Genius of the Rules-Style System

The department responsible for approving projects in Science and Technology is very serious in its work. The principle is that no matter who it is for or what kind of project it is, it needs to be strictly reviewed.

Every funding investment is spent on financial allocations, and many approved projects have no output to put it bluntly.

The lack of output in project research and development is related to the ability of scientific researchers, the difficulty of the project, and the project itself, because the research on some projects is meaningless in itself.

No matter what the situation of the project is, the project approval department of the Science and Technology Department must strictly control it, and there are fixed review processes for different types of projects.

For example, divided by application funds.

Generally speaking, the funding for research projects applied by individual researchers does not exceed one million yuan.

If the funding applied for reaches several million yuan, relevant scientific research institutions will need to apply. Projects worth tens of millions of yuan must undergo strict review. The mechanism requires layers of application and approval, and a special review team needs to be dispatched. Go investigate.

When the project funding applied for exceeds 100 million, there is actually no need for the Science and Technology Department.

This kind of project is generally at the national strategic level and is approved by the top leaders at a meeting. The highest-ranking minister in the Science and Technology Department does not have the right to directly approve it.

Therefore, Liu Zecheng shook his head helplessly when he knew that the initial funding for the project Zhao Yi applied for was as high as 200 million yuan, and that he would continue to invest in it in the future, with a total funding of one billion yuan, because he did not have the right to directly approve it.

In fact, similar projects do not follow the normal application process. Instead, they first find a large number of scholars in related fields, organize them together to demonstrate the project, and finally apply to higher-level departments in the name of a group or scientific research institution.

The superior department will also send a special team to review and a group of experts to comprehensively consider the project itself from all angles.

Zhao Yi applied directly to the Science and Technology Department, but there was something wrong with the process.

Of course, special things need special treatment.

Liu Zecheng immediately decided to go to Yanhua University. At ten o'clock in the morning, he was already standing at the door of the School of Science.

This time he came very secretly. He only brought an assistant and drove here by himself. No one else knew that he was coming.

Liu Zecheng had been to Yanhua University several times and knew Zhao Yi's office in the School of Science, but he didn't find anyone in the office.

There was a teacher in his early thirties named Meng Lei. He asked doubtfully, "This...who are you looking for?"

"Is Zhao Yi here?"

"Academician Zhao?"

Meng Lei glanced at Liu Zecheng in surprise, somewhat confused about the situation, but said, "He's not here. Look, there are no guards. If Academician Zhao is here, there must be guards at the door."

"That's it."

Liu Zecheng smiled and said, "Zhao Yi still attaches great importance to safety issues. This is a good thing."

Meng Lei felt that the other party looked like a big shot, so he simply said, "How about you go to the big office next door and ask? Professor Zhou Li and Hu Zhibin are both here. They are very familiar with Academician Zhao."

"Okay, thank you."

After Liu Zecheng said politely, he went to the large office next to him. A shout of "Please come in" came from inside. He opened the door and walked in normally, immediately attracting the attention of a lot of people.

The big office suddenly became quiet.

Zhou Liman looked at the door in surprise. He was stunned for a moment before reacting. He quickly stood up and walked over, "Minister Liu? Why are you here suddenly?"

"Minister Liu?"

"It's really Vice Minister Liu! The Deputy Minister of the Science and Technology Department! If you build a good relationship with him, you won't be afraid that the mathematics research project you apply for will not be approved!"

"Really? I applied for 30,000 yuan this time!"

The last voice came from Hu Zhibin.

"Only thirty thousand..."

A few whispered discussions did not escape Liu Zecheng's ears. He looked at Hu Zhibin who was discussing the funds, his eyes full of sympathy.

Thirty thousand funds...

This small amount of funds is really only enough to buy manuscript paper and magazines for mathematicians. It can support attending one or two academic conferences at most, and then it is almost gone.

"It's really hard to study mathematics!"

Liu Zecheng sighed in his heart and quickly asked about the business, "Professor Zhou, do you know where Zhao Yi is?"

Zhou Li nodded and said, "Zhao Yi has gone back. I heard he said he was going to check out the newly bought villa, which is just north of the capital, over the ring line!"

Liu Zecheng knew that in that area, many wealthy businessmen, celebrities and other wealthy people bought large villas to live there.

Zhou Li asked, "Can I ask, who are you looking for Zhao Yi...?"

Liu Zecheng thought for a while and said, "There's nothing I can't say. And I want to ask you, what has Zhao Yi been researching recently?"

"Anti-gravity!"

Hu Zhibin was the first to say, "The whole school knows about his anti-gravity research, no, the entire Weibo...Online, anyway, many people know that he hopes to make people levitate, but I think it is a dream."

Zhou Li nodded and said, "I heard Professor Gao Yihua, who participated in the superconducting antigravity experiment, say that Zhao Yi has made some small progress in the mathematical theory of antigravity."

