Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 655: The Power of Science and Technology
Tang Xiu politely shook hands with Mo Yi and smilingly said, “I've long heard of you, Professor Mo. I've talked to Uncle Yuan before and he's very complimentary of you. ”
“I'll break his leg if he dares to say bad things about me. '' Mo Yi glanced at Yuan Zhengxuan and replied with a smile. “However, the product he wants to develop is now finished, and also produces good results. So now everyone is feeling bad because he doesn't need us and just wants to kick us out! ”
Tang Xiu could see a hint of embarrassment on Yuan Zhengxuan's face and quickly said, "What you said is not true, Professor Mo. Uncle Yuan and I are like family, and he is the one who introduced you to me, so how can it be said that he wants to expel you? In fact, I know what everyone is worried about. You are all afraid that I will be very demanding or about the research direction for the product, as well as whether I can actually invest in it. Of course, there was also the matter of everyone's salary as well. So, the reason I came here today is to discuss this matter with all of you. ”
After seeing Tang Xiu straight to the point, Yuan Zhengxuan immediately echoed, "Alright, you talk here first. I'll discuss a few things. We'll meet again at lunch later, Tang Xiu. ”
"okay!" Tang Xiu nodded. With his departure, he looked at Mo Yi again and said, "Professor Mo, what I just said should address some of your problems, right?"
"Yes, what you say is our business. If you can eliminate this problem for us, maybe we can work for you, ” Mo YI said.
Tang Xiu pulled out a chair and after gesturing for everyone to sit down, he said, "First, I'll talk about the direction of the research. I think everyone knows about the Earth's gravitational field, right? What I want to examine is similar to how an airplane flies with buoyancy. I call this object a temporary 'Flying Disk. And once this type of flying disk has been researched and developed, it will allow people to stand on it and fly, so that someday it will become popular in the community. ”
Flying Disk?
Mo Yi and dozens of researchers wore strange expressions on their faces and looked at Tang Xiu as if he was an extraterrestrial. They had also seen the object he was talking about, but it was in a foreign science fiction movie.
"Are you joking with us, sir. Smell?"
Mo Yi exchanged glances with some of the leading researchers around him and then asked with a serious face.
"No, I'm not kidding at all. "Tang Xiu shook his head. “I am talking what I really think. The products of science have and still need to be created from imagination. For example, about decades ago, who at that time could have thought that there would be a maglev train in the world now? On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers of the United States were the first to realize the dream of flying by piloting the first aircraft in history. Before these events were written in the historical record, who would have ever thought that there would be an aircraft produced in the world and come out as one of the main vehicles for human transportation today? ”
Mo Yi and the dozens of researchers fell silent and finally realized that Tang Xiu was not joking at all. However, such a strange idea was just an illusion and made them force a smile, albeit wryly inside.
"If you are an investor in this research, then we should follow your arrangements, Tang Xiu. But this Flying Disk you mentioned is very difficult to research. The main subject that researchers have done here is mainly on hot and hot guns. Although we have studied the mechanism of gravity as well, it is not very deep and thorough. I can only hear some kind of driving force behind what you just outlined, but you are ignoring the most important issue about it, which is the problem with traffic. It may not be pleasant to hear, but I'm afraid we're not up to the task, ” Mo Yi said with a serious expression.
"This matter can be resolved very well, but I will let you know later," Tang Xiu said. “Let's discuss the next issue: how will I manage this institute. I will only send my people to supervise and understand the progress of the research, but I will not intervene in the research content and any subject. As for your salary and care, your current salary will increase by 50%, and I can also provide a steady stream of research funds. As much as you dare to ask, how much will I give. ”
"This subject is completely new, Mr. Odor . "Mo Yi knit his brows. “It will be very difficult to do research, and the funds needed will be very large. For just a trial of this project .. we may encounter dozens or even hundreds of failures .. Do you have the funds and substantial financial support for this? Can you really take responsibility for what you just said? "
With a confident expression, Tang Xiu replied, "You all work in Star City, so you should know the Magnificent Tang Company. I'll be open to you, I'm the owner of the Magnificent Tang Corporation. Do you think there will be enough funding available for you to do this research? "
"Tang Magnificent Company?"
A shocked expression appeared on Mo Yi's face, and even some researchers exclaimed. They had worked in Star City for so many years, so how could they not know about this company? Of all the company groups in Star City, the company that developed and grew the fastest, with the profit that became the subject of others' jealousy, was none other than the Magnificent Tang Corporation!
