Chapter 472: Knowledge is the Greatest Wealth
Cars came and went on the construction site, smoke and dust billowed out, and the sound of excavators and cement trucks roared and clanged. The engineer wearing the white helmet held the design drawing in his hand and personally went down to the first site to command, and the construction workers wearing the yellow helmet ran fast on the construction site.
Everyone is like a wind-up machine, running alongside the engineering equipment. The progress of the project is also advancing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and it is a hot scene as far as the eye can see.
The environment at the scene is very poor, even if you just stand on the side and watch, it will not be long before a layer of plaster will be covered on your shoes.
However, the leaders of the municipal party committee who stood not far away to inspect did not have any dislike on their faces, but smiled brightly.
The sudden settlement of a billion-dollar national project in Jinling is like a surprise falling from the sky for the city of Jinling.
In particular, the systematic scientific research project of controlled nuclear fusion is of great help to the development of high-tech industries and the talent introduction policy of Jinling City.
Or to put it bluntly, these are all visible political achievements.
Of course, although this controlled nuclear fusion is not a matter of careful secrecy, there are many research institutions at home and abroad, and they have been engaged in it for nearly half a century.
However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary worries and misunderstandings, this kind of thing can still be low-key, and before the phased results worth showing off come out, try to avoid large-scale publicity.
In terms of engineering, there is head Liao staring at it, and the qualifications of the construction unit are also reassuring.
At the current speed of the project, it can be completed and accepted in half a year at most, and if it is fast, it will not even be used for half a year, and three or four months will be enough.
After getting the assurance of the head of Liao, Lu Zhou did not worry too much about the project, and after giving Sun Gong a few requirements, he concentrated on the preparation of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
On the third day before the New Year's Day, the second week after the official start of the construction of the "STAR" Stellar Simulator Research Institute, the building of the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials was finally completed.
The experimental building of the chemical institute, which was borrowed by Lu Zhou for almost two years, has finally returned to its original owner.
However, for the professors of the Kim Dae Chemical Academy, they are not so eagerly looking forward to its return.
Because the relocation of the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials also means that the high-precision instruments and equipment worth more than 100 million US dollars will also be moved away with Yang Xu and them.
Although the new location of the Institute of Computational Materials is not very far from here, it is outside the campus after all.
If you want to rub the instrument in the future, it will not be so convenient.
Looking at the truck in the distance, Dean Li of the Institute of Chemical Chemistry, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, still muttered a little longingly: "What are you doing in such a hurry, and no one is urging you." โ
Lu Zhou: "After all, this laboratory building is the property of the school, and it is not good for me to occupy it in my private name. โ
Dean Li shook his head and said, "Can you be considered an outsider?" โ
Lu Zhou smiled: "Jinda is my alma mater, and I have never regarded myself as an outsider, but it is better to separate public and private." โ
If this relationship is not separated, sooner or later there will be problems in the future.
When he was abroad, he was very careful in every step, and now that he is back in China, he should be more careful in some aspects.
Seeing that Lu Zhou said this, Dean Li didn't hold on anymore, but just sighed.
"That said, you are now a Nobel Prize winner, a benchmark in the Chinese scientific community, and the spotlight is on you. There are many people who are staring at your results, and there are many people waiting for you to make mistakes, so it's right to be careful. โ
Lu Zhou nodded: "I will." โ
โฆโฆ
The building of the institute has been put in place, and the relocation of the instruments has basically been completed, but for the blueprint of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study in Lu Zhou's heart, everything has just begun.
At present, in the entire research institute, except for one computational materials research institute, other research units cannot see the shadow.
If he wants to turn this blueprint into reality, he needs to work hard.
Because it is a private research unit, after putting forward policy demands, Lu Zhou is no longer embarrassed to ask the state for money, although the leader promised him an interest-free loan of 1 billion RMB, but he does not plan to borrow this money from the bank.
One is that you won't need that much money for the time being.
Second, there are still a lot of funds in the account of the domestic branch of Star Technology for him to use.
If he hadn't looked at the numbers in his account, he would have almost forgotten that he was already a billionaire. After realizing that he still had so much money at his disposal, he transferred 100 million yuan to the account of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study without saying a word.
Spending money on research, Lu Zhou has never been distressed.
After all, the original intention of establishing Star Technology was to give blood transfusions to their own laboratories.
With his most powerful helper, Yang Xu, Lu Zhou walked around the brand-new research institute building, and said in a casual tone while familiarizing himself with the environment here.
"How does it feel to move into a new home?"
Yang Xu said with a smile: "The laboratory is much more spacious, but there are too few people, and it seems a little deserted." โ
Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled.
"It's all temporary, and soon we'll recruit a new group of researchers to make this place fuller."
With the aura of the Nobel Prize, coupled with the high-precision equipment of the entire laboratory building, and even the high salary, he can attract a large number of hard-working scientific research dogs to work for him.
Of course, in the long run, he will not treat his scientific researchers badly.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the dean's office of the research institute, overlooking the entire research institute, Lu Zhou said ambitiously.
"The whole institute has only completed the first phase of the project, and there are still three phases of the project to go, not only in materials science, but also in mathematics and physics, whether it is hardware or software, we must strive to achieve world-class standards!"
Yang Xu: "Better than CERN?" โ
Lu Zhou: "It's sooner or later. โ
Anyway, you don't need to make a draft to brag, what if it comes to fruition?
Yang Xu quipped: "Are you really going to get a hadron collider?" โ
Lu Zhou smiled: "I have this idea, but this thing can't be built in the city, and we don't have that energy at this stage." โ
The experiment of theoretical physics is another black hole of funding, even if he throws his entire net worth into it, I am afraid that he will not be able to burn any fame.
However, when the project of controllable nuclear fusion is completed and accepted, I am afraid that there will be no need to worry about this funding.
When the time comes, whether it is to draw a circle on the ground to build a hadron collider, or to put a satellite in the sky to collect dark matter, as long as he has this idea, someone will definitely come to give him this green light.
Yang Xu didn't think about something so far away, his mind was still stuck on the hadron collider, he touched his chin, and said in a little surprise.
"I'm afraid that thing costs a lot of money, it has to be tens of billions, the question is where does the money come from?"
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and did not answer the question directly.
"Knowledge is the greatest asset, and our research itself is creating wealth."
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he paused for a moment and continued.
"Gather all the researchers of the institute, let's have a meeting and talk about what we are going to do next!"

(To be reasonable, you all think I can coo, but in fact I do, so in fact, it is equivalent to no coo...... Okay, big guys, I'm sorry, the osmanthus has bloomed recently, and I happen to have a little pollen allergy, and I've been sneezing non-stop for the past few days, and I'm dizzy and can't really break out, but I will definitely remember that I still owe the outbreak of the two alliances, and I will make up for it when the state is better! _:(ยดเฝ`ใโ ):_๏ผ