"Although the results are small, they are still very impressive!" Hu Zhibin sighed, "I think even small progress in this field is very, very amazing."

"That's true."

Zhou Li and Hu Zhibin sang in harmony, which made Liu Zecheng a little confused. He asked with a strange expression, "Do you know the password of the gods?"

"What?"

"What the hell?"

"God's password!"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and looked at Liu Zecheng, "You won't start to believe in religion, will you? Give back the password of the gods..."

Hu Zhibin said, "Maybe it's a TV series? Is it the latest one? "The Code of the Gods", the name sounds like a good drama! From country M? From Europe?"

"..."

Liu Zecheng shook his head depressedly, "So you don't know what progress Zhao Yi's research has made? Or what results have it produced?"

"have no idea."

"I just heard from Gao Yihua that there is a little progress."

"a little?"

Liu Zecheng grinned, looked at Hu Zhibin, patted his shoulder and said, "Teacher, you must be rigorous in what you say and do in the future. As a mathematics professor and doing mathematics research, you need to be even more rigorous."

"Why do you always worry about project funding? Is it just theoretical mathematics research? You are not rigorous in what you say and do. Who can believe that you can complete rigorous mathematical theoretical demonstrations?"

After Liu Zecheng finished speaking, he walked out of the office.

Hu Zhibin was stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to ask Xiang Zhou Li, "What did Vice Minister Liu mean by his last words?"

"It means you are not rigorous."

"I'm not strict? Why?"

Zhou Li said matter-of-factly, "Does this need to be said? He is saying that you don't even know what progress Zhao Yi has made, and that what he has accomplished is only a small achievement. Let me see, it must be a big achievement, and it is very powerful, otherwise Why did Minister Liu go there alone?"

Hu Zhibin said depressedly, "But... you said that too?"

"Yeah, I said it."

Zhou Li nodded and admitted, "But I haven't applied for a project recently? The Science and Technology Department can't control me. I can say whatever I want. You are different." He sighed and patted Hu Zhibin on the shoulder, "So, let's talk later You must be rigorous in what you do!”

"Anyway, it means that my application seems to be out of the question? Right?" Hu Zhibin grasped the key point.

"Maybe?" Zhou Li was not sure, "Minister Liu shouldn't pay special attention to the small project you applied for, right?"

"Right."

Hu Zhibin nodded in approval, "But it's definitely not a good thing to leave a bad impression on him, right..." He took a deep breath, and his calm expression suddenly turned into anger, "I understand, it's all Gao Yihua! "

"This guy tricked me because he said 'small progress' first, and we all believed it!"

"He tricked us all!"

Soon the office turned into a collective denunciation against Gao Yihua.

…

the other side.

After two hours of driving, Liu Zecheng finally found Zhao Yi's newly purchased suburban villa.

This neighborhood is a villa area for wealthy people. Each house is very large and has its own garden and swimming pool. The large residences are quiet and comfortable, making them suitable for staying for a while during the holidays.

Zhao Yi bought a new villa to live in, mainly because he is so famous that it is inconvenient to live in ordinary houses outside the school.

One is that he is always disturbed. When he is recognized on the street, he seems to be a celebrity. People will follow him to take pictures, and his home address has been made public. There are always people wandering around the community, and there is no way to stay quiet. Come down.

The second consideration is safety. In ordinary residential buildings, where people are mixed, safety is a big problem.

Finally, there are life considerations.

For example, there are usually several guards following him. He lives in an ordinary residential building, and the guards have to stay at the door. Even if someone comes to change shifts, it must be very hard.

If it is in a residence in a villa area, because there are many rooms, the guards can take turns to rest, and the working environment will be much better.

etc.

Zhao Yi decided to buy a big house to live in, and when he had free time, he would come and stay for a few days.

Now is the free time.

Research in all aspects is in the accumulation stage, such as War Eagle-1 prototype manufacturing, biological laboratory research, including engine testing, etc., etc., all of which will take a long time to complete or make progress, while anti-gravity research continues. You need real experimental help, and experiments require large financial investments.

In fact, funding is only one aspect, because anti-gravity research requires demonstration by higher-level departments. Even if he spends his own money to do research, he still needs approval from higher-level departments, because it may involve issues such as national defense and security, and You can't just make experimental equipment if you want to.

Therefore, the research on anti-gravity also needs to wait slowly.

Zhao Yi simply came to the villa to stay for a few days, and he also called Lin Xiaoqing. It was rare for the two of them to live together, and they seemed very sweet.

He originally planned to stay for a few days and then return to Yanhua University to have a look, but instead he waited for Liu Zecheng who had been traveling all the way.

It was noon when Liu Zecheng arrived.

Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing cooked the food with their own hands, and just as they were about to start eating, the guards came to report that Liu Zecheng was here. They welcomed Liu Zecheng in, "Minister Liu? It's a coincidence that you are here. Come and eat together!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Liu Zecheng walked in with a smile, looked at the simple dishes on the table, and said, "You cooked it yourself? It's really difficult to eat dishes cooked by Academician Zhao himself."

