From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Opposite to the phone interview is Wang Junying, a TV reporter from Beijiang Province.

Wang Junying came to do the interview just to hope that Wang Hao would share his views on the focus of online public opinion, that is, on the issue of 'researchers make mistakes and bring losses'.

Wang Hao is the party involved in Donggang Experimental News. He can talk about his personal experience based on this question.

Wang Junying didn't have any bad intentions, she represented the TV station of Beijiang Province.

Wang Hao is an academic star in universities in Northern Xinjiang. He has continuously completed basic research in mathematics. He not only has domestic influence, but also has great influence internationally.

Northern Xinjiang Province is not a major academic province, and it still attaches great importance to academic stars.

Just like the judgment made by Ma Wenjun, scientific researchers need to establish a positive image, and the stains of the past are just passed over. Even if there are some words that may cause controversy during the interview, they will be cut out when reporting.

So Wang Junying just listened to what Wang Hao had to say, and responded to the focus of public opinion based on his words.

She never expected to hear such a passage.

Wang Hao's answer was very unexpected. He didn't talk about the focus of public opinion at all. Instead, he said that he was dismissed and expelled from Donggang University in a very simple and fast way, even without investigation. , All responsibility rests on him.

After hearing this, Wang Junying was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and asked, "Professor Wang Hao, what do you mean to say that the problem of the Donggang experiment is not your problem, and has nothing to do with you at all?"

"I don't think so."

Wang Hao expressed his views on the matter, "I have just mentioned the process I experienced personally, even I know very little about it myself, and the only thing Donggang University gave me was the letter of dismissal."

"I was fired, I couldn't even get into the materials laboratory, and there was no way to know exactly what the problem was."

"The only thing I can be sure of is that there must be no mistakes in my work, because I recalculated all the data afterwards."

He finally added, "I am very confident in my computing power."

...

The telephone interview is over.

After Wang Hao put down the phone, he immediately felt the strange eyes of the head of the department, Zhou Jianchun.

What is revealed in that look is "so it is", "big event", "big gossip" and so on, and he feels that something is wrong when he is looked at.

Zhou Jianchun didn't say a word, just watched Wang Hao leave the office, and then took a deep breath.

It's a big deal.

Even in Xihai University, there are many people talking about the Donggang experiment incident, the main reason is that Wang Hao is in Xihai University, and he has continuously achieved amazing results.

Wang Hao is the focus, and what happens to him will also be the focus.

People will not discuss it publicly, but there are still a lot of things to say in private. Some people think that there must be something wrong with the matter, but most people just gossip and don't go into it in depth, probably because even the research has no results.

it's good now.

After listening to what Wang Hao and the reporter said just now, Zhou Jianchun dared to confirm one thing, the Donggang experiment incident must have nothing to do with Wang Hao.

In fact, this matter has no effect on Wang Hao.

Even if it is true, he made an experimental error and caused losses to Donggang University's materials laboratory, but the past is over, and everyone is concerned about Wang Hao's latest achievements. Even the public opinion on the Internet, most people I also think that it is normal for scientific researchers to make mistakes.

It is impossible for any cutting-edge research to be 100% correct, or even to say that the probability of being correct is not high.

Even some low-level mistakes are normal, just like students doing math problems, no one dares to say, they can be 100% correct.

If the matter is really Wang Hao's problem, he himself is unlikely to talk about it, discuss it again, or deny his own problem.

Then there is only one answer left.

It's not Wang Hao's problem, it is naturally the problem of other people in the materials laboratory. Wang Hao was just taking the blame at the beginning.

This kind of thing only needs to be analyzed in depth.

Zhou Jianchun thought about it carefully and knew that this matter might be serious. Of course, the matter was aimed at Donggang University and had nothing to do with Xihai University.

Although it is impossible to say it directly, it may be very interesting to see the jokes of other universities.

When Wang Hao returned to the office, he felt relaxed. For the first time, he talked about the Donggang experiment incident directly, and the subject was a reporter from the provincial radio station.

