Obviously, Gu Cheng learned from the phone call just now that this was a project application of more than 1 billion.

After returning to the house, he quickly changed into a set of travel clothes, Gu Cheng went to the garage and left the villa with a car, and went straight to the newly built hive headquarters.

In the first half of the year, the data computing center of the hive headquarters has been put into use, and after entering October, the office center has also been completed, and now the company is carrying out the overall relocation, and it is expected to complete all the relocation early next year.

It has to be said that as long as the money is in place, the quality progress can be successfully completed in accordance with Party A's requirements.

……

Hive Headquarters.

At present, more than 3,000 employees have moved into the hive headquarters, and the new headquarters is expected to accommodate 15,000 people at the same time at the beginning of the design, Tianqing Technology Group currently has 40,000 or 50,000 employees, and the current staff working in the headquarters is 7,220 people, only about half.

At this moment, in a reception room of the new headquarters, two old physicists, Song Bojun and Wu Yueliang, are sitting precariously, while the young Pan Yang is standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.

"Wow, it's a giant-level office headquarters, simple but not simple."

Along the way, Xiao Pan was also shocked, the overall style of the hive headquarters gives people a simple and rigorous style, has done enough homework on air circulation, every design contains rich geometry, and the indoor air circulation in many halls is extremely comfortable, and will not give people a dull feeling.

But what impressed Xiao Pan the most was the modern technology contained in this incomplete building complex, and the entire hive headquarters was connected to Xiaoqing's intelligent system, which hosted and monitored the operation of the entire complex.

Of course, Xiaoqing is still in charge of the main counter-espionage mission, and as long as she enters this headquarters complex, no one can escape her eyes.

Tianqing Technology's anti-commercial espionage has a long way to go, and some people even want to collect the document garbage generated by the company during the office by applying for positions such as cleaners, trying to obtain some relevant information about Tianqing Technology.

Xiao Pan has more and more thoughts of graduating and working under Tianqing Technology Group in the future, he has already learned some information, Tianqing Technology also has a lot of scientists, and there are a lot of mathematicians.

Of course, the majority are researchers in the field of applied technology.

It's a tech company, after all.

After waiting for about ten minutes, everyone heard the sound of the door of the reception room, and the two old and one young couldn't help but follow the voice.

Xiao Pan's eyes lit up when he saw a young man walking in, and he changed the rhythm of his brother in seconds.

The person who came was Gu Cheng, and when he saw the two old men get up, Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Please sit down, you don't need to be polite, regardless of your identity, both of you are my elders." ”

Xiao Pan was a little excited, but he knew that he was not good enough to interject, and he was a little timid, as long as he stayed aside honestly.

The two old physicists came into contact with Gu Cheng for the first time, and they were still amazed by his youth, basically about the same age as Pan Yang, anyway, they were the same generation.

However, Gu Cheng gave the two old academicians a different feeling, they had a lot of aura, and their bearing was also extremely extraordinary.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Gu has really changed my inherent view of capitalists, and he can fund basic scientific research with 200 billion yuan every year without hesitation, not to mention earth-shattering, it is also unprecedented." Wu Yueliang said, Lao Song was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Lao Wu has never liked to deal with people very much, why is this sycophant said so quietly, as an old friend for many years, it is the first time to see him like this.

Song Bojun was stunned in his heart.

Afterwards, the two old professors introduced themselves.

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Old Academician Wu, I really have to correct what you just said, I dare to say that except for me, no rich man on this planet will do this to me, I support your previous fixed opinion, I am just an exception, but you can no longer have a fixed opinion on me." ”

The two old academicians were stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing, and Wu Yueliang nodded again and again.

This is why Gu Cheng can say this so confidently, and he has confidence.

Xiao Pan sighed secretly: It is worthy of being my idol, and the big guy is the big guy.

After greeting for a minute or two, Gu Cheng immediately said: "I have heard that the two of you came here in person this time because of a space gravitational wave detection project, and I heard that the project requires a lot of funds, can you tell me in detail?" ”

The two old physicists were in high spirits when they heard this, and from the brief casual chat just now, they also had a preliminary impression of Gu Cheng.

I found that he was different from what I expected, I thought he was an entrepreneur and a businessman, even if he supported basic science, but he didn't know too much, but he didn't expect to find out that he was a master after chatting.

Talking about some related terms such as particle physics and even quantum mechanics, not only did he not have any communication barriers with Gu Cheng, but he also had unique insights.

After a short exchange, the two physicists had a great change in their opinion of Gu Cheng, and Wu Yueliang finally understood why he was so supportive of academic research, it turned out that he was academically attained.

No wonder there is such a strong support for basic scientific research.

As Gu Cheng took the initiative to speak, the two old physicists, you look at me, I look at you, after a while, Song Bojun decided to speak, what he wanted to say had already been organized many times in his heart, after all, the father of the gold master...

"Finding gravitational waves is a powerful means to explore the mysteries of the universe, and the space gravitational wave detection plan is a plan that Lao Wu and I have prepared for two years, but due to financial embarrassment, the project has been stuck in the theoretical stage and cannot be transferred to the engineering stage."

