From small town academic to chief scientist

Having said this, Zhou Yi also knew that Mr. Yang was already interested.

As for whether to introduce high-level foreign scientists, Zhou Yi had his own ideas.

When the time comes, Peony controls the entire core hub, and their every move will be under surveillance.

It must be impossible to escape Zhou Yi's eyes.

Moreover, many technologies are completely dependent on one person. When the time comes, they will most likely rely on Zhou Yi alone.

So Zhou Yi has enough confidence to control them.

Zhouyi said:

"Whether it is possible to introduce foreign scientists or not, I think it is still necessary. Bill Carr and the Yau Shing-Tung Mathematical Science Center founded by Teacher Qiu are good examples.

I am absolutely sure that I have mastered the key techniques. "

When Zhou Yi said this, his bright eyes were full of confidence.

“Having tens of thousands of top scientists from around the world at my disposal must be a big help, and foreigners from countries like Chou and CERN account for the vast majority.

As long as we control the technical issues, there will be no outflow. There are only things that the people above need to consider. Why should we consider so much?

The core technology is in their hands and they are responsible for not leaking it out. "

Zhou Yi's words made it hard for Yang Zhenning to say anything. The technological revolution brought about by tens of thousands of top-notch smart heads must be earth-shattering.

Mr. Yang said:

"That's it. I will give you a definite reply within three days."

Zhouyi said:

"I hope Mr. Yang will support it, because if I don't support it, I will do it myself. At worst, I will discuss it with the Yuzhou government."

Zhou Yi said with a decisive tone.

I came to inform Yang Zhenning to give him face, otherwise Zhou Yi would never have said so much to him.

Principal Qiu looked at the two of them in confusion, but he was already tense again.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yi said very politely:

"Excuse me for disturbing Mr. Yang, I'll take my leave now."

Mr. Yang was not angry, but said with a smile:

"good."

After walking out of the room, Zhou Yi walked very quickly, followed closely by Principal Qiu.

"Professor Zhou, it's not me who said that, your tone just now was too..."

Zhouyi said:

"I just gave them a signal. If I didn't show my determination, they would just be joking.

After all, I am too young, only twenty years old. "

The security personnel on the side were stunned, what the hell, twenty-year-old Shuimu University professor, have we not had contact with the outside world for too long?

It seems that after changing defense today, I have to go back and get a better understanding of this Zhou Yi.

Principal Qiu also smiled bitterly and said:

"Indeed, I believe there will be a good ending. I still have a half-finished meeting that I need to go back to, do you think?"

When Zhou Yi heard this, he said with some embarrassment:

"I'm disturbing Principal Qiu today, so go ahead and do your work first."

After a while, Zhou Yi returned to Mr. Qiu's office.

Qiu Chengtong said calmly:

"What should I say? Does Old Man Yang think I tricked you into building it?"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at his teacher. It seemed that he had known about it for a long time.

"Ang, yes, that's what Mr. Yang thinks. But I told him that I will pay for the repairs myself. In addition, I also made a big move. The revolution of artificial intelligence will definitely be led by me. He was moved. Three The Queen of Heaven will give a positive reply.”

Qiu Chengtong said with a smile:

"Okay, let's wait for the result. Even if Old Man Yang doesn't agree, I will help you. I think the current situation cannot be conservative.

And as long as you are here, I believe in you. "

When Zhou Yi heard this, his heart warmed up. If his teachers didn't support him, it would be really difficult to build the Large Hadron Collider.

It is difficult to rely solely on Wang Yifang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After Zhou Yi talked with Qiu Chengtong for a while, he said:

"Teacher Qiu, let me first ask Liu Qingfeng how the situation is over there and how much money I have now."

Mr. Qiu said:

"Okay, go ahead and go ahead. I'll also call some of my old friends and ask them around the corner if they can still buy the equipment now."

Not long after, Zhou Yi left Qiu Chengtong's office and returned to his own office.

