After Lu Zhou handed over the equity acquisition to Chen Yushan, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he focused his attention on the proposal on the computer screen.
Even though Feng Shuqing was responsible for the restructuring of the STAR-2 project team, as the chief designer of the fusion reactor project, his opinion was still very important.
Especially regarding the planning of the Eastern Production and Research Institute.
According to the higher-ups, the newly established production and research institute would focus on aerospace, energy, and information technology. They would focus on research and development in these three areas.
There had to be a focus in everything. Lu Zhou decided on the basis of determining the research field. He planned on choosing one or two directions from these three fields as the focus of research and development.
For example, aerospace. He planned on doing plasma thrusters.
The reason why he made this choice wasn't entirely because of the unknown Debris No.3. The main reason was that some of the controllable fusion engineering technology could be applied to plasma thruster research.
Just like how the Apollo moon landing project indirectly promoted the development of gas-steam turbine combined cycle technology (GTCC), many plasma propulsion technologies were actually interconnected with controllable fusion research.
As for energy, Lu Zhou planned on continuing to delve into controllable fusion and doing research on the second generation of controllable fusion technology. Which was to use helium-3 and deuterium as fuel for fusion ignition.
Even though this technology was difficult to achieve in a short period of time, it would always be worth the investment in the future.
As for the information technology field, this was slightly beyond the scope of Lu Zhou's research.
Even though he had read books in this area because of the system mission, he was far from being a professional.
However, after some careful thinking, Lu Zhou finally made a decision. He chose carbon-based chips and quantum computers as his main research focuses.
The Eastern Production and Research Institute focused on medium and long-term projects. As an academic leader, he didn't need to worry too much about whether or not a technology could produce results in the short term.
Science wasn't like farming; it wasn't something that could produce results just by investing in it.
As long as these two technologies were theoretically feasible in the long term, that was enough.
Lu Zhou was halfway through the outline when he looked at the long list on the screen. He leaned back in his chair and stretched.
"It's already ten o 'clock?"
Unknowingly, a day had passed.
Thinking that he still had to go to school tomorrow, he didn't stay up too late. After taking a hot bath in the bathroom, he went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed.
Xiao Ai, who was commanding the operation of the drone, brought him the phone from the study.
Lu Zhou leaned on his pillow and scrolled through Weibo. He liked a comment that complimented his handsomeness and began to feel sleepy. He yawned and quickly fell asleep …
…
The next morning.
Lu Zhou got up early. After washing up, he put on a windbreaker and went out.
When he walked out of the house, a Hongqi was already waiting at the gate of the villa.
After sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Zhou looked around the car and said, "I plan to change cars."
Wang Peng smiled and said, "Are you going to buy a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW? I know how to drive it anyway. "
Lu Zhou: "I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I'll buy an electric one?"
It was only a few stops away from Mount Zijin to the university town, so it wasn't very far.
While the two were chatting, they soon saw the Jin Ling University International Convention Center building.
Lu Zhou drove the car into the campus and parked in front of the cafeteria. He unbuckled his seat belt and asked casually.
"Did you eat breakfast?"
"I ate before I came to pick you up."
"Okay then, I won't buy you breakfast."
After that, Lu Zhou got out of the car and closed the door.
After he bought breakfast from the cafeteria, he took the steamed buns and soy milk to the mathematics department building and went straight to his office.
When he walked to the door of his office, he was about to take out his keys to open the door when he heard someone's voice inside.
Lu Zhou hesitated for a second and knocked on the door.
As if confirming his guess, footsteps came from behind the door.
Then, the office door opened. A girl with bangs and round-rimmed glasses appeared behind the door and looked at him with surprise.
"Ah, professor, why are you here so early?"
Lu Zhou was more surprised than her, and he hesitated for a second.
He hesitated for a second and asked, "You are?"
The girl smiled shyly and said, "My name is Zhao Huan, I'm your assistant."
Assistant?
Lu Zhou had a strange look on his face. He looked at the other two desks in the office.
There was a girl in her twenties sitting behind the desk. She was curiously looking around.
"What about them?"
Zhao Huan said awkwardly, "They're also …"
Lu Zhou: "…"
After some introductions, Lu Zhou had a general understanding of the three of them.
The girl with bangs was called Zhao Huan. She was mainly responsible for confirming the schedule for classes, meetings, and visits. The girl with wavy hair was called Kong Jie. She was responsible for copywriting, PowerPoint, and miscellaneous stuff. As for the other one who was responsible for public relations, she was responsible for answering phone calls and running errands …
Why does she look so familiar?
When Lin Yuxiang saw that Lu Zhou was looking at her, she waved her hand and said, "Hello ~"
Lu Zhou: "…"
Lin Yuxiang: "Don't be so cold, we're comrades-in-arms."
She's just bringing me food, how can she be so confident?
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "Why are you here?"
"I'm graduating next year. I plan on becoming a civil servant, so I applied to stay at the university." Lin Yuxiang smiled and said, "I didn't expect the university to arrange for me to work in your office. Maybe this is fate."
Lu Zhou: "…"
It's been so many years, but this girl hasn't changed at all.
Lu Zhou ignored President Lin. He looked around the office and spoke.
He then said, "Since the university already told you what to do, I won't repeat it. Just do your work step by step. If there are any special circumstances, contact me … Also, where's the resume for the master's exam? Yesterday, the academic affairs department sent me an email saying that they already sent it. "
When Zhao Huan heard Lu Zhou ask about this, she quickly ran to her desk and handed the organized resume to Lu Zhou.
"I've already organized it for you."
Lu Zhou nodded and took the resume. He flipped through it and nodded.
"Mhmm, not bad."
He didn't say anything else. He sat behind his desk and began to carefully read through the resumes.
…
Since Lu Zhou was quite busy with work, he could understand why the university arranged for him to have three assistants. However, he didn't understand why they only arranged for women.
It wasn't that he doubted the efficiency of women, it was just that being a research assistant wasn't a good job.
As a buffer position, research assistants could be considered one of the cheapest labor forces in universities.
Compared to postdocs, which required a little bit of technical content and had hope of making a name for themselves, scientific research assistants were all manual labor. The salary was low, and there was no future for them. The only way out was probably to transfer to an administrative position. If they didn't have the ability, they would probably leave after three or four years.
Honestly speaking, Lu Zhou didn't think they could do this job well, nor did he think they would be able to stick it out.
But in any case, he had already arranged for them.
Regardless of whether he was satisfied or not, he had to wait for a while.
Lu Zhou spent the entire morning flipping through the resumes that Zhao Huan had already organized for him. He then confirmed the candidates for the interview.
This time, Lu Zhou planned on recruiting quite a number of students.
Not only in mathematics, but he also wanted to recruit people in computational materials, and he even wanted to recruit two people in theoretical physics.
