Chapter 382: Leave early and feel at ease
Headache when hearing English? Xiang Pingshan from the International Research Project Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was speechless.
This reason sounds far-fetched, but it is actually more absurd.
A member of the two academies, headache when hearing English? Are you kidding me? So many academic papers and materials are in English. For academic research, English is an unavoidable obstacle.
And for scholars like Kang Chi, language is at best something that can be learned in spare time. What’s the headache? However, if Xiang Pingshan can find Kang Chi’s information, he will know that what he said is actually true.
Since the first grade of junior high school, Kang Chi has never passed English…
If he hadn’t been so biased, he would have had a good chance of getting into a second-tier university.
Although Kang Chi later used a learning machine to learn English in order to understand foreign academic materials, his English skills were limited to reading and writing. If he were to be tested on his listening and speaking skills, he might not be able to do it…
Kang Chi brought a cup of tea prepared by Bai Niu to Xiang Pingshan: “The purpose of cooperation is to learn from each other’s strengths and create a win-win situation, but I haven’t found out what our weaknesses are and what their strengths are.”
”Even if there are, from the current standpoints of both parties, I don’t think we can create a win-win situation with them, and I don’t have the time to discuss cooperation with them. We might have figured it out ourselves.”
Xiang Pingshan had no choice but to nod and said, “I understand… there is another thing.”
”What do you mean?”
”Country M is putting pressure on the ITER Council to make them choose between two options.”
”Choose between two options? Are they forcing the emperor to abdicate?” Kang Chi was speechless and said, “They think too highly of themselves, don’t they?”
”Well… but no matter whether they think too highly of their importance in ITER or not, this matter is difficult for us to do…”
”IT The ER Council privately conveyed their ideas to us, meaning that they can kick M out, since they have never done anything right… ”
”But they hope that after M is kicked out, we will bear the expenses that should have been borne by M…even including the part that they have been in arrears.”
”If we don’t accept it, they may stand on the side of M. Of course, we think this is just a warning without any threat. No matter how you look at it, ITER cannot do without us now…The leader means that he wants to hear your opinion.”
”My opinion is to retreat in order to advance, and the sooner you withdraw, the sooner you can feel at ease!”
Kang Chi said without hesitation: “Domestic tokamak research has now been completely stopped. International cooperation projects involve many problems, so it is definitely not as simple as domestic ones to temporarily withdraw, so I have never mentioned this issue.”
”But since they have taken the initiative to give us an opportunity, if we don’t climb down the ladder now, when will we wait?”
Kang Chi’s answer was within Xiang Pingshan’s expectations.
After all, the first thing the chief engineer did when he took office was to make a huge turn on the domestic controlled nuclear fusion route. The whole process was full of confidence and decisiveness, leaving no room for retreat…
This made Xiang Pingshan couldn’t help asking: “Are you so sure that the Tokamak device will not succeed?”
”Yes, I am sure that this road will not work… Maybe one day in the future, we can discover some new elements or particles, and materials science will make some breakthroughs. Tokamaks may return to the mainstream, but at least for now, I think studying Tokamaks is a waste of resources.”
Hearing Kang Chi’s clear and affirmative answer, Xiang Pingshan felt a little relieved.
“I see. Thank you for taking the time to see me.”
”You’re welcome… By the way, if our people withdraw from ITER, can they also be assigned to my side?”
”Well… I’m only responsible for diplomatic negotiations. The specific personnel transfers are mainly coordinated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Organization Department. However, based on the current situation, I personally think that after they return to China, they will most likely be assigned to the Jinwu No. 1 project.”
Kang Chi nodded: “That’s great. I’m in need of talent in this area now.”
”Especially if more commercial reactors are to be built in the future, more manpower will be needed. In fact, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can also start to consider how to make good use of this.This important technology can enhance our influence, such as building several transnational power grids…”
Hearing Kang Chi’s words, Xiang Pingshan was stunned again…
The test reactor hasn’t been built yet, but they are already considering building a commercial reactor? Our President Kang has been using Rejoice since he was a child, right? However, despite the complaints, Kang Chi’s proposal still made Xiang Pingshan feel excited…
If this confident young man in front of him can really give China the century’s gift package of controlled nuclear fusion as he said, then he has to think carefully about how to use this gift package to re-plan the energy structure of the entire world.
Make your own rules and take the initiative in planning…
It sounds very attractive!
After the two finished their conversation, Kang Chi sent Xiang Pingshan to the door of the laboratory. Chen Hai, who had been guarding the door, saw Kang Chi sending the guests and preparing to close the door, and asked hurriedly: “Um… can you give me some time? ”
Kang Chi immediately looked at Chen Hai with some doubts, then nodded and said, “Come in.”
Because Kang Chi stayed in the laboratory all day, he only communicated with other researchers when he came out, either solving problems or assigning tasks. Even Chen Hai, as the head of Kang Chi’s security team, could not necessarily chat with him alone…
”Tea or coffee?”
Chen Hai shook his head, and said to Bai Niu in a familiar way, “Give me a can of Sprite, iced.”
”Okay.”
”You are quite good at using my machine.”
”Hehe, I learned this from you… Don’t you think it’s a waste of talent to let an industrial robot like Bai Niu serve you tea and water? And Bai Niu’s appearance is not good… I strongly suggest you make a prettier humanoid robot. If it can be as realistic as a real person… it will definitely sell well! ”
”Uh…”
Seeing Chen Hai’s meaningful smile, Kang Chi explained helplessly: “You think too simply. Before the robot industry chain is established, the cost of making such a robot is too high. How many people can afford the price of hundreds of millions or even tens of millions? If you have the money to buy such an expensive robot, you can find tens or hundreds of real people…”
”Even if rich people think it’s new and don’t mind the price, it’s useless if the mass production is not enough and can’t be shipped. After the robot industry chain is established, the first to be produced will be war robots, and then civilian robots… We can only wait and see after one or two years.”
”Well, I just made a suggestion. ”
Chen Hai took the Sprite handed over by Bai Niu, opened it and took a sip.
”In fact, I feel that the scale of the civilian robot industry will definitely be several times larger than that of automobiles and semiconductors in the future. It may even directly replace the status of real estate. Not only can it make a lot of money, but it can also solve problems such as retirement, singleness, and selling Y-plagiarism. I feel that it can be appropriately prioritized.”
Who doesn’t know this…
If it weren’t for this reason, how could the leaders be willing to invest tens of thousands or hundreds of trillions? ”You asked me to give you time… just to talk to me about this?”
”That’s not the case. I’m just chatting. Actually, it’s Director Li from the Organization Department who wants to talk to you.”
”Organization Department?” Kang Chi was a little confused, “Why did they look for me?”
”Well, it seems… the country wants to give you a wife…”
”…”
