Chapter 195: Application
After a few days of preparation, Zhao Li sent an application for a fusion laboratory to the head of the physics department.
"The nuclear fusion laboratory, with a budget of 500 million," Director Huang of the Department of Physics almost didn't throw away the information in his hand when he saw it.
"Uh, Professor Zhao, are you sure you're not joking with me!" Director Huang asked cautiously.
No wonder he asked, although he was the head of the physics department, he was mainly in management, and he had long since let go of the professional aspect. When he saw that the laboratory cost five billion, he was a little dizzy. Every year, he makes a lot of noise at the school over millions of scientific research grants. It's going to be five billion, and he can think of the expressions of those people in the school.
"Hehe, director, let's use these five billion first, it's not enough to apply!" Zhao Li smiled.
"Oh my God," Director Huang was directly defeated by Zhao Li, and patted his forehead with a painful face.
"My Professor Zhao, this is not 500,000, 5 million, 500 million, every year our school divides only how much scientific research funds, a total of only tens of millions."
No, of course, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, but these tens of millions are still divided among more than a dozen departments in the school. Professors and teachers in school who don't want to apply for a little research funding.
"Director Huang, I know what you said, do you think the five billion I applied for can still go through the ordinary application channel of the school, what I want to study is nuclear fusion, five billion is just the previous investment, you just have to report it, the state will definitely approve it!" Zhao Li said in a deep voice.
"You mean that you need to find special approval from the state for this project!" Director Huang also came back to his senses.
It really makes sense to think about it this way, what kind of person is Zhao Li, a world-famous physics scientist, who has also come up with the theory of positive and negative magnetic fields before, if he applies for it, maybe the country may really approve it.
"Definitely. The scientific research fund that the state pulls out every year is so little, I can't interfere anymore, I can only approve this road. Zhao Li nodded.
"Smack!" Director Huang slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go to the principal now, only the principal can operate this matter!" ”
Director Huang was also a little excited, if the state really approved this fund for Zhao Li. The Department of Physics is well-known throughout the country. The physics department will surpass all schools in the country in terms of software and hardware. Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, holding Zhao Li's application, and the two hurriedly walked towards the principal's office.
"Yo, rare guest, Director Huang and Professor Zhao, why do you two have time to come to me together," the old principal invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa.
"Principal, we really have something to look for you, it's a big deal, then this is our department's application!"
I don't understand it at once. It is better to ask the principal to read the application first before communication. After Director Huang finished speaking, he slowly drank the tea poured by the assistant principal and waited leisurely.
Zhao Li was the same, drinking tea without a cup. Well, the principal's tea is really good.
Half an hour later.
"Nuclear fusion laboratory, five billion!" The old headmaster also looked at the two of them in surprise.
Even the assistant principal, who was pouring tea on the side, looked at Zhao Li and Director Huang in surprise.
"Are you serious?" The principal stared at Zhao Li tightly and asked. The old principal's pattern is bigger than Director Huang, he doesn't say that it is more than five billion, and he does ask if the two of them are serious.
"Old Headmaster, it's definitely serious. This time, when I was lecturing in Massachusetts, I realized that their nuclear fusion research has far surpassed ours, if we don't work hard. Maybe the other side's spaceship will fly before us! Zhao Li said in a deep voice.
Listening to Zhao Li's words, the old principal couldn't help but stand up and turn around in the office, muttering from time to time.
"Fifty billion, nuclear fusion,"
After a while, the old headmaster's face became firm. Returning to his seat, he asked seriously.
"Zhao Li, is this five billion enough?"
He knew that since he had to apply, and there was also the name of Zhao Li, a great physics scientist. Then it must be successfully completed, and it must be aimed at the results. You can't do it halfway. Because the funds are just too big.
"Five billion is only the initial fund, and it will definitely be needed in the future, I estimate that it will be at least 10 billion or so. This also requires strong support from the state, after all, some instruments and equipment must not be bought through ordinary channels! Zhao Li thought for a moment before saying.
"Okay, 10 billion yes, I'll let go of my old face, I will work hard to apply for you, I feel that there is still a lot of hope, with your previous anti-gravity achievements to support, the country will definitely consider you more." The old headmaster clapped his hands.
Thinking of this, the old principal was also a little excited, Zhao Li, a big science, has been busy teaching since he came to the school, or he is staying in the library, but the biggest role of the big science family is scientific research. Seeing that Zhao Li has never had the idea of doing anything. He could only do it in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Li was a big deal as soon as he made a move, and he directly wanted to go to nuclear fusion, and he asked for tens of billions of funds at once. It's exciting to think about it, if your school makes another big achievement, needless to say, the reputation of your school can be directly compared with Mizuki Jingcheng.
