Rebirth of Northland Technology - 638 Chapter 620

“Wow…”

The sound of a girl crying came from the table by the door, it was Yun Li.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, you should be happy!”

Professor Wang Wenfang quickly walked over and took the man in his arms.

“Ah! …Ah! …”

The cries got louder and louder.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, be good…

What are you doing, Gao Yi?

Why aren’t you coaxing your girlfriend, why are you just standing there?”

“Let her cry for a while, it will be fine.”

Gao Yi knew why his girlfriend was crying, and to be honest, he wanted to cry.

“What kind of words are these? Who are you to be a man?”

Professor Wang was angry.

“No, no, I’m much better.” Yunli slowly eased up. “I was just happy.”

Realizing that everyone was watching, she was embarrassed, and her agitated mood slowly calmed down.

“It’s good to be happy, it’s good to be happy. Have some apples, and have peace in the year.

It’s almost New Year’s Eve.

Yo, no, it’s already New Year’s Eve!”

The clock on the wall had just pointed to 12, the beginning of a new year.

The stadium’s celebratory fireworks were now at their peak. tide.

Numerous glowing paintballs rose into the sky, whistling into the starry sky, and then exploded simultaneously in the sky above the school.

The large campus was enveloped in a colorful sky.

Not only the university, but the entire city was celebrating the moment.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers resounded in the sky, rising and falling, unceasingly.

With 1995, a new future was in store. A new chapter of history was opening.

——–

The fireworks and firecrackers outside the window had already stopped when the hands reached two o’clock.

The snow-covered campus was quiet.

Sleepiness finally overwhelmed the excited and celebrating crowd, and the lab gradually fell silent.

The crowd, who had witnessed history, was reluctant to leave, so they sat quietly. They just sat there quietly, watching the ever-beating light on the microscope screen, dazed.

Yawning is contagious, and soon the yawns were in unison.

“What now? Leave the stuff here? Or do you need to put someone on duty here?”

Precious samples, this is the only one currently available.

“I’ll stay, you guys go home first. Ask the security office for a car to take you home. Tomorrow morning, oh, this morning, all come early and we’ll do the follow-up experiments.”

Graphene had been discovered, and the next step was to learn about its various properties.

The substance that had been debated for decades as to whether it existed or not was finally unveiled.

The hunt is on. A rare opportunity, Professor Lin was not going to go home, he was going to do experiments overnight.

No sleep!

“Yunli, come and tell me how you do it.”

More testing requires more samples.

“There’s an element of luck with this sample. But I think it can be screened by light wave interference to get enough samples for testing …..”

Yun Li finally walked over to the lab table.

It was certainly possible to encounter samples by tearing the tape by hand. But this way is like finding a needle in a haystack, and it is not enough to do large-scale testing.

The most important thing in publishing a paper, especially an important paper, is the reproducibility of the experimental results.

How to get samples easily became the next topic to be tackled.

But the physical object was in front of us, and the confidence of the crowd was full.

There is strength in numbers, and in a short while, several proven methods were summarized in a variety of languages, and all that remained was screening and validation.

But this work was to be done during the day. Everyone was sleepy.

“Little girl be happy, you’ve done a great job, you know!”

There were still traces of tears on the female student’s cheeks.

“Professor Lin, can you give me a few more marks when grading the paper, I didn’t do too well in quantum mechanics.”

“Really? I’ll go back and see. What other subjects? Never mind, I’ll go walk around for you. As long as you write your name on the paper, I’ll make sure you pass.”

Professor Lin liked this sniveling female student very much.

Maybe this is another Hao Yunli!

“I already flunked two courses last semester. This semester I can only take one at most, otherwise I won’t get my degree.”

Yunli was embarrassed. There were a few classes this semester, and I guess I would have to fail again.

“You’ve been doing this all this time without a review?”

Only then did Professor Lin realize that it was time for the final exam.

Gao Yi shook his head, and neither of them spoke. Not to mention the final exams, they couldn’t even care less about the New Year’s party.

The New Year’s party of the senior year was very meaningful. Everyone was about to go their separate ways, but they spent all their time here, just like last semester.

