Chapter 1865 Don't Cheat the Boss (Part 2)

After all, Adams is a university professor. Although he doesn't teach economics, he can still figure out such a simple truth. Whether the project of the Large Magellan Telescope is funded by the state or a cooperation between several schools and observatories, there are still investors. As long as someone invests, those investors will not think about raising costs, even if it is an academic project. Same.

Who doesn't want to do more with less? You can't save money, but saving time also reduces costs. It took Guo Tailai two years to make a mirror that took them eight years to complete. For investors, Guo Tailai is God. Not to mention those academics, are they really willing to wait 50 or 60 years for the seven mirrors to be completed? If that's the case, maybe you won't be able to use this telescope even after entering the coffin.

Wanting to understand this, Adams was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the phone that was still ringing in his hand. He just thought about it and was unwilling to find trouble, but he didn't think about the investor's mentality, he didn't think about the problem from the investor's point of view, and he was in big trouble.

"Hi, I'm Adams!" Adams just said this after picking up the phone, when he heard the roar of the familiar boss' voice on the other end.

All kinds of exchanges on the phone are not spoken, but it is very simple to combine thousands of words into one sentence in the end.

"you are fired!"

Just a few words, concise and to the point, yet so clearly expressed.

Putting down the phone, Adams' eyes seemed to lose focus. This call came from Harvard University. If he was just kicked out of the Large Magellan Telescope project team, it would not be a big deal. He is still a professor at Harvard, so he should do whatever he wants. However, the meaning on the phone was that Harvard University fired him, and he would no longer be a professor at Harvard.

I just made things difficult for Mr. T, and I haven't made a final conclusion yet, why did the school fire me?

What is even more incomprehensible is that Guo Tailai had no contact with the outside world, and the three companions had no contact with the outside world either. How did Harvard know the situation on his side?

"Oh, I forgot to remind you." Guo Tailai seemed to see Adams' doubts, and explained with a smile: "In my studio, there is a set of the most advanced satellite video dialogue system. When I polish the mirror, I often talk to some Friends were video chatting. Today they are very curious and want to see the acceptance status of this big mirror, so I have been turning on the video system to broadcast live to them, but the screen and sound are turned off here.”

I see! No wonder no one said anything, Harvard knew about the situation here? Although George was also criticizing, his attitude was business-like. Looking at Professor Adams' distraught state, George was covered in cold sweat at the moment. Fortunately, he didn't say much, and it really came from his mouth!

However, Mr. George still couldn't understand, even if someone was watching, he wouldn't be able to react so quickly, right? Could it be that someone in the video saw the live broadcast of the president of Harvard and knew the situation here? Immediately called?

However, no matter how much Mr. George and Adams did not understand, Guo Tailai would not explain. He can still boast that there are a bunch of boring guys watching videos over there, and many of them are patrons and donors of Harvard University and the University of Chicago? Can someone like Bill Paul chat with the president of Harvard University directly? This guy Adams also hit the gun today, who is wrong to offend, Guo Tailai?

Now that it had nothing to do with the project, Mr. Adams was immediately taken out of the studio. He had to figure out how to go back. Of the remaining three people, two originally supported Guo Tailai, and George was the only one who opposed it. He didn't dare to make things difficult.

The measurement in the studio was not a big problem, and then the huge project began to move the whole mirror out and install it on the test tower. This work alone will take three days, and this is also because the test tower is next to the studio.

This is the first test for Guo Tailai from the beginning to now, and he has enough confidence to make the accuracy high. In the United States, a lot of time had to be spent moving between the test tower and the processing workshop, and repeated measurements between the two places. This alone took at least half of the time. And this kind of high-precision lens, if it is moved once more, the impact on the accuracy will be one more time, and it will take more time to adjust and calibrate all kinds of lenses.

During the period of installation and commissioning of the test tower, Guo Tailai finally had time to receive Professor Wang and Teacher Cao.

Professor Wang has a long-standing teacher-student relationship, and has cooperated many times, so he does not need special attention from Guo Tailai. He is already familiar with the way and led the team to review the design principles and papers of Guo Tailai's large-format high-precision grinding machine. Now, just waiting for those foreign testers to leave, you can go to another processing workshop of the studio for actual testing.

Mr. Cao is also an old acquaintance. He just started working together this year. He helped Guo Tailai find some information and discussed many ideas about gas turbines with Guo Tailai. But this time, he came here not for cooperation, and he was just an introducer, introducing two guests to Guo Tailai. The relationship between old friends cannot be shirked, so I kept apologizing for it.

Although they are all teachers of the school, Guo Tailai received them separately, and the two groups did not go together.

"Hello, Mr. Guo, I am a colonel from a certain department of the Navy, and my surname is Shen." Although the soldier was wearing casual clothes, he did not conceal his military status, and he readily announced his identity during the meal.

Another intellectual who wore glasses also reported his family background. As Guo Tailai expected, he was a researcher at a research institute named after a certain number, and his surname was Qi.

Although both of them reported their identities, they never expressed their intention to come. Maybe they felt that the request was too much and they couldn't open their mouths.

"The two of you are here for MT30, right?" Of course Guo Tailai knew their purpose. At first he thought that if he didn't go to the shipyard and not meet each other, he would leave everything to General Chu. It's here. Always wanted to speak, Guo Tailai simply cut to the chase and said it himself.

Speaking of which, it was the second time for the two to meet Guo Tailai. They didn't know each other before, and they wanted the equipment bought by others for hundreds of millions of RMB, so they really couldn't open their mouths. But the temptation of MT30 is too great, I can't let go, and it is very likely that this shop will disappear after passing this village, so I bite the bullet and searched for acquaintances to find the right owner. Now that Guo Tailai took the initiative to mention MT30, the two no longer hesitated, and nodded directly.

"Then what do we think?" Guo Tailai didn't underestimate the two because of the other party's abruptness. They are still the kind of people who care about the country, so there is no change in their attitude. They just asked calmly: "Is there any What regulations? And Luo Luo's restrictions, how did you consider them?"

Since you can't avoid it, let's face it!
