Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 264: Executive Vice Principal?

Recently, a lot of things have happened internationally.

For example, on May 17, the day Qin Yuanqing officially completed his thesis, two air crashes occurred, killing hundreds of people, which cast a shadow over aviation this year. There were many more aviation disasters this year than in previous years. Many people went out and even Flying is no longer an option.

But there is no doubt that none of these international events can compare with the influence of Qin Yuanqing's five papers.

After all, this kind of death seems cruel, but the truth is that people die every day in the Middle East and North Africa, so the world is not peaceful, and dead people are not rare. It suddenly attracted attention in China, just because everyone was so well protected, thinking that they were born in a peaceful era, but they did not know that they were not born in a peaceful era, but lived in a peaceful country, and there were people who carried the burden for him. That’s it!

Qin Yuanqing has a rare leisure time. In addition to commuting to get off work on time every day, he is also in a very good mood when he is at work. During class, he does not go into deep water when talking like he did some time ago, or suddenly lose his temper. He got up and caught everyone and started to yell at each other until everyone had nothing to say and could only draw circles in the corner and reflect on themselves.

Everyone already worshiped Qin Yuanqing to the extreme, and now they directly respect him as a god. Many people directly paste small photos of Qin Yuanqing on the globes on their desks to suppress evil and ward off evil!

Principal Chen brought a group of people to the Automotive Research Institute. They were all very excited. Some of them were studying mathematics and some were studying physics. Their faces were usually indifferent and calm, but at this moment, they were very excited. Exciting to know.

They talked to each other and asked him a lot of questions. Especially the physicists, one question after another.

no way!

The status of Yang Mills' theory in the world of physics is much higher than its status in the world of mathematics.

Perhaps for the latter, it is just a difficult partial differential equation, but for the former, it means the first step towards a grand unified theory, a veritable Holy Grail of modern theoretical physics.

In this way, Yang Mills' theory is one of the seven major problems of the millennium in mathematics. Solving it will undoubtedly win the Fields Medal, but just a Fields Medal does not give the prover a far superior position than other Phil. The academic status of the Ertz Prize in mathematics is the position of the world's top mathematician. However, we must know that in any era, there is never a shortage of the world's top mathematicians.

But it’s different in the world of physics. If you solve Yang Mills’ theory, you can be said to be the greatest physicist in the 21st world. Unless there are figures like Newton or Einstein in the future, Qin Yuanqing’s light will not be able to cover him up. , by solving the Yang Mills theory and the unified theory of strong electricity, Qin Yuanqing rose from an undistinguished figure in the world of physics to a theoretical physics master comparable to Mr. Yang. At this time, it was not that Qin Yuanqing was honored to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, but that the Nobel Prize in Physics was honored because Qin Yuanqing won the prize.

It can be said that not long after the 21st century has just begun, other physics circles have to look up to Qin Yuanqing, and Qin Yuanqing will also support many physicists.

Since entering the 21st century, except for the discovery of some particles that have long been predicted and the verification of several puzzle pieces of the Standard Model, "new things" have not been born in this field for too long.

What's more, such great achievements were made by Chinese people.

Qin Yuanqing really couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm. As for the questions, he would wait until the report meeting. At this time, he would answer this question and that question. Maybe a professor from the school next door would come over to ask for advice in two days. Then he would have to do it all over again. .

It doesn't bother others, but Qin Yuanqing does.

However, Qin Yuanqing still has an additional title on his head, that is, the honorary dean of the Institute for Advanced Study of Shuimu University.

"Academician Qin, you quietly created such a big satellite, but you caught me off guard!" President Chen did not leave with a group of professors, but stayed and said with a wry smile: "Next time if there is any big move, please come back Say hello to the school, I took over a thousand calls that day!”

Thinking back to the day of May 17, one phone call after another, it was either the president of a certain university, a famous mathematician, or a famous physicist. He had to be polite to each one and not lose his temper.

He really couldn't bear it. Qin Yuanqing was zooming in on the satellite from time to time. Although it was an honor, his heart couldn't bear it. Principal Chen even felt that if he continued like this, he would die young!

"Principal Chen, there is nothing we can do. Sometimes inspiration comes and you can't stop it!" Qin Yuanqing said embarrassedly.

He didn't dare to say that he had already finished the first two papers and could have published them one by one. Otherwise, Principal Chen would probably be angry to death.

"Academician Qin, let's go for a walk together~~" Principal Chen said.

"Okay, I haven't chatted with you for a long time, principal!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

The two left the office together, and then walked underneath, talking and discussing some things about the school.

