640 Chapter 622 The Road Ahead

The winter holidays have not quieted the hustle and bustle of the campus.

The light rail trains are still running as usual, and there are still large crowds on campus.

In recent years, a variety of student- and teacher-based businesses have sprung up on the IU campus.

These companies continue to operate normally. None of the students and faculty working in them have gone home.

Software companies are completely labor-intensive. There is a large software workforce at IU, and in addition to the computer science students, there are a number of double-degree students. As a reciprocal result, at least a quarter of the students stayed on campus during the winter break.

In addition, a number of part-time students from other universities were also called over to focus on work, making the density of students no less than usual.

Another large group of people active on campus is the various research teams.

The Eastern provinces have received very little investment over the years, and so have the institutions in the Eastern provinces.

But being on the northern frontier, the number of results published by Ice Engineering University is doubling year after year, rather than being a flash in the pan.

And the results show a full bloom.

Electronics, semiconductors, instrumentation, physics, chemistry, and even traditional disciplines such as welding and mechanics have all seen an explosion of results.

This can no longer be explained by one or two geniuses.

The other major city in the north, the capital, receives far greater funding figures than any other city, not to mention the fact that the IU basically does not want any financial support.

The output of just one school of the University of Technology exceeds the total output of more than forty universities in the capital.

This is embarrassing.

The profiles of a dozen outstanding teachers and students were compiled, and it was hoped that some commonality could be found.

Yun Li's file was among them. Her case, of course, was highlighted for analysis.

After more than ten days of analysis, comparison and discussion, we came to some plausible conclusions.

The first one is money.

IU is so rich that many of its companies have entered the financing stage, and a large number of them will be listed soon. There is a basis for calculating the value of these shares.

Roughly, nearly a hundred billion dollars of assets are available, not to mention some funds and other ancillary funds.

The first conclusion was opposed by my colleagues at IU in the first place.

This conclusion is simply an attempt to discredit the efforts of the faculty of the University of Technology.

Besides, how did the money come about, and isn't it still the result of the transformation?

Cause and effect is the opposite of what it should be!

In addition, most business equity is worth a lot of money on paper and very little is actually invested. Maybe it will be in the near future, not the present or the past!

In terms of the amount of money invested in teaching and research, the University of Technology is no more expensive than the traditional power schools in the capital. Not to mention, the actual amount of research funds received by the two universities in Qingbei alone is no less than that of IUT.

This can be seen in the construction of computers and networks.

The network status of the two schools, the per capita computer occupancy, is not inferior to that of IUT.

The second is the student body. The emergence of a few geniuses has been the key to IUT's rise to prominence and dazzling results.

But to say that the quality of the student body at IU is high is simply a joke!

In the past few years, IU's admission scores have always been at the bottom of the list of major schools. And these so-called geniuses have low admission scores. Some were even recruited by special recommendation forms, such as Cheng Yongxing, because of their insufficient grades.

The most important two, we argued for a few days, and had to shelve them.

The IU Youth League Committee proposed that a rigorous school culture is the key to success.

This was strongly opposed by all the visiting scholars.

Because several leading and typical figures, including the newly emerged Yunli, were not the result of this policy, or even the victims.

The sister universities, as well as their counterparts in the Ministry of Education, strongly disagree.

The IU is not the only school with a strict school culture, and it is not uncommon for schools to have military management.

But the IU faculty system insists on its own viewpoint.

Most of the students who produce results are very high achievers, good students in the traditional sense.

The few geniuses are only exceptions.

Geniuses? they are born, and regular people need to be nurtured and educated.

A few results, indeed, were led by gifted students, but most of the papers and work were done by regular students.

These students, if not because of the deep merit, pull out to be able to fight, the end result must be greatly compromised. Even the political and engineering faculty at the University of Engineering, writing papers and doing experiments, are no problem. This is something that most schools cannot do.

On the three most important points, people just kept arguing every day, unable to reach a conclusion.

Instead, there were a few details that were slowly agreed upon.

For example, students are encouraged to be innovative, and freshmen can apply for the program.

