He Shuo's residence was very small, but Ye Zhou planned to talk to him about some relatively sensitive content, so the three of them went downstairs and entered the special car driven by Wu Ping.

After getting on the bus, Ye Zhou spoke:

"I read your resume and it's very good. To be honest, from my perspective, it was the right decision to make the decision to resign at that time, because it really can't bear your abilities."

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, He Shuo nodded silently.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Zhou continued:

"Of course, this is just my polite words. When you come here today, you must have known my purpose, and you want to persuade you to stay."

"Thank you for your kindness."

He Shuo looked up at Ye Zhou and continued:

"Mr. Ye, I know you are a genius and can do what you have done at your age. I can't think of a second word to describe it. However, I don't think you really understand my situation."

"You might think that I left Dawn because I was not satisfied with my talent or had no relationship with my leader, but I want to tell you that this is not the case."

"I received great attention at dawn, and my relationships are actually good. The only reason I left is..."

"You think the direction of Dawn is wrong, and think that this company has not really assumed the responsibility he deserves, and has not produced breakthrough results like Shu Fei, right?"

Ye Zhou directly interrupted He Shuo's words.

"...Yes, I don't think my idea is wrong. What we need now is not to keep our true colors, but to move forward at any cost."

"Everyone at Dawn is too conservative, they are afraid of failure. But if there is no failure, how can we succeed?"

"One or two failures are nothing. As long as the final result is good, we can completely turn the situation around with those results."

"Just like you, the first thing you are aiming at is a lithography machine. Do you know that you will succeed before doing it? If they follow the Dawn idea, they will not be 5nm, but 14nm first. But by the time we build a 14nm lithography machine, the West has long gone to 3nm. What's the point of 14nm at this time?"

He Shuo's expression was sincere. He had complaints about Liming's working style, or he was not satisfied with Fengfei's working style, but this dissatisfaction did not turn into resentment, but was just a simple regret.

After listening to his words, Ye Zhou replied:

"Your idea makes sense. Failure is indeed the mother of success, but I have another question to ask you."

"Have you ever wondered if we could take on two large projects that failed at the same time?"

"Their positioning is very clear, one pointing to a breakthrough and the other pointing to the basic plate. If any of them is missing, it will bring us a painful price."

"Of course, we can also ask Liming to be enterprising when making turbofan 18, try the latest technology and use the latest technology, but what if it fails?"

"If it fails, the consequence we will bear is that for a very long time, our engines cannot be iterated. Am I right?"

"...Yes, but this reason is not enough to convince me, because even without me, they can create a turbofan18."

Ye Zhou smiled, first glanced at Chen Hao, and then continued to say:

"Indeed, everyone will still turn after this earth leaves, but what if I tell you, the purpose of my search for you this time is not for WT18?"

"Not Turbofan18?"

He Shuo frowned.

Ye Zhou was not surprised by his reaction.

As early as more than a month ago, He Shuo had already exposed his tendency to resign, and the flower carpet project was only passed on to the core leadership of the Dawn Factory three days ago.

Due to the principle of confidentiality, the scope of information transmission of this project is strictly controlled, and only senior researchers who have been reviewed are informed of a limited project background.

Although He Shuo was already the top researcher at the Liming Factory, he was excluded from the review due to his unstable factors.

This can actually be considered a procedural imperfection, because the reason why He Shuo left was not because he had any moral or position. On the contrary, his departure was entirely due to considerations that were beneficial to the country.

He didn't want to use his wooden board that could have been used for shipbuilding on the repair tank.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou explained:

"We have a new project that is very difficult and requires a lot of researchers, especially in terms of thermal power."

"Or the engine? What exactly is it?"

He heard Ye Zhou’s words “new project”, and He Shuo became interested in it instantly.

"Sorry, I can't tell you that the confidentiality level of this project is very high. Only when you confirm that you want to join and pass the review can you know the details of the project."

"...How do I know this is not the way you want to keep me?"

Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"This question has no meaning. You have also seen the two people sitting in front of you now, I know you. This one is Chen Hao, the commander-in-chief of the last chip project."

"Do you think it would be difficult for us to call a few thermal power experts in China together?"

"To be honest, the reason why I came to you today is purely due to respect for you."

"Because I know what you want, and I happen to have it, I don't want you to miss this opportunity."

He Shuo leaned silently on the seat, his hands unconsciously hitting his thighs, his face slightly confused, as if he was thinking carefully whether to accept the olive branch Ye Zhou extended to him.

After a long time, he asked:

"So, in your opinion, what do I want?"

"One echo."

"echo?"

"Yes, in my opinion, what you need is echo, or feedback."

"Before this, you can't see the meaning of your work, because you feel that the results you have made have had too little impact on the world."

"While these achievements may still cause huge discussions in China, you know, once they are thrown into the world for comparison, it is like a stone sinking into the Mariana Trench and there will be no response."

"This is why you have excellent political review results and extremely loyal in the organization, but you are still determined to leave Dawn Aircraft. This is not a betrayal, but..."

Ye Zhou paused for a moment, continued to say:

"It's a higher degree of loyalty. I'm right?"

"... That's right. OK, you're almost going to convince me. But, I want to confirm it at the end. Can I ask a question?"

"As long as I don't have any secrets, I can answer."

He Shuo nodded and asked:

"I want to ask, what is the purpose of this project? I am not referring to the technical purpose, but... I don't know how to describe it, but you should understand it, right?"

"Of course, I understand what you mean."

Ye Zhou looked out the window. At this time, the sunset was pouring on this plain made of black soil. The sounds of children laughing and fighting after school were faintly echoed in the golden air.

He looked at the passersby who were occasionally passing by on the road. The faces of those people often had some worldly wood, but under that kind of wood, he seemed to see another kind of power.

A tough, deeply buried, yet never dissipated force.

Just like this land.

After retracting his gaze, Ye Zhou said seriously:

"Actually, the purpose is very simple."

"We want to build something."
Chapter completed!
