Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 321 Campus Construction

On April 14, basketball superstar Kobe Bryant officially announced his retirement, bidding farewell to the league in which he had fought for 20 seasons. In his 20 seasons, he fought for the Lakers, helping the Lakers win 5 championships. He was the youngest person in NBA history to score 30,000 points. Mr., he became the league scoring champion twice, the Finals MVP twice, the league annual MVP once, was selected to the All-Star 15 times in a row, and won two Olympic gold medals. Of course, he was also crowned the number one Iron King in history on November 12, 2014. ', but this does not hinder his love for '6 billion fans around the world'.

He perfectly interpreted one man, one city, and declared the end of his career at the starting point of his career. He dedicated his entire career to his career, and used his great performance to become the soul of the Lakers in the past ten years. Iconic character!

His Black Mamba spirit has inspired countless people. He is a paranoid man with an incomparable desire for victory, and his will is great.

81 points in a single game, 61 points in three quarters, 62 consecutive games with 20+ points, 13 consecutive games with 35+ points, 9 consecutive games with 40+ points, 4 consecutive games with 50+ points, and a series of records that can be said to be unprecedented since the 21st century. The best shooting guard in the league, proving to the world that he is the best and greatest shooting guard in the league after Jordan.

Seeing the news reports that Kobe Bryant bid farewell to the league, Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, he was also one of the "6 billion" Komies, and he never watched the NBA again after Kobe retired. Then on January 26, 2020, Kobe Bryant died due to a helicopter accident. When he crashed and died, Qin Yuanqing couldn't believe it at all.

After being reborn in this life, I have been engaged in academic research and have stopped watching the NBA. Unexpectedly, the first news I saw was the news of Kobe Bryant's retirement.

I hope that in this life, Black Mamba can also change his destiny and not die young.

After leaving home and arriving at Shuimu University, Qin Yuanqing met up with President Chen and headed to the Shahe campus. The entire plot had turned into a huge construction site, and workers were working on it, turning the drawings into buildings.

The entire Shahe campus adopts the method of drawing out part of the construction drawings and constructing part of it, instead of waiting until all the construction drawings are completed before construction.

Moreover, faculty, staff and students from several colleges serve as technical personnel, not only responsible for survey work, but also design work. Every year, many people are at the construction site to participate in the construction of the project.

"Academician Qin, by the end of next year, our school will be able to move here one after another. In the future, this place will become the new development engine of Beijing and our new home of Shuimu. With such a big new campus, our Shuimu will be able to hit the number one spot in the world." With the qualifications of a university, why should MIT compete with us?" President Chen seemed to see that Shuimu University has become the number one university in the world, with not only China's top geniuses, but also geniuses from all fields around the world coming. Studying at Shuimu University, countless top scholars are proud to work at Shuimu University and are proud to be tenured professors at Shuimu University.

"Principal Chen, our Shuimu will definitely become the number one university in the world, and no one can stop us!" Qin Yuanqing said confidently.

Shuimu University has ranked first in the world in many engineering majors. Many majors that were previously weak are also ranked among the top five in the world. For example, mathematics and theoretical physics majors have reached the top three in the world. The computer major has ranked first in the world for three consecutive years. , more and more talented students come to study abroad at Shuimu University every year.

Many people say that no matter how well-built or beautiful the school is, it is of no use. In fact, this sentence is not correct, or not entirely correct, because being able to build a good and beautiful school is a display of strength. Having money means that you can spend money on research in various majors, so that your strength will naturally increase.

Look at whether China's famous universities have been continuously improving in the world rankings in the past decade or so, and whether more and more foreign students have come to study in China's famous universities. This is an improvement and display of power.

"It is Shuimu's blessing and honor to have you in Shuimu!" ​​Principal Chen said with emotion.

Since Qin Yuanqing joined Shuimu, he has single-handedly brought the mathematics major to the top three in the world. Then in terms of high-energy physics, Shuimu University's high-energy physics has recently been promoted to the second in the world. In addition, the automotive, engine, and mechanical majors are now ranked first in the world because of the two institutes.

Moreover, Shuimu University recruits seventy or eighty scholars every year, which has effectively strengthened Shuimu's strength, and its status in the academic circle is increasing day by day.

"According to the construction progress, the laboratory will be completed by the end of the year, and the experimental equipment and equipment can be moved into the laboratory by then. Also, the supercomputer center should be completed around the Spring Festival. This time, in order to apply for the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, we can No less effort." Qin Yuanqing said: "When other majors have improved, let's see which school dares to say that the science and engineering majors surpass our Shuimu!"

"Academician Qin is the only university in the country that can handle this matter!" Principal Chen said with a smile.

The Tianhe-2 supercomputer is the latest supercomputer achievement. If you want such a supercomputer, you don’t have to be rich at all.

