Su Ran looked at the people in front of her. Their hair was thinning, which was caused by excessive brain use in scientific research! She took a half step back and awkwardly reached out to touch the top of her head.
Thank goodness, I'm not bald.
The researchers on the first floor were supposed to be in the lab conducting experiments and waiting for someone to notify them before they came to see the boss, but their experiments were indeed completely unsuccessful.
Upon hearing that the boss was coming, he rushed to greet him. Previously, he had been lazing around working 9 to 6 and having weekends off.
But the lost hair can't be brought back, and despite this, every time I come to the office, I still have to use up a lot of brain cells to maintain my health.
The man in the lead said, "Hello, boss. My name is Kong Cheng, and I'm in charge of lithography machine research."
...
As Su Ran listened to the introduction, she noticed that the main researchers had very little hair left on their heads.
After receiving the young lady's instructions, Su Qingjiu looked at the researchers and said, "Let's go to the conference room first to discuss the direction of our future research."
Upon hearing that last sentence, the researchers on the station were almost moved to tears. Finally, they could discuss research directions! They could fight for the few remaining hairs on their heads.
...
Su Ran sat in the head seat. Only the ten key personnel in charge of the four research projects were present; the rest were in their own laboratories.
"Tell me the latest status of the experiments you are currently conducting."
The ten researchers didn't know what to say. After all, they hadn't produced any research results, but they were working there. What if they were fired for being inactive?
Nowadays, research institutes are already saturated with staff. If they go in, they can only work as assistants; their names won't even appear in the literature.
Kong Chengpo felt a little guilty, "Isn't it almost perfect?"
The entire conference room was silent.
With a cold expression, Su Ran slammed her teacup down on the table, the dull thud echoing throughout the conference room, a few drops of tea spilling from the rim.
"Almost? Does that mean you've figured out all 400,000-plus parts? Do you have a complete industrial system? Have you developed important materials or the most difficult high-precision machine tools? Do you know how long China has been working on lithography machines?"
"You still think you can create a room-temperature superconductor? If you can create this, even Einstein would be up and give you a thumbs up. If you do, you'll be the talents who drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution."
"Or have you reached the threshold of controlled nuclear fusion?"
"You think that nuclear fusion and solar energy are the same, both using hydrogen as a raw material, and hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe."
"What is the actual situation? Among the isotopes of hydrogen, protium is the most abundant, accounting for 99.98%, while the content of deuterium is very small, about 0.02% in nature. Tritium, on the other hand, has a half-life of 12 and does not easily exist in nature for a long time, so the content of tritium can be ignored."
"However, deuterium and tritium are mainly used in the fusion reaction equation, and superheavy hydrogen can be produced by bombarding lithium-6 with neutrons."
"But do you know the price?"
Su Ran looked around, and everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Then she continued, "Making 1 kg of tritium (superheavy hydrogen) can easily cost hundreds of millions of US dollars."
The people in the meeting room remained silent, leaving Su Ran speechless. She wasn't mocking them with what she said; she was simply hoping they would speak the truth, not be ambiguous.
"In scientific research, I only hope that you are realistic. I know that the tasks your previous bosses gave you were unattainable. I came to the company to help you build a ladder, not to directly reach for the moon."
Kong Cheng looked at the boss at the head of the table. His first words weren't about being happy about the change of research opportunities, but rather about being shocked that his boss could use such professional terminology. He stammered, "Boss... you also do scientific research?"
"I won't do it, I don't understand it, don't ask." Su Ran gave a triple denial.
"Send your research directions to Su Qingjiu, and he will make the final decision on your research direction. Don't send over anything that's just wishful thinking."
Kong Cheng, representing the researchers, naturally nodded in agreement, "Okay, boss, but I don't know about the salary these days."
Kong Cheng felt a little embarrassed as he spoke, looking at the young boss and feeling ashamed to ask a junior for money.
Su Ran didn't think much of it. Working for her would definitely be rewarded. "Su Qingjiu will communicate with you about the salary later. There will be rewards for your achievements, and they won't be low. It just depends on who can earn this money from me."
...
After the meeting, Su Ran took Su Qingjiu to the office, which used to be the person in charge's office, but the person had resigned when the boss changed, so it was a good place for her to rest.
"Miss, what are your requirements regarding their research direction?"
Su Ran shook her head. "These people aren't qualified. Only a few of them have published SCI papers. Before joining the company, they didn't hold high positions in other companies either. Are we just going to pay them to do research and let them play around?"
After reviewing the information of several people, Su Ran truly admired the former boss. To think that he could make big moves with so little money was just wishful thinking.
Su Qingjiu nodded in agreement, "Then should we fire them?"
Su Ran paused for a moment, "For now, let them focus on research in artificial intelligence, weeding out the bad and keeping the good."
"Understood, Miss." Su Qingjiu seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Would you like to do some research, Miss? I'll have someone set aside a laboratory here."
Su Qingjiu thought of what the young lady had said in the conference room and Kong Cheng's doubts, even though what she said was nothing new on his planet.
Su Ran hesitated for a moment, feeling a little tempted, especially after the second evolution of her brain.
But the thought of the few hairs left on the heads of these researchers made me temporarily give up on the idea.
She can't afford such extravagant wealth for the time being.
"No need, I'm not interested. I just want to eat, drink, and have fun. These professional things should be left to professionals, not for someone like her, who studied finance, to do research."
Su Qingjiu was puzzled. He could see that the young lady was moved, but her words were too different from her true feelings. For a moment, he wondered if she had misjudged him.
But one lab was left untouched, since there were quite a few empty labs, and leaving one for the young lady wouldn't prevent others from conducting experiments.
Su Ran was unaware of Su Qingjiu's thoughts as she flipped through the documents, her mind wandering.
Ah, her.
I only hope that China will continue to prosper and flourish.
...
After reading the document, Su Ran put it aside. "Qingjiu, I'm leaving the company's affairs to you."
Su Qingjiu nodded, tidied up the documents, and Su Ran got up and left after speaking. It was already dark outside.
Su Ran looked at the night sky and reached out to touch it, but could only feel the breeze. The total mass of the things she could see and touch was only five percent of the entire universe.
The rest are hidden quietly in the surroundings; they are dark matter and dark energy.
Everyone is embraced by this dark matter and dark energy, which constitute the world as we know it today.
...
go home.
