As Ding Cheng's self-introduction ended, Li Mu said: "I have read your information, the past achievements are very good, and he became an associate researcher of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of 29, which can indeed be called quite good." ”

"So, for this reason, why did you choose our Sheshan Research Institute?"

Very common questions in interviews, why you should come here.

Especially for people like Ding Cheng who stayed in the last place very well.

Faced with Li Mu's question, Ding Cheng's heart was full of resentment.

Of course, his anger was not aimed at Li Mu, but at Zhao Shaocheng.

If it weren't for Zhao Shaocheng, why would he come here?

As a result, more than half of the projects he had already completed in his hands now had to be handed over to another person.

Even if Zhao Shaocheng said that after he went back, he would give him a better project, and promised to approve him with more funds, and promised to let him be promoted to full researcher.

但是都已经29了的他，又如何看不出来这是在画饼。

When he really goes back, how much money can be spent on the project, maybe let him develop well for the next few years, and then he will apply for almost that much of the funds himself.

至于正研究员什么的，凭借他的能力，熬个几年也都是迟早的事情。

According to statistics, the average age of promotion to associate researcher is about 34 years old, and the full researcher is 40 years old, and he has now become an associate researcher five years in advance, and it is no problem to become a full researcher a few years earlier.

Now, what he's missing is at least two years of time to produce results.

“丁先生？ ”

Li Mu's voice woke up Ding Cheng.

He hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Li, I came to Sheshan Research Institute, mainly because the research environment here should be better, and I have seen the relevant planning of the research institute before, and I have a general understanding of it, and we will become a more pure scientific research unit here in the future." ”

"That's one of the reasons why I wanted to be here, after all, we who are engaged in scientific research like to put our minds into pure research."

Hearing his words, Wu Mengyuan next to him couldn't help but smile: "You mean to say that the physics research institute you stayed in before was not pure enough." ”

Ding Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's just that after all, Professor Li is the dean of Sheshan Research Institute, and I believe in Dean Li." ”

Of course, in his heart, he recognized Wu Mengyuan's words very much, after experiencing this incident, that research institute had become impure in his heart.

Li Mu smiled, he knew the truth, and he was almost clear about what Ding Cheng was thinking.

Of course, it was not pointed out directly, and then said: "Then thank you for your trust, then the next question." ”

Next, there are more professional questions, of course, also about the questions in the last written exam.

Ding Cheng, on the other hand, chose the condensed matter problem in the written test.

Li Mu's problem at that time was related to superconductors.

Under the guidance of his superconductivity theory, in condensed matter physics, some people who specialize in superconductivity have lost their direction, while some have begun to try to study how to synthesize better superconductors according to his superconductivity theory, and even some people try to synthesize superconductors at room temperature.

It's just that even if Li Mu's superconductivity theory wants to synthesize superconductors at room temperature, the probability is about the same as 5 million lottery tickets for a year.

Of course, in order to become famous, there are still many people who are trying, hoping to become the lucky one.

And Ding Chengcheng belongs to one of them.

In this way, after several problems, Ding Cheng's professionalism was also recognized by Li Mu and Wu Mengyuan.

This is indeed a real talent.

The amount of knowledge is very solid.

"Very good."

Li Mu bowed his head and said, "It can be seen that you have studied my superconductivity theory very deeply. ”

"You've got a knack for your research and understanding of these things."

Ding Cheng's face showed a sincere smile: "Dean Li is the scholar I admire the most, and I am a researcher of condensed matter, and I have studied superconductors a lot, and your superconductivity theory is a must-see for me." ”

Li Mu nodded.

"That's good."

