There are many geniuses in the Royal Institute of Technology, but there really is no third super genius like Lin Hui. As for why not there is no second one, because there is another super genius, the director of the Department of Physics and Materials of the Royal Institute of Technology.
Chen Ziran.
It's hard to say who is more powerful between these two people, because they are both super awesome people, and they are good at a wide range of things. Although Lin Hui is the head of the Mechanical Department, his most proficient is theoretical physics. As for mechanical engineering
It's just his hobby.
Unfortunately, Chen Ziran is best at theoretical physics, and many of his achievements known to outsiders, namely steel and other materials science, are just his hobbies. In addition, he has also studied chemistry very deeply.
Well, no matter what era, few people who play theoretical physics are simple characters, and these two people are not simple.
Also, because both of them mainly study theoretical physics, there is only one director of physics. If both of them tried to grab it, no one would be able to grab it. In the end, they simply let a junior become the director of the physics department.
One of them dominates the mechanical department, and the other dominates the materials department, and neither of them obeys the other.
Leaving aside Chen Ziran and talking about Lin Hui, although he mainly studies theoretical physics, he is actually the number one person in mechanics in the Tang Empire, so he has been serving as the head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering for more than ten years.
The most core project: the leader of the steam engine project team led researchers from the Royal Institute of Technology to develop a steam engine, from a primitive steam engine to a mature low-pressure steam engine that can be widely used in industry, and now to the current
High pressure steam engine.
To put it bluntly, he alone supported the research and development of steam engines in the Tang Empire!
With such achievements, it is not surprising that he was awarded a series of honors by Li Xuan.
Although Liu Ping is the general manager of Zhaoqing Machinery Company, when he is outside, that is still his No. 1 task. When Zhaoqing Machinery Company decided to invest in Shanghai and establish a production base in the North Coast Development Zone, even local star officials such as Chen Lifu
You have to entertain him with a smile.
But in the Royal Institute of Technology, his status and title are of no use. He can't even see Lin Hui. Not only can't he see him today, but he has never been successful in asking for a meeting...
In desperation, he could only do as usual, find the teaching office of the Royal Institute of Technology, try to find out the information, and then be the first to obtain the patent authorization for the new high-pressure steam engine.
So he went through a lot of trouble and found Hao Tianyun, the director of the Teaching Office of the Royal Institute of Technology. Hao Tianyun, the director of the teaching office, was much easier to deal with than the teachers and students.
Master Hao shouted out one after another, which made Hao Tianyun smile all over his face!
Then he heard Hao Tianyun say: "Brother Liu, I can guess why you came today. Isn't it just to get the patent authorization for the new steam engine? This is simple. Our Royal Institute of Technology has always welcomed the purchase of patents.
We welcome authorized partners, whether they are private enterprises or state-owned enterprises!"
"Furthermore, our Royal Institute of Technology has been cooperating with your Zhaoqing Machinery Company for so many years. We have cooperated on dozens of projects, including this new steam engine. In this way, as long as your company shows sincerity, I will make the decision.
, this patent authorization is given to your company!”
Hearing Hao Tianyun agree so readily, Liu Ping became a little doubtful. Does Hao Tianyun know the importance of this high-pressure steam engine? Just kidding.
This Hao Tianyun has been working at the Royal Institute of Technology for nearly ten years, and has been the director of the Teaching Office for three years. He knows very well what technology is valuable, and he is still an old man. He is almost out of luck, and this person does not.
No matter what kind of bribes or other benefits he wants, he just wants money. Why does he want money?
Use it as R&D funding for those lunatics at the Royal Institute of Technology!
Meeting the R&D funding needs of those lunatics at the Royal Institute of Technology is Hao Tianyun’s most important, even his only mission. How will this money come from? Rely on treasury allocations? Impossible. The Tang Empire has never directly allocated funds to the Royal Institute of Technology.
Following the precedent of polytechnics, all of this money is obtained from licensing technology licensing fees.
The Royal Institute of Technology has to lie on the bodies of many domestic enterprises every year and suck countless blood!
Countless domestic companies have a mixture of love and hate!
In the past cooperation between Zhaoqing Machinery Company and the Royal Institute of Technology, there was no time when this old guy didn't bite off a big bite of fat. He said it so happily today, there must be something fishy!
Sure enough, when he asked how much this sincerity would cost, Hao Tianyun said with a smile: "This steam engine is a long-term business, so it won't be a one-time buyout. So, we are thinking of paying part of it in one lump sum in the early stage, and in addition
Part of it is divided into shares. The specific amount depends on the sincerity of your company!
Liu Ping thought about it for a while, and then said: "If the new steam engine can indeed be used for mass production, then our company is willing to pay 50,000 yuan at a time, and then give you a 10% profit share for each steam engine produced!"
