Chapter 275 This man is looking for death!
At around eight o'clock the next morning, the Qiu Deba Gymnasium of Yanbei University was already packed with people.

Every year, the graduation ceremony is held by all the colleges together. All the undergraduate graduates plus teachers and department teachers are enough to fill up 80% of the stadium.

In the room that had been prepared behind the stadium rostrum, the school leaders were receiving the invited guests.

The annual graduation ceremony is a big event. In previous years, city leaders and bigwigs from partner institutions were usually invited to attend.

After all, the school's reputation is there. In recent years, Yanbei University has improved even more, and the level of the leaders invited is getting higher and higher.

For example, last year we invited leaders from ministries and commissions to attend the graduation ceremony. The reasons are self-evident.

It is mainly related to two major projects that my professor is working on.

Although Yanbei University has also undertaken many national projects in recent years, the school already has several national key laboratories.

But obviously, at present, their importance cannot be compared with Qiao Yu's project.

If the space-based project is successful, as long as all the obstacles in Asia are removed, China will basically be invincible in the competition of modernization.

If quantum simulation computers can really achieve the commercialization of today's classical electronic computers, it means that the technological war will change from offense to defense.

From the Batumi Treaty to the Wassenaar Arrangement, the seventy-year-long technological blockade will become a historical joke. We can even start reverse technology exports.

It can be said that its significance to China is even no less than that of the Space-Based Denial Project. If these two projects are successful, Yanbei University can be considered to have made a comeback.

When you reach a certain level, the information you get will definitely be different from that of ordinary netizens.

Although the two projects have never reported their research progress to the public in recent years, it is not because the research progress has not kept up with expectations. On the contrary, in the eyes of many researchers involved in the research and development, the progress has always exceeded expectations.

Especially the design of quantum simulation computers. In fact, a quantum simulation computer engineering machine was launched two years ago. Although it does not meet the general standards, it is particularly suitable for materials research.

When paired with software designed specifically for material research, the computing efficiency is at least 80% higher than using traditional supercomputers. Therefore, the Quantum Simulation Alliance has already set up a small production line.

Basically, all domestic material laboratories with some strength have built their own computer rooms for use with this quantum simulation computer, but they have not publicized it.

Moreover, the laboratories have signed a confidentiality agreement. According to the agreement, these quantum devices are only for trial use, and the products must be kept completely confidential during the trial period.

Although it is impossible to completely block the news, as long as no one admits it, the most that will spread outside is rumors.

Ordinary people may not know about these research developments, but they will definitely know about them when they reach a certain level.

So no matter what the online chatter is like, Qiao Yu's position is becoming more and more stable.

And to be honest, it was actually the idea of ​​Qiao Yu, the host of this project, to be so cautious.

Everything required signing a confidentiality agreement, not to mention the space-based projects. The apparent explanation for quantum simulation computing was that Qiao Yu felt it was still too far from the goal originally announced to the outside world, and he felt embarrassed to disclose the information every day.

As for what Qiao Yu was thinking, that was a matter of opinion. Most people in the company thought that Qiao Yu was afraid that he would become complacent with his achievements and affect R&D efficiency.

Perhaps only those who are involved in the process understand how strict Qiao Yu's requirements are for the progress of internal research and development.

Yes, the engineers and R&D personnel of the companies and manufacturers in the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance are actually treated very well, not only with high annual salaries, but also with various benefits.

Such as leadership awards, progress awards, etc.

But for those who are involved, they feel that these treatments are earned at the cost of their lives.

When the data is urgently needed, it is common to work 996 in the laboratory, and 007 is not uncommon. And it is impossible to fool around, because the requirements for each operation in the laboratory have reached an abnormal level of rigor.

For example, every experimental step needs to be recorded in detail, including the specific operation time, operator, instruments and equipment used, batch numbers of various reagents or samples, and all use standardized templates.

All key experiments require at least three groups to conduct them simultaneously. Each group needs to be responsible for its own experimental results and ensure that they can be reproduced...

Key charts and photos are even more basic. The above requirements include twelve major items and fifty-six detailed rules.

