Taking the high-speed train, Xu Chuan returned to Jinling from the capital.
Also following him was Zheng Hai, the driver assigned to him by the above.
He is said to be a driver, but actually he also means to act as a guard for him to protect his safety.
However, there are some differences from full-time guards. Zheng Hai does not follow Xu Chuan around the clock. Usually, after sending Xu Chuan to the destination, he will find a place to stay by himself so as not to affect his activities. However,
The situation of being on call.
As for Xu Chuan, although he was accompanied by someone, he didn't feel much different from usual.
The main reason is that Zheng Hai's normal sense of presence is too low.
He has an ordinary face, and when he is not performing tasks, he has no special temperament at all. He disappears immediately when he is lost in the crowd. Except for daily driving, it is almost difficult to feel his presence at other times.
All I can say is that people who come from special places are still capable.
...
At Nanjing University, an inconspicuous car stopped at the gate of the school. Xu Chuan unbuckled his seat belt, glanced at Zheng Hai in the driver's seat, and asked:
"Do you have a place to stay? Do you need me to make arrangements for you?"
Zheng Hai quickly turned around and replied: "Yes, no need to trouble you. Actually, I am on a business trip. Whether I stay in a hotel or a guest house, I can be reimbursed."
"Okay, I won't make any arrangements. You can find a place to live by yourself."
Xu Chuan nodded, opened the door, got out of the car and walked into Nanda. For people like Zheng Hai, they usually have their own standards of conduct. If he makes arrangements, he might make things difficult for the other party.
Following a familiar road, he arrived at the staff dormitory of NTU.
Skillfully, he found the villa of university tutor Chen Zhengping. Although the door was open, Xu Chuan still pressed the doorbell, and soon there was movement inside.
"Who is it? The door is open, come in."
A voice came, and with it, an old lady walked out in a hurry.
"Master's Wife."
Seeing the old lady walking out, Xu Chuan smiled and called out, she was the wife of his mentor Chen Zhengping.
Seeing Xu Chuan, Tian Jiangxiang, the teacher's wife, was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, and she greeted: "Xiao Chuan is here, come in, come in and sit down, when will you be back?"
[The problem of slow update of new chapters will be resolved soon.
As a favor, I would like to ask if there is a suitable materials research institute here in Jinling. I would like to buy one if needed."
"It doesn't need to be too big. The total price does not exceed 20 million. It is mainly used for research in the two fields of carbon materials and polymer energy membrane materials."
Establishing a private research institute is one of the things he needs to do before officially launching a national project.
Although he has now gotten on line with the higher-ups and communicated about some subsequent developments, it can basically be said that as long as he has needs and can provide normal application materials, the higher-ups will provide him with scientific research funds.
But he still wants to build a private research institute of his own.
Sometimes, if something is inconvenient, or is not supported by the higher authorities, or it is something that he does not want to study together with the higher authorities, he can put it into his own private research institute.
Moreover, he also has a family and needs to leave something behind. At least, achieving financial freedom and letting his family no longer worry about money is what he should do.
"Materials Research Institute? Carbon materials and polymer energy membrane materials?"
Chen Zhengping was stunned for a moment, and then thought quickly: "There are quite a few materials research institutes here in Jinling, but few of them meet your goals."
"General materials research institutes will only study one of carbon materials and polymer membrane materials."
"Of course, the main reason is that your budget is limited, 20 million, and you can't buy a very good materials research institute with this budget."
"Well, let me ask you this, do you want to buy it for your own use or not? If it is for your own use, I suggest you build one yourself. Although it is smaller, you can choose whether it is the environment or the equipment.
And customized, more in line with your own requirements."
Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "It would be too time-consuming to build a new one. Just buy one and use it first, just to practice. Anyway, the investment is not much."
Chen Zhengping burst into laughter: "Twenty million, you really don't regard money as money? This should be your private investment, right? I guess all the bonuses and various rewards you have received over the years have been invested in it, right?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Well, that's about right. It's nothing. I'll just make more money after I run out."
He has won many large and small prizes over the years, with various bonuses and awards amounting to around 20 million.
In addition, he stayed in Princeton for three years and made some money by investing in a fund company there. At present, he has a total of about 30 million in cash.
Therefore, investing 20 million in the Materials Research Institute is nothing to him.