Not to mention the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, none of the universities across the country has its own supercomputing center. However, once the new campus is completed, Shuimu University will have two supercomputing centers.

Regarding the supercomputing center, President Chen, as the principal of Shuimu University, naturally knows the best. It is simply a killer weapon. Isn’t the rapid development of Shuimu University’s disciplines due to its own supercomputing center. Moreover, part of the computing power is provided to technology companies in Zhongguancun, and the annual fees are quite considerable.

Of course, Principal Chen definitely did not compliment Qin Yuanqing, but told the truth, because Tianhe 2 could not be bought even if he had money.

Of course, except for Shuimu University, Hunan University, and Sun Yat-sen University, no other university currently has a supercomputing center. The supercomputing center of Yanda is still under construction, and Zhengzhou University has just announced that it will be built. It will not be completed until at least the year after next.

"The principal praised me, I am also a member of Shuimu!" ​​Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Not everyone can build this supercomputing center, because professional technical and management personnel basically need to have master's or doctorate degrees.

China's Internet is now becoming more and more powerful. A very important reason is that China's investment in supercomputing centers and cloud computing centers has provided conditions for China's huge computing needs and data services.

Including the topics that Qin Yuanqing will study next, many of them will rely on the computing power of supercomputers, such as life science research and materials research. With the help of supercomputers, the progress of scientific research will be accelerated a lot. It is easy to say that it is twice the result with half the effort.

The function of supercomputers is simply to give scientific research a pair of flying wings, such as the research and development of fighter jets and transport aircraft. With supercomputers, it is possible to simulate various conditions, thereby shortening research and development time.

When they were inspecting the construction site, they met a group of people, led by Chen Zhiyuan. It turned out that WeChat Group was going to build a new headquarters in Shahe. After all, although Zhongguancun was good, after so many years of development, Zhongguancun had become very crowded and there was no place to build WeChat headquarters. .

There is no doubt that it is a good choice to build the headquarters in the Shahe area. It is located between the Fifth Ring Road and the Sixth Ring Road. Now that the new campus of Shuimu University is built here, it is even more suitable.

After two months of cashing out, Qin Yuanqing cashed out US$5 billion from the American stock market. As for the tax paid, it has been greatly reduced after some operations. Because of Qin Yuanqing's cashing out, WeChat's stock price not only did not rise, but fell slightly. Next, Qin Yuanqing will reduce his shares to less than 20% before February 2017.

The shares he cashed out will reach 810 million shares, worth more than $70 billion.

"Director Qin, our headquarters was designed by the world's most famous architect Christie de Bauzambach, which incorporates Chinese elements. The headquarters plan is 'Tai Chi'." Chen Zhiyuan introduced that Qin Yuanqing saw the headquarters plan and was surprised. Not to mention that the plan looks like Tai Chi. Except for the two fish eyes, which are high-rise buildings, the other parts are low-rise buildings.

To say it is Tai Chi, it is better to say it is Tai Chi Bagua Diagram, because with the addition of the periphery, it forms Tai Chi Bagua Diagram.

The construction cost of the entire WeChat headquarters building reached US$2.5 billion, or 15 billion yuan, covering an area of ​​500 acres. After completion, it can accommodate 70,000 employees working in the headquarters.

In the next few years, WeChat will establish regional headquarters in Shanghai, Jiangcheng, and Yangcheng to radiate throughout China.

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly. He didn't know much about this kind of large-scale headquarters planning and design, but there is no doubt that the headquarters is very beautiful based on these renderings and will become a landmark building in the CP District.

In addition, the headquarters is only three kilometers away from the Shahe campus of Shuimu University. There is no doubt that it will have greater advantages in the future with the help of the technical strength of Shuimu University.

Although Qin Yuanqing will continue to cash out in the future, he will not cash out all his shares. At least he needs to ensure control of the company. Otherwise, it would be terrible if WeChat becomes an overseas holding company.

Qin Yuanqing and President Chen left for the living area. From now on, all the living areas of Shuimu University will be located outside the campus. There are not even dormitories on campus. The entire campus covers an area of ​​6080 acres including the forest park. The living area is on the north bank of Beisha River, totaling 8,920 acres, of which 5,000 villas, affiliated kindergarten, affiliated primary school, and affiliated middle school will be located on the north bank of Beisha River, forming a living area unique to Shuimu University.

It can be said that the new campus after completion will undoubtedly become the most beautiful campus in China.

Now the construction of this living area has begun. From the planning point of view, this area is divided into three areas by the attached kindergarten, the attached primary school, and the attached middle school, which can coordinate education and life well. To reach the campus, you need to pass through bridges and rivers. The length is only 2 kilometers, but three bridges have been built to connect the north and south sides.

As I write this, I happened to read reports about Kobe Bryant. I remember Kobe Bryant’s death last year. How unimaginable it was at that time! Ten years later, Kobe never watched the NBA again after retiring!
