Even though for a research noob, having experiments to do was already a great thing. However, doing experiments was for the sake of reaching higher heights. What people ultimately pursued was a better quality of life.
Lu Zhou didn't want a research team that only relied on big names. What he needed was an experienced, well-coordinated, and efficient research team with an international perspective.
Talent could be accumulated through research projects, but if he wanted to retain talent, he would have to rely on compensation.
Lu Zhou felt like he couldn't spend all of the money he had made, so he might as well give it to his researchers.
After all, scientific research wasn't a one-person job. Especially the birth of the HCS-2 material, in addition to his own mathematical model, the researchers also contributed a lot.
For the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials, Lu Zhou planned on taking out 20 million yuan as a bonus pool. The bonus would be based on the contribution of the thesis and overall performance.
Not just the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials, but he would also take out a few million US dollars for the Sarrot Laboratory.
After leaving the Institute of Computational Materials, it was getting late. After Lu Zhou and Wang Peng ate at the school gate, they found a hotel nearby and booked two single rooms.
After packing his luggage, Lu Zhou turned on his computer and sent an email to White Sheridan, the manager of Star Sky Technology's North America branch.
When he was about to turn off the computer, he received an email.
The email was from Germany, and the sender was Professor Lazerson.
[Dear Professor Lu, I have to tell you something exciting. Our "He3 probe technology" has been successfully deployed on the Wendelstein 7-X! The results of the first experiment are quite gratifying. The He3 particles emitted under the extreme electromagnetic field successfully penetrated the plasma from the side and were received by the target material outside the first wall.
[In the beginning, Professor Keriber had doubts about our device. He thought that it might have unpredictable consequences for the high-temperature plasma. But it turns out that his worries were unnecessary!]
[We have successfully collected important macroscopic parameter information such as the temperature and density of the plasma. This information is more accurate than the information obtained by plasma diagnostic methods. You were not there, so you might not be able to understand how exciting and shocking what I have described is!]
[I have attached the relevant data to the email. If you can sort out anything useful from it, please be sure to contact me. I'm looking forward to the surprise you'll bring, but if there's really no other way, there's no need to force yourself. In terms of the progress we have made, our technology is already quite successful.]
[Regarding the "He-3 probe technology" thesis, my suggestion is to submit it to the ITER conference. If you have no objections, please reply to me as soon as possible …]
After reading the email, Lu Zhou's face showed a happy smile.
This research project that he had been worried about had finally come to a satisfactory conclusion. Being able to accurately collect the internal information of high-temperature plasma would help advance the entire international controllable nuclear fusion project.
However, for him, the research on plasma turbulence had just begun …
[I agree with your proposal.]
The ITER conference was an open technology exchange conference attended by plasma physics experts from all over the world. It was similar to the CERN conference for the theoretical physics community.
Other than this conference, it seemed like there was no other suitable place to submit related theses.
After Lu Zhou wrote an email and sent it out, he opened Professor Lazerson's email again.
After downloading and unzipping the attachment, he couldn't wait to open the folder of data, curves, and pictures. He began to carefully read through the data.
Time slowly passed by, and soon, half an hour had passed.
Finally, Lu Zhou quickly read through the data from beginning to end. He leaned back in his chair and stretched.
Difficult!
Extremely difficult!
Compared to the mathematical models he had built before, the amount of information contained in this data was a thousand times more complicated, maybe even ten thousand times more complicated. As for the difficulty, it also increased exponentially.
Even with his level 6 mathematics and level 4 physics abilities, he still felt that this was difficult.
"Should I use inspiration time?"
Lu Zhou stared at his computer screen and thought for around five minutes. In the end, he shook his head and gave up on this idea.
Even though the system reward's inspiration time was longer, it couldn't be interrupted.
Compared to the plasma turbulence phenomenon, the "Navier – Stokes equations" obviously had a higher priority. Before the latter was solved, he couldn't use this key on the former.
Thinking of this, he closed his laptop.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou remembered that he still had an unread letter from Professor Lu in his pocket.
He took out the letter and opened the envelope. He was surprised to see that it wasn't a normal letter; it was two stacks of paper folded into squares.
Unfolding the two stacks of pill paper, the first thing that came into view were two lines of vigorous and powerful running script.
[If you don't live a simple life, you can't go far without tranquility.]
Lu Zhou looked at these two lines of couplets and smirked.
"Nice handwriting."
Lu Zhou didn't expect the old man to be proficient in both theoretical physics and calligraphy.
As for why he said this, it was because he was a complete layman in calligraphy.
To be able to make a layman like him feel its charm, the old man's calligraphy must have reached an outstanding level, even if he didn't have the skill to go deep into the wood.
"I'll hang this couplet for Chinese New Year."
It was getting late, so Lu Zhou folded the couplet and stuffed it back into the envelope. He then took out some clean clothes from his suitcase and walked toward the bathroom.
…
The next morning, at the Institute of Computational Materials.
Even though there were still a few weeks until Chinese New Year, the research institute was already filled with a festive atmosphere.
The reason was because today was payday.
The year-end bonus that they had been looking forward to for a month was finally coming to them.
Liu Bo looked at Qian Zhongming, who was stunned. He hadn't received a text from the bank yet, so he poked Qian Zhongming's arm and asked excitedly, "How much did you get as a bonus?"
It wasn't appropriate to ask about other people's bonuses in the workplace. However, unspoken rules were unspoken rules, and no one could stop people from talking about it. Not to mention the special environment of the laboratory, where free scientific research could be discussed openly, normal workplace rules didn't apply.
Qian Zhongming looked at the text message and went silent for a while before he spoke.
"I got 880,000 yuan … Did I get the wrong number?"
"The f * ck? Eight … "
Liu Bo was shocked by this number, and his entire body froze.
After a while, he also received a text message.
He looked at the number on his phone screen and went silent for a while before he spoke.
"I can confidently tell you that the finance department probably didn't get the wrong number."
Qian Zhongming quietly asked, "How much did you get?"
Liu Bo gulped and spoke with difficulty.
"I … 660,000 yuan."
Qian Zhongming: "…"
Liu Hong, who was sitting in the corner of the office, looked at the 100,000 yuan bonus on his phone screen, and he was almost moved to tears.
He had never seen this much money when he was working for Wang Haifeng …
At least he could find a better place to rent.
Compared to the other silent colleagues, Yang Xu was undoubtedly the most silent person in the office.
His bonus was undoubtedly the highest.
1.5 million yuan …
When he saw this number, his hands began to tremble.
His original plan was to save money for two years, then buy a house in Jinling with a loan. However, he didn't expect his plan to change.
No matter what, the prize money was too frightening!
Especially for materials science …
