Listening to everyone's gossip, Professor Lei's brows became more and more furrowed, and his face was covered with gloom, which was really outrageous the more he said.

There is no shadow in the first place, even if Shi Lao has the mind and the above is willing, it will take next year to have funds to be allocated, and this side is so exaggerated that it is almost said that it will take at least hundreds of millions of funds to study the graphene decomposition technology.

He naturally knows what these people are thinking, and he wants him to talk about this, not just to let him stand up for them.

He understands the difficulty of winning scientific research funds, but don't they feel that their faces are a little too hateful.

He has no objection to the idea of applying for funding, after all, funding directly determines the future of a scientific research project or even a scientist, and directly speaking, he himself lacks funds.

After all, not to mention him, even the world's top scientists are also facing the problem of lack of funding, after all, science is unknown, and it is unknown how much funding is needed.

And the larger the research project, the more money it consumes.

You must know that the courage of scientists is endless, and they dare to do as big a project as they have as much funding as they have, and even dare to do a billion billion projects with only 10 million funds.

Because once there are results, even phased results, they may cheat again, oh no, flicker, and it's not right, to get funding.

It can be said that the cost of some scientific research projects is so large that the earth cannot afford it.

For example, the black hole theory, although according to scientific speculation, this is true, but before verification, no one dares to pack a ticket to say that it is true, and if you want to verify the truth of the black hole theory, no one can pay this price.

Therefore, the legendary man who takes black holes as the main research object, although the world thinks that he is eligible to win the Nobel Prize, but he has no hope of winning the Nobel Prize in his life, for the simple reason that it cannot be verified.

The Nobel Prize in Physics must be proven by experiments or practice.

But the faces of these people in front of him, even Professor Lei himself felt that it was too inferior.

Applying for funding is originally a matter of evaluating their abilities, and Shi Lao will help whoever he is willing to help apply for funding, and besides, Shi Lao has not helped them before, but now looking at their appearance, I am afraid that they have already forgotten everything.

He was a little unhappy with Chu Hao, and even dissatisfied with Chu Hao's snatching away of his deputy director, this is really a cooked duck flying.

But his dissatisfaction was more dissatisfied with Chu Hao's current situation, and his dissatisfaction with Shi Lao's forcible promotion of Chu Hao.

He was not dissatisfied with Chu Hao's own abilities and achievements, and even he felt that Chu Hao's academic level was undoubtedly outstanding, even if he was able to compete with him, it was not certain that he could compete with him.

He just felt that at a young age, he should have been rooted in academics, deeply cultivated his own discipline, and worked hard to absorb nutrients, instead of floating on it, which was too frivolous, and it was simply pulling out seedlings to help grow.

Huaxia finally came up with such a genius, so he couldn't just kill it, but unfortunately, he told Shi Lao about it, but Shi Lao didn't agree.

"Professor Lei, what do you think, or you can go and tell Shi Lao for us. Professor Hu looked at him blankly and said.

Most of the others are like this.

There is no way, they can talk to Shi Lao in front of him, but if they want Shi Lao to dispel his decision to support Chu Hao, it is basically impossible.

It can be said that except for a few deputy directors and Professor Lei, no one can have such great influence in front of Shi Lao, so they will come to Professor Lei.

Moreover, after all, those deputy directors are academicians, and the distance from them is really a little far, even if they often deal with each other.

Because the higher the position, the busier the person, including the scientific researchers, like academicians, sometimes they are busy for two or three weeks, and they may not be able to return to the research institute once, and sometimes the guidance is even just a phone call, in comparison, Shi Lao, a semi-retired director, is more common.

In addition, they feel that in comparison, Professor Lei can feel the pain of not having funds, after all, the status of academicians is too high, as long as it is not too outrageous projects, it is basically how much can be given, not to mention that most of these academicians have undertaken major national projects, and the funds are even more or less.

For example, Academician Zhong is engaged in steel for aircraft carriers, and it is basically impossible to have the problem of lack of funds, that is, to smash the pot and sell iron, the Ministry of Finance must also give enough funds.

Moreover, didn't Chu Hao snatch the position of Deputy Director of Professor Lei, if they don't look for Professor Lei, who can they go to.

Professor Lei frowned, and then slowly relaxed, he felt a little fortunate that there were not many professors in front of him, only accounting for about one-twentieth of the researchers in the entire institute.

That is to say, most of the scientific researchers are still doing their studies in a down-to-earth manner, disdainful of this kind of calculation of flies and dogs, if it is not for this, Huaxia is not finished, he does not know, the Institute of Metal Materials is really going to end.

Seeing that Professor Lei had been silent and silent, Professor Hu's heart became even more excited, and he felt that Professor Lei agreed with his statement, "Otherwise, we will write a joint letter, and I will try to find some more professors and researchers to sign, this is really unusual, how can you swallow all the funds alone." ”

An extremely harsh word came into Professor Lei's ears, and Professor Lei subconsciously said again, "Joint letter?"

Professor Hu said excitedly: "Well, joint letter, with your signature, I will find ten or twenty professors and researchers who have different opinions on this matter, then even if it is Shi Lao, he must consider the impact, and he should give up helping Chu Hao apply for funds for the graphene decomposition project." ”

Professor Lei's eyes widened, his chest kept rising and falling, and everyone else seemed to have sensed a hint of a bad atmosphere, but Professor Hu was still unaware of it, and continued: " We also know that Chu Hao is a young genius, but it is still too impulsive to rush to impact such a project as graphene decomposition, so many famous scientists in the world have not done it, and most of them have consumed one or two hundred million US dollars, but they are still in the stage of exploration, as for when it will succeed is still unknown, it is too unwise to invest a lot of money in this way. ”

"It's just that Chu Hao is young and vigorous, why does Shi Lao follow ......"

