Another Invitation

During this time, Han Yang never stopped attending lectures. There were 20 university lecturers, a total of 20 courses, 20 classes every day, and he didn't miss a single one.

Although the courses the lecturers were teaching were relatively introductory and wouldn't be of much direct benefit to Han Yang's current specific tasks, Han Yang still felt the advantages of this systematic way of learning a subject.

Systematic learning teaches a general way of thinking and methods for solving problems. It delves into the essence of a series of similar problems. By grasping this essence, one can independently derive solutions when faced with problems that vary greatly in type but are identical in nature.

Han Yang's questions to Professor Zhang Dong and other members of the advisory group were like asking a teacher "22*36" before learning multiplication; the advisory group members would directly provide the answer.

The systematic learning he was doing now was learning the skill of multiplication. Once learned, no matter if the problem was "22*36" or "15*56," he could solve it himself.

This brought about a change in his logical approach. It didn't speed up Han Yang's current manufacturing process, but it improved his problem-solving ability.

When encountering problems, Han Yang tried to use the knowledge he had learned to think and experiment on his own, achieving better results than before.

If not for this, Han Yang's manufacturing process might have been even slower than it was now.

"The scale of Zhi Xue Web must continue to expand. We need to invite more teachers from more industries and in greater numbers to give lectures."

Han Yang secretly made up his mind.

At this moment, after two months of intense work, the manufacturing of the new generation of CPUs was nearing completion, entering the final stage.

Although the final stage was the most difficult and complex step, at least, the dawn of hope had appeared.

At this stage, Han Yang began to think about other issues.

Once the new generation of CPUs was built and his computing power increased again, according to the previous plan, the underground base should begin construction.

Because it had to be hidden and all engineering work had to be done by himself, Han Yang had to master the relevant technologies before starting.

"Hmm, building an underground base involves disciplines such as engineering, architecture, geology, water supply and drainage, circuits, heat dissipation..."

With a rough estimate, Han Yang listed the names of more than twenty disciplines.

Yunshan University also had corresponding professional settings. As the saying goes, one matter doesn't trouble two masters, so Han Yang simply entrusted this matter to Zhang Dong again, asking Zhang Dong to contact teachers from the relevant disciplines to start giving lectures.

Zhang Dong readily agreed and repeatedly thanked Han Yang.

During this time, among all the professors and lecturers at Yunshan University, who didn't know the great name of Zhi Xue Web? This name had even broken through the scope of Yunshan University, and teachers from other institutions had also heard of it.

Who didn't know that Zhi Xue Web paid generously, had little work, and was close to home? No, it wasn't close to home, but could be done directly from home.

An extra income of over ten thousand yuan per month was something everyone envied.

Unfortunately, currently Zhi Xue Web only used an invitation system, and ordinary teachers had no way to sell their knowledge for a good price.

During this time, countless teachers came to Zhang Dong to inquire indirectly, or subtly or directly express their desire to teach on Zhi Xue Web. But Zhang Dong had no choice but to politely refuse.

Now, was it finally time to start inviting again?

Flipping through the list of teachers who had come to him during this time and expressed their interest, Zhang Dong began to think.

"It's a pity, this time we're only inviting teachers in geology, architecture, and engineering. Lao Zhou and Lao Sun won't work, what a shame. Lao Wang, on the other hand, might be suitable. His research in interior design is quite good."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Dong directly dialed Lao Wang's number: "Lao Wang, it's me, Zhang Dong. Here's the thing, Zhi Xue Web is starting a new round of invitations, and I think your major is very suitable. Do you want to give it a try? Okay, okay, wait for my notification."

That evening, Lao Wang brought his wife and gifts to Zhang Dong's house.

"Lao Wang, what are you doing? We've been friends for over ten years, no need, no need..."

Zhang Dong's wife looked at her husband's current appearance, seeing his colleagues from the school being respectful, her face almost blooming with smiles, and her determination to support her husband's career became even stronger.

She knew very well who had given them all this. There could not be the slightest carelessness in Manager Han's matters; they had to be handled well.

She originally thought that sending Lao Wang away would be the end of it. But Zhang Dong didn't expect this to be just the beginning.

The next day, Zhang Dong was very surprised to receive a notification from the department head, asking him to come to his office.

Upon arriving at the office, the usually stern department head personally poured Zhang Dong tea and chatted with a smiling face for a long time. Afterward, he casually said, "I heard that Zhi Xue Web is going to invite another batch of teachers to join recently? Do you think I'm suitable?"

At this moment, the department head was like a job seeker, full of anticipation, full of anxiety, and even a little nervous.

At this moment, Zhang Dong felt a slight trance.

This matter had indeed leaked out.

"You, you are the department head..."

The department head sighed.

"Times are different now... Back then, college students were the pride of the heavens, and university teachers like us were even more so, respected wherever we went.

But now... you know it too, knowledge is worthless, and university teachers like us are not valued. I may look like a department head, a leader of sorts, but it's just a facade; I earn a meager 7,000 yuan fixed salary every month, not enough to support my family.

Your sister-in-law argued with me a few days ago, saying we have to be stingy even when buying a computer for the child, sigh."

The department head's face was full of sorrow.

Zhang Dong also sighed.

No matter how much knowledge Earthlings had, could it compare to the Ita? Doing scientific research? What future was there in scientific research? The Ita could casually produce a technology that was more advanced than the results of thousands of scientists working hard for decades.

In this era, there was no future in scientific research. The key was to curry favor with the Ita and get new technologies from them. Earthlings only needed to learn how to operate and use them.

Haven't you seen how majors like physics, mathematics, computer principles, and hardware development in universities have all declined in recent years, while various applied majors have become popular?

There was no other reason; learning to operate various Ita technological creations meant finding a job upon graduation.

And Yunshan University happened to be an institution that focused more on basic principles.

Remembering the department head's character and how he had taken care of ordinary teachers like himself in the past, Zhang Dong sighed: "Director, it's not that I'm unwilling to be flexible, but I'm just recruiting for Zhi Xue Web, and the disciplines are determined by them. They don't need teachers in computer science this time, and there's nothing I can do..."