"Hehe, then thank you principal," Director Huang said excitedly.
"Haha, you Xiao Huang is so shrewd when he hears about money, but Zhao Li, I still want to talk about you, our school has been waiting for you to apply for a scientific research grant, for this I also said hello to Director Huang, so that he must try his best to meet your requirements, I didn't expect you to apply for so long without once, it turns out that you don't like those small projects! Suddenly give me a big project, you're going to scare my old man to death! The old headmaster also joked.
"Hehe, how can there be, the principal is not that I don't like those small projects, but I have been accumulating in the past two years, although I published the theory of positive and negative magnetic fields before, but after all, it was made in my spare time, and I have not studied physics for a long time, fortunately, the school gave me this environment so that I had time to read all the physics books in the library. That's why I have the confidence to apply for this program! Zhao Li didn't expect that the school had been thinking about itself. I was also a little touched.
"What, you've read all the physics books in the library in two years!" The old headmaster was also shocked.
Even sitting on the sidelines, Director Huang and the assistant principal also looked at Zhao Li in a daze.
Is this still a human being, and in two years, he can learn the knowledge that others can't learn in a lifetime. They know the number of books in the library, and physics is still a big department, and there are even more books on physics. There are thousands of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign books.
"Wow, no wonder you've achieved so much!" The old principal sighed.
After learning of Zhao Li's achievements in the past two years, the old principal didn't wait at the school, and directly took Zhao Li's application and ran to the capital.
The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, these related departments ran one by one.
The two departments made a fuss, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were 10 billion, which scared the people in these two departments.
"Old principal, you don't comply with the regulations, how can you apply for 10 billion at once, all the universities in our country are only 50 billion a year, how can your school take one-fifth of it at once, so do other schools still want to live!" Director Liu of the Ministry of Science and Technology said loudly.
He also has a bit of a headache with this old man now, he is older than him, and he is about to retire, and he dares to slap the table with their leaders and scold his mother, what kind of behavior is this, more arrogant than people in the seventies and eighties. At that time, people might have done things like this, but now it's the 21st century, how can there still be such people.
"What is not in accordance with the regulations, what is wrong with 100 billion, this is nuclear fusion, 10 billion can study nuclear fusion, then the country has made a lot of money, let me tell you Director Liu, I won't leave if the funds can't be approved." The old headmaster said excitedly. From time to time, the table was slapped.
Director Liu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "How can you be sure that you will be able to study it, does your school have this strength?" ”
This is what he said, and if a university like Mizuki Jingcheng came to apply, they might discuss it seriously. Nanzhou University is also very ordinary among hundreds of universities in the country.
"Yes, our school doesn't have this strength, so who researched the anti-gravity system in our country now, we don't need any funds from the state for that scientific research achievement, the applicant for nuclear fusion this time is also Zhao Li, a big scientist, if Zhao Li is not successful, I dare to say that no university in China has this ability." The old headmaster scoffed.
"Uh," Director Liu really made the old principal's words speechless to say.
Zhao Li knew that this was the country's biggest dark horse scientist, or from the people. Later, he entered the Southern Zhou. And Nanzhou University also became famous by this, otherwise Director Liu really didn't know the name Nanzhou.
"Even if Zhao Li wants to apply, he has to follow the rules, and our ministry doesn't have the power to approve 10 billion funds at once." Director Liu said in a deep voice.
"I know, so I also ask you to study more, report this project, our country has anti-gravity, if you add this nuclear fusion, then our spacecraft can fly out of the solar system, I, an old man, still want to go around space in my lifetime, Director Liu, don't you want to, if you rely on those scrap materials in China, when do you think our spacecraft will be able to go to the sky!" The old headmaster laughed.
was said by the old principal, Director Liu was really moved. Spaceships, space flights, this is the dream of mankind for a long time.
"Then, Principal Fan, you are in the capital and waiting, I will try to bring it up in the ministry for everyone to discuss, and if it is okay, I will report it!"
"Haha, is that what you want, if our school succeeds in research in the future, we will definitely invite you to watch the ceremony!" The old headmaster laughed, and the hard work of these days had finally made some progress.
"Hehe, hopefully!" Director Liu also laughed awkwardly. (To be continued......)
