Chapter 97 Where is the integrity of scientists?
Within the same university, there is basically no secrecy in scientific research; each professor's research group has teaching assistants and students.
It's not difficult for competitors to find out if they want to.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology currently has over 210 doctoral supervisors in the entire AI field, including more than 30 leading researchers such as academicians, Changjiang Scholars, National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, National Ten Thousand Talents Program members, and National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars.
The phenomenon of mutual competition in research projects is very serious, especially among the top dozen or so supervisors, who are basically aware of each other's research projects.
Lin Xiaowei specializes in the lightweighting subfield, while Zhu Weiping specializes in the industrialization of the industrial chain.
Normally, the competition between the two is not very intense.
In particular, the topic of "multi-frequency domain heterogeneous adaptive lightweight technology" is very suitable for the two of them to work together.
Lin Xiaowei focuses on theory, while Zhu Weiping focuses on industrialization; both of them have a bright future.
but!
Even the top 985 universities have a limited number of academicians in each research field, and the support the university can provide and the number of votes it can garner are also limited.
Moreover!
Lin Xiaowei is currently working on both theory and industrialization simultaneously, leaving Zhu Weiping no way out. Ultimately, this is because Zhu Weiping previously squeezed her out too much at the Institute of Intelligent Science and Technology.
Wait until the college entrance examination is over.
Lin Xiaowei has already published a theoretical paper in IEEE. Because of her academic achievements and background, the review process was extremely fast, and it was published in just over a month.
Now, Zhu Weiping has finally figured out the specific theoretical and technical difficulties, and the two sides can compete simultaneously on the industrialization project.
He wasn't very good at lightweight design, but at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, there were many full professors and associate professors who were good at it, and he could easily team up with any of them to secure research projects.
Regardless of who benefits, we can't let Lin Xiaowei win too much!
however.
The development of the situation was somewhat beyond Zhu Weiping's expectations, as well as those within Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
Lin Xiaowei directly assigned the industrialization project to Lu Ming, who, along with Associate Professors Xie Fengling and Cheng Qingmei, collaborated on the research.
What?
Zhu Weiping was stunned!
According to the timeline, Lu Ming should only be a sophomore in the Information and Computing Strong Foundation Program this year, right?
That afternoon, Vice Principal Dai personally went to the Artificial Intelligence Lightweighting Research Center, gathered Lin Xiaowei and Lu Ming together, and asked immediately, "Xiao Lin, are you really going to hand over your industrialization project on multi-frequency domain heterogeneous lightweighting to Lu Ming?"
He suspected that the powerful backers behind the scenes, Lu Ming's top female supporters, were exerting their influence to force Lin Xiaowei, the mentor, to back down.
It's okay.
This is a research project at the academician level, and the university will definitely support the supervisor. Please feel free to explain any difficulties you may have.
This academician is here today to uphold justice!
"Yes, I'm not very good at verifying industrialization either, so I'll just let Lu Ming, Professor Xie, and Professor Cheng take charge!"
Lin Xiaowei nodded calmly; she was busy with the theoretical verification work of the "local near-equivalence ultra-lightweight" project.
To maintain secrecy, only she and Lu Ming were secretly working on it.
The most remarkable aspect of this research is its extremely high application value in the military field, making it a very high priority for academician selection.
Lin Xiaowei was mainly responsible for the experimental model programming, while Lu Ming did some miscellaneous work.
Hu Jinyu, Chen Yiyan, and Huang Jiaxuan, three second-year students, were responsible for inputting data and verifying the results.
Everyone else was completely unaware, so they were all sent there to work on the industrialization project of multi-frequency domain heterogeneous lightweight design.
Vice Principal Dai was unaware of these matters, as he too had been kept in the dark. He couldn't help but ask Lu Ming with some concern, "Lu, are you confident leading such a large project?"
"have!"
Lu Ming nodded confidently.
Are you sure?
Vice Principal Dai felt like he was going crazy. What kind of joke was this? Even if Zhu Weiping were to take charge, he might not dare to guarantee anything.
