Just as the Institute of Mathematics began its exams under the surveillance of artificial intelligence, another meeting was being held in the school's administration building.
The meeting was chaired by Principal Zuo, who is in charge of scientific research.
Although the secretary and principal did not appear in person, they both emphasized the importance of this meeting.
In addition, this meeting included almost all the top leaders of key laboratories in the school. Even if they did not attend, it was probably because they were on a business trip. The people appointed were all well-known second leaders from secondary units, which shows that the standards are high. .
Although this was the first time he presided over a meeting after taking office, and several academicians attended the meeting, Zuo Chengzheng did not show any timidity.
Unlike other vice principals of the school, Zuo Chengzheng was transferred from his position. Most of the people in the meeting had actually met each other during the meeting in the capital, and they were all old acquaintances.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting. We are all acquaintances, and I have something to do this time. I won't talk too much nonsense. We have a piece of material in front of you. After reading it, we will talk about it. "
After Zuo Chengzheng finished speaking briefly and concisely, he picked up the tea cup in front of the table and began to taste tea.
Others also picked up the prepared materials early and started reading.
Soon the only sounds in the conference room were the sound of drinking tea and turning pages.
While others were focusing on the materials, Zuo Chengzheng raised his eyes and silently observed the expressions of others.
Some people were silent in thought, some were already overjoyed after seeing half of it, and of course some were watching seriously...
Ten minutes later, seeing that most people had folded the documents and started exchanging opinions, Zuo Chengzheng coughed twice and said, "Ahem, okay, everyone should have finished reading. If you have any comments, you can do it now Let’s discuss it collectively. Don’t make small moves. Should we do this project? If so, how? If you have any doubts, you can raise them now and discuss them collectively.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked: "Principal Zuo, is this large-scale underwater unmanned swarm technology a little too aggressive? Let's just say that if we do it, we are currently working on a large-scale underwater unmanned intelligent vehicle project. Aren’t you going to be chopped off?”
Zuo Chengzheng raised his head and looked at the questioner.
Professor Luo Benyuan, one of the leaders of the school’s maritime engineering team.
Eight years ago, China's first 50-kilogram underwater unmanned intelligent vehicle was successfully designed and developed by Professor Luo's team.
This was an expected question before. Zuo Chengzheng smiled slightly and explained: "Professor Luo, don't worry about this. The project plan you just saw is being considered for inclusion in the national 863 plan as an independent project. It will be closely related to deep-sea submersible technology and Equipment items are tied.
All sub-projects that overlap between deep-sea submersible technology and equipment and this new deep-sea cluster project will not be merged, but technical information will be shared. In other words, your team’s research results may indeed be used in the deep-sea cluster project, but they may not be adopted, as decided by the project chief designer. "
These words make it very clear that the team’s funds will not be cut for the time being.
But there are no fools here. Of course, they know that if the designers of the deep-sea cluster project of the underwater unmanned intelligent vehicle they are developing themselves do not like it, they will still have to redesign a set of underwater unmanned vehicles for the deep-sea cluster project. , then the sub-projects on both sides still overlap.
Therefore, even if this project is not axed for the time being, the two sides will become competitive. In the end, there is a high probability that one of them will be axed, or it will be used for other purposes. As for the results of research, they will belong to the other side entirely.
There is a fixed amount of R&D funds. If there is more on one side, there will naturally be less on the other side.
So after listening to Zuo Chengzheng's explanation, Luo Zhengyuan did not breathe a sigh of relief, but continued to ask: "I understand, Principal Zuo. First of all, I frankly admit that I do mean to speak for my own project. But at the same time, I feel My opinion is also very pertinent.
I don’t know who is the chief architect who proposed this deep-sea underwater cluster system, but this concept is undoubtedly too advanced. Multi-modal information perception is also being done by Xilin University of Technology. The National Key Laboratory of Space-based Information Sensing and Integration of the School of Electronic Information also has similar projects.
But as far as I know, short-based multi-modal information perception currently has many problems that need to be solved, such as feature fusion, heterogeneous data alignment, label noise inconsistency, interpretability, etc. If it is placed underwater in more extreme environmental conditions, there will be even more problems.
Let’s talk about the most basic ones: underwater perception, navigation, and information transmission are many times more complicated than space-based systems. It also needs a power system with long-term standby capability and anti-corrosion materials to resist long-term seawater erosion, not to mention a cluster. So, is it too optimistic to list this project directly as the general outline of the 863 plan? "
After patiently listening to Luo Benyuan's question, Zuo Chengzheng smiled, looked at the others and said, "Everyone has heard Professor Luo's question. Do you want to help me answer Professor Luo's question?"
No one said a word, no one raised a hand.
It’s not that no one wants to argue with Luo Benyuan.
The main reason is that there is too little information now, it is just a project document. and the goals that need to be achieved.
