Chapter 274 Memory Palace
In the library, Wang Donglai put down the "Zizhi Tongjian" in his hand and focused on the system panel in his mind.
At the same time, the system prompt tone is still ringing.
"Ding dong! Players read the book "Zizhi Tongjian" and gain [Chinese] subject experience value +105, [History] subject experience value +110, [Politics] subject experience value +54."
< br>"Ding dong! Congratulations to the player for raising the [Chinese] subject level to LV8 and gaining the ability [Memory Palace]."
Two electronic mechanical prompts in succession, like the sound of nature, filled Wang Donglai's heart with joy.
With a thought in his mind, a virtual electronic screen suddenly appeared in the void in front of Wang Donglai.
It is the system panel that can be displayed.
Only Wang Donglai can see it, no one else can.
Wang Donglai only guessed that the specific technology used was related to brain neurons and knew nothing else.
[Memory Palace: Place the image of the original object and the image of the ability in each place sequentially. 】
The system’s explanation of [Memory Palace] is very simple, with only one sentence.
But this does not affect Wang Donglai's excitement.
He has heard of the name of [Memory Palace].
This word is often associated with photographic memory, and the effect it has is a higher stage of photographic memory.
Store all the recorded information in categories in your mind, like a palace.
In reality, there are also many people whose memories far exceed those of ordinary people, reaching an incomprehensible level. Among them is Dominic O'Brien, an eight-time world memory champion. With his own original 'Dominic System' swept the powerful opponents in the first World Memory Championship at that time and became the memory champion of that year and won eight consecutive championships.
The specific results are 26.8 seconds to remember the order of a deck of playing cards, 30 minutes to remember 2385 randomly generated numbers, and 1 hour to remember the atomic numbers and element symbols of 110 elements on the periodic table. As well as the element type plus the atomic weight accurate to four decimal places...
Such achievements abound in him.
In view of such a powerful ability, he is not only a praised master of memory, but also one of the most unpopular people in casinos in various countries.
Even in China, there are such strange people.
However, Wang Donglai knew that the [Memory Palace] he had obtained was different from what others understood.
Because they just borrowed this name, but they really have such magical abilities.
After raising the [Chinese] subject to LV8, Wang Donglai did not stop, but chose to continue reading. He planned to raise the levels of [Mathematics] and [English] subjects.
However, the next change made him somewhat unexpected.
After possessing the [Memory Palace] ability, Wang Donglai started reading again, and his efficiency became much faster.
In just a few days, he upgraded the subjects of [Mathematics] and [English].
However, no new abilities and skills were obtained.
......
The school-enterprise cooperation agreement between Wang Donglai and Tangdu Jiaotong University also started in a low-key manner.
From the beginning, the students and professors of Tangdu Jiaotong University were surprised.
It’s really because Wang Donglai’s experimental equipment is too heroic.
In the end, it reached Xu Songyao’s ears.
“Our school is not as good as the instruments in your laboratory.”
Xu Songyao looked at the instruments Wang Donglai bought at a large price in the laboratory with joy in his eyes. , said with some emotion.
As a scientific researcher, although I am now a principal and have taken an administrative position, my deep-rooted love for scientific research still exists.
When I see these sophisticated instruments, I naturally fall in love with them.
“These instruments cost more than 100 million US dollars.” Wang Donglai introduced to Xu Songyao from the side.
If you don’t do scientific research, you have no idea that many instruments may look inconspicuous, but they are extremely expensive.
This is especially true in some precision fields.
Just a microscope, there are hundreds or thousands of dollars used in middle and high school chemistry, there are also electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes commonly used in laboratories.
When talking about these instruments, Wang Donglai's tone was quite complicated.
Because of the current market, high-end scientific research equipment is monopolized by foreign countries.
The domestic substitution rate is horribly low.
And for research and to catch up with advanced technology, I have to buy it.
Of course, there is value in buying these expensive instruments.
Just like cryo-electron microscopy, once a SCI is photographed, there are people in China who use cryo-electron microscopy to continuously brush up the CNS and gain great fame.
The price of cryo-EM is as high as 10 million US dollars.