And he can guarantee that if he invests 20 million today, he will be able to reap at least 2 billion in returns within a year at most...
Scientific research, as long as there are suitable results, can be quickly converted into massive funds.
Chen Zhengping didn't give much advice. He knew Xu Chuan's character. Although he seemed very gentle on the surface, like a handsome scholar who stepped out of a book, he would actually do whatever he decided to do no matter what.
He nodded and said, "In that case, I'll help you look for it."
"Then I'd like to trouble you, teacher."
.......
After having lunch at his tutor's house, Xu Chuan said goodbye and left. He walked on the campus and looked at the quiet school with a smile on his face.
It is now mid-to-late August, and NTU has not yet started school. There are not many people in the school. But in about ten days, another group of new students will step into this kind of campus just like him a few years ago, and they will be happy and prosperous.
, strive to grow.
Thinking about it, he thought of his sister.
That girl Xu Xiao graduated from her senior year of high school in June this year. Her grades were pretty good. She got a score of 703 points. In addition to the gold medal she won at the International Olympiad, including the Olympiad bonus points, her total score exceeded 720 points.
.
Domestic universities select this grade at random.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the girl chose Shuimu University, which he had just visited yesterday, majoring in biochemistry. It not only fulfilled her dream, but also fulfilled her dream.
Xu’s father and Xu’s mother’s dream.
At first, he did not go to Shuimu Peking University, but finally chose Nanjing University. Xu's father and Xu's mother were still a little regretful.
After all, in the opinion of the older generation
China, Shuimu, and Peking University are the best institutions in the country. Being admitted to these two schools is a blessing.
The only one who is a little sad and depressed is probably Old Tang from Star City No. 1 Middle School.
At first, he took Xu Chuan to study physics and cultivated him as the most important child. However, Xu Chuan went to study mathematics in his senior year of high school.
Later, when Xu Xiao came over, he took Physics with him and trained him as a key talent, hoping to continue the glory of the previous year.
After all, although Xu Chuan went to study mathematics, he also won a gold medal in the physical competition.
The result was good, that girl ran away to study chemistry and biology in her second year of high school, completely leaving physics.
Two good prospects left him one after another, which made him extremely depressed.
...
After handling some matters in Jinling, Xu Chuan took the high-speed train back to his hometown.
In June, he was in Princeton and missed Xu Xiao's college entrance examination. In order to make up for it, he agreed to send her to start school.
It's almost September now, and it's time to redeem this promise.
By the way, when I visited Academician Peng Hongxi at Shuimu University, I agreed that Shuimu University would give a lecture there, so it would be nice to complete it together.
After staying in his hometown for a few days, Xu Chuan and Xu Xiao rushed to the capital before school started.
At the end of August, the day before Xu Xiao entered school, he received the news from above.
After more than half a month of discussions, and after referring to some opinions from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, the senior management finally decided on the result.
A series of projects such as the mechanism of nuclear beta radiation energy accumulation and conversion into electrical energy, the research and development of normal temperature superconducting materials, the ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence control system... have been confirmed.
The general person in charge of the project is Xu Chuan, and the project will be launched in phases. The first phase of the project is the nuclear beta radiation energy aggregation and conversion mechanism proposed by Xu Chuan. The first batch of scientific research funds is one billion, which has been allocated to a special account...
One billion scientific research funds can be said to be quite large.
In China's past scientific research, only a handful of the first batch of funds could reach this figure.
Chen Zhengping’s original tungsten diselenide material research and development project only had a research fund of more than 10 million.
Of course, Xu Chuan's one billion is not all used for scientific research and development. It also includes the establishment of a nuclear energy laboratory, the purchase of corresponding equipment, and the recruitment of talents.
It sounds like a lot, but for a project like nuclear energy, it actually costs money very quickly.
Not to mention other things, a nuclear engineering and nuclear technology laboratory requires hundreds of millions of funds to build. In addition, there is also the purchase of various equipment required for experiments, etc. These things all require a huge amount of money.
As for the work before the nuclear energy laboratory is fully constructed, Xu Chuan plans to borrow the Institute of Atomic Nuclear Research of the Academy of Sciences in Shanghai to carry out the work.
