I Have a Research Support System

Outside, it was getting dark.

On the bus going back, the hustle and bustle of coming back was no longer there.

After the driver started the car, seeing the quiet atmosphere in the car, he also wisely turned off the lights on the top of the car.

Sitting next to Xu Qiu was still Chen Hao.

At this time, Chen Hao squinted his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xu Qiu also leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.

What I saw in the afternoon flashed through my mind quickly:

Workshops, machine tools, assembly lines, forklifts, containers, tower cranes, riverside terminals.

Although he just took a brief tour, he still had a lot of insights when he was on the scene, and it was a worthwhile trip.

Laboratories, universities, and research institutes belong to the academic world.

Factories and enterprises belong to the industry.

The two are independent of each other, but also have intersections.

Doing research in academia is spending money regardless of the cost, as long as the performance of the material is improved.

But in the industry, it is necessary to consider the possibility of mass production, how to reduce the cost of materials and other issues.

The ultimate goal of academia is to research a material with excellent performance in a certain field, and then push it to the industry for mass production.

It can be said that the industry focuses on the "current", while the academic circle is "advanced".

The current and advanced here have no appraising or derogatory meaning, but only represent the front and back in time.

Taking the field of organic photovoltaics as an example, its further outlook:

First of all, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device must exceed a certain value, such as 15%, 18%, and 20%.

At this time, organic photovoltaic has application value, and it can be pushed to the industry to engage in large-scale roll-to-roll production, reduce production costs, and solve stability problems.

Of course, for the entire field of organic photovoltaics, these are still relatively distant things.

But for Xu Qiu personally, it was even more distant.

He is just getting started now, barely gaining a foothold.

When you become a leader in this field, you will almost be qualified to consider these issues.

...

Xu Qiu leaned against the car window, wanting to take a nap at first, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Looking out the window, there are buildings, trees, and vehicles flowing backwards at high speed.

He scanned the surrounding students and the counselors in the front row again, and thought carefully, this production practice may be the last group activity in his college career.

During freshmen and sophomores, classes and departments will organize spring and autumn outings, and after that, it is basically impossible to organize them.

After all, everyone is busy.

When the autumn outing was organized in the first semester of the junior year, there were more than 80 people in the class, and less than 30 people responded.

The closest group activity to now was the 129 song meeting last year.

On December 9th of each year at Shanghai University of Science and Technology, each department will form a chorus, which is the 129 song meeting.

This is a department-based activity. In principle, all sophomores to seniors in the Materials Department can participate.

However, considering that the sophomores have just been separated, they are not familiar with each other, and the seniors will face graduation problems, so this opportunity to win honor for the department is generally reserved for the juniors.

Xu Qiu still clearly remembered that the song they chose was "Yellow River Cantata".

The whole class rehearsed several times, and the class leader stood in front of them, holding two chopsticks as a baton.

However, after working hard for a long time, I only got a consolation award of excellence in the end.

Xu Qiu also recalled that when he first entered school, there was a pedestrian street in the southern district called "a street in the southern district".

He also visited there a few times, bought a lot of daily necessities, and it was usually very lively, but not long after enrolling, it was planned to be demolished.

When he revisited the old place later, he was already surrounded by fences.

During college, Xu Qiu also had to explore around the school.

There is a large business district nearby, as well as a Daxue Road, where you can find bars, board games, haircuts, massages, and more.

However, many shops on Daxue Road were converted from residential buildings and were often closed due to fire protection problems.

...

Thoughts turned to reality.

Xu Qiu couldn't help feeling that time flies by so fast, and it's almost time for graduation in a blink of an eye.

Some people chose to work directly, some went abroad, some went to graduate school, and a small number chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination or GAP for one or two years.

Different people embarked on different paths, drifting away from each other.

Xu Qiu was deeply touched by this.

After he Baoyan joined the research group, the attributes of the original undergraduate began to fade away, and he became more inclined to the identity of a graduate student.

The social circle has been tightened step by step, until now, it has almost shrunk to the circle of the research group.

Even roommates can only see once or twice when they go back at night and wake up in the morning.

Just like Chen Wanqing, Duan Yun, and Wu Feifei in the group, life is basically three points and one line: laboratory, cafeteria, and dormitory.

Before, Xu Qiu saw such remarks on the Internet:

Some people say that when you enter a graduate school, you become "cheap labor".

From personal experience, he felt that this was indeed the case.

Except for a few research institutes with good welfare, such as Shanghai Silicon Institute, where graduate students can earn 8K per month, more than 90% of science and engineering graduate students are paid far less than their labor value, and the work intensity may not be low at 996.

Phenomena exist objectively, as for how to understand it, it is a matter of opinion.

Some people are more realistic. They will convert the time and cost of studying for a master's degree in three years and studying for a doctoral degree in five or six years into equivalent money.

For example, it is 400,000 and 1 million respectively. If the added value of education is higher than 400,000 or 1 million when you work in the future, then it is worth it.

They will make their own choices based on this judgment.

There are also some people who have already established their own career plans since high school, freshman and sophomore year, and are constantly working towards their goals.

But most people don't think so much and just go with the flow.

When the time came to the senior year, I hurriedly started looking for internships, submitting resumes, or chose to study in graduate school because I didn't want to work.

Although Xu Qiu has made considerable achievements in the academic field, but think about it carefully, wasn't he also one of the majority?

I still want to thank the system that fell from the sky, as well as the guides on his scientific research journey - Senior Sister and Teacher Wei.

...

In the evening, Xu Qiu did not go to the laboratory.

After eating dinner alone, he went straight back to the dormitory and found that Ren Bin and Tao Yan were there.

"How is Xu Qiu, did you enjoy yourself today?" Tao Yan asked.

Play?

It seems that what Tao Yan said is correct, it is indeed quite like going on a trip, and their schedules are probably similar.

"It's okay. I visited the Modu Iron and Steel Plant, but most of the workshops couldn't get in. I just visited the periphery. How about you?" Xu Qiu said.

"Almost, we went to a semiconductor factory for packaging." Tao Yan said.

"Why do you all go to the factory, we were dragged to the Zhangjiang campus, and watched the teacher do a day's experiment." Ren Bin said:

"By the way, I heard that I have to submit a testimonial of several thousand words, what should I do?"

"It's only a one-credit class, and the instructor will give you the credit. You can find some information from the Internet, and then insert the photos you took." Tao Yan said.

"I heard that in the past, the more pages you have, the higher the score. You can make the pictures bigger, and you can slow down by one page for two pictures." Xu Qiu said.

"This method is good, but is it really effective? Will it be discovered by the counselor?" Tao Yan said.

"Believe it or not." Xu Qiu shrugged.

Thank you, Boss, for tipping 500 starting coins first, and Xiaoyuer not swimming for 100 starting coins.
