After chatting with Lu Qingzhou, Chen Nian's first-stage layout was basically completed.
Metallic hydrogen, nuclear power, plus a nuclear submarine to enhance strategic deterrence capabilities.
These things will become the first key to unlocking the overall science and technology situation in the near future, and after that, Chen Nian will gradually extend his technological tentacles to agriculture, medical care, and advanced industries, completely opening the door to comprehensive transcendence.
However, Chen Nian also knew that these things should not be rushed.
While constantly exporting technology, he is also using Spark's resources to absorb knowledge at an unprecedented speed and intensity.
The content of materials science is extensive and profound, and the more he learns, the more he feels his ignorance. Even if he has some achievements in a certain field, he will face many tests when he moves to the next field.
There is no such thing as "lay the foundation and everything will fall into place".
Just like now, after switching to materials resistant to neutron irradiation, he felt that his brain was running out of energy.
Even for the entire world, materials resistant to neutron irradiation are a very new topic. There are not many technologies available for reference, and the theoretical foundation is relatively weak.
Therefore, Chen Nian chose to directly analyze a material that will become more popular in later generations, namely CLAM anti-neutron radiation steel.
Relying on this material and the technology provided by the system, Chen Nian plans to focus on reverse engineering in the future to consolidate his knowledge system and improve learning efficiency.
Of course, the technology itself will not be wasted, and the piping system of the thorium-based molten salt reactor can be put to good use.
Diligence, frugality and revolution are most vividly demonstrated here in Chen Nian.
Not a single source point is wasted, and I even wish that a source point would have double its value.
I guess if there was a designer for this system, they would have been stunned by Chen Nian’s search.
Of course, Lu Qingzhou was even more surprised.
The day before, he told Chen Nian that the material problem was difficult to solve. The next day, Chen Nian gave him a technical plan for manufacturing CLAM steel, which even included a project that had just been proposed internationally, had not yet been explored, and had not even been explored yet. Gradient nanostructure strengthening technology with incomplete theoretical foundation.
With the help of this technology, the surface strength and radiation resistance of CALM steel will be further improved. Although it is not known how much the specific data performance can be improved, it is obvious that it will not be a small number.
As a result, the entire project was launched in an extremely smooth process.
The initial design standards for the 216 reactor were overturned. Lu Qingzhou lowered the importance of the 216 reactor to a secondary level without any distress, and began to invest most of the resources in the new thorium-based molten salt reactor.
Everything is changing for the better.

Of course, it’s not just about projects.
Chang'an, NPU.
Liu Hai walked silently in this campus that he was once very familiar with, and the emotion in his heart could no longer be described in words.
He still remembered that when he walked into this campus a few years ago, his impression of it was still a "shabby old school."
But after several years of development, the appearance of this school has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Various buildings have been given a new look, and the level of greening has been greatly improved. Even the faces of the students walking on the road are different from those he has seen before.
It seems that in this school, the only person who has not changed is himself.
A few years later, I am still doing my job.
To put it nicely, I am a "headhunting consultant".
To put it bluntly, he is a broker who resells talents.
However, unlike before, the people he serves have changed.
He no longer recruits talents for Senas Company, because that company has already withdrawn from the Chinese market due to some complicated reasons.
The public statement is that they believe that the Chinese market is too small and unable to meet the company's development needs.
But in Liu Hai's opinion, this reason is pure nonsense.
China is small?
If this is considered small, there will be no large-scale market in the world.
Furthermore, when you were recruiting people for expansion, didn't you always say that the market potential here is endless?
Are you turning your back on me now? Are you treating what you said as farts?
It has to be said that Liu Hai has a grudge against Senas.
When they needed themselves, they praised themselves higher than anyone else, as if they were their saviors, and without them, the company's business would not be able to function.
But when the business changed and they no longer needed them, they kicked themselves away like a dog, without considering their own development after leaving the industry, nor taking into account any previous cooperation between the two parties.
They call this the "spirit of contract," but in Liu Hai's view, this is just the cold-bloodedness of capitalists.
What makes him even more uncomfortable is that after leaving Senas, he did not have any good development for a long time.
Although I can occasionally get one or two jobs to make a living, compared to the peak of the year, it can be said that it is a world away.
Times have changed.
This is the biggest feeling about bangs.
In the past few years, most of the projects he has done are still projects for foreign companies, but he clearly feels that compared with a few years ago, the attractiveness of foreign companies in China is declining significantly.
He also analyzed the reasons and finally concluded that the root cause of this phenomenon is actually not complicated.
On the one hand, external economic pressure has increased, and salary levels in foreign companies have been decreasing year by year, while wages in local companies have been rising year by year, because the attractiveness of economic benefits has become more and more equal.
On the other hand, it is the explosive improvement of domestic scientific research level.
Not to mention the aviation field in which it is good at, including heavy industry, machinery, railways, semiconductors and almost all high-tech fields, China has shown jaw-dropping potential and strength in recent years.
Therefore, those freshly graduated college students are more willing to choose local companies, because they know very well that there is still a big gap between being satisfied for three years and being satisfied for a lifetime.
Bangs had nothing to do about their choice.
He can only work harder, hone his speaking skills, and try to improve the success rate of invitations.
However, under the torrent of changes in the general environment, no matter how hard Liu Hai works, there are actually very few things that can be changed.
