I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

The bus picking up and dropping off the children arrived at the gate of Experiment 2 Primary School, and the parents squatting nearby claimed their children.

"Mom and Dad, I got 100 points in the test!" Shen Nuofei conveyed the good news to her parents immediately.

"Hey, Nuofi is amazing!" Shen Qihu patted his daughter's head to show his affirmation and encouragement.

"Hey, Nuofi is amazing!" Ouye copied and pasted Shen Qi's original words, and the vocabulary of a woman who studies mathematics is a little poor.

"Nuo Fei is a good seedling." Teacher Liu commented objectively.

"Officer Liu, our Nuofi's basics in elementary mathematics will be entrusted to you, old man." Shen Qi and Mr. Liu are old acquaintances, and he still maintains his previous address, referring to Lao Liu as Officer Liu.

"Shen Qi, what do you and Ouye expect from Nofi?" Lao Liu asked.

Shen Qi said: "As long as she is happy."

Old Liu: "I don't quite believe what other parents say. But I believe what you say. Then, Shen Qi, what do you expect from yourself?"

Others wouldn't ask Shen Qi that. Old Liu was different. He used to be Shen Qi's instructor for the Mathematical Olympiad national team.

Shen Qi never forgets his teacher's kindness, he said: "I hope, I can retire before the age of 40."

Lao Liu shook his head: "The country and the people will not allow you to retire before the age of 40."

Shen Qi smiled: "Yes."

Shen Qi and Lao Liu chatted, laughed, and talked intimately, and other teachers, parents, and children watched them.

In the dark, a parent asked the child: "The daughter of Shen Qi's family participated in the preliminary competition of your fifth grade group, and she got full marks?"

The child is Ye Wushuang, he nodded and said: "I have been in touch with Shen Nuofei for a while, she is really smart."

Father Ye said: "It's not that she's smart or not, but that she has good genes. Wushuang, as a senior, you should take care of Shen Nuofei."

Ye Wushuang: "If she can skip to the fifth grade, then I have more chances to care about her."

...

Shen Qi hopes that his daughter will be happy in her teenage years, and his own plan is to retire before the age of 40.

To realize his plan to retire at the age of 40, Shen Qi believes that he still needs to work hard, one is to touch the mysterious field in academics, and the other is to achieve financial freedom.

"Chemistry and Biology are 4 of 4+X. Upgrading these two subjects to level 15 is a necessary and sufficient condition for unlocking level 16."

Shen Qi thought about it, Xueba points were enough, the task of upgrading chemistry from level 14 to level 15 was to explain a mysterious existence with chemical methods as the main means.

Shen Qi couldn't help but think of the other two Nobel Prize winners this year, Wayne Tamblin and Sarah Norman.

Wayne Tamblin and Sarah Norman received the award for their important research progress in make life.

In Shen Qi's view, make life is to create living molecules, so as to realize the leap from biomolecules to molecular life, and its ultimate goal is to bridge the gap from chemical evolution to biological evolution.

The research project of Make life belongs to the "mysterious existence" defined by the system.

Shen Qi also doesn't necessarily have to surpass Wayne Tamblin and Sarah Norman to achieve the ultimate research results in make life. There are other mysterious existences that can be studied.

He believes that when the subject of chemistry touches the critical line of mysterious existence, it is difficult to cross the critical line only by pure chemical methods.

It is necessary to find at least one helper for chemistry.

This helper can be biology, but also mathematics and physics.

Mathematical and physical students can also join the battle to help chemistry.

People often say biochemical crisis and biochemical weapons.

Biology and chemistry are the most closely related disciplines.

If chemistry is Sherlock Holmes, biology is Watson.

"The creature is only level 12, and needs to be upgraded as soon as possible."

The task of upgrading biology from level 12 to level 13 requires Shen Qi to train at least five outstanding doctoral students majoring in biology.

Shen Qi is the winner of the Fields Medal, two Nobel Prize winners, and one Nobel Prize winner. He recruits doctoral students in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He only needs to hook his fingers, and a large number of the best students will come here.

