“Is this the graduate school you want to apply for?”

The leader looked at the research institute application submitted by Zhou Tian and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

“Leader, yes!”

Zhou Tian also knew that this application might seem a bit ridiculous. Their Red Star Mechanical Research Institute was originally a research institute specializing in mechanical research, but now there are so many research projects all of a sudden. How can people not doubt it? This is only him. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, the leader would probably knock on the other person's brain and make him recognize himself.

"Xiaotian, tell me honestly, why are you going to involve chemical engineering, materials, electromechanical, genetics, electronics, meteorology, agriculture and aerospace fields? Isn't this a step too big?"

Putting down the application, the leader looked at him seriously.

You know, none of the eight fields is simple, especially in the field of genetics. Even in the Western world, this field has just started not long ago. Moreover, according to the genetic plan in Zhou Tian’s application, it is based on traditional Chinese medicine and supplemented by Western medicine. This makes him even more entangled.

"Leader, actually when I was in the machinery factory, I was involved in these things when I was researching various machines, such as electromechanical, materials, and electronics!"

The leader did not refute this and just nodded. His current car is still the first car produced by the machinery factory. The electronic equipment on it is indeed the leading technology even if it is taken to the world.

"The method of producing sugar with microorganisms belongs to the field of chemical biology, so our institute has also made achievements in this field. You can't deny this!"

After all, the microbial sugar-making method is a microbial technology proposed by Zhou Tian based on the information from his previous life. It can be said to be unique in this era, so it is natural for him to say it casually.

"So these are already four areas. As for the other areas, I have also submitted the application after careful consideration, so I hope to get your support!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, the leader was silent. He didn't know how to refute for a moment. He wanted to agree, but the country's funds are tight now, especially after it was decided to repay the foreign exchange to Big Brother, the foreign exchange is even less sufficient.

Now he wishes he could make the most of every penny he has, and these experimental equipments are very expensive in themselves, which is a sky-high price for China today. It is unrealistic to support all of them.

But if he didn't agree, he was afraid of disappointing the little guy. After all, most of the country's foreign exchange came from the little guy in recent years. After thinking about it, the leader considered it and said to Zhou Tian: "I can agree to part of this application, including electromechanical, materials, electronics, chemical engineering and agriculture. As for the three projects of meteorology, genetics and aviation, you must wait until you have made achievements!"

Although Zhou Tian wanted to refute, but thinking that the current situation of the country did not allow large amounts of spending, he could only suppress his opposition and nodded.

But he also expressed his need for experts, and the leader agreed to this.

After leaving the palace and returning to the research institute, Zhou Tian immediately summoned several vice presidents of the institute and explained to them the institute's project expansion matters. However, everyone voted in favor of this issue.

After all, as vice presidents of the institute, they naturally hope that the institute will get better and better. However, Zhang Mingzhi raised a difficult and urgent problem, that is, the houses in the institute are not enough and need to be expanded.

Previously they were a machinery factory, so when it was being built, the workshop naturally took up the majority of the space. Now it has become a research institute, and although the floor area remains the same, you can't just put the research institute in the workshop to conduct research, that's not the same thing.

The research institute they occupy now was just the workers' dormitory. It is not very large in area, but it is not a long-term solution.

"How about this, Lao Zhang? Contact the engineering team immediately and see if you can tear down the institute and rebuild a few tall buildings. This way, not only can we solve the problem of insufficient land for the institute, but we can also solve the problem of accommodation for some technicians!"

"Okay, Dean, I'll contact them after the meeting!"

Zhang Mingzhi nodded when he heard the dean's decision.

"Dean, there is one more thing!"

Just as Zhou Tian was about to adjourn the meeting, Zhang Mingzhi suddenly remembered something and quickly raised his hand.

"Oh, what else?"

When Zhou Tian heard what Zhang Mingzhi said, he swallowed what he was about to say and looked at Zhang Mingzhi.

"Dean, as we have invested a lot of money in the family housing, school, and power plant, the funds from the institute are no longer enough to support us in completing the transformation plan of the institute. I wonder if you can apply for some money from above!"

"I'm afraid this won't work!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand and said, "When we applied for the family housing, we were clearly told that funds were tight and they would not be used for this. We had to figure out everything ourselves, so don't even think about it!"

Then he pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, since the funding from the research institute is insufficient, let's wait a little longer. These research institutes can use the workshop temporarily, and we can rebuild it next year when we have enough funds!"

After hearing this, no one objected. After all, it was only a matter of a day earlier or later. As for whether the institute could come up with funds for reconstruction, no one was worried about it. Just kidding, if even the institute, which earns nearly hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange for the higher-ups every year, couldn't come up with this little money, that would be ridiculous.

What's more, this year's orders are overwhelming, and the hundreds of millions of dollars may increase several times, so there will be no problem at all.

"Okay, now that everyone knows the next project, Jiang Long, Zheng Tianhua, and Chang Weijun, the three of you stay here. Weiguo and Lao Zhang, you guys go get busy first!"

Seeing that no one had any other questions, Zhou Tian simply kept Jiang Long and the other two, and sent Zhang Mingzhi and Song Weiguo away.

After Song Weiguo and the other man left, Zhou Tian looked at Jiang Long and the other two.

"Jiang Long, as far as I know, in addition to being good at machine tool research, you also seem to be good at electromechanics. I wonder if you have ever thought about changing your research field!"

This was the result of his whole night's thinking yesterday. After all, the three of them had some overlap in the field of mechanics. If all three of them chose the field of mechanics, it would be a waste of his brain space. It would be better to let two of them change tracks. In this way, the utilization of his brain space could be maximized!
