Wang Chenglin left the Science Foundation in embarrassment.

He went to the parking lot and got into the car, and soon waited for Jiang Jian, who came behind him, both of them with some embarrassment and depression on their faces.

Wang Chenglin knew that Jiang Jian couldn't be blamed, and even he didn't expect that Wang Hao would be able to come up with such a direction.

By constructing mathematical models, the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity is studied, so as to establish a bridge between theory and application.

This direction is very novel.

There was silence in the car for a long time.

Jiang Jian felt a little embarrassed, because he said those words at the seminar, which led to today's situation, but it was not his responsibility alone, it was Wang Chenglin who originally proposed that the research of the physics laboratory should cooperate with the basic science center.

He hesitated for a long time before asking, "Professor Wang, are we going to leave like this?" ”

"What else else?"

Wang Chenglin asked angrily, "The matter here has nothing to do with us, and they won't share it with us how much money they take." But ......"

He continued thoughtfully, "It's not without gains, the direction Wang Hao said is very good!" ”

Jiang Jian was a little surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect Wang Chenglin to affirm Wang Hao.

"We haven't been able to develop individual projects to support research, but we can't deny other people's ideas, especially those that are very creative and very novel. ”

He said very seriously, "Moreover, everyone knows that Wang Hao is a genius." ”

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "Indeed, Wang Hao is a genius, just in his twenties. He shook his head, "It's incredible, I didn't graduate with a Ph.D. at his age, and he got Fields right away." ”

Wang Chenglin continued, "In the field of mathematics, it is difficult, almost impossible, to find someone who is more talented than Wang Hao. ”

"But we don't need to find the kind of mathematical genius who can prove Goldbach's conjecture, it's enough to find a few good mathematics professors."

Jiang Jian asked puzzledly, "Professor Wang, what do you mean......?"

"I just thought about it."

Wang Chenglin said, "The kind of mathematical model made by Wang Hao seems to be very shocking, but just because we are not a mathematics major, if we are a mathematician engaged in research in related fields, there is a high probability that we can do it." ”

"It's impossible to be at the top level."

"So we can do research in this direction as well."

He said with a smile, "The mathematics level of Capital University is one of the best in China, and it is easy to find a few mathematics professors in the school, after all, it is not the kind of research that can only be completed by geniuses. ”

Jiang Jian's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that what Wang Chenglin said was very reasonable.

Wang Hao relied on the data of the exchange gravity experiment to build a mathematical model, and the live demonstration did give people a shocking feeling, but that kind of research was not impossible to complete, and it did not reach the level of the top impossible to solve.

Other math professors can do the same, but it just takes more time.

If they find a few more mathematics professors, they will be able to do the same research, and when they have the results, they can apply for the same project as the physics laboratory, and no one can say anything.

If you can produce results faster, today's face will not only be recovered, but also let others look up to you.

"However, the funding ......," Jiang Jian thought of a key issue.

Previously, the Basic Science Center has invested nearly 10 million yuan in the follow-up project of the exchange of gravity, part of which is funded by the university, and most of it is funded by the Basic Science Center.

If we continue to exchange gravity experiments, we will definitely continue to spend large sums of money, and without the funding of the Science Foundation, unless we use the funds of the superconductivity project, we will not be able to find other funds.

Wang Chenglin smiled, "Don't worry about this for the time being. Wang Hao's research relies on AC gravity experimental data, and we also have AC gravity experimental data, but we can't catch up with their results. ”

"Let's use this part of the data as a basis first, find a few good math professors, and let them build a mathematical model."

"After that, we will slowly improve it, and think about the funding slowly, as long as there are results, there is no need to worry about it at all."

Jiang Jian thought and nodded.

……

Exchange gravity project venue.

In the afternoon, the only topic on the agenda was appropriations, which were also attended by senior leaders of several science foundations.

