From all-round academic master to chief scientist

"You're welcome."

After regaining consciousness, Lin Xiao calmly replied, "My memory is still very good, especially for someone who insists on giving me 1 million euros."

Hearing Lin Xiao's bland answer, Dawson Edinson suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He even heard Lin Xiao mocking him in turn, which made him even more annoyed.

He had already figured out why Lin Xiao refused for a few times after he proposed a retainer fee of 1 million before finally agreeing.

Thinking about it this way, doesn't it mean that he insists on sending 1 million to others?

This business may not be the biggest loss he has made over the years, but it is definitely the one he will never forget.

It was like a thorn in his heart. Many times when he thought about this incident when he went to bed at night, he would comfort himself that it was only one million, nothing, and then he would open his eyes and scold Lin Xiao until 2:30 in the middle of the night. A few words.

Of course, he wouldn't be able to break through the defense so easily. After all, he was the one who wanted to piss off Lin Xiao.

So he also said with a smile: "You're welcome, it's only 1 million euros. We Asmail still don't care, just like we hired Mr. Shan with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros. It's not worth mentioning."

"In addition, I have to thank Professor Lin for allowing me to discover talents like Mr. Shan. Your X-ray plan is really a talent recommendation plan for us. It is so generous, hahaha!"

Lin Xiao said: "Then you can come and discover it."

"This is what Professor Lin said, so I won't be polite when the time comes."

Lin Xiao said calmly: "When have you ever been polite? Okay, unless you poach everyone, otherwise, don't think it will prevent the success of the X-ray project. What's more, you have only poached everyone so far. You just killed Professor Shan, and you only succeeded because Professor Shan’s son was ill. As for the others, how successful have you been?”

Hearing that Lin Xiao was still acting like this, Dawson Edinson finally couldn't stand it any longer. His tone, which he had pretended to be very proud of, finally calmed down: "Lin, you don't really think that your X-ray plan can succeed, do you? ?

Although Lin Xiao did not deliberately publicize this matter, he did not ask for it to be kept secret, so Lin Xiao was not surprised that Dawson Edinson knew about it.

Then, he even laughed. Just when Dawson Edinson was upset by the laughter and wanted to interrupt Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao said: "Mr. Edinson, I wonder if you have ever heard of such a person?" story."

"what story?"

"President Kennedy of the United States once said that as long as he was alive, China would never be able to build an atomic bomb. Unfortunately, the year after President Kennedy's death, China built an atomic bomb."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, your words still lack a condition." Lin Xiao laughed, "For example, before you gave me 1 million euros, we would never be able to build this thing?"

Mentioned this 1 million euros again!

Dawson Edinson's face became even more gloomy, so that Shan Tianbo and others around him didn't know what made their president so angry.

Dawson suppressed his annoyance and continued to say in a calm voice: "So, you mean that if I give you 1 million euros, you can build this thing?"

"Why not?" Lin Xiao smiled lightly, and then his tone suddenly became serious: "Okay, Mr. Edinson, I won't talk so much nonsense to you."

"Now, I only have one warning for you."

“Don’t ever think that if you can’t do it, China can’t do it either.”

"Remember, if you can do it, we Chinese people may not be able to do it, but if you can't do it, we Chinese people can definitely do it!"

"Well, that's it, Mr. Edinson."

Lin Xiao finished his serious tone and suddenly turned into a smile: "Finally, I still want to thank you for the 1 million euros. If it weren't for this money, it might not be so easy for Qizhi Technology Company under my name to open. Woolen cloth."

"Okay, bye."

Without giving Dawson Edinson a chance to speak, Lin Xiao hung up the phone directly.

And when he heard Lin Xiao mentioning 1 million euros, Dawson Edinson had almost reached the limit of breaking his defense. But just when he was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, he heard a busy signal from the phone. For a moment, he was completely The defense is broken.

"Fake! Mourning of Bichi!"

He immediately threw the phone to the ground, smashing it into pieces.

And this mobile phone belongs to Shan Tianbo.

Shan Tianbo immediately said: "Mr. Edinson, this is my mobile phone!"

However, Dawson Edinson did not apologize. He just looked at Shan Tianbo coldly, said nothing, then walked away and returned to his office.

Seeing the sudden attitude of Dawson Edinson, who had been very polite to him before, Shan Tianbo's face turned blue and white, but in the end he thought of his son and could only silently squat down and pick up the movie. The smashed mobile phone turned around and left, while everyone around him looked at it coldly.

Dawson Edinson, who returned to the office, found his secretary and directly ordered: "Publicize the fact that Shan Tianbo left the Chinese X-ray Project and came to us, so that everyone in the world can You know! Then continue to criticize China’s X-ray plan!”

"In addition..." Thinking of what Lin Xiao said just now, Edinson said: "In addition, what he said just now, we are not good, and if they are good, we should publicize it so that everyone can appreciate it. How do the Chinese people do it? Pompous!"

"Yes, President."

…

Lin Xiao put down her phone, her eyes neither happy nor sad, but still thinking about things.

