My house collapsed since I became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Chapter 116 Visiting Lao Tian’s Laboratory
  "Territory?" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then realized, "The teacher has told you?"

"Nonsense, if you want to rent school land to build a laboratory, you don't think you can do it just because of Lao Lu's reputation." Director Tian rolled his eyes: "He is a traitor from China who just came to Yanda, and he still In less than half a year, you want to take advantage of Yanda. Do you really think that the leaders of Yanda are running charity halls?"

"To put it bluntly, you don't have to rely on me!"

As he spoke, Director Tian teased Xiao Ran: "Is it Lao Lu who gave you the idea?"

Xiao Ran smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

"You don't need to feel embarrassed. From what I know about you, you really can't think of doing this. Only an old man like Lao Lu has such experience and ideas."

Director Tian smiled, glanced at Xiao Ran, and said leisurely: "You are not so thick-skinned."

Then you really misunderstood me, Lao Tian! When it comes to money, my moral bottom line has always been very flexible.

Xiao Ran thought about it for a moment, but finally did not say this.

"Director Na Tian, ​​what about the land?" He asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.

Director Tian waved his hand: "Okay, relax! You have settled the matter of renting the land. The address is right next to the Chemistry Building. It has an area of ​​about [-] square meters. The lease is for five years and the rent is free."

"If you are in a hurry, I will ask someone from the school to take you to go through the land rental procedures tomorrow, and also get the qualification certificate for building a laboratory and other things, so that you will not be able to find a place to do it yourself."

"Wait! Director Tian!" Xiao Ran couldn't wait to interrupt Lao Tian before he finished speaking.

He frowned and asked with a surprised look on his face: "What do you mean by rent-free?"

"It just doesn't cost money." As if seeing through the confusion on Xiao Ran's face, Director Tian smiled, paused for a moment, and said leisurely: "Although it doesn't cost money, there is a condition."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "You tell me!"

It would be easier if there were conditions, but he was afraid that it would be rented to him unconditionally. If that was the case, he would really have to consider whether there were any problems.

"The requirements are very simple for you. Publish a top SCI paper every year. How about it? It's not too difficult for you." Director Tian said with a smile.

"One top-notch paper every year. You really think highly of me!" Xiao Ran smiled bitterly.

Top journals, that is, the TOP rankings among similar journals, such as mathematics, certain medicine, engineering, etc. Although there is no clear definition of the number of top journals, generally speaking, the top 5 journals are considered top journals. .

If it is a journal in a popular subject category, the top ten will be considered top journals.

Director Tian smiled, patted Xiao Ran's shoulder, and encouraged: "Young people, only when you are under pressure can you be motivated!"

Xiao Ran was obviously moved when he heard this. With his current level of mathematics, it is really not difficult for him to write a top journal every year.

Lao Tian struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade: "It's already halfway through November this year, and the rent will start from January next year. Your paper proving Kratz's conjecture hasn't been published yet. That paper counts as next year's rent, that is, Explain that in the next two years, you just need to find a way to publish another top issue.”

"This shouldn't be that stressful for you, right?"

Now that Lao Tian has said so, with the idea of ​​not taking advantage of the bastard, Xiao Ran nodded: "No problem!"

"I knew you would agree." Lao Tian glanced at Xiao Ran with a smile, shook his head and sighed: "You are good at everything, but you are a bit obsessed with money."

Xiao Ran laughed sarcastically and then revealed the reason for his visit: "Director Tian, ​​I'm here to see you this time not only for renting land. I want to enter your laboratory as an intern for a period of time. Do you think you're okay with that?"

"That's it, it's easy to talk about." Director Tian smiled, "With your current academic level, it's really time to accumulate experience in this area."

As he said that, he looked at Kong Jiyuan who was sitting aside and listening obediently. "Jiyuan, please take Xiao Ran to visit my laboratory first to familiarize yourself with the environment." "Okay, teacher." Kong Jiyuan stood up quickly and pushed. Pushing up his glasses, he winked at Xiao Ran and said, "Junior Xiao Ran, let's go."

