Xu Zhengping sat in the office, correcting his homework one by one, with a serious and serious expression.

Unlike the universities of later generations, which have just resumed the college entrance examination, the education environment is harsh with warmth.

Every student has to have four or even six classes every day. Six or even six days a week, they have to have 30 classes, about 15 classes. In these 15 classes, almost all of them have assignments.

For students, two or three classes a day, naturally, they have to work hard into the night, which is why they jokingly call it "93 society" that goes to bed at three in the morning and gets up at nine in the morning.

Naturally, such learning requirements are quite strict.

However, if students want to do their homework, teachers naturally have to correct it. Moreover, not only ordinary lecturers and teaching assistants have to correct it, but associate professors and even professors have to do it, and they often don't fake others' hands.

There are many old professors in their 50s and 60s, even academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who personally correct the nonsense articles of college beginners. This is the warm side of the University in the 1980s.

It is reasonable to say that who corrects college students' homework is not the one who corrects it. However, China has always had a tradition of learning by masters. There are not a few idle scholars teaching at home, and excellent students often stand out.

80 The same is true in the 1980s, and countless college students benefit from it.

But, some people get, some people give.

Even if there are two classes a week, it is a heavy teaching task.

Even if it's an article written by one person and an article written by one hundred people, they almost have the impulse to die.

After the expansion of enrollment in Colleges and universities, there is almost no homework in Colleges and universities.

However, universities in the 1980s still maintain this good practice. Although it is not guaranteed that every student can apply what he has learned, it is still no problem to fill the basic knowledge tree.

Associate Professor Xu Zhengping, for example, has heavy scientific research work in addition to his teaching task. Although there are four people sitting in a small office, and although he is busy every day and even has a tight sleep time, he is still very attentive and serious in correcting his homework.

From time to time, some students come to the office to ask questions. Xu Zhengping works three days a week, and many students come to ask questions.

This is also related to his level. Because he explained the questions clearly, some students from other classes also came to ask Xu Zhengping questions. He treated him equally and didn't think it was a waste of time.

Of course, if the question is too low-level, Xu Zhengping will also use a simple single sentence answer to make people feel embarrassed.

Since he is not interested in learning, there is no need to waste valuable university places. Xu Zhengping has always thought so, but rarely said it.

But today, Xu Zhengping is absent-minded.

Just yesterday, Yang Rui gave the prepared project description to him, saying that he would start a new project in the next few days, and Xu Zhengping was skeptical.

In retrospect, Xu Zhengping hopes that Yang Ruizhen can do it.

"Excuse me, which is Professor Xu, Professor Xu Zhengping?" Another student knocked at the door.

"I am. What class are you in? " Xu Zhengping didn't look up and finished his homework.

The students waited obediently. When Xu Zhengping's work was finished, they said with a smile, "I'm he Quangui. We've met. I'm helping in Professor Tang's laboratory. I'm here to send documents to Yang Rui."

It's a bit wordy, but it's clear.

But Xu Zhengping didn't seem to hear it clearly: "what documents do you want to send?"

"Where can I put the information about the new project?"

"Just put it on the table."

"I'm afraid it's a bit too much." He Quangui said and ran out.

After a while, he Quangui and three other students came in with four big boxes.

"Put it here!" He Quangui first put the box on Xu Zhengping's desk, and the other three students quickly followed.

Box down the table issued a "Dong" sound, the four boys also began to gasp.

"Are these materials?" Xu Zhengping stood up.

"Not only these, but also four boxes. We'll move them now." He Quangui said and went out.

Eight big boxes, a table is naturally not placed.

Finally, Xu Zhengping asked them to pile them up behind their chairs.

"All information?" Xu Zhengping has read a lot of materials, but he has not seen Yang Rui's.

At the very least, other people don't waste so much copy and print paper.He Quangui has been to Huarui laboratory. Knowing Yang Rui's work style, he said with a smile, "it's all materials, some of which are periodicals, some of which are copied and printed. When you are free, please call Yang Rui. He has specific instructions."

Xu Zhengping slowly opened the box, which was full of books, periodicals and copies.

"That's too much waste." Another associate professor from the same office came over and twisted up a bound copy. Although it was a double-sided copy, the white paper was used only once, which was not quite in line with the Chinese way of thinking.

"Call Professor Tang's lab?" Xu Zhengping didn't care to read the information, so he first looked for the extension number in the notebook on his desk.

He Quangui nodded and said yes. He was waiting.

