Chapter 74 HKUST: Super Double!
Three hours later.
A figure quickly ran out of the dormitory building, ran to a big tree and took off his mask.
With a sound of "yue", he started to retching.
Behind him, Xu Yun, Director Guan and others also walked out of the dormitory building with tired faces.
Three hours ago, after arriving at the 'crime scene', Xu Yun and others immediately started cleaning up.
Compared with the complex and numerous scenes, their method of cleaning up the scene is very simple:
The Agricultural Science Institute on campus provides a large vacuum cleaner, which is said to be a device developed to clean up locust corpses and can suck in a lot of large things.
Xu Yun and the others retained the front suction port, and the rear half of the storage box was transformed into an easy-to-untie sack.
One person held the front head, and the other blocked the sack and sucked up the cockroach corpse directly to the ground.
When one sack is full, it is put aside tightly, and then another one is added, again and again to contain the cockroach corpses.
Of course.
This process seems simple to say, but it is still very challenging to do.
After all, the bodies of many cockroaches are no longer complete. From time to time, some white eggs or sticky liquid can be seen, which is quite disgusting even through protective clothing.
Occasionally, there will be a few tenacious cockroaches jumping up and heading straight for your face.
Even if there is a mask to block this situation, it still has a strong impact on ordinary people.
Therefore, Xu Yun and others worked for a full three hours before finally removing the cockroach corpses - from the perspective of the entire process, this was only the first step.
The subsequent sterilization, cleaning and placement of students are also quite troublesome issues.
As for the achievements of Xu Yun and others
See those fifty-seven sacks over there? (Note: I called a friend with a Ph.D. who studies insects. He said that a 180-pound sack can hold about 1,500 American cockroaches, so fifty-seven bags should be reasonable.)
Xu Yun left the remaining transfer matters to Director Guan, and he quickly walked towards Tian Liangwei who was waiting aside.
At this time, Tian Liangwei was chatting with someone. Xu Yun greeted him first and back:
"Teacher, I'm out."
Then he looked at the man next to the teacher, hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"Hello, Principal Zhang."
The full name of President Zhang mentioned by Xu Yun is Zhang Rui. He is the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences and concurrently serves as the executive vice president of HKUST.
Zhang Rui is also one of the local mathematicians who have the best chance of winning the Wolf Prize today. He graduated from the Krypton Institute of Finance at Zhangshuo University.
Therefore, students from the Mathematical College generally call him Dean Zhang, while students from the outer college call him Principal Zhang.
Zhang Rui's duties are mainly responsible for miscellaneous daily life on campus, which is basically the food, clothing, housing and transportation of students and employees. Therefore, he is also called the steward of HKUST by some faculty and staff.
There is such a big incident happening in Building 14, involving the placement of students, so it is not surprising that Zhang Rui, the main responsible person, appears here.
After Xu Yun finished greeting, Tian Liangwei glanced at Zhang Rui and asked:
"Xiao Xu, has everything been cleaned up in the dormitory?"
"Well, it's all cleaned up, and the only thing left is disinfection."
".Can you still hold on now? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Xu Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood:
"No matter how tired you are, just say what you have to say."
There was something in his tutor's words, and Zhang Rui was also present, so the content of the next conversation was self-evident.
Describe it in four words
Accountability and punishment!
Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.
Although strictly speaking, the main responsibility for this accident lies with the faulty operation of Chang Licheng and Ye Guohong, if the responsibility is really to be held, he, the initiator, must not be able to escape.
Once the punishment is imposed, some subsequent matters may be more troublesome, and it may even be recorded in the file. In any case, it is a troublesome matter.
Of course.
It's not like Xu Yun was totally without confidence and just let others take advantage of him.
Although the accident in Building 14 was beyond everyone's expectation, it was a coincidence that proved how powerful the effect of imidacloprid is. It is impossible for HKUST not to see its commercial value.
Therefore, if there is any financial penalty, the worst thing is to advance some future income by yourself, and it is unlikely that there will be sanctions such as dropping out of school or staying in school.
It’s just that most of the time it’s not a good feeling in terms of face, and you might even get pointed at or something.
