Chapter 357: Heroes Are As Many As Across The River

"I mainly do algorithmic analysis for the formulas of the fundamental second and third harmonics, and perform Fourier series decomposition on periodic non-sinusoidal alternating currents."

Li Guangzhi's originally hunched back straightened up, and his whole body was full of new vitality, like a dead tree coming back to life.

He gestured in the air with his fingers as if the blackboard was right in front of him.

Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment.

A person can show such a big contrast in a short period of time, and it doesn't seem like he is pretending at all.

But if Li Guangzhi is in this state when teaching, shouldn't he be unable to adapt to the teaching position?

"When I was working on heap number theory, I mainly continued the path of Mr. Hua Luogeng, and my main research was still on the problem of prime variables."

Li Guangzhi seemed to have entered a state of immersion, muttering to himself, and even stood up from his chair and danced.

When talking about his strengths, his temperament is completely different.

Xu Qingshan did not interrupt his performance.

Xu Qingshan could understand Li Guangzhi's state very well. In fact, many scientific researchers who love academic research will reach a state of selflessness when they are truly immersed in their own exclusive fields.

Some people say that this is not the normal flow state?

Actually it is not.

They can withdraw from this state at any time and enter it quickly. Unlike the flow state, which is essentially a state of concentration, this state is more about passion.

So if we only look at those people doing scientific research, they may work more than ten hours a day without complaining of being tired. In fact, it’s not that they are not tired, but that they have lost the perception of fatigue.

The material manifestations of passion are various pheromones such as adrenaline and dopamine.

It can significantly reduce people’s perception of other emotions.

"We can observe it again."

Liu Ruochuan turned his head and whispered to Xu Qingshan
Li Guangzhi was speaking excitedly and didn't notice that the two main interviewers were whispering. He even used an impassioned tone when talking about the key points of his research.

"He seems to be quite suitable for academic work. If he had a more ruthless supervisor, wouldn't he be squeezed to death?"

Xu Qingshan said.

"I guess it's the same for the first two companies, so put them in the list of candidates."

With just a few words, Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan determined Li Guangzhi's position.

"Well, that's not bad. You can go to the office next door to rest for a while and have the second round of interviews later."

Liu Ruochuan put away his resume.

After hearing Liu Ruochuan's words, Li Guangzhi was stunned for a moment. His originally passionate state instantly subsided and he returned to his timid state, with his neck retracted like a cowardly old turtle.

"Oh, okay, thank you Director Xu, thank you Director Liu, thank you, thank you."

Li Guangzhi kept muttering to himself.

This kind of science and engineering guy may be hard for anyone to get used to, but he also has his own shining points.

"Be more confident. You performed well just now."

Xu Qingshan couldn't stand Li Guangzhi's appearance, so he said something when he was about to leave.

Li Guangzhi's hunched back suddenly froze.

He slowly turned around and looked at Xu Qingshan. For some reason, tears glistened in his eyes.

Xu Qingshan nodded at him gently.

In fact, he still has a bit of respect for those who love their careers and their work.

"Thank you."

Li Guangzhi spoke again, but this time he took two steps back, bowed to Xu Qingshan, and then hurriedly retreated.

"Is this what he is?"

Xu Qingshan felt that Li Guangzhi's reaction was a bit too big. He just simply acknowledged him. He looked at Liu Ruochuan with some confusion.

There was some sympathy on Liu Ruochuan's face.

"Looking at this, it's not hard to understand his state. It's obvious that he was suppressed by his big boss for a long time when he was studying for a doctorate and doing research, and his mentality has completely changed. Even after graduation, when he became a professor, he still can't adjust. Simply put, it's a lack of recognition."

Liu Ruchuan looked at Xu Qingshan and said with some emotion and envy.

"I'm not being sarcastic or sarcastic when I say this, but Qingshan, your path is truly the path that countless people doing academic research dream of. On this path of academic research, there are countless people working day and night, but they can't get the results they want. Not to mention that you can get support from the school and your mentors along the way, and even get many privileges and break many precedents."

"There are many researchers like Li Guangzhi. Some of them may have chosen to end their lives during their doctoral studies, while others have since chosen to stay away from colleges and universities and no longer step into the so-called academic circle."

"In fact, among the many masters and doctors graduating from the domestic academic circle every year, only one in ten really wants to concentrate on research. Most people want to escape from the quagmire that has trapped them from the moment they get their degree."

Xu Qingshan nodded in understanding.

Even though he had lived two lifetimes, he didn't quite understand such experiences.

Moreover, after his rebirth, everything went smoothly from high school to college, and he met many noble people along the way.

Although a big reason for this is that his personal strength and potential are too strong to be ignored, to be honest, even a true genius may not have a smooth life.

From this perspective, Xu Qingshan is extremely lucky.

"Let the next person in. Let's move quickly and don't make them wait too long." Xu Qingshan sighed and said.

The recruitment work of the research team was proceeding in an orderly manner. Although Xu Qingshan's team was small, everyone had a clear division of labor and was very efficient. In addition, all the candidates who came for the interview were senior intellectuals, and each of them had high comprehensive qualities and strong comprehension ability, so the interview process was extremely fast.

It took only one morning for Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan to complete the preliminary screening.

In addition to the original eight candidates, there were 8 self-recommended researchers who heard the news.

The scientific researchers who are able to come forward and recommend themselves at this time all have strong confidence. Most of them have backgrounds from top domestic and foreign universities, and some even have papers with high impact factors.

There was even one who held twenty-four patents and believed that he could provide Xu Qingshan with a certain level of immediate combat capability in terms of application.

It has to be said that these people were top-notch students when they were studying, and they have reached the level they are today, making them the best among all the top students.

