From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

"A level difficulty?"

"Complete the research and get an additional 1,000 teaching coins?"

After setting up a new research and development task, Wang Hao immediately noticed the most critical sentence——

[Complete the A-level difficulty research, and get an additional amount of teaching coins: 1000. 】

The previous missions did not have "extra teaching currency" rewards, only the task settlement can convert the excess inspiration value into teaching currency, and the difficulty has reached the level of A, and the teaching currency can be directly rewarded.

"The difficulty has increased, it really is different!"

For a long time, teaching coins have been accumulated slowly, and the speed of accumulation is a bit pathetic, especially after the course is over, the number of teaching coins obtained by talking to others every day is extremely limited.

For example, if you stay in the office all day, chatting with other teachers, you can occasionally get teaching coins, but at most, you only get five, which is only half of the upper limit for the day.

To establish a C-level or D-level research and development task, you can get some inspiration points related to it by reading books, studying, and talking about research issues, and all of them can be converted into teaching coins when you complete the research alone.

However, the acquisition and conversion efficiency is still very low.

The results of C-level and D-level difficulty research are like tasteless, "tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard", at most one or two SCIs, but almost no influence, and the number of SCIs he published is enough.

At the same time, for C-level and D-level difficulty research, the conversion rate of task settlement to teaching currency is 'discounted'.

For D-level difficulty research, 400 points of inspiration can be exchanged for 100 points of teaching currency.

The usual study and research also need to consume learning currency, because of the continuous consumption of teaching currency, recently, the teaching currency has been 'making ends meet', and cannot even be self-sufficient.

Sometimes, when I try to study and research, I don't use teaching coins to improve my concentration.

Then, quickly gave up.

Using teaching currency to enter the focus mode is a bit like 'krypton gold', and even feels like 'drug-drug'. The focus mode can improve the concentration of thinking and the activity of brain thinking, whether it is learning or doing. Research, efficiency will obviously be greatly improved.

Learning and research efficiency can be doubled or tripled, and the feeling is completely different.

Because of this, the number of teaching coins has been unable to increase, and it is only '361' points until now. If you want to accumulate tens of thousands of points slowly, you don't know how long it will take.

Now, I suddenly saw hope.

A-level research tasks, get an additional 1,000 learning coins, as long as you complete a few A-level research, the teaching coins can be close to 10,000, right?

"A-level, get an additional 1,000 teaching coins, plus settlement and exchange, complete a few A-level research, and the teaching coins can accumulate over 10,000."

"What if it's higher? S-level? Maybe two thousand? Five thousand teaching coins?"

Wang Hao's eyes lighted up after thinking about it, and then he realized that he had to face the reality. The research of A-level difficulty would definitely be much more difficult, and it would not be so easy to complete it.

I just don’t know how much inspiration can be raised by making a report at the STACS meeting?

...

Laughing all the way.

Far country Marseille is the final destination, the distance is already far enough, and it will take a little longer to transfer flights at Milan Airport.

When the plane arrived at Marseille Airport, Wang Hao felt groggy. He forced himself to sleep most of the time, lying on the seat with his eyes closed, but he still felt exhausted.

Fortunately, here we are.

After getting off the plane and following the crowd out of the airport, I felt refreshed and in the mood to look around.

Marseille, the third largest city in France after Paris and Lyon, has an urban population of more than 800,000, and a metropolitan population of less than 2 million. Because it is a famous port city in the Mediterranean Sea, it is seen from cars driving by the sea. The scenery is still very good.

Wang Hao and Ruan Hailong first went to the hotel, put away their luggage and had something to eat, and then went directly to the conference hall of Shanot Park. On the first day they came, they had to sign in, get their own information board, and learn about it Meeting schedule.

STACS is a computer theory and algorithm conference, which is classified as an international Class A academic conference. Because of its professionalism and influence, it can be regarded as a top computer conference.

Internationally, there are many A-level conferences on computer science. STACS is only a professional conference in one direction. The scale of the conference is not large. The official reporting time is planned to be two days.

If there is a longer report in the meeting, it may be extended by half a day or a day as appropriate.

Wang Hao and Ruan Hailong went there together, showed relevant certificates, and received his own information card.

Ruan Hailong also went to the electronic bulletin board, looked at the meeting report arrangement, and then came back and said, "Your, the second meeting place, the first meeting in the afternoon the day after tomorrow!"

"The first show the day after tomorrow afternoon?"