"Excuse me, Senior Kong."

"We are all on our own, why are you so polite!" Kong Jiyuan smiled heartily, and then said to Director Tian: "Teacher, Xiao Ran and I will leave first."

"Well, let's go."

After Director Hotan said goodbye, Kong Jiyuan hurriedly pulled Xiao Ran towards the door.

Director Tian's laboratory is located in the Institute of Mathematics of Yan University, located on the Yanyuan campus. It is one of the well-known academic institutions with a high reputation in the domestic and even international mathematics circles, covering many fields such as pure mathematics, applied mathematics and interdisciplinary subjects.

Kong Jiyuan led Xiao Ran to the research institute, and while walking in the direction of the laboratory, he introduced some information about their laboratory to Xiao Ran.

Currently, Director Tian's laboratory, including Lao Tian, ​​has a total of five mentor professors. Except for Lao Tian and another professor named Yang who are from the School of Mathematics, the other three are all professors from the School of Physics.

Each professor has one to two doctoral students and three graduate students, and the entire research team, including the supervisor and professor, has a total of eighteen people.

Kong Jiyuan is the only graduate student taught by Lao Tian, ​​and above Kong Jiyuan there is a senior who is studying for a Ph.D. From this point of view, Kong Jiyuan, as the only graduate student taught by Lao Tian, ​​is quite valuable.

"By the way, junior Xiao Ran, with your current level, university courses are nothing to you. Have you ever thought about graduating early?" Kong Jiyuan suddenly asked this question,

"Graduate early." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment: "I have indeed thought about this issue, but if the credits are not up to standard, there is no way to graduate early."

"Hey! Boss, I'm afraid you don't have any clue about your current situation!" Kong Jiyuan glanced at Xiao Ran speechlessly: "You can graduate early only by completing the credits. For other people, you are beyond the Three Realms. After winning the Five Elements, I still have to worry about the credits!
  If you really want to graduate early, you probably just have to tell the school leaders. "

"It's not as simple as you said." Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, and did not continue the topic, "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

"Uh" Kong Jiyuan suddenly hesitated, "I mainly want to ask you what your plans are after graduation?"

Xiao Ran looked at Kong Jiyuan with a half-smile, "I think you mainly want to know if I have the idea of ​​studying for graduate school under Director Tian, ​​right?"

Being exposed by Xiao Ran, Kong Jiyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he no longer tried to hide it, nodded and said: "I do have this intention."

"Xiao Ran, to be honest, I think you should really consider it. As the deputy director of the School of Mathematics at Yanda, my teacher is also an academician of the Academy of Sciences and a Yangtze River Scholar. His status and academic level are both high in the domestic academic world. A top-notch existence.”

"Maybe you can't feel it now, but I still want to say that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Scientific research is also political, and there is also a strict pyramid system."

“Academics are about schools, birth is about family status, and there are many things that cannot be explained in a few words. Of course, if you decide to study abroad and stay there to develop, then just pretend that I didn’t tell you.

But if you plan to develop in China in the future, my teacher is definitely a good choice, believe me! "

Kong Jiyuan finished these words awkwardly in one breath, then scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Xiao Ran, am I a little too direct? Hey! I don't know what's wrong with my brain when I tell you this. Just think I’m talking nonsense.”

Xiao Ran looked at Kong Jiyuan who was sincere with a hint of stupidity, smiled, and patted his shoulder: "Brother Kong, Director Tian is my teacher's best friend. With such a statue holding him on his thigh, what else can I think about? Let's go. !”

"Hey! You haven't said your decision yet!" Kong Jiyuan shouted at Xiao Ran and suddenly reacted, "Hey! He called me Senior Brother Kong!"

Kong Jiyuan, who realized what this title meant, immediately laughed and quickly caught up with Xiao Ran.

"Wait for me, Junior Brother Xiao!"
