Upon hearing Ye Chen's achievements, everyone in the conference room was immediately shocked.
Each of these technologies is worth a lifetime of research!
Are young people these days really this amazing?
When they were 24, they were probably still studying in an ivory tower, right?
The most skilled ones are just helping out the teacher!
Hua Guoqing looked around and chuckled to himself.
These old buddies usually don't give way to each other, and they have an inherent arrogance about them, but today they were all shocked one after another.
After all the discussions had been completed, Hua Guoqing directly announced the end of the meeting.
"Meeting adjourned. Everyone must maintain confidentiality during today's meeting. Mr. Liu, Mr. Lin, please stay behind for a moment."
Seeing Liu Bangguo and Lin Zhenguo get up to leave, Hua Guoqing quickly stopped them and said, "How about we go to Jiangcheng tomorrow to invite Ye Chen to be the chief engineer of the project? Old Lin, you are familiar with Ye Chen, so talk to him in advance."
Lin Zhenguo nodded and said, "Okay, Dean, I'll call him in a bit."
Liu Bangguo nodded and said with a smile, "I have no objection either. I've been wanting to meet this young man. Such a genius should be brought to the Chinese Academy of Sciences as soon as possible."
Lin Zhenguo said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid he won't want to come. I invited him to join the Chinese Academy of Sciences last time in Jiangcheng, but he refused."
Liu Bangguo's expression froze for a moment, then he said, "Old Lin, have you been treating him too poorly? If you ask me, stop being so stingy. This kind of genius should be treated exceptionally!"
Lin Zhenguo shook his head and added, "Old Liu, you've wronged me. I promised to build a research team for that kid on his own."
"He's unwilling to join even with the conditions of forming a separate research team? Why?" Liu Bangguo raised an eyebrow and asked in astonishment.
"He said he didn't want to be restricted," Lin Zhenguo said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bangguo's face darkened, and he said with great distress, "What kind of reason is this! I will personally go and persuade him tomorrow. It is a waste of talent for such a genius not to be used by the country!"
Hua Guoqing quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Mr. Liu, please calm down. Any achievements made within China's borders are contributions to the country."
Liu Bangguo's expression softened slightly. He made up his mind that he must persuade Ye Chen to join the Chinese Academy of Sciences after their meeting tomorrow. With the support of the country, Ye Chen would surely achieve more in his scientific research.
After everyone had left, Hua Guoqing returned to his office, picked up a red phone, and dialed the number.
As soon as the call connected, Hua Guoqing said, "Transfer to the top leader, I have something important to report."
A moment later, the voice of the top leader came through the phone: "Old Hua, what's the matter that you're calling so late?"
Hua Guoqing said with a serious expression, "Sir, there's progress on the controlled nuclear fusion reactor."
"Really?" The voice on the other end of the phone was also somewhat shocked.
Hua Guoqing dared not delay and quickly recounted what had happened that day.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice said, "I understand what Mr. Hua meant by calling. I have approved the nuclear fusion reactor project. In addition, I will notify the internal affairs department to take charge of security. I will meet all your requests."
"Thank you, sir!" Hua Guoqing said.
"Remember, such geniuses must be protected. The story of Zhong Yong's tragic decline must not be repeated!" the top leader instructed.
"Please rest assured!"
Yunmengxuan, 10 PM.
Ye Chen, alone, is browsing the internet with the help of Zhi Zi.
The hottest topic on the internet these past two days has been the laser destroying satellite incident, which has been hyped up by various people with ulterior motives.
The Chinese military's statement during the day brought this topic to a head.
"The Chinese military claims it was an accidental firing? That's ridiculous. Are we all idiots?"
"The Chinese military has disrupted peace in outer space and must be condemned!"
"Heh, the person upstairs is naive. The US has caused far more damage, so why haven't you condemned them?"
"China is definitely lying. My Great Elephant Country doesn't even have such laser weapons!"
"In fact, that laser was launched from my country, South Korea."
"I really envy your skin, especially your face skin, it's so thickly skinned!"
......
Ye Chen was watching with great interest when, on a whim, he went up and said a few words.
Just then, the phone next to them suddenly rang, and the screen displayed the name Lin Zhenguo.
Ye Chen quickly picked it up and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Ye Chen, you've given us a really big surprise!"
As soon as the call connected, Lin Zhenguo's hearty laughter came from the other end of the line: "Laser guns, metallic hydrogen batteries, nuclear fusion reactors, how many other good ideas do you have in your head, kid?"
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, you're calling so late, you didn't just call to praise me, did you?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"You brat."
Lin Zhenguo chuckled and scolded, then resumed his normal tone and said, "Let's get down to business. The nuclear fusion reactor technology you provided has attracted great attention from the top leadership of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they are preparing to establish a project team to begin construction."
"That's a good thing." Ye Chen blinked, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
Sure enough, Lin Zhenguo's voice continued: "The senior management of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unanimously decided that you are the most suitable person to serve as the chief engineer of the project team."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head repeatedly and said, "Old Lin, please don't joke around. I'm not suitable. I'm only 24 years old. Others won't accept it."
“You provided the technical solution, so you’re the most suitable person to be the chief engineer. Besides, the project leader is Liu Bangguo, so if you can’t handle something, ask Liu Bangguo to back you up. I’d like to see who dares to object!” Lin Zhenguo continued to persuade him.
Ye Chen protested, "Mr. Lin, please let me go. My company just opened, and I still need to earn money to get married. I don't have time to stay in the project team."
"You...you're going to be the death of me! You wait, we'll come to your door tomorrow for a face-to-face talk," Lin Zhenguo said speechlessly.
Ye Chen was about to decline when he suddenly paused, as if he had remembered something, and said into the phone, "Old Lin, I offered the metal hydrogen battery and nuclear fusion reactor technology, I think my original intention was to exchange it for laboratory equipment. How come I didn't get the equipment, but instead lost it all?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhenguo looked somewhat embarrassed. When he saw the two documents provided by Ye Chen, he was so shocked that he had completely forgotten about Ye Chen's requests.
To cover his embarrassment, he coughed lightly and said, "Compared to nuclear fusion reactor technology, this is a minor matter. Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ye Chen to reply.
Seeing that the call had been disconnected, Ye Chen pursed his lips, quite certain that Old Master Lin had forgotten!
Never mind, I'm not in a rush anyway, I'll talk about it when we meet!