Who are the projects included in it for? Or what qualifications are required for application, they have not been mentioned yet. Of course, no one is willing to argue with Luo Benyuan at this time.
Not to mention that Luo Benyuan was right.
Even with aerial UAV swarms, there are still a lot of difficulties that have not yet been solved in multi-modal information perception. Not only Xilin University of Technology, but many laboratories across the country are doing relevant research. For the time being, I have not heard of anyone who has provided a more advanced complete set of technical solutions.
The argument at this point is simply pointless.
Fortunately, the reactions of the academicians and professors were within Zuo Chengzheng's expectations.
So he continued: "Then if I say that this project will be jointly funded by the Ministry of GF and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and according to the requirements of the project chief engineer, the entire project will be handed over to our Xilin University of Technology. And we agree to build another national-level deep-sea cluster. What about the Unmanned Systems and Seawater Corrosion Resistant Materials Engineering Research Center?”
This sentence caused the meeting place, which was a little dull just now because of Luo Benyuan's speech, to explode instantly.
"What? Leave it all to our school? All laboratories have a share?"
"Who is this chief engineer? This face is so impressive."
"Is there really no other restaurant in the country? I think this crab can be eaten."
"Principal Zuo, are you kidding us? We are responsible for such a big project? How much investment will it cost?"
"That's right, why do I think this is a joke? No one has applied, so it's just a pie on the head? How can such a good thing be done?"
…
"Okay, everyone, calm down first. Not only that, if this project succeeds within the planned time, all participating laboratories will receive additional rewards. The original nationally important laboratories will be able to obtain no less than two related national key For research topics, non-nationally important laboratories directly obtain the qualifications for nationally important laboratories.
In addition, all patented invention projects involved in the project will not only receive additional rewards, but also all teams will enter the national scientific research award channel. Individuals who have made significant or outstanding contributions to the project will be jointly recommended by members of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences to join the National Academy of Engineering as academicians.
If the contributor is already an academician, he or she will be awarded the highest national science and technology award for that year. "
Zuo Chengzheng continued to throw out the pie, not even considering whether many people at the meeting were elderly and would suffer from indigestion.
However, after these baits were thrown out, the atmosphere in the conference room calmed down.
Everyone started to look at each other.
What does it mean that when something goes wrong, there must be a monster? That’s it!
Xilin University of Technology has undertaken many large-scale national projects, but no project has ever been done like this.
Many people have already picked up the materials they just read and read them again, because they have already tasted the subtext of Zuo Chengzheng's words - the task must be completed within the planned time...
In other words, there are certain conditions for the plan designed by the chief engineer who is not yet known to be able to bring all the benefits to Xilin University of Technology.
If the rewards for completing the project within the planned time are so heavy, it is almost impossible to have no penalty at all if it fails to be completed. If such a good thing really happened, they themselves would not be able to live with it.
"No need to look for it, three-year plan! The chief designer of the project said that he believes that with the overall scientific research strength of Xilin University of Technology, the project can be implemented within three years and pass the review of both ministries and commissions. However, the higher-ups did not completely listen to him, so This meeting is just here to ask everyone for their opinions.
If you are confident that you can complete this project within three years, what I just mentioned is guaranteed to be achieved 100%. You can record what I said. If you fail to implement any of them, you can slap me in the face directly. But if you can’t do it, haha…”
Zuo Chengzheng smiled, and then said meaningfully: "In short, this project requires a military order."
These words made everyone in the conference room feel more at ease.
They are all past the age of fantasy, and they know very well that pie-in-the-sky things will not fall on their heads out of thin air. Gains and losses are the normal state of life. How could Zuo Chengzheng's words make him lose his mind?
But at the same time, the principal Zuo's appetite was whetted to the extreme.
"Lao Zuo, stop talking nonsense and just tell me, who is this chief engineer? What is his connection with our Xilin University of Technology?"
Lu Mingyue, who had been silent until now, spoke.
As one of the newly promoted academicians of Xilin University of Technology, although Lu Mingyue is not too old, only over fifty, he is still in his prime and is the time to produce results, so he naturally has a strong voice.
"Now that Academician Lu has spoken, I won't hide it from everyone. The plan you saw was given by Professor Qiao Ze from the School of Mathematics. I don't know whether you are confident, but Professor Qiao is very confident. In short, the plan given by the above My evaluation is that Professor Qiao is very confident."
At this point, Zuo Chengzheng paused and gave everyone in the conference room time to digest the information before continuing: "But it is precisely because Professor Qiao is so confident that the higher-ups have decided to launch this project. As for what Whether the entire project is digested internally by Xilin University of Technology as he requested, it will be up to everyone."
After a moment of silence, the conference room gradually became lively again.