“The effort is worth the effort.”

Professor Lin thought for a moment, but didn’t know what to say.

Faced with two young faces, he could only sum up with an old saying.

——–

A series of papers on graphene have been published in SCIENCE and NATURE.

After string theory, this is another nuclear bomb discovery by the Physics Department of IUT.

The physics and materials communities around the world were sensational.

Due to its special two-dimensional structure, graphene has quite rare properties.

Due to the single layer of atoms, graphene is destined to be the thinnest material in the world, but at the same time, it will be the hardest nanomaterial.

Graphene is almost completely transparent; has a lower electrical resistivity than copper or silver, and so on and so forth.

Time is short, and many more properties are still being tested.

Graphene is the talk of the paper right now.

No matter what is detected, what is detected is enough to top the CNS for a top paper.

This is where the sea of people and collectivism shows its power.

All of the physics faculty and staff, graduate students and senior undergraduates, canceled their winter break to follow in Yunli’s footsteps and devote themselves to the follow-up research.

There is strength in numbers, but thanks to the large pile of various instruments that the students had bought some time ago, they were able to do their research. These devices, with varying precision and functions, have been put to good use; at least everyone has a device to use.

The door to the treasure trove of papers has been pushed open by Yun Li. A randomly picked up (check) is a high-quality paper.

Everyone understands the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The properties of graphene have been predicted by many people throughout history, and the time has come to verify these predictions.

The physics department mobilized up and down the chain of command, picking their own topics and playing them individually or in teams. The hope was to get more results before other scientists prepared their samples.

More and more papers were being published one after another.

For a while, all major journals and media from all over the world were dominated by graphene.

——–

The story of Yunli and her boyfriend Gao Yi was broadcast on the news, but they got the opposite comments.

Is it right or wrong to give up studies and degrees for experiments and research?

Is there something wrong with our education system?

The two of them were lucky to find results. What if they miss it and get caught flunking again this semester.

Various bricklayers have come forward to comment.

“The ones who have produced the most results at IU in recent years are all undergraduates. And all of them are self-study or abandoned study to produce results.

These are certainly IU’s luck that there are so many good students.

But should the IU itself be introspective?

Does the traditional model of education suppress and waste more genius?”

The commentary editorial appeared in the Green Paper.

The examples of Cheng Yongxing and several others were also listed.

——–

IU is in a dilemma when it comes to publicizing the deeds of Yun Li and Gao Yi.

Last semester, the school literally caught Yun Li, a rising star of the future, failing both subjects.

The strict management style was strongly challenged.

The direction of the propaganda of things can only turn to persistence and not giving up.

Under this discourse, the forty or so projects that had been abandoned last year were picked up and invested with renewed vigor.

A new group of juniors grew up.

This is what Cheng Yongxing saw, and the project budget received by the Basic Fund jumped by two orders of magnitude.

’95, the first year, actually received hundreds of millions of dollars in budget requests!

Amateur interest groups involving only a few hundred undergraduates, averaging 500,000 each!

And the newly submitted projects are clearly influenced by his Theory of Freshman Genius, with all kinds of brains.

Yun Li’s appearance, is considered to give his theory, provides the basis and ammunition.

This is simply an upgraded version of the useless theory of learning.

In the face of these unreasonable project applications, Cheng Yongxing has no other way, can only tearfully approved.

This amount of money is enough to build a new university with a twist.

He can only be grateful that no one can think of buying an electronic collider, or building a spaceship for fun. That would have bankrupted him.

——–

After the success of the graphene project, Cheng Yongxing didn’t dare to show up and congratulate himself in person.

The aftermath of the stock raid has not subsided yet.

Recently, he can always feel that there are people following him. And these stalkers, at a glance, are amateurs, filling a lot of trouble for him.

There may be tabloid reporters among the stalkers, or perhaps stock investors who are ready to follow the trend.

The stock market, stimulated by the three major policies, briefly crossed the thousand points, and then began a long, gloomy process of decline, which has now fallen to about 600 points.

The movements of Cheng Yongxing and the two funds were always being watched.

If he dares to walk into one of the trading floors, or even get close to it, the stock market can rally a few dozen points.

