Chapter 361 Ruthless NTR towards Yenching University

Chang Haonan, half asleep and half awake, was finally awakened by a knock on the door.

"Teacher Chang?"

The knock on the door was followed by a clear female voice.

It took him about half a second to regain consciousness, and then looked out the door in confusion.

Nowadays, many people call him Chang Gong, Mr. Chang, Dr. Chang and even Director Chang, but it is indeed rare to call him teacher.

Two men and one woman appeared outside the door.

Chang Haonan, whose brain speed had not yet fully increased, calmed down and found out the other party's identity from his memory after a while.

Naturally, it was the three Yan university students who had come to ask him for advice before.

It's just that this time, the three of them were dressed much more formally, losing a lot of the student spirit they had when they met last time.

"It's you three...come in"

Chang Haonan sat up straight.

"Uh... are we disturbing your rest..."

It seems that their roles have not changed, and the girl named Lin Zhi is still in charge of speaking.

But standing at the door, she seemed to be in a dilemma.

Chang Haonan had just fallen asleep sitting down. At the door, you would have thought that he was just looking at the computer screen in a relaxed posture.

"It doesn't matter. It's about time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to wake me up easily."

Past experience shows that if he really falls into deep sleep, he will not hear the ordinary alarm clock or phone calls at all.

One sentence resolved some of the embarrassment.

"That's right, Teacher Chang, we went to Indianapolis to compete and came back."

The three of them put their umbrellas outside the door and walked into the office. The atmosphere became a lot more lively.

"As I said last time, there is no need to call the teacher..."

"This time is different. This time you are really our teacher."

Lin Zhi said as he took out an exquisite trophy and a blue-covered certificate from the schoolbag that Jian Feian was carrying behind his back, and placed them on Chang Haonan's desk.

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, in short, we won the championship."

The latter put down the cup in his hand and looked over.

Then I was surprised to find that it was my name on it.

CHANG Haonan.

"The trophy is one for each member of the winning team, and the certificate is your best instructor award."

Suga Fei'ang's speech is still so concise and to the point.

"The best instructor...I didn't even go to the competition with you..."

Looking at the award certificate in English in front of him, Chang Haonan felt a little embarrassed for the first time.

However, these two things can enrich the display cabinet placed not far behind him.

After receiving the May th Medal, Tang Lintian specially customized one for him to put in his office, and said that he could temporarily put the honors from his student days in it.

But to be honest, Chang Haonan had not received any decent honors before his third year in college.

A second-class academic scholarship is too humiliating.

In the end, apart from the medal, I had to put my degree certificate and graduation certificate in to top up the number.

"What does this have to do with it? The ancients said that a good doctor does not have a brilliant reputation, and a good fighter does not have great achievements. You can bring out a championship team without even leaving anyone. Isn't it more proof of its gold content?"

Although Song Tingyu talks little, he has high emotional intelligence whenever he speaks.

Lin Zhi next to her also quickly added:

"The most difficult thing about solving a problem is finding the right direction. Although you only chatted with us for a few hours, the inspiration you gave us is the most important. For example, in this year's second competition, as you said, you added Using three models outside the standard, it is said that nearly one-third of the final submitted results failed to converge, let alone seek optimization.”

Chang Haonan remembered that he did say such a thing, but in the conscience of heaven and earth, it was really just a casual saying.

"Speaking of which, when you guys came here last time, I remember saying that we were going to compete soon. Why didn't the results come out until July?"

"The reason for making it public is that the newly added test functions and model optimization take longer, and it also involves a lot of wrangling in the changes to the rules and clauses."

Speaking of this matter, Lin Zhi's lips curled up slightly:

"But in fact, the organizers added the three new test models to allow the host Purdue University to take more advantage. Judging from the results, it did beat the top schools in the previous session. They were caught off guard, but they didn’t expect us to come out halfway.”

"So the final field test session was delayed until the end of June. They even temporarily modified the rules, but they still couldn't beat us."

This operation made Chang Haonan amused.

In more than two decades, Americans have indeed changed little in terms of being unable to afford to lose...

"After all, our instructor is amazing..."

