Black Tech Scholar

"Xiao Liao, I always thought that you would agree to build the Hadron Collider. But why, you would oppose this matter?" Professor Zhao had been thinking about this matter when he went downstairs just now.He knows that for nuclear fusion clean energy.Liao Yuanbai must be very clear about what the Hadron Collider means.

It can be said that among all the people in the meeting room, except Director Chen, everyone is well aware of the functions of the Hadron Collider.

Liao Yuanbai opposed the construction of a hadron collider, which surprised Professor Li.It can be said that he never thought that Liao Yuanbai would object to this proposal.After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what Liao Yuanbai was thinking.After being helpless, he had no choice but to ask Liao Yuanbai why he suddenly opposed the construction of the Hadron Collider.You know, the significance of the Hadron Collider is self-evident. If it is really built...nuclear fusion clean energy, not to mention the solution, will at least speed up the pace of research.

Professor Wang objected, but it was expected by Professor Li.The two have been in contact countless times, so of course he knows what Professor Wang thinks.Professor Li is a radical in the research of nuclear fusion clean energy, while Professor Wang is a conservative.He feels that at this stage, not to mention Huaguo, even the world's nuclear fusion energy research has not made much progress.

There is no need to spend countless financial resources and energy to build a hadron collider that looks tall but is actually useless.

But Liao Yuanbai's objection caught Professor Li by surprise.He always thought that Liao Yuanbai's thoughts were similar to his, but he didn't expect to lean on Professor Wang.Looking at Liao Yuanbai, Professor Li showed no displeasure on his face.He wanted to know Liao Yuanbai's real thoughts and why, which made him feel that this thing was unreliable.In other words, what kind of considerations would make Liao Yuanbai oppose the construction of the Hadron Collider at this stage.

"Professor Li, I am not against the construction of this thing." Liao Yuanbai thought for a while, and said as he walked, "This thing, even if the lighthouse country and European countries jointly study it, it is only a product of imagination after all. The mass equation has clearly told us that if human beings can abide by the law of conservation of mass and take out the tritium fuel in nuclear fusion, then energy will no longer be a problem in the future.”

Having said this, Liao Yuanbai paused.He knew very well that extracting tritium fuel from nuclear fusion was the most convenient way.It's just that human beings don't fully grasp nuclear fusion now, just like the current thermonuclear weapons, which are all uncontrolled nuclear fusion.

This is a technical problem. To put it a step further, this is a problem that has plagued scientists around the world for almost half a century and has not been resolved, and it is difficult to make any progress.

Naturally, Liao Yuanbai would not be so arrogant that he thought that as long as he could build a hadron collider, he could think of extracting tritium fuel, that is, the method of controlling nuclear fusion.This is a technical problem, and countless talented scientists cannot make progress in their lives.It is impossible for him to solve this problem all at once.Naturally, he can only choose aerospace trajectory as a master's major.In the end, he still wanted to overcome this technical problem.

This is a well-known thing, which scientist would not want to do it.Although Professor Wang is so conservative, in fact, he also wants to facilitate this matter.It's just that he has his own considerations.

"At this stage, Huaguo's physical science level is not enough to build a collider. Moreover, Huaguo now only has thermonuclear research, and there is actually very little research on tritium fuel. Moreover, tritium fuel does not exist in nature. This is the most special element and energy source." Liao Yuanbai opened the car door, looked at Professor Li's serious face and said, "I don't think there is such a demand in China at this stage, or in other words, it has not met the requirements. Such a scientific level. In the mid-80s, the Beacon Country was studying this matter, but it has been almost 20 years. The Beacon Country still has nothing, and it can even be said that it is still lingering outside the door. Although they have not given up This thing, but there is no hope for this thing. From the current point of view, at least for 50 years, the lighthouse country will only invest and have no income."

"..." Professor Li also knew about these situations.After being silent for a long time, Professor Li said, "So you mean that China is not suitable for researching this thing at present? But you have to know that if it is first researched by other countries, the power to formulate rules must be given Other countries have taken it. If the Hua Kingdom does not pursue it courageously... perhaps, it will still be oppressed by the Lighthouse Country in the future."

