Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 336 Just pretending to be fake
Milk and food are domestic products and cannot make the country strong. Graphene is the future technology and is related to Xiaguo's international competitiveness.

With the imperial sword, Lu Shan told Zhang Leiming about the next plan and asked him to implement it.

"Okay! I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Zhang Leiming gritted his teeth. He had really had enough of this period of time.

If it weren't for the CEO of Enthalpy Entropy Energy, Zhang Leimin would have already kicked them out. He even used a toilet mop to kick out those academic hooligans!
With the public opinion outside so overwhelming, the academic hooligans were naturally nervous. They also called people to ask about the attitude of their superiors, but no one could explain it clearly.

Another group of people are also worried, not knowing what the future developments will be. These people really want to learn something and do not want to leave enthalpy-entropy energy.

Fortunately, the situation didn't last too long, as Zhang Leimin called all parties to a meeting. If he had endured this farce for another hour, it might have caused his prostate to become blocked.

As soon as you enter the meeting place, you can sense that something is wrong. The three supervisors sent by the higher-ups are all present, but there is no expert from Enthalpy Entropy Energy, only Zhang Leimin.

This makes the whole thing look a bit like a court trial.

The academic hooligans didn't dare to say much at this time. They just sat down and saw what was going on.

When Zhang Leimin saw that most people had arrived, he started the meeting.

The purpose of the meeting was to brief each group and individual on their scientific research tasks and the progress made.

It sounds long, but it is actually short and I finished reading it very quickly.

Because most of the groups did not meet the standard, Zhang Leimin read out the task and then said "failed to meet the standard" and then moved on to the next group.

If the group has a breakthrough, it says who did what, and everything is very clear.

This is the working style of Lushan Enterprise. It is to consolidate responsibilities and assign them to individuals. If you do a good job, it is your achievement. If you don’t do a good job but you have tried hard and made contributions, you will be rewarded.

No one requires anyone to produce results within a certain period of time. Science cannot be done according to regulations, but the attitude must be shown.

That's why Zhang Leiming looks down on these academic hooligans. Damn it, they are incompetent, lazy, and pretentious. They can't be taught, and they eat a lot!

Zhang Leimin criticized almost everyone by name, without showing any mercy.

Those academic rogues have never seen such a scene before. They have long been accustomed to praise, compliments and applause, and they don’t know how many years it has been since they were criticized.

His face immediately turned red and he wanted to retort, but when he saw the supervisor was still sitting there, he managed to hold it in.

This is not the end. After talking about the scientific research project, Zhang Leimin continued to criticize: "It's ok that the scientific research project has not made any progress, but there has been no progress in the learning process, and the relevant inspections have basically not passed. Are you all here to waste time?
If you are willing, you can at least get started after studying for so long. You are not contributing to the scientific research projects, but now you are dragging them down. We have to allocate manpower, energy and material resources to retrain you, but the results are not ideal! "

It's a slap in the face and it hurts the heart, but the key is that it's all true, without a single word of exaggeration.

"According to the relevant spirit, please leave Enthalpy Entropy Energy on your own and do not delay the advancement of related projects." Zhang Leiming drove people away directly without any mercy.

The academic hooligan looked at Zhang Leimin in astonishment, anger and unwillingness. He subconsciously looked at the three supervisors, but found that the supervisors looked calm and had no intention of refutation.

I understood everything at once.

Those who were more shy stood up silently and left without looking back. It would be too embarrassing to stay any longer. Should Entropy Energy really be asked to drive them away? How undignified.

But a considerable number of people stayed, and the composition of this group is very interesting.

Some of them are linked to foreign foundations and come here with missions, while others are from companies who are focused on technology, such as Lianxiang and Bidi.

The experts sent by the higher-ups had left long ago as they felt ashamed. Perhaps their higher-ups had given them a hint, so they temporarily avoided this vortex and left the key clown in a conspicuous place for disposal.

Anyway, those who stayed behind wanted to continue staying in Enthalpy Entropy Energy in an attempt to get more information.

So the following dispute occurred.

"Enthalpy Entropy Energy has no sincerity in joint scientific research. If we want to conduct joint research, the progress of the research will not be disclosed, and the relevant theories will not be studied. What kind of joint research is this?"

