I Have a Research Support System

At two o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, Xu Qiu was called to the office by Wei Xingsi.

After entering the door, Xu Qiu saw two men and two women standing in the room, both of whom looked like undergraduates, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Generally, at the beginning of a new semester, undergraduates prefer to find a research group, because this time period is the time node for applying for on-campus projects.

If you can complete one or two projects during the undergraduate period, and then write a few SCI 2, 3, 4 papers, you can get extra points for going abroad or for postgraduate interviews.

Of course, if you can publish an SCI first-authored paper, even if you publish an article in the four districts, it will be a big plus.

Wei Xingsi took the initiative to explain to Xu Qiu: These four are sophomores and juniors in our school. They want to come to our research group for internships. I plan to divide each of you into organic and perovskite fields. You choose two people first. I will let Wu Feifei take the rest.

Okay. Xu Qiu nodded. When Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying came to Wei Xingsi's research group before, Teacher Wei basically would not refuse anyone who came, hoping that every student who came would stay and study in graduate school. There are so many to choose from.

Xu Qiu looked back and forth at the four juniors and girls, and at the same time secretly tested their proficiency in experimental skills with the system. Maybe there will be surprises.

Wei Xingsi introduced to the four undergraduates: This is Xu Qiu, who is in charge of the field of organic photovoltaics in the group. He is your senior brother. Come and introduce yourself to him.

After some introductions, Xu Qiu cooperated with the system and learned the basic information of the four of them.

Yin Houlang, male, slightly short in height, about 165, the lenses of the glasses are very thick, and he looks more like a schoolmaster, a sophomore, majoring in materials chemistry, with a GPA of 3.66, the first major in his major, CET-6 600+, planning to go abroad graduate school.

Deng Hu, male, as the name suggests, looks more majestic, with a clear Northeast accent, a junior, majoring in material physics, GPA 3.2, English CET-6 500+, planning to graduate in this school.

Yu Ya, sister, relatively thin, a junior, with a GPA of 3.3, majoring in material physics, English CET-6 480+, planning to guarantee graduate studies in this school.

Xu Xinjie, sister, tall and tall, from Shanghai, a sophomore, with a GPA of 3.1, majoring in materials chemistry, English CET-6 520+, planning to guarantee graduate studies in this school.

None of the four people's experimental skills are too brilliant, and the highest is only the third level, so there is not much reference value.

Xu Qiu first confirmed a quota, and that was Yin Houlang.

However, he really wanted to complain, the name was named, and the parents probably didn't travel back.

Although Yin Houlang is the only one among the four who plans to go abroad for graduate studies, most likely he wants to come over to do a few projects, get recommendation letters, and get a few SCI papers, and then run away.

But he is only a sophomore now, and he will graduate in about three years. Rounding up, isn’t he a master’s student? If he runs away, he will graduate with a master’s degree.

Most of those who intend to enter the scientific research circle actually start their preparations in their sophomore year.

Take Magic City Comprehensive University as an example. After finishing the hard courses such as Mathematical Analysis and University Physics in the freshman year, after the sophomore chooses majors and diverts, they are basically free, just in time to enter the research group to enrich themselves. Charge.

The reason why Wei Xingsi could not accept sophomore students before was purely because he had just returned to China not long ago, and he was not well-known in the department. Naturally, the scientific research activists who chose the sophomore group could not find him, but now the scientific research results are produced. The output was very large, which naturally attracted many people.

To be honest, there is not much difference between the other three people. They all plan to go to graduate school in this school. Their grade points and English scores are also similar, and there is no obvious difference in their experimental level.

Xu Qiu thought for a while, and felt that Xu Xinjie was better.

The main reason is that she is a sophomore. From the perspective of labor force, sophomores have a great advantage and can be squeezed for more time.

Except for the special system, and doctors, lawyers and other industries that require more experience, for most other industries, youth is capital and an advantage.

On the one hand, it is because technology is iterating very fast now, just like the computer industry, both new and old programmers must always learn cutting-edge knowledge, otherwise they will be eliminated, the younger you are, the higher your ability to learn.

On the other hand, when you are young, your body is also better. They are all brand new screws, so they can undertake higher-intensity work, and the 996 will not be crushed. When you are around 35 years old, the screws are rusted and slipped. The company needs to replace it with a new one.

There is a saying that goes well, although no one can stay young forever, there are always young people.

Of course, this sentence can barely hold true now, but it may not hold true in the next few decades.

Because the fertility rate is declining year by year, it has become a big social problem. In a few decades, there may not be so many young people.

It is not impossible that people need to work until they are 70 or 75 years old.

Wasn't there a joke before?

A scientific research institution: We have developed a drug that can extend the average human life span to 160 years.

