Chapter 163: Chapter 148: Goldbach’s Conjecture? What a Joke!
With the explosive development of the internet in China, people’s lives are changing rapidly, and many older people feel that their minds cannot keep up with the pace of development.
This is quite normal.
Not to mention ordinary people of older age, even the decision-makers in the national internet field feel that they can hardly catch up, but those who have the power to make decisions must keep up, so they can only let the domestic internet move ’forward in big strides’.
The computer field’s scientific research applications have been green-lit all the way since more than a decade ago.
China quickly saw the emergence of a large number of provincial-level and national-level computer-related laboratories and research institutes, some of which even have similar names and lots of overlapping research content.
The Computer Application Research Institute, where Zeng Wenjun worked, was a computer research unit applied directly under the name of a college. The staff were mostly local college teachers and master’s graduates who had even recruited PhDs within the few years it was open.
The establishment of a laboratory or research institute from nothing would be nearly impossible in other scientific research fields without the support of a well-established expert.
However, computer laboratories are different.
It caught up with the green light policy of the government, and coupled with the local university’s need for a computer lab to improve its’image, the Computer Application Research Institute immediately received regional approval and funding, and rapidly became a provincial key research unit.
At first, everything was fine, but as time went on, problems emerged.
Laboratories and research institutes need to produce results!
The Computer Application Research Institute, which was classified as a provincial key priority, mainly relied on financial allocation for its development. They also applied to participate in national software projects, but due to factors such as personnel strength and skill level, their project progress was very slow.
Since the national software projects were progressing slowly and there was no innovative research content, it was natural for the higher-ups to become aware of the institute’s strength.
Although the title of ’provincial key priority’ was not revoked, the related funding has been significantly reduced for some time now.
Zeng Wenjun was the Chief Researcher of the Computer Application Research Institute. He had received his master’s degree from a foreign university and served as a lecturer in an ordinary college after returning from study abroad. After the establishment of the Computer Application Research Institute, due to a lack of talent, he applied to join and later became a researcher after completing several projects.
Zeng Wenjun did indeed lead several projects, but due to his limited abilities, he eventually let the recruited master’s and PhD students do the work, while he took care of the business side.
For example, he built relationships with some upper-level officials to raise the level of the Computer Application Research Institute and help secure more regional funding.
And also by attracting some private projects to increase income.
Zeng Wenjun’s efforts did bear fruit, as the manager of Haitian Technology was swayed and decided to sponsor the Computer Application Research Institute to develop the intelligent project they needed.
This project had an initial funding of just two million.
Two million funds might not be much for a big company, but it was a substantial amount of money for the impoverished Computer Application Research Institute. As soon as Zeng Wenjun got the two million, he immediately had his team shift to Haitian Technology’s intelligent project.
One advantage of researching computer software is that there is almost no need for hardware investment, and all the money received can be counted as ’labor costs’.
Two million is enough to recruit a few more PhDs and pay their salaries for more than two years.
As Zeng Wenjun’s purse swelled, he really had the intention to do something big, but he greatly underestimated the difficulties of scientific research.
Haitian Technology required dynamic image recognition for intelligent object identification, which is a world-class challenge. Some of the top national computer labs in China can only achieve dynamic image recognition of colors.
This alone is already a confidential achievement that can be indexed in the SCI.
Previously, the Computer Application Research Institute had no related achievements, so everything had to start from scratch.
Zeng Wenjun participated in the research and always paid attention to the progress of the project. However, the difficulty of the project was so high that there was no progress after a long time. It would obviously be impossible to get follow-up sponsorship without progress.
People from Haitian Technology are not fools. They would supervise the research progress and investigate the flow of funds. If the research makes good progress, there would be no issue. But if there is no progress, they might face Haitian Technology’s liability claims. freёwebnovel.com
This is the situation Zeng Wenjun had to face.
Zeng Wenjun came to attend the Computer Mathematics Committee’s academic conference to meet more people and learn more about the related fields. His best hope was to gain something through networking.
Some scholars can be easily ’swayed’.
Zhang Qinghong, a professor who loves face, was swayed by Zeng Wenjun’s nice words and agreed to provide some technologies and codes related to dynamic image research.
This was a huge gain.
Zeng Wenjun’s plan was to use some high-end related research to sway the people of Haitian Technology and let them know that the project was progressing. Whether or not they would continue to sponsor in the future was another matter. But he had to give a basic account and avoid Haitian Technology’s liability claims.
When Zeng Wenjun saw Zhao Yi on the beach, he felt as if he had been favored by the heavens.
Zhao Yi!
’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ is widely acknowledged to have broad applications in the field of artificial intelligence and data mining. Zeng Wenjun has also conducted research on it.
Zeng Wenjun had made a genuine effort, as no one would admit that they are inferior. He believed that ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ was very suitable for identifying items through data analysis and patiently hoped to figure it out.