The physics laboratory submitted an application for a grant of 100 million yuan, and also listed the detailed experimental needs, but it is obvious that the funding of 100 million yuan is unlikely to pass.

Even if Wang Hao explains the new direction of research, it is difficult to rely on judgment to increase a large amount of funding until the new direction is not fruitful.

The final funding was set at 65 million.

This amount was a bit more than expected, and their initial target was 50 million, mainly related to the size of the physics laboratory.

In the absence of sufficient scientific researchers and infrastructure, it is very difficult to apply for a grant of 50 million yuan, even if it has a good research and development direction.

Such a large amount of money is enough to build a provincial laboratory.

After the meeting, Wang Hao sighed and walked outside with He Yi and others.

He Yi, Xiao Xinyu and Yan Jing were obviously in a different mood from Wang Hao, and they all felt very excited, because they had received more than 60 million funds, and such a high amount of funds was unimaginable.

He Yi said, "Wang Hao, more than 60 million is already a lot, and with the scale of our laboratory, I feel that 10 million is a lot." ”

"Yes, I feel a lot too, and I didn't even dare to think about it when I came." Xiao Xinyu also nodded and said.

Yan Jing said, "It's all said to be a big project, but how can it catch up with the superconducting laboratory or basic science center?" Those are oversized institutions. ”

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "You don't understand, this is why they are stingy, it is estimated that our laboratory is too small and has no influence." ”

"If the superconductivity laboratory or basic science center approves the same project, it can get at least 100 million."

The other three were also silent.

It's a fact.

In fact, it is also related to the new research direction, because the new research direction is just being announced, and even if it is said in a fanciful way, the Foundation will worry about the results.

What if, being fooled?

For a new direction, first of all, there must be results to make people believe.

For example, the superconductivity project of the Basic Science Center, the international research is done in this direction, which is equivalent to following the path that everyone else has taken, and the results are naturally not to be worried.

The physics lab opens up a new path.

No one dares to be 100 percent sure whether this new road will be able to make progress, and it is natural that we must carefully consider the funds.

While a few people were talking, they heard a shout from behind, "Professor Wang, wait!" ”

Wang Hao looked back and was surprised.

It's Xiang Qiansheng.

Xiang Qianqi chased after him panting, and after standing still, he saw that the other three seemed to be a little hesitant.

Wang Hao suddenly said, "Professor Xiang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, it's all your own people." He was referring to the fact that the other three were his own people, and Xiang Qiansheng was not his own people.

Xiang Qiansheng continued to hesitate, and only after a long time did he squirm and ask, "That's the case, Professor Wang, I want to take the opportunity to ask, is there still a shortage of people in your physics laboratory?" ”

“？？”

"Huh?"

The people next to them were a little stunned when they heard this question, and they realized what they were going to say to Qiansheng.

After opening his mouth to Qiansheng, he said much more smoothly, "I have thought about it carefully, and your research direction is very promising, so I want to join your project." ”

Wang Haoman asked puzzledly, "Are you going to work in Xihai?" ”

"Yes!"

Xiang Qiansheng nodded very hard, "I've already thought about it, in fact, this is not a temporary decision, I have thought about it before." I'm a big fan of the study of alternating gravity, but it's no longer possible in the superconductivity lab. ”

Wang Hao thought about it and said, "Professor Xiang, even if you go to the physics laboratory, you can only be an ordinary researcher. ”

"It's okay!" Xiang Qiansheng's voice was very firm, and then he smiled bitterly, "Professor Wang, Professor He, let me tell you the truth, after this project, I have no place in the superconductivity laboratory, and I will be idle in the future, but I still want to continue to do research and projects, instead of mixing until I retire." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Hao very seriously.

Wang Hao looked at He Yi and said with a smile, "Regarding this issue, you still want Professor He, I am only in charge of the project, but not the laboratory." ”

Xiang Qiansheng looked at He Yi again.

