Chapter 954 Test everyone's talents

Soon, the food and drinks were ready.

Wang Mengqi stayed and poured wine to show respect for Zhou Jinhai and others.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it's time to get down to business.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, "I have always had a question, and I hope Mr. Zhou can answer it for me. Many science fiction movies have the concept of nuclear fusion, why can't we study it in reality?"

These gangs are all people with high IQs, of course they can hear what Yang Chen means, this is about 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 quickly replied seriously: "The theoretical preparation for nuclear fusion is very sufficient. The biggest problem now is to find a suitable container to store the heat required for nuclear fusion and the energy generated. In theory, we need to find a way to Materials that can withstand a high temperature of 100 million degrees can be used as containers, and then higher-level research can be carried out. But so far, we have not found any material that can withstand a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees. After more than 20 years of research, we have found that the real It is impossible for existing materials to find materials that can hold a high temperature of 100 million degrees. In recent years, everyone has changed their research ideas and is no longer limited to studying materials in the general sense. For example, we can use magnetic fields to constrain these energies, There is no need to look for materials, just get a little alloy material to make a surface container, and then use the magnetic field in the container for energy binding."

To put it bluntly, Zhou Jinhai's research direction is still the traditional concept of thermonuclear reaction, using high temperature to "ignite" neutrons for fusion into helium, thereby generating huge capabilities.

This is also the most likely successful research direction in the theoretical knowledge currently mastered by human beings.

Yang Chen asked again: "Then why do you keep staring at high-temperature nuclear fusion research, but don't try normal temperature or low temperature? Is this theoretically impossible?"

Zhou Jinhai continued to reply: "Theoretically, only thermonuclear reactions can succeed, and it is impossible at room temperature and low temperature. Let's take water as an example. Can you make water at room temperature volatilize or decompose quickly? No! But if you give water High temperature heating, will it dry up soon? Let’s put it another way, does that mean that as long as high temperature heat is provided to the water, it will volatilize or decompose? , What should I do? Heat it at high temperature. If it is only at room temperature, excluding subsequent effects, a glass of water can exist for thousands of years. If it is in a frozen state, as long as a piece of ice is at a temperature below zero, it can exist forever. Right? Therefore, it is impossible to achieve nuclear fusion at room temperature or low temperature. Only when high temperature heating gives it enough energy, hydrogen atoms can fuse into helium atoms, with a huge release of energy."

Yang Chen nodded, and then he asked Zhou Yuhua, "Does Miss Zhou feel that research on nuclear fusion at room temperature is necessary?"

Zhou Yuhua became nervous, rubbing her clothes with her fingers.

Liu Yu next to her quickly took her hand and gave her a firm look.

There is no way, Yang Chen used 100 billion funds to play, and he has to make sure that these players have the ability to play the 100 billion.

The basic interview process cannot be omitted, and you have to ask if you need to.

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 without final research.

Zhou Yuhua let out a sigh of relief and replied with a smile: "For me, I'm just a newcomer, and I haven't reached the level where I can come up with a theory. Therefore, I will follow the research route of the predecessors and walk through them completely. Things that have been researched. If I am lucky enough to find something they didn't find and succeed in researching the results, of course that's the best. If it turns out that this direction is wrong, or the research can't be fruitful, then I will definitely turn my head Study the nuclear fusion reaction at room temperature. When one road is doomed, even if the other road seems to be impossible, then I have to try it. Maybe this new road is just covered with gauze, I just need to put the gauze Will it work if I tear it off? If I don’t go, I will always be blocked by that layer of veil. Therefore, I think it is necessary to study nuclear fusion at room temperature, but it must wait for the thermonuclear reaction to go away. Only those who are unreasonable can study nuclear fusion at room temperature.”

Personal opinion is only high and low, there is no right or wrong.

Although Zhou Yuhua is 31 years old, as a researcher, she is still a newcomer.

After graduating from university and wanting to continue her master's and doctoral studies, she really just started working for less than two years.

This is not the newcomer.

Yang Chen was very satisfied with Zhou Yuhua's answer, and said, "Ms. Zhou is right, all the roads can't be reached, even if the last road seems to be impossible on the surface, we should give it a try instead of being a jerk. You have to hit other roads that don't work."

Hearing Yang Chen's praise, Zhou Yuhua smiled happily, and the others also felt relieved.

The happiest is of course Zhou Jinhai, after all Zhou Yuhua is his daughter.

Yang Chen tested the entire team in one breath, and was quite satisfied with their abilities.

As long as they can switch jobs as a whole, and equip them with equipment, they can immediately start researching.

Yang Chen only needs to give them some guidance and hints at the right time, and he can let them research normal temperature controllable nuclear fusion.

Zhou Jinhai said very proudly: "Boss Yang doesn't have to doubt our business ability. I can assure you that no one in my team is idle."

"Haha... I believe in everyone's abilities. Then when will you be able to change jobs?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhou Jinhai: "Next month. Our work needs to be handed over to other departments, and we also 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 disciplined person. My thinking is this, the project in your hands has been studied for a long time, it would be a pity if you suddenly throw it away. Otherwise , Mr. Zhou introduced me to meet and chat with the person in charge of your research institute. I bought all the ownership, patent rights, etc. of this project, oh, and all the equipment of your laboratory. In this way, you are just changing jobs The environment, everything else remains the same, it will not delay your research work. How do you feel about Mr. Zhou?"

It's really a big boss, it's not enough to poach people, but also to dig up the first phase of other people's projects.

Zhou Jinhai nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course it's ok. But this way, Boss Yang will definitely spend a lot of money."

"Haha... I was willing to invest 100 billion yuan in the early days. Are you afraid of spending money? If you spend money, you can use the results of your previous research. I think it is very worthwhile. "Yang Chen replied. .

Everyone nodded approvingly.

It would be great if they had met such a decent and sensible boss earlier.

They even feel that they have already researched the results.

"Okay! It's settled then, I'll go talk to Director Li of the institute tomorrow, and arrange for you to meet." Zhou Jinhai said.

Yang Chen laughed loudly, raised his glass, and said, "Okay! Let's settle it like that. Come on, everyone, I'll give you a toast! I wish us a smooth cooperation, to research nuclear fusion as soon as possible, and change the world!"