Letting Dawson Edinson break the defense was just a matter of course. The only useful news for him from this phone call was that Shan Tianbo would not be able to come back. Then, he needed to find someone who could replace Shan Tianbo. Talented.

I don’t know where there are such talents in the country.

Or, does he want to go directly to his own house?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and tried to find someone first. If he couldn't find it, he just spent the truth.

Thinking about it this way, this year probably won't... need to be passed.

If he still needs to do it himself, then the two pieces of research that could have been done in parallel will need to be conducted in series.

That would take more time, and he didn't want to delay it for that long. After all, he had to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in July.

Sighing, he took out his mobile phone and first informed Chen Yuanchun of the incident, asking him to help find someone who could replace Shan Tianbo in this area. Then he called the deputy chief designer Yang Kaiping and informed him of the incident. thing.

When Yang Kaiping heard the news, he seemed shocked. He couldn't help cursing: "Asmail is such a bastard!"

Lin Xiao didn't say much, just asked: "Have you already notified me about the Spring Festival holiday?"

"Already notified."

"Okay, thank you for the hard work."

"I don't work hard, it's you who work hard."

Lin Xiao smiled, said a few more polite words, and hung up the phone.

But he didn't put down his cell phone, but called home.

Soon, the phone was connected, and the expectant voice of mother Yang Rong came over there: "Xiaoxiao, are you coming back soon?"

"..." Lin Xiao apologized: "Mom, I probably won't go home this year."

"Ah?" Yang Rong asked immediately: "What's wrong? Is it about work?"

Lin Xiao replied: "Well, the X-ray project has encountered some difficulties. An expert in a key technology has been poached by a foreigner. I may have to take over that key technology in the future."

"That's it..." Yang Rong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay, the X-ray project is more important. You can go home every year. Your job is to help build the motherland. Do your job well. , Mom is looking forward to you being able to build our Chinese lithography machine."

Since Lin Xiao became the chief designer of the X-ray project, Yang Rong and Lin Guowen both had a special understanding of the lithography machine and the situation that China was in. Therefore, Yang Rong also knew what the lithography machine meant.

Therefore, even though Lin Xiao could not go home for the New Year and she had not seen her son for a year, she could only give her son her support and try not to affect him.

Hearing her mother's words, Lin Xiao responded softly: "Yes."

"Well, it's been below freezing in Shangjing recently, right? Wear thicker clothes so you don't catch a cold, and remember to wear warm pants, otherwise you'll get rheumatism if your knees get cold."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao said softly again.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. I'm already 22 this year, so I don't have to worry about anything else. I just want to bring a girlfriend when I come back next time."

"Don't say it, don't say it, you'll be stupid if you say it again." Lin Xiao said helplessly.

"You brat...forget it, stop talking and take care of yourself."

"Um."

After saying goodbye, Lin Xiao put down the phone.

Wiping his eyes, he suddenly remembered that sentence: The Huns are not extinct, so why should we take care of our family?

Although he didn't want to kill the enemy, in terms of nature, that was probably it, right?

He took out his computer from the suitcase again, put it on the table, turned on the computer, and recalled the scene at home, as well as the fact that he would go to his grandmother's house every New Year to enjoy the rice fields at the door. He turned on the music player and played He listened to Jay Chou's "Daoxiang" on a loop, then glanced at Mimi on the table, reached out and touched its head, and said with emotion: "Mimi, you can spend this year with me." "

Smiling slightly, he then opened the "Electronic Topological Bonding Theory" document again, and then recalled his previous thoughts.

Then, continue with his next steps.

Maybe it was because of the phone call he made to his mother just now, or maybe it was because of some other reason, but he suddenly felt that his thoughts were flowing extremely smoothly.

"By the way! How could we forget QED?!"

"Quantum electrodynamics..."

Lin Xiao's eyes gradually brightened, and the difficulties he encountered before seemed to reveal their most fundamental problems like clouds and mist.

QED, Quantum Electrodynamics, essentially describes all phenomena caused by the interaction of charged particles via the exchange of photons.

And among them, that is to say, it describes the phenomenon process of electromagnetic interaction force.

And isn’t the phenomenon of chemical bonding one of them?

Lin Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he wrote another formula on his scratch paper.

[Sqed=∫d^4x[-(1/4)F^(μν)F_μν+ψ(iγ)]……]

In this way, his draft paper became more and more abundant, and the process of the birth of a great theory began to be interpreted in his hands again.

…

[Shan Tianbo, my country’s dual-workbench technical expert and deputy team leader of the X-ray program, joins Asmail]

[An important expert on the X-ray project has been poached from abroad. Can the X-ray project still succeed? 】

[Is the future of the X-ray program bleak? Important talents resign and go abroad! 】

【……】

The country of China, which was about to usher in the New Year, was filled with joy. However, suddenly, from the far away but very close west, a wave of public opinion spread against the X-ray project.

The Chinese people who had been paying attention to the trends of the X-ray project suddenly couldn't sit still.

A key talent actually became rich at this time?

So, can the X-ray project they have high hopes for succeed? !

Kicked out
