I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Yanda received close to 3 billion in scientific research funding last year, making it a major player in scientific research.

Shen Qi Mathematics Research Center has been approved for two mathematics projects with a funding of 2.05 million.

The 2.05 million yuan was not sent directly to Shen Qi. The money was transferred to the account of the Yanda Research Office. The Yanda Research Office coordinated and managed the entire Yanda scientific research funds, and the project undertaking departments rolled over according to the procedures of pre-acquisition and reimbursement. Research funding from their own department.

Shen Qi asked Wenyan to go to the scientific research office to pre-collect 300,000 of the 2.05 million, and then continue to apply for the remaining scientific research funds based on the progress of the project, the actual expenses incurred, and the bills issued. This is a professional operation process between finance and finance.

Talking about money hurts feelings, the country has been very strict on scientific research funding in recent years, and the funding application process is so cumbersome that even the financial staff are crazy.

But Shen Qi's 300,000 pre-approved funds were soon in place. Firstly, he had a big name, and secondly, the money was not much.

It is not a big deal for Yanda to give Shen Qi 300,000 of the nearly 3 billion scientific research funding for the year to do practical work.

Once the funds are in place, it is necessary to purchase some hardware and software necessary for the project.

Perhaps the most expensive piece of equipment for a person doing mathematics is the data processing equipment, the computer.

The total budget currently approved for Shen Qi's mathematics research is 2.05 million, and the actual advance is 300,000. He can't afford a supercomputer that is too powerful. He can only buy a few ordinary computers with good performance and a few sets of genuine software.

Shen Qi used the rest of the money to subscribe to the four major mathematics journals and several international mainstream physics journals.

The 300,000 yuan will soon be almost spent, and I have to save some money for business trips, participation in international and domestic academic conferences, and other miscellaneous daily affairs.

The second part of Shen Qi's condensed matter physics trilogy "Application of Defect Topology Research in Condensed Matter" has been approved for the 973 project. The opinion of the relevant national departments is that this project must be done. Also support Shen Qi to do this project.

In terms of funds, the relevant departments are still reviewing. Shen Qi applied for 5 million and listed a detailed subject budget. He doesn't know how much money will be approved in the end. Just wait.

While waiting for the budget approval of the 973 project, Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center hired two new employees. A 40-year-old female employee is Wen Yan's senior sister, who is in charge of finance, and a male doctor is assigned to work in the mathematics department.

The newly arrived doctor of mathematics, surnamed Han, worked in the Shuimu Department of Mathematics before coming here, and was Yu Lei's senior brother.

Dr. Han is very good, and his main field of study is applied mathematics. Shen Qi needed several talents in the field of applied mathematics, and Dr. Han came just in time.

Everyone is hanging out in Dahai Dian, who has switched jobs and gone where, just ask around and you will know.

In a short period of time, Shen Qi recruited two PhDs in Mathematics from Shuimu University, and Shuimu University complained a lot.

Director Shi of the Shuimu Mathematics Department called Shen Qi: "Professor Shen, can you be merciful? Our Shuimu mathematics foundation is about to be wiped out by you."

"I just bought two, and I didn't pick them up. It's their own subjective wishes." Shen Qi told the truth. , live happier than before.

Dr. Han was helped by Yu Lei. Dr. Han is very willing to learn from a Philippine award winner. If he wants to come to Yanda, you can't stop him.

Director Shi lowered his posture: "Then let me make a request. If someone from Shuimu comes to you, don't accept it. Do me a favor, Director Shen. The talent loss is too fast, and the impact will be very bad."

"People come to me proactively, and I can't bear to refuse." Shen Qixin said that there are nearly a hundred people in your mathematics department, and it won't hurt to lose a few occasionally. If the old ones don't go, the new ones will come.

Director Shi made a suggestion: "Fudan University and Zhejiang University have a deep reserve of mathematics talents, and I am also a bit weak in the circle. How about this, I will recommend a few mathematics PhDs from Fudan University and Zhejiang University to you, and they are sure to be better than each other."

"There are suitable candidates for physics, and I can recommend them." Shen Qi is a relatively straightforward person, and communicates with others candidly.

Director Shi's voice was trembling: "The best physics major in the country is Yanda University. I said Director Shen, why don't you produce and sell in Yanda University?"