He Yi hurriedly said, "No problem, no problem." You are a professor of the Academy of Sciences, and you want to come to our laboratory, how can I refuse? And we're short of people for this project. On behalf of Swimhai University, I would like to welcome you. ”

"Then it's decided."

Xiang Qiansheng exhaled lightly, and an expectant smile appeared on his face.

……

Three days later.

Wang Hao and his entourage returned to Xihai University, and they were talking about the project all the way.

The topic is also indispensable to Xiang Qiansheng.

Xiang Qiansheng competed with them for the project at first, and later saw that his complexion was obviously a little decadent, and there was definitely no sympathy or anything like that, after all, it was the original competitor, and the other party took the initiative to compete.

Now Xiang Qiansheng hopes to join the physics laboratory and participate in the research project of communicating gravity, but they can't find a reason to refuse.

Because, the level of strength.

Xiang Qiansheng is a researcher at the Superconductivity Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences, who has been engaged in superconductivity-related research for more than ten years, and is also an expert in electric power.

The physics laboratory has received more than 60 million projects, and it is about to face the expansion of the scale, and it suddenly becomes very short of people, not only the problem of lack of people, but even it is not easy to recruit people.

The attraction of colleges and universities in the western region to talents is much smaller, and top talents in related fields cannot be hired with money.

More than 60 million funds seem to be a lot, but in fact, because most of them are used for projects, the recruitment of relevant talents still needs to be in the school, rather than using the funds to directly recruit externally.

For example, if a top talent wants to join the physics laboratory, it is not the physics laboratory to recruit them, but Xihai University hires them as professors, and then goes to the physics laboratory as a researcher.

The university's research institutions can only give subsidies, not pay salaries directly.

The same is true for physics laboratories, which are not independent scientific research institutions and have no rights or capital, and pay salaries directly to the relevant personnel.

Relatively speaking, it is very easy for the laboratory to recruit doctoral students and mobile postdocs, and it only needs to expand the number of places, but it is very difficult to recruit top researchers.

The same is true for the Mason Mathematical Science Laboratory, it is easy to recruit students and postdoctoral fellows, and it is easy to recruit high-level researchers, which can be described as 'difficult as climbing to the sky', and it is still up to the school to 'poach'.

This is also the reason why Zhang Zhiqiang keeps 'poaching' the computer lab.

After returning to Xihai University, Wang Hao returned to work in the Mason Number Laboratory, and he was also a little worried about the scale of the laboratory.

The new laboratory is about to be opened, but there are only two regular researchers in the laboratory, one is himself, and the other is Zheng Yaojun.

Zhang Zhiqiang can only be regarded as half, he is still an 'associate researcher'.

Professor Qi Xiao is not sure that he will continue to stay in the laboratory next year, and the most important thing is that he will not be able to pass the old man Chen Qinghua's pass.

Chen Qinghua is very difficult to speak, and his influence is still very great, after all, he has the title of academician, and he has reached the pinnacle of scholars, and he is a pillar level figure in universities.

"Ah~~"

"I don't know when Old Man Chen will retire......"

Wang Hao thought helplessly, "Although Zhang Zhiqiang's level is a little insufficient, just like Old Man Chen said, he still works very hard, and he can also consider being promoted to a researcher?" ”

He pondered.

In a provincial-level laboratory, three researchers must be made up of the number of researchers, otherwise it will be a little too embarrassing.

"There is another way, which is to put up a name, just say to Old Man Chen to borrow, we have a big project that needs manpower, and let a few professors from the computer lab come to the name......"

"Nominate and always nominate because there is always a project, there is a loan but not a return."

Wang Hao thought about it carefully and felt that this idea was very good.

And so it was decided!

After a few days of leisure, he returned to work.

This time, instead of doing new research, I plan to complete the project on the space agency's side first.

Of course.

The project is very complex and cannot be completed if you want to, but the mathematical basis of the core algorithm can be solved first.

It's his job too.