It is conceivable how much wealth the West has harvested by relying on a series of combinations of academic monopoly and technological monopoly.
“Okay, I won’t read anymore!”
"The development of the school in the past few years was not good, with limited funds and insufficient attention to experimental equipment. However, it should be much better next year. The province has decided to increase funding allocation and support for the school."
"This can be regarded as thanks to you, and the subsequent students will enjoy the blessing."
Xu Songyao did not shy away from it, and directly told Wang Donglai this secret matter.
Wang Donglai naturally understood the meaning of Xu Songyao's words.
This brings us to the birth of Tangdu Jiaotong University, which was established when Shanghai Jiaotong University moved westward.
However, due to economic development, the development of Tangdu Jiaotong University was not satisfactory, and there was even the idea of relocating to the southern provinces.
However, it was stopped by the Qin Province and the competent authorities. After that, Tangdu’s support for Tangdu Jiaotong University weakened a lot.
This has also caused Tangdu Jiaotong University to gradually decline in the ranking of domestic universities.
Until Wang Donglai appeared, he single-handedly took Tangdu Jiaotong University to take off.
After Xu Songyao became the principal, he not only carried out certain reforms within the school, but also strongly emphasized the spirit of westward migration in his communication with Tangdu City, in order to show that his family would take root in Tangdu.
Coupled with Wang Donglai's factors, Qin Province will increase funding allocation and support for Tang Capital Jiaotong University.
“I am also a part of the school, but I don’t need to make the distinction so clearly.”
“The school is proud of me, and I have also received many growth opportunities through the school. This is a win-win situation. . ”
Wang Donglai has never felt that he was a benefactor of Tangdu Jiaotong University, or that he was an important reason for the rise of Tangdu Jiaotong University.
He still understands this truth.
What's more, Jiaotong University, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, wanted history and status. With a collective of tens of thousands of people, it was naturally impossible for everyone to recognize Wang Donglai's achievements.
Rather than wait until later when acrimony arises, it is better to position yourself well at the beginning to avoid indistinguishability between the individual and the collective, causing conflicts.
Xu Songyao nodded and talked about another thing. In any case, since Xu Songyao has served as the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, his status is different.
It’s impossible to come here to talk to Wang Dong just because the instruments in the laboratory are better than those in the school.
"The journal "Mathematical Futures" has become an instant hit, but I think you still have to come up with an idea about what to do next!"
Xu Songyao has regarded this journal as his most important thing. One thing is that I have made up my mind to do a good job in this journal during my term of office, and at least have a firm foothold in the country.
Although by publishing Wang Dong's proof paper proving Goldbach's conjecture, it got an almost perfect start.
However, whether it is Xu Songyao or other members of the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at Tangdu Jiaotong University, they all know that the real test moment will come next.
If the high-quality paper level cannot be maintained, it will be equivalent to declaring the failure of "Mathematical Future".
With Goldbach's conjecture proving that the paper is the first, the quality of the subsequent papers cannot be too low.
However, how many papers in the entire academic community can compare to the proof of Goldbach's conjecture?
These big guys have no reason to post on the newly established "Mathematical Future".
To describe the situation of the journal "Mathematical Futures" in one sentence, that is, the quality of the papers that want to be published is not enough, and the authors will not choose the journal "Mathematical Futures" for papers that can be published.
In addition, because Wang Donglai said in public that he wanted to lead "The Future of Mathematics" to become a top international journal in mathematics, the development of "The Future of Mathematics" has been invisible to countless people. .
Some people are watching the joke, some are sneering secretly, and some are looking forward to it.
Internationally, several review editors from the editorial department of "Yearbook of Mathematics" even bluntly expressed their disapproval of "The Future of Mathematics".
Because the emergence of a top academic journal has passed the test of time and requires a large number of high-quality papers.
Rather than relying on a certain genius, a high-quality paper can succeed.
In the past few days, Jiaotong University in the capital of Tang Dynasty has also thought of various ways. First, it asked domestic scholars for manuscripts.
However, there is no academic paper that can satisfy them.
Then I also sent invitations to international scholars and raised the fee standards, but there were almost no high-quality academic papers received in my mailbox.
