Chapter 154 Happy Transfer

Cui Yao finally experienced what it means to be without coincidence. The cooperation between these two hostile parties can be said to be extremely tacit and even seamless.

He raised his head and looked at the expectant smile on the dean's face, but his brain was spinning rapidly. The old dean was the first to call his name for his own reasons. Although the old dean was not a prominent figure in the materials science industry, he

, but it is well-known in the field of organic chemistry.

So when he went to the Manchester Materials Science Research Center, in addition to his boss at the time, the old dean also wrote a letter of recommendation for him, which could be regarded as a favor to him.

But Cui Yao had already made up his mind to go to college.

It’s really not about settling down and living a better life. He just goes there for a laboratory that is completely his own. If he stays in Shuangdan, even if he reaches the academician stage in the future, he may not be able to have a laboratory that is completely his own.

Independent laboratory. Not to mention whether he can become an academician is still a question.

You must know that even in foreign countries, independent laboratories mostly have the kind of treatment only those who have won major awards. As long as you really want to engage in academic research, who wouldn't want to have such a place where you can perform freely.

But such a laboratory, even if it only contains the most basic instruments and equipment, costs at least one million US dollars to start with. Especially since the direction of his research also requires dust-free, the cost will be correspondingly higher.

It is impossible for the school to get money. If you want to build a laboratory, you have to rely on yourself to beg for help. There are also professors who are good at dancing outside. But once you put your experience in making money everywhere, you will lose the energy to do research. How many years does a person have in a lifetime?

?

Not to mention that even if you can get money, some laboratory equipment is really not something you can buy if you want to.

There is no limit to the research, and money is so hard to make.

Now it is not easy to meet a big donor who is not only rich, but also famous around the world. It can even be said to be extremely prestigious. He is willing to give money and equipment to the laboratory. With the blessing of these things, maybe he can

Achieve your lifelong wish.

It is absolutely impossible for him to refuse.

So now there are only two choices left before Cui Yao.

Give the old dean face at the meeting and declare that he is willing to stay and work with Shuangdan University, and then it is time to leave. Anyway, there is no way to express your position verbally; or you can tell the truth and just do whatever you want.

But after hesitating for only a second, Cui Yao finally chose to tell the truth.

It's really not his character to do one thing in front of others and do another behind the scenes, and he slaps himself in the face so quickly. When he gets to the university, when he meets his colleagues again, he will feel unable to hold his head high.

"Well, Dean Luo, since you asked me to speak first, I will tell the truth. Yes, I have great feelings for Shuangdan, and I very much hope that Shuangdan will get better and better. After all, Shuangdan once

It is my alma mater. Who doesn’t want a good alma mater? But scientific research is too difficult, especially for those of us who are engaged in materials science. As we all know, materials science is a basic subject that requires huge investment, but the most annoying thing is that it has a research and development cycle.

It is long-term and has the characteristics of uncertain return rate.

This is a purely money-consuming business, and what we do is a waste of money and no reward. When it comes to subject expectations, such as basic subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., everyone’s expectations are only theoretical breakthroughs. But our materials

Learning is different. The public’s expectation is whether the thing we research can be used! Even if we make usable materials, when it reaches the threshold of application, we still have to consider whether the thing can be industrially produced and whether the cost can be reduced.

Come down.

What’s even more annoying is that the equipment we use for testing is extremely expensive. I applied to the college last year to replace an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope, but it hasn’t been approved yet. Of course, I can understand that.

After all, an ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscope costs several million. Not only that, if we want to study nanomechanical properties, we also need atomic force microscopes to study the electrical, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of the material surface.

These are all money. Really, Dean Luo, today I, Cui Yao, can pat my chest and say that I don’t need any of the personal treatment given by the University, including the settlement allowance given to me, and I plan to invest it all in research and development.

But I really want the laboratory. Now students have to queue up to do experiments, cut a cross section, queue up to do nanostructure processing, and queue up to prepare samples... It feels like all the time is spent queuing up.

So, Dean Luo, if you really ask me to express my position, I can only say that if the conditions offered by both sides are the same, or even if the personal treatment at Shuangdan University is worse, I can accept it and choose to stay at Shuangdan University. But

I think it will be difficult for Double Dan University to meet the conditions offered by the university now at least within ten years, so if you want to hear the truth, if my project is approved, I will choose to go there."

Cui Yao explained his thoughts in a reasonable and orderly manner.

Everyone's eyes were focused on his face, while Cui Yao looked at the old dean calmly.

He believed that as an academic, Dean Luo could understand his thoughts, but if he couldn't understand, then he couldn't understand, and there was nothing he could do about it.

You can't even give up academic achievements just to take care of that little favor.

The expression of the old dean was indeed quite astonished, but he regained his composure after a moment, and when he looked at everyone, a trace of dejection appeared on his face.

"Okay, I probably understand what you are thinking. Xiao Cui really thinks highly of the academy. It has been said for ten years. Even in another twenty years, it is probably impossible for you to build a laboratory for each of you. But I

I still suggest that you think about it. I won’t hide it from you. According to school statistics, the school has more than 800 teaching positions with associate professor or above. Colleagues in research positions have all received almost the same invitation letters. What does this mean that you should

clear.