Social animal: Then don't we have to retire at the age of 150?

A scientific research institution: ???

Longevity is naturally excellent for emperors, but it may not be a good thing for ordinary people.

Some people may say that when I was young, I struggled for 10, 20 or 30 years to achieve financial freedom, so I can enjoy the next few decades, or a hundred years.

That can only be said to be too naive. The reason why the mortgage is 30 years now is that the country has calculated that the effective use time of a screw is about 30 years.

Work at the age of 20-25, and retire at the age of 55-60, is it exactly 30-40 years?

If life is extended, a mortgage or something similar to a mortgage will take a person 100 years to pay.

As with most leeks, there is always a scythe that can cut you, and there is little choice.

However, having said that, work itself is very meaningful to a person.

If you don't have to work and enjoy yourself all the time, you may be useless.

The root cause of many rich second-generation people who have been exposed to drug abuse and promiscuity is that they don’t have to work and have nothing to do all day long. If the family gives a lot of money, they can’t just go out to find excitement.

Of course, things like the meaning of work cannot be deeply thought about. If you think too far, it will rise to a philosophical question: Why do people live? What is the meaning of living? Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

Returning to Caiyi 218, Xu Qiu made a decision: I choose Yin Houlang and Xu Xinjie.

After hearing the result, Yin Houlang and Xu Xinjie immediately looked very happy, while Yu Ya and Deng Hu were a little depressed.

It seemed that they had done their homework before coming here, and they knew where the thighs in the research group were.

Wei Xingsi nodded, looked at the four of them and asked, Do you have any questions?

The four students all shook their heads, expressing that they had no objection. In general, undergraduates in schools are relatively well-behaved and listen to teachers more. After all, none of them have been severely beaten by society.

Sometimes even dissent can be suppressed, ashamed to show it.

This is also one of the reasons why routine loans and campus loans used to be popular in colleges and universities.

However, Shanghai University has never heard of a student who was in the news because of the campus loan.

Wei Xingsi took out five boxes of honey citron tea from the refrigerator and distributed them out: Then Xu Qiu, show them around the lab and assign tasks along the way.

Xu Qiu nodded in response, and greeted Yin Houlang and others to the 216 laboratory next door.

Now the number of people in the research group has been expanded to 13 people, and some of them can’t sit down. Fortunately, undergraduates don’t come every day, so we can only get some chairs, squeeze them together, and make room for them.

Xu Qiu began to introduce to everyone: This is our laboratory in Handan Campus. It is a little small, so don't mind too much. This is mainly for the preparation of photovoltaic devices, and there is an organic synthesis laboratory in Zhangjiang. Now the school is going to move all the departments of science and engineering to Jiangwan, where we have allocated two laboratories of nearly 150 square meters, and the preliminary decoration has been completed...

Organic solar cell preparation process, including substrate cleaning, spin coating...

After the introduction, Xu Qiu handed over Yin Houlang to Wu Shengnan, who was mainly responsible for organic synthesis.

On the one hand, it can exercise Yin Houlang's ability and allow him to accumulate more experience in synthesis. On the other hand, organic synthesis is indeed short of manpower. If he works hard, he can be assigned a few topics to do, and it is better to write a few SCI papers. not difficult.

Wu Shengnan accepted Yin Houlang calmly.

Speaking of it, the postdoctoral senior sister usually looks calm, and it is rare to see her expressing very strong emotions.

The other Xu Xinjie, Xu Qiu handed over to Han Jiaying, this can be regarded as having a certain degree of selfishness, wanting to reduce the burden on the school girl, and Xu Xinjie is a girl, and the gender of the school girl is also very suitable.

Han Jiaying and Xu Xinjie chatted quickly.

This made Xu Qiu couldn't help feeling that girls are really wonderful creatures.

Xu Qiu didn't intend to train these two undergraduates by himself. After all, his status is different now, and he doesn't need to do it himself. It's better to manage the first level now, and it's easier. This is not an enterprise, and it needs to be flat. With centralized management, hierarchical progression is more effective.

The other two, Yu Ya and Deng Hu, were assigned to Wu Feifei.

Wu Feifei is now in her second Ph.D. and has two years left to graduate. At the same time, after Duan Yun graduates, she will be responsible for the two fields of perovskite and thermoelectricity. Both fields need to find successors.

It seems that Sun Wo can't take on the big responsibility. The two junior graduate students of the school are just right. It would be even better if Yu Ya and Deng Hu can fool a student with a straight doctorate.

PS: In February, a total of 1W2+ words were added in the first five days, and the average daily update was 8500+. The debts owed last month must have been paid off. Ask for a wave of monthly tickets, and find an opportunity to explode again next week.
