Black tech predators

Chapter 236 [Shocking...that's all]

Obviously, Gu Cheng learned from the phone call just now that this is a project application of more than 10 billion.

After returning to the house, he quickly changed into a set of travel clothes. Gu Cheng went to the garage and picked up a car, then left the villa and went straight to the newly built hive headquarters.

In the first half of the year, the data computing center of the hive headquarters has been put into use. After entering October, the office center has also been completed. Now the company is undergoing overall relocation. It is expected to complete the relocation early next year. The remaining technical reserve center will be completed by the end of the year. Can be delivered on schedule before.

It has to be said that as long as the money is in place, the quality progress can be satisfactorily completed in accordance with Party A's requirements.

……

Hive headquarters.

At present, more than 3000 employees have moved into the Hive headquarters. At the beginning of the design, the new headquarters is expected to accommodate 1.5 people working at the same time. Tianqing Technology Group currently has 7220 to [-] employees, and the current number of employees working in the headquarters is [-], which is only about half.

At the moment, in a reception room of the new headquarters, two old physicists, Song Bojun and Wu Yueliang, were sitting in front of a French window while the young Pan Yang was standing.

"Wow, it is indeed a giant-level office headquarters, simple but not simple."

Along the way, Xiao Pan was also very shocked. The overall style of the Hive headquarters gives people a simple and rigorous style. He has done enough homework on air circulation. Every design contains rich geometry. Many halls The air circulation in the room is very comfortable and will not give people a dull feeling.

But what impresses Xiao Pan the most is the modern technology contained in this uncompleted building complex. The entire hive headquarters is connected to Xiaoqing's intelligent system, which hosts and monitors the operation of the entire building complex.

Of course, Xiaoqing is still in charge of the main counter-espionage mission, as long as she enters this headquarters complex, no one can escape her eyes.

Tianqing Technology's anti-commercial espionage has a long way to go, and some people even want to apply for positions such as cleaning staff to collect document garbage generated by the company during office hours, and try to obtain some relevant information about Tianqing Technology.

Xiao Pan has more and more ideas about working under Tianqing Technology Group after graduation. He has already learned some information. Tianqing Technology also supports many scientists, including a lot of mathematicians.

Of course, the most are researchers in the field of applied technology.

After all, it is a technology company.

After waiting for ten minutes, everyone heard the door of the reception room knocking at this moment, and the old and the young couldn't help but follow the prestige.

Xiao Pan's eyes lit up when he saw a young man walking in, and he changed into the rhythm of a fan in seconds.

The person who came was Gu Cheng. When he saw the two old people getting up, Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Please sit down, please. There is no need to be polite. Regardless of your status, both of you are my elders."

Xiao Pan was a little excited, but he knew that he was not high enough to get in the conversation, and he was also a little timid, so he just had to stay on the sidelines honestly.

When the two old physicists came into contact with Gu Cheng for the first time, they were still amazed at his youth. He was basically about the same age as Pan Yang, and they were of the same generation anyway.

However, Gu Cheng felt differently to the two old academicians, he was very aura, and his demeanor was extremely extraordinary.

"To be honest, Mr. Gu has really changed my inherent view of capitalists. He can donate 2000 billion yuan a year to fund basic scientific research without hesitation. Not to mention earth-shattering, it is also unprecedented." Wu Yueliang said, this is old-fashioned Song was a little surprised and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Old Wu didn't like dealing with people very much. Why did he speak so flatteringly? As an old friend for many years, this was the first time I saw him like this.

Song Bojun was taken aback for a while.

Afterwards, the two old professors introduced themselves.

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Old Academician Wu, I really have to correct what you said just now. I dare say that apart from me, no rich man on this planet would behave like me. I support your previous opinion. I am just a Exceptions, but you can no longer hold your own opinion of me."

The two old academicians were stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing again and again, Wu Yueliang nodded repeatedly.

Gu Chengneng said this with such confidence and confidence.

Xiao Pan secretly sighed: As expected of my idol, a boss is a boss.

After exchanging pleasantries for a minute or two, Gu Cheng immediately said, "I've heard that the two of you came here in person this time because of a space gravitational wave detection project. I heard that the project requires a lot of funds. Can you explain it in detail?"

The two old physicists were refreshed when they heard this, and they also had a preliminary impression of Gu Cheng from the brief chat just now.

I found that he was different from what I expected. I thought he was an entrepreneur and businessman. Even though he supported basic science, he didn't know much about it. I didn't expect to find out that he was a master after chatting with him.

Talking about some related academic terms such as particle physics and even quantum mechanics, not only did he not have any communication barriers with Gu Cheng, but he also had unique insights.

The short exchange made the two physicists greatly change their views on Gu Cheng, and Wu Yueliang finally understood why he supported academic research so much. It turns out that he himself is academically accomplished.

No wonder there is such a strong support for basic scientific research.

As Gu Cheng took the initiative to speak, the two old physicists looked at each other. After a while, Song Bojun decided to speak. He had already organized what he wanted to say many times in his heart. After all, the father of the gold master...