If any one of them is missing, the responsibility can be directly attributed to the person. Not only will all the experiments be in vain, but the performance and bonus for that month will also be reset to zero.

Who can stand this? You know, when things are going well, the performance and bonuses can be several times the salary.

No one could tolerate the fact that they did the same amount of work but were paid several times less than others. What was more important was that everyone was reluctant to leave.

After all, people in other industries may also have to work very hard these days, but even if they work very hard they may not necessarily get such high salaries and such good benefits.

The engineers who can get into the laboratories of these large companies within the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance must have no problem with basic cognition. Most of them graduated from famous universities and have clearer life plans and goals than ordinary people.

Although the work is hard, if you can hold on for ten years, you can basically achieve financial freedom, which is a good thing that not everyone has the opportunity to do.

Not to mention that this opportunity took twenty years of hard study to get. Of course, the most important thing is that these people can see the hope of the project being realized.

Many people on the Internet who claim to be in the know feel that the efforts of these people are not worth it. They think that these big companies are simply treating these engineers like animals.

There are probably some who really can't stand the hardship and quit their jobs voluntarily. But for those who stick to their jobs, most of them enjoy it.

So the work is hard, but the staff is stable.

The outside world is naturally not aware of these things, but at the level of the relevant ministries and commissions, they are naturally no secrets.

After all, the ministry has allocated funds. The detailed laboratory data may not be sent directly to them, but the research results and various expenses cannot be concealed.

As the saying goes, battle records can lie, but battle lines cannot.

Especially this year, according to many clues, both projects are likely to achieve breakthrough progress. Therefore, more bigwigs came to attend the graduation ceremony of Yanbei University than in previous years.

In the past, it was difficult to invite the big boss because he was too busy. This year, he took the initiative to arrange time to come. As the host, of course, I have to entertain him well.

Therefore, the current Yanbei principal, Gong Mingli, naturally arrived here early to welcome the guests to attend the ceremony.

The leaders of Beijing City, the leaders of the ministries, the principals of the sister schools, and the academicians...

Dozens of people gathered together, which was also a test for the reception staff. After all, they were all important people, and it would be bad to ignore anyone.

Fortunately, most of the big guys were acquaintances, so they soon started chatting together. The main character in the topic was naturally Qiao Yu.

"By the way, President Gong, isn't Academician Qiao coming to attend the ceremony today? I heard that his girlfriend is also graduating from college this year."

"Oh, don't mention it. We also invited Academician Qiao, but he said that the Science and Technology Commission had an emergency meeting scheduled for today, so we can only turn it down." Gong Mingli replied helplessly.

Since he was transferred to Yanbei University as president, Qiao Yu was invited to the undergraduate and graduate graduation ceremonies every year. But Qiao Yu never came once.

July of every year seems to be Qiao Yu’s busiest time, and there is always something going on.

This even made him doubt for a moment whether Qiao Yu had any opinion about him as the principal.

For colleges and universities, the annual graduation ceremony is naturally a very important event. It is also very prestigious for the school to have a young master like Qiao Yu come to speak a few words.

Not to mention that so many leaders came here for Qiao Yu’s reputation.

He can understand having meetings like this year.

But he couldn't understand why she didn't attend the Yanbei University graduation ceremony in previous years and ran back to Xingcheng to give lectures at her high school alma mater.

He even went to Tian Yanzhen specifically for this matter, learned about the situation, and got an answer that made him laugh and cry.

"The guy said he hadn't attended his own graduation ceremony since high school, so he didn't plan to attend anyone else's graduation ceremony."

Although he still invited Qiao Yu every year, Gong Mingli no longer had any hope that Qiao Yu would come to the ceremony. If he didn't want to come, then he didn't have to come. Anyway, it was fine as long as it wasn't because he disliked him.

Of course, this kind of childish reason should not be told to others casually.

"I see. The same thing happened to the Science and Technology Commission. They didn't even check the time before scheduling a meeting."

"Haha, that's understandable. After all, work is more important." Gong Mingli said with a laugh.

"Oh, what a pity. If Academician Qiao came, I could share some good news with him."

"Oh? Any good news?"