"Sure enough, I guessed it just now. Who else can be so generous? Let me just say, we can't just watch the School of Mathematics eat meat. I've long disliked that boy Xu Dajiang. It's his turn now. Let’s have some soup.”
"Wait a minute, Professor Zheng, let's not get too excited yet. We still don't know if this soup is poisonous? Let's just say that your laboratory is really confident in solving the problem of power sustainability of underwater vehicles in the deep sea?"
"Hey, Professor Luo, you can't say that to be honest. Isn't there still three years left? I think Professor Qiao knows what he's doing, so he won't be blind. Maybe he already has a plan?"
"It's boring to say that. I admit that Qiao Ze is very good at mathematics, but which of these mathematicians is not an ideal personality? Let alone young people like Qiao Ze, even if they are dozens of years old, a few of them have come into contact with normal people. Erba Jing’s engineering task? Would he know how difficult it is to implement an idea? "
"Lao Luo, it would be biased if you say that. If you say that other mathematicians are like this, I agree, but if you say that Professor Qiao is like this, it is really biased. He still has experience in engineering implementation. He is the one who led the crowd intelligence project. Speaking of which, our School of Computer Science even made a fuss over this matter for a while."
"It's such a strong word that even a layman can't say it! When can software engineering and mechanical engineering be discussed together?"
"Professor Luo, if you say that, I have something to say. What? You look down on us software developers? Your project is still an algorithm designed by us, right?"
"When did I say I looked down on you?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Probably because he couldn't bear to watch Luo Benyuan argue with other scholars by himself, Zuo Chengzheng stopped the debate among several people.
Except for a few academicians who have yet to express their opinions, he already knows the opinions of others.
This is to be expected.
The academicians must have concerns, but as long as others want to move up, they will definitely be desperate to take advantage of such an opportunity.
Not everyone is Li Jiangao. To have such a good life is a legend.
Just go out for a meeting, pick up an incredible student, and insist on being pushed to the top of your life by the student. This is really hard to find someone to reason with.
When he first heard this story, Zuo Chengzheng couldn't tell for a moment whether it was Qiao Ze or Li Jiangao who got the protagonist template.
More than one-fifth of the twenty-first century has passed, and yet something like this can still happen. What’s even more frightening is that it still puts everything out there. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a legend.
"The quarrel is almost over. You won't be able to come up with a solution until next year. Let's do this. Ask the principals of each laboratory and research center to express their opinions. Whether they are for or against, state the reasons clearly and leave meeting minutes. , the final vote was a show of hands.”
After finishing speaking, Zuo Changzheng's eyes fell on Academician Hao Changqing, who was sitting first on his left, and said, "Well, Academician Hao, how about we start with you?"
As the oldest academician in the meeting and one of the chief scientists of the National 973 Project, the attitude of this big man who had never spoken during the meeting was indeed particularly important.
"Oh, I support it. As for the reason, I went to the capital and had a long chat with Lao Qian some time ago. We both felt that it is not a big deal to let young people try and make mistakes. As long as there are people watching from the side, it will not cause major losses to the country.
And I think what Lao Qian said is quite right. He said that although he has never met Qiao Ze, he thinks this kid has successful experience. You see, an outsider can be so optimistic about our young scientists, so we have no reason not to be. I'm done. "
Slowly turning off the microphone in front of him, Hao Changqing raised his head and glanced in Luo Benyuan's direction, showing an apologetic smile. Then he looked away and leaned on the chair.
When Luo Benyuan heard these words and saw Hao Changqing's eyes again, he sighed deeply in his heart.
The result is no longer suspense...
This is indeed the case.
When everyone finished expressing their opinions, he was the only one who objected, and two others had reservations. The others all unanimously chose to agree.
It seems that he has selfish motives.
"Okay, the results are out. The resolutions formed at this meeting will be reported to the public next, and the results will be available in two or three working days. If nothing else happens, it should be passed. Everyone can make some preparations in advance. That's it. , the meeting is dismissed.”
Zuo Chengzheng, who got the result, ended the meeting neatly.
…
While the big bosses of the school were still having a meeting, Su Lixing, accompanied by the leaders of the Xilin High-tech Zone Management Committee, was already looking for a land suitable for building a factory.
After he received a call from Qiao Ze the day before yesterday, he had a shameful sleepless night.
Su Lixing really didn't expect that he would suddenly have such an awesome son-in-law at such an advanced age.
This directly caused him to toss and turn with anxiety and excitement at one time and unable to sleep at all.
It was almost dawn before he squinted for a while and had a dream. In the dream, he was sitting on a large ship and saw with his own eyes that a large island was sinking until it was submerged by the sea. However, before he could be happy, the aftermath of the big wave hit him and woke him up.
After waking up, Su Lixing got up and took a shower, and suddenly figured it out.
He is almost fifty. If he doesn't go crazy, he will really be old.
