After chatting with Lu Qingzhou, Chen Nian's first-stage layout was basically completed.

Metallic hydrogen, nuclear power, plus a nuclear submarine that increases strategic deterrence.

These things will become the first key to open the overall situation of science and technology in the near future, and after that, Chen Nian will gradually extend his technical tentacles to agriculture, medical care, and advanced industry, and completely open the door to comprehensive transcendence.

However, Chen Nian also knows that these things cannot be rushed.

While constantly exporting technology, he is also absorbing knowledge with unprecedented speed and intensity with the help of Xinghuo's resources.

The content of materials science is broad and profound, and the more he learns, the more he feels his ignorance, even if he has made some achievements in one field, but when he moves on to the next field, he will face many tests.

There is no such thing as "once the foundation is laid, everything will fall into place".

Just like now, after switching to anti-neutron irradiation materials, he feels like his brain is running out.

Even for the whole world, anti-neutron irradiation materials are a very new topic, and there are not many technologies to refer to, and the theoretical basis is relatively weak.

Therefore, Chen Nian chose to directly analyze a more popular material in later generations, that is, CLAM anti-neutron irradiation steel.

Relying on this material and the technology provided by the system, Chen Nian plans to mainly do reverse engineering in the future, so as to consolidate his knowledge system and improve his learning efficiency.

Of course, the technology itself will not be wasted, and the piping system of the thorium-based molten salt reactor can be used just right.

Diligence and thrift make a revolution are vividly reflected in Chen Nian.

Not a single source point is wasted, and even a source point is expected to play double the value.

It is estimated that if there is a designer of this system, they should have been stunned by Chen Nian's search

Of course, it was Lu Qingzhou who was even more surprised.

The day before, he told Chen Nian that the material problem was not easy to solve, and the next day Chen Nian gave him a copy of the CLAM steel manufacturing technology plan, which even included a gradient nanostructure strengthening technology that had just been proposed in the world, had not yet begun to be explored, and even had an imperfect theoretical basis.

With this technology, the surface strength and radiation resistance of CALM steel will be further improved, and although it is not known how much the specific data performance can be improved, it is clear that it will definitely not be a small number.

As a result, the whole project started in an exceptionally smooth process.

The initial design standards for the 216 reactor were overturned, and Lu Qingzhou did not hesitate to reduce the importance level of the 216 reactor to a secondary level, and began to invest most of the resources in the new thorium-based molten salt reactor.

Everything is going for the better.

——

Of course, it's not just on the project.

Chang'an, Western University of Technology.

Liu Hai walked silently through the campus that he was once extremely familiar with, and the emotion in his heart could no longer be described in words.

He remembers that when he walked into the campus a few years ago, he still had the impression of a "shabby old school".

But over the years, the school has changed dramatically.

The buildings were completely new, the greenery was greatly improved, and even the students walking on the road looked different from the ones he had seen before.

It seems that in this school, the only thing that hasn't changed is himself.

A few years have passed, and I am still doing my old job.

To put it nicely, it is to be a "headhunting consultant".

To put it mildly, he is a broker who resells talents.

However, unlike before, the people he serves have changed.

He no longer recruits talent for the Senas company, which has long since withdrawn from the Chinese market for some complicated reasons.

The public statement is that they believe that the Huaxia market is too small to meet the company's development needs.

But in Liu Hai's view, this reason is pure nonsense.

Small size of Huaxia?

If this is all small, there will be no large market in the world.

Besides, when you were recruiting people to expand, didn't you always say that the market potential here is endless?

Now you turn your face and don't recognize people? What you said was considered a fart?

I have to say that Liu Hai has a grudge against Senas.

When they needed themselves, they held themselves up higher than anyone else, as if they were their saviors, and without them, the company's business would not be able to function.

But when the business changes and they no longer need themselves, they kick themselves away like dogs, completely ignoring their development after leaving the industry, and taking into account any previous cooperation between the two parties.

They call this the "spirit of contract", but in Liu Hai's view, this is purely the cold-blooded nature of the capitalists.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that after breaking away from Senas, he did not have any good development for a long time.

Although I can occasionally get one or two jobs to make ends meet, compared to the peak of the year, it can be said that there is a heaven and an underground.

Times have changed.

This is the biggest feeling of bangs.