"President Gong, have you heard of an interesting story? About an ideal that Academician Qiao had in the past?"

Gong Mingli shook his head slightly.

He was transferred to Yanbei University as president in 2027, which was also the year when Qiao Yu was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

Although I knew Qiao Yu a little bit before, it was definitely not as good as Qiao Yu's mentor. After coming here, the two of them also interacted with each other, but they definitely didn't talk about ideals...

Talking about ideals with the youngest Fields Medal winner in history, the boss who controls two large-scale technological projects... Gong Mingli finds this kind of thing very strange.

“Haha, Academician Qiao Yu hopes that the old residential area where he used to live can be expropriated and transformed into a modern and livable residential area.

Xingcheng has proposed a renovation plan for future livable communities through Xiangnan Province, aiming to create a fully intelligent community demonstration site across the country and set a template for future real estate development.

The Railway New Village where Academician Qiao lived before was included in the plan to build a smart living community. It has been approved and is expected to start next month. "

"Ah?" Gong Mingli was stunned.

I didn’t know what to say for a while.

Since when will the expropriation and construction of a residential community in a second-tier city have to be reported to the capital for approval via the provincial government?

How much investment is needed to build a community? Even if Xingcheng is poor, can't the city solve it? Why make it so complicated?

Not to mention that Xingcheng is the capital of Xiangnan after all, and is also a nationally renowned key city. In addition, Xiangnan has already implemented a large provincial capital strategy, so it is naturally impossible for it to be so poor.

But Gong Mingli quickly responded and asked, "Is it possible that the project that Academician Qiao is in charge of will soon produce major results? Has there been hope?"

The boss smiled and said nothing about this question.

……

On the other side, outside the stadium, Qiao Yu, wearing a graduation gown and a mask, was walking into the stadium with Zheng Xiwen, who was dressed as a teacher.

It is true that there is a meeting today, but he had arranged for Zheng Zefeng to go in his place yesterday.

Meetings at the Science and Technology Commission were never the most important thing. After all, this year was Xia Keke's graduation ceremony, and he felt that he should still attend it out of both reason and emotion.

It was just that he really didn't want to sit on the podium. It was boring to sit with some old people, and it was more interesting to sit with Coco.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to speak on the stage. Although he can say all kinds of chicken soup casually, but in the past few years in the forefront of scientific research, Qiao Yu has seen a lot of things, and he has indeed matured a lot and understood a lot more truths...

There really is no such thing as a peaceful and quiet life in this world. Fortunately, he took the easiest path, but for the vast majority of graduates, even the proud children who graduated from top universities like Yanbei, at least half of them will have to go through some beatings in the next few years before they can grow up.

With this understanding, he was even more reluctant to say anything.

Not to mention that he has never attended a graduation ceremony, so this time he will make up for his regret.

Zheng Xiwen didn't quite understand Qiao Yu's boring behavior, but he chose to support him.

The quality of Yanbei University graduates can still be trusted. Qiao Yu appeared directly in the Guanghua College graduation area, so even if there was any commotion, it would be controllable.

Not to mention that Qiao Yu has been living a reclusive life in recent years, and his appearance has changed a lot compared to the years when he frequently appeared in the media, and he has also grown five centimeters taller.

Now he has grown to 176cm. Although this height is not outstanding in northern cities, for men, height often has to be considered together with achievements.

176 is not high, but owning a villa worth nine figures in the most scarce location in Beijing, and it is currently unsalable, doesn’t it seem high...

If you add the Fields Medal and the title of academician, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a giant in action.

At this time, the giant had already found the location of Jinhua College and spotted Xia Keke in the crowd at a glance.

This made Qiao Yu very satisfied. The girlfriend he raised was just so outstanding. She was fair-skinned and beautiful. Even if they were wearing the same clothes, she would still stand out.

So Qiao Yu called out, "Keke!" and raised his hand and waved at Xia Keke.

The intimate tone not only made Xia Keke look at him, but all the classmates around Xia Keke also looked at him collectively.

Everyone in the academy knows that Xia Keke is the girlfriend of a famous person in the school! Suddenly a man called her so intimately... is he looking for death?!
