[PS: Sorry, I just finished it this morning.]
"Hancock, why are you here?" When Lee saw Hancock in the interview waiting area, he was very shocked. He didn't expect that even a person like Hancock would apply for a Daqian researcher position.
It seems that the Daqian is really a place that doesn't live up to its reputation. They even recruit idiots like black people! Li Zai cursed in his heart. His impression of Da Qian plummeted again, even though he didn't have any impression of Da Qian to begin with.
"I submitted my paper to the Daqian, and they told me to come for the interview. I didn't expect to be here!" Hancock said with surprise.
"Why? Don't you want to stay as a professor?" Lee asked.
"I don't want to, Lee. You are right. This is not a place where people of color can realize their dreams, but there are always places in this world that can make my dreams come true!" Hancock said. On the surface, Lee expressed his approval, but in fact, only he knew what was going on in his mind.
"By the way, didn't you say that you won't go back to your home country?" Hancock asked.
"Nothing. I just want to go back to China. Maybe there will be opportunities there!" Lee said vaguely, but Hancock didn't suspect anything. The two of them sat quietly in the waiting area, waiting for the interview.
However, there were a lot of people who came to interview for the Daqian researcher position this time. There were about 60 people on the scene, and this was the number of people who had already gone through a round of selection.
Hancock knew almost all of the people here. They were either experienced researchers or talented young graduate students and doctoral students who had just graduated in recent years. There were even two who had become professors. They were all waiting for the interview.
"They all want to go to the Daqian to do research!" Lee was surprised to see so many people.
It was unbelievable that so many people didn't want to be citizens of a superior country, but went to work in an inferior country.
"Maybe it's because they pay more!" Hancock guessed. He had to go to the Daqian because he didn't have any income. After all, he had to find a way to survive.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. We are going to the Daqian because the Daqian gave us the opportunity to do research!" A blonde researcher next to him was unhappy and retorted directly, "I am doing quantum computer research, but the school didn't approve my project. They said I was wasting my time. Only the Daqian has quantum computer research. If I don't go to the Daqian, where else can I go?"
"That's an unreliable thing to begin with … How could this thing be developed without hundreds of years of research and development?" Li Xiaosheng complained in his mind.
"What about the other two professors?" Hancock asked in a low voice. "Why do they want to go to the Daqian?"
"Professor Hook is researching the Pan-Local Area Network joint communication computing technology. He needs a more powerful supercomputer to assist in his research. At present, only the Heavenly Path supercomputer launched by the Daqian this year can meet Professor Hook's needs. The professor is attracted by this supercomputer, so he went to the Daqian!" The blonde researcher knew a lot and explained to them directly.
"What about the other professor?"
"He … Hehe, he can't stay here anymore. Several students have reported him for academic fraud. If he stays at Yale, he will be finished sooner or later, so he wants to find another job!"
"Most of the people here have the above reasons. Either their projects are not supported by the school, or only the Daqian provides scientific research equipment, or the Daqian pays them too well!"
"Ah, I didn't expect that one day I would go to Hua Xia to do research. If I had just entered Yale, I would have thought it was more unreliable than an alien invasion!" The blonde man shook his head. At this time, the interviewer just happened to read the blonde man's name, so he quickly went in.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the blonde man came out happily. Judging by his appearance, he had passed the interview.
However, Hancock couldn't help but ask.
"I have passed. I need to arrive at Hua Xia within a month!" The blonde man said excitedly, "I didn't expect these Daqian people to think so highly of me. When they heard that I was researching quantum computers, they looked at my paper and basically decided to use me!"
"I even received an interview from Professor Guo Guangcan. Although it was a video interview through a mobile phone screen, it was enough to see this quantum computing guru in my lifetime!"
"God, if I had known that Professor Guo Guangcan would be in charge of this project, I would have gone to Huaxia two years ago … But the time given by the Huaxia people is too short. There's only one month. I don't even have time to clean myself up. Anyway, I'll go first. Good luck!" The blonde man left in high spirits, which made Hancock envious.
Next, more than a dozen researchers came in for the interview one after another, but these people all failed the interview, including the professor who wanted to run away. It seemed that he had been rejected.
Well, the professor was basically sure that he had been rejected because when he left the interview room, the professor pointed at the interviewers in the interview room and scolded them. He said that they pretended to know when they didn't know, that they didn't know what was good for them, that they were terrible uneducated, and so on. He seemed to have never thought that a dignified Yale professor like himself could be rejected.
In the end, the professor left with the help of the security guard.
However, another professor completed the interview very smoothly. After less than two minutes, he was personally escorted out of the interview room by several interviewers.
After nearly four hours, it was finally Hancock's turn when his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
Hancock entered the interview room nervously and found that there were only three interviewers, all of whom looked Hua Xia. He didn't know any of them, so he could only look around nervously to see if there was any trash on the ground.
According to some of the interview techniques he had seen, if there was trash on the ground during the interview, one must pick it up immediately and throw it into the trash can. This was because this was a test given by the interviewer to test the interviewee's character.
Hancock was ready to pick up all the trash, but unfortunately, the entire interview room was very clean. There was no trash at all, which made Hancock very disappointed.
"You wrote this paper, right?" An interviewer took out Hancock's paper. It was the paper that used tape to peel off the graphite layer.
"Is there any problem with my paper?" Hancock asked nervously. Could it be that the interviewer thought that this paper was too ridiculous?
"Well, besides you, does anyone else know about this paper?" The interviewer asked again.
"This is an experiment that I completed independently. Besides me, only my supervisor and my good friend Li know about this paper!" Hancock said.
"This is a bit troublesome!" Several interviewers knocked on the table, as if they were very concerned about this paper.