"I'm not good at cooking!"

Zhao Yi said modestly, in fact, his cooking skills are very good, because he has the systematic ability at hand, and he can also assist in cooking. If he can control the details well, the taste will not be bad.

Liu Zecheng took a sip and exclaimed, "It's better than the chef! Are you too humble? Have you learned from it?"

"Graduate Lanxiang!"

"Haha~~~"

The two chatted and laughed and got into the topic, and Liu Zecheng asked about the 'god's password'.

"That's just a name. Those columns are very strange and have something to do with spatial analysis."

Zhao Yi explained seriously, "Those are the formulas I summarized from the superconducting antigravity experiment, and I am preparing to do research on those formulas."

"To be precise, it is not a spatial analysis, but a mathematical analysis of the space blocked by the tangential shape. Maybe there are many forms of space, and the tangential plane is just one of them, but because superconducting antigravity is the blocking method of the tangential shape, so I can only come up with these equations.”

"There are eighty-one formulas in total, and each formula is a connection point. As long as one formula is met, it can produce the effect of blocking space, which is an anti-gravity effect."

"If it can meet all the columns, that is, connect all the contact points together, the space can be completely blocked."

"The simple explanation is to block the transmission of gravitational waves."

"..."

Zhao Yi said a lot in succession, which made Liu Zecheng's head spin.

If the person sitting across from him was not Zhao Yi, he would definitely think that the other party was deceiving him. What blocks the transmission of gravitational waves, what kind of cross-section shapes block space, all sound like fantasy. Maybe there will be similar high technologies in the future, but Is it too early to talk now?

Finally, Liu Zecheng walked away in a daze.

He didn't understand it until the end, and he only knew briefly that Zhao Yi wanted to study other methods of anti-gravity. When he thought about it carefully, he found that he didn't seem to know much more than before he came here.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Zecheng returned to the Science and Technology Department and quickly processed the day's backlog of work. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the research must be kept confidential.

If those equations are true, they must be the results that need to be kept secret the most.

They must do very in-depth research on those equations. Maybe they can study some high-tech things?

Liu Zecheng's eyes lit up.

After clarifying his thoughts, he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to judge the authenticity of the formula.

certainly.

In fact, it's just a process. Liu Zecheng completely believes in Zhao Yi, but he can't make a decision by himself. He must report to the top leadership. When reporting, it is impossible to say "I believe Zhao Yi". There must be something that can be done. thing.

For example, the approval of the expert group.

"Yes, a group of experts should be formed to study the following equations. Even if other people understand it, it will be enough to explain the problem."

After Liu Zecheng thought carefully about it, he immediately started to form an expert group and called several highly respected academicians in mathematics and physics. Each of them was an old academician who could be absolutely trusted and had made significant contributions to the development of national science and technology.

Three days later, five old academicians gathered in the special reception room of the Science and Technology Department. They didn't know what they were going to do, but they just knew that they were studying a mathematical problem that Zhao Yi had come up with.

Liu Zecheng was still busy with other work, so he asked his assistant to take a column and show it to the senior academicians to see if they could understand it.

Among the several old academicians, there is also the youngest one named Wang Honghe, who is the top mathematical structure expert and information science expert in the country. He has made significant contributions to the development of the national aviation industry.

Wang Honghe is also sixty-five years old, but he must be working at the forefront of scientific research, and he is also very prestigious among several old academicians.

Several old academicians analyzed and studied the column formula together.

Wang Honghe is an expert in mathematical construction, good at transforming mathematical problems, and has a strong say in his profession. After careful study, other senior academicians were confused and couldn't understand what it was.

Wang Honghe couldn't understand it either, but he still analyzed it carefully, "This should be a narrative expression, which involves topological expressions and three-dimensional functions."

"I think it may be an analytical expression of multi-dimensional space."

Wang Honghe's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he said to other old academicians, "It must be so. Zhao Yi has been studying theoretical physics. He is working with the string theory expert from Country M, Edward Witten."

"They must have produced another theoretical result. Doesn't superstring theory describe multi-dimensional space?"

"This must be an expression of multi-dimensional space..."

The other senior academicians nodded and said, "Yes, it should be."

"Theoretical physics is so profound. However, what exactly is the expression of multi-dimensional space studied? If there is no connection with things in reality, it is impossible for us to get together to study it, right?"

"Isn't that simple? Multi-dimensional space, what is it that can connect to reality? Black hole!"

"Yes, black hole!"

"I guess Zhao Yi is studying black holes. This may be an expression of black holes. Maybe through this formula, we can explain some unexplainable phenomena in the universe."

"So, the country is preparing to invest heavily in astronomy-related exploration?"

"Of course, don't you know? We have been building the largest astronomical telescope..."

"Yes, that should be it."

"..."
