Chapter 284 What’s Wrong?

In fact, applying for exemption from examinations for basic subjects for Zhao Yi is not considered special consideration, because he really wants to receive the award.

There are similar rules in college.

For example, conscription.

When college students are drafted into the army, the courses taken during the semester, whether they are main courses or electives, will be directly recognized as passed.

In other words, schools have the right to provide special consideration in exams and scores based on students’ special circumstances.

This is also normal.

After all, college is different from high school. A student's performance in each subject depends entirely on the teacher, just like the usual scores included in the grade. The teacher has the right to directly give full marks.

Some students want to receive the world-class Shaw Award, but there is a conflict with the exam time. With a reason beyond the school education level, they can naturally apply for passing the subject.

In fact, many teachers are eager to give full marks to Zhao Yi directly.

Zhao Yi was under too much pressure to take the exam.

For example, math subjects.

If Zhao Yi got a question wrong on the exam paper, Hu Zhibin wouldn't know whether to mark an '×' or a '√'.

This is where it gets tricky.

Teachers of other subjects feel the same way. Even biology and chemistry teachers don’t know how to judge papers.

Zhao Yi didn't know that he was causing so much trouble to the teachers, so he felt there was no need to think so much.

Exam!

If you get the answer right, you get the answer right. If you get the answer wrong, you get the answer wrong. It doesn't matter.

Who doesn’t make mistakes when answering questions?

After all the exams were over, the students were preparing for the holidays, and Zhao Yi also hoped to have a relaxing holiday.

So he got to work.

First of all, he had to solve the "Information Compression Technology Theoretical Research" project. He had been putting off completing it, mainly because the project funding was as high as 2.8 million. It was unreasonable to think that it could be completed in a few days.

Now Zhao Yi has figured it out.

The value of the project is already so high, and knowledge is valuable. If he completes the project quickly, the project leader will only be happy. They will definitely hope to have a complete mathematical theory of information transmission.

This is very beneficial to the development of national science and technology.

In the national navigation system project, many satellites need to be launched into space. The cost of launching the satellites up and then taking them back to update the system will probably be higher than the satellites themselves.

Therefore, if the project is submitted earlier, the algorithm system can be improved earlier, which will allow subsequent satellites to be launched with higher shooting accuracy and higher transmission efficiency.

The 'Information Compression Technology Theoretical Research' project is not difficult for Zhao Yi. He just sorted out and repaired the data on digital compression technology. Considering that the reviewers and internal researchers of the project cannot all be like Terence Tao, they are People who stand in the pyramid of mathematical research do not have a deep understanding of the mathematical theory of digital compression technology, so they need to make some appropriate annotations in areas that are more difficult to understand.

The work of annotating takes up more time.

Zhao Yi has a very good understanding of the theory as a whole, but because he uses causal thinking when doing research, he feels that he understands many places at once, but after switching to logical thinking, he feels a little unclear.

He simply annotated all the contents of many short paragraphs.

This work does not consume mental energy, but it consumes a lot of time.

Zhao Yi began to stay behind closed doors again.

at the same time.

Tang Rongxiu, Vice President of Yanhua University, took the lead, together with professors such as He Mingcheng, Liu Guangzuo, and Zhou Li, as well as several professors and academicians from Shuimu University, Capital University, and the Academy of Sciences, to submit a report to the State Administration of Education regarding the promotion of Zhao Yi The job title rating' application report.

Under the country's current system, if researchers want to upgrade their professional titles, they need a series of complicated processes such as results, qualifications, and selection. Zhao Yi is a fourth-level full professor. If he wants to be promoted, he also needs to participate in competition within the system. , selection.

Zhao Yi has almost no qualifications to speak of. All he has are results. It is impossible to improve his professional title in a short period of time.

However, special talents, special treatment!

A large number of academicians and professors applied together, and Zhao Yigang had just completed Goldbach's conjecture. After the application was submitted, a small meeting was held within the General Administration of Education, and the review was quickly approved unanimously.

It only took three days for Zhao Yi's professional title to be promoted to a second-level professor.

Second-level professor is the highest level under academicians. Some newly-selected academicians only have second-level professional titles, and academicianship cannot be determined by the State Administration of Education.

Domestic academicians are much more valuable than academicians from many foreign countries.

Domestic academicians refer to academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Academicians are evaluated through co-optation every two years, which can be understood as an election in the academic circle.

No matter how high your academic achievements are, if you want to become an academician, you must be promoted in the biennial selection of academicians.

At present, there are more than 500 academicians in China, and most of them are over 50 years old, a large part of them are over 65 years old, a very few are under 50 years old, and the minimum age is over 45 years old.

That’s why many people say that domestic academicians compete for qualifications.

Indeed...

