Adrian and Haber in the study were discussing with great interest various issues, such as the location and scale and the details of the research direction, Adrian only gave a delineation on the first two issues, and only followed Fritz Haber's intentions in the details, and occasionally made a few suggestions, but they were basically rejected by Haber. In fact, Adrian didn't want to interfere, but the energy research in this era was still in its infancy, and many considerations were not comprehensive and a bit detoured, but whenever Fritz Haber asked the reason, Adrian couldn't give a positive answer, so that Fritz Haber criticized it, and Adrian simply didn't intervene, so as not to be looked down upon.

Adrian arranged an empty room in the castle for Fritz Haber, and appointed someone to take care of his food and daily life, and so on for more than half a month, and it was only when Christmas approached that the two of them decided on the preliminary plan. The originally neat study was also messed up by the two, and the manuscript paper scattered on the ground made people have nowhere to put their feet. Sylna, whose stomach was becoming more pronounced, went to sleep in the guest room on the day Fritz Haber came, and Sylna's parents and grandfather, although they did not say anything, complained in their hearts that Adrian did not take care of Sylva.

Now the two of them have put all their energy into the research plan, and Adrian has not even left the door of the room for more than ten days. In the first few days, the two would go out of the room to eat, and Haber would also go back to his room to rest, but when the plan began to be perfected step by step, and the hard work of many days gradually became clear, the two of them simply did not want to delay a minute or a second, and when they were tired, they lay on the chair or lie directly on the desk. When eating, Sylna was delivered to the door of the room, and after a few deliveries, it was only transferred to the maid in the sound of her mother's scolding, but Sylna was worried that the maid was not careful enough, so she would come up to supervise it every time. When Sylna's mother saw Sylna's hard work, she blamed Adrian more and more, and even Augustus III couldn't help but say a few words about Adrian. Adrian, who had been working normally, had not been to the administrative office since he and Fritz Haber planned this plan, and he, the old man, had to deal with the trivial matters of the horse master himself.

On December 23, after Fritz Haber and Eric Adrian hastily finalized some final details, the former hurried home, and Fritz Haber, who had not returned home for more than half a month, was reprimanded by his wife, which really made the great scientist have a hard time. Adrian's side is also not optimistic, the originally harmonious family, because of Adrian's negligence of Sylna, he has become the isolated side. Augustus II was a pragmatist, and instead of criticizing Adrian's performance, he helped to say a lot of good things, and Sylna was also on the side to persuade him, so that Sylna's parents did not embarrass Adrian on the night of Christmas Eve.

Embarrassed to finish the sumptuous dinner, Adri felt guilty and helped Syla slowly back to the room, although there were some showmanship, but in the eyes of Sylna's parents, the tension between them was somewhat eased.

Adrian, who returned to the room, diligently served tea and poured water, which made Sylna laugh again and again, but did not stop him from continuing to work, but half-lying on the bed and enjoying it.

Adrian, who had done enough for two days in a row, finally got forgiven by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and no longer looked at him coldly, which made Adrian feel a little more relaxed.

Christmas passed peacefully in laughter, and Adrian received many of his old subordinates who had returned from changing guards, and even Hindenburg sent a box of cigars that he liked to smoke.

Fritz Haber's Christmas was not good at all, his wife's complaints did not diminish at all, Haber had just finished Christmas and hurriedly ran to Adrian again, and he wanted to quickly implement the affairs of the research center.

After all, Fritz Haber is over fifty years old, well-informed, and can also read his face, since the moment he stepped out of the car, the unkindness revealed in the eyes of the people around him can be seen by everyone, when Adrian went out to welcome him in, there was a mother and daughter sitting in the living room Sylna and daughter chatting, Sylna smiled slightly and said hello, but her mother did not look at Fritz Haber. Puzzled, he followed Adrian to the study, he wanted to ask Adrian what was going on, but he forgot all about it when he saw the plans that had been put together.

Fritz Haber looked at Adrian, who was sitting leisurely, and asked, "When will the implementation plan begin?" ”

Adrian waved his hand to sit down, and only after Fritz Haber sat down did he speak: "I have sent someone to implement it, using the industrial park of the Eric Group in Dresden, to expand a space to the south on its basis, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people working at the same time." ”

Adrian spread the map on his desk as he spoke, and with his finger he had just pointed to the place he had just mentioned, he brought a detailed map of the outskirts of Dresden, and drew a square area on this map with a pencil, which was equivalent to more than doubling the size of the previous factory.

Fritz Haber asked again: "Do we live here too?" ”

Adrian nodded and said, "Well, all the people involved in this study need to bring their families, it's all voluntary, their salaries and rations are enough to support the family, and I'll use the hierarchy that has been used in the Eric group for many years, and it's also written in the plan." ”

Adrian handed Fritz Haber a list with the words Eric Group on it, a form of promotion requirements and corresponding benefits that Adrian had rough-altered from the original staff hierarchy.

Adrian's vision was to minimize the possibility of leaking technology. Of course, this approach will also make many people uncomfortable, but he believes that with his financial resources and the equipment and environment provided, he will attract a large number of people.

After the introduction, Adrian said: "The place is big enough, there will be no shortage of funds, and the most important thing now is that there is a shortage of people, you can mobilize your friends to encourage the students to participate, as long as they can pass the test, the welfare package is not worse than other places, it will be better." ”

Fritz Haber frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the current students all want to join the army, and there are not many of them anymore." He thought about it for a moment and continued: "I'll try, this damn war. He paused and asked, "Have you thought of a name?" ”

Adrian said confidently: "Well, if you think about it, let's call it the Energy Research Center." He turned to look at the sky outside the window and continued: "If all goes well in the research, one day in the future, we will create an energy age!" ”