Putting down the information in his hand, Li Mu asked with a smile: "Your interview is over, you can go back and wait for news." ”

Ding Cheng nodded: "Okay, hard work Dean Li, and all the academicians." ”

He bowed processarily, but just as he was about to leave, Li Mu suddenly said again: "By the way, what do you think of room temperature superconductors?" ”

Ding Cheng was stunned for a moment, the body that was about to leave turned around, faced Li Mu again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Normal temperature superconductors were impossible things in the past, but now with your superconductivity theory guidance, theoretically speaking, room temperature superconductivity does exist, but if you want to combine electron pairs in a room temperature environment, the conditions are a bit harsh, and you may need to develop a new material structure to achieve it." ”

"Of course, from my personal point of view, I still believe very much that superconductors at room temperature can inevitably be developed, after all, we always have dreams when we engage in scientific research."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Ding Cheng bowed again, and then left the conference room.

Looking at the many interviewers outside, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's really worthy of Li Mu's research institute.

Although he didn't know if he could pass or not, thinking back to the answers in the interview just now, they should all be pretty good, and the only problem was probably that he was distracted once, which might leave a bad impression.

By the way, he seems to have touted Li Mu several times just now, will he be regarded as a flatterer?

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but worry again.

However, all his praise is just subconscious, I believe that no one can be indifferent in the face of Li Mu, right?

It was definitely not intentional on his part.

But soon, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, why should he care about Li Mu's opinion, if he really can't pass the interview, it won't be what he wants?

Shaking his head, he left the place.

in the conference room.

"This Ding Cheng is really good."

Wu Mengyuan said to Li Mu after Ding Cheng left: "Compared with the previous ones who blew you in the sky and on the ground, he is still relatively restrained. ”

Li Mu shook his head with a smile.

He is completely immune to Ding Cheng's words that praise him, because after this interview, there are not many such people.

They all understood that maybe some people did this intentionally, trying to win Li Mu's favor, but in fact, more people came from the heart.

So they can't say anything about this kind of thing.

"However, this kid is from the Institute of Physics, Zhao Shaocheng's old thing's subordinates, will he have ulterior motives?"

Looking at Ding Cheng's resume again, Wu Mengyuan said.

In this regard, Li Mu just said: "It doesn't matter, if it is, I would like to thank Zhao Shaocheng for sending me a talent." ”

"Yes." Wu Mengyuan nodded and laughed: "This person admires you so much, maybe he will become your person when the time comes." ”

Everyone present laughed.

The interview continued.

And the next interviewer, a shadow walked in.

It was Li Ruyu.

She has already graduated, and she has also graduated with a doctorate, and it only took her three years to go from master's to doctorate.

After all, with Chen Shanping's resources and her own hard work, it is not difficult to complete her doctoral graduation ahead of schedule.

In addition, Chen Shanping herself left Beijing University and came here, so of course she came with her.

However, although Li Mu could directly arrange her in, Li Ruyu asked to come in through the process to avoid being told that she went through the back door.

Merely...... Now take a look.

The dean is his brother, and the director of the biology department is his former mentor.

How to lose?

不是走后门，胜似走后门。

It's just that in order not to let this "back door" sit down, Li Mu specially asked Li Ruyu a bunch of difficult questions in the process of asking questions, so that in the end, Li Ruyu looked at him with some resentment in his eyes.

Of course, no matter what, as a young generation of rising stars in the domestic biology community who can publish "Nature" on her own, she still answers these questions in an orderly manner.

She is like rain and will never give in!

……

Time passed quietly.

The ten-day interview has finally passed.

After a period of screening, Li Mu finally identified only 90 people.

Although he said that he wanted to recruit 100 people, he also preferred to lack more than abundant, so even if he didn't choose enough 100 people, he didn't ask for much.

In this way, it took more than two months to complete the recruitment of the first batch of researchers, and then the official start time was determined.

The day after the Lantern Festival in 2024!

……

"The people I arranged went in, but only one person entered, and the other four didn't enter."

"Two of the people I arranged went in."

"None of my people made it to ......"

It was still the same people in the room, and at this time they were summing up how many of the people they had arranged for them to get in after this interview.

And obviously, for now, the situation is somewhat unsatisfactory.

There are too few people who pass the interview, right?

"That guy said he was recruiting 100 people, but in fact, only 90 people were recruited in total, and there was still a gap of 10 people."

