Rule department scholar

……

In the morning, the main building of the Science and Technology Department.

Deputy Minister Liu Zecheng is sitting leisurely in the office drinking tea. The morning is a rare time to relax. He always sets aside half an hour for himself to drink tea and relieve the pressure of work.

It's not easy to be a leader!

The leaders of the Science and Technology Department have to review various projects and make various decisions. Liu Zecheng is in charge of this aspect, and his work is very busy.

It’s okay if you just review projects normally, but the most worrying thing is to review those ‘incomprehensible projects’. He is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, an official of the government, not a top mathematician or chemist. When applying for a project, I always come to him for review.

but……

He can't understand it either!

Therefore, similar projects can only be based on feelings. The scientific research institutions and researchers who apply for the project are trustworthy, and they can naturally give a direct reply. Otherwise, they need to think carefully.

This is just a normal project.

Applications involving large-scale projects need to be carefully reviewed. Sometimes he has to go there in person to see and listen to the site before deciding whether to pass.

"Difficult!"

"It's hard to do anything, and it's not easy to be a leader." Liu Zecheng shook his head. What depressed him the most was that he was a scientific researcher, so many people in the Science and Technology Department thought he was omniscient, but in fact, he was more Others are not much stronger.

"Minister Liu! Minister Liu!"

Liu Zecheng's mood improved when the assistant shouted from outside. The assistant always called him 'Minister', which made him feel like he was the minister.

Although the level is not much different, it is really hard to say whether there is a chance to go up again in this life.

Liu Zecheng shook his head, waved his hands and shouted, "Come in!"

Then he frowned and reprimanded, "No, don't bother me in the morning!"

"Minister, I'm sorry, that's it." The assistant reported, "It's Academician Zhao's application, and it's a big project, and no one else can decide."

"Big project, how big?"

Liu Zecheng said indifferently, "Since it is a project applied by Academician Zhao, it will be approved directly if the funding does not exceed 1000 million."

"exceeded……"

"Exceeded? How much?" Liu Zecheng still didn't care. He thought that "tens of millions" was a small number, because it was Zhao Yi who applied.

"In advance, two hundred million."

"What?"

"In the early stage, [-] million funds, the project application said, there will be additional applications in the future, and the total budget may exceed one billion."

"puff!"

Liu Zecheng took a sip of tea and shouted, "How much did you say? One billion?"

"Yes."

The assistant nodded affirmatively.

Liu Zecheng grinned wryly, he was no longer able to decide on major projects that required so much money.

The Science and Technology Department is indeed the project funder, supporting research that is beneficial to the development of science and technology, but the Science and Technology Department is not a "tyrant". Every year, the project funds are allocated by the state as a whole, that is to say, research funds are limited.

Speaking of outside companies, it doesn't seem like a big deal to invest billions in R&D every year, but they only invest in research in a fixed field, and the Science and Technology Department is responsible for too many, so it can easily exceed tens of billions if you do any calculations. , and what they support are projects that are beneficial to the development of national science and technology and require subsidies, rather than research and development with commercial value. Project subsidy funds are 'unearned', and each project can be said to be a 'net cost'.

Major projects with a budget of more than [-] million yuan can be said to be national-level projects, and they must be reported to the highest level, that is, top-level leaders must make decisions.

After hearing the assistant's report, Liu Zecheng was not in the mood to continue drinking tea, so he hurried over to look at the project application.

Then, like everyone else...

Stunned!

"What is written in this application? Discovered the divine code to analyze the space?"

"It is necessary to study the code of the gods and manufacture large-scale equipment..."

"Anti-gravity device?"

"Photon research?"

"What's this all about!"

Liu Zecheng's eyes were full of confusion. He felt that he was not reading the project application, but a "cheat book" that introduced how to cultivate to become a god.

In the end he sighed, and decided to go to Yanhua University, talk to Zhao Yi face to face, and see the situation before talking.

Chapter 5 This must be the expression of a black hole!

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

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

Project research and development has no output, which is related to the ability of scientific researchers, the difficulty of the project, and the project itself, because the research of 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 check it, and there are fixed review procedures for different types of projects.