"Looking for gravitational waves is a powerful means to explore the mysteries of the universe. The space gravitational wave detection project is a plan that Lao Wu and I have prepared for two years. However, due to the embarrassment of funds, the project has remained at the theoretical stage and cannot be transferred to the engineering stage. .”

"The project plan is to launch a detection star group composed of three satellites into space around 2033. The star group operates in a heliocentric orbit, and the center of mass falls on the earth's revolution orbit. Simply, it orbits the sun behind the earth. The three stars form a regular triangle with a side length of 300 million kilometers. The heliocentric orbit can avoid the gravitational interference of the earth-moon system. The orbit always maintains a 60-degree incident angle to the sun, so that the spacecraft has a stable temperature environment..."

"Different from ground detectors such as LIGO in the United States, space detectors can eliminate the interference of ground noise. Ground detection is more like looking for signals in noise, while space detection is more like looking for signals in signal piles. The detection of space gravitational waves Within the range, the number of gravitational waves is very large, and the signal strength of the wave source is also relatively large..."

"Every galaxy will have supermassive black holes. A full-time detection of the formation and growth of black holes can further understand the evolution of galaxies. Due to the cosmological redshift effect, in the initial ionization of the universe, a thousand solar-mass black holes The gravitational waves produced will also enter the detector’s measurement band after their frequency is red-shifted, and these black holes are likely to be the remnants of the first generation of stars after their death..."

Song Bojun was eloquent, Gu Cheng signaled the staff in the reception room to pour water while listening, Mr. Song took a sip and continued: "...in order to capture and distinguish subtle gravitational wave signals, the design of the system is sophisticated and complicated. The measurement accuracy of the system is required to reach the picometer level in the order of millions of kilometers. There are sixty to seventy subsystems in the system, and there are as many as six to seven hundred couplings between subsystems. If the system is to operate normally in space All aspects of work, hardware, design, management, etc. must be resolved..."

Gu Cheng thinks that the group of scientific researchers are not nerds, and their eloquence is not inferior to that of entrepreneurs and investors in telling stories, and what they express not only reflects the implicitness of scholars, but also allows the listeners to understand the problem.

Anyway, after Gu Cheng listened to it, he summed it up to be... a lot of money!
"Old Wu, where's the blueprint?" Song Bojun turned his head and asked his old friend. Wu Yueliang quickly put the bag in his lap on hearing this, and Gu Cheng could tell that Old Wu regarded it as a treasure.

It's completely understandable, after all, it's their painstaking efforts over the years.

But at this moment, Wu Yueliang took out the materials without reservation, and immediately gave them to Gu Cheng one by one. He thought it was unnecessary before, but after learning about Gu Cheng's academic attainments, he firmly believed that the other party could understand.

Wu Yueliang explained one by one: "This is the design of the laser interference ranging system, this is the inertial sensing system, this is the no-drag control and micro-propulsion system, and this is the design of the ultra-clean and ultra-stable aircraft..."

Gu Cheng is really looking at it seriously, these are all paper manuscripts.

"I didn't expect to be so fully prepared..." Gu Cheng said in amazement after reading it for a few minutes, and he also admired the two scientists. Judging from the notes in the manuscript, it was basically completed by the two of them, and the workload was not small. Ah, it can be seen from these manuscripts that a lot of hard work has been put into it.

Song Bojun said with a smile: "I can memorize it backwards, so I hope that the funds will come down and enter the engineering stage. Some work and designs need actual tests before they can be carried out. Without money, they can't be carried out. Experiments must be done."

Gu Cheng nodded, otherwise the time span of this project would not be as long as 20 years. After looking at it for a while, he said, "What's the name of this project?"

"The name of the project hasn't been decided yet." Wu Yueliang glanced at Song Bojun as he spoke, and then added to Gu Cheng, "Why don't we just call it 'Tianqing Project'?"

Gu Cheng couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard it, and couldn't help showing a smile. Seeing his smiling expression, the two physicists realized that Gu Cheng seemed to have seen their little thoughts.

Can't help but blush.

It really doesn't matter what the name is. What the two professors care about is the funding, so the name "Tianqing Project" is proposed to please the potential donor father.

As long as the benefactor's father is happy and willing to pay, it doesn't matter what the name "Tianqing" or "Diqing" is.

At this time, Gu Cheng put away his smile and asked, "Then, is there any specific amount for the preliminary budget and the total budget?"

He supports basic scientific research, but the money does not come from the wind. Tianqing Science Foundation has a very strict system for the whereabouts of project funds. The applicant must sign an agreement. Once the funds are found to be embezzled, the funds will be stopped immediately. and sue the parties.

However, for projects with tens of millions of dollars, the money will not be allocated all at once.

The two old academicians looked at each other. After a while, Wu Yueliang hesitated for a while. This number is indeed an astronomical figure, so the old professor whispered: "The initial budget is 12.7 billion, and the entire project will last for about 15 to 20 years, about 118 billion." total budget."

Gu Cheng: "Aww...it turns out that the total budget within 20 years is more than 100 billion, that is to say, it's only 5.9 million per year on average, less than 6 million. It's only so little. I thought it was an upfront investment. It’s a huge project with a budget of tens of billions.”

Wu Yueliang: "..."

Song Bojun: "..."
