Chapter 139 Conditions
The more I know about Academician Balov, the less Fu Song doesn't want to let him go.
He is the first Nobel Prize winner in the world to study microwave lasers, lasers and quantum electronics. He has explored and studied many fields such as semiconductor lasers, laser frequency standards, excimer lasers, chemical lasers, laser-induced chemical reactions, nonlinear optics and optical information processing, and proposed the suggestion of using high-power lasers to induce nuclear fusion, which is an early work in laser fusion research.
Such talents are simply a waste of resources if they are not invited back to the country!
Academician Balov is 71 years old this year. He is indeed a little older. He will definitely not be able to do research in person, but what Fu Song wants is his experience and vision.
Fu Song has dug up so many experts and scholars in physics research in the past two years, and now he is raising sheep in China. If Academician Balov is the boss of these people, there is definitely no one who is dissatisfied with it.
Moreover, professional matters should be done by professionals. Academician Barov has been the director of the Lebedev Institute of Physics for twenty years. Isn’t it a piece of cake to manage hundreds of people?
"Sino-Soviet Friendship Physics Institute?" Academician Barov muttered twice, feeling a little amused and crying. He looked at Fu Song and said, "The Soviet Union is gone, why are you still talking about Sino-Soviet friendship?"
Fu Songyi said righteously: "In my heart, the Soviet Union will always be China's big brother, long live the Sino-Soviet friendship!"
The reason why he talks so nonsense is mainly because he bullies Academician Barov, who is a nostalgic person, and this is why he has previously named the Institute of Physics "Sino-Soviet Friendship".
Perhaps when Academician Barov heard of the "Sino-Soviet Friendship", he would think of the glorious years when he aided China in the 1950s, and might be willing to go to China.
Academician Barov smiled and said, "In the past, I believed that there was friendship between the two countries, but now I don't believe it anymore. Parmeston once said that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Sino-Soviet friendship only existed more than 30 years ago. Today, China and Russia are all left to use each other, and they can't even join forces to keep warm."
Fu Song smiled and said, "Why would you give me a name?"
"Forget it, the name of the Sino-Soviet Institute of Friendship Physics is very good." Barov waved his hand and said, "It's okay to let me go to China, but I have to agree to a few conditions."
"Ah?" Fu Song couldn't believe his ears. Happiness came a little too suddenly, but he could not hesitate at this time. "Academician Barov, you can just ask for any conditions!"
Academician Barov threw down his scissors, picked up a watering can, and watered the flowers and plants, saying, "First, all Soviet experts and scholars come and go freely."
"This is impossible!" Fu Song refused flatly. What a joke. I tried my best to fool them. No, please go to the country, how can I allow them to leave!
Academician Barov raised his head and stared at him, and Fu Song looked at him without giving in.
"This is absolutely undiscussed!" Fu Song said firmly, "Even if you reject my invitation, I will do whatever you want!"
After a while, Academician Balov smiled self-deprecatingly: "Then this condition will be invalid."
He himself knew that this condition was too harsh and that no one with a normal mind would agree, so he just said with a try-and-see attitude, since Fu Song refused, let's forget it.
"Then take a step back, the families of these people must be properly placed." Most of the Russian experts took their families to China, and Academician Balov was worried that they would not be able to adapt there.
Fu Song said: "I told you before that I built an expert community by the beach of Mucheng, with more than 800 single-family villas and dozens of apartment buildings. If it is not enough, then continue to build it. In addition, I will build an international school in Mucheng, hire some primary and secondary school teachers from Russia, or simply cooperate with famous Russian schools to run schools to solve the problem of children of experts attending school."
Academician Barov nodded and said, "I heard from my students that Mucheng is a beautiful city, with very warm winters and the people there are very friendly."
Fu Song: “….”
The Russians who went to Mucheng were either experts and professors, senior engineers or senior technicians. Although everyone was not very gentle, they would not make a fool of themselves. If the bald party members went to Mucheng, would you see if the people of Mucheng would be friendly to them?
"What else?"
Academician Barov smiled very much: "If I were asked to be the director of the research institute, I would need a certain degree of autonomy, including the autonomy in research direction and funding management."
This old guy is very familiar with the chronic diseases in the domestic scientific research circle, and he poked the lung tube of the Chinese scientific research circle with one stick.
Why is the domestic scientific research circle misconduct and serious corruption? Why can't we be at ease and be able to endure loneliness and concentrate on academic work? Why do we like to post a bunch of garbage SCI papers? Why do we go wherever we are hot?
It's definitely a physical... well, sports don't meet the standards.
Of course, this is just a joke.
There are chaos in the domestic academic circle, and it can be said that there are many demons and there are countless problems. If the news broadcast host is asked to speak at a standard speed, it will be difficult to finish it in a week.
Let’s give the most common example.
If you apply for a project, the project funding cannot be used independently because there are a lot of parents-in-law who are in charge of you. Various rules and regulations are dazzling, and the expenses and use are extremely cumbersome, which can drive people crazy.
Reimbursement regulations often change. Every time you make a reimbursement, you have to learn new methods. Just posting invoices, you have to go to finance several times. Once you go to finance, you point out a mistake. After the correction, the finance points out another mistake...
Finance is like a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative in the 1970s and 1980s. She looked impatient, as if she owed her money, and even cursed at the old professor with white hair...
It was originally a happy thing to apply for a project, but often after the project funding is released, the project funding becomes a burden. If you want to use it but don’t dare to use it, it’s not OK to not use it, and it’s not OK to use it until you can’t finish it. It’s simply forcing people to make mistakes.
In the past, scientific research funds were loose, so there were a lot of scientific research corruption. Later, it was stricter. There was indeed less scientific research corruption, but it lost flexibility and became increasingly rigid in management.
It’s not that you can’t guard against scientific researchers like thieves, but that you can’t just tie up the hands and feet of scientific researchers just to prevent them from being thieves. Isn’t this a waste of food because of choking?
How can scientific researchers post invoices just by researching? How can they still have time and energy to do research?
"You can continue the research you are interested in." Fu Song said happily, "but the institute must also obey my needs appropriately."
After a pause, Fu Song continued: "As for the autonomy of funding use and distribution, you can also give it to you. Basic and theoretical research can implement a funding system. Given a total amount of funds, there is no need to prepare a detailed budget for the cost. The specific spending will be decided by the project manager. The use of funds can be used and distributed according to regulations according to actual funding needs."
As for whether scientific research funds will be wasted in the future after doing this, and whether there are any greedy and corrupt people, Fu Song believes that there will definitely be, but he is not afraid. Where can waste be wasted? How can greedy and corrupt people be greedy and corrupt people be greedy?