In the past few years, most of the projects he has done are still projects of foreign companies, but he clearly feels that compared with a few years ago, the attractiveness of foreign companies in China is declining significantly.

He also analyzed the reasons and finally concluded that the root cause of this phenomenon is not complicated.

On the one hand, the external economic pressure is increasing, the salary level of foreign companies is decreasing year by year, and the salary level of local enterprises is increasing year by year, because the attractiveness brought by economic benefits is becoming more and more equal.

On the other hand, it is the explosive improvement of the level of domestic scientific research.

Not to mention the aviation field that he is good at, including heavy industry, machinery, railways, and semiconductors in almost all high-tech fields, Huaxia has shown jaw-dropping potential and strength in recent years.

Therefore, those recent college graduates are also more willing to choose local companies, because they know very well that there is still a big gap between three years and a lifetime.

There is nothing the bangs can do about their choice.

He can only work harder, hone his words harder, and try to improve the success rate of the invitation.

However, under the torrent of changes in the general environment, no matter how hard Liu Hai tries, there are actually very few things that can be changed.

Just like this time, even though he felt that he had exerted his strongest strength, the candidate still only gave an ambiguous answer, and even asked him to go to the Western University of Technology for an interview before making a decision.

If it was a few years ago, I am afraid that this kind of request would not only be rejected by Liu Hai on the spot, but even the candidate would have to be ridiculed by him.

But now it's different, under the pressure of life, Liu Hai can only come to Xi'an University of Technology in a low voice, intending to work harder for his "20,000 yuan per person" remuneration.

The meeting place was placed in a café near the new cafeteria, and Liu Hai looked for it for twenty minutes before he found it.

After sitting down, he waited for another half an hour before the candidate named Bukai arrived too late.

Bangs stood up, smiling all over his face, and enthusiastically extended his hand to Bu Kai, who also smiled in response.

"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, I've kept you waiting, I happened to have an interview call over there, so I was delayed for a while."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's graduation season, it's normal to be busy with interviews."

Bangs didn't dare to show the slightest displeasure, but put on an empathetic look.

Bu Kai was extremely satisfied with this, the two sat down one after another, and after chatting a few words, Liu Hai tentatively asked:

"Xiao Kai, how are you thinking about the opportunity we talked about before?"

"You know that this position is not always available, and if time passes, it will be difficult to queue up again."

"I'm also for your good now, even if I'm still hesitating, take the offer down first, and then I'll talk about whether I go or not."

Hearing his words, Bu Kai shook his head and said solemnly:

"Brother Liu, you can't say that."

"I'm still a fresh graduate, and when looking for a job, I have to sign a three-party contract, in case I sign now, and I am not satisfied and want to change companies, then it will be a big trouble."

"So, I'm still going to have to think about it."

"Besides, the opportunity in your hands isn't too good for me, and to be honest, it's not very attractive."

"Isn't that good?"

Bangs asked in surprise.

Then, he quickly realized his gaffe, so he adjusted his emotions and followed the temptation:

"I don't know how much you know about semiconductors, but Qualcomm can be said to be the strongest semiconductor company in the world at present."

"Just last year, the latest S1 chip they launched can be said to have directly broken TI's monopoly in the field of mobile phone application processors and paved the way for the company's subsequent development."

"That's what you've learned, and you should know what a 65nm processor is."

"In a word, the research and development they are engaged in is the research and development of the world's most advanced semiconductor technology."

"Even if you don't consider your personal financial returns, it's very wise to choose Qualcomm."

Bu Kai on the opposite side nodded noncommittally, and then a trace of imperceptible disdain appeared on his face.

After a few seconds of pause, he replied:

"To say that Qualcomm is the most advanced chip company is definitely biased in this evaluation."

"Let's not mention Apple, Samsung's technology in the application processor, take the domestic SMIC, they announced the 40nm process technology last year."

"And, according to their predictions, as long as the problem of the lithography machine is solved, they can get the application chip to the 20nm level in the shortest possible time."

"This short period of time will definitely not exceed two years."

"Brother Liu, do you understand what I mean?"

"I mean, Qualcomm is not only not the 'strongest' now, but even a generation gap with SMIC."

Liu Hai nodded silently and did not answer immediately.

In fact, putting aside technology, even if it is only from the analysis of the development of the industry, Liu Hai also knows that Qualcomm can't beat SMIC, and he is a little uneasy when he speaks with a clear conscience.

