Qin Hai was not surprised by Tang Rongmin's reaction. In that era, no one would invest such a large amount of scientific research funds in a university department. In fact, from the mid-1980s until the end of the last century, the entire country's
Investment in scientific research has always been maintained at a very low level, and scientific research funding in universities is even more pitiful. Many research departments are so stretched that they cannot even guarantee capitation fees, let alone carry out large-scale scientific research activities.
Because of this, in those years, China's scientific and technological development was far from ideal, and many outstanding scientific research talents had to leave China to seek their own development abroad. There were also scholars from some universities and scientific research institutions who could not bear the poverty.
Resolutely writing and doing business abroad is also a major loss for China's science and technology field.
In Qin Hai's view, since God gave him a chance to time travel, he has the obligation to make up for these regrets. His trip to Beijing University was only one purpose of seeking help, and the bigger purpose was to provide assistance to the scientific research department.
Provide some funds so that professors can sit down and do research quietly. Of course, it would be better if these research results can be used by them and produce actual economic benefits. Because this forms a virtuous cycle
, can continuously produce better results.
"Professor Tang, there is no need to be embarrassed. The 100 million funds I mentioned are invested in phases and batches. Our consideration is that as long as it is a technology that is helpful to our company, we will ask the teachers in your department to declare it boldly. We only look at the results, regardless of
The specific use of funds. In addition, we have enough patience. We can wait for one or two years, three or five years, or even ten or eight years. Although I have read little, I also know that excellent results cannot be achieved by
It can be accomplished overnight. I have also heard people say this saying that you have to sit on the bench for ten years." Qin Hai said.
"Are these funds provided by your factory?" Tang Rongmin, still in a brain-blackout state, asked dully.
Qin Hai nodded and said: "Yes, we sold thermal spray machines in the past few years and accumulated some funds. We plan to use these funds to develop new technologies to form our technical advantages."
"Besides ion implantation technology, what else are you paying attention to?" Tang Rongmin asked again.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Professor Tang has stopped me. I don't know what the experts in your department are doing, so I can't make any more requests at the moment. My idea is, ion implantation
Technology is definitely something we are interested in, and we are willing to invest the necessary funds for it. As for other technologies, as long as our teachers can think of them and have reasonable technical routes, the research results can be transformed into actual production technologies.
We will give you a warm welcome.”
"Great!" Tang Rongmin suddenly hit his palm with his fist, becoming excited like a young man, "Our teacher has a large number of research projects in his hands, but he lacks financial support. As long as there are funds invested, I will
I dare say that in just one or two years, we will definitely be able to produce a batch of results that are both theoretically advanced and of market value."
Qin Hai smiled slightly and said: "In that case, let's ask Professor Tang to make arrangements and listen to the teachers' opinions. I came here today to discuss a preliminary intention with Professor Tang. After you have considered it carefully in the future, we will
We can sign a more comprehensive agreement to discuss the rights and obligations of both parties, what do you think?"
"Absolutely! Comrade Xiao Qin, you have helped us a lot. Alas, if we could have received such support earlier, several of our very outstanding young teachers would not have left." Tang Rongmin said with emotion.
"I hope it's not too late to make amends," Qin Hai responded.
In fact, it's not that Qin Hai didn't expect to establish scientific research cooperation with top domestic universities such as Beijing University and Huaqing University earlier. It's just that his industry was still in the expansion stage in the past two years, and he didn't have much money and energy to do it.
Do this. In addition, domestic policies have fluctuated greatly before. Although Qin Hai is a time traveler, he does not dare to be too radical to avoid unnecessary trouble. Now, many things have been settled.
, a new round of reforms is about to begin, and Qin Hai feels that it is time for him to show off his skills.
The two discussed some details of cooperation, and Qin Hai stood up to leave. Tang Rongmin warmly invited Qin Hai to stay for dinner, but said that he could only entertain Qin Hai for a staff meal in the cafeteria. Qin Hai declined with a smile.
Accepting Tang Rongmin's kindness, he and Ning Jing exited Tang Rongmin's office.
When sending Qin Hai and Ning Jing away from the physics building, Tang Rongmin pointed at Ning Jing and said to Qin Hai: "Xiao Ning is a good student with both good character and academic performance. We have decided to recommend her to study as a graduate student in this department. It is a combination of master's and doctoral studies.
.”
"This is all the result of the education of the school teachers." Qin Hai said, "I don't know which teacher she will be recommended to."
Tang Rongmin said: "This depends on Xiao Ning's choice. By the way, Xiao Ning, you have been studying in our department for three years. Have you ever considered which teacher you want to do research with in the future?"
