Chapter 141 Returning to China to Engage in Scientific Research
Wang Zhiqi used to be a psychiatrist.
Chinese people are not as concerned about mental health as foreigners, so the income of domestic psychiatrists is not high, and there is very little gray income.
Compared with other specialties, there are commissions for prescribing medicines in internal medicine, red envelopes for surgical surgeons, and there are no surgeries in psychiatry. Many daily medications are controlled by the state, and it is impossible to prescribe more medicines.
Later, with the development of the Internet and the emergence of online games, Wang Zhiqi discovered a new world, which is to quit Internet addiction!
In 2001, the game "Legend" swept the country. I don't know how many people were addicted to it, and many students skipped classes to play Legend.
Many scholars have also begun to describe addiction to online games as a mental illness.
Since there is a disease, it needs to be treated. Wang Zhiqi, a psychiatrist, finally has a role to play. After treating several patients, Wang Zhiqi also realized the business opportunities behind quitting Internet addiction.
You can really make money by quitting Internet addiction. A course of two to three months of treatment costs more than 10,000 yuan, and parents still flock to it.
You must know that the monthly income of many state-owned enterprise workers in small cities at that time was only more than a thousand yuan.
Wang Zhiqi, sensing a business opportunity, opened this moral education academy to help children overcome Internet addiction.
The business of the Internet addiction treatment school is also really good. This year is not over yet, and the income is already close to seven figures.
In order to attract more parents to send their children to cure Internet addiction, Wang Zhiqi will submit articles to newspapers from time to time. The content is about how harmful online games are; online games are electronic heroin; online games will destroy children's lives; Internet use is a disease that needs to be treated quickly, etc.
At the same time, he will also regularly hold lectures, inviting parents to come and tell real cases of those addicted to online games in schools that quit using the Internet. Basically, one lecture can attract several parents to send their children.
Now, when Wang Zhiqi saw the news that Zhang Wei won the WCG, it was reported as a positive image that brought glory to the country. Naturally, he couldn't bear it.
This is not only a battle of values, but also a battle of business experience.
Must criticize!
“Online game addiction is comparable to drugs, and a social crisis is imminent!”
Wang Zhiqi wrote such a title, feeling that it lacked pertinence, so he crossed out the title and wrote again Next:
“Teenagers are addicted to online games, their studies are ruined, and their family relationships are broken. Who will save them?”
Looking at this title, Wang Zhiqi still shook his head dissatisfied. He felt that the title was too big and did not touch on the theme. He wrote another one:
"Online game champion? Or a spokesperson for spiritual opium?" Our teenagers are headed for destruction!”
After reading this title repeatedly, Wang Zhiqi nodded with satisfaction.
This title looks scary enough and attractive enough. And it also successfully brought together online games and opium.
The Opium War was the beginning of modern China's humiliation. The common people must be very disgusted with opium. As long as you label this game champion as an "opium spokesperson", even if you are bringing honor to the country, even if you are doing it for the country, You have made a breakthrough for China, but you are also a scum of the nation!
Then Wang Zhiqi picked up his pen and wrote more than a thousand words eloquently. Not only does it directly regard online game competitions as a spiritual opium invasion, but it also portrays Zhang Wei as an accomplice in torturing Chinese youth.
After finishing writing, Wang Zhiqi called the editor of a familiar newspaper.
Wang Zhiqi’s Internet addiction treatment school will often advertise in newspapers, so he can be regarded as the God of Wealth of the newspaper. If the God of Wealth wants to publish an article, the newspaper will naturally not dare to refuse.
......
At 12:30 noon, Zhang Wei was still eating breakfast when his cell phone suddenly rang. He took a look and saw that it was a call from China. The area code showed that it was from Beijing.
"Not many people in China know my mobile phone number in the United States!" Zhang Wei thought to himself, and then picked up the phone.
"Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Wei!"
"Zhang Wei, it's me!" Principal Gu's voice came from the receiver.
"Principal Gu! Why is it you! Why did you call me?" Zhang Wei silently calculated the time in his heart. At this time, it should be half past five in the morning in China.
“The old man called me so early, I don’t know what’s going on.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei asked: "Principal Gu, it's only after five o'clock over there, right? If you want to see me, just call me later."
"I'm old and can't sleep anymore. I woke up at five o'clock!" Principal Gu then asked, "Are you still used to living and studying in the United States?"
"I'm quite adaptable," Zhang Wei replied.
“What about diet? Americans eat all Western food, including hamburgers and French fries every day, which is not nutritious. Even if there are Chinese restaurants, they are all Western-style Chinese food, such as General Tso’s Chicken. , it’s also different from our Chinese food!”
“You really hit the mark. The food in the United States is really much worse than that in China. Everything is either fried or grilled, and it was quite fresh when we first arrived. , as time goes by, I get tired of it!”
"I'm just saying, there's nothing good to do in the United States. It's not as comfortable as we live in China." Principal Gu then asked: "Then are you homesick?"
"You will definitely be homesick! People How can you miss home in a foreign country without any relatives?" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
“If you’re homesick, why not come back early?”
“It shouldn’t be necessary. I still have a month here, so I’ll pass it by just being patient!”
Principal Gu said, "There's only one month left anyway, why should I endure it! Just come back early. The school will book a flight for you and buy first class!"