"Bang!"

Professor Lei suddenly couldn't listen anymore, stood up suddenly, slammed the book in his hand on the table, his eyes were red, and he looked at Professor Hu angrily, he really had never seen such a brazen person.

Fighting for your own interests is understandable, but it is disgusting to eat so ugly.

And if you want to engage in such a thing as a joint letter, this is a big killer, once something goes wrong, let the people above know, even Shi Lao may be in trouble.

These people are really hurting others and not benefiting themselves.

Professor Lei now feels that it is absolutely not an exaggeration to use the words dirty and dirty to describe Professor Hu, which is too selfish.

Professor Hu was talking proudly, but suddenly heard a loud noise, and couldn't help interrupting his train of thought.

"Thunder...... Professor Lei, ...... you are" Professor Hu also seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and his forehead was instantly covered with sweat.

Professor Lei said righteously, and said sharply: "Hu Zhixing, I have never seen such a brazen person as you, who is Shi Lao willing to help apply for funds, this is Shi Lao's business, and it has nothing to do with you." Moreover, the country's various disciplines, the backwardness of scientific research level, the lack of funds, most of the scientific researchers can only do some Handan toddler research, which is also a helpless thing at this stage, but Chu Hao has the ambition to reach out to pick up the crown of the king of materials, what we should do is support, this is for China, for our Chinese scientific researchers, for our materials scholars to win glory. ”

Professor Hu's face turned from white to blue, from blue to black, and he only now woke up to Professor Lei's true attitude.

"But look at what you just said, I blush for you, at such a young age, it's really in vain. Professor Lei said disdainfully.

Professor Hu's face instantly turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Professor Lei, and said tremblingly: "Professor Lei, if you sing high-profile words, anyone will say it, but engaging in scientific research requires money, and who doesn't want to have sufficient funds for their own projects, aren't you short of money?"

Professor Lei sneered: "Lacking, lacking is still a big deal, but I still want face, I won't drag others back like you, especially for the sake of that I don't know where it is, I don't know how much, I don't know how much, I can even say that if Shi Lao draws funds from my project because of Chu Hao's project, I have no complaints." ”

He just opposes pushing Chu Hao to too high a position, and he also opposes a lot of publicity about Chu Hao in the current situation, young scholars have been in an environment of flowers and sweet words for a long time, which is not good for his growth, especially Chu Hao actually asked for two months off when he showed up before, is this the attitude of doing learning?

However, for Chu Hao's dedication to scientific research, and even the courage to impact the red ocean project of graphene decomposition in the materials science community, it is strongly supported, and scholars should be engaged in scientific research.

As for the funds and whatever, he is very open-minded, and if it is wasted, it will be wasted, and the most valuable thing is to learn experience.

It is said that fighter pilots are made of gold with the same weight as their weight, and scientists are not bad, especially famous scientists, who may consume several gold as heavy as their own weight.

A large project involving hundreds of millions of dollars of funds is small.

For example, the particle collider is something that few countries can build even if it is the power of the whole country, and even if it was built before, such as the Dongwei one, it is already the second largest economy in the world.

However, knowing that the large particle collider in his country is old and should be built new, he still refuses to start the construction plan of a new large particle collider.

The reason is also very simple.

Because even the United States, the first power on the earth, could not afford to build a large particle collider, it was supposed to be built before, but it had already cost three billion dollars, but in the end it was suspended, there was no way, the cost behind it was too great to afford.

It can be said that the cost of building a large collider is a bottomless pit.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded, and they realized at this time that they had thought badly about this matter from the beginning, and they originally thought that Professor Lei was also angry about this matter.

But now, Professor Lei actually even said the words of withdrawing funds from his own project to Chu Hao.

"I still have a paper to read, so I won't leave you there. Professor Ray sat down and picked up a paper.

Professor Lei is no longer a send-off, he is obviously going to be a guest, and he is like a frosted eggplant, and he leaves dejectedly.

"What the hell!"

Professor Ray snorted with a sneer.

These words reached the ears of everyone who had not gone far, and they instantly blushed a bunch of old faces.

Soon, before the next day, that afternoon, the scene that happened in Professor Lei's office had spread throughout the institute.

Listening to Meng Mao tell himself about the scene that happened in Professor Lei's office, Chu Hao was also a little dumbfounded.

When he saw Professor Lei in Shi Lao's office before, Chu Hao thought that this Professor Lei had to find trouble for himself, after all, he was young, he was young, and he robbed the deputy director of others.

Unexpectedly, this Professor Lei actually supported himself so much, and Chu Hao felt that his figure seemed to be a little less majestic for the first time.

Well, that's right, it's not small, at best it's not so majestic.

"It seems that I have a little bit of a villain's heart to live the belly of a gentleman. Chu Hao muttered.

Hearing Chu Hao's muttering, Meng Mao and Yin Yulian almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered their mouths.

However, with Chu Hao's perceptual acuity, how could he not notice that these two cheap students were laughing at him, but at this time, he had already fallen into thought.

Seeing Chu Hao's appearance, Meng Mao and Yin Yulian tiptoed back behind their desks.

Thanks to Chu Hao, these two students who are just students in the first year of research have also been assigned a desk, after all, Chu Hao's office is so big, he can't use it up, and it is empty, it is better to make Meng Mao and Yin Yulian's student life more comfortable, and when Chu Hao calls them, they can also be more reasonable.

"Yulian, do you say that the boss's graphene project has a spectrum?" Meng Mao said in a low voice.

Glancing at Chu Hao, seeing that Chu Hao didn't move, Yin Yulian also whispered: "I don't know, although the boss's achievements are brilliant enough, if it is put on us, I am afraid it will be enough to eat for a lifetime, but if it is a project like graphene, I am afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
