Chapter 33 Recruiting
After the fusion demonstration reactor started construction, Lu Yongchang's top priority became recruiting people.
After all, there are only a dozen researchers in the Sandaokou University Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
To complete the research tasks of the fusion demonstration reactor, it is definitely not enough to rely on more than a dozen researchers.
For any technology, moving from the laboratory to commercial use means countless difficulties.
This is even more true for large-scale technologies like controllable nuclear fusion!
Although Lu Yongchang has now solved the most critical issue of maintaining controllable nuclear fusion, they still need to solve countless problems if they want to realize the commercial application of controllable nuclear fusion.
For example, the main control program of the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor.
We can't build a demonstration reactor by then and have several researchers monitor various data in the reactor at all times like a laboratory, right?
Another example is the installed capacity of nuclear fusion demonstration reactors.
Although Lu Yongchang has finalized the power generation method of the fusion reactor, they have not made a specific plan.
Therefore, in order to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion, Lu Yongchang needs to at least expand the number of his researchers several times!
…
Beijing University of Science and Technology.
Lu Hezheng returned to his office with a frustrated look.
As a professor of nuclear physics at Beijing University of Science and Technology, his original main research project was the Tokmak device.
After all, two months ago, the Tokmak device was still the mainstream device for achieving controllable nuclear fusion!
But... everything changed after Lu Yongchang wrote those blackboard writings!
Especially after the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University successfully ran controlled nuclear fusion, almost all laboratories studying controllable nuclear fusion in Xia State stopped their projects.
What follows closely is “layoffs”.
Very unfortunate.
Lu Hezheng is a researcher who was “layoff”.
This also led to an extremely embarrassing situation.
Lu He currently does not have any scientific research tasks on his hands.
It would be a joke to say it out loud.
As a professor at Beijing University of Science and Technology, I don’t even have a scientific research task at hand.
Lu Hezheng sighed deeply when he thought of the responses he got from asking about Xia's major nuclear physics laboratories a few days ago.
Because the Canghai Bay Controlled Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor Project has begun construction, all major nuclear physics laboratories in Xia are basically at a standstill.
"Why……"
Lu Hezheng looked at the unchanging scenery outside the window and sighed again.
"Dingle bell!"
A shrill phone ring rang.
Lu Hezheng, who was looking out the window in trance, suddenly trembled.
He suddenly looked back at the landline phone on the desk next to him, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Who else could call him at this time?
Now, except for some university teaching tasks, he is already a complete idler!
Lu Hezheng frowned and walked to the landline, leaning his head to look at the LCD screen of the landline.
A string of numbers I have never seen before.
Lu Hezheng's frown deepened.
Could it be...an MLM call?
That’s not right, MLM calls can’t even get through to this phone number!
While thinking about it, Lu Hezheng reached out and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
A slightly calm male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, are you Professor Lu Hezheng from Beijing University of Science and Technology?"
Lu Hezheng was stunned, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I am, you are..."
"Hello, Professor Lu, I am Lu Yongchang from the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University. Excuse me, were you working as a researcher in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Beijing University of Science and Technology some time ago?"
The moment he heard these words, Lu Hezheng's heart skipped a beat!
Lu Yongchang...
As a professor in the Department of Nuclear Physics, could he not know what this name means? !
This is the chief engineer of the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor!
Lu Hezheng swallowed slightly, a bit of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, I did work as a researcher there some time ago..."
Before he could finish his words, the voice of inquiry rang again on the other end of the phone.
"Professor Lu, there are still some researchers missing at the Canghaiwan Fusion Demonstration Reactor. Are you interested?"
Lu Hezheng's eyes suddenly burst into light!
He nodded vigorously: "Yes! I'm interested!"
Is this not interesting? !
This is a researcher on the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project!
"Okay, Professor Lu, please go to the Beijing Railway Station at 9:30 tomorrow morning. The high-speed rail ticket to Canghai City has been bought for you."
"After arriving in Canghai City, someone will naturally take you to the temporary research institute."
Lu Hezheng hurriedly asked: "Then...Professor Lu, do you need me to provide the identity information to purchase the ticket?"
There was silence on the phone.
After a while, a faint voice came from the microphone: "Don't worry, Professor Lu, the ticket has been purchased. You can check your mobile phone text messages."
After speaking, the phone was hung up before Lu Hezheng could speak.
"bite!"
A text message alert sounded.
Lu Hezheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen lock and checked it.
"Mr. Lu Hezheng, the high-speed train from Beijing to Canghai City will depart on time at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Please bring relevant documents and wait in the waiting hall in advance..."
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Hezheng dragged his suitcase out of Canghai City Railway Station.
Looking at the train station with people coming and going in front of him, Lu Hezheng was confused for a moment.
This...where should he go to find someone?
While Lu He was struggling, a man in military uniform walked up to him.
"Hello, Professor Lu!"
The man saluted him with an extremely standard military salute: "I am Du Zhen, and I have been ordered to pick you up and take you to the temporary research institute!"
In an instant, Lu Hezheng felt countless awed eyes around him looking at him.
"Ahem, no need to salute, no need to salute, then what, I am Lu Hezheng, let's go quickly!" Lu Hezheng said with some embarrassment.
Du Zhen chuckled, reached out and took the suitcase from Lu Hezheng's hand, and walked forward.
…
In just over an hour's drive, Lu Hezheng passed three inspection checkpoints.
He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are the control measures at the demonstration reactor so strict..."
Du Zhen, who was driving, smiled and nodded: "Professor Lu, this is nothing."
"Canghai Bay is now under full martial law. I estimate there is at least one brigade of troops stationed here!"
"and……"
Speaking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on Du Zhen's face: "I heard that Xia State even parked its aircraft carrier fleet near Canghai Bay!"
Lu Hezheng's pupils shrank suddenly and he exclaimed: "Aircraft carrier fleet?!"
"Is this necessary?!"
Du Zhen shrugged while driving: "I don't know, but... the order I received is to send you safely to the temporary research institute at all costs."
"Of course, it's not just you, we have to pick up more than a hundred researchers in total."
