Wu Yueliang raised his glasses and muttered to himself: "The capitalist makes this kind of abnormal behavior, this should not be, it is not scientific, his brain is burned out......

When his assistant researcher heard the slander in his heart, he immediately explained: "Professor, the CEO of Tianqing Technology Company is a technology master in the field of applied science, although he does not have the name of a scientist, but he is a scientist, and the academic community of the isotope 129 of tin has not figured out how he synthesized it until now, besides, isn't it a good thing to be happy about?" ”

In fact, it is not surprising that Academician Wu Yueliang has such a reaction, after all, as the old saying goes, businessmen are profit-seeking by nature.

Gu Cheng takes 200 billion yuan every year to fund basic scientific research, which is too abnormal from the usual logic.

There is a good saying that science needs to be kept in place, and scientists who engage in basic research basically do not make money, and there are very few people who are scientists and entrepreneurs at the same time, and those who engage in basic scientific research burn money.

Although we know that only breakthroughs in basic scientific research can we upgrade and commercialize applied technologies, but capital still will not pay, and the reason is very simple, the state will pay for it.

Why do you need to spend extra money?

"Old Wu! Old man Wu! ”

At this moment, the person who did not see him heard his voice first, and the person who spoke could be discerned by listening to this voice was in a good mood at the moment.

Wu Yueliang and his assistant researcher followed the prestige to the door together, and when the assistant researcher came in before, he was so excited that he forgot to close the door, and then he heard a voice from outside the door.

After a while, I saw an old professor who was about the same age as Wu Yueliang enter the room, although he was not young, but from the laughter, it could be seen that his body was very good.

"Old Song?" Wu Yueliang couldn't help grinning when he looked at it: "I have encountered some great joy, look at your happy ......"

"Of course you should be happy, the entire academic community should be happy today, Lao Wu, I will tell you great news." Song Bojun said happily that he and Wu Yueliang had been demonstrating the space gravitational wave detection plan together for two years.

"Well, I heard you say that the entire academic community should be happy, and the good news you said is probably related to the Tianqing Science Foundation, right?" Wu Yueliang said in advance.

"Uh......" Song Bojun was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Yo, it's rare, haven't you been a bad old man who has never been deaf to things outside the window, when did the news become so well-informed?" Huh? You've finally opened your mind, and you finally understand that you can't just focus on academic research, but also pay attention to the matter of tickets, haha. ”

There is no way, it takes money to engage in experimental physics, and the experimental equipment is expensive, the times have changed, and the technology has to be upgraded when it progresses, and there is no money, and there is not even a decent laboratory.

Whether it is Academician Wu Yueliang or Song Bojun, they are not theoretical physicists, and those who engage in theory are simply to deduce formulas in front of the blackboard in the office, so theoretical physicists are generally mathematicians, and even the need for funds is not as great as that of their experimental physics.

"Old Song, what do you think about this?" Wu Yueliang pointed to the newspaper in his hand and said, naturally talking about the Tianqing Science Foundation.

Song Bojun pulled a stool and sat down, and said with emotion: "To tell the truth, this is indeed incredible, I was skeptical when I just learned the news, but after many verifications, it was confirmed, and the entire academic community was a sensation!" ”

Speaking of this, Song Bojun immediately looked at his old partner and added: "Old Wu, I think we have to do something as soon as possible, we can't make arguments and wait for the school to allocate funds, the arguments are already extremely perfect, and I even remember every punctuation mark clearly in my stomach." In my opinion, most of the funding from the school is far away, and now the Tianqing Science Foundation is a very good opportunity, if I miss it, I'm afraid I will regret it in my life, we don't have much time to wait, it doesn't matter, but the LISA project of the Americans has been launched, and we are already a big step behind. ”

Song Bojun said a little sad and helpless with three points of anxiety, his body is hard, but this year he is already an old man over seventy years old.

The human heart can not accept the old, but the body has to obey the old.

These words also moved Academician Wu Yueliang, and he was not as anxious.

