Because Dou Dou had pushed out an announcent directly, the previous points reward and punishnt asures remained unchanged, but the value of the points had gone up.
Not only could the points earned by individual projects be exchanged for previous benefits, but each point now ca with an additional bonus of two hundred thousand.
Even the points previously earned were included, and they had already been transferred directly into the accounts provided by the various labs.
The most, most, most important part was that the announcent clarified this money was for individuals and did not allow labs to intercept it. The system would automatically track the direction of the funds. Each project team within the labs would distribute the funds according to the personal contribution points evaluated by the system.
Really, when people first saw this ssage, many were stunned.
An extra two hundred thousand for one point of credit?
Just casually looking at the points ranking, you could see that the various labs had already obtained 703 points. In other words, they were about to distribute 1.4 billion all at once.
Based on the personal contribution points ranking, the top researcher could snag a one-ti bonus of 9.3 million. Even with a 45% tax on the portion over 960,000, they would still get nearly six million in hand. Even the person with the least contribution points would get two to three hundred thousand.
How to put it?!
Although everybody often cursed behind the back that the system Dou Dou created was inhumane, with absolutely no room for negotiation, and had complained about artificial intelligence being indifferent to human emotions, when it ca to money, it was truly bold in distribution!
I heard that even the university president was shocked by this.
He thought it was not good to distribute money like this and planned to use part of the bonus as supplentary research funds, but he was directly overruled.
The reason was also quite sufficient.
The money belonged to the Mathematics Research Institute's additional inco and had already been earmarked for personal bonuses.
The R&D expenses of the labs were in another account; the two types of money were not the sa.
People even heard another golden quip from Dou Dou.
"What do you know? This bonus is a sugar-coated bomb, it absolutely cannot be put into the deep-sea cluster system research funds. Our deep-sea cluster system requires 0 sugar! By adding sugar, who do you intend to sweeten things up for?"
Really, in just one day, Dou Dou had beco a god in the eyes of researchers from several labs.
Especially for those temp staff and struggling graduate students helping in the labs.
Even just doing odd jobs, they also got so contribution points.
With this bonus dispensed, it was basically like having a few years of tuition and living expenses reimbursed, with a surplus to boot.
From now on, adding chicken legs to als wouldn't even make them blink!
Who the heck dares to say Dou Dou isn't adorable?!
Step up, why don't you?!
There had been talk previously that those who joined the Qunzhi Project Team to do odds and ends had their red packets directly topped up with six hundred thousand. Many people didn't quite believe it, but this ti, everyone was convinced. This eye-blinking style of distributing money indeed ran in its veins.
Really, when this news gradually spread, all the labs were boiling over with excitent.
But, good things never co easy.
Before everyone's excitent had a chance to die down, another ssage ca out the next day.
The execution of the announcent was on hold; it was confird that soone had disagreed, so the heads of all the labs and research centers had to attend a eting at the Mathematics Research Institute that afternoon. The final bonus distribution sche would be decided based on the eting's outco.
Really, it was just that no one knew who this person with a differing opinion was, otherwise, it would have definitely been a scene.
So that afternoon, almost none of the workers in the labs and research centers felt like working anymore, with various rumors practically live-streaming the entire eting process.
...
Xilin University of Technology, Center for Material Structure Characterization and Performance Analysis.
Xu Zhengxing was sitting in his office studying a data chart from the model feedback, when he heard a commotion outside.
"The eting has started. I heard that Professor Qiao didn't show up and that Dou Dou represented the Mathematics Research Institute?"
"Pfft? Dou Dou?! For real, is this news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable! A good bro of my roommate was called in to take minutes for the eting, and he's giving real-ti updates."
"No way? They can use their phones during the eting?"
"Pah, it's not any serious eting. Didn't you hear Professor Qiao couldn't be bothered to attend? He let Dou Dou go in his stead..."
...
"Breaking news, breaking news, it's said they just discussed our bonus. Soone spoke up saying that the bonus design for graduate students and temp staff is too high, which is detrintal to our developnt and future planning! Disaster!"
"Who the hell is that?! So students don't have human rights, huh?"
"Exactly... when the computer takes its ti to produce results, aren't we the ones staying up all night in the lab? Even if we contribute less intellectually, nowadays when models are used, our physical contribution is even more significant."
"Sigh... I told you there are always so people who begrudge our well-being!"
...
Listening to the noise outside, Xu Zhengxing initially thought about going out and asking the young people to calm down.
But he had just put down his pen and changed his mind.
Better not.
This was a particularly sensitive ti.
In fact, Xu Zhengxing also had his complaints about this matter.
Such announcents with rewards should either not be issued, or if issued, should not be full of twists and turns that unnecessarily impact morale.
Their departnt was already on the fringe of a large-scale project, and yet they were affected like this. It wasn't hard to imagine the chaos within the newly established undersea cluster developnt center. After all, their departnt's contributions weren't the main focus, totaling a re 38 points.
Other labs related to materials generally had low scores as well.
But there wasn't much to complain about.
After all, their current work mainly relied on models, and they indeed weren't engaged in much work.
It was the structural engineering, communication, and sensing sectors in the engineering centers that were the big earners when it ca to points.
