Sitting across the phone for an interview was Wang Junying, a reporter from the Northern Xinjiang Provincial Television Station.
Wang Junying came for the interview just to ask Wang Hao to express his views on the focus of online public opinion, that is, on the issue of "losses caused by mistakes made by scientific researchers".
Wang Hao is a client of Donggang Experimental News. He can share his personal experience based on this issue.
Wang Junying does not have any bad intentions. She represents the Northern Xinjiang Provincial Television Station.
Wang Hao is an academic star in universities in Northern Xinjiang Province. He has continuously completed basic mathematics research. He is not only influential domestically, but also has great influence internationally.
Northern Xinjiang Province is not a big academic province, but it still takes academic celebrities very seriously.
Just like the judgment made by Ma Wenjun, scientific researchers need to establish a positive image, and the past stains and other stains will be brushed aside. Even if there are some potentially controversial words during the interview, they will be cut out when reporting.
So Wang Junying just listened to what Wang Hao said and responded to the focus of public opinion based on his words.
She didn't expect to hear such words at all.
Wang Hao's answer was very unexpected. He did not talk about the issue that was the focus of public opinion at all. Instead, he talked about the Donggang Experiment incident. He was dismissed and expelled from Donggang University very simply and quickly, perhaps even without investigation.
, all the responsibility falls on him.
After hearing this, Wang Junying was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and asked, "Professor Wang Hao, do you mean to say that the problem of the Donggang Experiment is not your problem and has nothing to do with you at all?"
"I don't think so."
Wang Hao expressed his views on the matter, "I have just talked about the process I experienced personally. Even I know very little about it myself, and the only thing Donggang University gave me was a letter of dismissal."
"I was fired. I couldn't even enter the materials laboratory and had no way of knowing what the problem was."
"The only thing I can be sure of is that there was nothing wrong with my work because I later recalculated all the data."
He finally added, "I am very confident in my computing abilities."
…
The phone interview ends.
After Wang Hao put down the phone, he immediately felt the strange look in the eyes of the department chair Zhou Jianchun.
The look in his eyes revealed things like "so that's it", "big things", "big gossip", etc. He felt like something was wrong all over him just looking at him.
Zhou Jianchun didn't say a word, just watched Wang Hao leave the office, and then took a deep breath.
It's a big deal.
Even at Xihai University, there are many people talking about the Donggang Experiment Incident, mainly because Wang Hao is at Xihai University and has continuously completed amazing results.
Wang Hao is the focus, and what happens to him will also become the focus.
People won't discuss it publicly, but they still talk a lot in private. Some people think there must be something wrong with the matter, but most people just gossip and don't delve into it in depth, probably because even if they do, there will be no results.
it's good now.
After listening to Wang Hao and reporters just now, Zhou Jianchun was sure of one thing: the Donggang Experiment incident must have nothing to do with Wang Hao.
In fact, this incident has no impact on Wang Hao.
Even if it is true that he made an experimental error and caused losses to the Materials Laboratory of Donggang University, the past is in the past. Everyone is paying attention to Wang Hao's latest results. Even the public opinion on the Internet, most people
He also believes that it is normal for scientific researchers to make mistakes.
No cutting-edge research can be guaranteed to be 100% correct, or even have a low probability of being correct.
Even if there are some low-level mistakes, it is normal, just like when students do math problems, no one dares to say that they will be 100% correct.
If the matter was really Wang Hao's problem, he would be unlikely to talk about it, discuss it, or deny his own problem.
Then there is only one answer left.
It's not Wang Hao's problem, it's naturally the problem of other people in the materials laboratory. Wang Hao just took the blame in the first place.
This kind of thing only needs to be analyzed in depth to know.
Zhou Jianchun thought carefully and realized that this matter might be serious. Of course, the matter was directed at Donggang University and had nothing to do with Xihai University.
Although it is impossible to say directly, it may be interesting to see the jokes made by other universities.
Wang Hao felt relaxed all over when he returned to the office. For the first time, he talked about the Donggang Experiment incident head-on, to a reporter from a provincial radio station.
