Chapter 576

Originally, Lu Zhou just felt that it was a pity to disband the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project team, so he proposed to retain those talents with experience in large-scale scientific research project management, follow the operation model of the Helmholtz Association, and establish A window connecting enterprises and research institutions.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that the senior management would appoint him to do this job.

What he didn't expect was that the remaining 2.7 billion scientific research funds of the demonstration reactor project were also retained in the name of "scientific research start-up funds".

According to the general situation, the unused research funds should be recovered.

With this money, at least there is no need to worry about employee salaries, the location of the new R&D center, and other costs for the time being.

The day after the commendation meeting.

The people from the Science and Technology Department took the initiative to contact Lu Zhou.

The person who came to visit him in person was a man in his early thirties, with glasses on the bridge of his nose, who looked more refined and easy-going.

According to his self-introduction, Lu Zhou learned that his name is Feng Shuqing, and he graduated from the Department of Life Sciences of Mizuki University. However, after graduating with a master's degree, he did not engage in professional work, but entered the Strategic Planning Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology through the national examination.

Before being transferred to him, his level was not low.

According to the arrangement of the Ministry, Secretary Feng is mainly responsible for two things this time. One is to cooperate with other departments to complete the reorganization of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project team, and the other is to be the head of the Eastern Production and Research Consortium after the reorganization. The post of secretary.

"...The higher-ups attach great importance to your opinions and ordered our department to cooperate with your work. The leaders of our department decided to send me to help you after a meeting and research." Maybe they noticed the surprise on Lu Zhou's face. , Feng Shuqing smiled and asked, "Is there any question for Director Lu?"

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "No problem, I just feel that Secretary Feng looks very young."

Maple Tree smiled gently, and said, "Maybe the senior management thinks that Director Lu and I are closer in age, which can reduce the gap in work communication."

Lu Zhou nodded: "I will trouble you about the management work. There may be more things on my side, so I don't necessarily have to take care of it."

Feng Shuqing said: "Don't worry about this, the Ministry sent me here to assist you!"

Lu Zhou: "Well, I will trouble you from now on... Oh, yes, there is one more thing."

Feng Shuqing: "What's the matter?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Call me Professor Lu in the future, it sounds more used to me."

Feng Shuqing was slightly stunned, then smiled, and said kindly: "Since Professor Lu insists, then I will call you that in the future."

...

As the tail of the new year gradually passed, it was confirmed that Lu Zhou's health was fine. After repeatedly telling him to pay more attention to his body, his parents also went back to Jiangling. And his younger sister, Xiaotong, also went back to Jinling before him, and started to go through the formalities of studying abroad.

As for Lu Zhou, because he still had some things to do in Shangjing, he stayed here for a few more days.

After being discharged from the 301 Hospital, these days he basically lived in the hotel next to the Old Summer Palace, which looked like a sanatorium. Although he doesn't have a house in Shangjing, every time he comes here, he never seems to have to worry about where to stay.

On the third day after the commendation meeting, Kiyoshi Toyoki went to Haizhou one step ahead of him, and started to deal with the reorganization of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor.

Lu Zhou's affairs were almost done, so he bought a train ticket back to Jinling.

I am ashamed to say that it has been almost a year since I became a professor at Jinda University, but I have not given a single class to Jinda students. Now that the burden of controlled fusion has finally been lifted, he can finally spend some time on the places he is interested in.

Next to the artificial lake in the backyard of the hotel at dusk.

Walking beside Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan, who came here to visit him, asked.

"Are you feeling better now?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I'm discharged from the hospital, what do you think?"

Chen Yushan sighed: "I know you like to stay in the laboratory, but don't be too pushy."

Lu Zhou said: "Don't worry about this, the controllable fusion project is over, at least for a while I won't be so busy."

Chen Yushan: "What are you going to do next?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while: "Now I plan to go back to Jin University to teach."

Chen Yushan teased: "You are the chief designer now, you still have time to go back to university to teach."

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "The chief designer is a thing of the past. Now that the controllable fusion has been completed, the rest of the work can be done by the technicians. There is nothing for me to design."

Although he did some work on the eastern industry-research complex before leaving, Lu Zhou did not intend to involve too much energy in areas other than research and development. The current layout is just to pave the way for future work.

If Feng Shuqing's ability is still passable, Lu Zhou plans to only plan a general direction at that time, and leave the specific work to him.

It's also quite interesting to say.

Lu Zhou found that his fate was unexpectedly similar to someone on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

After the end of the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer also returned to Princeton as the dean and no longer engaged in the research of the atomic bomb. However, unlike him, Oppenheimer was driven away because of his inner guilt and anti-war activities, while Lu Zhou had no interest in management work, so it can be said that he retired after success.

And compared to Oppenheimer, who was "rehabilitated" almost twenty years ago, his rewards can be said to be quite generous.

Whether it is the father of controllable fusion, or the halo of the Lingyun Medal.

With these two auras added to his body, he can go sideways, not to mention in the domestic academic circles, even outside the academic circles.

At least in China, this is impossible no matter how much money you have, even if you become the richest man...

Gently kicking the stones on the side of the road, Chen Yushan sighed with her index finger hooked behind her, looked at the rockery on the lake not far away, and said with some melancholy.

"That's great, you know what you want to do and how to get there. Unlike me..."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Aren't you the same? The offer from the University of Pennsylvania is not so easy to get."

Seemingly dissatisfied with this consolation, Chen Yushan pouted unhappily.

"How hard is it to get an offer from Princeton? Professor Lu Zhou, who almost became the head of Princeton's Department of Mathematics."

Hearing this strange name, Lu Zhou almost didn't choke. He coughed lightly and said, "When did I almost become the head of the mathematics department? Why don't I remember it?"

Chen Yushan: "It's almost the same anyway, if you want to be one, you can definitely be one."

Lu Zhou: "Let's not talk about me, I'm curious what your troubles are?"

"That...it's not really a trouble, maybe it's just my own entanglement," Chen Yushan hesitated for a while and said, "My father wants me to work in the system." , but I don’t really like the working environment within the system. And I’m studying finance and MBA. It’s not too strange to find a multinational company with a market value of 100 billion to realize my life value. It’s not too strange to go to the system to stamp people ?"

sweat!

What is stamping specially for people?

Although it was a joke, this generalization is too exaggerated.

Seeing Lu Zhou's powerless expression, Chen Yushan smiled and said: "Okay, thanks to the scientists of Lu University for spending so much time listening to me say so many things... Then, since your body is fine, I will Go back."

Looking at the senior sister who was about to leave, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something, and stopped her.

"Well... that's right."

Stopping in her tracks, Chen Yushan cast a questioning look at him: "Is there anything else?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while: "Do you still remember the question I asked you last year? If I remember correctly, you should have promised me at that time."

Chen Yushan: "...?"

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"If you haven't decided what to do yet, why don't you come over and help me?"

"Although it is not as exaggerated as a market value of hundreds of billions, it seems that there are still several hundred million a year."