Shen Qi has his reasons: "They are all taught by a master, and there will be no new ideas in the later stage of playing. Only when a hundred schools of thought contend can we usher in a prosperous academic era."

"Come on, I have nothing to do with you. I'm not too familiar with physics. I only have some contacts in Shanghai Jiaotong University and Wuhan University. How about I help you find out the trends of physics talents in Shanghai Jiaotong University and Wuhan University?" Director Shi is a good person to the end , is an interesting buddy, and he also has a wide network of contacts in the country, with resources from all over the world.

Shen Qi likes to make friends with straightforward people: "I don't know each other without fighting, Director Shi, it's better to meet by chance than to invite you. We will meet in ten minutes. I will treat you to lunch. You must be respectful."

This lunch was very pleasant, and the dean of the Mathematics Department of Shuimu University made a strong promise to scout Shen Qi for several excellent mathematics and science talents from Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Wuhan University.

New resumes were sent to the General Affairs Office of Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center one after another. Almost all job seekers were mathematics workers, and there were very few job seekers majoring in physics.

Shen Qi knew the reason. He could do whatever he wanted in the domestic mathematics field, but he couldn't do it in the physics field.

Under Shen Qi's name, Shen Qi's two mathematics researchers quickly applied for a high-value mathematics project funding fund.

Shen Qi's own physics project applied for 973 funding, but has not yet completed the approval process.

The status, reputation, and influence in the academic world are very important. With his name, a Philippine award winner can quickly get sufficient funding by writing a project proposal report casually.

Fields Medalist, God of Mathematics, and the three major mathematical conjectures. These names and achievements are intangible assets, representing reputation, authority, and continuous research funding.

Shen Qi has no reputation in the physics world. He has written a few physics papers that most people can't understand, and made a semi-finished earthquake prediction model. He has not won an international physics award.

The subject of quantum keys is an interdisciplinary project. Shen Qi's work is mainly based on mathematics, combining some characteristics of quantum physics. The specific research results and technical details of this project cannot be made public for the time being. If you do not make it public, people will not be able to award you. Academician Pan and the others can only recommend Shen Qi to be selected as an academician as compensation.

"Show off the reputation in the physics world, the one that can be disclosed." Shen Qi started to promote the specific work of "The Application and Expansion of Defect Topology Research in Condensed Matter". It doesn't matter if the funding is not approved, and the theoretical work can be started first.

Once defect topology has achieved theoretical research results, it can be applied to condensed matter such as nanomaterials, superconductors and superfluids, complex oxides, and organic materials.

First of all, it is necessary to establish a theoretical foundation, and then find some materials for experimentation. This is Shen Qi's idea.

So Shen Qi applied for a funding of 5 million. This project is not purely a brain supplement project. It needs to purchase some basic condensed matter physics experimental equipment and raw materials.

Before the equipment and raw materials were bought back, Shen Qi simulated the condensed matter physics experiment by computer, and the research object was LaAlO3/SrTiO3.

The quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (q2DEG) with high concentration and high mobility at the LAO/STO heterointerface, this kind of oxide heterointerface with novel physical properties not only contains physics, but will also have a profound impact on the development of future electronic devices.

The origin mechanism of q2DEG is still controversial in the physics community. Some physicists believe that the generation of oxygen vacancies on the surface of LAO or surface adsorbates, or the external effects of cation mixing at the interface are the reasons for the generation of q2DEG. There are also some physicists who favor the polar catastrophe theory.

The latest edition of condensed matter physics textbooks in China is not very new. They all talk about the latest theories more than ten years ago, and recent research results in frontier fields have not been included in textbooks.

This is also the main reason why Shen Qi's front-line scientific researchers only recruit PhDs. It is difficult for those who have not done a PhD to get in touch with the latest cutting-edge scientific information. Even if they do, they cannot understand it because their theoretical knowledge is not deep enough.

Shen Qi currently does not have a subordinate with a Ph.D. in physics, and research in frontier fields of physics can only be done by himself.

The origin mechanism of q2DEG should be regarded as an unsolved problem in the field of condensed matter physics. Neither the "external action school" nor the "polarization catastrophe school" can come up with a rigorous and mature theoretical system to explain the experimental phenomenon.

The second part of Shen Qi's Condensed Matter Physics Trilogy is dedicated to this, specifically solving those subjects that can be experimented but have no mature theoretical support.