For example, by applying for funding.

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

If the application for funds reaches several million RMB, relevant scientific research institutions are required to apply. Projects with tens of millions of RMB must go through strict review. The mechanism requires layer-by-layer application and approval, and a special review team needs to be dispatched to investigate.

When applying for a project with a funding of more than [-] million yuan, in fact, there is no need for the Science and Technology Department.

This kind of project is generally at the national strategic level, and the top leaders hold a meeting for approval, and the minister with the highest position in the Science and Technology Department has no right to directly approve it.

So Liu Zecheng knew that the project Zhao Yi applied for had an initial funding of [-] million RMB, and he also said that he would continue to invest in the future, with a total funding of up to one billion RMB, so he shook his head helplessly, because he had no right to directly approve it.

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

The superior department will also send a special team to review and there will be an expert group to comprehensively consider the problems of the project itself from various angles.

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

Of course, special things should be treated specially.

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

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

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

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

"Is Zhao Yi there?"

"Academician Zhao?"

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

"That's it."

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

Meng Lei felt that the other party looked like a big shot, so he simply said, "Why don't you go to the big office next to it and ask? Zhou Li and Professor Hu Zhibin are both there, and they are very familiar with Academician Zhao."

"Okay, thank you."

After Liu Zecheng finished speaking politely, he went to the big office next to him. There was a shout of "please come in". He opened the door normally and walked in, which immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people.

The big office was suddenly quiet.

Zhou Li looked at the door in astonishment, he was taken aback for a moment before he realized it, and quickly stood up to meet him, "Minister Liu? Why are you here suddenly?"

"Minister Liu?"

"It's really Deputy Director Liu! The deputy director of the Science and Technology Department! If you have a good relationship with him, you won't be afraid of not being approved for the mathematics research project you applied for!"

"Really? I applied for [-] 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 were full of sympathy.

Thirty thousand expenses...

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

"It's really hard to study mathematics!"

Liu Zecheng felt emotional, 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 see the newly bought villa, which is just north of the capital, on the side of the ring road!"

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

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

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

"Anti-gravity!"

Hu Zhibin said first, "The whole school knows about his research on anti-gravity, no, it's the whole Weibo...On the Internet, anyway, many people know that he wants to make people float, but I think it's just a dream."

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

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

"This is true."

Zhou Li and Hu Zhibin sang together, which made Liu Zecheng a little dazed. He asked with a strange expression, "Do you know the code of the gods?"

"what?"

"What's the matter?"

"The code of the gods!"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and leaned over to look left and right at Liu Zecheng, "You won't start to believe in religion, will you? Return the code 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 TV series! It's from country M? It's from Europe?"

"..."

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

"do not know."

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

"a little?"

Liu Zecheng grinned, looked at Hu Zhibin, patted him on the shoulder and said, "This teacher, so you must be rigorous in speaking and doing things in the future. As a mathematics professor and doing mathematics research, you need to be more rigorous."

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

Liu Zecheng walked out of the office after speaking.

Hu Zhibin froze in place, and asked Zhou Li after a long time, "What did Vice Minister Liu mean by the last words?"

"That means you're not serious."

"I'm not rigorous? Why?"

Zhou Li said as a matter of course, "Does this need to be said? He said that you don't even know what progress Zhao Yi has made, and that what he has accomplished is only a small achievement. In my opinion, it must be a big achievement, and it is very powerful, otherwise Why did Minister Liu make the trip alone?"

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

"Yes, I said so."

Zhou Li nodded and admitted, "But I haven't applied for a project recently? The Science and Technology Department can't control me, so I can say anything. You are different." He sighed and patted Hu Zhibin's shoulder, "So, let's talk later You have to be serious about what you do!"

"Anyway, it means that my application seems to be dead? Right?" Hu Zhibin grasped the point.

"Maybe?" Zhou Li was not sure, "Mr. Liu probably won't pay special attention to the small project you applied for, right?"

"Right."

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

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

"He tricked us all!"

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