Chapter 61: What Logic Is This?
The Nano Materials Laboratory of Xihai University has been focusing on the research of basic nano materials.
For example, the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials.
For example, the reaction movement of nanovitas particles.
Wait a minute.
Research in a similar direction belongs to theoretical foundation research, and it is not easy to apply for funding from the national fund for research in the direction of theoretical foundation, and most of the fields supported by the national fund are the application and manufacturing of materials.
The research of nano materials, or the research of materials science, itself is very dependent on financial support, without which experiments cannot be carried out, and the limited funding applied for is the biggest obstacle to research.
Therefore, Xia Guobin has been considering applying for horizontal projects, that is, projects that are developed in cooperation with enterprises.
It's not easy.
The vast majority of horizontal projects with abundant R&D funds are monopolized by national key laboratories and professional research institutes, and they cannot be applied for if they want to apply.
Donggang University's alloy laboratory is like this, they can receive many state-owned enterprise cooperation research and development projects, and never have to worry about scientific research funds.
The Navitas Laboratory of Xihai University is a bit 'high and low'.
Although it is said to be a provincial key laboratory, the provincial fund can allocate limited funds, and they need a lot of money to carry out research, and they can only rely on applying for small vertical projects every year to 'continue their lives'.
This cooperation with Innomicrotech is a very good opportunity, and the research of 'microsphere manufacturing' is the field of Navitas Laboratory.
Xia Guobin hoped that if they could reach a cooperation, they would have enough funds to continue research, but after a long time of preparation, they still did not reach a cooperation with Chuangwei Technology.
Chuangwei Technology also hopes to find a partner, they hope to have more scientific research achievements and more patents in the field of 'Navitas' material manufacturing, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding business with technical support.
The purpose of Su Yingxue's team to Xihai University was to cooperate with Navitas Laboratory, but after nearly a month of investigation, they finally chose to 'put their investment on hold' on the grounds that the analysis of the preliminary experimental data was vague and insufficient to explain the feasibility of research and development.
Private companies will certainly weigh the pros and cons of investing carefully.
They will hope that every input can be produced, and only with a greater probability of patents and technology output, large-scale capital investment will not be wasted.
Shelving the cooperation on the grounds of "fuzzy analysis of experimental data in the early stage" made Xia Guobin feel that he had nothing to say, because the experimental data was very large and complex, and they could only analyze it as a whole or in blocks, and grasp the data direction from the general direction to explain the feasibility of the research.
This method can be said to be meaningless from the basic logic, and no matter how it is analyzed, the final result will be 'high research feasibility'.
Xia Guobin knew that if he wanted to reach a cooperation, he had to solve the problem of experimental data analysis.
However, he couldn't.
Analyzing so much data is the work of a very professional data analysis expert, and the top experts in similar fields, he doesn't know who to invite, so he can only go to the mathematics and computer professors he knows.
As a result, all were rejected.
Everyone who refused gave a similar reason, "The data is too complex to do." Even if an analysis is done, it doesn't necessarily tell the story. ”
People who know each other in the same industry say bluntly, "Without enough manpower and high-end equipment, the premise data analysis will not be too fine." ”
"As long as there is high-end equipment, half of the problem is solved, but even when it comes to real research, there will still be the problem of analyzing massive amounts of data. Similar studies come up with results, and there is a big element of luck. ”
That's the problem.
Xia Guobin found many people but had no way and did not find a definite solution.
When I knew that Wang Hao's mathematical paper was about to be published in Acta Mathematica Sinica, and he won an award at an international computer conference, he simply came to him.
"That's what happened."
Xia Guobin sighed and said, "I have no choice, if I want to win the project, I must do fine experimental data analysis to be convincing." I can't do that, and neither can anyone else. ”
"I tried a lot of people, but they all said no."
"Wang Hao, Teacher Wang, Professor Wang." Xia Guobin's tone was a little pleading, "Look at it, can you help?" If you can't do it, you can help with the research. ”
Wang Hao was silent for a moment and said, "The analysis of massive data is very difficult to find the law and direction, and it involves the problem of data mining. Although there are many solutions to this area, in reality, it is very difficult to solve each of the different problems. ”
"In fact, similar to a feasibility study, even if you find patterns from a large amount of data, it is not necessarily valuable."
"This kind of analysis, spending millions of dollars to find a team of experts to do, and thinking and studying it at will, may get the same results."
Xia Guobin listened and nodded.
It's a fact.