Compared with the nuclear waste eliminated from nuclear power plants, the radioactivity of ordinary nuclear fuel is almost negligible. Even high-concentration uranium raw materials such as uranium yellow and uranium cake can be directly handled without causing much impact on the human body.
Of course, the premise is that it does not enter the human body, such as the lungs, nasal cavity, eyes, etc.
'Nuclear' is a word that makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it, because it refers to nuclear weapons and nuclear pollution, which are extremely destructive things. However, before the chain reaction starts, the nuclear fuel can actually be used with ordinary plastic gloves and goggles.
Masks and other items are enough protection.
Ordinary nuclear materials, such as uranium ore and uranium metal, are not very dangerous.
In ancient times, the ancients also used the special color of uranium ore to color porcelain and glaze materials.
For example, famous porcelains such as tea sets, Jianzhan, and Longyao Chai porcelain used by the royal family in the Song Dynasty were glazed with uranium ore.
The facilities inside the Institute of Atomic Nuclear Research of the Academy of Sciences in Shanghai are sufficient to complete this step of research.
.......
After the high-level decision-making was completed, the relevant approval documents were quickly issued.
After receiving the approval document, Xu Chuan found Han Jin.
exist
In the days since he left, this competent person in charge has contacted and selected some nuclear physics researchers. The number is not large, only ten. However, these ten people have the lowest academic qualifications of postdoctoral or above, and all have considerable scientific research achievements.
experience.
This is what Xu Chuan requested.
The first batch of scientific researchers were not very skilled. The mechanism of nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration and conversion into electrical energy was a technology that he had perfected in his previous life. He was like a prophet, knowing very well how many people and steps were needed to perfect this technology.
What steps.
...
The first meeting of this small group was in the hotel where Xu Chuan lived.
Hotel manager Xia Huarong arranged a small conference room.
In the conference room, Han Jinwen sat on one side of the first chair, while the other five recruited scientific researchers were scattered on both sides, communicating and discussing in low voices, and were very curious about the vacant seat.
At first, they thought Professor Han was the person in charge of the project, but later they learned that Han Jin was not the person in charge, and that someone else was in charge.
Several researchers were curious about this mysterious boss, and also a little worried about whether this project was reliable...
After all, on the surface, this is obviously a newly established project, and the conditions Han Jin offered when recruiting them were quite favorable.
The annual salary is 150,000 yuan during the probationary period, and the annual salary is 200,000 yuan after becoming a full-time employee. After half a year of probation and becoming a full-time employee, you can apply for the position of intern researcher; after one year of becoming an intern researcher, you can become a full-time researcher.
For domestic scientific researchers, this attraction is simply fatal.
What makes these researchers excited is not the annual salary of 200,000 yuan, but the fact that they can be converted into full researchers after one year as intern researchers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Domestic formal researchers can be regarded as full professor positions in universities to some extent. They can have their own laboratories, apply for independent scientific research funds, and engage in independent research.
Research work, hire other postdocs, assistant researchers, etc.
Various benefits and benefits are much higher than those of assistant researchers and postdoctoral fellows.
In addition to regular benefits, formal researchers can also participate in dividends from research and development projects, and even have patent rights for part of scientific research results, etc.
But in China, it is very difficult to become a formal researcher. To become a doctoral student, if you are in a university, you must first study for a postdoctoral degree, then choose a professor to be an assistant, and then become an associate professor after completing the assistantship.
After becoming an associate professor, you can become a full professor and become a formal researcher.
This routine process will take at least six to eight years to complete.
In six to eight years, according to the domestic study system, by the time they become formal researchers, they will be basically forty years old.
At the age of forty, it can be said that the golden research career of a scientific researcher has passed. It is basically impossible to make any achievements again.
But now, you can become a formal researcher in one and a half years.
This shortened the time by a full five or six years, and the future will undoubtedly be much brighter.
But, does the boss of this project really have the ability to provide them with such benefits?
After all, whether it is a national university or a scientific research institution, the number of official researcher positions is limited each year. In the past, it could be said that positions that had to be fought for or grinded out over time now seem to be within reach.
is it possible?
Is the boss of this project really so capable?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and a young man who looked unusually young walked in.
After seeing the young man's face clearly, and after Han Jin stood up and called the boss, everyone in the office was stunned, with their mouths open in disbelief.