Not to mention that he really has the confidence to go crazy now.
Even if Xilin Licheng loses everything, the savings saved by Linhai Licheng can still provide food and clothing for a large family for two lifetimes.
Not to mention that his prospective son-in-law is more tolerant than him. Even if they both line up to get in, his daughter will definitely not be hungry in the future.
No, he can take all the trouble on himself when the time comes. With Qiao Ze's ability, the superiors will surely go along with the situation and let this guy continue to contribute outside, right?
So what are you afraid of?
Once he had this idea, Su Lixing was afraid that Qiao Ze would regret it, so he started asking people to contact him about opening the factory that day. He even directly contacted the High-tech Zone Management Committee and made an appointment the next afternoon. Visit in the past.
Su Lixing planned to quickly circle the land and build the factory.
In this way, even if Qiao Ze retreats, he still has to consider the sunk costs.
So at this time, he was sitting in the car, pointing out the car window at a piece of land that had been leveled, and said: "This piece of land looks good to me. There should be more than a hundred acres of land, right?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, this is not the land I just saw at the Planning Bureau. This land has already been planned. What we want to go to is the land about three kilometers to the east. In fact, it is also very good there. The three-way work has been completed." The director of the management committee next to him quickly explained.
After Su Lixing called yesterday, Director Yuan checked Xilin Licheng's information.
Then it was confirmed that this was indeed a big customer. After all, Youwei Group has a stake in the company, and the major shareholder is still the famous name in Xilin.
Although the Hi-tech Zone is already considered a suburb, the international seminar in January still made them sweat.
What if those foreigners want to come and have a look at the industrial zone?
You can imagine the energy of this kind of person who can make the whole city move.
This is also the reason why he received it in person today.
Su Lixing asked doubtfully: "Has it been planned yet? I don't see any sign of starting construction?"
"Boss Su has never built a factory, has he? It's like this. Some large factories need to reserve land. If the market environment is good, they will use it at any time. You can also understand it as investment in installments. This land is the factory next to it. Yes. Construction was supposed to start last year, but the market has not been very good recently."
Director Qi explained with a smile.
"That's it. I've gained more knowledge again."
Su Lixing nodded and said nothing as the three kilometers passed quickly.
When he finally arrived at the end of the field, Su Lixing only got out of the car and took a look, and felt dissatisfied. He had already deviated from the main road by nearly one kilometer, and the terrain was not smooth and irregular: "Is there no other place? I am here." There is an important project nearby that is about to start, can’t you think of a solution?”
"If you don't like this piece of land, it's really hard to say anything else. The main thing is that you want such a large piece of land, and you also need to have three connections and leveling... Hey, although there is no land, if you If you are in a hurry, will you take over the factory that has closed down?
That place is better, just on the roadside, and three kilometers away is the logistics park. The factory covers an area of about 150 acres and has six factories, one of which is a dust-free workshop, two warehouses and two office buildings, all of which were newly built the year before last. The equipment has basically been disposed of, but the factory building is empty. Do you want to take a look? "
"Let's go!" Su Lixing said enthusiastically.
…
Soon the car turned around and things became lively outside the window.
About ten minutes later, the car drove directly into a completed factory area. Director Qi accompanied Su Lixing to toss around the factory area for a full three hours. After going around every building in the factory area, he returned The car was parked in front of the office building.
"What do you think, Mr. Su?"
"It's really good. What did you do before this?"
"Forget it, those who produce non-woven fabrics are a typical example of blind expansion."
"Oh." Su Lixing turned around and asked, "How much does it cost?"
"Last time, the boss here told me that he offered a price of 120 million yuan. Money comes second. The most important thing is that if the factory is opened here, the environmental impact assessment may be more troublesome. You seem to say that the factory is going to produce special materials, right? If it involves the chemical industry, it may not pass the review."
"Oh...just wait for me to make a call first."
The call was answered quickly.
…
"I know, let me take a look and get back to you right away."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ze glanced at the satellite pictures according to the information Su Lixing had just given, and after some rough calculations, he directly replied to Su Lixing's message.
"purchase."
…
Su Lixing was stunned when he saw the message from Qiao Ze.
So straightforward?
For a large expenditure of 120 million, the decision-making speed is even faster than that of ordinary people buying a car costing 120,000?
For a moment, Su Lixing didn't know whether he wanted to tie Qiao Ze into the chariot quickly, or whether Qiao Ze was holding him and running forward...
"But Director Qi asked that the chemical industry needs to undergo environmental audits, so we'd better determine whether it will cause pollution."
"purchase."
Well, seeing the quick reply from Qiao Ze, Su Lixing decided not to bother.
Of course it is impossible to buy directly...
"Director Qi, I do have an interest here, but 120 million is certainly impossible. Why don't we invite the person in charge here to have a chat?"
"Okay, I'll contact you right now."