So after returning to the office, he said clearly, "The Donggang matter is not my problem."

A simple sentence ignited the enthusiasm in the office.

In the past, the people in the office kept silent about public opinion and news. They just read the news separately, and occasionally looked at Wang Hao worriedly. Now that Wang Hao proposed it, they can discuss freely. Zhu Ping stood up and said , "This matter, I knew it had nothing to do with Wang Hao when he first came here. Wang Hao is such a smart person, how could he make such a low-level mistake?"

"Even if the data was wrong, Wang Hao had just graduated with a Ph.D. at that time, and it was impossible to entrust him with the data work alone."

This sentence is poor.

The data work in the materials laboratory is mainly in charge of Ma Wenjun and Wang Hao. It is precisely because he can take on part of the data work, unlike a doctoral student who is only responsible for some corner tasks, that he chooses to join the material laboratory. laboratory.

Others also commented, "It must be a problem with Donggang Materials Laboratory. The data is wrong. Why haven't we found the problem in three months?"

"If the general data is wrong, it can be seen in one or two experiments."

"Didn't there be one last year? It is said to be a chemical laboratory, and the data is compiled. The tutor guides the doctoral students to compile data and write papers."

"The material laboratory is a good place. The rich and the oily, the top of the scientific research, the nobles, a project is tens of millions."

"Top talents are rich..."

This is the truth.

The materials-related research and development departments of domestic universities are funded in a pyramid shape. It can be said that the top materials laboratories are not short of money at all, while ordinary laboratories are at the bottom. It is very difficult to apply for a small project.

Xihai University's nano-micro-lab is in the middle level, which is insufficient compared to the top and more than the bottom, but it is still not easy to apply for large projects.

Wang Hao chatted with the people in the office, and at the same time had a few words with Su Yingxue on the mobile phone communication software.

They were just added as friends.

Wang Hao asked Su Yingxue for help, negotiating with Penguin's representative, Su Yingxue is much more professional than him, and he will definitely be able to negotiate more sponsorships, his idea is to give Su Yingxue a few points, which is equivalent to finding an intermediary We have negotiated.

However, Su Yingxue insisted not to divide the share, and just said that after the negotiation, let her treat her to a meal.

This made Wang Hao feel embarrassed, and favors are often the hardest to repay.

After talking to Su Yingxue for a few words, Wang Hao couldn't figure out what the other party said, "Professor Xia has something to ask you, but he is too embarrassed to ask, and I am too embarrassed to say anything."

"After talking with Penguin, when you treat me to dinner, call Professor Shang Xia by the way."

Xia Guobin needs me for something?

Wang Hao was a little confused, so he replied with two words, "Okay."

...

Donggang University.

Sha Mianzhi was walking with two professors from the School of Computer Science.

He held a mobile phone in his hand, and kept talking non-stop, "I said it a long time ago, Wang Hao is a genius, but the school actually fired him. I don't know what he was thinking."

"This is because the school has gone too far. If you look at what is said on the Internet, scientific researchers need a more relaxed environment."

"Isn't it normal for scientific research to make mistakes? Even if they make mistakes, they should be treated as normal. How many large projects in the materials laboratory will lose a lot of 10 million?"

"It's better now, the loss is a loss, and the genius has gone to other universities."

While talking, Sha Mianzhi swiped another line to continue, "Look at what this said, we should be more tolerant towards scientific researchers. In cutting-edge exploratory work, there are many more mistakes than correct ones."

"If you make mistakes in scientific research, you will be fired, and no one will do research in the future. Just resign like us."

The two professors next to him also listened and nodded, "Yeah, I watched the entire video of Wang Hao's interview yesterday, and those two functions are so well shaped, I don't know how they came up with it. What kind of brain structure is that?" , to come up with such a weird decision function?"

"This kind of genius is really rare in decades, and he was dismissed by the school as a result."

