The latest news came from China, a soldier surnamed Jiang saved Mr. Zhongshan.

The Northern Expedition failed, but the leader was there, and there was hope. Mr. Zhou took a long breath and suddenly relaxed.

"Kangping, I heard that you want to open a Zeus laboratory?" Mr. Zhou finally began to pay attention to the development of the company.

"That's exactly what I mean."

Li Kangping explained that Zeus Laboratory is not a purely experimental institution, but a technology company integrating theoretical research, academic applied research, industrial application research, product research and development, trial production and other functions.

Our Zeus laboratory is probably similar to the engineering and technology department of XD, but it will focus more on basic theoretical research than that department.

The above is Kangping's plan for Zeus's laboratory.

Mr. Zhou frowned and said: "According to Kang Pingzhi's description, the construction of the Zeus Laboratory may cost millions of dollars. I have no money left to inject capital, I only hope that the mahjong factory will prosper in business, and then use the profits of the mahjong factory to build Zeus Laboratory. ”

Mr. Zhou gave his life savings of $20,000 to Li Kangping and helped Li Kangping raise $80,000 to start the project of Zeus Mahjong Factory in Manhattan.

Li Kangping was grateful that of course he would not ask Mr. Zhou to inject new funds.

"In the early days of the construction of Zeus's laboratory, there was no need for a million dollars, and those seven or eight thousand dollars were enough." Li Kangping said.

Mr. Zhou pulled out a small movable table, which was filled with various wines, and he selected gin to drink with Kangping.

"When I was eighteen years old, my father died, and my brothers divided the family property, and I received a very large share." Mr. Zhou suddenly recalled the past, he said: "Later, I went to Shanghai, used my savings to donate to the revolutionary cause, and got to know several patriotic colleagues. On that day, we waited for a piece of paper to write the words 'Yellow Emperor Divine Throne' and other words, offered it to the top, killed chickens, dripped blood in wine, we knelt and swore an oath, and drank chicken blood wine. ”

Mr. Zhou used concise language to depict scenes with a strong sense of imagery. Li Kangping listened with great interest.

Mr. Zhou said: "After drinking chicken blood wine, we will make explosives." Explosives are easy to make, and Mei Jun visited Shanghai hardware stores all over the world, but he was not able to

Substitute for the handy cartridge casing. ”

"Cheng Jun came from Tokyo, carried a number of bullet casings, and after charging them, Zhang Jun secretly sent them to Nanjing, and tried to throw them in a remote place, but they didn't blow them up."

"We have been exposed, and the court has ordered us to be killed. We fled to Hunan and continued to make explosives. ”

"I worked hard to make new explosives, put them in paper cigarette cans, and use medicine threads to ignite the fire. Zhang Jun brought this explosive and wanted to blow up the governor of Hunan, but he was angry, but he was blown up before he could throw it, and Zhang Jun was martyred. ”

"I hate the lack of precision in bomb making, which has involved Zhang Junkong's self-sacrifice, so I decided to go to the United States for training, who knew that it would be more than ten years." Speaking of this, Mr. Zhou drank all the wine in his glass.

Mr. Zhou spoke softly and eloquently, but Li Kangping listened with fear and sweat.

Li Kangyuan thought that Mr. Zhou studied education in the United States, but he never thought that Mr. Zhou first studied flammable and explosive, and later switched to education.

At this time, Li Kangping was fully aware of Mr. Zhou's background and experience.

It is difficult for an individual in this era to become a pure individual, and a specific person you know may be the spokesperson of a certain force.

Li Kangping has left his post, and his recent focus has been on the construction of Zeus Laboratory.

Under Benjamin's operation, the Manhattan Zeus Company rented an 80,000-square-foot factory in Queens and listed it as "Zeus Laboratory".

The interior of the factory is empty, and Li Kangping will build the Zeus laboratory according to his vision.

Before purchasing equipment and tools, Li Kangping needed to recruit science and engineering professionals.

The head of the general management department of Manhattan Zeus has been put in place, and according to the division of business, the general management department is responsible for recruiting people.

But the initial employees of Zeus Laboratory, Li Kangping wanted to find out in person.

In the field of radio engineering, Li Kangping has a very professional candidate in mind--- Edwin Armstrong, an assistant professor at Columbia University.

Li Kangping came to Columbia University and went to Professor Puping's laboratory.

The teaching assistant does not have a special office, and the teaching assistant's office is his boss's laboratory.

The Popping Laboratory is located on the first floor of the Hertley Building, and Li Kangping often passes by, but never enters.

The door to Poppin's lab opened, and one person came out, and it happened to be Edwin Armstrong.

"Hey, Edwin, how are you doing?" Li Kangping greeted politely.

Armstrong politely replied, "It's not bad, you." ”

"Edwin, are you off work?"

"Yes, it's time to get off work."

"Edwin, can we have a meal together? I know there's an Italian restaurant near Central Park, and I promise you'll love lamb chops there. ”

"That Italian restaurant is not bad, let's go, go there."

The two walked together, and Armstrong said as he walked, "I've seen your Waves of Matter, and to be honest, I don't know what you're trying to do in this paper." However, Professor Pupin is very fond of your paper, and he says that you are a subversive and you want to subvert physics. Then I re-read "Matter Waves" several times, and the core idea you want to make is nothing more than the wave-particle duality of matter particles, and a bunch of purely imaginary paper formulas. Well, even if your matter wave hypothesis is true, what can it be? Is physics really being turned upside down by you? I don't think so. ”

"So, Edwin, would you be interested in hearing me explain Matter Waves in detail?"

"No interest."

"Okay, then let's talk about something you're interested in." Li Kangping smiled, and he asked, "By the way, Edwin, are you about to get a chair?" ”

Armstrong looked depressed: "Don't talk to me about this, I don't want to talk about this." ”

The two walked through the bushes of Central Park and walked out of the park from the other side into the Italian restaurant.

After ordering, Li Kangping said straight to the point: "Edwin, I want to cooperate with you." ”

Armstrong said, "Please be specific. ”

"I opened a lab, 80,000 square feet, and I needed a very professional partner, and I wanted you to be my partner." Li Kangping said sincerely.

"Really? Such a large laboratory? Armstrong was a little surprised, and he asked, "Are you rich?" What exactly do you do? ”

"I started a company, a company that makes mahjong."

Armstrong's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Mahjong? You're kidding, right? Why did you get into the mahjong business? I really can't figure out why you're doing that. ”

"Edwin, you'd just treat me as the kind of person with a bit of spare money. I hope to work with you on radio. ”
