Jiangcheng is exhausted, incredibly exhausted...
He had assumed that the face-to-face review process would be quick.
However, every scholar who entered was highly knowledgeable, and they discussed and exchanged ideas about the Brain-Inspired Project. As the conversation began, he became increasingly enthusiastic, as everyone's thinking was different, and some even had extremely brilliant insights. The researchers were naturally happy to communicate with someone like Dean Jiang, who had such a profound scientific background.
Because there is usually no opportunity for one-on-one debate.
During the ten-minute conversation, at times when things were getting interesting, Gu Qingwan wanted to interrupt, but Jiang Cheng waved her hand and refused.
So the time was extended. He glanced at his watch absentmindedly, and the researcher and Jiang Cheng reluctantly ended their conversation.
The process became increasingly slow throughout the afternoon; at this rate, it would take a full three days to complete all the interviews.
In the evening, when it was time for dinner, Jiang Cheng was eating in the cafeteria. He held his chopsticks with food in mid-air, but didn't put them in his mouth.
"Xiao Gu, do you think I've wasted too much time?"
"Indeed, there are some differences from the previous plan."
There was food in front of Gu Qingwan, but she didn't eat it, focusing instead on answering the boss's questions.
Jiang Cheng didn't notice these details. He thought for a while, then took a bite of the cauliflower on his chopsticks. "I've decided," he said, "the interview process will be extended. This isn't just a procedure that the Brain-Inspired Project should follow; it's also important to share my thoughts with these outstanding researchers! You noticed the looks in the eyes of those who came into the room; they were filled with passion for research. I might as well take this opportunity to debate with them properly. If my ideas help them break through their mental barriers, it will contribute to cultivating outstanding scientific research talent in China!"
"good."
It's only natural.
In the past few days, Jiang Cheng put aside everything else and completed this extremely difficult task!
He completed the assessment of all researchers and selected a group of the elite among the elite! It can be said that any one of them could serve as a minister or deputy minister in a region, which made Professor Zhong extremely happy.
In fact, we have been facing a severe shortage of talent for many years, and China attaches great importance to this area, investing countless funds. Now, outstanding researchers are emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, how can this not be a cause for celebration?
Under these stringent conditions, Jiangcheng selected fifty people.
They represent the highest level in China, and apart from some familiar faces, nearly half of them are newcomers who are quite surprising.
These newcomers, whether from science and technology institutes in remote areas or those who have just joined their companies, were all attracted by the Brain-Inspired Project and the name of Jiangcheng.
Professor Zhong recorded their names one by one, and they officially became members of the Brain-Inspired Group, and would travel to the Northwest with the scientific research leaders.
The list has been submitted and is just waiting for the leader's approval before Jiangcheng will depart on a chosen date.
As expected, Chen Ang, following in the footsteps of the Human Genome Project, entered the Brain-Inspired Project thanks to his exceptional knowledge and versatile thinking. Feng Zhen, upon hearing this news, was overjoyed and made several phone calls to Zhong Yingzhe to praise the young man.
It is certain that Chen Ang will succeed Chen Ang as the head of the Department of Life Sciences at Kyoto University.
Feng Zhen's health has been declining year by year, so he is extremely gratified to have a successor.
The more achievements Xiao Chen makes, the more people will trust him when he takes office in the future. Otherwise, there will always be a group of people who are dissatisfied, and Chen Ang can use facts to shut them up.
When recording the list, another name came up that was completely unexpected for the elderly man. The only female member among the fifty-plus people, Shen Yiran, had surprisingly passed Jiangcheng's rigorous interview process, overcoming numerous obstacles to secure a spot in the group.
Jiang Cheng is the kind of person who doesn't have selfish motives; if he thinks it's possible, then it really is possible.
Shen Yiran successfully broke free from the shackles of fame and fortune, genuinely seeing herself as just another ordinary researcher among countless others. She rediscovered the pure, unadulterated passion she had when she first entered the field of biotechnology. The agonizing nights, the dormitory lights burning until dawn, the sparrows fluttering their wings outside the window, the ginkgo trees in the courtyard… these quiet things bore witness to this girl's hard work.
She underwent a transformation in this process, no longer someone who took privileges for granted. Starting from the same point, she won! This is what Shen Yiran deserves!
Everyone has a chance to redeem themselves. Whether she's arrogant, haughty, or mean-spirited, she's not inherently evil. To be able to assume an international position at thirty and be selected as one of the leading young researchers—this woman isn't stupid, just arrogant.
She sincerely wanted to apologize to Jiang Cheng for not obeying orders back then, but she would probably have to wait until the yellow sands of the Gobi Desert in Northwest China were blowing.
Now, Shen Yiran went alone outside the Institute of Biotechnology. She sat on a park bench, quietly gazing up at the vast starry sky. A misty haze suddenly appeared in her eyes; getting what she deserved after all her hard work was truly heartwarming.
······
The leader quickly approved the brain-like project and met with Jiang Cheng to discuss some details and offer him encouragement.
Jiang Cheng went there with great excitement. He deeply felt the charm of the person in charge. The things contained in those deep eyes were enough for him to remember for a very long time!
Given this level of attention, his determination to make the brain-like project a success has only strengthened!
As autumn draws to a close, and the ginkgo trees in the Institute of Biotechnology are about to shed all their leaves, all the researchers scheduled to work stand on the thick layer of ginkgo leaves.
Jiang Cheng, like them, looked straight ahead, his eyes fixed on the old tree that had grown for decades.
He stared for a moment, then turned around and looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"On this trip to the Northwest, we must be determined to win. We will not return to Kyoto until the Brain-Inspired Project is successfully completed! The conditions there are harsh, far inferior to those in the bustling city. Coarse sand and gravel float in the air all day long, and strong winds can suddenly rise up while we are talking. You'll get a mouthful of sand as soon as you speak outside! In the Gobi Desert of the Northwest, we have many research bases. It is a place full of legendary stories, and we will create a story that will be passed down by future generations! Gentlemen, let's set off!"
"Understood, Dean Jiang!"
Jiang Cheng was the first to leave the Institute of Biotechnology. Several special cars were already parked outside, a transition from land to air transport.
They will be escorted all the way to the Northwest Gobi Desert!
Zhong Yingzhe stared at the departing figures of the group, remaining rooted to the spot for a long time.
One generation after another of researchers!
Back when he was a young man, he also experienced the farewells of his seniors, which was a truly memorable time.
Unfortunately, flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns...
