Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"It was unanimously agreed to fill the domestic gap, lead the country, and some indicators have reached the international advanced level." The leading professor solemnly announced the results of today's appraisal meeting.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and the appraisal meeting was completed. Appraisal meetings in these years were usually like this. A few teachers from our college were invited, and a few professors from other colleges were invited. If the results were relatively large, the superiors would find relevant professors to do it. Review.

Then the paper is handed over to these professors in advance, so that they can have an impression in advance. In fact, the evaluation of this project is almost already known.

After about a week, find a conference room and hang up a big banner. Everyone sits together and listens to the report of the project reporter like a defense meeting, and then asks a few symbolic questions, and it is considered passed.

Then, everyone has a good meal, drinks some wine, and sends a thank you to each professor, hello, me, hello everyone.

The point of occasional disagreement usually lies in the final evaluation. Domestic scientific research is still very weak at present. If you can achieve domestic first-class results, it is considered a good result. If you lead domestically, you will be able to win awards in the province. If you reach international standards, you will have the opportunity to impact the country. Awarded.

But everyone knows how to correct these words, and it generally depends on who said the evaluation words. In other words, the leader of your review meeting must have some weight, otherwise, no matter how high the evaluation is, it will be of little use.

The biggest problem with such a review is that subjective factors account for too much. It is difficult to objectively evaluate the true scientific and technological content of an achievement, and it is also difficult to assess how long it will take for this achievement to be practical.

It would be fine if they were just scientific research results, as long as they could publish papers anyway. The country did not really expect these results to be practical, but when it came to Wang Xu, they seemed to be somewhat inadequate.

The fundamental reason is that Wang Xu's projects here have a strong market purpose. The original intention of doing these studies is to face the market, whether he organizes production or transfers scientific and technological achievements.

The past few decades have been a planned economy, and scientific research has followed the pattern of the former Soviet Union. Basically, the state issues tasks and assigns them to the following scientists. After conducting research, the task issuer, that is, the official review.

After entering the reform and opening up, the tasks assigned by the government decreased year by year, and gradually transformed into the method of upward declaration. At this time, connections were far more important than strength, and funds were already low, so projects began to be concentrated on a few well-known professors. .

However, young teachers cannot engage in scientific research when they can produce the most results, and can only do auxiliary work beside well-known professors. For China, which is already in dire need of talents, this is a huge problem. waste.

China's annual investment in pure scientific research is quite limited, and more of its goals are application-oriented projects. In fact, these projects are similar to the problems Wang Xu feels now.

That is, it is difficult to evaluate the progress of research, and it is impossible to know exactly how advanced the research is. It is even impossible to judge whether the current research should continue. This is a shortcoming in project management and project evaluation.

Since launching two very large projects, Wang Xu has deeply felt that there are serious deficiencies in domestic project management methods. Although he has also talked about some project management content, to be precise, he is not an expert himself. A small team may be fine, but a big team really isn't.

He can only provide some small tools such as project decomposition and Gantt chart progress follow-up to provide some help in project management.

But the most important project progress evaluation has always been a problem. Fortunately, the project plan given by Wang Xu is detailed enough and directly aimed at the project goals. The road is straight and wide, and there will be almost no mistakes.

Therefore, so far, the project has been running quite smoothly. This has also given people, especially the young professors of Mizuki, the illusion that scientific research should be so smooth.

But this is not what Wang Xu wants to see. A project that goes too smoothly will make these scholars lack awe of the difficulty and become a bit ignorant and fearless.

Various bold ideas that dare to think and fight have been put forward. Recently, many secondary projects surrounding large projects have begun to show signs of this.

Wang Xu is not afraid of these bold ideas, but he is afraid of the counter-effects that will arise if these bold ideas cannot be implemented smoothly. It's okay to waste some money, but what I'm afraid of is that these young professors will be completely fooled by this kind of rashness.

After all, there are very few talents in the whole of China who have actually engaged in scientific research. Even in places like the Shuimudi University of Science and Technology, there are only a few people who can actually undertake research projects.

If this kind of rashness really interrupts the very good scientific research atmosphere in Shuimu, that would be the real sin.

Wang Xu also carefully reviewed the process of his own project. He found that he was still too radical. He always hoped that one project would bring about countless industries. This idea itself was somewhat unrealistic.

It is possible to engage in these projects, but the premise is that the research on tools needs to be carried out simultaneously. The tools here do not refer to pliers and screwdrivers, but to guiding basic research such as scientific tools, philosophical tools, and methodological tools.

"Student Wang Xu, please tell me. You have also heard about the results just now. The review is also over now. I see that you have been frowning. Let's talk about your opinions. What are the shortcomings? It’s better to improve as soon as possible.”

Professor Pang obviously also noticed Wang Xu, who had been frowning and thinking but said nothing, so he simply asked him to speak. Everyone knew that Wang Xu was a cornucopia, and a gold brick might fall out if he knocked it.

Wang Xu came back to his senses. He had indeed been thinking just now. After all, he was just here to observe the project in front of him. He mainly wanted to understand their discovery process, because this was another result full of coincidences. Research on high-performance I didn’t come up with it, but I came up with something very cheap.

This thing has really broad application prospects. If it continues to be developed, it can be used in clothing, home furnishings, ropes, and even mixed into concrete to increase its strength.

This thing has a wide range of applications and has been mass-produced abroad for a long time. It is not a product embargoed to China. As long as you have foreign exchange, you can buy as much as you want.

The biggest feature of the preparation method Mizuki discovered this time is that it is cheap, both in terms of raw materials and processing technology.

Wang Xu came to listen to their thoughts. The Chinese people always have all kinds of strange ideas in reducing costs, and from time to time they can produce some products at cabbage prices.

This cannot be achieved simply by relying on cheap labor. You have to say that labor-intensive industries rely on cheap labor, but most of the various chemical products produced in large quantities rely on large-scale industrial production, rather than simply stacking labor.

You have not seen that labor in Chou Country and Xiaoli is so expensive, but their chemical industry can still produce extremely cheap products.

This reflects the need for some special ideas and some special methods in scientific research, which is a valuable scientific research strength.

Therefore, Wang Xu really came here to learn from others this time, intending to learn from other people's ideas, but in the end he concluded that it was really a coincidence, which made him feel like he was in pain, so Then I got distracted and went to the evaluation system.