"That's right! Every day I listen to those so-called basic theories, and I also deal with pollutants. God knows if it is the enthalpy, entropy and energy itself. What if it is misleading?"

"Our little progress just proves that Enthalpy Entropy Energy has been careless about this matter. We are not newbies, we have a solid foundation! If we were willing to teach, there would be no such problem. We are taking our time to do these things just to delay!"

The scene suddenly became noisy. Zhang Leiming was alone, while the academic hooligans had a group of people. They were very confident and the advantage was mine!
However, Zhang Leimin sat there with a calm expression, and had no intention of pampering them. Zhang Leimin took out a record in a leisurely manner, looked at it, and read it:

"These are the questions recorded in the first academic seminar. Now that some time has passed, I would like to ask these questions again. I hope you can give me some answers. Is that okay?"

It's real business, no empty talk. The academic hooligans were a little panicked. They know how to talk nonsense, but they probably don't understand the problems of enthalpy, entropy and energy.

Before they could object, Zhang Leimin started reading: "After graphene is doped with Nb2O5, to what extent can the anisotropy of electrons shuttling between different phases be balanced?
Is there any better way to solve the unstable volume expansion of various crystal types caused by the insertion and extraction of positive charges during the charge and discharge process?
Please explain why the rate performance of the same material at different current densities is always incorrect.

For now, these are the questions. This is not even a technical school unique to enthalpy-entropy energy, but the current mainstream scientific research school. You should be able to answer them after these days of study!"

After reading a few questions, Zhang Leimin looked at this group of academic hooligans and experts with ulterior motives.

There was a sudden silence, and Zhang Leimin shook his head: "If you take the basic courses seriously and do some experiments, you will have some ideas, but you are only thinking about acquiring technology through other means and have no intention of doing scientific research at all.

That's not right. In fact, you don't have the ability to conduct research with enthalpy and entropy energy. It's fine if you don't have the ability, but you are not willing to accumulate little by little. What are you doing here?"

Another heavy punch hit the academic hooligans in the face, and this time they didn't even know how to defend themselves.

After those questions were raised, they didn't think about them at all, but instead thought about going to the production line to come up with something.

In the end, I showed them everything, but they still couldn't understand anything.

Originally, they thought that graphene battery technology was just one step away from a breakthrough, but now it seems that the knowledge mastered by Enthalpy Entropy Energy is a cliff-like lead, not a gap-like lead.

Even if these things are made public, it will take a long time for people to understand and make breakthroughs.

"Do you have anything else to say? You have been filling in the gaps for so long! You have occupied so many public opinion resources, but you have not created any positive effect at all!"

"You can't produce results and you can't spread the correct values. Tell me, what use are you to the country? You're always holding it back!" Zhang Lei was not polite this time and started scolding directly.

Everyone present here is a well-known figure in the academic world, and many of them are at the professor level.

No one expected that Zhang Lei was really cursing!
Instead, he cursed in front of the supervisors of relevant departments.

"Do you know that the enthalpy-entropy energy project is related to the development of the entire country? If you delay here for one day, the country's pace will be slowed down by one day! Reflect on yourself after you go back, and don't do such unreasonable things again!"

"This is a research institute, a laboratory, not a club!"

Zhang Leimin's words are filled with strong personal emotions, and this kind of emotion is also shared by ordinary people with normal values.

Unable to raise their heads after being scolded, this group of people with ulterior motives opened their mouths and looked at the three supervisors, who were the people representing the country.

The supervisor thought about it and spoke. His words were more tactful, but the meaning was - get out!
The quicker the better. Don't waste any more time, otherwise someone you don't want to mess with will come and deal with you!

After driving away the flies, we can finally get down to business, which is to formulate industry rules and technical standards.

At this time, Lu Shan took the list provided by Zhang Leimin and contacted some people for interviews.

These people are the more outstanding talents among this group of visitors. Some are recommended by the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, some are experts sent by higher authorities, and some are even technical talents in companies like Lianxiang Bidi.

Of course, before technology and academics, there is the ideological level.

This group of people have also been carefully screened and have no deeper ties with overseas institutions and competitors. Although some of them are from companies such as Lianxiang, it is obvious that Lushan can provide a bigger stage.

Lu Shan loves talents, and now he is short of manpower, so there is no reason for him to refuse the talents sent to him.

