Master Archaeologist

Chapter 141 The office is your home!

"Brother, haven't you already got your Ph. D. this year?"

"I remember you are Pubo, not Zhibo."

"Shouldn't you be ready to graduate?"

"Why, did you come back with me?"

Huaxia Academy of Social Sciences Liangxiang Graduate Campus, Doctoral Building.

Looking at Zhuang Yunpeng who was frowning in front of him, Chen Han was very puzzled.

If I remember correctly, when he entered school last year, Senior Brother Zhuang was already preparing for his graduation defense.

How come this year, there is no intention of graduating?

"Don't talk about it, it's delayed." Zhuang Yunpeng sighed: "It's normal to delay your graduation when you are studying for a Ph. D."

"I just read a social survey a few days ago."

"It is more common for doctoral students in our country to delay completion of their studies."

"Only 31.7% of doctoral students completed their studies on schedule, and 68.3% of doctoral students who postponed their studies. Delays are a common phenomenon."

Chen Han chuckled: "But, judging by your expression, it seems that you don't accept it very much."

Zhuang Yunpeng rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You are smiling happily now, my Ph.D. study will be postponed for one year at most, four years."

"The average direct Ph.D. student is studying for 5.5 years, which is longer than me."

"Junior Brother, you may have to study for five or six years before you can graduate!"

"I should belong to the part below the average line." Chen Han shrugged and said indifferently, without any pressure.

He was too embarrassed to tell Zhuang Yunpeng that his graduation thesis had been finished, and what was missing now was only the study of theoretical courses.

If there is no accident, after one year of master's courses and one year of doctoral courses, you can apply for thesis defense.

Others finish the class first, and then bother to think about the problems of the thesis, and they are bald every day defending the thesis.

Fortunately for him, he finished his dissertation in the first year, the only thing missing was the step-by-step courses.

If it goes well, I'm afraid he can follow the minimum requirements of the direct blog and graduate in 4 years.

At that time, I was only 25 and six years old.

Such a young Ph.D. is still very rare in the field of social sciences.

"Senior brother, why did you delay the completion because of convenience? The dissertation failed? Or is it some other problem?"

However, Chen Han also had some doubts.

Although it is said that postponement of doctoral graduation has become the norm now.

But basically there are only two reasons.

Or the instructor is not good enough.

To put it nicely, it is called "high requirements for tutors", but in fact, it means that doctoral students are already skilled workers in the second or third year of study, and can well undertake the tasks of the teacher.

In the field of archaeology, it has been able to help teachers to excavate archaeological projects very well.

The instructor naturally hopes that such students can stay longer and help with more work.

Students are required to publish more papers and papers with high impact factors.

The good name is to make more big achievements, so that it will be easier to develop after graduation.

Relatively speaking, this situation is relatively good, at least it’s not that the students don’t understand what they’re learning, it’s just that the instructor has graduated with a card and wants to keep you as a free labor force for a year or two.

But in Chen Han's view, Kong Jianwen is not this kind of mentor.

And as the deputy director and director of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Research Office, Kong Jianwen really has no shortage of free labor.

The second reason is more cruel.

It is because the students themselves are not capable enough to write papers and make various mistakes in projects, so they really cannot learn to undertake scientific research projects on their own.

As a result, the instructor will postpone graduation on the grounds that the level is not up to standard.

It's just that Chen Han thought about it carefully.

Although Zhuang Yunpeng is a little silly sometimes, he is a little funny.

But his hands-on skills are still good. In the archaeological excavation project, he did not make any mistakes, and basically completed the task assigned by the instructor smoothly.

It shouldn't be postponed because of my poor level, right?
However, Zhuang Yunpeng said with an aggrieved face: "My graduation thesis is ready, and the two core journals have also been published."

"But the teacher said that my level is not solid enough, I have to study for another year, run a few more projects with him, and add historical knowledge."

"Say that I'm not even as good as you, a Bo Yi junior. If I graduate like this, I'll embarrass him if I go out in the future."

"Junior Brother Chen, since you appeared, the teacher's demands on me are getting higher and higher day by day."