The three of them were walking while talking, and happened to pass by the entrance of the material laboratory building.

Sha Mianzhi glanced at it, and saluted to the door, "Bah!"

"It's all the people in the Materials Laboratory to blame. If it weren't for them, how could Wang Hao be dismissed? Tell me, you invited Wang Hao to do research together, but the result went wrong. Wang Hao is all to blame, and you even asked the school to dismiss him. , is it a human thing?"

Sha Mianzhi's words expressed the thoughts of many Donggang faculty members.

The story spread, and many people knew about it.

At first, the Materials Laboratory invited Wang Hao to join the research. Wang Hao’s doctoral thesis was excellent and he was nominated for the "Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award", but he was not selected in the end. Even so, many people knew his name, and Staying in Donggang itself represents extremely good.

As a result, something went wrong in the research, and it was said that Wang Hao was responsible, and the school dismissed him?

Regardless of whether Wang Hao is responsible or not, it feels weird to sort out the matter from the beginning to the end. It’s like asking someone to help you solve the problem together. In the end, the problem was not solved, and time wasted for nothing. Even if it is the other party’s responsibility, you can’t blame it for it The other party?

Alloy Materials Laboratory.

Ma Wenjun sat on a chair, frowning and watching the news.

Zhou Xiaolong was anxiously checking the news on his mobile phone and walking around anxiously. Even he realized that something was wrong.

Ma Wenjun found the article that initially guided public opinion, "This is "Newsweek"? Why did you mention that all of a sudden?"

Zhou Xiaolong shook his head, "Who knows what the guy who posted the post was thinking. At first I thought he was trying to blackmail Wang Hao, but the public opinion turned a little bit wrong. Why did it turn out to be an excuse for Wang Hao?"

"Isn't it good to excuse me?"

Ma Wenjun was a little annoyed when he heard it, and he felt more and more that Zhou Xiaolong was a pig's brain, so he explained patiently, "Whether it's an excuse or something else, it's best not to mention this matter."

"Yes, I know." Zhou Xiaolong nodded irritably.

Ma Wenjun said, "We must contact this reporter and ask the other party to delete the report." He simply called Chen Jianlin as he spoke.

They have no connections for this kind of thing, that is, Chen Jianlin has many connections to find the reporter who posted the content.

Chen Jianlin does have many connections.

When he realized that the public opinion was not good, he immediately found someone to contact Hou Lijun, saying that he hoped that the other party would delete the report. The reason was...not to discredit Wang Hao, the fruitful "mathematics star".

The past is also in the past, and the Alloy Laboratory and Donggang University don't care anymore.

Hou Lijun was a little unbelievable when he heard what was said on the phone. With the intuition of a news media, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

It's nothing to change the public opinion on the Internet, but Donggang University found a relationship and called to ask him to delete the report. Why can't they discredit Wang Hao?

This thing is too weird.

It would be normal if it was Xihai University or Wang Hao himself.

"There's something wrong with this matter!" Hou Lijun realized immediately, but at the same time, he felt that he didn't need to do anything at all, so he replied directly, "The content I posted is not important anymore, just read the news carefully and you will know I mean it."

After Hou Lijun put down the phone, he saw the latest news released by Beijiang TV Station, "Wang Hao responded positively to the Donggang experiment incident."

Inside is a recording of a telephone interview, which can be summed up as, "Wang Hao is sure of his work, and there has been no data error."

This news immediately aroused a new round of heated discussions in public opinion.

Many people thought that Wang Hao would definitely respond to the matter, but they never thought that Wang Hao’s response would be like this. He didn’t mention "whether scientific researchers should have a more relaxed environment" at all, but made it clear that Donggang In the event of the experiment, he had no data errors.

What does this mean?

"Professor Wang Hao's meaning is already very clear, he is the backer!"

"Think about it too. At that time, Professor Wang Hao had just graduated with a Ph.D. How could he take full responsibility for a project worth tens of millions?"