When they received the interview invitation, they were more or less nervous. Fortunately, Lu Shan was gentle and had no airs, so the interview went smoothly. He said yes if it was okay, and no if it was not. He gave a firm answer on the spot.

There was an incident that happened, not too big or too small. There were several technical talents from Biddi and Lianxiang, but they signed a non-compete agreement, which meant that they were not allowed to work in that industry for a certain number of years after leaving their jobs.

Faced with Lu Shan's sincere invitation, they were flattered but extremely conflicted.

After Lu Shan knew their concerns, he contacted the military and other departments, saying that he needed people and would help deal with the rest of the matters.

As a result, Lianxiang and Bidi gritted their teeth and swallowed their anger, canceled the non-compete agreement, and "readily" handed over the person.

If someone from the military department comes to your company to talk to you about something wearing that kind of uniform, and even uses the national project as an excuse, you must be stupid to disagree.

Besides, there are skills in chatting and negotiating. If you don’t agree, then continue to expose what these companies have done and see who is right.

In this way, Lu Shan gained some more talents. Although they could not be put into the most core positions, they were enough to strengthen the backbone team, which was much faster than searching for people all over the world.

After the rules and technical standards for the graphene and graphene battery industries were established, the military departments began to calm down and focused only on cooperative projects.

The project was delayed for some time due to this farce. They were very anxious, but they also knew that they couldn't push too hard, so they just expressed their anxiety implicitly.

Of course Lu Shan understood what he meant, as he was already prepared for this matter.

As mentioned before, Lu Shan divided his team into two groups. One group continued to tackle the problems and work secretly to give an explanation to the country. There could be no delay for any reason.

The other wave is to deal with this farce, so the enthalpy-entropy energy is a remnant and will defeat this group of academic hooligans.

Soon, Lu Shan had a progress report, saying that the research on high energy density of graphene batteries had made good progress.

The military also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this timely good news.

Research on high energy density of graphene batteries is a new research direction and also what the military needs most urgently.

This thing can be used in many aspects, especially the use of drones.

The concept of drones already existed at that time, and military departments all over the world were working on them. Those with advanced technology were able to produce products with a range of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.

However, the progress on Xia Country's side is a bit behind.

The endurance of a drone is basically solar energy plus a large-capacity battery, combined with an excellent system that senses the flight status and allocates energy.

At that time, Xia's solar cell technology was not as good as that of Japan, and its system was not as good as that of the United States, so it was naturally lagging behind in combination.

Xia Country does not want to fall behind in this regard, so the military department attaches so much importance to Lu Shan’s graphene battery. This thing is naturally suitable for drones!
With the new progress, the military department paid more attention to the scientific research atmosphere of Lushan Enterprise and took the initiative to provide Lushan with a solid umbrella.

Anyone who dares to use enthalpy-entropy energy again must be prepared to be severely punished!
The farce was over, and Lu Shan won everything he could win. Graphene took the initiative, gained a firmer control over technology, won the support of the people, and received recognition from his superiors.

The one who was upset was Lianxiang. They didn't get anything, and two of their experts were poached by Lu Shan. They couldn't swallow this, and the top management of Lianxiang was almost angry to the point of having a cerebral thrombosis.

Bidi was not feeling well either, but fortunately, his talent pool was relatively strong, so he did not suffer any serious consequences.

But I was also a little scared. If it weren't for the lack of staff on the production line due to too many orders, I might have sent a few more people over - just to send them to their deaths.

These companies were so depressed by the loss that they lost their temper. People from the military department came to talk to them in person. No one could bear this.

Lianxiang resisted at that time, but it was of no use.

It’s not that I value these talents, but this matter is about face and I really can’t lose.

As a result, Liu Dazhi was unable to persuade anyone to help him at all. His superiors were angry and warned Liu Dazhi to be more restrained. The problem with Lu Shan was not just a business issue, but a national scientific and technological issue!

Lianxiang didn't learn anything, didn't steal anything, and his people were poached and he was scolded. He felt so wronged.

Lu Shan got some talented people who were immediately put to good use. A large-scale production line for graphene batteries was soon built in Jiangzhou, which meant that Enthalpy Energy had the ability to share BYD's production capacity.