After hearing this, Hao Tianyun laughed, and did not answer directly, but said: "I wonder if Mr. Liu knows how much money we have spent on developing this damn high-pressure steam engine in the past ten years?"
When Liu Ping heard this, he knew that this matter might be beyond his expectation, but he still replied: "How much?"
Hao Tianyun said: "You can take a guess!
Liu Ping said: "Two hundred thousand? No, five hundred thousand?"
After hearing this, Hao Tianyun stood up immediately and said: "Half a million? That's just a fraction at most. In order to develop this high-pressure steam engine, our Royal Institute of Technology has allocated a total of three funds to the project team in the past ten years.
More than a million!”
Hao Tianyun naturally would not say that most of the money was actually spent on the research and development of basic technologies such as various materials, processing techniques, and equipment. The steam engine project itself could not spend so much. Well, the research and development funds for the steam engine also include
Developed and improved low-pressure steam engines.
But Liu Ping didn't know, so when he heard this number, Liu Ping was speechless...
Crazy, these are all a bunch of lunatics!
I have long heard that the people at the Royal Institute of Technology are a bunch of lunatics, but I didn’t expect it to be true!
In order to develop a crappy machine, they invested more than three million yuan. The total profit of their Zhaoqing Machinery Company in the past ten years has not been that much. There are even several poorer provinces, such as northeastern Gansu provinces, whose annual fiscal revenue is
Not so much!
It is understandable that Lin Hui's scientific researchers are crazy. After all, there are not many normal people among the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology. But this Hao Tianyun is not a scientific researcher, and he is not even one of the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology.
Member, he is a serious civil servant.
The Royal Institute of Technology has two systems. One is the scientific research and teaching institution within the college. It consists of committees composed of heads of departments, and then subordinate project teams, as well as grade heads at all levels, class monitors, and internal management of teachers and students.
,The allocation of research funds is managed internally.
Another system is the Teaching Office, and this Teaching Office is purely a logistics organization, with officials dispatched by the Hanlin Academy to serve in various positions. The early mission was actually to take care of the daily lives of teachers and students, and later it was expanded to manage the research and development of the Royal Institute of Technology.
The various technologies that are developed earn funds through various patent licensing, and then meet the daily operations and scientific research needs of the Royal Institute of Technology, but to put it bluntly, they are just the role of housekeeper and nanny.
These officials are still officials no matter what, and they are incomparable to those lunatics of teachers and students.
But today it seems that this Hao Tianyun is also a lunatic!
More than three million, just for a high-pressure steam engine, this is simply crazy!
How much patent licensing fees do they have to charge to recoup the R&D costs of more than three million? One million to two million is probably impossible.
The gap between the two sides is so big that there is no way to talk about it!
Liu Ping simply didn't plan to get a breakthrough from Hao Tianyun. This man was a vampire. He probably wouldn't be willing to bite off a big piece of meat from his company.
Besides, the development of a high-pressure steam engine was just a rumor. Liu Ping had not seen it with his own eyes. To be honest, he still didn't believe it.
Zhaoqing Machinery Company does not have steam engine research and development projects, but it is very clear how difficult it is. The technical staff of their company said that it is almost impossible to build a high-pressure steam engine with the current technology.
He planned to see it with his own eyes before making any plans!
Besides, even if it is really done, there will be a certain amount of pressure from the Army, Ministry of Industry and other departments, and they will not be afraid of the Royal Institute of Technology licensing out the high-pressure steam engine technology.
Because looking at the entire empire, there are only three or four machinery companies with the technical capabilities to mass-produce steam engines, and their Zhaoqing Machinery Company is the best in terms of production technology and scale.
At that time, if you want to turn the high-pressure steam engine from the laboratory into a mass-produced industrial product, you still cannot do without Zhaoqing Machinery Company.
Just sit tight on Diaoyutai and let Hao Tianyun's more than three million go!
The Royal Institute of Technology are all lunatics, spending more than three million to develop steam engines. The people at Zhaoqing Machinery Company are not lunatics, and it is impossible to spend millions just to obtain the technology of high-pressure steam engines.
Liu Ping was thinking about how to obtain the technical authorization for high-pressure steam engines at the minimum cost, and Li Xuan's fleet also arrived at the Royal Institute of Technology!
The Royal Institute of Technology is not far from the Imperial Palace, both in the old city of Jinling, so it won't take long, otherwise Li Xuan wouldn't be able to visit it often.
Having come here many times, Li Xuan naturally has no interest in the Royal Institute of Technology campus. Although the current campus is completely different from the old campus, the entire campus is huge, with many various buildings, and there is a
More than a thousand teachers and students are engaged in teaching and research and development, and there are hundreds of teaching staff who serve these teachers and students.
Li Xuan led people directly across the outer campus and went straight to the building where the steam engine project team was located!
