Huayu for engineering students

Chapter 238 Funding Problems
Teito, Mizuki University, "Growth Method and Derivative Technology and Equipment Research Group Office".

That's right, now this research group has become an official institution, after many rounds of discussions at Shuimu University.

It is clearly concluded that this is a super-large research project that can last for more than three years and produce major results one after another.

The project has a clear route and method, and both the scientific principles and funding requirements are within the capabilities of Huaxia's scientific research level, so it is very feasible.

As a result, Shuimu University formally determined the organizational structure of this research group, and established a large-scale academic project led by Shuimu University, multi-university joint, and state-funded.

Now, it's impossible to be unofficial, so Mizuki took out a small building as the organizational structure. Of course, the major laboratories are still managed by each department, and the projects are re-divided.

Including the Imperial University next door and the nearby Imperial Capital Institute of Technology, Imperial Aviation, and Imperial Iron and Steel will send personnel to participate as appropriate.

In the initial stage, the Faculty of Mizuki will be the main body, and after obtaining some early results, it will spread to other colleges for practical or theoretical research.

This was jointly reported by Shuimu University after communicating with several colleges. At present, the Steel College is obviously the most active. Who told them to see the results.

The first few million funds of this project were provided from Shuimu University's own funds, but this can only provide start-up funds. After all, there are more than 20 projects that have been split, and on average, each project is The scientific research funding of around [-] yuan is a bit of a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, the issue of funding is still being discussed in the office.This morning, executive deputy director Gu Changlin
"Old Gu, what did the ministry say today?"

"It's basically the same, and I don't think there will be any need to run in a short time.

The conclusion is that the project can be approved, and the funds need to be self-raised.Or we have to wait for the next year. Last year’s overall plan did not do this, and this year we will not be able to squeeze out too much money.

After begging for a long time, I have seen the top ones today, and I just promised that the Ministry can provide some for supporting, but it cannot be used for the main funds. "Professor Gu Changlin scratched his cold forehead and said with some embarrassment.

Professor Gu was also a college student in the 50s. He used to be engaged in chemical engineering. Unfortunately, the best years were wasted. Later, when he came back to implement the work, he came back relatively late.

He also understood that his ability could no longer keep up with the current scientific and technological ability, so he did not continue to engage in scientific research and teaching, but transferred to an administrative position, responsible for scientific research management in the school.

This time, he was also lucky. Several people in the same position as him had scientific research projects in their hands. Instead, he, a latecomer, took advantage of it and became the executive vice president of the project team.

The team leader is the school leader, and the academic department committee member is in charge, but the team leader is relatively old, and he can be regarded as one of the few veterans left.What he mainly thinks is that the symbolic meaning of stabilizing the military spirit is greater, and the main daily work still depends on him.

Or how to say "A cadre should be a deputy, but also an executive", this is a slogan left over from the struggle years, and later it became "A cadre should be a deputy, not an executive".

Because the executive deputy has a lot of work and great responsibilities, and it is easy to take the blame.Therefore, if you want to do things, the executive deputy is an absolutely good position, and if you want to dawdle, the executive is a drudgery.

Gu Changlin is obviously the former. He is still bloody and unwilling. He is in his sixties and is about to retire, but he can catch up with such a big project. The shortest project is three to five years, and the longest is ten to eight years. Retiring directly can be regarded as the last glory of life.

Therefore, Lao Gu is really hardworking. He is an old man with great ambitions. Who doesn't have a motivated heart? The white-haired veteran can still fight.Um, no, the hair is basically not white anymore.

Because, it’s gone, who made it possible to eat meat after the 80s, and the hair falls out very fast.

Gu Changlin has been dealing with various funding and approval issues since the first conference, and the organization had not yet been established at that time.Everything is temporary, and now I finally have a small dilapidated building as a foothold, which is already very good.

However, I have to say that Lao Gu's ability is really strong, involving many scientific research institutes, communication, declaration, and approval of more than ten departments from the local to the department, unexpectedly let him in less than a month. to run down.

It was still the mode of cutting first and playing later, that is, when he was running, the project had already started, and at this moment, the formal approval of the project had not yet been approved.

The funniest thing is that the appearance of the first batch of results, that is, the generation of high-temperature ion crystals, was actually faster than the approval of the project.This gave Lao Gu great confidence, and also gave the position a great shock.

According to Lao Gu's own description, at that time, Lao Gu slapped the materials on the leader's desk, and output them to the leader while standing.

The main meaning is that if you don't speed up the approval process, and you haven't finished the approval process after the project is completed, it depends on who is making fun of it in the end.

With that arrogant and cool demeanor that looks down on the world, only the overlord in the book can stand up to a fight.

However, after all, the times are limited, not decades later, Huaxia's scientific research funding is often measured in hundreds of billions.

In this era, hundreds of millions are basically top-level engineering projects, while in research projects, tens of millions are extremely rare.

And Mizuki's project is obviously just a research project, not an engineering project. This kind of thing that only needs to report the research results has always been very strict in approval.

After all, it is not like an engineering project, where there will be a lump of real things left behind, while a research project may consume tens of millions of rats, and finally a paper will be published at the end.

Non-professionals don't know if it's worth it, and even the researchers themselves can't tell if it's worth it, and even those things that don't know their value until decades later.

For example, the most widely used HTML language on the Internet in later generations is actually a subset of a set of SGML specifications developed in the 80s, and the invention of SGML can even be traced back to IBM in the 60s.

Those studies and definitions were actually of little use at the time, and they were left there for ten years without saying that no one cares about them, but there are definitely very few users.

It was not until Tim Berners-Lee chose it as the basic language of the Internet in the previous years and was widely adopted internationally that it began to shine and become the most well-known computer language.

As for the current situation in Huaxia, everyone knows, not to mention poor and white, but it is definitely because the landlord's family has no food left.

Not to mention scientific research, even military expenditures are cut again and again. The scene where later generations of naval veterans cried bitterly on the show, which resonated with countless netizens, is actually talking about this moment.

Therefore, the funding for scientific research is not generally tight. You say that the requirements for evaluating professors are low at the moment.