But Cheng Yongxing didn’t dare to let the funds enter the stock market again. The stock market will soon usher in a new low, 530 points.

If the fund enters now, nine times out of ten, it will catch up with this lowest point in several years.

When that happens, you really won’t be able to say anything.

But this also poses a bit of a logical obstacle.

Stock trading is all about buying low and selling high, but now, if you can’t buy when the stock market is low, do you have to buy when it is high?

When the stock market is at its high point, it’s not like there aren’t stocks to buy, stocks that are high-growth performers that can be held for the long term. But after a few years, it’s time for someone to question it again.

This stock market, there’s no way to play!

Headaches.

——–

The ostensible cause of this years-long bear market is the imbalance between supply and demand in the stock market through issuance and capacity expansion. The first of the three major bailout policies was to stop issuing new shares.

But the underlying cause was the economic contraction and soft landing that started in 1993. The monetary contraction led to a years-long bear market and a wave of layoffs.

The direct cause of the layoffs was the mismatch in industrial structure and the lack of a market for the products. However, these are only symptoms, because some township enterprises survived even though the quality of their products was worse and their prices were not cheaper.

The deeper reason is the enterprise structure.

Under the planned economy, the relationship between enterprises and the banking system is one big cycle, one integrated relationship, and the bank is the financial arm of the enterprise. The bank was the financial arm of the company. When the banking system was tightened, the defenseless manufacturing enterprises quickly entered a state of paralysis.

If the photovoltaic system is not two-sided, even if the technology is good, it will also be in trouble.

Likewise, stopping the issuance of new shares is only a stopgap measure, not a permanent cure.

In a financial environment where the annual interest rate is as high as 20%, the attractiveness of the stock is limited.

The central idea of the first two years of stock listings was to bail out state-owned enterprises, and many of the newly listed companies are not losing money. Most of the companies’ profit growth could not keep up with the 20% bank interest, and shareholders voted with their feet, which was the only result.

Management is aware of this problem, and the second major policy is to foster institutional investors.

The IU and the series of funds behind it are the best culprits.

The IU, together with the two faculties, plus the two funds, holding tens of billions of dollars, as long as one tenth of the funds can flow to the stock market, it can pull the stock market back to a thousand points, coupled with the reputation and appeal of the IU, bear to bull, just a snap of the fingers.

In the meantime, the CSRC sent a research team, resident in Bing City as lobbyists, to talk about economics, politics, but also to give the green light to the IU enterprise listing clouds.

In addition, there are rumors that Vice President Sun, who was born in the Department of Economics, may be the next Chairman of the SFC.

This rumor may not be an idle rumor. There are forces at work in Bingcheng as well.

Bingcheng wants to become the third stock exchange in the city, besides Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Ice City’s economy is healthy, private financing is active, the quality of its enterprises is good, and thousands of companies are eligible to be listed. The establishment of its own stock exchange is a logical step.

In addition, the current management has no more confidence in the stock market than the stockholders. This is evident from their series of divine maneuvers. It’s not the first time or two that they stopped issuing shares.

The method of calculating the Shenzhen stock market index has also been changed again and again. The purpose is to make the numbers look a little bigger.

The movement of Cheng Yongxing, the stock god, is not only of concern to the stockholders, but also to the management.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Yongxing can only disappear, temporarily avoiding the limelight.

——–

Cheng Yongxing was also very surprised that Yunli flunked two doors for the project.

You know, junior and senior year are all about majors. It’s easy to get through the grades in the majors. It’s all acquaintances, your own teachers, your own students.

Professional exams, even including graduate school professional exams, are easy to get along with teachers and grades.

Cheng Yongxing has seen a case where a student was caught in a professional class, that is, a student always skipped class, and finally the teacher was so ruthless that he hung him up as a warning to others.

He had no way of guessing the details of Yunli’s arrest, nor could he ask about them.

The teachers of the physics department, which Cheng Yongxing often comes into contact with, are a group of very easy to talk to.

Is it possible that he skipped too many classes, or turned in a blank paper?

Or both?

I didn’t know that shy, blushing girl had so much guts!

The ancients did not deceive me.