But the problem is that I just eat with this, even if I open my eyes and tell nonsense, I have to go to the end.

So, he continued:

"SMIC is really strong at the moment, but you also know that their business is new."

"The process is not thorough, the management is relatively extensive, and even the salary is only half of Qualcomm."

"You see, we are all ordinary people, we can't think about problems too macroscopicly, we have to think about it from ourselves."

"Qualcomm's salary of 17,000 and SMIC's salary of more than 5,000, the gap is still quite big, right?"

Bu Kai smiled and asked rhetorically:

"Qualcomm's salary of 17,000, how many years can it last?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Hai was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"I mean, Qualcomm's current high wages are entirely based on their technology monopoly."

"But what if one day, their technological monopoly is completely broken?"

"Not only the technology of mobile phone application processors, but also other storage, wireless, transmission and even the monopoly on the 'industry standard' have been completely broken?"

"Will they be able to sustain such high wages when the time comes?"

"What should I do if I can't sustain it, or even lay off employees?"

"You know, to enter this kind of company, you have to sign a non-compete agreement, and I don't want to be delayed by it for a lifetime."

But the possibility you're depicting isn't going to happen anytime soon, is it?"

Liu Hai's tone was a little hesitant, he was not so familiar with the semiconductor industry, and if it wasn't for making money, he wouldn't plan to take on this job.

"Not necessarily, maybe 10 years, maybe 5 years, maybe just one year."

"In short, this choice is not safe, and if I can't get more preferential conditions, it is really difficult for me to consider Qualcomm."

At this point, Bu Kai's intentions were also exposed.

To put it bluntly, it's a bargain.

Liu Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party was willing to bargain, then there was still a chance.

So, he spoke:

"Within my personal authority, I can tell you that the ceiling for this post is 20,000."

"Further up, there is not much possibility-—— of course, I can also help you say some good things and try to fight for it."

"Twenty thousand. It's still not enough. ”

Bangs frowned and continued:

"If you are outstanding in the follow-up technical aspects, you can also apply to join the equity incentive plan, which is not a small number."

"It's still not enough."

"The signing bonus, this is the last condition I can apply for."

"At the very least, you'll have to meet and I'll do my best to push you forward."

Bu Kai's firm expression finally began to loosen a little, and the bangs on the opposite side were so nervous that they were about to collapse.

That's really all he can throw around.

If such conditions can't impress the other party, then there is really no other way for you.

For more than a month, I called every day to ask about my intentions, shh

All this he did was to get closer to the other party and increase the chances of his invitation success by a few percentage points.

He thinks he's done everything he can do, and even the best headhunters aren't necessarily better than him.

This time, it should work, right?

Liu Hai looked at the other party expectantly, but just as Bu Kai was about to speak, the mobile phone he put aside suddenly rang.

Bu Kai picked up the phone, and a man's voice came from the other end.

"Hello?"

"Yes, I'm Bukai."

"SMIC's strategy group? Nanniwan project? I'm fine! ”

"Yes, that's totally acceptable!"

"Let's meet! Thanks a lot! ”

After just a few words, Bu Kai hung up the phone.

Then, he looked up at his bangs apologetically and said:

"Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I won't consider your chance."

Bangs nodded numbly, and from the moment the phone was connected, he knew he didn't have a chance.

I tried my best to fight for something, but others only need a phone call, don't get it easily

Such a sense of disparity made his emotions fall directly to the bottom.

As if noticing the expression of the bangs, Bu Kai hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Brother Liu, I don't think you're doing this job, it's not quite right."

"Of course, there are people who are willing to go to foreign companies, but few people who are serious about scientific research are really willing."

"As you know, in terms of scientific research strength, we are not as good as foreign companies for the time being, but if we look at the potential, I'm afraid no one can compete with us."

"The facts of the past two years are enough to tell the problem, no matter how hard you go, there will be no results."

"I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

"Then listen to it."

Bangs replied with a sigh.

"We need talent now, you see, you can introduce people to foreign companies, why can't you bring people from outside to us?"

Bangs were stunned.

At this moment, he had a feeling of enlightenment.

Yes, why do we have to go against the market and the environment?

Why can't we think differently?

Indeed, it is also a good route to introduce talents

He immediately made a decision in his heart.

However, at this moment, he would never have imagined that long in the future, his decision would make him the most famous "human trafficker" in the world.