So after returning to the office, he said clearly, "What happened in Donggang is not my problem."
A simple sentence ignited the enthusiasm in the office.
In the past, people in the office kept silent about public opinion news. They just reviewed the news individually and occasionally looked at Wang Hao worriedly. Now that Wang Hao took the initiative, they could discuss freely. Zhu Ping stood up and said
, "I knew this matter had nothing to do with Wang Hao as soon as he came here. Wang Hao is such a smart person, how could he make such a low-level mistake?"
"Even if the data is wrong, Wang Hao had just graduated with a Ph.D. at that time, so it was impossible to leave the data work to him alone."
This sentence is wrong.
The main persons in charge of the data work in the materials laboratory are Ma Wenjun and Wang Hao. It is precisely because they can take on part of the data work, unlike doctoral students who are only responsible for some trivial tasks, that he chose to join the materials
laboratory.
Others also started talking, "It must be a problem with the Donggang Materials Laboratory. The data is wrong. Why hasn't the problem been found for three months?"
"If the general data is wrong, it can be seen in one or two experiments."
"Isn't there one last year? It was said to be a chemical engineering laboratory, and the data was compiled. The supervisor guided the doctoral students to compile data and write papers."
"The Materials Laboratory is a great place. We are very rich. We are at the top of scientific research. We are aristocrats. One project costs tens of millions."
"The top talent is so rich..."
This is the truth.
The materials-related R&D departments affiliated to domestic universities have a pyramid-shaped funding structure. The top materials laboratories can be said to have no shortage of money, while ordinary laboratories are at the bottom. It is very difficult to apply for a small project.
Sokai University's nanotechnology laboratory is at the middle level, not as good as the top but more than the bottom. However, it is still not easy to apply for big projects.
Wang Hao chatted a few words with people in the office, and also chatted a few words with Su Yingxue on the mobile communication software.
They have just added friends.
Wang Hao asked Su Yingxue for help and negotiated with Penguin's representative. Su Yingxue was much more professional than him and would definitely be able to negotiate more sponsorships. His idea was to give Su Yingxue a few points of share, which was equivalent to finding an intermediary.
Negotiation is done.
However, Su Yingxue insisted not to divide the money, but only said that after the negotiation, she would treat her to a meal.
This made Wang Hao feel embarrassed. Favors are often the hardest to repay.
After talking to Su Yingxue for a few words, Wang Hao was confused by what the other party said, "Professor Xia has something to ask you, but he is too embarrassed to say anything, and I am too embarrassed to say anything."
"When you have an agreement with Penguin and treat me to dinner, please call Professor Xia by the way."
Xia Guobin wants to see me for something?
Wang Hao was a little confused, but he still replied with two words, "Okay."
…
Donggang University.
Sha Mianzhi left with two professors from the School of Computer Science.
He was holding a mobile phone in his hand and kept talking, "I have already said that Wang Hao is a genius, but the school actually dismissed him. I don't know what they were thinking."
"The school has gone too far. Look at what is said on the Internet. Scientific researchers should have a more relaxed environment."
"Isn't it normal for scientific research to make mistakes? Even if there is a mistake, it should be treated normally. How many big projects in the materials laboratory have the loss of 10 million is a lot?"
"It's better now. The loss is a loss. The genius has gone to other universities."
As Sha Mianzhi spoke, he scrolled another line and continued, "Look at what this says. Scientific researchers should be treated more tolerantly. In cutting-edge exploratory work, there are many more mistakes than correct ones."
"If you are fired if you make mistakes in scientific research, there will be no one to do research in the future. People like us will just resign."
The two professors next to him also nodded, "Yes, I watched the entire video of Wang Hao's interview yesterday. Those two functions are so well-shaped, I don't know how they came up with them. What kind of brain structure is that?
, to come up with such a weird decision function?”
"This kind of genius is really rare to see in decades, and as a result, he was fired by the school."
The three people were walking while talking, and happened to pass by the entrance of the materials laboratory building.
Sha Mianzhi glanced at it and saluted at the door, "Bah!"