"There is no way. With the current financial resources and scientific level of China, it is not suitable to build this kind of thing." Sitting in the car, Professor Li was not talking, he was thinking about Liao Yuanbai's words just now.I have to admit that what Liao Yuanbai said just now was quite correct. Judging from the current situation, even if Huaguo really built a hadron collider, it would be for nothing.

But Professor Li was very unwilling.It's not wrong, he is just very dissatisfied that Hua Guo lags behind other advanced countries in the research of tritium fuel.

Xiao Shi sat in front and didn't say anything.Listening to the conversation between the two, he knew it.There was an academic disagreement between Professor Li and Liao Yuanbai.It's about fusion... oh no, it's fusion energy.Speaking of it, he has never figured out why nuclear fusion is not only used as a thermonuclear weapon, but also as an energy source.Is there no danger of radiation?If the nuclear fusion had an accident, leaked or something went wrong, wouldn't it be... Thinking of this, Xiaoshi shook his body.

He has never seen scientists talk about how to effectively prevent nuclear leaks and accidents.

When he thought of this, he asked, "Professor Li, Xiao Liao. I want to ask, is this nuclear fusion energy really as good as you say? Besides, thermonuclear weapons are so dangerous. If there is any accident. Then Aren't the people and buildings around me suffering?"

Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips and smiled, Professor Li frowned, looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "Xiao Liao, please explain to Xiaoshi."

"Okay." Liao Yuanbai nodded, "The so-called nuclear fusion energy is to extract tritium fuel from a thermonuclear reaction. Tritium fuel is not like a thermonuclear reaction, which is extremely dangerous. The steps to extract tritium fuel are also the same as The reaction of nuclear weapons is different. There is no danger, tritium fuel is the cleanest energy, and it does not have any radioactive waste, so..." Liao Yuanbai raised his eyebrows.

Xiaoshi suddenly realized, "No wonder the country wants this kind of thing so much. It sounds perfect. I used to hear you talk about nuclear fusion energy, nuclear fusion energy. I thought... this kind of thing is scary, no Thinking about it, there is no danger." Xiaoshi smiled himself when he said this.

He was laughing at his ignorance and asked a seemingly stupid question.

Touching the bridge of his nose, Xiaoshi was not talking.It was almost dark when I returned to school, and it was originally dark in summer.After getting out of the car, Liao Yuanbai's stomach growled.Professor Li also went home, and he asked Liao Yuanbai to rest for a few days before going to the laboratory.After all, Liao Yuanbai is a human being, not a machine.He needed to rest. When he returned to his dormitory, Liao Yuanbai felt helpless.Opening the physics book, he read all the courses to be learned in the next semester, and it seemed that the courses for the next semester were quite simple.

In the end, Liao Yuanbai had to study biology by himself in the library and spend the few days of vacation.When he came to the laboratory, Professor Li asked with a smile, "Xiao Liao, how have you been playing these days?"

After being stunned for a moment, Liao Yuanbai replied, "I seem to be reading biology in the library these days."

"..." The corner of Professor Li's mouth twitched, nodded and said, "Well, after you change your clothes, it will still be the same as before. I will do the experiment, and you will record the data." Liao Yuanbai naturally agreed to Professor Li's request , the laboratory is boring.But for Liao Yuanbai, he is already at home in the laboratory.

When he finished his work, school had already started.Back in the classroom, he knew almost all the knowledge the teacher taught.In other words, Liao Yuanbai almost didn't go to lectures, but stayed in the laboratory every day.

For Liao Yuanbai, this semester passed quite quickly.Seeing that the final exam is about to expire, after this final exam.Liao Yuanbai's credits are almost finished, and he only needs to take the exam once before the summer vacation next year.He will be able to graduate. Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai still feels somewhat flattered.

After the Spring Festival, he will be 15 years old.This year, his body has not grown much taller, but his face has grown a bit.He is getting more and more handsome. Liao Yuanbai's appearance originally followed his mother's, a little feminine, lacking a bit of masculinity.And he stayed in the laboratory every day, without sunlight all the year round, and looked quite white and tender.

After the exam, Liao Yuanbai decided that he had to go home for the New Year this winter vacation.Unexpectedly, something unexpected disrupted his steps.