He took out a mobile phone and gave Liu Qingfeng a call.

We have been talking for more than half a month, and there should be results.

Almost instantly, Liu Qingfeng answered Zhou Yi's phone.

"Hey, Zhou Shen, have you finally remembered to call me?"

Zhouyi said:

"I would like to ask how your negotiations with other mobile phone brands are going."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"We are still talking about it, and the results will be available in the next day or two."

Zhouyi said:

"Then you and Tian Yiguang both come to my office? I want to know the details. I'm a little short of money now."

Liu Qingfeng said on the other end of the phone:

"Okay, I happen to have time now."

Half an hour later, Liu Qingfeng and Tian Yiguang arrived next door to Zhou Yi's office.

Zhou Yi made tea and watched the two people arrive, still sweating on his head, and said:

"Sit down and talk slowly. Let's have a sip of tea first."

Tian Yiguang looked at the current Zhou Yi and couldn't help but feel as if he was in a dream.

When he was told by Liu Qingfeng to help Zhou Yi take care of various affairs, he still didn't believe it.

From the initial anxiety and uneasiness,

By now, Tian Yiguang has sorted out his mentality.

There is a hint of a professional elite.

At the beginning, Tian Yiguang just wanted to invest in a potential boss, but he did not expect to invest in a top immortal.

The most dazzling existence in the entire mathematical world.

Even the world of physics next door has a place.

Seeing that the two of them had almost rested, Zhou Yi said:

“Let’s talk about the results of the cooperation first.”

At the beginning, Zhou Yi disdained the European Nuclear Research Center, but now it has been established.

It's just hitting a brick wall at every turn.

The money issue alone is a huge problem.

The estimate of 300 billion yuan would be more than 40 billion yuan if converted to magnesium gold.

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Because many mobile phone brands have joined, from the initial 35% net profit, we have talked about 40%, and each company also needs to pay different amounts of cash.

Apple has 10 billion, Warwick has 10 billion,

Samsung and Nokia are also worth 10 billion, while the remaining mobile phone brands such as Oppo and Xiaomi will be less due to their size.

But there will also be a wave of blood.

In addition, the service life is one year. If they develop it themselves after one year, it will be solved. If they cannot develop it, we will increase the price then.

Because once users find that they can’t use it, it is likely to affect mobile phone sales in the second year.

There are pros and cons for us. "

Zhou Yi pondered for a while and said:

"Are most of the mobile phone brands included?"

Liu Qingfeng said:

"There are also some who have not participated, but after the official version is released, they will come to us and beg us."

Zhouyi said:

"Okay. Then you will be solely responsible. How are the sales of smart home appliances now?"

Liu Qingfeng said:

"The sales are going well. It has only been sold for more than 20 days, and the net profit has reached nearly 30 billion. And the sales are still increasing by an extremely terrifying figure every day."

Zhouyi said:

"Well, okay, how much money do I have now."

Zhou Yi looked at Tian Yiguang as he spoke.

Tian Yiguang said:

"Now it's about 6.5 billion after tax. When the specific contract is signed, the first batch of payment can reach 20 billion after tax."

This amount of money is the deposit, 10 billion for large companies, 5 to 6 billion for smaller companies, etc.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"How many billions is the expected annual revenue from mobile phones?"

Tian Yiguang said:

"An extremely scary number, more than 300 billion after tax, and the specific number may be more than 350 billion.

Mobile phone brands such as Apple, Warwick, and Samsung provide extremely scary figures, as well as smart home appliances. "

Zhouyi:? ? ? .

Fifty billion magnesium gold is simply an astronomical number.

"Why so many?"

Zhou Yi asked with a shocked look on his face.

Tian Yiguang paused and said:

“Because our software is sold to global mobile phone brands, and global mobile phone brands occupy the global market, plus we share 40% of the profit.

Then with Mr. Liu and Professor Chen’s share, we still have 20% of the total share.

