Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"At this point, we officially announce that we have discovered the world's first two-dimensional structure material. This result has been published by the world's Science magazine and became the cover paper of this issue." Wang Xu was serious in his position as the keynote speaker He preached, and the last thing displayed was the "Science" magazine where the paper was published.

This manuscript was written a long time ago, and it introduces the process and principles of graphene discovery. Later, it was polished by many parties, not only from the department, but also from the ministry, in order to make it as easy to understand as possible and suitable for all ages.

But looking at the confused reporters in the audience, Wang Xu still felt a little dizzy. How can I put it in terms of scientific literacy in this era? Why is everyone playing with literature and art? It’s because they don’t understand science.

It's like every time the college entrance examination papers are released on the Internet in later generations, the Chinese test papers are the most popular. Without him, there are no others.

Graphene is simple enough from structure to discovery principle, but even with such simple scientific content, countless people still cannot understand it at all. After all, it involves the atomic level.

Wang Xu still remembers that in his previous life, when an uncle in the alley next door exploded the first mass murder weapon in the country, he published an article in Science Tabloid to popularize the principles of atomic bomb explosions. Then the tabloid was shut down for three months and the uncle was almost caught as a spy.

Although decades have passed, in these decades people have learned about machines, electric lights, telegraphs, trains, and automobiles. This is already the result of universal literacy and universal education.

However, this kind of education has not been able to spread to deeper areas, and literacy is still one of the important tasks at the grassroots level.

Nine-year compulsory education was only officially implemented a few years ago, but it can only be implemented in cities at most. In the 1990s, not many children in rural areas could continue to go to school. Like Tang Yun, there are few children who dropped out of junior high school.

Therefore, as long as anything involves the curriculum after junior high school, it is something that only a few elites can understand in society. For example, graphene.

The flash flashed for a while, and Wang Xu felt a little dazzled. But he still maintained good self-cultivation, smiled and held a copy of "Science" magazine, and accepted photos from major media. Then, at the reporter's signal, he raised "Science" to shoulder height and came with a picture and Magazine photo.

Then the main participants in the project were introduced, and they also took a group photo holding the "Science" magazine, and then everyone took their seats. Hearing that Teacher Yan had announced the start of the question-and-answer session, Wang Xu continued to sit upright with a serious face. After the initial excitement passed, he now felt a little bored.

"I would like to ask whether this achievement was completed independently by Chinese scientists, or whether there was the participation of international scholars or international funds."

The first person to ask questions was Xinxia News Agency. This was the rule. This was the authoritative organization that truly released information to the outside world in China at that time. Their articles would appear in the most important national newspapers and magazines.

Xinxia News Agency, Tass News Agency, Ugly News Agency, Agence France-Presse, and Reuters are the institutions that the young people in this era who love to read newspapers are most familiar with. In the Internet age, people have forgotten the prestige of these authoritative news agencies, but Wang Xu misses them very much.

After all, the things published by these news agencies are basically reliable. Although the opinions may be biased, the things are mostly true. Looking at several companies, the general story of the matter can still be seen.

"Yes, this project is a plan proposed by Wang Xu, an outstanding undergraduate student in the Department of Automation.

Under the guidance of professors from the Department of Automation and the Department of Materials, using the equipment of the Condensed Matter Laboratory of the Department of Materials, it was verified by Professor Duan and his doctoral student Zhang Hongyu.

From beginning to end, it was completed by teachers and students of our school, and the funds were provided by the two departments. There was no participation of any international funds, and there was no international cooperation. "

The person who answered the question was the vice-principal. His face was red, he took the initiative to take the microphone, and gave the most affirmative answer sonorously. In fact, Wang Xu had already discussed it with the department and school.

The funding for this research comes from the Department of Automation and Materials. After all, the biggest cake has been eaten by myself. The project initiator and the first author of the paper are Wang Xu.

There is no corresponding author, Professor Duan is a second author, and Senior Brother Liu is a third author. I picked up the second and third authors of an article in "Science" almost for nothing. These two people have no opinions.

What else could Wang Xu do? He had to save some face for the department. This thing is not patented, so there is nothing wrong with leaving some reputation to the department. Now that the department's reputation has improved, it will be easier to fool the new junior student Liang Cai in the future.

"I am a reporter from China Television. I would like to ask you what level this achievement is in the world." A very handsome young reporter stood up and asked. He looked familiar. Isn't this Shui Junyi?

It was actually him who came. Last year, this guy went to the battlefields in the Gulf region to cover interviews. He was often seen on TV. It can be said that he was very famous and could be called the number one reporter. I didn't expect that he was actually sent here.

"This is a very groundbreaking result, which can be said to open the door to a new field.

It has contributed a new system of materials to the world, and also provided a new sample for condensed matter physics.

This achievement can be said to be the world's top discovery and one of the most important discoveries in the world in recent decades. "

Professor Bian took the microphone and also gave a very positive answer. In fact, the Department of Materials originally thought that an academician should be brought in to take charge, just to answer questions like this evaluation.

But after careful consideration, I decided to forget it. Everyone in the materials department knew how important this thing was, and there would be no problem if anyone said this. If others really don't recognize this kind of evaluation, it will still be the same when the academician comes, so it's better to save some trump cards and start a verbal war later.

"I am a reporter from Science and Technology Daily, may I ask..."

Several questions were asked in newspapers with the national prefix, and the questions asked were quite satisfactory. Basically, they had been communicated in advance. Wang Xu did not speak again. Anyway, several professors were boasting.

At this time, a somewhat thin reporter raised his hand and was clicked by the host Professor Yan. The man stood up and said sincerely:

"I am a reporter from Southern Weekly. Professor Duan just said that this research has cost millions of dollars, and the result is only one paper.

It will take many years of research to be put into practical use, during which time it will cost even more money.

We must know that there are still one billion people living in dire straits, even without enough clothes and food to eat.

I would like to ask what significance does such research results that waste people and money have on improving the quality of life of our people?

Why not use such funds to conduct research more relevant to people's livelihood? "

Hearing this familiar question, Wang Xu sniffed. Why did he smell a strong smell of scum?
