Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 469: Chapter 283: What exactly is not right?

Indeed, granting Zhao Yi a waiver for basic subjects was not considered special treatment, since he genuinely had to go to accept an award.

There are similar rules within universities.

For instance, military enlistment.

College students who enlist for military service have all their courses for the semester, whether mandatory or optional, automatically approved.

In other words, the university has the right to make special accommodations on exams and grades according to the unique circumstances of the students.

And this is perfectly reasonable.

After all, universities are not like high schools. Students’ grades in each subject are entirely up to the teacher, such as the part of the grades consisting of routine scores; the teacher has the right to give full scores directly.

With a student set to receive the world-class Shaw Prize, clashing with the exam schedule, there is justification that transcends the educational level of the school. Naturally, he can apply to pass the subject.

In fact, many teachers would love to give Zhao Yi full marks instantly.

The pressure of taking exams on Zhao Yi is tremendous. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Take, for example, a subject like mathematics.

If Zhao Yi got one question wrong on the exam paper, Hu Zhibin wouldn’t know whether to mark it as wrong or right.

This is the dilemma.

Professors from other subjects felt the same way. Even biology and chemistry teachers didn’t know how to grade the papers.

Zhao Yi had no idea that he had caused his teachers so much frustration. He saw no need to ponder over such matters.

The examination!

If the answers are correct, then they’re correct; if they’re incorrect, then they’re incorrect. Either way, it doesn’t matter.

Who doesn’t make mistakes when doing a task?

After all the exams were over, students began preparing for their holidays, and Zhao Yi also wished to enjoy a relaxed holiday.

So he started working.

The first order of business was to finish the ’Information Compression Technology Theoretical Research’ project, which he had been dragging on. The main reason for the delay was that the project funding was as high as 2.8 million. Finishing it within a few days simply couldn’t be justified. frёeωebɳovel.com

Now Zhao Yi had figured it out.

The value of the project was indeed that high, knowledge was worth the money after all. Completing the project quickly would only make the project manager happy. They would undoubtedly hope to possess a comprehensive mathematical theory of information transmission.

This would be very beneficial to the development of national technology.

In the National Navigation System project, many satellites need to be launched into space. The cost of retrieving them for system updates would probably exceed the cost of the satellites themselves.

So the sooner the project could be submitted, the sooner the algorithmic system could be improved, enabling subsequently launched satellites to have higher imaging accuracy and transmission efficiency.

The ’Information Compression Technology Theoretical Research’ project wasn’t difficult for Zhao Yi. He only had to organize and revise materials about digital compression technology. Considering that the project reviewers and the internal research staff couldn’t possibly be on the same level as Terence Tao in the field of mathematical research and wouldn’t have a deep understanding of the mathematical theory of digital compression technology, he needed to make appropriate annotations in areas with higher comprehension difficulty.

The work of making annotations surprisingly took up a lot of time.

Zhao Yi had a profound understanding of the overall theory, but because the research uses cause-effect thinking, he found many parts that seemed understandable at first glance but felt unclear after transitioning to logical thinking.

He simply annotated almost all short sections of the content.

Although this work didn’t consume mental energy, it was incredibly time-consuming.

Zhao Yi went back to being a recluse.

Meanwhile,

Tang Rongxiu, the vice-president of Yanhua University, led a group consisting of professors like He Mingcheng, Liu Guangzuo, and Zhou Li, as well as several professors and academicians from Shuimu University, Capital University, and the Science Academy. They submitted a report to the National Education Administration requesting ’the promotion of Zhao Yi’s professional rank.’

Under the existing national system, researchers who want to improve their professional titles require achievements, qualifications, elections, and a series of complex processes. Zhao Yi, being a level-four professor, would also need to participate in internal competition and selection if he wished to be promoted further.

Zhao Yi practically had no qualifications to speak of. What he had was only his accomplishments; a short-term promotion was impossible.

However, exceptional talents call for special treatment!

With a group of academicians and professors filing the application, and Zhao Yi having just solved the Goldbach Conjecture, a meeting was convened within the Education Administration after the application was filed. The contents of the application were quickly approved unanimously.

It took just three days for Zhao Yi’s professional title to be elevated to a level-two professor.

A level-two professor is the highest level beneath the academician. Some academicians who have just been elected still have level-two titles, and the academician title is not something the Education Administration can award.

Domestic academicians are significantly more valuable than their counterparts in many foreign countries.

Domestic academicians refer to members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering. They are elected every two years, which can be roughly equated to elections within academic circles.

No matter how high one’s academic achievements are, becoming an academician necessitates elevation through the biannual election of academicians.

There are currently over five hundred academicians in the country, most of them over fifty years old. A significant number are over sixty-five, very few are under fifty, and the minimum age is still above forty-five.

That’s why many people say that becoming an academician in the country depends on experience.

Indeed...

Even in academic circles, many people have gripes about this, but in Zhao Yi’s case, his age of twenty is still very young. Being exceptionally promoted to a level-two professor within the system is already an incredible feat; his professional title has already been elevated to the highest possible level.