Mo Yi took a deep breath and said seriously, “Alright. Then let's go back to the first problem. ”
“Professor Mo, there is a principle of truth that I have learned since my childhood that money is not the answer to everything nor is it almighty, but it is quite close to it now. It is often said that we can make even the devil work for us if you have money. As long as I have the funds, you can ask me how much money you need to buy materials for research or to hire other experts. I've just heard a few words a few days ago that you can even buy a nuclear warhead as long as you have the money. ”
“I'd like to know about that too. "Ask Tang Xiu. "How much exactly do you need for an up-front investment before you start this project?"
"It's…"
Mo Yi confused the words, and then immediately whispered with another researcher for a long time. He then sat back in front of Tang Xiu and emphasized every word he said, “We dare not give everything if the initial investment is less than nine figures. ”
Tang Xiu patted his thigh and exclaimed loudly, "Then I will invest ten figures for the initial investment. You can contact me again if the funds are running out. ”
Ten figures? A billion?
Mo Yi and the other researchers were really scared by Tang's bravery and enormous capital. Their last project was the largest result of their research so far, and the initial investment for the research cost before it was completed was only 200-300 million yuan. However, the amount of funds Tang Xiu proposed was only an initial investment, and additional funds could be added continuously later on.
"You ... are you sure?" Mo Yi's voice trembled slightly.
"This Tang Xiu is always serious and means what I say," Tang Xiu said without hesitation. "If you don't believe me, I can create a public account for the research fund to be managed by me and Professor Mo. I will immediately transfer 1 billion yuan to this account once it is set up. ”
Mo Yi and the other research scientists exchanged glances. They could feel Tang Xiu's determination and determination in his words. After half a minute of silence, Mo Yi suddenly got up and said seriously, “I will participate in this Flying Disk research project. And I will never stop before the project is finished, and I will work hard as long as I can still move. ”
“I, Wang Yin, decided to participate as well. ”Other professors-researchers with white coats rose and echoed.
"I'm coming too!"
"Me too!"
"I…"
Dozens of researchers rose up and expressed their willingness. Tang Xiu's attitude, along with the huge support of the investment fund, gave them great courage. Since the parties who will invest are not even afraid to provide such a large fund, why are they — the researchers worried? Furthermore, they would become heroes with extraordinary achievements once the project proposed by Tang Xiu was completed and the Flying Disk could be used by people from all walks of life. Although it would not fall on the historical record, they could still earn a reputation for a lifetime.
"I'm very happy that everyone will be joining this project," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “I recently purchased a plot of land in Shanghai that is currently designated as a large industrial park. There will also be laboratories to research and develop other products for the Magnificent Tang Corporation. At that time, I will separate the independent areas to build a new research institute. It is up to you to decide how to organize your family at that time, but I give you my word that the Magnificent Tang Corporation will treat you well and provide funds for you. In the next year, perhaps, you will still be using this place, but I will secretly assign a group of security forces who will be responsible for the safety and security of this place. At the same time, I will also set up a service department to provide your daily living needs or materials needed for research. They will meet your needs as much as possible. ”
"Great!" Other than saying that, Mo Yi and the dozens of researchers were nothing more to say at this moment. What Tang Xiu planned for them was already very thorough and well thought out. Their new boss gave them a genuine sense of belonging and recognition.
Afterwards, Tang Xiu had an open discussion with them for a long time to discuss all the issues openly, leaving everyone satisfied. Afterwards, Mo Yi and the experts as well as professors from the research institute took Tang Xiu to the underground third floor to visit their true laboratory.
Tang Xiu saw many high-tech instruments in the laboratory. He is familiar with high-tech products, but he does not know at all about these high-tech instruments. After Mo Yi's explanation, Tang Xiu realized that "science and technology" were also magically mysterious, as its existence had and would produce new things through a combination of physics and chemistry.
"Does doing scientific research pose a danger?" Tang Xiu asked after visiting her.
"Doing research, especially on some high-tech product research like our previous thermal weapons research, how could it be harmless?" Mo Yi said rhetorically with a wry smile. “We have been working for Yuan Zhengxuan for over ten years, and three of our colleagues died in accidents, while six others were injured and had to leave. Just five or six months ago one of our colleagues was electrocuted by high-voltage electricity. But baby ... This is our job! How can we have such a rare contact with an electric current? And who can say that we would be so lucky to survive after being exposed to such an electric current, to begin with? ”