After a while, the phone was connected. When Xu Zhengping heard Yang Rui's voice, he asked, "give me a few days to read your information?"

"The information is just for your reference. When do you think it's good and when will it start? If the project team, I can organize it in five days. This project is more troublesome than the last one, and I have to contact Tokyo University. How much trouble do you have." Because it's inside, Yang Rui's voice is quite clear.

Looking at the eight big boxes, Xu Zhengping kept silent for a moment and said, "I'll finish them in five days."

"Well, let's plan to start the project next week. Take your time. We have other projects." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Xu Zhengping didn't laugh. He hummed twice and said, "if you can plan the next project, I can do it even after cooking oil."

After finishing one project and then doing another project, this kind of story sounds very smooth and normal. Only people in the bureau know how difficult it is.

With examples familiar to everyone, doing projects is like preparing for exams, and it's a model of learning while taking exams. When a project is finished, another project will be done next. That is to say, the first day of school is the beginning of the examination, and then one course will be tested a week or a month, and another course will be tested after one course.

Constantly overdrawn energy and physical strength is one thing, and the study and preparation before the exam is another.

Just like the new project Yang Rui prepared for Xu Zhengping, Xu Zhengping, as the actual executor of the project, must first understand the relevant research at home and abroad.

Eight big boxes and millions of words of information are the intellectual achievements of hundreds of researchers. If you don't look at other people's research, will you spend your whole life studying it again?

Although these materials are not as raw as textbooks, there are many new things in them.

Normally speaking, in order to prepare for a project, reading materials one or two months in advance is not enough.

Xu Zhengping said that he finished reading in five days. It was a big sale of hematemesis, and he was too excited.

What's more, Yang Rui has finished his main work, which is also a stimulation to him.

As the project leader, Yang Rui is the corresponding author, and he can also take one of the top authors, because he shoulders the greatest responsibility, looking for research direction.

It seems easy to find a project with an outsider's mindset. It's true that there are many projects on the earth. Landing on Mars is an obvious, valuable and meaningful project. However, such a project has no practical connection with Yang Rui and others.

Normal scientific research, is a little bit of rub out.

For example, when we study triangles, we first need to study special isosceles right triangles, then relatively special right triangles, then special regular triangles, and relatively special isosceles triangles... If anyone wants to prove Molly's theorem, it's a personal choice. You can play it all your life, but, If the isosceles right triangle is not studied, the beauty and difficulty of proving Molly's theorem will be out of the question.

Of course, it's happy to study triangles and equilateral right triangles. The most normal scientific research is to study nothing.

There are many things worth studying in the world. However, if landing on Mars is not considered, there are not many left.

Many researchers think about it every day, or they have to think about it, and when there is no project, good ideas may pop up like a blowout.

However, whether the imaginary "good" is really good still needs to be verified.

If it is in the 21st century, it is relatively simple to search literature databases, and the results are usually relatively simple. Generally speaking, 99% of good ideas have either been done or found not to be done.

There are various reasons why we can't do it. For example, there is a side argument that this idea is bad; For example, there is a side argument that I did a similar experiment and spent 100000; For example, there is a side argument that this set of experiments is difficult to infect dysmenorrheaOccasionally, there are some good ideas that prove to be really good.

For example, muris, the founder of PCR, imagined that PCR would be used. Many colleagues thought that it would not work out, otherwise it would have been done by predecessors.

As a result, we can really get the result, and our predecessors have never done it.

As a result, Mullis won the Nobel prize that everyone dreamed of.

The hapless are not without them. Lagrange, who abused college students thousands of times, used Newton's binomial theorem to solve the problem of high-order derivative of the product of two functions when he was 18 years old, that is, the year when ordinary Chinese students were a freshman. He also wrote a paper in Latin and sent it to Euler.

Not long after that, Lagrange got a reply: your research was completed by Leibniz half a century ago, so you don't have to look up the data before you write your paper.

So, when Lagrange was 18 years old, one thing was the same with 18-year-old Chinese college students. They all faced the sky and cried out: go to your mother's Leibniz!

Xu Zhengping doesn't want to curse his mother, so every time he starts a project, he has to spend a lot of time and consult a lot of information.

Now, this work has been completed by Yang Rui, and the time saved for Xu Zhengping is not a bit.

Although the boss of the laboratory does this work, Xu Zhengping is still a little confused about whether Yang Rui can do it well.

"Just look for the answers in the data." Looking down at the eight big boxes, Xu Zhengping was also full of energy.