"There are inside stories, there must be inside stories!"

"Dig deep! This is the persecution of scientific research workers. It is obviously the responsibility of other people, but let an irrelevant person take the blame!"

"So that's the case. I've always been wondering. When Professor Wang Hao was at Donggang University, he would make low-level mistakes when doing data. How come he has achieved various results all the way when he arrived at Xihai University?"

"This matter should be investigated carefully. I looked for the previous news, and it was true that the specific situation was not detailed. Why was the data wrong? There was no report at all, and the responsibility was directly placed on Professor Wang Hao."

"It's too dark! It's too dark! Dignified Donggang University, Dangdang Alloy Material Laboratory, State Key Laboratory!"

"..."

When the news was released, public opinion was almost one-sided.

Probably some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and similar things always happen, and they almost subconsciously stand in Wang Hao's place.

In addition, some people carefully analyzed the before and after of the incident, and made the same judgment as Wang Junying. They felt that Wang Hao was unreasonable, and they talked about this matter for nothing, saying that it had nothing to do with them.

Because the matter itself has no effect on him.

For a time, public opinion boiled!

In the materials laboratory, Chen Jianlin, Ma Wenjun, Zhou Xiaolong, the "big three" of the laboratory gathered together, and everyone had a dignified face.

After reading a news report, Chen Jianlin frowned and asked, "What should we do now? Let's talk about it."

Zhou Xiaolong said directly, "Look for the school and suppress the news. We can't let the public opinion continue. Yes, we must suppress it. If no one discusses it, the heat will pass and it will be fine."

Chen Jianlin stared at Zhou Xiaolong for a long time, making the latter feel uncomfortable, and he said, "I really don't know how your brain grows. If the matter is so simple and can be solved, why should I ask you?"

"idiot!"

Chen Jianlin cursed angrily, and said, "Don't talk about whether the public opinion can be suppressed, how do you stop the mouth of a scholar who is not in the school and has a certain academic status? Professor Zhou, who do you think you are? You have such a big ability?"

Zhou Xiaolong stopped talking immediately.

Chen Jianlin turned his head to look at Ma Wenjun, and Zhou Xiaolong just reprimanded him, but Zhou Xiaolong was "one of his own people" and had the same heart with him, so Ma Wenjun was really an "outsider".

But when it comes to problems, Ma Wenjun's brain is much more useful than Zhou Xiaolong's.

Ma Wenjun was silent for a while, then sighed, "Let them investigate publicly."

"ah?"

Zhou Xiaolong suddenly became anxious, "How can I be investigated! How can I be investigated!"

"Only for that project."

Ma Wenjun said, "For other projects, we can use 'research and development secrets' as an excuse to prevent investigation, but that project can be investigated. The data is fine, but there is actually nothing to be found. We just want to express this attitude."

"At this point, the more you hide it, the more suspicious you will be. We have to express a clear conscience and let you investigate if you want to. In the end, nothing can be found. What can we do?"

Chen Jianlin nodded in thought, thinking that what Ma Wenjun said was right.

At this time, the superiors will definitely pay attention to the project, and it is impossible to stop the investigation, so they simply let them investigate. If there is really no problem in the investigation, so what can we do?

"So be it."

Chen Jianlin said, "Professor Ma is right. The public opinion outside is boiling. If they want to investigate, let them investigate. We have a clear conscience!"

His voice became sonorous and forceful.

If you don't know, you think you really have a clear conscience, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Then Chen Jianlin glanced at Zhou Xiaolong, frowned and said, "Xiaolong, these few days, you should not be in the laboratory, just say you are sick, ask for leave, or simply leave Donggang, and come back when things subside."

"Ah?" Zhou Xiaolong was full of surprise, "Why?"

Chen Jianlin frowned and said, "You can do what I say, there are so many reasons!"

"oh oh!"

Zhou Xiaolong didn't dare to confront Chen Jianlin, he shrank his neck from being scolded, and hurried to pack his things.