So, after knowing this situation, Xu Songyao found Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai was not surprised that Xu Songyao mentioned the journal.
Because this was what he expected.
After he came up with the idea of creating China's top journal in the field of mathematics, he thought about it a lot.
After careful consideration, he made this decision.
In other words, he had anticipated and prepared for the current situation.
"Uncle Xu, I proposed the establishment of this journal, and becoming a top international journal is both the school's choice and my idea. Now that I encounter problems, I will naturally not sit idly by and ignore them."
“Isn’t it just that the next journals don’t have enough worthy papers? Leave this matter to me.”
Wang Donglai didn't say much, just to reassure Xu Songyao.
When Xu Songyao heard that Wang Donglai agreed, he immediately showed a high degree of trust.
"Okay, I can rest assured if I leave it to you."
"If you ask me, it would be better for you to hold several positions. Chief researcher of the Institute for Advanced Study, plus " The editor-in-chief or the deputy director of "Mathematics for the Future" will do. I won't bother you with ordinary little things. I will only come to you when something big happens."
"What do you think?"< br>
Xu Songyao still didn't give up the idea of letting Wang Donglai take the position, so he asked aloud at this moment.
Hearing Xu Songyao's words, Wang Donglai suddenly showed a wry smile and said loudly: "Uncle Xu, I really don't have this ambition!"
"No matter what, I am still Tang Sir, if the Institute of Advanced Mathematics or "Mathematics Future" encounters problems, I will not just sit back and take up my position."
Wang Donglai spoke tactfully, but his tone was extremely firm.
“Alas...”
Xu Songyao sighed inwardly, a little disappointed, but his expression did not change much.
"Okay, since you don't want to, then I won't say anything anymore."
"However, I have a small suggestion, please listen to it."
Xu Songyao did not pretend to be the principal of his university. Even if Wang Donglai rejected his kindness, he did not get angry or unhappy because of it.
Even if there was a proposal at this time, it was in a discussion tone.
This is probably something that would never happen in other universities.
You treat me with sincerity, and I will treat you with sincerity.
Xu Songyao did not change his attitude towards Wang Donglai because of his change in status.
Wang Donglai will naturally not change his attitude towards Xu Songyao.
"Uncle Xu, just say it."
Xu Songyao nodded and said aloud: "The mathematics major in our school was not very strong before, but now with you, it can be regarded as the trump card major in our school."
"But, can you? If it continues, it depends on the school’s next talent echelon training.”
“The Institute of Advanced Mathematics can only undertake part of it, and the rest can only be taken from those who have just entered or are currently studying. Students have been selected.”
“My idea is, if you have time, can you arrange some public courses or professional courses to take the following students?”
“ Of course, if you feel that public courses or professional courses are a waste of time, you can also bring graduate students directly, and I can make the decision and allocate more graduate student places for you.”
"You are only twenty now, and you still have a lot of time. If you can bring out some students, it will be of great benefit to your future academic development."
"My suggestion is Think about this, what do you think?”
Xu Songyao’s words were almost clear, so Wang Donglai would not fail to understand.
If you accept Xu Songyao's proposal, you only need to bring out some graduate students, and then there will be an academic group with him as the core at Tangdu Jiaotong University.
The further time goes by, the higher his academic status, the larger the group and the greater its energy.
To be honest, Xu Songyao's words can be said to be full of sincerity and speak from the bottom of his heart.
If it wasn’t for a close relationship, I wouldn’t have said that at all.
Wang Donglai was grateful and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Xu for your advice. Forget about professional courses and graduate students. I don't have this idea yet, but I can teach a public course. I will pay more attention then. We will strive to cultivate several talents in the field of mathematics for the school."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news!" Xu Songyao agreed with a look of joy on his face and an excited tone.
To be honest, when he made this proposal, he was not very sure that Wang Donglai would agree.
It was just because of his status as a principal and an elder that he specifically mentioned this matter.
And the results were great.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If Tangdu Jiaotong University can produce a few more talents in the field of mathematics under the leadership of Wang Donglai, it will be really different.