That's why it's so high. This is after tax. If it weren't after tax, our income would be higher.

But maybe in two or three years, when the voice system is developed by themselves, our profits will not be that high and will shrink significantly.

If smart home appliances are included, it may reach 500 billion. "

Zhouyi:? ? ? .

Zhou Yi felt that he was still conservative.

Thirty or four billion?

Who do you look down on?

Zhou Yi felt that his understanding of the market was not very detailed.

But there is nothing wrong with it. I do scientific research every day and I know very little about the business world.

500 billion!

Completely enough.

It can even increase investment in the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Studies.

The market for smart home appliances plus the global market for mobile phones can be divided into seven or eight hundred magnesium gold after tax, which is completely enough.

Enough for one and a half Large Hadron Colliders.

Zhouyi said:

"Yiguang, please write a written report to me, and be as concise as possible on a detailed basis."

Trying to be as concise as possible on the basis of details, the corners of their mouths twitched, the request was really outrageous.

After Zhou Yi learned that he would have hundreds of billions of income a year, he became more confident in doing things.

Zhou Yi estimates that the intelligent voice system will take them two to three years at the earliest.

This means that Zhou Yi has been able to earn trillions of dollars in the past few years.

At least in terms of money, Zhou Yi doesn't have to worry.

Tian Yiguang said:

"Okay, Zhou Shen."

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:

"Half of the funds will be converted into magnesium knives, and half of the funds will be settled in Daxia national currency."

Tian Yiguang said:

"good."

The three of them talked for a while before leaving.

Zhou Yi looked at the time and found that it was only 11 o'clock, so he got up and went to Qiu Chengtong's office.

Now that we have money, it depends on Qiu Chengtong's equipment issues, and then there is the location issue.

Site selection is also a big issue.

A circle of 100 kilometers is no small place.

So this has to be discussed with the government. They won’t allow it, even if they have money and equipment, there’s nothing they can do.

Building a Large Hadron Collider was as troublesome to Zhou Yi as solving a mathematical problem.

Even harder.

If he sent a second minister, Zhou Yi wouldn't bother to apologize and toast.

Then Zhou Yi might just turn the table over.

This situation is not unheard of. There is a saying in academic circles that when Newton and Einstein came to Daxia, they had to toast to some ministers to apologize.

Not long after, Zhou Yi came to Mr. Qiu.

Qiu Chengtong's face was not happy, but looked sad. When he saw Zhou Yi coming, he said very depressed:

"Zhou Yi, you're here. My friend is unwilling to sell me equipment. I want to scold him to death."

Zhouyi:...

"Why are they unwilling to sell it? Don't they often say that science has no borders?"

Without these people selling core equipment, Daxia would not be able to build it at its current basic level.

This made Zhou Yi a little anxious.

Now that we have money, we can’t buy equipment, so why don’t we be in a hurry?

Qiu Chengtong asked:

"How are you doing there?"

Zhouyi said:

"I just asked my assistant to help me calculate the approximate income for a year, which is about 500 billion."

Qiu Chengtong's eyes widened and he asked in surprise:

"How much?"

Zhou Yi felt a little relieved when he saw Qiu Chengtong's surprised look. After all, there weren't many looks that could shock these big guys.

"500 billion!"

Zhou Yi said with great certainty,

"But after two or three years, there won't be so many. My basic theoretical results have been published in the four major journals, and people in other countries are not fools.

It's not like they won't be able to develop it for four to five years, and they have more talent reserves than us, so they can only make money in these few years. "

Qiu Chengtong said:

"Four or five years is not bad. Originally, they were ahead of us in many fields. By then, they will be neck-and-neck at most. If we want to stay ahead, we need someone who has been specializing in this field."

Zhouyi said:

"This direction has basically reached its end. One of the cores of artificial intelligence at this stage is voice, but there are other directions, so there is no rush."

"What kind of equipment can't be bought? Can I ask again?"

Zhou Yi is still more concerned about this issue.