"I want...with Teacher Chen Zongze." Jing Jing replied timidly.
"Chen Zongze?" Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, "Xiaojing, do you want to be a superconductor?"
"Haha, Xiao Qin, it seems that you know the situation of our department very well!" Tang Rongmin said in surprise, "Professor Chen used to do condensed matter, but recently switched to superconducting, how come you heard this news?
?”
"Uh... I also heard someone mention it by chance. It seems that Professor Chen has made some achievements in the research of oxide superconductors in the liquid nitrogen temperature range." Qin Hai quickly covered it up and said.
Chen Zongze is also a great figure that Qin Hai is very familiar with in later generations. He has made many internationally leading results in the field of superconductivity. Some people once predicted that he might become the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
domestic scholar. However, at this time, he is not that famous yet. He has just begun research on superconducting theory, and in this field, the gap between China and foreign countries is still astonishingly wide.
"You are right. Professor Chen is indeed studying oxide superconductivity in the liquid nitrogen temperature range, but it is done by a team affiliated with the Academy of Sciences. The equipment conditions here are not as good as those of the Academy of Sciences. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money.
Ah." Tang Rongmin said.
Qin Hai stopped and asked: "Professor Tang, I would like to know how much investment is needed to establish a superconducting laboratory?"
This time it was Tang Rongmin's turn to be stunned. He paused for a while and then asked: "Xiao Qin, you don't want to help Professor Chen build a laboratory, do you? I thought about it for a while, and the set of things he built may be
It has little to do with your company. Superconducting technology is currently only a theoretical research, and it will take at least 20 more years to enter production practice. This is not in line with your cooperation requirements."
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the cooperation we just talked about. I just personally prefer superconductivity and think this thing is quite interesting. If Professor Chen intends to engage in superconducting research, and Xiaojing may become a
As a student of Professor Chen, I would like to help Professor Chen establish this superconducting laboratory."
"Qin Hai, you..." Jing Jing's eyes widened. She knew Qin Hai had money, but that's not the way to spend money, right? Just because she wanted to study under Chen Zongze's graduate program, Qin Hai planned to give Chen Zongze a scholarship.
What's going on in a laboratory? She wanted to object, but felt it was inappropriate. After all, this was a matter of cooperation between Qin Hai and the department. What right did she, a young undergraduate, have to intervene?
"Haha, I made a mistake. This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Jing." Qin Hai quickly corrected him, "I just think superconductivity is an interesting subject. I heard that our country is serious about superconductivity research.
We lag behind foreign countries, so we want to contribute in this area. Professor Tang, do you think you can give me a chance?"
Tang Rongmin sighed and said: "Xiao Qin, I really admire your sentiment. If our country's entrepreneurs can be like you, why worry about not improving the level of science and technology? In fact, our department is also in the national superconducting research field
As an important base, the laboratory already has a certain foundation. Of course, it is incomparable with similar laboratories in developed countries. If we can add a few key equipment, I believe our research will be even more powerful. These key equipment are very expensive.
And it costs foreign exchange to import from abroad..."
"Foreign exchange is not a problem." Qin Hai said simply, "Well, I don't have time to visit Professor Chen today. Could you please Professor Tang to convey my respect to him and ask him to make a list of the equipment he needs?"
I. Where possible, I try to help him get the equipment."
"Then I will thank Comrade Xiao Qin for Xiao Chen." Tang Rongmin said to Qin Hai solemnly.
Saying goodbye to Tang Rongmin, Qin Hai continued to push Ning Jing's bicycle and walked side by side with Ning Jing outside the campus. When the two of them reached a place where Tang Rongmin could not see, Ning Jing turned around, stared at Qin Hai and asked: "Qin Hai, are you crazy?
, just because I said I wanted to study under Professor Chen’s graduate program, you agreed to buy him equipment?”
Qin Hai smiled and said: "What's wrong with this? In this way, Lao Chen has a short mouth for eating people and a short hand for taking people, so he will have to treat you well."
"What old Chen! Teacher Chen is only in his 30s this year, okay?" Ning Jing corrected with a smile, and then asked seriously: "Qin Hai, you really agreed to help Teacher Chen buy equipment because of me.
Of?"
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "No, I am really interested in superconductivity. If you didn't mention Chen Zongze today, I would have really forgotten about it. By the way, Xiaojing, do you want to talk to Chen Zongze?"
If you want to do research, this is definitely the right choice. A lot of results can be achieved in the field of superconductivity. Maybe you can get a professor before you are 30 years old." (To be continued...)