Wang Hao is very clear about the work assignment of the project, he is responsible for the mathematical basis of the core code, Zheng Yaojun is responsible for the calculation and sorting of the edge, and the mathematical basic content is 'translated' to Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao completed the most important core code part according to the 'mathematical translation'.

The core code is the most important.

The rest of the work was handed over to Zhang Zhiqiang to lead others to complete.

Zhang Zhiqiang plays a very big role, he is almost equivalent to the project manager, but he does not need to pay attention to the core code, and he is responsible for other tedious work.

He almost 'ran out of his leg' and spent a lot of time on projects every day.

Recently, overtime has become the norm.

On this day, Wang Hao finally completed the work on the foundation of mathematics, checked it from beginning to end, and discussed with Zheng Yaojun where it might go wrong, and finally determined the plan.

The rest of the work can be handed over to someone else, and it's only a matter of time before the project is completed.

He and Zhang Zhiqiang also discussed, "Brother Zhang, how long will it take for your work over there to be completed?" ”

"Two months, right?" Zhang Zhiqiang thought for a while, and then made a negative, "It shouldn't be necessary, it can be completed in about forty days." ”

"It's been hard for you for a long time."

Wang Hao said, "Don't worry about the core code, I have completed the basics, and only Professor Qi's work is left, which is about the same in about a month." ”

"That's good."

Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly smiled, "After the completion of this project, it will be easy for a while." ”

Wang Hao said with a smile, "The hard work is rewarded, our project, the remaining funds are still a lot, when the time comes, we will give everyone a bonus." ”

"How much can I get?" Zhang Zhiqiang's eyes seemed to be glowing when he heard that there was a bonus.

"It depends on the situation, why don't you send tens of thousands?" Wang Hao is a little unsure, it still depends on how much money is left in the end, but there is a high probability that it will exceed three million, and it is no problem to issue bonuses.

Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly felt full of energy, and his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength.

Tens of thousands of prizes!

If you add the subsidy of the laboratory, as well as the salary and bonus of the school, on average, it will exceed 20,000 yuan after tax every month, and it may even reach 30,000 yuan?

Annual salary of 360,000!

A thousand a day!

"That's what it's like to have a high salary, and when the time comes, you must change to a better car!" Zhang Zhiqiang was suddenly full of expectations.

At this time, Wang Hao's phone rang, it was Liu Rongxing of the Space Bureau.

"It should be a project thing."

Wang Hao picked up the phone and muttered in a low voice.

Zhang Zhiqiang is also a participant in the project, so there is no need to avoid it.

After the phone was answered, I heard Liu Rongxing on the other side say, "Professor Wang, have you been busy lately?" ”

"I'm not busy, it's okay, Professor Liu, what's the matter, you say."

Wang Hao said directly.

Liu Rongxing continued, "That's right, an old friend came to me and wanted to ask you a math question. ”

"I've just sent the content to your mailbox."

"If you have time, just help take a look, that problem doesn't need to be solved, I want to ask you if it's possible."

"Don't worry, the old rules, 500,000!"

"The old rules?" Wang Hao was a little puzzled when he heard it.

Liu Rongxing subconsciously asked, "Isn't it?" ”

“…… All right. ”

Wang Hao put down the phone with doubts, he didn't know when, '500,000' became his old rule?

Sounds weird?

Zhang Zhiqiang listened to a few words, and immediately leaned over and asked suspiciously, "What does he mean?" Let you look at a question, ask if it can be realized, and then give 500,000? ”

"That's right."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "I really don't understand, what kind of money are you talking about when you are engaged in academics?" And just ask a question, and give back half a million. They're just too money-conscious. ”

"Actually, even if I don't give money, I'll help."

Looking at Wang Hao's indifferent look, the corners of Zhang Zhiqiang's mouth barely grinned.

Thinking about how hard I have worked for several months, I am still happy for tens of thousands of yuan in bonuses, and I can't help but shed tears of poverty
