Chapter 192 Ambition and Awards(1/2)
In the small suite, after listening to Qiao Yu's rant on TV, Qiao Xi looked at her son in surprise and asked, "Is this what Teacher Tian said to you too?"
Qiao Yu glanced at Qiao Xi and said with a bad smile: "How is that possible! I thought about this and then convinced Director Tian. But Mr. Yuan probably means this! I'll see who has the nerve to reject my project in the future!"
Qiao Xi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I still don't understand. You won't be short of scientific research funds, so what are you trying to do by causing this? Are you offending people for nothing?"
Qiao Yu sat upright and said, "What are you talking about? I have no shortage of scientific research funds, but do you? Does old Xue have a shortage? Does Senior Brother Chen have a shortage? Does Junior Sister Zhang have a shortage?
There will be many field supervisors in the future. Will Mr. Yuan and my students be in short supply? I am great. I represent a group. Only in this way can we form a joint force and make scientific research breakthroughs. Do you understand?
Lao Xue asked me before, if we jump back and forth between Yanbei and Huaqing, what should we do if there are not enough resources in the future? I told him, of course, we need to make the cake bigger! Can't we just let everyone have enough?
What does it mean to be a scholar? Suppressing students is not called a scholar, working together to support others is not a scholar, and only robbing funds is not a scholar! A true scholar must be able to influence the direction of technological development and get things done!
As long as I apply for the project in the future, it will be successful! Before I fail, no one has the qualifications to reject my project. This is the most important thing at this stage.
You also said that I hope I can stand on the top of the mountain and not be able to see every face below clearly! Can it be achieved by solving a few problems? That's a joke! This world is material, so we can only do it if we have the right to say how to allocate resources.
To this point!
So you are still too short-sighted! When Mr. Yuan asked me to apply for the National Natural Science Foundation of China on the Riemann Hypothesis, I didn’t understand this yet! But now I understand! Grandpa is really cunning!”
Qiao Yu sat there, looking high and full of energy. Although he was only a seventeen-year-old boy, he already had a sense of heroism.
Qiao Xi looked at this guy in a daze, but she quickly came to her senses and scolded him: "A cunning old man?"
"Hey, just the two of us don't care about these words. It's the same if we replace them with resourceful, foresighted, and mature! Anyway, you can probably understand what it means!"
Qiao Yu waved his hand carelessly.
"But how much funding can there be for the mathematics project? If people can't deny your project, why not deny other people's projects? Do you really want to stick to your word?" Qiao Xi asked with a frown.
Qiao Yu sneered and said: "Who said I have to apply for mathematics projects in the future! Let me tell you, when I apply for national projects again, it will be the kind of large-scale engineering projects that require huge investment! As long as I master the theory, then
Aren't you holding the handle in your hand?
For example, how much funding is there for a moon landing project? Do you know how many mathematical problems are involved in the moon landing project? Aerospace dynamics, orbit calculation, navigation and positioning, flight control, attitude adjustment, material and structure analysis and even mission planning and resource allocation.
Tell me, which one does not require mathematical assistance? As long as I can master such a large-scale project, how many mathematics-related projects can I subdivide? As long as I have the final say on such a project, who would dare not to review other basic research projects?
My face?"
Qiao Xi had nothing to say.
Since Mr. Yuan was the first to initiate this matter, even if she felt something was wrong, she couldn't say anything.
Like Qiao Yu, Qiao Xi still respects her teachers. After all, Mr. Yuan fulfilled her college dream with just a few words.
Fortunately, she didn't need to say anything, she just needed to keep focusing on the interview. This was an interview program broadcast to people across the country, and all she needed to do now was to be proud of Qiao Yu.
The host on the TV has already started asking questions.
"...Many young people may feel bored or even confused when learning mathematics or other subjects. Do you have anything to say to these young people who have the same confusion?"
On TV, Qiao Yu once again talked with a smile on his face.
"How should I put it? In fact, there are many students around me who are like this. For example, several students who participated in the Little Libaba Mathematics Competition with me. They also liked mathematics very much at first.
Later, we became teammates in the IMO. We went to Australia to participate in the competition together and achieved good results. But then I think this happened after they entered the Yanbei Talent Class.
Although we are good friends, to be honest, I think their attitude towards learning is wrong. In fact, everyone has their own shortcomings and advantages. There is no need to be confused or give up on yourself.
As long as people can recognize their own shortcomings and humbly accept that there are better people in this world, and all other people's doubts are an encouragement to themselves, they will definitely not be confused.
I don’t know if others are like this, but I have always thought this way, and I have always maintained a humble attitude in the professional field. I know that there are many people in this world who are better than me, and I still need to continue to study hard to always be at the forefront.
The cutting edge of the times.”
"Hahaha……"
Naturally, the laughter was not from the TV, but from Qiao Yu who was sitting on the sofa in the room.
Yes, after seeing this paragraph, Qiao Yu ignored Qiao Xi's strange eyes and was already laughing to herself.