In fact, some schools in the capital have implemented this policy, but the result is not only expensive, but also fruitless.

The only thing we can do is to report it as such, but we can't have no consensus on it.

The other thing is the relatively harmonious student-teacher relationship, which is a general statement that no school would admit to having an unbalanced relationship with its own faculty.

--------

The discussion then circled back to money.

No one can deny the role of money.

Several funds have contributed to the project and have been very effective and efficient.

The Foundation Fund has actually spent close to 100 million so far, while the number of results and papers harvested is close to 250. In the University of Engineering alone, the number of Nobel Prize level results is already two.

Its efficiency is second to none, both nationally and internationally.

What is even more remarkable is that the two Nobel Prize-winning projects are not in the field of semiconductors, but in basic disciplines. This underscores the level of project selection, as well as the execution power of IU.

The Fundamental Science and Technology Fund, after receiving more funds, has increased its investment, and the new phase of funding approved is as much as 200 million dollars. This figure is even comparable to the entire country's investment in basic science and technology.

In addition to the benefits from IUT, the results from the University of Linn are also remarkable, as they have also harvested two waves of Nobel Prize-level superconducting results.

In addition to the investment from the fund, there is another big clue, which is the two-hour video clip.

Graphene is its greatest achievement.

Several visiting researchers watched the videotape more than once.

With the graphene craze, and word of mouth, the content of the tapes has attracted more people and more interest.

A number of schools have compared the content of the tapes, designed projects and applied for funding.

Because such projects are basically approved.

In particular, a few engineering departments that have grasped the pattern and tasted the sweetness have received hundreds of millions of dollars for just one phase!

This group of projects and scholars came to be known collectively as the Future School!

-------

The videotape was edited by Ice City TV.

The impact of this tape was so great that they simply struck while the iron was hot and also got a grant from the Basic Fund to put out a new version every year, and this year's new version is already out.

The series of tapes was given a name, "The Way of the Future".

It even had its own release number and was officially published.

As soon as the news of the videotape's publication spread, it received a large number of orders, and 200,000 copies were distributed in the first month.

Basically, all the universities and colleges in China, many research institutes, and even some strange organizations, bought back ten or twenty copies.

The University of Technology alone bought 200 copies, and basically every faculty, even every major had several copies.

As for the originals, there were even more pirated ones.

Li Chao, the editor of the tape, is now revered as director Li, quickly gained a foothold in the gossip world.

He was named by many people as the half-immortal Li, many people came to consult with him on the I Ching gossip.

The sale of the video also brought unexpected trouble to the Ice City TV station. A group of American film and television publishers sent a letter to the lawyer, demanding royalties and a share of the proceeds.

The company could not afford to pay these dollar-for-dollar royalties even if they sold Ice City TV.

The two sides are still tugging at each other's throats.

All in all, Hockeytown TV is suffering and happy.

The decision to agree to do private work for IU and edit the tapes was obviously a wise decision.

The deputy director, who made the decision, was promoted to director of the station in the heat of the moment.

The first thing he did after taking office was to continue to work with IU, making various documentaries focusing on popular science, science, and some of the recent successes of IU.

This decision was immediately accepted and supported by the IU, and all expenses will be fully funded by the Foundation Fund.

A series of documentary films, such as "The New Technology" and "Life on Campus", are released in large quantities.

The documentaries are then sent by the affiliated companies of IU to the newly established and local TV stations in counties and cities around the country for free broadcast. The response was tremendous.

＜The video tapes of IUT's latest achievements, such as "Digital Camera", have actually sold well and were bought by CCTV.

Overseas TV stations, such as Fuji Television Group in Japan, are also contacting the Bingcheng TV station to discuss the introduction of copyright and translation.

The effect of these tapes on the admission scores of the college entrance examination was far beyond everyone's imagination.

The name of IUT is well known to students in third and fourth tier cities.

The image of free tuition, high subsidies, high technology, and high visibility was quickly established.

This result was eventually understood by the admissions office.

A large number of popular science videotapes, with the University of Technology as the background, were distributed free of charge to all high schools in China.