So if you are really determined to go to college, I won’t give you any more advice. But your professional title belongs here, and I can’t follow you. So I also suggest that you be more cautious and don’t resign yet.

Before signing a contract with the other party, you must first let them fulfill part of their promise before considering it. Otherwise, if you are deceived, it will be a waste of water and it will be embarrassing for both parties if you want to come back.

That’s all I have to say! Anyway, everyone has a good mind. Although Ning Zi logically said that he would not care about feathers so much, there is no harm in having a lot of good thoughts. In short, the pie painted opposite is too big, and you all

Just take care of yourself. Okay, let’s break up the meeting.”

The old dean waved his hand and said in a disinterested tone.

This meeting can be said to be an anticlimax.

But there is no way. In fact, Cui Yao is right. If Shuangdan wants to retain people at this time, he must improve various benefits. But the old dean knows very well that the scientific research funds allocated to Shuangdan every year are only so much, and they have been divided up long ago.

After all, even if there are some mobile funds, it is impossible to spread them out on a large scale.

Not to mention that they spent 50 billion in the first batch...

What is the concept of 50 billion?

The total financial allocation that Shuangdan University can receive every year is less than 5 billion, which also includes funding from the state and local governments. In this case, what can Shuangdan University do to retain students?

As for the brain drain, that is a problem that the school should worry about, and he is too lazy to worry about it.

It's time for him to retire anyway. The only thing that makes the old dean sad is probably the children who applied for double dan.

Fortunately, according to statistics, the National Sports University is a little more merciful when it comes to teaching positions. Most of the invitations are for research-oriented scholars, researchers in laboratories, and associate researchers are the main targets. Many outstanding backbone teachers have not received invitations.

letter.

Of course, the old dean will not think that this is a good intention on the part of the National Sports University, and they want to let the two men off. You can figure it out with your eyes closed. The demand for teaching talents at the National Sports University is not urgent. After all, these are natural

There were no subjects in the science field before the National University of Science and Technology. Basically, undergraduate students only started enrolling students this year. In other words, these newly established departments of natural sciences will only need teachers who can teach first-year students in the next year.

, the teaching task is very easy.

In short, there is only so much the old dean can say.

He is quite old, and it is impossible for him to casually promise policies that the school cannot come up with. Not to mention that everyone who can participate in this meeting has at least been baptized by the Ten Thousand Persons Plan, and has various concerns about how to allocate scientific research funds.

It is clear that even if he is willing to take advantage of the meeting, these people will not believe him.

Now the old dean only hopes that the university will not just make empty claims.

As long as the promises are really fulfilled, people can leave. At least with the investment of this money, maybe these people can really produce some results. Many people may not even be able to become academicians, but now there is a possibility of impact.

…

"Old Cui, did your project pass the review?" As soon as the meeting ended, a group of people gathered around Cui Yao.

"Ahem..."

Cui Yao coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed to be pointed out directly, but before he could speak, someone else said: "Does this need to be said? Our project has passed, and Lao Cui must have passed it too. We are just right.

Let’s discuss what equipment each laboratory should choose, and we’ll communicate with each other when the time comes.”

"What do you mean?" Cui Yao was a little confused.

"Uh? No, right? Lao Cui, you don't know yet? There is an attachment to the email that passed the project review. It contains a list of recommended laboratory equipment for you. You should belong to the first-level laboratory like us, right? Can you choose?

The same main equipment worth millions of dollars, and five auxiliary equipment. If the laboratory wants to upgrade, it needs to produce results, and then the laboratory will be upgraded."

Cui Yao suddenly realized, "Is there still such a rule?"

"Otherwise! So we have been discussing, let's not select duplicate equipment. No one can stay in the laboratory 24 hours a day. Let's each select a batch so that we can share what we need in the future. This way

We can also pile up the results as soon as possible and then upgrade the laboratory."

"More than that, as long as it is upgraded to a third-level laboratory, it is said that it can be merged with other laboratories under Ningyuan to become a large-scale test center. By then, it can undertake more important scientific research tasks. You don't even need to go out to find projects yourself.

, because there will be many projects for us within Ningyuan. It is said that within five years, the total amount of investment given by Ningyuan to all internal laboratories will reach a scale of one trillion. How much can be obtained depends on each person's ability."

"Sounds good, but everyone, I specifically explained that our Materials Laboratory does not read articles, only the results. If you want to upgrade, you have to come up with something eventually, otherwise our Materials Laboratory will not develop by then.

It has been merged by other physics laboratories or something, and we will all have to work for them from now on."

The words spoken by the people around him made Cui Yao's blood boil with excitement.

Obviously this is a set of R&D competition mechanisms launched by the National Sports University, and it is also an interdisciplinary competition mechanism. It makes doing scientific research like playing games and requires upgrading. But how can I put it, it sounds quite interesting...

…

"Okay, let's stop talking now. You don't have anything to do today, right? How about we find a place to discuss this afternoon and decide on the equipment requirements for our respective laboratories?"

As soon as Cui Yao spoke these words, everyone responded immediately.

"I think it will work."

"Why don't you go over there after having a meal?"

"How about going to Lao Cui's office?"

"Second suggestion, if you want to eat, just pack a packed lunch and go directly there."