The original tritium fuel research project has reached a stage, and the next stage will naturally not start now.Because technology is not so advanced.Coincidentally, Liao Yuanbai has nothing to do now.He packed his salute and was about to walk out of the school gate to buy a train ticket home.

All the roommates left, leaving only Liao Yuanbai alone.Originally, Wu Fei wanted to invite Liao Yuanbai to his house for a while, but Wu Fei's girlfriend pestered him to go on a trip with him, so in the end the matter was dropped.

Walking out of the school gate, Mr. Song did not expect him to hold him back.Teacher Song's eyes seemed to be shining, "Liao Yuanbai, where are you going?" Seeing Teacher Song's excited appearance, Liao Yuanbai said helplessly, "I'm going home, the weather in the capital is too cold, I can't bear it .” It sounded like a complaint, but Liao Yuanbai was just saying it casually.Teacher Song didn't let go of his hand, he raised his eyebrows and said, "There are some things, the dean wants to find you."

"Is it the dean of our academy?" Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment, then looked at Mr. Song,

Unexpectedly, Mr. Song shook his head and said, "It's the dean of the School of Biology, come with me." Having said this, Mr. Song naturally let go of Liao Yuanbai's hand.

However, Liao Yuanbai became puzzled, what the hell is this? Why did the dean of the School of Biology suddenly want to find him?He remembered that his grades in biology this semester were excellent, why... did the dean of the School of Biology look for him? !Don't you think he cheated?But thinking about it, Liao Yuanbai felt that it was impossible.

Following Teacher Song, they walked to the dean's office of the School of Biology.Originally, almost all the teachers at Jinghua University were on vacation, leaving only some professors still doing experiments.Unexpectedly, the dean was still in the school. When he came to the office of the dean of the School of Biology, Mr. Song knocked on the door.

"Come in." A tough voice came from the dean's office. Liao Yuanbai pushed open the door and saw the dean of the School of Biology sitting on a chair in the office, looking at Liao Yuanbai. "Liao Yuanbai?" The dean of the School of Biology is an old man in his 60s. He looks energetic, and there are some books on the table.

Nodding his head, Liao Yuanbai turned his head and glanced outside the door. Teacher Song had already left.Pursing his lips, Liao Yuanbai said to the dean, "Hello, Dean Lin, I am Liao Yuanbai."

"Okay, it's really a boy born from a hero." Dean Lin said with a half-smile. Dean Lin was not originally a teacher of biology.He was only engaged in administration, and was later transferred to the School of Biology as the dean, and has been there for more than ten years.Sitting on the chair, Dean Lin said, "I have already read this issue of the scientific journal, and your idea is indeed very good. I was a little surprised when I heard that you were going to take biology as your second degree."

Dean Lin's expression became serious, "I always thought that you are a very talented student in mathematics and physics, and you shouldn't delay your talent by transferring to the School of Biology. I didn't expect you to do such a great job in the School of Biology. One thing." Yang raised the scientific journal in his hand, and Dean Lin continued, "You submitted the papers on the treatment of early and mid-term cancer to Nature, and you also know that these data will not be published if they have not undergone repeated experiments. come out. That is to say, your accuracy is extremely authoritative and reliable."

Liao Yuanbai was a little confused, he didn't know what Dean Lin wanted to say.He also knew that Dean Lin was not born in biology.

But why, Dean Lin can still be so boastful?

Besides, Liao Yuanbai almost forgot about this matter.Since he received the information passed by the scientific journal, he has not paid attention to this matter.Suddenly, Dean Lin brought up the old matter again.Liao Yuanbai had a hunch that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"By the way, Liao Yuanbai, please prepare. I mean, you should not be busy going home recently. I know, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. But—the school still has some arrangements for you." Dean Lin put down the book in his hand Said, "About your research, I think it is worth discussing. By the way, are you free tomorrow?"

Nodding his head, Liao Yuanbai really has nothing to do recently.But looking at Dean Lin's face, Liao Yuanbai just felt that Dean Lin seemed to be fooling himself.

