Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

In later generations, the competition for student unions in top institutions of learning like Qinghua University was extremely fierce.

And it does have practical significance that cannot be underestimated.

It is almost equivalent to a condensed version of the "small officialdom". After entering the unit to participate in formal work, the resume of the main responsible cadres of the Qinghua University Student Union can greatly add points.

The chances of staying on campus to work are also much higher than those of ordinary students.

The opportunity to study abroad and teach at an ordinary university is already attractive enough, not to mention Qinghua University.

But at the moment, utilitarianism is not particularly serious. Everyone comes to Qinghua University mainly to study, learn skills, and do research.

Joining the student union is more about consciously contributing and serving your classmates sincerely.

As a former second-level professor, Liu Hongyi is actually most concerned about the school's academic background.

As a century-old prestigious university, renowned both at home and abroad, Qinghua University naturally has a very profound foundation.

But Liu Hongyi was well aware that, at least in the field of computer science, China currently lacked a solid foundation. While China was not far behind in lithography, economic constraints meant that this project would be scrapped.

There are so many places where money is needed, and the country can only make painful choices.

After dinner, Liu Hongyi went straight to the library.

He didn't come to borrow books, he came to "inspect" the library.

Professor Liu wanted to see the size of the Qinghua University Library during this period and what kind of books it had.

Of course, it is impossible for him to view the entire directory index.

That is a task that cannot be accomplished with the naked eye.

The collection of books in Qinghua University Library is worth more than one million.

However, the collection of books on computer science is very small. The few books and magazines that exist are all from many years ago, and there are even fewer recent foreign magazines.

We started late in computer science. If we cannot fully learn from the experience of advanced Western countries and rely entirely on our own exploration, we simply cannot afford the time and manpower required.

Yes, it’s manpower!

The rise of any cutting-edge science requires the full dedication of a large number of highly qualified scientific researchers. As technology becomes increasingly advanced, the role of a few geniuses will become increasingly diminished.

The era when an entire discipline could be supported by one or two geniuses is gradually fading away.

Scientific disciplines are becoming increasingly specialized.

Even a side discipline requires a lot of manpower.

I relied entirely on my own to figure things out, and even managed to get all 7 or so people from Class in without causing any ripples.

In scientific research, direction is the most important thing.

If you can't find the right direction, you will work yourself to death but won't get any results.

The guidance of pioneers is crucial.

Two days later, Liu Hongyi wrote a report and handed it to his homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhao Yuanfang.

This report lists a large amount of "research data", but in the final analysis, there is only one sentence - buy books!

Buying a large number of books, especially foreign monographs on computer science, professional journals, and semi-professional journals are the nutrients that the computer major at Qinghua University needs most.

After receiving this research report, Professor Zhao Yuanfang attached great importance to it and immediately asked Liu Hongyi to meet with him.

"Student Liu Hongyi, please take a seat..."

Professor Zhao does not have his own office and shares a large office with other teachers.

These days, no place is rich, including Qinghua University.

"Xiao Liu, I've read your report... Tell me, why did you buy so many books? Have you already mastered everything your teachers have taught you?"

Professor Zhao was in his fifties, with a gaunt face, and wore glasses for severe myopia, looking at him with sharp eyes.

Liu Hongyi asked in return: "Teacher, we have Class 7. How many professional teachers do we have in total?"

"Four!"

"But there are forty-six students in Class 7."