Even in academic circles, many people criticize this, but for Zhao Yi, he is still too young at twenty years old. It is already a great thing to be promoted to a second-level professor within the system, and his professional title has already been Be promoted to the highest possible level.

The next step up is to select academicians.

Qian Zhijin came to Zhao Yi immediately to bring the good news. He happened to meet Zhao Yi after work.

End of report!

Finish!

Submit the report, and then wait for review and settlement.

Zhao Yi also sent a message to Liu Tongen, then stretched out and took a long breath, turned to look at Qian Zhijin who was waiting next to him, and hurriedly said sorry, "Old Qian, what's the matter?"

"Your professional title!"

Qian Zhijin just saw that Zhao Yi was busy and didn't bother him. When he found that Zhao Yi had finished his work, he quickly said excitedly, "You have been promoted to a second-level professor, which is equivalent to the department level!"

"congratulations!"

"From now on, your level will be higher than mine..." The last sentence was said sourly. Thinking about having been around for decades, only to be surpassed by a twenty-year-old young man, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

On second thought...

Professor He, who is over 70 years old, is only a second-level professor, which seems to be no big deal. There are many professors who have been working for a lifetime and will only be third-level or fourth-level professors when they are old.

Qian Zhijin feels that he still has hope of rising online.

Zhao Yi was very calm. He just nodded and said, "Oh." He then asked in confusion, "What are the benefits of Level 2? Compared with Level 4..."

"Higher salary?" Qian Zhijin thought carefully.

"How much higher?"

"Two or three thousand is fast, right? I don't know, but it should be about the same." Qian Zhijin thought for a while and said, "Because you don't have classes in the university, you don't have students, and you only have a basic national salary."

Zhao Yi continued to ask, "What else?"

"A higher level?" Qian Zhijin asked, "Second-level professors are equivalent to department-level cadres, department level!"

Zhao Yi felt nothing.

Qian Zhijin also found it boring. The second-level professor is indeed equivalent to the department level, but it is only a division within the system. Because he does not hold a political official position at the corresponding level, it is just a saying.

He continued, "The higher the professional title, the easier it will be to apply for projects, and you can be able to do such big projects..."

His voice grew quieter.

The so-called 'it is easier to apply for projects' may be useful to other professors, but it is basically useless to Zhao Yi. He has already completed Goldbach's conjecture, and once he applies for the mathematics project, he is sure to pass it quickly.

The same goes for physics.

He had just applied for a theoretical physics project to study the boundaries of multi-dimensional space, and it was quickly approved.

Biomedical Science?

This guy already has his own laboratory and a big five million project in hand.

Chemistry...okay.

The more Qian Zhijin thought about it, the more depressed he became. He found that upgrading his professional title was of little use to Zhao Yi.

so……

If you have the ability, you can really do whatever you want, and you don’t care about anything!

…

In fact, Zhao Yi felt quite happy.

Although it really doesn't make much sense if you think about it carefully. He doesn't need to use the second-level rating to do anything, but it still shows a kind of importance.

This is just like completing a result. The result is valuable, and if it is valued by many people, you will have a sense of accomplishment.

Humans are social animals.

Everyone hopes to be recognized in society, and a special improvement in professional title level is the recognition of oneself by the people around him and the country.

Zhao Yi thanked Qian Zhijin, and also thanked the professors who recommended him to upgrade.

Then he went back to work.

Biomedical Research Institute.

Zhao Yi's laboratory has been working on a rheumatoid arthritis project. The progress of the new project is relatively slow because they are studying a substance related to rheumatoid arthritis.

This is similar to the work done by Dai Tianqing and Han Hui's laboratories to study new factors.

Dai Tianqing and Han Hui's laboratories, with a combined total of more than thirty people, plus an experienced academician Zheng, have spent more than half a year researching the new factors. Up to now, it can only be said that they have little understanding of the properties of the new factors. Although we have a basic understanding, it is still far away to measure detailed data.

Zhao Yi's laboratory has too few manpower.

Zhao Yi has no plans to increase manpower. Firstly, he has lacked the discovery of substances directly related to rheumatoid arthritis, and the researchers in the laboratory are not high-level. Increasing manpower would be giving away some of the results. .

He not only has to consider himself, but also Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei and others.

In addition, Zhao Yi has no intention of studying new substances in detail.

The Biomedical Research Institute is so large that there are more than a dozen professional researchers and dozens of associate researchers.

This job can be left to someone else.

They only need to find evidence that the new substance is directly related to rheumatoid arthritis and determine some basic properties of the new substance.

As long as the results are announced, the work of measuring new substances is just the icing on the cake.

This is actually similar to quantum physics research.

For example, discover new particles.

