Some labs don’t produce much in a year, and the researchers only make twenty or thirty thousand, which is less than the research grant at the end of the year.

After sorting out the lab affairs, Zhao Yi didn’t want to attend the institute’s annual meeting, so he took a plane directly back to Zhengyang.

It was a truly relaxing trip home.

With the research wrap up, he was completely untroubled, and it really felt different to relax body and mind.

When recognized on the plane, Zhao Yi even had the mood to banter with the flight attendant, "Are you from Zhengyang?"

"In the city?"

"Right, I’m a bit curious, how did you become flight attendants? Was it competitive, or what?"

"Do you have to take an exam?"

"..."

Zhao Yi was genuinely curious, and never thought he would gain several Study Coins. He could only marvel that it is hard being good-looking, a few words of conversation were even considered ’hitting on girls’.

The arrival terminal.

Zhao Yi nonchalantly dragged his luggage, intending to find a taxi outside, but he was stopped halfway through by someone holding a sign with a name written on it--

"Professor Zhao?"

"Me?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Yes, Professor Zhao, I’ve been waiting for you."">The young man who stopped Zhao Yi seemed excited, and then he shouted towards the back, "Zhao Yi is over here! This way! Hurry up!"

"Whoosh..."

Several people quickly ran over, some of whom were quite mindful of their image, ’quickly walked over’, but their walking speed was not slower than those who ran.

"Zhao Yi, we’ve been waiting for you!"

The one who walked quickly over was a man in his forties, who was introduced as a city committee member, apparently a government post, but the most important part came later--

Vice Chancellor Li Cong of Zhengyang University.

"Hello, Principal Li." Zhao Yi politely shook hands with Li Cong.

Li Cong was full of enthusiasm, "I knew you were coming home today, so I specially came to pick you up. We’ve been waiting for a long time!"

"Professor Zhao, you are from Zhengyang, so you must support the development of our Zhengyang education..."

"Blah blah blah..."

Li Cong talked on and on before Zhao Yi finally understood what he meant. The other party wanted to invite him to visit Zhengyang University.

It’s not just a visit, they mainly wanted him to offer guidance at the university’s computer lab.

The other party’s enthusiasm was quite good, but Zhao Yi planned to go home and didn’t want to visit any university, dealing with a bunch of officials and scholars’ bureaucratic talks. His hesitation was noticed by Li Cong, who immediately said, "It won’t take up too much of your time, it won’t be long!"

Several others, including a university professor and a city official, were helping to persuade him, making it difficult for Zhao Yi to refuse. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Okay, but I’m not staying for dinner. I promised to come home for dinner."

"Okay!"

"No problem!"

...

The best university in Zhengyang is the University of Science and Technology, while Zhengyang University is rather ordinary, having been established only over ten years ago, and developed from the merger of two technical colleges.

Because it had support from the local government, the university developed rapidly, even establishing two labs, one of which was a trendy computer lab.

The computer lab occupies a three-story building.

The first floor is a computer room open to students and also the place for computer classes, while the upper two floors are the main part of the lab.

Li Cong and two computer science teachers brought Zhao Yi to visit the computer lab. They wanted to develop the lab and had decided to conduct technical research, but were unsure if the research direction was correct, so they hoped to get guidance from professionals.

To get genuine guidance in this field, they definitely needed top-notch computer science experts, ones with good insight into the times.

Finding top-notch computer science experts is not easy.

It’s safe to say that Zhengyang University has no appeal. Their School of Information has only one undergraduate program, the other two being vocational education programs. In terms of faculty, there are only two PhDs who were hired with high salaries.

A teacher named Ding began his introduction by saying, "The school is focusing on the development of the computer lab, which has just applied for city key lab this year. We plan to apply for the provincial key lab next year or the year after, but we don’t know whether our research direction has prospects."

Zhao Yi asked, "What’s the research direction?"

"Encryption and digital technology."

Teacher Ding explained, "The encryption direction is not a problem, we already have certain achievements. In the digital technology direction, we want to develop in various fields, including signal transmission, compression and so on."

"Professor Zhao, what’s your opinion on the research direction of digital technology?"

This was a professional question!

The people at Zhengyang University didn’t know that Zhao Yi had worked on Digital Compression Technology, had a complete set of sound mathematical theory, and had even designed basic algorithm code personally, having a deep understanding of this area.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Digital technology is indeed a good direction. University labs doing research should certainly have cutting-edge technology, right?"

"Of course." Teacher Ding quickly nodded.

"If it’s purely digital compression and digital transmission technology, I advise you not to do it." He said seriously, "You should know, right? There’s a well-known digital compression technology internationally, it slowly covers many fields, including medical products, digital cameras, and so on."
