Chapter 496 Information Gathering
Xu Zhengping sat in the office, correcting homework one by one, with a serious and serious expression.
Unlike later universities, universities that have just resumed the college entrance examination, the educational environment is harsh and warm.
Each student has to attend four or even six classes every day, six or even six classes a week, and 30 classes are held, about fifteen classes, and almost all of these fifteen classes have homework assignments.
For students, they naturally have to work hard until late at night for two or three classes a day. Therefore, they joke that they go to bed at 3 a.m. and get up at 9 a.m. is the "Jiu San Society".
Such learning requirements are naturally quite strict.
However, if students have to do homework, the teacher naturally needs to correct it. Moreover, not only ordinary lecturers and teaching assistants need to correct it, but also associate professors and even professors need to correct it, and they often do not use others' hands.
There are many people who personally correct articles that are not compatible with college students and beginners. This is the warm side of colleges in the 1980s.
Logically speaking, if a college student’s homework is not a correction, however, China has always had a tradition of masters in learning. There are many scholars who are idle at home who teach elementary school, and there are often outstanding disciples who stand out.
The same was true in the 1980s, and countless college students benefited from this.
However, if someone gets it, someone will give it.
A class consists of at least twenty or thirty people and at most hundreds or eighty people. Even if you teach two classes a week, it is a heavy teaching task.
Even if one article is written by one person or one hundred people, they almost have the urge to die after reading the articles of one hundred people.
After the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities, the homework of colleges and universities is almost gone.
However, universities in the 1980s still maintained this good practice. Although it is not guaranteed that every student can apply what they have learned, it is still okay to put the basic knowledge tree in place.
Associate professors like Xu Zhengping, although there are heavy scientific research work besides teaching tasks, and although there are four people sitting in a small office, and even the time to sleep is tight every day, they are still focused and serious when correcting homework.
From time to time, students come to the office to ask questions. Xu Zhengping takes the shift three days a week, and many students come to ask questions.
This is also related to his level. Because of his clear explanation of the problem, some students from other classes also came to ask Xu Zhengping questions. He treated him equally and did not feel like a waste of time.
Of course, if the question is too weak, Xu Zhengping will also use simple single sentences to make people unable to get out of Taiwan.
Since he has no intention of academic research, there is no need to waste valuable university places. Xu Zhengping has always thought so, but he rarely says it.
But today, Xu Zhengping was a little absent-minded.
Just yesterday, Yang Rui handed over the prepared project instructions to him, and Ming said that he would start a new project in the next few days, and Xu Zhengping was skeptical.
Looking back now, Xu Zhengping hopes that Yang Rui can really do this.
"Who is Professor Xu and Professor Xu Zhengping?" Another student knocked on the door.
"I am. Which class are you from?" Xu Zhengping did not look up and finished the homework being drafted first.
The student waited obediently, and waited for Xu Zhengping's work to be completed, and said with a smile: "I am He Quangui. We have met you. I am helping in Professor Tang's laboratory. I am here to deliver documents to Yang Rui."
It's a bit long-winded, but clear.
Xu Zhengping asked as if he didn't hear it clearly: "What documents should I send?"
"Where will you put relevant information about the new project?"
"Let it be on the table."
"I'm afraid I can't let it go." He Quangui said and ran out.
After a while, He Quangui and three other classmates moved in with four large boxes.
"Put it here!" He Quangui first placed the box on Xu Zhengping's table, and the other three students quickly followed.
The box fell on the table and made a "bang" sound, and the four big boys also began to breathe heavily.
"All these are information?" Xu Zhengping stood up.
"Not only these, there are four boxes, we'll move it now." He Quangui said and went out.
Eight large boxes, a table is naturally unavailable.
In the end, Xu Zhengping asked them to pile it behind his chair.
"It's all information?" Xu Zhengping has seen a lot of information, but he has never seen it before.
At the very least, others won't waste so much copy paper and print paper.
He Quangui went to Huarui Laboratory and knew Yang Rui's style of doing things. He smiled and said, "It's all information, some are journals, and some are copied and printed. You are free later. Please call Yang Rui and he will explain it in detail."
Xu Zhengping slowly opened the box, and it was indeed full of books, journals and copies.
"This is too wasteful." Another associate professor in the same office came over and picked up a bound copy to see. Although it was copied on both sides, the white paper was used once, which was not very consistent with the Chinese way of thinking.
"Call to Professor Tang's laboratory?" Xu Zhengping didn't bother to read these materials, so he first looked for the extension number on the notebook on his desk.
He Quangui nodded and said yes, waiting next to him.