Mr. Qiu said:

"They can't buy detectors and they don't want to sell them. They seem to be afraid that we will take away their position."

Zhou Yi said depressedly:

"We only have so many high-energy physics talents. Are you afraid that we will steal their limelight and status?"

Qiu Chengtong said:

“What we are building is the world’s largest collider, which is destined to cause a brain drain.

Cern was built with money from many countries, and those countries have scientific researchers working on Cern.

If we build alone, they will be controlled by others. "

Zhou Yi asked unwillingly:

"We can't buy any of the seven detectors?"

Qiu Chengtong sighed and said:

"Yes, after all, the detector is the core equipment of the LHC."

Zhou Yi sighed and said:

"Then I'll wait a few days for news from Mr. Yang."

Mr. Qiu said:

"Let's wait for news from him. At this moment, it should be your discovery of the unpacked Higgs boson that makes them a little nervous."

Zhou Yi also figured it out and said:

"There are also huge profits from the speech system, which makes them more worried about the impact of breakthroughs in our basic disciplines. More than one trillion Daxia national currency and more than 100 billion magnesium knives a year make them feel a little scared."

What Zhou Yi got was 500 billion. Adding in the income and taxes deducted by Liu Qingfeng and others, Zhou Yi estimated that a voice system brought in 2 trillion in revenue.

Can it not make people feel scared?

Qiu Chengtong said:

"That's probably the reason. We'll see when the time comes. If not, I'll go to Europe in person. Maybe there will be other explanations."

Zhouyi said:

"Okay. Teacher Qiu, I will go have dinner with Xia Xue first."

"Um."

As we all know, the structure of the LHC consists of three parts, the core part of which is several detectors.

Among them, the most well-known detector to the public is the detector referred to as ATLAS.

Its full Chinese name is "Torus Instrument 9". It is a huge machine. It is a cylindrical shape, 44 meters long, 25 meters in diameter, and weighs 7,000 tons. It carries two A Boeing 737 passenger plane with about 150 passengers can be crammed into it without any problem.

The God particle, announced in 2012, was discovered by this detector, so it is very famous.

Zhou Yi also knew it very well.

There is also a very famous detector called CMS, whose full Chinese name is "Compact U-sub Coil".

This is also a cylindrical structure detector, about 21 meters long and 16 meters in diameter. It is much smaller than ATLAS.

But the weight reaches an astonishing 12,500 tons. This is because its components are designed to be particularly compact, so it is called a compact u-coil.

So there are many core technologies here, there are barriers, and there are technical blockades.

It was possible to buy it before. Zhou Yi estimated that Mr. Qiu was still at Harvard and had not returned yet, so it was a bit of a show-off. But now that he has returned to China, it will be difficult.

Zhou Yi secretly said that this is just because ATLAS and CMS are two star detectors with the highest media exposure.

Although they are indeed one of the two most important players in the race to find new particles.

However, this does not mean that other detectors are not powerful. In fact, none of the seven detectors of the LHC is a vegetarian.

They are all the core within the core.

Not long after, Zhou Yi was waiting for Xia Xue in the cafeteria while thinking deeply.

Teacher Qiu's connections and face can't be bought, and Mr. Yang is probably not much better.

Since his return to China, his influence abroad has declined sharply.

There's nothing we can do about it. The positive Z factor sometimes makes people feel very helpless.

Zhou Yi thought about it and decided to exchange it with points.

It is impossible to exchange more than 10,000 points for the blueprints and manufacturing methods of 7 detectors.

After digesting these things, Zhou Yi felt that he would usher in all-round development in physics, chemistry, materials science and other aspects.

It is too late to learn from scratch, even if there is a strong mathematical foundation and physical foundation as support.

And points like this are used at critical times like this.

I have been unable to find a place to use it, so Zhou Yi felt that I could finally use it.

Zhou Yi feels that more than 10,000 points should be enough.

This was not enough, Zhou Yi fought with the system.
