Chapter 527

"I haven't started the [Path of Believer] yet, so I can't give you any advice about my own experience. I'm sorry."

"What?! You haven't started the [Path of Believer] yet?! Could it be that you refused to break through because of your atheistic beliefs?"

"Of course it's not because of this." Li Tianming said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'Food and wine pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart.' My atheistic belief does not conflict with my desire to become stronger and embark on the path of becoming a believer."

"Yes, you have always been pragmatic. I admit that I looked down on you a little just now."

"...What you say is really unpleasant."

"No wonder you keep drinking my sequence magic potion. It turns out that you are stuck at sequence level five and want to improve your strength." Qin Siyang continued: "Old Li, haven't you collected any decent sacrifices? I can..."

Li Tianming put his palm on Qin Siyang's shoulder, with a face full of relief: "Thank you, Xiao Qin. I just said that I had harmful thoughts to you, and you still treated me like this. However, the sacrifice materials are not that difficult for me. , I don’t intend to start the [path of believers].”

"Why is this? Lao Li, you don't hunt gods outside the safe zone all day long like me. Your main enemy is Guo Jiuxiao! Only by opening the [Road of Believers] will you be more sure of winning against him! Why? It’s not turned on yet?”

"Because it's not time yet."

"Not yet?" Qin Siyang lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "Are you waiting for the results of your research?"

"Um."

Qin Siyang was even more worried after hearing this: "If your research cannot be completed, will you not start the [Path of Believers]?"

Li Tianming smiled nonchalantly and said: "If I can't come up with my research, I won't be able to defeat Guo Jiuxiao even if I start the [Path of Believer]."

"You mean, only the results of this research can allow you to win against Guo Jiuxiao?"

"Almost."

"But you told me before that a living person will not suffocate to death. This research is stuck with materials, but it can still gain momentum through other scientific research projects!"

Li Tianming smoothed the sparse hair on the top of his head: "I lied to you. At that time, my materials were too poor, and the success of scientific research was far away. You are a child with a bright future. I don't want you to waste too much money by helping me collect materials." More time and energy.”

"Now that you have collected all the information, I can tell you the truth."

"This scientific research project is my last trump card and my only chance."

Hearing that Li Tianming was going to hang himself from a tree, Qin Siyang couldn't help but sound a little anxious.

"Old Li, you have great powers, you are a famous professor among professors, and you are at the top of Tiger Brand, so you won't be stuck in one scientific research direction for your whole life, right? If you can't get this project done, just change the direction and continue your research!"

Li Tianming sighed, his eyes full of exhaustion. Like an old farmer, even if he works hard, a good harvest still depends on God's will.

"Xiao Qin, you think of scientific research too simply, and you think of me too seriously."

"how?"

"The scientific research you are currently exposed to is nothing more than papers we publish to help you earn research points. And as soon as you look at the names of those papers, you can tell that they are shoddy works. That's why you think scientific research is something that comes easily, right? "

Qin Siyang was noncommittal, but shrugged, indicating that this was almost his idea.

Li Tianming shook his head: "It seems that the behavior of us people in front of you is too casual and lazy, which gave you the illusion. Watering is watering, and scientific research is scientific research."

"Assuming there are no such messy things as the end of the world or gods, if a scientific researcher wants to make achievements in a field, he can only cultivate one-third of an acre in this field for at least five or even ten years."

Qin Siyang didn't take it seriously: "Isn't it normal to reap what you sow?"

“The problem is, there is no progress bar in scientific research, so you may not always reap what you sow.”

"Normally, when conducting scientific research, scientific researchers do not know whether their efforts will be rewarded. For a scientific researcher, the sunk cost of conducting scientific research in a down-to-earth manner is extremely high."

"Real scientific research explores unknown areas and provides scientific answers to this unknown area. But in an unknown area, how can you be sure whether the answer you give is correct?"

"If ordinary gamblers bet on their own luck, then scientific researchers bet on their own thinking."

"Time-consuming and painstaking research may be wasted because of a slight deviation."

"Even if you succeed in your research for the past five years, in the next five years, you will have to conduct more in-depth research to keep your ability in this field at the highest echelon. Then you will fall into confusion about the unknown again. In. And so it goes.

"Scientific researchers spend most of their time racking their brains to explore and seek knowledge. Real scientific researchers, like workers in all professions, work very hard."

Hard?

Why is it different from the impression?

Qin Siyang frowned, recalling the memory of his previous life after taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

At that time, he worked hard and finally succeeded in the postgraduate entrance examination. At that time, he also had a scientific research dream. He planned to complete his master's degree and study for a Ph.D., and become a scientific research talent respected by everyone. .

However, due to his weak scientific research experience at the undergraduate level, he was unable to contact high-level mentors who were serious about scientific research.

Then I had to settle for the next best thing and become a mentor with average scientific research capabilities. Relying on his extensive network of contacts, this mentor has no worries about food and clothing in the scientific research circle.

Throughout my postgraduate studies, I didn’t have many opportunities to seriously engage in research. Because I was a good talker, I was led around by my mentor. He became a scrap of scientific research and the mainstay of social entertainment, completely cutting off the opportunity to study for a Ph.D.

But he can be regarded as the east is not bright and the west is bright.

The job I found after graduation was introduced by a boss I met through socializing with my mentor.

As for the subsequent replacement of company bosses and inhumane drastic reforms, which resulted in others being optimized in middle age and being beaten to death by security guards during the salary payment process, that is all a story later.

That experience made Qin Siyang deeply understand that scientific researchers also come from all walks of life, at least not all of them are people who work hard on technology.

So he asked again: "But in my impression, many scientific researchers are like winners in life. They have both money and leisure, live a carefree and unrestrained life, and are full of enjoyment. It seems that not all scientific researchers are like Is he the kind of ascetic monk you just described?"

After hearing this, Li Tianming smiled disdainfully: "Those people you mentioned are not real scientific researchers. They can only be said to be bosses who set the direction of research."

"The students under their supervision are the scientific researchers who really devote their time and energy."