He really didn't expect that the program team would actually keep this paragraph intact. After all, he said it just to disgust the three guys in the friend group.
Probably this program is to encourage young people to engage in scientific research! After all, he almost made it clear, he just mentioned the names of the three guys.
There were only six people who went to Australia to participate in the IMO together. Apart from him, there were only three guys who chose to come to Yanbei University. There were also two people who chose to go to Huaqing's elite class.
"Why did they provoke you?" Qiao Xi asked from the side after Qiao Yu was almost done laughing.
"They are all embarrassed to talk to me now, haha! I don't know if they have watched this interview now. If they have, they have probably cursed me on WeChat!"
With that said, Qiao Yu took out his cell phone.
He feels that although these three guys have been silent recently, they will still pay attention to his activities. For example, they will definitely take a look at tonight's interview.
Even if they haven't watched it, someone should have informed them to watch it. Although there is no TV in the dormitory and they cannot watch this kind of program, you can still watch TV on the Internet.
As far as he knew, Yu Wei had the habit of watching the seven o'clock news from the central media on his computer.
As a result, when he clicked on the WeChat group, he couldn't find the friend group at the first time. After scrolling up carefully, he found that the name of his friend group had been changed to "Let's be a person."
Sure enough, the group was already lively again.
If he hadn't set his phone to do-not-disturb mode, he might have seen it just now.
Yu Yongjun: "Brother Qiao, please accept your magical powers. We have already recognized the gap, don't be like this! This is an interview with the central media!"
Gong Jiatao: "Fuck! The two beasts in the dormitory now call me confused brother. God Qiao, does your conscience really not hurt?"
Yu Wei was still considerate and only sent a line of ellipses.
"Huh? How do you get it right? It's just a metaphor. You know metaphors, right? It's a rhetorical technique. There's no other way. This interview is to set up a few examples and criticize a few sentences. I can't criticize someone I'm not familiar with, right?"
Qiao Yu argued plausibly in the group.
"No, if you say that, it would be unlucky to be familiar with you. Can't we just treat each other as individuals?"
"I think it's unlucky for you to quit the group and be blacklisted! Oh... when you are about to graduate and want to apply for graduate school, don't tell me that you know me! By the way, the rich second generation is not included in this list."
"..."
"..."
"..."
It was pretty good, and it made all three of them speechless.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I still have a lot of things to do. Hey, you don't know, it's so difficult to do something now!"
…
"Hey, it's so difficult to be a review expert now! How can this kid say that?! How did Lao Tian teach him this?!"
Lu Yanxiang, who had just finished watching the interview, complained to his wife next to him with an embarrassed expression.
"Why did you deny his project in the first place? Wouldn't it be better if you just passed it? This kid is so good, and his teacher is Academician Tian, and he has a good relationship with Academician Yuan, so he can't just go with the flow?"
Lu Yanxiang’s lover is also a university professor, but he teaches social and humanities subjects. Naturally, he doesn’t know much about mathematics.
"Why did you reject it? Do you think it was me? He submitted a project to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. Who would have thought that he could really solve it! If I passed it casually, people would think that I also had some kind of deal with Yanbei University
Yeah!" Lu Yanxiang argued loudly.
"So? Has Qiao Yu solved it?" the lover asked.
Lu Yanxiang immediately stopped speaking loudly and had nothing to say.
"Yes, to put it bluntly, you still look down on other people's young men! You look down on others and don't allow them to say a few words on TV? I've never seen you so domineering before!"
"What do you know! That's the Riemann Hypothesis!"
"So is it solved?"
Well, Lu Yanxiang finally understood what it meant to be a winner and loser. Even his lover saw it this way, and he didn’t dare to think about how ordinary people would interpret that segment when it was broadcast!
He was afraid that the label of being jealous of talented people would be slapped on his head. Fortunately, it was a collective decision to reject Qiao Yu's project at that time.
"Otherwise, you might as well stop serving as the expert reviewer in the future. Are you willing to do so?"
He was too lazy to say anything, but his lover next to him suddenly said something.
Lu Yanxiang was stunned, and then found that he had nothing to say.
Of course I couldn't bear it.
Before reaching that age, how many people can really give up the power in their hands without any worries?
Don't underestimate the expert status of this review library.
There are only so many National Natural Science Projects every year, and there are only so many hats that can be distributed. Of course, it is the experts with the right to speak who decide who to distribute and who not to distribute.
With this authority in hand, it will naturally be easier for his students to do whatever they want.
As long as we don't make any mistakes in general principles, it's a promising project. It doesn't hurt to make an exchange in private.
If you give up the right to review, it will be difficult for many people in the backyard to get projects.
This is not even his own matter, but a group matter. Who can give in?
"I don't know what Mr. Yuan and Lao Tian are thinking?" Lu Yanxiang couldn't help but muttered.
"So you people always think it's the old guys' idea. Why don't you say that this might be Qiao Yu's idea?
To be continued...