Their vision and judgment abilities are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

There was even someone who was able to give his own opinion on the best development path for Xu Qingshan's research team. It was obvious that he was a little Liu Ruochuan-type character. What's more, what he said really hit the mark, and it was exactly what Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan had discussed before.

This interview allowed Xu Qingshan to see just the tip of the iceberg of the world's heroes.

No wonder some people say that there are countless heroes in the world, and only those who can seize the opportunity and become famous are the real heroes.

"That's it. It's a bit difficult to choose. Why are these people so powerful?"

Xu Qingshan looked at the list of candidates in front of him with some difficulty. The number of people on this list was much more than they had expected.

"After all, they all come here for your reputation. If they don't have any skills, they'd be embarrassed to show up in front of you. Let's see. If there's really no other way, we'll have to organize a few more rounds of interviews or written tests to test their true abilities."

Liu Ruochuan was also a little troubled, but it was a happy dilemma. Even when he was at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, he rarely saw a professor's research group that was so popular with young and outstanding research talents.

After all, normally, an old professor's research direction is basically fixed, and this means that a large round of screening has been completed.

Especially in a field like mathematics, which covers a very wide range, there are not many people studying mathematics itself, and even fewer people who want to study this field. If we further subdivide it into smaller fields, there are even fewer people.

For a recruitment like this for researchers, it is already a lot to be able to interview four or five people a year.

After all, all research institutes are vying for young talents with potential, while people with ordinary qualifications and abilities cannot even pass the threshold of the laboratory.

That is why a laboratory like Mr. Xu's, which has unlimited possibilities, a wide range of research directions, and even a large overlap with other disciplines, is so popular.

You have to know that it was only less than two months after the recruitment announcement of Xu Qingshan's research team was issued, they were able to organize more than 20 talents who met the standards. This was extremely exaggerated.

Of course, this does not mean that these talents are all acting positions. In fact, quite a few of them, nearly two-thirds, currently hold teaching or research positions.

I just wonder what the schools they are currently working for would think when they find out that they have sneaked in to attend the interview with Xu Qingshan’s team.

Although it was difficult to decide among so many talented people, the number of places was limited after all. After struggling for an afternoon and going through two rounds of in-depth and detailed interviews, Xu Qingshan finally decided on the final four candidates.

Among these four people, Li Guangzhi's name ranks first.

Perhaps because he was rejected for a long time, and then encouraged by Xu Qingshan's affirmation when he left the first round of interviews, Li Guangzhi performed much better in the next three rounds of interviews.

He not only speaks quietly, but also actively seeks to interact with Xu Qingshan when talking about things in his professional field.

Whatever Xu Qingshan asked him to do on the spot or tried to extend the topic, he would just do it without a second word. He was just a hardworking and helpful ox.

With Li Guangzhi's personality, it's no wonder that his former leader would use pua on him. This kind of good guy makes others want to bully him.

"Xiao Wang, take the four of us researchers to go through the formalities tomorrow. If you have any questions, just ask your Director Liu directly."

Xu Qingshan yawned.

He didn't know why, but ever since he started to focus on research, he gradually became less interested in spending time socializing with a large number of people in a short period of time.

Although this kind of interview is not a social event at all, it is more of a work event.

"You, you just throw things to me. Go ahead, the people have been arranged, I'll take care of it."

Liu Ruochuan smiled and pointed at Xu Qingshan who was sorting out the various documents on the table. Now the framework of the team has been determined.

Among the four people recruited, there is a scientific researcher like Li Guangzhi who specializes in research; another is a young engineer with an engineering background who said that he could provide Xu Qingshan with basic knowledge in applied mathematics; the other is a female scholar who is not good-looking and low-key, but her style is like a plus version of Wang Wei. Both her conversation and her thesis style are very down-to-earth and capable. Xu Qingshan keenly realized that this is a hidden super-successor.

The last one is the young Liu Ruochuan. This position was decided by Liu Ruochuan, and it is also the talent that Liu Ruochuan intends to keep for his own training. He seems to be quite experienced in research team management. He is not very old, only 28 years old this year, which is about the same age as Liu Ruochuan. The two have similar temperaments, so communication should not be a problem.

In fact, Xu Qingshan also didn’t quite understand.

In fact, these four people now have their own teaching and research positions. The female scholar named Jin Jing was even promoted to associate professor this year, but they still resolutely chose to join their own research team.

During the interview, Xu Qingshan also specifically asked Jin Jing about this question.

This is what Jin Jing said.

"I think the current scientific research atmosphere in China is too focused on results and quantity, which is not good for the scientific research environment. Although Researcher Xu's results are indeed very good, and the number is large in a short period of time, it seems that he is the winner of this kind of results and quantity theory, but in fact, after studying your paper in depth, I don't think so, because every step of your derivation and calculation is so calm as if you have experienced thousands of attempts. At least in my opinion, the proof process of the paper is impeccable, and there is no sense of haste to prove for the sake of proof."

“That’s what I hope to achieve.”

"So, I hope to be able to work with you down to earth to do the most cutting-edge and dynamic scientific research."

This was not flattery to Xu Qingshan. When Jin Jing said this, her eyes were so determined as if she wanted to join the party on the spot. She really believed so.

Xu Qingshan naturally could not be stingy with her since she gave up her position as an associate professor in a 985 university, voluntarily paid compensation, and joined his team. She was sure to be given the same position as an associate researcher.

The engineering scholar and engineer named Zhang Ke is also an expert in communications. Although he is not in an academic institution, with his ability and qualifications, he can be promoted to an associate researcher.

On the contrary, Li Guangzhi, whom Xu Qingshan planned to teach personally, and Fang Yunhai, who was taught by Liu Ruochuan, could only be arranged as assistant researchers first.