Wang Hao couldn't help but frowned. The first game in the afternoon was not a good time, it could even be said to be 'one of the worst'.

The first session in the afternoon of the second day was still in the 'second venue', and it was even worse, and could be classified as 'not favored at all'.

Ruan Hailong said consolingly, "It's great to be able to make a report. I also submitted a manuscript, but I didn't even pass the first review. Like this kind of A-level meeting, the rejection rate is too high, even higher than the A+ meeting. .”

"Besides, your research will definitely not be favored. If I were an organizer, I would arrange it like this."

What he said was straightforward, but from the heart.

Many people have studied the "Large Number Multiplication Algorithm", but it is already remarkable to be able to "improve".

The conference submission is not to send all the content, but just to introduce the results and briefly talk about the process. The entire research content, especially involving algorithms and computer expressions, is very complicated, and it is impossible to write in dozens of pages at most. In the paper, write out all the details.

For a not-so-famous scholar, if he submits a paper on 'Algorithm for Multiplying Large Numbers', it is enough to pass the review.

The organizers of the meeting will definitely think that the research is at most just an improvement on the "multiplication algorithm of large numbers", that is, to increase a little efficiency, or simply, not sure whether the research is correct.

Therefore, the timing of the report must be placed in 'one of the worst time points'.

The two were walking out while talking, when they saw three people walking together, all with Chinese faces, so they paid more attention.

Wang Hao noticed that one of the people with Mediterranean hairstyle seemed familiar.

The person with the Mediterranean hairstyle also looked over at the same time, stared at Wang Hao for a long time, and called tentatively, "Wang Hao?"

Wang Hao pointed to himself and walked over, he said with some uncertainty, "You are..."

I still can't remember it for a long time.

"Teacher Sha!"

"Oh~~~"

Wang Hao suddenly realized, "Teacher Sha!" He finally found out the information about the Mediterranean hairstyle from his memory.

Teacher Sha, whose name is Sha Mianzhi, is the teacher of the professional course "Linear Model". He has only taught more than a dozen courses and has no contact with others, so naturally he doesn't have much impression.

Sha Mianzhi remembered that Wang Hao was also after Wang Hao stayed in school, and he had an impression, knowing that he was a former student and felt a little sorry.

Some time ago, Wang Hao also appeared on the Internet hot search, published ten papers in more than a month, and was named and reported by Xinhua Daily. Many faculty members in Donggang were talking about it.

Sha Mianzhi paid more attention to Wang Hao after teaching him, but he did not expect to see Wang Hao again at an academic conference in Marseille.

Being in a foreign country, teachers and students meet each other, so I feel closer.

Although Wang Hao was "fired" by Donggang University because of a problem with the experiment, in fact, the ordinary faculty and staff of Donggang University only listened to and talked about Wang Hao's affairs.

Sha Mianzhi introduced his colleagues, one is a research collaborator, Wang Mingkun, a professor of Donggang Normal University, Wang Mingkun is younger than Sha Mianzhi, around forty years old, but he has a lot of weight gain in middle age, and looks a little puffy.

The other is Xu Jie, a twenty-five-year-old doctoral student led by Sha Mianzhi.

Sha Mianzhi made a key introduction to Xu Jie, obviously very optimistic about Xu Jie's potential.

After several people introduced each other, Sha Mian and his group went to sign in, and then went to the venue to have a look around. The venue was inside a famous park in Marseille, and the environment when walking out of the venue was also very good.

Walk, watch, and chat.

When Sha Mianzhi talked about Wang Hao's departure from Donggang, he also yelled a few words of injustice for him, "I can't say anything about it. But I think it's wrong for the school to dismiss him directly. Even if the experimental data is wrong, what about the others? This kind of problem is definitely not your responsibility alone."

"Ah~~" Sha Mianzhi also sighed while speaking.

Others can only talk about similar things. The dismissal of Wang Hao is the decision of the school leadership. What can be done?

"It's all over, don't mention it."

Wang Hao waved his hands indifferently, and asked Sha Mian and his group why they came.

"Make a report!"

Sha Mianzhi talked about this in spirit, "Our results at the beginning of this year, related to IO research, have no problem submitting to A+ conferences, but we have set our sights on STACS."

Wang Mingkun also said quite excitedly, "This time we are going to go back with a best paper award!"

"Ah~~"

Wang Hao asked, "Mr. Sha, STACS will only select the best article?"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Sha Mianzhi nodded affirmatively.

Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile, "Then this time, we are competitors!"