To be honest, Qin Yuanqing feels a little guilty when it comes to school affairs, because although he has the title of vice president on his head, except for the two research institutes, he is not very involved in other matters, especially during this period of time, he is devoted to studying Yang... Mills' theory was that he didn't even attend school meetings and simply asked the vice-dean to go on his behalf.

"Yesterday the organization came to talk to me and asked me if I had any ideas to transfer my work and go to the environmental protection department to take charge of the work. I thought about it and replied to the organization that Shuimu is currently at a very critical moment. I am a little worried about leaving now!" Principal Chen suddenly said Talk about yourself.

Qin Yuanqing was a little confused, why are you telling yourself this? You must know that he is not very involved in school affairs, and this kind of organizational conversation is obviously a promotion, which is a good thing for Principal Chen personally.

Principal Chen is 50 years old this year. Taking this step can be said to have a bright future!

"In the past, I have always suggested increasing the intensity of school reform and accelerating the pace of reform. Shuimu has its own historical mission. I am very sad to face the loss of talents. However, the resistance to reform is great and the pace is very slow!" Principal Chen said : "With your support, Academician Qin, in the past few years, the school's reform power has greatly increased and achieved fruitful results. I think that in another 2 to 3 years, the situation will be greatly improved!"

"So far this year, more than 100 professors have been recalled from abroad. Last year, more than 70 faculty and staff were dismissed due to assessments. Everyone's efforts have also increased!" President Chen said: "This year's school funding has increased a lot, reaching 12.2 billion. Many things that I didn’t dare to think about before can now be thought about and done!”

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly.

This year, Shuimu’s scientific research funding has reached 12.2 billion, which is the first time that its scientific research funding has exceeded 10 billion. Including the self-raised portion, the scientific research funding has exceeded 20 billion. It can be said to be the richest among Huaxia universities. Yan A large part of the quilt fell down.

With enough money, many things can be done, such as repairing some historic buildings, upgrading school libraries, upgrading computer rooms, experimental instruments, etc., including recruiting world-class people today. Talented people teach and improve the salary of faculty and staff.

Many people criticize Shuimu for losing talent and being unable to retain talent, but the fact is that there is not enough money. With 15,000 faculty and staff, an average of 10,000 per month plus five insurances and one housing fund will cost 4 billion that year. .

Shuimu University is not a private enterprise. It only pays five social insurances and one housing fund according to the minimum wage stipulated by the government. It is a real payment. The faculty and staff receive 10,000, which means there is another 10,000 behind.

But to be honest, this kind of salary level is completely uncompetitive. After all, if you stay in the United States, an associate professor will cost you US$50,000-100,000, and a full professor will cost you US$100,000-150,000. The difference is several times. Some powerful professors can even get millions of dollars, and the gap is even greater.

In Chinese universities, the salary system is basically paid by the finance. The salary system is still 10 years ago. There are differences in academic status between associate professors and professors, but the salary difference is not big. The salary difference between top professors and ordinary professors is very small. The difference lies in scientific research. Bonus section. When top professors go to the United States, their salaries differ even ten to hundreds of times!

Therefore, we cannot always criticize colleges and universities for their inability to retain talents and the brain drain. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. This is an obvious truth.

Even our ancestors said that money can make ghosts push the mill, but ghosts without money will not open the door.

Therefore, if we fail to retain talents, we must also reflect on ourselves. We cannot just blame universities or talents.

This kind of thing needs to be analyzed from both sides and solved, instead of blaming. Blaming cannot solve the problem.

And now Shuimu's scientific research funding has increased significantly.

"Academician Qin, I plan to recommend you to the organization as the executive vice president. What do you think?" Principal Chen suddenly said.

Qin Yuanqing was startled.

The current executive vice president of Shuimu University is President Qiu. It can be said that his status is second only to the president. In the absence of the president, the executive vice president has the right to make decisions.

It stands to reason that with Principal Qiu's qualifications, it would be a natural thing for him to take over the reins of Shuimu after Principal Chen leaves.

"Principal Chen, isn't this appropriate!?" Qin Yuanqing shook his head: "President Qiu is now the executive vice principal. I am only 24 years old this year. I am still young. To reach my current position, I am already valued by the leadership. How can I What kind of executive vice president do you want to be?"

To be honest, the leaders put in a lot of effort to get him to the position of vice principal. And he has been protecting him all these years. Although Qin Yuanqing didn't ask, he knew it in his heart.

Otherwise, based on what he has done in the past few years, Shuimu would have already become a thorn in the eyes of others, and they would attack him in groups.

Don't underestimate this group of people. They may not be first-class in academics, but they are first-class in conspiracy and power. They often seize the moral high ground and say one thing after another. Sanctimonious is how to describe this group of people. of.

People who don't know what's going on are often deceived by them.