"Then give it a try, if you can't apply, you won't be able to do it, and if you apply, it's an unexpected surprise." Wu Yueliang said in a deep voice, and immediately looked at his assistant researcher: "Xiao Pan, you go to the business capital with me, I want to visit Tianqing Company in person, give it a try, give it a try......

Pan Yang: "No problem, Professor, when will you leave?" ”

Wu Yueliang: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go tomorrow." ”

Pan Yang: "Okay, then I'll book a high-speed rail ticket first." ”

Song Bojun: "Why don't I go with you too?" ”

Wu Yueliang: "Okay, go together, hey, Xiao Pan, you book one more ticket." ”

Pan Yang: "Understood. ”

……

The sudden announcement of the establishment of the "Tianqing Science Foundation" by Tianqing Technology was like a depth charge detonated in a calm lake, and the entire academic community was in an uproar.

This incident was not only rumored in China, but the next day foreign media all quoted and reported it, and the news also spread to foreign academic circles, which was also a sensation for a while.

Many foreign scientists or basic scientific research institutions have shown great interest in it.

Because in the detailed rules disclosed, the four major plans of the Tianqing Science Foundation were announced, including the international cooperation plan.

You must know that in Europe and the United States, the investment in scientific research is shrinking every year, North America is fine, but Europe is really miserable, from the "Galileo system" that Europeans stumbled and engaged in, the recent "gate" can be seen as a small thing.

This year, the Galileo system, developed and manufactured by the European Union, has encountered big trouble, and the European Global Navigation Satellite System Agency issued a service downgrade announcement in the first half of the year, starting from 1 o'clock local time on July 11, the service of the Galileo satellite navigation system used by users has been interrupted.

All 24 satellites in orbit of the Galileo system have collapsed, which can be said to be a comprehensive "brake".

When this account is calculated to the source, the problem is still the money, and the scientific research funding in Europe is not increased but reduced, and the quality and efficiency are not followed by a decline.

This comparison, European researchers are also not calm.

As soon as the Tianqing Science Foundation was established, 200 billion yuan was injected every year to fund basic research, as well as international cooperation plans, which made foreign academic circles also attract much attention, especially some research projects that were trapped by money.

The scale of 200 billion is definitely an astronomical amount, and it has also reached 29 billion in US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 60% of the annual investment of the entire British country in the field of research and development, and the British invested 47.6 billion US dollars in research and development last year.

If it is regarded as an independent national investment in scientific research, Gu Cheng's investment is equivalent to ranking 13th in the world.

But it's the work of a company.

As soon as this news reached North America, Eagle Sauce was already full of hatred for Tianqing Technology and Gu Cheng, and when he saw this, he was about to explode.

It's amazing to play alone, but now it's okay to bring a group of people to play?

……

Shangdu, riverside villas.

At this moment, it was tea time, in the outdoor pool on the first floor of the villa, Gu Cheng leaned on the edge of the pool and comfortably admired the picture of Yan Yin Yan Luo and Mengna women playing in the water.

With the announcement of the establishment of the Tianqing Science Foundation by the company, the outside world is now spreading about it, but Gu Cheng, the initiator, doesn't care at all, as if it has nothing to do with him at all.

After a while, the housekeeper Yunlu came to the outdoor pool and walked towards Gu Cheng, she was wearing a white shirt and black bow tie, and her style was very independent.

"Mr. Gu, phone."

Yun Lu came to him and handed over the phone he was carrying, Gu Cheng took it and glanced at the caller ID on the screen.

Immediately jumped into the pool and sat down on the lounger next to him, and Yunlu handed him a dry towel by the way.

Gu Cheng wiped the drops of water from his ears and answered the phone: "It's me." What's up? Two academicians of high-energy physics from HKUST apply for R&D funding? Well, I know, you guys will receive the two old scientists first, and I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. ”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng got up and went back to the villa, the Tianqing Science Foundation had just been established and was still in the preliminary stage of improvement. Gu Cheng is the principal of this foundation, but he is only a nominal shopkeeper, and he basically doesn't care, but there is one thing he has to manage, that is, he is required to approve the application for more than 1 billion scientific research projects.