"Well, the inspection team from Europe will arrive tomorrow, and I have to ask Xiao Liao to go with me to meet it." When Dean Lin said this, his face became intriguing, " Of course, this is also very beneficial to you."

Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips and didn't speak. He looked at Dean Lin, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

"Dean Lin, if you have anything to do, please speak up." Liao Yuanbai stood in the dean's office and looked at Dean Lin, his eyes full of doubt and incomprehension.

"Actually, it's nothing. The Tana company in Europe is coming to China to inspect the market. I think you may not know this company. It is a world-renowned pharmaceutical company. It says it is here to inspect the Chinese market, but it actually wants to talk to you. A deal." Dean Lin who was talking here smiled gently, "I don't think I need to tell you, you already know what it is."

"Patent?" Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a while, and then said, "You mean, the purpose of Tana Company coming to China is to want the patent in my hand?"

"That's right." Dean Lin knocked on the table and said slowly, "Although your paper has been published in a scientific journal, the specific data and formula are unknown to anyone except you. Because of this, Tana Company will come to China. Obviously Tana Company is very aware of the business opportunities.”

"Thank you, Dean." Liao Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief, he thought there was something wrong.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this matter. Seeing Liao Yuanbai's relaxed expression, Dean Lin laughed and said, "Little Liao, you don't think you can sell the patent so easily, do you?"

"Dean Lin, I don't know how to sell patents." Liao Yuanbai thought for a while and said, "I think that if Tana Company is sincere, they can cooperate with me. That is to say, they can exclusively represent my patented drugs. But it is impossible to buy my patent."

Liao Yuanbai is not stupid, he knows what a patent means better than anyone else.If it is just an exclusive representative, there will be a share every year.Looks like a lot less money, but in the long run.Especially to the extent that this drug is difficult to replicate, there will certainly not be an identical drug in the past few decades.Although he explained it very clearly in the paper, it is very difficult in practice.Especially if there is no formula... it is even more difficult.

Dean Lin was silent for a while, "Capitalists are not philanthropists, maybe they can't accept this condition."

"Who knows." But speaking of it, the people from Tana Company are quite energetic, and they were able to invite Dean Lin to tell him this matter.Liao Yuanbai thought for a while, and then asked, "Dean Lin, how did you know people from Tana Company?"

"Oh? This? Our Jinghua University and Tana Company have project contacts." Dean Lin spread his hands, "Especially in biology and medicine, the contacts are quite frequent. So... as a researcher of Tana Company After seeing your journal, some high-level executives called me to ask me about it. Tomorrow is the result of Tana’s long-term choice. First, they want to show their sincerity. Second, no To tell you the truth, they just want to buy out your patent. As for the matter of exclusive representation, Tana Company has never thought about it."

When talking about this, Dean Lin looked at Liao Yuanbai, "You may not know the background of Tana Company, but I can tell you. Tana Company is a multinational giant in the pharmaceutical industry. Their company is also very good at researching and developing drugs. It is good at it, and this company likes to buy out patents. Judging from previous cases, Tana does not seem to have such a thing as an exclusive representative."

"That's it." Liao Yuanbai nodded, "Thank you, Dean Lin for reminding." He bowed slightly, thanking Dean Lin for his reminder.

It seems that Tana Corporation came to China with the attitude of buying out the patent and not negotiating other matters.If this is the case, Liao Yuanbai can only say sorry to Tana Company.Moreover, he is still a minor, if he signs the document, it will not be effective.In other words, even if the conditions are negotiated, the guardian's signature is required.That is - his mother can only sign it, but in this case, he can't alarm his mother yet.

After all, it is not certain whether it can be negotiated with Tana Company.

Walking out of the dean's office, Liao Yuanbai saw Teacher Song waving at him from a distance.After walking over, Mr. Song patted Liao Yuanbai on the shoulder and said, "Little Liao, don't forget your mentor when you become developed." Saying this, Mr. Song pointed at himself.

Pressing the sour brows, Liao Yuanbai was in a mood of dumbfounding.This... Afterwards, Liao Yuanbai still nodded, and said very seriously, "It's not certain whether it will be successful, but we still have to meet tomorrow."