"I thought that if I escaped the subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which require top minds to play, I would not encounter a bully who crushes people."

"I didn't expect that even studying archeology, you can have a god of learning."

"How did you acquire your ability to interpret inscriptions?"

"Even if the ancestors were tomb robbers from generation to generation Congliang, it is impossible to learn this stuff!"

Facing Zhuang Yunpeng's accusation, Chen Han patted him on the shoulder very sympathetically.

There are some things he doesn't want either.

There is really no way to explain the knowledge of system rewards.

Chen Han had no choice but to sigh, and said very Versailles: "It depends on talent."

Zhuang Yunpeng opened his mouth halfway, looked at Chen Han with blank eyes, muttered a few times, and then sighed heavily.

it is more than words.

In the following days, Chen Han's life was very fulfilling.

Common courses, degree courses, professional courses, elective courses...

He attends classes with other students of the same department in the graduate school on time every day, and from time to time, he also follows Kong Jianwen to do some follow-up finishing research on the Wenfeng Pagoda project.

Although I can't continue digging.

However, after continuously participating in three large-scale archaeological excavation projects, Chen Han is already at a stage where he needs to absorb and summarize these archaeological experiences.

However, there is no rush to continue digging for a while.

There is a degree of relaxation. Although he is studying field archaeology, it takes a lot of time and energy to complete various reports and summaries.

In industry parlance.

Archaeologists only do two things a year, excavation and sorting.

Carry out archaeological work at the excavation site for half a year, sort out the excavation report and summarize experience for half a year, and implement the excavation results.

Huaxia archaeology is gradually perfected and matured by continuous excavation, summary, and re-excavation and re-summarization year after year.

Following Kong Jianwen in the excavation and summary of the Wenfeng Pagoda project and the Phoenix Mountain Han Tomb project, and sorting out the results, is also a process of learning and growth for Chen Han.

Sooner or later, he will learn to be the leader of an excavation project, like Kong Jianwen, and organize and summarize the excavation results of the entire project.

Kong Jianwen indeed trained him to be a project leader, teaching him how to control an excavation project.

And also some "unique secret techniques", all taught.

This is the treatment that Zhuang Yunpeng didn't get.

He could only work hard every day with the graduate students to make up the history of archaeology and the history of ancient pre-Qin, and he also had to accept random checks and assessments by Kong Jianwen every week.

Although he is a senior brother.

But the gap between inner and outer disciples can be seen with the naked eye.

After feeling this kind of differential treatment, Zhuang Yunpeng burst into tears even more, and immediately approached Chen Han.

"Junior brother, I don't want to be the teacher's direct disciple anymore."

"It's just that if you can intercede with the teacher, just treat me as a fart, and don't continue to postpone it next year."

"I want to graduate and go back to my hometown's archaeological institute to work as a staff, and live a nine-to-five job life."

Facing the "small request" that was not too much from the senior brother, Chen Han did not respond, but just looked at him with deep eyes.

Zhuang Yunpeng's hometown, like Chen Han, is not a place with rich archaeological resources.

It is the peak season for the local archaeological institute to conduct field archaeology for one month a year.

Relatively speaking, work is still very easy, and I can live in the first half of retirement early.

Just be it.

When Chen Han was studying with Kong Jianwen during this period, he heard Kong Jianwen chatting and said that after the increase in the number of the Academy of Social Sciences next year, he planned to leave one for Zhuang Yunpeng.

Although his knowledge reserve is not solid enough, he is indeed a good hand when he does his work, and he can be called an excellent tool man.

Kong Jianwen is also quite comfortable with it, much better than those clumsy rookies.

Instead of publicly recruiting fresh graduates, why not continue to use Zhuang Yunpeng!

"Brother, I'm afraid your dream will never come true."

Chen Han smiled slightly, with an expression of being very optimistic about Zhuang Yunpeng.

"The teacher said, I want you to stay in the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences to shine in the future."

"This is the place where you can realize your value. Don't set up the flag of going back to your hometown."

"The place is your home!"