Zhao Yi used a new method to discover new particles at specific mass positions. The rest of the work of determining the properties and attribution of the new particles could be done by others. He did not need to spend a lot of energy to participate.

That kind of work is not innovative, and the work content will be very tedious and cannot be done by just a few people.

When Zhao Yi came to the laboratory, he heard good news.

Ai Lixin said excitedly, "We have discovered a new substance that can damage normal human cells under certain circumstances."

"This damage is external, unidirectional, and cannot be immune."

Zhao Yi nodded solemnly.

This is actually the result they want to measure.

The new substance itself is secreted by the human immune response and will naturally not be rejected by the human immune system.

Ai Lixin continued, "With this conclusion, we can define this substance and call it..."

"Rheumatism factor?"

"Teacher Ai." Liu Chengjie said happily, "It should be called Zhao-style rheumatism factor. Professor Zhao applied for our project!"

"good."

"This name is suitable!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Zhao Yi quickly shook his head, "No, no! Let's just call it rheumatism factor for now."

If it had been a year ago and something had been named after him, it would have been interesting to think about it.

Now... forget it!

Zhao Yi felt that his fame should be placed on those great discoveries. A small factor called 'Zhao' was also associated with a disease. It was as if he had become a disease. It sounded strange. Something weird.

Next, Ailixin began to introduce the experimental measurement progress in detail.

The basic progress is already in front of us. One is to know how to isolate rheumatoid factor samples, and the other is to know that rheumatoid factor will damage normal cells of the human body under the characteristic environment.

Zhang Wei added several possibilities for the properties of rheumatoid factors.

Zhao Yi started to work.

"The Law of Cause and Effect"!

"The Law of Cause and Effect"!

"The Law of Cause and Effect"!

With limited answers, he quickly found the right one.

Although it cost more than a dozen learning coins, it was worth it to greatly speed up the progress of the experiment. He then concluded, "I think rheumatoid factor should belong to a special antibody. It is secreted by the human immune system with the purpose of inhibiting... Hemolytic streptococcal infection.”

"Should we conduct experiments, tests, and analyzes from this perspective, or study its reaction with hemolytic streptococci."

"In addition, as I told Brother Ai, we need to know under what circumstances it will damage human cells."

"You don't have to do anything else."

Zhao Yidao, "If we can achieve this step, we can settle the project and publish the results. By then..."

He laughed as he said, "Our laboratory can also be replaced with some high-end equipment!"

Several people laughed.

What the laboratory lacks now is high-end equipment. Some experiments have to go to other laboratories and central laboratories. If they can complete the rheumatoid arthritis project, they can certainly apply for updated equipment with the remaining project funds. They can also apply for higher funding. It doesn’t matter whether we have enough money to continue measuring the content or whether we can produce results.

The first phase of the rheumatoid arthritis project applied for funds of only 5 million. Considering the difficulty of the project, their results can be said to be very remarkable.

The important 'rheumatoid factor' can be found in the first stage. It can be said that as long as the results are announced, a large number of medical institutions will conduct research on it, and then it will only be a matter of time before rheumatoid arthritis is completely cured. .

This research result is enough for the laboratory to win a national-level science and technology award, and it is also enough for Zhao Yi, Ai Lixin, and even Zhang Wei to win individual international medical awards.

Everyone is very motivated.

Zhao Yi is a special one. He has some motivation and feels that it is important to produce results. However, at this stage of the project, all that remains is the closing, declaration, publication, and settlement.

It doesn't matter whether he is in the laboratory or not.

Zhao Yi estimated that it would take about a month to complete the project's booking target, and he would be able to enjoy at least a month's vacation with peace of mind.

This feeling is really good.

Looking back on his freshman year, other students were very relaxed, but he had been running around in various projects and research...

It’s time to take a break!

"right!"

"Rest quickly!" Zhao Yi made up his mind.

He went back to his home near the university to sort out his things, and then went to find Lin Xiaoqing.

Lin Xiaoqing has been waiting for two days.

Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing agreed to go back to Zhengyang together. When they finally had some free time, they hurried to the appointment. After receiving Lin Xiaoqing, they immediately bought a ticket to Zhengyang.

…

At seven o'clock that night.

Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing boarded the plane to Zhengyang together.

Nine o'clock.

Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing got off the plane hand in hand. They took a taxi and drove directly into the community.

Ten o'clock.

Lin Xudong was parking his car downstairs after get off work when he received a call from his daughter, "Dad, there are no more tickets for today."

"We'll have a flight tomorrow morning and we'll arrive home around ten in the morning."

"Remember to ask my mother to cook more delicious food..."

"okay!"

Lin Xudong happily agreed and looked up at the window of Zhao Yi's house. It was indeed pitch black, but he always felt that something was wrong...

Is it an illusion?
