They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 141 Returning to China to Engage in Scientific Research

Wang Zhiqi used to be a psychiatrist.

Chinese people are not as concerned about mental health as foreigners, so the income of domestic psychiatrists is not high and there is very little gray income.

Compared with other specialties, there are commissions for prescribing medicines in internal medicine, red envelopes for surgical surgeons, and there are no surgeries in psychiatry. Many daily medications are controlled by the state, and it is impossible to prescribe more medicines.

Later, with the development of the Internet and the emergence of online games, Wang Zhiqi discovered a new world, which is to quit Internet addiction!
In 2001, the game "Legend" swept the country. I don't know how many people were addicted to it, and many students skipped classes to play Legend.

Many scholars have also begun to describe addiction to online games as a mental illness.

Since there is a disease, it needs to be treated. Wang Zhiqi, a psychiatrist, finally has a role to play. After treating several patients, Wang Zhiqi also realized the business opportunities behind quitting Internet addiction.

You can really make money by quitting Internet addiction. A treatment course of two to three months costs more than 10,000 yuan, and parents still flock to it.

You must know that the monthly income of many state-owned enterprise workers in small cities at that time was only more than 1,000 yuan.

Wang Zhiqi, sensing a business opportunity, opened this moral education academy to help children overcome Internet addiction.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei asked: "Principal Gu, it's only after five o'clock at your place, right? If you want to see me, just call me later."

There has to be a bashing!
"Online game addiction is comparable to drugs, and a social crisis is imminent!"

After reading the title repeatedly, Wang Zhiqi nodded with satisfaction.

The title seems scary enough and attractive enough. And it also successfully brought together online games and opium.

The Opium War was the beginning of modern China's humiliation. The common people must be very disgusted with opium. As long as you label this game champion as an "opium spokesperson", even if you are bringing glory to the country, even if you are winning for China. Breakthrough, then you are also the scum of the nation!
Then Wang Zhiqi picked up his pen and wrote more than a thousand words eloquently. Not only does it directly regard online game competitions as a spiritual opium invasion, but it also portrays Zhang Wei as an accomplice in torturing Chinese youth.

At 12:30 noon, Zhang Wei was still having breakfast when his cell phone rang suddenly. He took a look and saw that it was a call from China. The area code showed that it was from Beijing.

"Principal Gu! Why is it you! Why did you call me?" Zhang Wei silently calculated the time in his heart. It should be half past five in the morning in China.

When Wang Zhiqi wrote such a title, he felt that it lacked pertinence, so he crossed out the title and wrote another one:
"Teenagers are addicted to online games, their studies are ruined, and their family relationships are broken. Who will save them?"

"Zhang Wei, it's me!" Principal Gu's voice came from the receiver.

……

Looking at this title, Wang Zhiqi still shook his head dissatisfiedly. He felt that the title was too big and did not touch on the theme, so he wrote another one:
"Champion of online games? Or spokesperson for spiritual opium? Our youth are headed for destruction!"

After finishing writing, Wang Zhiqi called the editor of a familiar newspaper.

The business of the Internet addiction treatment school is also really good. Before this year is over, the income is already close to seven figures.

"Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Wei!"

This is not only a battle of values, but also a battle of business experience.

Now, when Wang Zhiqi saw the news that Zhang Wei won the WCG, it was reported as a positive image that brought glory to the country. Naturally, he couldn't bear it.

In order to attract more parents to send their children to cure Internet addiction, Wang Zhiqi would submit articles to newspapers from time to time. The contents were about how harmful online games are; online games are electronic heroin; online games will ruin children's lives; Internet is a disease. Need urgent treatment and so on.

"The old man called me so early. I don't know what happened."

Wang Zhiqi's Internet addiction treatment school will often advertise in newspapers, so he can be regarded as the God of Wealth of the newspaper. If the God of Wealth wants to publish an article, the newspaper will naturally not dare to refuse.

"Not many people in China know my mobile phone number in the United States!" Zhang Wei thought to himself, and then picked up the phone.

At the same time, he would regularly hold lectures and invite parents to tell real cases of those addicted to online games in schools that quit using the Internet. Basically, one lecture would attract several parents to send their children.

"I'm getting older and can't sleep anymore. I wake up before five o'clock!" Principal Gu then asked: "Are you still used to living and studying in the United States?"

"I'm used to it. I'm quite adaptable." Zhang Wei replied.

"What about food? Americans eat all Western food, and they eat hamburgers and French fries every day, which is not nutritious. Even if there are Chinese restaurants, they are all Western-style Chinese food. General Tso's chicken and the like are not the same as our Chinese food. Same!"

"You are right. The food in the United States is really much worse than that in China. Everything is either fried or grilled. It is quite fresh when you first come here, but over time, you will get tired of it!"

"I'm just saying, there's nothing nice to do in the United States. It's not as comfortable as we live in China." Principal Gu then asked, "Then are you homesick?"

"I will definitely miss home! If you are in a foreign country and have no relatives, how can you miss home?" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"If you feel homesick, why not come back early?"

"It shouldn't be necessary. I still have a month here, so I'll pass it by being patient!"

Principal Gu said, "There's only one month left anyway, why are you holding back! Just come back early. The school will book a flight for you and buy first class!"

"I didn't have first class when I came here, so how come I have first class when I go back? Principal, isn't your courtesy too obvious? Are you afraid that I won't go back if I stay in the United States?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried!" Principal Gu sighed lightly, and then said: "But it will be beneficial for you to come back early. Didn't I promise you to approve scientific research projects before? It's almost the end of the year, next year Applications for scientific research projects have also begun to be included in the plan.