The phone rang in a while. Xu Zhengping heard Yang Rui's voice and asked, "How many days will you give me these information?"
"The information is for you to refer to. When do you think you have a good idea and start? For the project team, I can organize it within five days. This project is more troublesome than the last time. You have to contact the University of Tokyo. You have to worry more about it." Because it is an insider, Yang Rui's voice is quite clear.
Xu Zhengping looked at the eight big boxes, was silent for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll finish watching them within five days."
"Okay, then let's plan to start the project next week first. Please be more at ease. We have other projects." Yang Rui said and laughed.
Xu Zhengping didn't laugh, hummed twice, and said, "If you can plan your next project, I can do it even after boiling oil."
After finishing one project, do another project. This kind of story sounds smooth and normal. Only those in the game know how difficult it is.
Using examples that everyone is familiar with, doing projects is like preparing for exams, and it is a model of studying and taking exams while studying. After completing one project, you will do another project, which is equivalent to starting the exam on the first day of school, and then taking one exam a week or a month, and taking another exam after one exam.
Constantly overdrawing energy and physical strength is one thing, but learning and preparation before the exam is another thing.
Just like the new project that Yang Rui prepared for Xu Zhengping, before starting, Xu Zhengping, as the actual executor of the project, must first understand relevant research at home and abroad.
Eight large boxes and millions of words of information are the intellectual achievements of hundreds of researchers. If you don’t look at other people’s research, would you study it again in your life?
Although these materials are not as awkward as textbooks, there are quite a lot of new things in them.
Normally, in order to prepare a project, reading materials one or two months in advance is considered to be small.
Xu Zhengping said that it was completed in five days of reading, which was a big sale of vomiting blood, and he was too excited.
Moreover, Yang Rui completed his main work, which was also a stimulation to him.
As the project leader, Yang Rui can take away a tie-ranked first author because he shoulders the greatest responsibility and finds research directions.
It seems easy to find a project using an outsider's mindset. Indeed, there are many high-end projects, and landing on Mars is an obvious, valuable and meaningful project. However, such projects have no practical connection with Yang Rui and others.
Normal scientific research is just a little bit.
It seems that when studying triangles, you must first study special equilateral right triangles, then study relatively special right triangles, followed by alternative special regular triangles, and relatively special equilateral triangles... If anyone wants to prove Moly's theorem, this is a personal choice, and you can play for a lifetime. However, if you have not even studied equilateral right triangles, there is no way to talk about the beauty and difficulty of proving Moly's theorem.
Of course, it is not even normal to know how to study triangles and know whether to study equilateral right-angle triangles or happiness.
There are many things worth and need to be studied in the world, but if landing on Mars doesn't count, there is not much left.
Many researchers think about this question every day, or they have to think about it, and when there is no project, good ideas may pop up like a blowout.
However, whether the imagined "good" is really good still needs to be verified.
If it is in the 21st century, it is relatively simple to search for document databases, but the results are usually relatively simple. Generally speaking, 99% of good ideas are either done by others or found that they cannot be done.
The reasons why I can't do it are all kinds of strange. For example, there are side arguments that this idea is bad; for example, there are side arguments that I fucked a similar experiment and spent 100,000; for example, there are side arguments that this set of experiments is difficult to infect dysmenorrhea...
Occasionally, some good ideas will prove to be really good.
For example, the founder of PCR, Murris, whose vision of using polymerase chain reaction was believed by many colleagues to not be able to achieve the result, otherwise his predecessors would have done it.
As a result, it is indeed done, and my predecessors have never done it.
So, Muris won the Nobel Prize that everyone dreamed of.
There are also unlucky people. Lagrangian, who abused college students thousands of times, was eighteen years old, that is, the year when an ordinary Chinese student was in his freshman year, and used the Newtonian binomial theorem to solve the problem of advanced micro-businesses of the product of two functions. He also wrote a paper in Latin and sent it to Euler.
Not long after, Lagrangian received a reply: The research you did was completed by Leibniz half a century ago. It would be useless to not check the information before writing your paper.
So, when Lagrangie was 18 years old, there was one thing that was the same as 18-year-old Chinese college students. They all faced the sky and shouted loudly: Go to your mother Leibniz!
Xu Zhengping didn't want to scold his mother, so every time he started a project, he spent a lot of time and consulted a lot of information.
Now, this work has been completed by Yang Rui, and the time saved by Xu Zhengping is not a little bit.
Although the laboratory owner did this job, Xu Zhengping was a little confused about whether Yang Rui could do it well.
"Just find the answer from the information." Xu Zhengping looked down at the eight big boxes, and was also full of energy.
Chapter completed!