"The project plan is to launch the exploration star group composed of three satellites into space around 2033, the star group runs in heliocentric orbit, and the center of mass falls on the earth's orbit, which is simply to follow the earth around the sun together, and the three stars form a regular triangle with a side length of 3 million kilometers, and the heliocentric orbit can avoid the gravitational interference of the earth-moon system, and the orbit always maintains a state of 60 degrees of incidence to the sun, so that the spacecraft has a stable temperature environment......"

"Different from ground detectors such as LIGO in the United States, space detectors can eliminate the interference of ground noise, ground detection is more like looking for signals in noise, and space detection is more like finding signals in the signal pile, and the number of gravitational waves in the detection range of space gravitational waves is very large, and the signal strength of the wave source is relatively large......

"Every galaxy will have supermassive black holes, and a full-time exploration of the formation and growth of black holes can further understand the evolution of galaxies. Due to the cosmological redshift effect, the gravitational waves generated by 1,000 sun-mass black holes in the early ionization of the universe will also enter the measurement frequency band of the detector after their frequency redshift, and these black holes are likely to be remnants of the death of the first generation of stars......"

Song Bojun gushed endlessly, Gu Cheng listened while signaling the staff in the reception room to pour water, Song Lao drank a sip of water and continued: "...... In order to be able to capture and distinguish the subtle gravitational wave signal, the design of the system is precise and complex, the measurement accuracy of the system is required to reach the picometer level in the order of millions of kilometers, there are sixty or seventy subsystems in the system, and there are six or seven hundred couplings between the subsystems, if the system wants to work normally in space, the problems of hardware, design, management and other aspects must be solved......"

Gu Cheng feels that these people who are engaged in scientific research are not nerds, and their eloquence is not lost to entrepreneurs and investors in telling stories, and the expression not only reflects the implicit nature of those who do learning, but also allows those who listen to understand the problem.

Anyway, after Gu Cheng listened to it, he summed it up as ...... Ask for a lot of money!

"Old Wu, where are the drawings?" Song Bojun turned around and asked his old friend, Wu Yueliang hurriedly took the bag in his hand to his lap when he heard it, and Gu Cheng could see that Lao Wu regarded it as a treasure.

I fully understand, after all, it is their hard work over the years.

But at this moment, Wu Yueliang took out the information without reservation, and immediately gave it to Gu Cheng one by one, he didn't think it was necessary before, but after understanding Gu Cheng's academic attainments, he firmly believed that the other party could understand it.

Wu Yueliang explained one by one: "This is the design of the laser interferometric ranging system, this is the inertial sensing system, this is the no-drag control and micro-propulsion system, and this is the design of the ultra-clean and ultra-stable aircraft......"

Gu Cheng was really looking at it seriously, these were all paper manuscripts.

"I didn't expect to be so well prepared...... Gu Cheng said in amazement after reading it for a few minutes, and admired the two scientists, judging from the notes of the manuscript, it was basically completed by the two of them, and the workload was not small, and it can be seen from these manuscripts that a lot of effort has been paid.

Song Bojun said with a smile: "I can recite it backwards, and I look forward to the funding to enter the engineering stage, some work and design need actual tests to be carried out, and there is no money to carry out, so we must do experiments." ”

Gu Cheng nodded, otherwise the time span of this project would not be as long as one or two decades, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "What is the name of this project?" ”

"The name of the project has not yet been decided." Wu Yueliang glanced at Song Bojun as he spoke, so he added to Gu Cheng: "Or is it called the 'Tianqing Project'?" ”

Gu Cheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but show a smile, and the two physicists looked at his smiling expression and realized that Gu Cheng seemed to see their careful thoughts.

I couldn't help but blush.

It really doesn't matter what the name is, the two professors care about funding, so they proposed the name "Tianqing Project" to curry favor with the potential patron.

As long as the father of the owner is happy and willing to pay, it doesn't matter what the names of "Tianqing" and "Diqing" are indiscriminate.

At this time, Gu Cheng put away his smile and asked, "So is there a specific amount for the advance budget and the total budget?" ”

He supports basic scientific research, but the money is not blown by the wind, Tianqing Science Foundation has a very strict system for the question of the whereabouts of the project's funds, the applicant has to sign an agreement, once the misappropriation of funds is found, immediately stop the appropriation, and sue the parties.

But for projects that are tens of millions of dollars, they will not allocate all the money at once.

The two old academicians looked at each other, and after a while, Wu Yueliang hesitated for a while, this number is indeed an astronomical amount, so the old professor whispered: "The initial budget is 1.27 billion, and the entire project will last for about 15 to 20 years, with a total budget of about 11.8 billion. ”

Gu Cheng: "Shocked...... It turned out that the total budget was more than 10 billion yuan in 20 years, that is to say, on average, it was only 590 million per year, less than 600 million. ”

Wu Yueliang: "......"

Song Bojun: "......"