"But he doesn't plan to start a second recruitment now, probably planning to wait for next year's spring recruitment."

"In addition, he just put me in, and I think the two with the best potential are in. ”

"Me too."

"It's the same on my side."

……

For a moment, they were all silent.

It seems that the best talents under them were all selected by Li Mu, and those who were slightly worse did not enter?

In the end, someone waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't think about it, after all, the resume and everything are in front of Li Mu, he can see how talented he is, which is quite reasonable, let's not think about it." ”

"Also, since they are all talents, they may be able to take charge of some more important issues in the future."

"I hope so. ”

This is how they console themselves.

"When the time comes, when they recruit in the spring, we can arrange some more people, and the conditions should be lowered."

"Hmm."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

For a while, they seemed to see the Sheshan Scientific Research Institute, gradually starting to feast guests from the current high-rise building, to the final collapse.

……

After the interview, the Spring Festival of 2024 will also come.

两年没有回家过年的李牧，在这个春节，重新感受到了家的氛围。

After persuasion, my parents were finally willing to give up their original jobs and start enjoying their happiness.

Their family also moved into a single-family villa, with a beautiful and quiet environment, which is a high-end villa area in Qin'an.

Li Mu also brought his grandparents to buy one in the community.

Rich, capricious.

Of course, it is also because he and Li Ruyu probably can't go home often, so let the two generations live closer.

And his grandparents were in other provinces, so they didn't come to Qin'an.

On the balcony of the bedroom, Li Mu sat here, enjoying the winter scenery outside, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

This year can be regarded as a success, but counting the time, as the dean, he has to return to the scientific research institute five days in advance, so he can only stay at home for another three days.

I closed my eyes and sank into the simulated space.

"Based on the previous results, the method of using zinc chloride is no longer possible, but what if I try it with zinc oxide as a catalyst......

"Zinc oxide is formed during a catalytic reaction, after which it is re-formed...... The boiling point of zinc is 903 degrees, and zinc oxide is more than 2,000 degrees, that is, when it is more than 900 degrees, zinc will turn into steam, and then ...... Although zinc participates in the reaction in the end, because in the process of catalytic reaction precipitation of zinc, the rate of zinc production just meets the requirements of the theory, and the temperature and air pressure also meet the requirements of the theory...... It should be possible. ”

Although Li Mu mainly needs zinc steam, the requirements for the internal structure of LSC superconducting alloy are extremely harsh, and there can hardly be a trace of error, otherwise the electrons in it will easily not form electron pairs due to the force, and they cannot be superconducted.

Therefore, it is not important that the zinc vapor is integrated, but how the zinc is perfectly integrated into the alloy according to the rhythm.

"Try it first......"

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Mu began to do it.

Zinc oxide can be used as a catalyst for many reactions, but he needs to find a reaction that can be carried out at temperatures of more than 900 degrees.

This condition is more harsh, but it can't stump Li Mu.

Soon, he devised a new experiment, and then, "the 1824th experiment began." ”

Li Mu's eyes observed the industrial assembly line designed by him in front of him.

molten copper, iron, and, if necessary, niobium.

And, of course, the zinc vapor reaction that he finally altered.

Yes, he also designed the industrial preparation process.

In this way, the reaction begins, and under the acceleration of time, in the final shaping tank, the molten slurry is gradually cooled and set.

Then, a metal with the same luster as the LSC superconducting alloy appeared in front of him.

At the same time, the system in my mind sounded a voice.

"Congratulations to the host, complete the task [Miracle of Room Temperature Superconductivity]!"

"This mission brings 35,000 energy points to the upgrade, and the current upgrade progress is 115725/100,000."

"The energy value has met the upgrade demand, will I upgrade it?" Note: It is not possible to downgrade after upgrading. ”

Hearing the sound of the system, Li Mu was stunned for a while.

This sudden news made him unable to come back to his senses for a while, until he finally reacted......

Finally, the legendary superconductor at room temperature was synthesized by him?
