Chapter 473 Knowledge Is the Greatest Wealth
Vehicles came and went on the construction site, smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of excavators and cement trucks roared and rattled non-stop. The engineer wearing a white helmet held the design drawing in his hand, and personally went down to the first site to take command. The construction workers wearing yellow helmets ran fast on the construction site.
Everyone is like a clockwork machine, running continuously with engineering equipment. The progress of the project is also advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it is a scene of enthusiasm.
The environment at the scene was very poor. Even if you just stood on the sidelines and watched, the leather shoes would be covered with a layer of plaster in a short time.
However, the leaders of the municipal party committee, who were standing not far away to inspect, didn't have any disgust on their faces, instead they were smiling.
The sudden settlement of a national project with a billion-dollar investment in Jinling is like a surprise that fell from the sky for the city of Jinling.
In particular, systematic scientific research projects such as controllable nuclear fusion will be of great help to the development of high-tech industries and talent introduction policies in the entire Jinling City.
Or to put it bluntly, these are all visible achievements.
Of course, although controllable nuclear fusion is not something worthy of careful secrecy, there are many research institutions at home and abroad that are doing it, and they have been doing it for almost half a century.
But in order to avoid unnecessary worries and misunderstandings, this kind of thing can still be kept low-key, and before the staged results worth showing off, we should try our best to avoid publicity with great fanfare.
In terms of engineering, Team Leader Liao is watching over there, and the qualifications of the construction unit are also reassuring.
With the current project speed, it can be completed and accepted in half a year at most. If it is fast, it will not even take half a year. Three or four months will be enough.
After getting the guarantee from the head of the Liao team, Lu Zhou didn't worry too much about the project. After asking Mr. Sun for a few requirements, he focused on the preparation of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
On the third day before the New Year's Day, the second week after the official start of the "STAR" Stellarator Research Institute, the building of the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials was finally completed.
The laboratory building in the Chemical Institute, which was borrowed by Lu Zhou for almost two years, has finally returned to its original owner.
However, for the professors at Kim Dae Hwa Institute, they are not so eagerly looking forward to its return.
Because the relocation of the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials also means that the high-tech instruments and equipment worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars will also move with Yang Xu and the others.
Although the new address of the Institute of Computational Materials is not very far from here, it is outside the campus after all.
If you want to rub the instrument later, it will not be so convenient.
Looking at the truck going away, Dean Li, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, was still obsessed with saying: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, and no one is urging you."
Lu Zhou: "After all, this laboratory building is the property of the school. It's not good for me to occupy it in my own name."
Dean Li shook his head and said, "Can you count as an outsider?"
Lu Zhou smiled: "Jinda University is my alma mater, I have never regarded myself as an outsider, but it is better to separate public and private."
If this relationship is inseparable, problems will arise sooner or later.
When he was abroad, he took every step very carefully. Now that he is back in China, he should be more careful in some aspects.
Seeing that Lu Zhou had said that, Dean Li didn't want to keep him anymore, but just sighed.
"That's right, you are now a Nobel Prize winner, a benchmark in the scientific community in Huaguo, and the spotlight is on you. There are many people staring at your achievements, and there are also many people waiting for you to make mistakes. Be careful. That's right."
Lu Zhou nodded: "I will."
...
The building of the Institute has been put in place, and the relocation of the instruments has been basically completed. However, for the blueprint of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study in Lu Zhou's mind, everything has just begun.
Now in the entire research institute, except for one Institute of Computational Materials, other research units are invisible.
To turn this blueprint into reality, he still needs to work hard.
Since it is a private research unit, after making policy appeals, Lu Zhou did not have the nerve to ask the country for money. Although the leader promised him an interest-free loan of 1 billion RMB, he did not plan to ask the bank borrow the money.
One is that there is not enough money for the time being.
The second reason is that there are still a lot of funds in the account of the domestic branch of Xingkong Technology at his disposal.
If he hadn't looked at the numbers in his account, he would have almost forgotten that he was already a billionaire. After realizing that he still had so much money at his disposal, he transferred 100 million to the account of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study without saying a word.
Lu Zhou never cared about spending money on research.
After all, the original intention of establishing Xingkong Technology was to transfuse blood into its own laboratory.
With his most capable helper Yang Xu, Lu Zhou wandered around in the brand-new research institute building, while familiarizing himself with the environment here, he said in a chatty tone.
"How does it feel to move into your new home?"
Yang Xu said with a smile: "The laboratory is much more spacious, but there are too few people, so it seems deserted."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled.
"The desolation is temporary, and soon we will recruit a group of researchers to enrich this place."
With the aura of the Nobel Prize, coupled with the high-tech instruments in the entire laboratory building, he can attract a large number of hard-working scientific research dogs to work for him without even needing a high salary.
Of course, from a long-term perspective, he would not treat his scientific researchers badly.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office of the dean of the research institute, overlooking the entire research institute, Lu Zhou said ambitiously.
"The entire institute has only completed the first phase of the project, and there are still three phases to go, not only in materials science, but also in mathematics and physics. Whether it is hardware or software, we must strive to achieve world-class standards!"
Yang Xu: "Better than CERN?"
Lu Zhou: "It will be sooner or later."
Anyway, bragging doesn't need to be drafted, what if it comes true?
Yang Xu joked: "Are you really going to build a hadron collider?"
Lu Zhou smiled: "I have this idea, but this thing can't be built in the city, and we don't have the energy at this stage."
Experiments in theoretical physics are another funding black hole. Even if he throws his entire net worth into it, he probably won't be able to make a name for himself.
However, when the controllable nuclear fusion project is completed and accepted, I am afraid that there is no need to worry about this funding.
At that time, whether it is to draw a circle on the ground to build a hadron collider, or put a satellite in the sky to collect dark matter, as long as he has this idea, someone will definitely give him the green light.
Yang Xu didn't think about such a distant thing, he touched his chin while his mind was still on the Hadron Collider, and said in a slightly surprised voice.
"I'm afraid the cost of that thing is expensive. It's tens of billions. The question is where will the money come from?"
Lu Zhou smiled lightly, but did not answer the question directly.
"Knowledge is the greatest wealth, and our research itself is creating wealth."
After all, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he paused for a moment, then continued.
"Call all the researchers of the institute, let's hold a meeting and talk about what we are going to do next!"

(To be reasonable, you all thought that I would goo, but in fact I did, so it means that there is no goo... Well, sorry guys, the osmanthus blossoms are blooming recently, and I happen to be a little pollen allergic, and I have been sneezing these days Playing non-stop, dizzy and really unable to erupt, but I will definitely remember, I still owe two league eruptions, and I will make up when the state is better! _:(`"∠):_）