At the same time, it is also the reason why the Chuangwei team has put the cooperation on hold, because the results of experimental data analysis cannot explain the problem.
He shook his head and said, "But, we really can't do it, and it doesn't make sense to do it." ”
"Hmm~~"
Wang Hao hesitated for a long time, then thought about it and said, "Otherwise, Professor Xia, you give me the data, and I will take the time to help study it, but I must explain three points." ”
"You say!" Xia Guobin immediately said, "As long as you are willing to help take a look, anything can be done." ”
Wang Hao said seriously, "First, I can try, but my ability is limited, and I am not sure if I can do it." ”
Xia Guobin nodded.
"Second, when I do analysis, I must be based on practical principles, and what the result is, it is the result, and I will not draw conclusions in the direction that is conducive to R&D and feasibility."
"Then sure, if the research is not feasible, we will not force it, and we must be responsible for the enterprise!" Xia Guobin followed.
"Third, there is also a labor fee, and I don't want much, which is the 20,000 yuan you said." Wang Hao explained, "This is a symbolic work expense, after all, no one wants to spend time to do a job that has nothing to do with them." ”
"That's all there is to say." Xia Guobin spoke decisively, he was rejected many times, and as long as Wang Haoken tried, he was already very satisfied.
……
Xia Guobin attaches great importance to the analysis of experimental data, and the next day he handed over the hard disk containing a large amount of experimental data to Wang Hao.
After Wang Hao loaded the contents into the computer, he only read it for about half an hour, and after understanding the general meaning, he decided to put it aside for the time being and study it again when he had time.
This kind of data analysis work is not something that can be completed in one or two days, but it can be completed in a few months, and the speed is already quite fast.
He still did his own thing, and carefully wrote two project application reports, one is "Exploration and Research on Carry Judgment Algorithm", and is ready to apply for the Natural Science Foundation of Northern Xinjiang Province.
The other is "Research on the Probability of Prime Number Distribution", which applied for the Outstanding Youth Fund Project of Northern Xinjiang Province.
The deadline for applying for provincial fund projects is until the end of the month, Wang Hao is not in a hurry to write slowly, and the rest of the time is either to do exercises, or to go to the library to read books, but also to increase the knowledge reserve, but also to bring inspiration to the research and development task.
Three days later, Wang Hao took two applications and went to the school's science and technology department with other printed materials.
Zhu Jianrong and Li Ming are there.
During this period, the work of the school's science and technology department is the busiest, and there are always people who come to consult about the fund projects, and there are many people who come to submit various project reports.
Zhu Jianrong still attaches great importance to Wang Hao's application for projects, because Wang Hao has already made a lot of achievements, and there are top journals or top academic conference papers in the fields of mathematics and computer science.
This level of dissertation is sufficient to support the application for a national research project.
Zhu Jianrong judged that Wang Hao should have no problem applying for a 'excellent youth', but he took the application report and took a closer look, it was indeed the same as he thought, it was to apply for the outstanding youth project, but at the provincial level.
He suddenly asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" Professor Wang Hao, with your achievements, you can apply for the national level and excellent youth! ”
"There's no need." Wang Hao said three words simply.
"Not necessary?"
Zhu Jianrong didn't understand it very much, he thought that Wang Hao didn't understand the rules, and immediately explained, "The National Natural Science Foundation of China project is much more than the funds allocated at the provincial level, and the same project may be doubled, or even doubled or tripled...... Fifty thousand? This computer project is...... Two hundred thousand? ”
"Too little!"
Li Ming took the two applications, opened them and looked at them carefully, and immediately said, "This funding requirement is too low." For example, a computer research project, a national-level excellent youth, how can there be more than 400,000 yuan, right? Even if it is a math project, you can apply for 100,000 on the surface. ”
Wang Hao shook his head and explained, "I have thought about it carefully, there is no need at all, because I don't need too much money, this kind of project, as long as there is it, it is not sent to me anyway, it can just be reimbursed." ”
"The National Outstanding Youth Fund subsidizes projects of 400,000 yuan over several years, with an average of only 100,000 yuan per year. If you complete the research in one year, you won't be able to use the rest of the funds? ”
“……”
“……”
Zhu Jianrong and Li Ming glanced at each other, and they felt that what Wang Hao said made sense......
A P!
Others are disgusted with the lack of funding for the project.
This guy thinks that there are too many funds, and he is not satisfied with the distribution in a few years, and what do he say that the funds do not belong to him?
What kind of logic is this?