Song Tingyu inserted a rainbow fart at the right time.

"In short, because the eating scene is so ugly, after the second competition, the complete schedule was not even disclosed, but the results were only announced on the website..."

Lin Zhi continued to complain.

Chang Haonan briefly played with the trophy carved out of glass, and then stood up as he spoke, preparing to put them into the glass cabinet behind him.

Looking back, I found the three of them staring blankly at the mostly empty cabinet.

"This is the first time I have won a trophy in such a high-level competition, which is very memorable."

Chang Haonan didn't pay much attention and just said casually.

"Has Teacher Chang never participated in this kind of competition before?"

Jian Feian looked shocked at Chang Haonan.

In his opinion, if someone like Chang Haonan takes part in the competition, he will definitely win the prize.

"Um……"

In fact, Chang Haonan vaguely remembers participating in a physics competition when he was in high school.

Finally, I won a provincial third prize.

In fact, it is a participation award, as long as you don’t turn in a blank paper.

"Teacher Chang shouldn't need to prove himself by participating in competitions."

At this juncture, it was Song Tingyu who put the words into perspective.

"Indeed, and you have to leave some opportunities for others."

Chang Haonan picked up the cup with a nonchalant expression and took another sip of water.

Steady as Mount Tai.

……

Afterwards, the three of them told Chang Haonan excitedly about the various strange experiences they had during the competition on the other side of the ocean.

In this era of relatively limited information, many things are truly novel.

At this moment, Chang Haonan had a flash of inspiration in his mind——

Maybe the partners of my project team don’t need to be limited to the research groups of this school?

After all, when he met with Academician Li Jie in the morning, he also talked about promoting supercomputer applications.

Isn't this the best opportunity right now?

Of course, when it comes to Yenching University specifically, he may not be used to promote it.

After all, almost one-third of the big IT bosses in the country are from them.

But we can definitely use this as an opportunity to recruit a few YSU students to help.

Anyway, they are just starting out and can't get to the real core part.

Besides, software will be made public sooner or later.

As for confidential issues, it will be a matter after the software development is completed.

perfect.

Considering that this project team was brought here by Chang Haonan, there will definitely be no objections from Beijing Airlines.

But for Yanda, it seems a bit like NTR...

After thinking about it, Chang Haonan took advantage of a chance to speak and asked:

"You must have just returned to China. I wonder if you have heard that a State Key Laboratory of Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis will be inaugurated here in two days?"

Even if it is NTR, its properties are different.

First you have to make sure that others are willing.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

"National focus..."

Lin Zhi blinked:

"Is it...algorithmic?"

There are many national key laboratories at Yenching University, but so far none of them are specifically in the computer field.

"Not entirely. The most important task after its establishment is to complete a strongly coupled multi-physics simulation modeling tool. The algorithm is only one of the problems that needs to be solved."

From their expressions, Chang Haonan could see that they were quite interested, so he continued to explain:

"Although it sounds difficult, I already have a relatively systematic idea, so it doesn't matter, just follow my plan when the time comes."

"No...I'm not afraid of difficulties..."

Even Song Tingyu, who always speaks with high emotional intelligence, is a little stuck in his words:

"Well... the three of us are just undergraduates, can we really join?"

Of course he could hear Chang Haonan's intention to invite them.

But I felt dizzy, just like being hit by a lottery jackpot.

This experience will be of great significance to them, whether they continue their studies or work in the future.

"So I'm asking about your wishes. If you want to come, I can tell Academician Yang. Anyway, we have a bit of a cooperative relationship..."

"Of course I'm willing to go."

There was a hint of trembling in the voices of the three of them.

In fact, for them, the most important part of the conversation when they first met Chang Haonan was not the technical aspect.

It’s about getting them to really start thinking about what they want to do with their knowledge in the future.

This is a perfect opportunity.

"That's good. I'll contact Academician Yang when the time comes and see what her opinion is. If there's no problem, you can come over and help. Of course, I will give you subsidies according to the standards of scientific research assistants."

Chang Haonan nodded with satisfaction.

If you agree with me, can you still call it NTR?