"I didn't have first class when I came here, so how come I have first class when I go back? Principal, isn't your courtesy too obvious? Are you afraid that I won't go back if I stay in the United States?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I'm a little worried!" Principal Gu sighed lightly, and then said: "But it would be beneficial to have you come back early. Didn't I promise you to approve scientific research projects before? It's almost the end of the year, and next year's scientific research project applications are starting to be included in the plan.
If you come back early, you will have more time to apply for scientific research projects. After all, the project application still needs time to be approved. After the national appropriation is approved, we still have to go through the process
If we can submit the project in November, we will definitely complete the process in December. If we are lucky, next year's scientific research funding will be available around New Year's Day. It can be allocated. So you'd better come back before November. "So, you mean, if I go back and apply for the project early, I can get the funds for next year?" Zhang Wei asked.
"That's what I mean. Of course, there are also scientific research funds in the school that can be mobilized, but when you get funds from the state, you should be more generous after all. And if you get scientific research funds from the state, if it is not enough, the school can also allocate part of it to supplement you."< br>
Zhang Wei opened the calendar and looked at it, and then said: "November 1st this year is Halloween, which is still a very important holiday in the United States. Do you think this will work? Let me experience American Halloween. The atmosphere is great, I’ll go back again!”
“That’s okay! Then I’ll book a flight for you on November 2nd?”
“Let’s go on November 4th!” : "Ye Haotian's birthday is November 3rd. I'll celebrate his birthday before going back!"
......
In the Department of Computer Science at Berkeley, Professor Adelman seemed a little surprised when he learned that Zhang Wei was going back.
"Zhang, do you really want to go back? In fact, you can stay at Berkeley, come to our computer department and become my student directly." Professor Aardman said.
It is not shameful at all to be a student who is a Turing Award winner. Countless graduate students want to be one but cannot be!
Students have always begged their teachers to accept them, but how can a teacher ask his students to learn from him! The Turing Award winner personally invited Zhang Wei to be his student, which is definitely a sign of respect.
"Professor Aardman, thank you for your kindness, but after all, I am a student at Tsinghua University, and I will definitely go back!"
"You can transfer directly to Berkeley. If it is because of financial problems, I can help you apply for a full scholarship! Although the scholarship application time has passed now, but for special cases, I will go to the principal and there will definitely be no problem! ”
Adelman is not talking big words. Based on the zero-knowledge proof paper, Zhang Wei received a full scholarship to the computer science department of any school in the United States. Not to mention the scientific research results of graphene!
Even if these two papers were used as doctoral thesis, no professor would dare to say NO!
Faced with Professor Aardman’s request to stay, Zhang Wei had no choice but to thank him again, and then said a bunch of New Year greetings before saying goodbye and leaving.
Looking at Zhang Wei’s leaving figure, Professor Adelman sighed with regret.
"He was not left behind after all!" Goldwasser said next to him.
Aardman said: "Perhaps such a genius should not belong to us, he belongs to the whole world!"
......
Downstairs of the dormitory, The oil man waved at Zhang Wei reluctantly.
“Remember to come to Saudi Arabia and find me, I’ll treat you to a camel ride!”
"Just riding a camel is not enough. You have to ask me to go to Bahrain to let myself go and let me see the happiness of rich people!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go to Bahrain and let ourselves go!" The oil man nodded.
Then Zhang Wei looked at Ye Haotian again, and then told him: "You have to stay for another three weeks. Take care and pay attention to safety! Just stay in school if you have nothing to do, and stay with your classmates when you go out. Don't run around alone, America is not peaceful! Didn't someone shoot a gun near the school on Halloween a few days ago? "
"Don't worry, I will just stay in the school. I will definitely do it. I'll come back to see you intact," Ye Haotian said.
Zhang Wei stuffed another roll of U.S. dollars into Ye Haotian's trouser pocket, and then said: "Enjoy first class when you come back!"
Ye Haotian was not polite and happily stuffed the US dollars into his pocket.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Everyone, see you later!" Zhang Wei waved his hands to everyone, and then got into the van of the bearded driver.
......
On the plane, Zhang Wei was holding a paper in his hand, which he just got from the devil yesterday.
After obtaining a perfect English proficiency in TOEFL, it became much easier for Zhang Wei to read papers. He only needed to look up some professional words.
You no longer need the thickest dictionary to look up words. Zhang Wei bought an English electronic dictionary in the United States. The vocabulary contained in it is much greater than that of a dictionary.
When using an electronic dictionary, the advantage of phonetic text is reflected. What is introduced in the electronic dictionary is equivalent to the encyclopedia content of the word.
Just like the word "graphene", in the Chinese dictionary, you can find "stone", "ink", and "ene", but you can't find "graphene" ". If you want to know what graphene is specifically, you have to check the encyclopedia.
But in English, if you look up the word "Graphene", the English dictionary will tell you directly that it is a new material with a single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure of carbon atoms stacked up. It will even tell you what properties graphene has.
So the English dictionary can actually be used as an encyclopedia.
It is not unreasonable for high-end scientific research to be done in English. Not only because English is more widely used around the world, but also because English is more direct in expressing the meaning of words. A word is one thing. In this regard, it is difficult for people who are not engaged in high-end academics to understand this.
The plane flew for several hours, and Zhang Wei had already understood the content of the paper. He returned to the first page of the paper and looked at the title of the paper:
"Suppression of RNArecognition by Toll -likereceptors:theimpactofnucleosidemodificationandtheevolutionaryoriginofRNA.
Inhibition of RNA recognition by Toll-like receptors: The impact of nucleoside modification and the evolutionary origin of RNA. My next project is to do this. Let’s do this!”