In terms of biology, although Shen Qi has reached the master level of level 12, he has not achieved any outstanding scientific research results in the field of biology.

But it's not a big problem. All you need is a valuable and interesting project to transition from mathematics, physics and chemistry to biology.

Shen Qi personally wrote the project application report.

The title of the project report is relatively ambitious --- "Genetic Engineering Research Project".

Shen Qi decomposed this project into three steps.

The first step is basic research. (The leader of the research team needs to be at level 12 in biology)

The second step, advanced research. (The leader of the research team needs to be at the biological level of 13~14)

The third step, more advanced research. (The leader of the research team needs to be at level 15 in biology)

There are countless biological dogs studying genetic engineering.

In the first research stage, Shen Qi only needed five.

According to Shen Qi's calculation, the basic research stage of the first step of the "Gene Engineering Research Project" requires 11 million yuan of scientific research funding.

Yanda’s overall budget for this year is as high as 57.2 billion yuan, of which the research budget accounts for 18%, which is 10.2 billion yuan.

Yanda’s overall budget is only 1.8 billion yuan ahead of the second-ranked Shuimu University, but Yanda’s scientific research budget is a full 7 billion yuan more than Shuimu University.

18% of the scientific research budget is an extremely astonishing figure.

Globally, there are only two universities, Johns Hopkins University and UCLA, that surpass Yanda in terms of research budget and volume.

The research budget of 18% and 10.2 billion yuan is not the main source of Yanda’s spending. The most expensive places for Yanda are faculty and students.

Among them, the budget for international students this year is 88 million yuan. As of December, Yanda’s 88 million yuan foreign student funds have all been spent, and the recovered amount is 110 million yuan.

In other words, Yanda makes money by recruiting foreign students. The income is not too much, the difference of 22 million RMB is shared among the 3,000 international students, and each international student needs to pay more than 7,000 RMB out of pocket every year.

The more the university subsidizes money and gives some unbelievable super-national treatment, the lower the quality of the international students it recruits.

To put it bluntly, if you are an international student who comes to China to study, and you can’t even speak or understand Chinese, how can you still study?

Yanda has truly achieved internationalization. They provide international students with high-quality education and never pay back fees. The international students they recruit are generally of high quality. High-quality international students in China are welcomed by Chinese universities and Chinese people.

Yanda’s 10.2 billion yuan annual scientific research budget is allocated to various colleges and departments. The Shenqi Research Center accounts for the highest proportion, accounting for 8%, or 816 million yuan.

At the end of the year, all colleges and departments are doing one thing to quickly use up the unused budget.

Taking Shenqi Research Center as an example, if you applied for a research budget of 816 million yuan this year, you only spent 200 million yuan.

Then Director Shen Qi has to explain clearly to the school and the country why there is such a big difference?

Even if Director Shen Qi explained clearly, the scientific research budget of their center next year will never exceed 816 million yuan. Generally speaking, it will only decrease but not increase.

The accuracy of budget application and use is an important assessment KPI, plus or minus 5% is usually more reasonable.

Schools and the state certainly discourage budget overruns by 5%.

If you can use technical means to complete all the work this year, do it beautifully, and do it impeccably, and save 5% of the annual budget, it is commendable and will not affect the budget for next year.

Of the 816 million scientific research budget of Shen Qi Research Center this year, 764.2 million has already been used up.

Adding the 11 million that needs to be applied for in the first research stage of the "Gene Engineering Research Project", the actual scientific research budget of Shen Qi Research Center this year is 775.2 million, accounting for 95% of the center's total annual scientific research budget.

"Our center's budget control is very precise." After all, Shen Qi is an expert in mathematics. He calculated and calculated 95% of the most reasonable value.

A single scientific research fund of 11 million yuan is drizzled for biological projects, and biological scientific research is extremely expensive.

But in terms of the specific amount, 11 million RMB is an eight-figure figure after all, and Shen Qi needs to explain the project approval to the Academic Committee of Yanda University.
