Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

State support for scientific research is indeed unequivocal.

In order not to delay the time of the Ark, or to show the leader that he was working hard, the day after the meeting with Lu Lao, the Ark received a call from Secretary Liu.

Interesting, too. The number of times Ark and Secretary Liu have met, one hand can count, but every time he meets, he can easily create the illusion that they are familiar.

After a few cold sentences, Secretary Liu made an appointment with him on the phone.

That afternoon, Ark Boat met Secretary Liu Zhengye Zhao - a man with glasses who looked very Sven.

“Hello Professor Lu, I am Secretary Zhao Zhengye of Secretary Liu, you can call me Zhao.” He shook his hand and Secretary Zhao was polite.

Releasing his hand, Ark chuckled and said: "You're older than me, I'll call you Zhao, let's call you Secretary Zhao. ”

“Then do as you say," Secretary Zhao made a gesture with a smile, “this way please. ”

Drive the ark next to the high-tech development park.

After finding a place to stop the car, Secretary Zhao took out a map with a circle, pointed to the marked area, and said to the Ark.

“Here is a conceptual diagram of the Xianlin University City High-tech Development Zone. The first phase of the project has been completed and the second phase will be completed within one year. As the policy has just emerged, only 13 research units are currently accommodated throughout the development area, and overall there is still a lot of free space. ”

“There are several nice office buildings not far from the MRT station and they are still idle so you can let me know if you see anything. ”

The Ark shook its head and said: "The nanomaterial experiments I did were very precise, and the construction standards of the general office building were very difficult to meet the experimental requirements. I hope you can help me find a vacant lot, and I will contact the Engineer myself to carry out the construction. ”

After listening to the Ark, Secretary Zhao nodded: “No problem, there are lots of land here that have not yet been sold. If you see anything you can tell me, I will inform the secretary for you. ”

After studying the chart for a while, the ark eventually chose a good looking plot of land, covering 10.1 acres, as the site for the R&D center.

And his instincts proved to be quite accurate.

Secretary Zhao drove him to the scene to take a look around. Whether it's nearby traffic or the environment, it's pretty good, it's a good place to do research.

As for the specific construction plan, he would have commissioned Wyatt, Sky Technology's manager, to bid for the project and hire experts to evaluate the engineering standards, which were troublesome things to worry about without an ark.

On the other hand, under the State subsidy policy, substantial concessions were granted on board the Ark.

On the University City side, nearby prices are generally over 30,000, and developers tend to take over 7 million acres of land.

According to Lu Lao's commitment, if the Ark simply ensures 200 million RMB of investment, the state will subsidize 30% of the land, and if it invests more than 400 million RMB, the subsidy will double. The original intention of the ship was to invest $100 million, and the subsidy was naturally based on the largest standard.

The price given by the City Council to the Ark itself was five million acres per acre of floor, plus State subsidies, which actually cost him only about two million acres.

And in that way, he could invest more money in equipment and experimental budgets.

After a paragraph on the location of the Institute,

The Ark called Wyatt, and the rest would come from the starry tech side to make contact with Jinling Municipal Government and the contractor, without him having to worry about the trivial things himself.

As for the period before the Institute was built, the Ark had to borrow the Golden Dale site first. Fortunately, in the new campus, there are a lot of experimental buildings that haven't been equipped yet, and Kim Dae is willing to help him.

For this reason, Dean Li of the compound, even herself, took a landing boat and picked out a laboratory site on the campus of Golden University.

The two walked and chatted on campus.

Dean Lee asked with a smile, "Everyone said Princeton is gathering the smartest minds in the world. Professor Lu has been working in Princeton for almost a year. How do you feel about what you see over there? ”

After a moment of reflection, the ark said, "My greatest feeling is unfortunate. ”

Dean Li accidentally said: "Oh? What a pity. ”

Ark laughed and said, "Just say what I feel personally. In undergraduate education, Princeton University's freshman brain is not much better than the genius who just passed the college entrance exam and scored more than a hundred points above a line. At least in high school education, we are not lagging behind, and we can even say we have our own strengths. ”

After a pause, the ark continued.

“However, the gap between the two will continue to widen from the undergraduate stage onwards. And not just at the individual level, but as a whole. At the master's level, comparability is already difficult. ”

Dean Li said helplessly: "Professor Lu, this comparison is so unfair. Princeton's undergraduate education is top-notch in the world, let alone ours, and even Harvard and MIT have difficulty comparing it to undergraduate education. ”

The Ark laughed: "Yeah, so I just feel sorry for it. ”

After a pause, he ended this somewhat heavy topic and continued.

“Actually, I've always had the idea of building an institute of higher learning next to the University of Kingston, following Princeton's model. ”

Dean Li hesitated: "This is a good idea, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to make it happen. ”

The ark nodded: “You're right. ”

Duplicating the success of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies is not that simple.

If you just build a building next to it, hire some researchers to do research, and hang a teaching post at Kim Dae next to it, it's probably just some form of imitation.

The ultimate outcome of such an institute of higher learning, at best, would be the development of a post-doctoral site at Golden University, or a second postgraduate institute, which would not make any sense, but would rather waste a great deal of resources.

Dean Li: “Since its inception, Pu Gao has been a platonic research institution. To be honest, this idealized research institution is very difficult to survive in the country. And even if it survives, it's hard to get results. ”

“Try it slowly, maybe because I'm younger, I'm still optimistic about my abilities," Ark chuckled, continuing in a joking tone, “Otherwise this is not open yet, simply call the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials. ”

“Sure, you don't mind letting us get this light on," laughed Richter Haha. "Naturally, we're welcome with our hands up! Kim Dae happens to be working on a Computing Materials Department. Why don't you work part-time as a department director? How many spikes did I pick for you to cultivate? ”

The Ark boat also laughed: “The department director still doesn't have to. I'm afraid that a man who can't stand it will ignore all your talents in the asylum to do the math. ”

“That's no good. I'm not buying or selling at a loss! ”

Both are bragging with a joke, and no one takes these words seriously.

However, while that had been said in a joking tone, after hearing President Li's proposal, the Ark could not help but reflect seriously on the issue.

The battlefield is the best battlefield, and this national action in the field of new energy is not only a congressional battle against photovoltaic materials, lithium-sulfur batteries and other technologies, but also an opportunity to cultivate research-based talent.

He doesn't have to replicate the Princeton Institute of Higher Studies model entirely, and can figure out a model for his own domestic academic environment.

If the model proved to be viable, he would try to extend it to areas such as mathematics and physics.

Whether it succeeds or not, it is a meaningful thing.

Thinking about it, the ark said in a half-joke tone: "Then I'll have to ask for something.”

Dean Li said generously: "Tell me what you want! ”

The ark said only one word.

“Man!”