"Xiaobai, let me remind you of one thing." When he said this, Mr. Song had a funny face, but gradually became serious, "Don't sell it cheap for the little profit in front of you." I have obtained my own patent. I have read your paper, and even searched some news and reports on the Internet. Your paper is very innovative. I asked Mr. Xu from your School of Biology, your Ideas are difficult to copy. What I mean is that your formula is difficult to copy temporarily. I suggest that you can grant exclusive representative rights to Tana Company and get a share every year. You must not sell patents, I am Say, it must not be sold!"

"I know this. This drug cannot be copied. In other words, no one in this world can know how to make this formula except me. Therefore, I will not sell the patent to others. Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips and looked at Mr. Song.

From Liao Yuanbai's eyes, he saw a trace of calmness.Teacher Song breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Liao Yuanbai's clothes and said, "That's good, let's go."

The next morning, Liao Yuanbai got up very early.After breakfast in the cafeteria, Teacher Song led Dean Lin to find him.Dean Lin looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "I'm going to see the executives of Tana Company in a moment. Be careful and be firm. Otherwise, these people will take advantage of loopholes." Dean Lin didn't want to My students were deceived by people from Tana Company. Although Jinghua University and Tana Company have cooperation projects, they do not communicate frequently.

Besides, Liao Yuanbai is a student of Jinghua University, and he is always different from outsiders like Tana Company.

The car that came to pick up Dean Lin and Liao Yuanbai left the campus. Along the way, Dean Lin repeatedly told Liao Yuanbai to be careful with his words, and not let the people of Tana Company take advantage of any loopholes.

Liao Yuanbai is naturally clear. Although he has never been a business negotiator in his previous life, he is still clear about some of the truths.For example, during business negotiations, you must not let the other party see your loopholes.Negotiation is what it means to ask for a price and pay back the money on the ground.

Of course, that might be an exaggeration.But in Liao Yuanbai's imagination, this is what business negotiations look like.

When he came to the Capital Hotel and looked at the towering buildings, Liao Yuanbai couldn't help feeling that the power of science is really great.If there is no science, then all this is just a castle in the air.He meant, this huge building in front of him.

"Let's go." Dean Lin said softly beside Liao Yuanbai.

Following Dean Lin, Liao Yuanbai walked into the Capital Hotel step by step.When they reached the third floor, there were already people waiting for them.

Pushing open the door, Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment.This is a conference room. It seems that Tana Company really takes this matter very seriously.In such a high-end place as the Capital Hotel, they even rented a meeting room, which was specially used for negotiating patent matters.The leader was a blond foreigner in his 40s.

When he saw Dean Lin walking in, he stood up very enthusiastically and shook hands with Dean Lin and said, "Dean Lin, long time no see."

"Hank, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Dean Lin looked at the leader of the foreigner with a smile.Liao Yuanbai glanced at him and thought to himself, so this foreigner is called Hanke.

"Not so much." Hank shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Your students are really amazing. When we worked overtime in the company for two weeks, almost all of our topics were about you. The student is here. Oh, by the way, is he here today too?" As he was speaking, Hank looked at the door of the conference room expectantly.

"Of course." Dean Lin nodded. Hank's Chinese is very good, and Liao Yuanbai was also quite surprised by his correct and round voice.This guy is probably not an executive in China.Otherwise, why is Chinese so good?

Dean Lin pointed to the people around him and said, "Hank, let me introduce you. This is Liao Yuanbai. He is a junior student in our School of Biology, and he is the one who published a paper in a scientific journal." Speaking of this, Dean Lin raised his head proudly and looked at Hank.

"My God?" Hank exclaimed, "No way, so young? This is..." When he said this, Hank looked at Liao Yuanbai seriously, and he found that Liao Yuanbai seemed too young.

It was beyond his imagination, although he inquired from many sources and collected a lot of information.But he thought that Liao Yuanbai should be a young man in his early twenties, but he never thought that he was still so young.This doesn't look like a college student at all. According to Hua Guo, this is a middle school student at all.

Liao Yuanbai guessed correctly, Hanke was indeed the general manager of Huaguo District, but he has been transferred back to the headquarters for many years.Hesitation is obsessed with Huaguo culture, so Hanke's Chinese has always been very good.

