No amount of impassioned words is false.

Although everyone is a scientific researcher, and scientific research should be emotional, but people should have a good meal.

It is true that scientific research talks about feelings, but feelings can't be eaten, and the meat must be eaten by the management of Star Science and Technology and Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, but you can't even give people a sip of soup.

Lu Zhou can't do this kind of thing, and it is impossible to do it.

At the end of the speech, looking at the excited scientific research dogs, Lu Zhou immediately gave everyone a week's long vacation, and said that he would let the finance side give everyone in the project team a bonus of at least 100,000 yuan, and take out a total of 20 million bonuses to reward outstanding contributors to the research.

If the first half of the sentence just blew people's hearts fluttering......

Then in the second half of the merit award, the entire laboratory was like a cloud bomb dropped, and every inch of the air was ignited by boiling enthusiasm......

……

It had been five minutes since he came out of the laboratory, and Yang Xu still felt that his eardrum was shaking a little painfully.

After hearing about the 20 million prize, the researchers were so excited that their throats shook and even the glass trembled. Fortunately, the precision instrument is placed in another laboratory, otherwise I am afraid that this voice will have to roar millions away.

Poking his index finger in his ear, he who was walking in the corridor with Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Will 20 million be too much?"

If it weren't for key national projects or large investments from enterprises, the funding that ordinary engineering academicians can apply for is about this number, which is still higher.

Directly send a bonus of 20 million, even if ten people divide it equally, one person can get 2 million.

What's more, there are only five or six real technical backbones.

Even after doing a PhD at MIT, Yang Xu had never seen such a boss......

Lu Zhou: "Compared to the value they create, 20 million is just a fraction. ”

Yang Xu: "Theoretically, but I'm a little worried, and the researchers in other project teams are unbalanced when they see it. And the bonus is too high at one time, and if you want to give people chicken blood in the future, the cost will have to rise. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled and said indifferently.

"If you are unbalanced, then try to make some achievements, Jinling Institute for Advanced Study provides them with a relaxed scientific research environment, not for them to retire, but for them to spend more time on research."

"As for the bonus being too high at one time...... Is this also a problem? If they do something even more awesome in the future, why should I buy each of them a suite in the city center? ”

"I just want the entire academic community to know that there is nothing to do with me, to endure hardships and stand hard work. As long as I can make enough valuable results, then I can't make him suffer. ”

Lu Zhou has always thought that if even the heroes who created knowledge and opened up territory for the future of civilization are not worthy of being rich, then who else is worthy of being rich? Who else deserves to be in charge of social resources?

It's as if he has never shied away from the wealth he has, and the fact that he lives in a mansion and drives a luxury car.

Even when someone took a picture of his house and posted it on the Internet, or spread some baseless gossip about the origin of his assets, he never paid attention to it, or even took it seriously.

Why did everyone want to be a scientist when they were young, and when they grew up, they all dreamed of being a star, singing and dancing?

Sometimes, the comrades at the propaganda mouth really need to reflect on it.

Although he was indeed slightly shocked by Lu Zhou's thoughts in his heart, as the director of the Institute of Computational Materials and a member of the board of directors of the Institute for Advanced Study, Yang Xu still had to consider this issue from the perspective of the overall interests of the Institute for Advanced Study.

"What about the theoretical direction of research?"

"Theoretical research is not so good at making visible results, and it is not necessarily economically beneficial. But if no one had done it, our Computational Materials Institute would not have been where it is today. ”

"Do you know why MIT's Computational Materials Institute has been unable to do it? It's not because there's not enough money to dig people, but because their material expertise is too strong! PHD, who is so strong that he learns computing materials, either warms up with the boss in Silicon Valley, or changes his career to become a coder, or engages in CAD! ”

After listening to Yang Xu's heartfelt words, Lu Zhou was silent for a while.

"That's a problem."

However, he only thought about it for a few seconds.

"Theoretical research is also worth encouraging."

"As long as the results are significant enough, they will be rewarded together."

Yang Xu: "......"

He had nothing else to say at this moment, except for a sentence that the trench was inhuman......

……

In fact, Lu Zhou has always had this plan, and set up a special prize for theoretical science at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, which is specially used to reward breakthrough research in the fields of physics, mathematics, theoretical chemistry, and biology.

Otherwise, it would be quite a headache how to spend so much of his money.

Why don't you learn the Nobel Prize later?

However, this kind of thing is still too far away for the time being.

Anyway, wait until he has half a foot in the coffin before thinking about it.

Back in his office, Lu Zhou sat down at his desk, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a few pieces of letter paper from the drawer.

The breakthrough of carbon-based transistor technology is very important, and it is better to talk to the relevant departments first.

Of course, what really prompted Lu Zhou to write this letter was not only because of the breakthrough in carbon-based chip research.

It is because the significance and value of carbon-based transistor technology is far from simply expanding the theoretical lower limit width of the chip manufacturing process by an order of magnitude, but also introducing various characteristics such as topological insulators and specific temperatures of graphene materials into the semiconductor industry.

According to theoretical predictions, zero-energy Majorana fermions will be formed in the eddy core region at the interface between three-dimensional topological insulators and superconductors, which may enable topological quantum computing.

What does this mean?

This means that we will not only open up a new battlefield in the chip industry, but also create the possibility of building topological qubits using Majorana fermions or Majorana zero-mode!

In layman's terms, it opens the door to a new world for the research of quantum computers!

As a scholar who has won the Nobel Prize for his research in the field of materials, Lu Zhou saw through the higher value hidden behind carbon-based transistors at a glance.

If the continued reduction of chip manufacturing technology is just icing on the cake to help the modern electronics industry, then the realization of topological quantum computing will have a subversive impact on the entire modern electronics industry and even the entire modern civilization!

After writing more than 2,000 words in a free way, Lu Zhou folded the letter that was destined to change the world, stuffed it into the envelope, and put it in the corner of the desk, planning to hand it over to Wang Peng when he went downstairs in a while, and asked him to ask someone to send it to Shangjing.

If controlled nuclear fusion is the first key to the future, quantum computers are the second.

I am lucky and honored.

This key is also in his hands.