If you come back early, you will have more time to apply for scientific research projects. After all, project application still needs time for approval, and after the national appropriation is approved, you have to go through the process.

If we can submit the project in November, we will definitely be able to complete the process in December. If we are lucky, next year's scientific research funds will be allocated around New Year's Day. So you'd better be back before November. "I see. What do you mean, if I go back earlier and apply for the project earlier, I can get next year's funds?" "Zhang Wei asked.

"That's what I mean. Of course there are scientific research funds in the school that can be mobilized, but when you get funds from the state, you should be more generous after all. And if you get scientific research funds from the state, if it is not enough, the school can also allocate part of it to supplement you."

Zhang Wei opened the calendar and looked at it, and then said: "November 11st this year is Halloween, which is still a very important holiday in the United States. Do you think this will work? Let me feel the atmosphere of Halloween in the United States. I will go back!"

"Okay! Then I can book a flight for you on November 11?"

"It should be November 11th!" Zhang Wei continued: "Ye Haotian's birthday is November 4rd. I will celebrate his birthday before going back!"

……

In the Department of Computer Science at Berkeley, Professor Adelman seemed a little surprised when he learned that Zhang Wei was going back.

"Zhang, do you really want to go back? In fact, you can stay at Berkeley, come to our computer department and become my student directly." Professor Aardman said.

There is no shame at all in being a student who is a Turing Award winner. Countless graduate students want to be one but are still unable to do so!

Students have always begged their teachers to accept them. How can a teacher ask his students to learn from him? The Turing Award winner personally invited Zhang Wei to be his student, which is definitely a sign of respect.

"Professor Adelman, thank you for your kindness, but after all, I am a student of Tsinghua University, and I will definitely go back!"

"You can transfer directly to Berkeley. If it is because of financial problems, I can help you apply for a full scholarship! Although the scholarship application time has passed now, but for special cases, I will go to the principal and there will definitely be no problem! "

Adelman is not lying. Just based on the zero-knowledge proof paper, Zhang Wei received a full scholarship to the computer science department of any school in the United States. Not to mention the scientific research results of graphene!

Even if these two papers were used as doctoral thesis, no professor would dare to say NO!

Faced with Professor Adelman's request to stay, Zhang Wei had no choice but to thank him again, and then said a bunch of New Year greetings before saying goodbye and leaving.

Looking at Zhang Wei's leaving figure, Professor Adelman sighed with regret.

"He was not left behind after all!" Goldwasser said next to him.

Aardman said: "Perhaps such a genius should not belong to us, he belongs to the whole world!"

……

Downstairs in the dormitory, the oil man waved at Zhang Wei reluctantly.

"Remember to come to Saudi Arabia and find me, and I'll treat you to a camel ride!"

"Just riding a camel is not enough. You have to ask me to go to Bahrain to let myself go and let me see the happiness of rich people!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go to Bahrain and let ourselves go!" The oil man nodded.

Then Zhang Wei looked at Ye Haotian again, and then told him: "You have to stay for another three weeks. Take care and pay attention to safety! Just stay in school if you have nothing to do, and stay with your classmates when you go out. Don't run around alone. The United States is not peaceful! On Halloween a few days ago, someone fired a gun near the school!"

"Don't worry, I will just stay in school honestly and I will definitely come back to see you intact." Ye Haotian said.

Zhang Wei stuffed another roll of U.S. dollars into Ye Haotian's trouser pocket, and then said: "You should also enjoy the first-class cabin when you come back!"

Ye Haotian was not polite and happily stuffed the US dollars into his pocket.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Everyone, see you later!" Zhang Wei waved his hands to everyone, and then got into the van of the bearded driver.

……

On the plane, Zhang Wei was holding a paper in his hand, which he had just gotten from the devil yesterday.

With a perfect TOEFL English proficiency, it became much easier for Zhang Wei to read papers. He only needed to look up some professional words.

You no longer need the thickest dictionary to look up words. Zhang Wei bought an English electronic dictionary in the United States. The vocabulary contained in it is much greater than that of a dictionary.

When using an electronic dictionary, the advantage of phonetic text is reflected. What is introduced in the electronic dictionary is equivalent to the encyclopedia content of the word.

Take the word "graphene" for example. In the Chinese dictionary, you can find "stone", "ink", and "ene", but you can't find "graphene". If you want to know what graphene is specifically, you have to check the encyclopedia.

But in English, if you look up the word "Graphene", the English dictionary will directly tell you that it is a new material with a single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure of carbon atoms stacked up. It will even tell you that there is graphite. What are the properties of ene.

Therefore, English dictionaries can actually be used as encyclopedias.

It is not unreasonable for high-end scientific research to be done in English. Not only because English is more widely used around the world, but also because English is more direct in expressing the meaning of words. A word is one thing. In this regard, it is difficult for people who are not engaged in high-end academics to understand this.

After the plane flew for several hours, Zhang Wei had already understood the content of the paper. He returned to the first page of the paper and looked at the title of the paper:

"Suppression of RNA recognition by Toll-like receptors: the impact of nucleoside modification and the evolutionary origin of RNA.

Inhibition of RNA recognition by Toll-like receptors: impact of nucleoside modifications and evolutionary origins of RNA. 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This is my next project! "