This is a groundbreaking project; no one has ever done it before. It is also very valuable for China's semiconductor, AI industry, and large-scale industrial models.
Before Vice Principal Dai arrived, he had just received a notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that they must expedite the industrialization of the multi-frequency domain heterogeneous theory.
The ministry has already initiated the project, and they are giving priority to having Lin Xiaowei personally lead the team.
Seeing that Vice President Dai, an academician and school leader, was about to go crazy, Xie Fengling couldn't help but say, "President, don't worry. I heard that Yabin Group has hired a technical consulting team, led by a top expert specializing in industrialization. They are responsible for collecting money and doing the work, and the first part will be left to Professor Lu."
Omg!
Vice President Dai nearly split in two. He had only known that there were more and more academic femme fatales in the domestic academic circle, but he never expected that a male academic femme fatale would emerge from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
And it's even more ruthless.
This is such an important project! It could potentially change the entire industrial model industry's trajectory, and it might even have the chance to become a major research project for academicians.
An expert from the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" was actually willing to take money to do favors, helping others with projects and research.
How the hell did they give me that much money?!
Vice Principal Dai was trembling with anger. This was an insult to culture and science. Did these people have no shame in their pursuit of money?
Where is the backbone of scientists?
Integrity!
Lin Xiaowei could only continue to frankly admit, "Principal, you can rest assured. This time, my senior from MIT is leading the team. He majored in automation and has done several industrialization projects for lightweight models. He is very interested in the industrialization project of the new theory I proposed."
"Which university is he currently teaching at?" Vice Principal Dai genuinely felt that this was unreliable.
Who could give up the opportunity to become an academician?
"He was previously at Northwestern Polytechnical University, where he was mainly responsible for research on lightweight AI industry for aerospace systems. Now he has formed a new team to join Ruilong Technology Company, where he serves as chairman and chief scientist, and is transitioning to work on intelligent robot projects."
Lin Xiaowei could only continue to explain the actual situation, saying that the capitalists behind the scenes had made very proper arrangements.
Going public means having a net worth of tens of billions; who would still want to be an academician then!
"oh!"
Vice Principal Dai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although Lu Ming is a rare male academic enchantress, the extent of his enchantment is indeed somewhat frightening.
Ruilong Technology Company is a joint project of Jiangtai Group and multiple private equity capital firms in the province, with provincial leaders as the driving force behind it.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology was responsible for providing personnel and technology, but the core research team was recruited from all over the country.
Vice Principal Dai definitely knows who these people are; they are indeed all above Zhu Weiping.
From this perspective, the industrialization project of multi-frequency domain heterogeneous theory should not have any problems. Even if there are problems, they can be solved.
What should I do?
Support or not support?
Vice President Dai felt that this was the greatest moral test he had ever faced since becoming an academician.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has already initiated the project approval process.
If the school goes all out to ensure Lu Ming takes on this project, they'll reap all the rewards and benefits for free.
on the contrary.
If the school disagrees, and instead supports Zhu Weiping to take charge of the project, they might end up being crushed by Lu Ming's team behind the scenes, and thoroughly humiliated.
That would be so embarrassing!
For Zhu Weiping in particular, losing to Lin Xiaowei, a returned overseas scholar and Yangtze River Scholar, was barely acceptable. However, if he were to lose to Lin Xiaowei's student, a second-year undergraduate, or a doctoral student who had just passed the direct application for a PhD program in the same field, he would be utterly humiliated.
Don't bother working in the scientific research field anymore.
Especially within Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, a senior doctoral supervisor like Zhu Weiping, who leads the "Ten Thousand Talents Program," is practically a laughing stock, a living clown.
The only way.
The only solution is for the school to step in and support Lu Ming in securing the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology project, and to prevent Zhu Weiping from competing for the same project.
In this way, the school will lose face sooner or later.
Lu Ming is a male version of an academic enchantress, and an extremely skilled one at that. This scandal will leak out of the school sooner or later!
