Chapter 375 Dimensional Reduction Attack

Why?

"Why? Why?"

Director Liu and Section Chief Bai were speaking in ways only the other could understand.

Director Bai pursed his lips slightly, showing some regret, and finally sighed.

"Dazhi, we were just unlucky this time. Don't be discouraged, it's just that Xiaoji's hardware isn't good enough."

Director Liu remained silent, looking at the new rules printed on the A4 paper with a slight headache.

Ji Xiang is still too young. I wanted to help him get on his feet and give him a boost, but I didn't expect such a new rule to come out.

Headache.

This was bad luck, not a fault of our fighting spirit.

Thinking about it, Liu Zhi sighed deeply.

"Go back and have a good talk with Xiao Ji," Director Bai said. "Just because it didn't work this time doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Don't just bury your head in your work; you also need to look up and see where you're going."

"Xiao Ji is alright." Director Liu gave an affirmative evaluation. "Some young people look down on scientific research and papers, thinking that as long as they perform good surgeries, they can get away with anything. Xiao Ji is different. The research papers he presented are particularly excellent. It's possible that he'll pass on the first try."

"The new urology journal is out, but I don't see any articles by Xiao Ji," Director Bai said with some regret.

Director Liu shrugged and looked up at the sky.

Publishing an article isn't guaranteed just because it's well-written; it depends on many factors. It usually takes several months, and it's rare for an article to be published immediately after submission.

For example, the paper that Deng Chaohong worked on with Zhao Tianjiao was published a few months later, which is considered fast.

Thinking about this, Director Liu felt a pang of regret. If only he had guided Ji Xiang to publish a paper when he first joined the department, everything would have been perfect.

"I noticed that too. I originally thought Xiao Ji needed more practice, and failing to publish his first article was a small lesson for him," Director Liu said. "Who the hell knew that the provincial natural science department would change the regulations this year!"

"Go back and talk to Xiao Ji, don't be too discouraged. Let's go get some skewers together after this is over." Director Bai closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, looking tired.

Director Liu didn't leave either; he opened the window and started smoking in silence.

……

……

"Boss, the rules have really been changed!" Ling Tian said, suppressing his excitement.

"Most likely." Qin Chu's expression suddenly relaxed the moment he saw the rules.

During this time, Qin Chu seemed to have aged more than ten years. His gray hair had turned silver-white, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles and ravines.

"I still need your help!" Ling Tian said. "Boss, tell me how you did it."

Modifying the rules requires extraordinary abilities; Ling Tian couldn't do it himself, so Qin Chu had to step in.

But Ling Tian couldn't understand how his boss had managed to do it.

"I can't bring it up directly, or it'll seem like I have ulterior motives. At the last meeting, I chatted with Academician Li for a bit, and we talked about how the provincial and national natural sciences projects have become increasingly subpar lately." Qin Chu smiled slightly.

His calm and experienced expression struck Ling Tian with a chill.

It's hard to imagine that the most powerful forces in the medical field would care so much about a mere ant at the lowest level.

They had already tried, but to no avail. Ji Xiang seemed immune to the damage and charged out again.

When Ling Tian learned that Ji Xiang's project had applied for provincial natural science funding, he reported the matter to his boss.

After lamenting how quickly Ji Xiang had passed away and how much effort the Second Affiliated Hospital had invested in him, Qin Chu decided to take matters into his own hands.

This level of matter is beyond Ling Tian's ability to handle; after all, he's too far away to be of any use.

Qin and Chu cannot affect Jilin Province, but they can influence the people who make the rules.

The provincial science and technology innovation program is becoming increasingly superficial and meaningless, so let's change the rules. Qin Chu knew Academician Li and his group all too well, and with a few subtle remarks, he directly caused Ji Xiang a major setback.

"Boss, as they say, experience is the best teacher. With your dedication to public service, the chances of a little guy like Ji Xiang taking advantage of loopholes are practically zero," Ling Tian praised.

"It depends on his own abilities," Qin Chu said calmly. "As for academic papers, most of them are just filler. But even filler papers depend on how smart you are, whether you can capture the hearts of the reviewers and editors. There's a master's student in Guangzhou who did 33 months of residency training and published more than 80 SCI papers during that time..."

"That's amazing? He plagiarized more than eighty papers?" Ling Tian exclaimed in astonishment.

He knew the difficulty of publishing an SCI paper.

"One author, 39 articles," Qin Chu said in a deep voice.

"Uh..." Ling Tian quickly recovered from his surprise and smiled.

"If Ji Xiang has this ability, no matter how high the provincial science and technology evaluation standards are raised, it won't be difficult for him, right, Ling Tian?"

"The boss is right!" Ling Tian said. "It's not that we deliberately made things difficult for him; it's just that he's not good enough."

Ling Tian didn't realize that he had been treating Ji Xiang as an equal opponent in his words, and even subtly referring to Ji Xiang as a subordinate.

Do you know anyone over there?

"Yes," Ling Tian said. "The provincial science and technology competition is tomorrow, and all the papers have been submitted. I heard that Ji Xiang's paper is particularly well written; I guess the director of the urology department at the Second Affiliated Hospital personally polished it for him."

"Let's go take a look."

"Okay." Ling Tian felt a surge of joy.

I suffered in silence during the last surgery competition, but I never expected that Professor Gu would be so noble and magnanimous as to "give" the first place in the surgery competition, which was originally intended for Zhou Tianbo, to Ji Xiang.

But this time, the rules are there, and if the rules are broken... hey!

Ling Tian was even more eager for the rules in Jilin Province to be broken, unaware that he was lurking in the darkness far away.

"Get some rest early tonight. Make sure you handle tomorrow's matters carefully," Qin Chu instructed. "It would be best if they don't break the rules, but if they go too far, I'll teach them a lesson."

"Alright, boss, you should get some rest too. This little guy can't escape your grasp."

Leaving the boss's office, Ling Tian felt his steps become lighter.

Now there are doctors in the department who specialize in academic work, with academic and clinical work being separated into two tracks.

Academic doctors or PhDs can focus on writing papers, while doctors working in the department can focus on their work. On the one hand, academic PhDs can receive salaries and performance bonuses, and on the other hand, doctors working in the department don't have to worry about not having research opportunities.

This has become the norm.

Ji Xiang just moved too fast; he dared to think about provincial natural sciences while still in his residency training period.

It's not impossible to think about it, but this kind of leapfrog development path will definitely leave countless flaws.

If no one were targeting him, that would be one thing, but Ji Xiang's arrogance and domineering behavior have created countless obstacles for his own future.

This time, I'll definitely teach him a lesson, Ling Tian thought to himself.

After returning home, Ling Tian contacted the people he had spoken with and finalized the time for tomorrow.

They said they would send messages to update you on the review process.

He was more polite than before, and Ling Tian knew that he must have been shocked by the new rules.

The change of rules is the concentrated manifestation of power; this is a form of dimensional reduction attack.

Thinking of this, Ling Tian smiled.