"Let's sit down and talk." With emotion, Han pulled away the chairs in the conference room.Several other executives of Tana Company, you look at me, I look at you.It seems that they don't know what Hanke and Dean Lin are muttering about.There was a hint of embarrassment on their faces. There was really nothing they could do about Chinese.It is precisely because of this that the headquarters will send Hank as the head of the negotiating team.

After sitting down, Hank returned to his seat.In English, introduce the two people sitting across the conference room to these executives who do not understand Chinese.

After listening to the introduction, everyone seemed to be surprised by Liao Yuanbai's youth.Those compliments almost blow Liao Yuanbai to heaven.Of course, Liao Yuanbai just smiled lightly and didn't speak.He knew that this was to let him relax his vigilance.Sure enough, after these executives gave random compliments, they began to enter the formal style.

Hanke was the first to speak. He looked at Dean Lin and Liao Yuanbai and said, "Dear Mr. Liao, we have carefully studied your paper. We think your paper published in a scientific journal is feasible. Because of this, our Tana Company attaches great importance to this matter. So let our company's own research team conduct experiments according to the description in your paper. But without exception, they all failed."

"I think, is there something wrong with the experiment itself?" Speaking of this, Hank looked at Liao Yuanbai with a puzzled look, as if he was looking for an explanation.

Liao Yuanbai smiled and said, "Mr. Hanke, what steps do you think went wrong?"

"This..." Hank was stunned for a moment. He saw that Liao Yuanbai was still young, and if he slandered two sentences of the thesis, Liao Yuanbai would say something useful, but he didn't expect that Liao Yuanbai would ask back.After hesitating for a while, Hank shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about this. After all, this is a matter for the scientific research team, and I'm not in charge of that."

"So, Mr. Hank doesn't know what's wrong?" Liao Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, still smiling, but his expression was not very good, "From Mr. Hank's mouth, I seem to know two answers."

Hank looked at Liao Yuanbai, "I would like to hear more about it."

"First, the scientific research team of Tana Company does not seem to be professional. I even suspect that there are no professional talents in the scientific research team of Tana Company." When he said this, the smile on Hank's face gradually became awkward. "Secondly, Mr. Hanke seems to be talking nonsense. As an executive of Tana Company, shouldn't Mr. Hank pay attention to his words and deeds? Since he doesn't know, why did he say some misleading words? .”

"I heard that Mr. Hanke is obsessed with Chinese. I believe that Mr. Hank also knows that Chinese is profound. Especially on certain occasions, Mr. Hanke should not say such words." Liao Yuanbai Now there is no talk about patents, but work on Hank.

"This..." Hank was stunned for a while, and then he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liao, I think the words I used were wrong, which caused you to misunderstand. After all, I am a foreigner, please be more tolerant. "

"I can't talk about it. I found that Mr. Hank said other things, and his words are quite accurate." He hurt Hank without a trace, and Dean Lin looked like an old god beside him, as if he had entered a fantasy like.Hanke thought for a while before saying, "Well, Mr. Liao, let's get back to business."

At this time, Hank's face turned a little red. He is proficient in Chinese, so he naturally knew that what Liao Yuanbai said just now was hurting him.

"I think, in fact, Mr. Liao also knows why we came to you." Speaking of this, Hank didn't want to talk about other topics, and was going to go straight to the point and talk about the purchase of patents.

Liao Yuanbai looked at Hanke's serious eyes, and knew that he must say the right thing next, and his face became serious.Looking at Hank with piercing eyes, he nodded and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Hank."

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Hank looked at Liao Yuanbai with a serious face. "Mr. Liao, the purpose of our visit this time is very simple, to obtain your patent." When he said this, Hank stared straight at him, "I believe that Mr. Liao must have this kind of patent in his hand." The exclusive formula of the medicine, so please state your conditions. I think, as long as the price is reasonable, we can accept any conditions proposed by Mr. Liao."

"Oh?" Liao Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, "So, Mr. Hanke came prepared."

"That's natural." Hank raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if celebrating his victory in advance.

Liao Yuanbai also laughed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Hank.There was even a hint of drama in the facial expression, he said softly.
