Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"What are the plans for today?" Wang Xu shook the ashes from his head as he walked in, and did not forget to ask Director Jiang about today's schedule.

The yellow wind is blowing again. In the early 1990s, there was no smog in the imperial capital. Now the world is dominated by the yellow wind. However, it has only been two years, and now it is obvious that the yellow wind is not that frequent.

Wang Xu still remembers that when he was a child, when the yellow wind blew the strongest, the sun was always blue.

Later, when I went to high school and learned about spectroscopy, I realized that the yellow light was scattered by the yellow sand in the sky, which made the sun look blue. Well, the strange knowledge increased again.

Secretary Jiang is Professor Yan’s secretary. Administratively, she is in charge of the coordination office of the “supercomputing” project. In fact, she is doing secretarial work. This seems to be a common method used by people who cannot have a secretary. I don’t know which organization sent him. Anyway, he disappears one day a week.

Professor Yan and Wang Xu accepted it. It was much easier to have a secretary to arrange the itinerary and organize the information. Someone above them needed to be their eyes and ears, so the position of secretary was of course the best.

But who said that a deputy dean can be paired with a secretary? The dean of the department is not good enough. That is the treatment only for administrative staff.

Therefore, there is such a coordination office director. A few people had a drink together, and the personal relationship was still okay. It was not like in the movie that the agents sent in were always shrinking.

Director Jiang’s real name is Jiang Yu. When he first heard this name, Wang Xu thought it was a girl. He thought to himself that Lao Yan finally had a female secretary, but he didn’t expect to find out she was a boy until they met.

Jiang Yu looks like he is in his early thirties. A native of Xiang Province, he looks very fair and his hair is always meticulously taken care of. With a height of more than 1.7 meters, he looks a bit like a niche student.

Don’t think that 1.77 meters is very short. Male protagonists were generally 1.8 meters tall. This was in the second decade of the 21st century. In the early days of online novels, the average height of male protagonists was only 1.75 meters.

In the 1990s, the average height of 18-year-old men in northern provinces was only 1.7 meters, and nationwide it was only 1.68 meters, so the height of 1.7 meters in Hunan Province is really not short.

He is not married yet, which is quite rare in this era, but looking at his appearance, you can tell that there will be many girls chasing him, and Professor Yan will not be anxious about him anyway.

Director Jiang is a very qualified secretary with very organized arrangements. He is also a good computer typist and can type five words per minute at an amazing speed of 200 words per minute.

Professor Yan's office is quite big now, and Wang Xu actually has a desk here, but Wang Xu doesn't like working with his boss, so he applied for an independent one, which is right next door and is smaller than Professor Yan's. .

His original desk became Director Jiang's, and the computer and printer were also taken over by Director Jiang.

Seeing Wang Xu coming in shaking the sand, Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing. His secretary was not as serious as the administrative secretary. Instead, he joked with the bosses from time to time. He didn't look like a secretary at this moment. .

"There is an appraisal meeting in the Chemistry Department at ten o'clock today. You should wash your face first. Your face is already yellow."

Jiang Yu handed Wang Xu a wet towel and asked him to wipe his face. Wang Xu's face was covered with dirt. Now he was no longer a pretty boy, but a yellow face.

Wang Xu was not polite, reached out to take it, walked to the basin and washed his face carefully, then went to the water room to pour out the water in the basin. I put on a clean basin and rubbed the towel a few times before returning to the office feeling refreshed.

Today's appraisal meeting in the Department of Chemistry was not the main result given by Wang Xu, but a by-product of the experimental process. It was originally an experiment with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, but ended up with an intermediate product.

It is also a type of polyethylene fiber. Its molecular weight is not large enough and its strength is not high. But they feel that the basic properties of this fiber are okay. The key is that it is cheap enough and very easy to produce. It has been mass-produced abroad for a long time, but there is no large-scale preparation method in China.

They planned to appraise it, which was a small achievement and could fill a gap in the country, so they organized an appraisal meeting.

The popularization of this type of appraisal meeting for scientific and technological achievements only started in the 1980s. In 1986, the country issued a guideline on the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements, and universities only had this form of appraisal meeting.

Although Wang Xu is not familiar with this, he has actually participated in it many times. This form is okay now, because most of the scientific research results are actually at the domestic level. Being able to be rated as domestically first-class or domestically leading is a great achievement.

In addition, most scientific research institutes have little funding, so there are really not many research results that need to be appraised, so just find a few experts and professors to taste them and entertain them.

However, as China's scientific research funding continues to expand, various scientific and technological achievements continue to emerge. Especially after the implementation of Project 211, various universities need various scientific research achievements to decorate their appearance.

The appraisal meeting gradually changed its flavor. By the first decade of the 21st century, international leaders were everywhere, with all kinds of nonsense and random comments, and the credibility of appraisals continued to decline.

Later, around 2016, the country simply issued a document to cancel this appraisal meeting, and then re-planned and formulated a more scientific evaluation method of scientific and technological achievements.

However, this appraisal meeting model has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even many old professors are counting on this to make extra money. It would be very difficult to completely cancel it in a short period of time.

This is actually no wonder those experts. The key is that the document itself does not consider the issue of definition. It is just a guidance. There are no implementation details, tools and methods for implementation, and there are no supporting standards.

In this era, the term "filling the gap in the country" is often used. What exactly does it mean to fill the gap, but no one can give an accurate definition.

You say you are an international leader, but what is the definition of international leader? Who are you comparing with, why are you comparing with him, do you surpass him in one indicator, or in all indicators?

Anyway, there are too many loopholes that can be found here. After an appraisal, they have contributed money and effort. If you insist that their products are not world-leading, then why do you say that? You can't explain why you are ugly.

There is no unified definition or consistent standard, so what do different experts mean by international leadership?

This thing is very troublesome. Chou Country has actually had various experiences in this area for a long time. Wang Xu plans to chat with the expert group to see if he can make a fuss about this issue. After all, he already knows that the loophole will cause problems sooner or later. It's better to plug the hole as soon as possible.

Wang Xu was thinking as he rode his motorcycle towards the Chemistry Department. He didn't know if he would have to wash his face again when he got there. The wind, the sand, well, this song was not romantic at all.
