Chapter 954 Test everyone's talents
Soon, the food and wine were served.
Wang Mengqi stayed to pour wine to show respect to Zhou Jinhai and others.
After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, it's time to talk about business.
Yang Chen smiled and asked: "I've always had a question, I hope Mr. Zhou can answer it for me. That is, many sci-fi movies have the concept of nuclear fusion, why can't we research it in reality?"
These people are all people with very high IQs, of course they can hear what Yang Chen meant, this is the time to start assessing their personal abilities.
Whether they can be favored by Yang Chen, and whether they can enjoy the 100 billion research funds depends on their performance.
Zhou Jinhai hurriedly replied seriously: "The theoretical preparations for nuclear fusion have been very sufficient. The biggest problem now is that we can't find a suitable container to store the heat required for nuclear fusion and the energy generated. Theoretically, we need to find a method that can Materials that can withstand high temperatures of 100 million degrees are used as containers, and then higher-level research can be carried out. But so far, we have not found any material that can withstand high temperatures of 100 million degrees. After more than 20 years of research, we have found that the real It is impossible to find materials that can accommodate 100 million degrees of high temperature for existing materials. In recent years, everyone has changed their research ideas and is no longer limited to the study of materials in the general sense. For example, we can use magnetic fields to confine these energies, There is no need to look for materials, just make some alloy material to make the surface container, and then use the magnetic field in the container for energy confinement.”
To put it bluntly, Zhou Jinhai's research direction is still the traditional concept of thermonuclear reaction, which uses high temperature to "ignite" neutrons to fuse them into helium, thereby producing huge power.
This is also the research direction most likely to be successful in the theoretical knowledge currently mastered by mankind.
Yang Chen asked again: "Then why do you keep staring at high-temperature nuclear fusion research?
Instead of trying normal temperature, or low temperature? Isn't this theoretically possible? "
Zhou Jinhai continued to reply: "Theoretically, only thermonuclear reaction can be successful, which is impossible at room temperature and low temperature. Let's take water as an example. Can you make water at room temperature evaporate or decompose quickly? No! But if you give water High temperature heating, will it dry soon? Let's put it another way, does that mean that as long as the water is provided with high temperature heat, it will volatilize or decompose? Let's say it the other way around, you want the water to volatilize or decompose quickly , What should I do? Heat it at high temperature. If it’s just at normal temperature, excluding the aftereffects, a glass of water can survive for thousands of years. If it’s in a frozen state, as long as a piece of ice is at sub-zero temperature, it can exist forever. Right? Therefore, it is impossible to achieve nuclear fusion at room temperature or low temperature, and only by heating at high temperature to give it enough energy can hydrogen atoms fuse into helium atoms, accompanied by a huge energy release."
Yang Chen nodded, and then he asked Zhou Yuhua: "Then Miss Zhou thinks there is a need for research on nuclear fusion at room temperature?"
Zhou Yuhua became nervous and kept rubbing his clothes with his fingers.
Liu Yu next to her quickly held her hand and gave her a firm look.
There is no way, Yang Chen used 100 billion funds to play, he must make sure that these players are capable of playing with 100 billion.
The basic interview process cannot be omitted, and the question must be asked.
Yang Chen didn't expect Zhou Yuhua to come up with any shocking theories, he just wanted to hear her personal opinion.
Any theory can be tried before the final research results are obtained.
Zhou Yuhua breathed a sigh of relief, and replied with a smile: "For me, I am just a newcomer, and I have not yet reached the height of being able to propose a theory. Therefore, I will follow the research route of the predecessors and go through them completely. Things that have been researched. If I am lucky enough to discover something that they did not discover, and successfully research the results, that would be the best. If it turns out that this direction is wrong, or if the research results are really not possible, then I will definitely turn around Study nuclear fusion reaction at room temperature. When a road is doomed to fail, even if the other road seems to be dead, then I have to try. Maybe this new road is just covered with a veil, I just need to put the gauze Can it work if I tear it off? If I don’t leave, I will always be blocked by that layer of yarn. Therefore, I think there is a need for research on nuclear fusion at room temperature, but I have to wait for the thermonuclear reaction to be confirmed. It is impossible to study nuclear fusion at room temperature.”
Personal opinions can only be divided into high and low, there is no right or wrong.
Although Zhou Yuhua is 31 years old, as a researcher, she is indeed a rookie.
After graduating from university, she has to do a combined master's and doctoral degree. She really has just started working for less than two years.
Isn't this a newcomer?
Yang Chen was very satisfied with Zhou Yuhua's answer, and said: "Miss Zhou is right, all roads are impassable, even if the last remaining road seems to be impassable on the surface, we should give it a try, instead of the first iron You have to hit other roads that don’t work.”
Hearing Yang Chen's praise, Zhou Yuhua smiled happily, and the others were also relieved.
The happiest one is of course Zhou Jinhai, after all Zhou Yuhua is his own daughter.
Yang Chen tested the entire team in one breath, and was quite satisfied with their abilities.
As long as they can jump in as a whole and equip them with equipment, they can immediately invest in research.
Yang Chen only needs to give them some guidance and hints at the right time, and then they will be able to research the controllable nuclear fusion at room temperature.
Zhou Jinhai said very proudly: "Boss Yang doesn't need to doubt our business capabilities. I can assure you that no one in my team is idle."
"Haha... I believe in everyone's ability. Then when will you be able to jump over?" Yang Chen asked.
Zhou Jinhai: "Next month. We need to hand over the work we are doing to other departments, and give the Institute some time to recruit new researchers to accept this project. After all, a lot of money has been spent, and this project must not be stopped."
Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and said: "It can be seen that Mr. Zhou is a very well-mannered person. My thinking is this, the project in your hand has been studied for a long time, it would be a pity if it was suddenly thrown away. Otherwise, , Mr. Zhou recommended me to meet and chat with the person in charge of your research institute. I bought all the ownership of this project, patent rights, etc., oh, and all the equipment in your laboratory. In this way, you just change jobs The environment, everything else remains the same, and your research work will not be delayed. How does Mr. Zhou feel about it?"
If it's really a big boss, it's not enough to poach people, but also to poach the first phase of their projects.
Zhou Jinhai nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course it's fine. It's just that Boss Yang will definitely spend a lot of money in this way."
"Haha... I was willing to invest 100 billion in the early stage. Are you still afraid of spending money? If you can use the results of your previous research with money, I think it is very worthwhile." Yang Chen replied.
Everyone nodded approvingly.
It would be great if they met such a cheap and reasonable boss earlier.
They even feel that they have researched the results.
"Okay! Then it's settled. I'll talk to director Li of the research institute tomorrow, and then arrange for you to meet." Zhou Jinhai said.
Yang Chen laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Okay! Let's make a deal like this. Come on, everyone, I'll toast you all! I hope we can cooperate smoothly, develop nuclear fusion as soon as possible, and change the world!"