Just as Xu Yun's mind was racing, Tian Liangwei spoke with a serious expression:
"Xiao Xu, you have witnessed this incident. You should know that in the few hours from early morning to now, HKUST has suffered a loss of manpower and material resources.
Outside the school, we are facing a certain amount of social pressure from public opinion, which even involves the issue of the school’s image”
Xu Yun listened quietly, waiting for the next punishment results.
"So after the unanimous decision of the school leaders, we finally designated a solution-to carry out a campus-level cockroach eradication in several designated places in the East District, and broadcast it live on the entire network!"
"No problem, I accept the school's treatment of me"
Xu Yun was nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he was taking all the responsibilities.
As a result, as I was talking, I suddenly felt something was wrong:
"Uh, wait, what did you say?"
Tian Liangwei finally lost his tense expression this time, burst out laughing, and patted Xu Yun on the shoulder:
"I said that the school is going to carry out another large-scale sterilization, which will be broadcast live on the entire network. You guys, hurry up and produce some fifth-generation glue bait for me in the past few days. Do you understand?"
Looking at the confused Xu Yun, Zhang Rui also laughed.
Just listen to him cheerfully add:
"Comrade Xiao Xu, actually at the beginning, the school leaders did have some headaches about this matter.
Cockroaches flocking to the dormitory are not negative news, but they obviously have nothing to do with positive news.
At the same time, if you don't refute the rumors, a bunch of people say you are pretending to be dead and dare not respond. When it comes to criticism, they start to speculate on conspiracy theories. As for refuting the rumors, they don't know how to make an announcement.
So when several leaders put it together, they concluded that since there were so many cockroaches in Building 14 alone, we might as well do a targeted disinfecting in the East District.
By the way, it will be broadcast live on the entire network and convert a wave of traffic.
In the end, this should be considered a positive topic, and it may be useful for next year's admissions - who can resist a campus without cockroaches, right? ”
After listening to Zhang Rui's words, Xu Yun immediately stayed at the scene.
Follow the instructions of the teacher and Zhang Rui.
Not only is HKUST not prepared to punish itself, it is even prepared to make a big backhand?
After a while.
Xu Yun's heart suddenly surged with quite complicated emotions, and he was filled with emotion.
Friends who have studied at HKUST should all know that the school motto of HKUST has a total of eight words:
Red expertise and expertise go hand in hand, integrating theory and practice.
Li here refers to theory, which not only refers to book knowledge, but also refers to scientific values, outlook on life and world view, and also refers to principles.
And reality refers to practice and reality.
Concepts must be combined with reality and in line with the times, and cannot be complacent.
Zhang Rui, or rather the decision of the school leaders, is undoubtedly the best interpretation of the school motto.
Xu Yun thought of a piece of news he had seen before:
About a year or two ago, a freshman girl from Shangdu Normal University drew 30,000 kilograms of watermelon at a Hema Fresh event. She originally planned to distribute it to the entire school.
At that time, the school’s Tieba, Weibo, and Penguin Group were all discussing this matter, and related topics were trending on the Internet every three days.
There were even students from some surrounding schools who said they were going to ‘grab watermelons’ that day, and almost the entire Internet was looking forward to that day.
The result?
Such a good traffic monetization activity was abruptly rejected by the school during the delivery process. In desperation, the girls had no choice but to give watermelons to bus drivers across the city.
At that time, Shangdu Normal University was criticized for this incident and became a hot topic, so it had no choice but to initiate demotion and review.
A God-given opportunity to earn steady traffic suddenly turned into negative marketing. In the end, when the first-class admission score increased the following year, the provincial admission score of Shangdu Normal University dropped by 23 points.
But today's HKUST has shown its unique side.
Not only was Xu Yun exempted from the punishment he had received, but he also doubled his backhand, using offense instead of defense, intending to make big news.
True.
Issues such as the location of follow-up activities, prevention and control methods, and how not to affect students still need to be discussed extremely seriously, but judging from HKUST's actions alone, it is undoubtedly a very popular approach. For such an open school, no wonder so many people yearn for it!