Just like this time, even though he felt that he had exerted his strongest strength, the candidate still only gave an ambiguous answer, and even asked him to go to NPU for an interview before making a decision.
If it were a few years ago, this request would not only have been rejected by Liu Hai on the spot, but even the candidates would have been ridiculed by him.
But things are different now. Under the pressure of life, Liu Hai can only humbly come to NPU, intending to work harder for his "20,000 yuan per head" reward.
The meeting place was at a coffee shop near the new cafeteria. Liu Hai searched for it for twenty minutes before finding it.
After sitting down, he waited for another half an hour before the candidate named Bu Kai arrived late.
Liu Hai stood up, with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically extended his hand to Bu Kai, who also smiled in response.
"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, for keeping you waiting. I happened to have an interview call over there, so I was delayed for a little while."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's graduation season. It's normal to be busy with interviews."
Liu Hai didn't dare to show any displeasure, but instead put on a considerate look.
Bu Kai was extremely satisfied with this. The two of them sat down one after another. After chatting for a few words, Liu Hai tentatively asked:
"Xiao Kai, how do you think about the opportunity we talked about before?"
"You know, this position is not always available. If time passes, it will be difficult to queue up again."
"I'm doing it for your own good now. Even if you're still hesitating, I'll take the offer first. We'll tell you later whether you go or not."
After hearing his words, Bu Kai shook his head and said solemnly:
"Brother Liu, you can't say that."
"I am still a fresh graduate. When looking for a job, you need to sign a three-party contract. If you sign now and you are not satisfied and want to change companies later, it will be a big trouble."
"So, I still have to think about it carefully."
"Besides, the opportunity you have is not too good for me. To be honest, it's not particularly attractive."
"Isn't this good enough?"
Liu Hai asked in surprise.
Afterwards, he quickly realized his gaffe, so he adjusted his mood and said calmly:
"I don't know how much you know about semiconductors, but Qualcomm can be said to be the strongest semiconductor company in the world."
"Just last year, the latest S1 chip they launched can be said to have directly broken TI's monopoly in the field of mobile application processors and paved the way for the company's subsequent development."
"This is what you studied, and you should also know what the 65nm processor is."
"In a word, the research and development they engage in is the research and development of the most advanced semiconductor technology in the world."
"Even if you don't consider your personal financial returns, choosing Qualcomm is very wise."
Opposite Bu Kai nodded noncommittally, but then a trace of imperceptible disdain appeared on his face.
After a pause for a few seconds, he answered:
"To say that Qualcomm is the most advanced chip company, this evaluation is definitely biased."
"Let's not mention the technologies of Apple and Samsung in the field of application processors. Let's take the domestic SMIC as an example. They announced the 40nm process technology last year."
"And, according to their predictions, as long as the problems with the lithography machine are solved, they can move the application chip to the 20nm level in the shortest possible time."
"This short period of time will definitely not exceed two years."
"Brother Liu, can you understand what I mean?"
"What I mean is that not only is the current Qualcomm not considered the 'strongest', it is even still a generation behind SMIC."
Liu Hai nodded silently and did not answer immediately.
In fact, regardless of technology, Liu Hai knew that Qualcomm could not beat SMIC, even if it was just analyzed from the perspective of industry development, and he was a little uneasy about speaking out of conscience.
But the problem is, this is what I rely on to eat. Even if I tell lies with my eyes open, I have to get to the bottom of it.
So, he continued:
"SMIC's current strength is indeed very strong, but you also know that their business is newly developed."
"The process is not fully understood, the management is relatively extensive, and even the salary is only half of Qualcomm's."
"Look, we are all ordinary people. When we think about problems, we can't be too macroscopic. We have to consider ourselves."
"Qualcomm's salary of RMB 17,000 and SMIC's salary of more than RMB 5,000 are quite different, right?"
Bu Kai smiled and asked:
"How many years can Qualcomm's salary of 17,000 last?"
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Hai was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"What I mean is that Qualcomm's current high wages are entirely based on their technology monopoly."
"But what if one day, their technology monopoly is completely broken?"
"Not only the mobile application processor technology, but also other storage, wireless, transmission and even the monopoly on 'industry standards' have been completely broken?"
"At that time, will they be able to maintain such high wages?"
“What should I do if I can’t maintain it or even lay off employees?”
"You know, you have to sign a non-competition agreement to join this kind of company. I don't want to be held up by it for the rest of my life."
".But the possibility you described won't actually happen in the short term, right?"
Liu Hai's tone was a little hesitant. He was not that familiar with the semiconductor industry. If it weren't for making money, he would not take up this job.
"That's not necessarily true. It might take 10 years, it might take five years, or it might only take one year."
"In short, this choice is not safe. If we can't get more preferential conditions, it is really difficult for me to consider choosing Qualcomm."
At this point, Bu Kai's intention was also exposed.
To put it bluntly, it’s a bargain.
Liu Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party is willing to counteroffer, there is still a chance.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"Within my personal authority, I can tell you that the ceiling for this position is 20,000."
"If you go any further, there won't be much possibility - of course, I can also say some good words for you and try my best to get it."
"Twenty thousand is still not enough."
Liu Hai frowned and continued:
"If you perform outstandingly in subsequent technical aspects, you can also apply to join the equity incentive plan, which is not a small number."
"It's still not enough."
".Signing bonus, this is the last condition I can apply for."
"At least, you have to go see me, and I will do my best to help you push it."
Bu Kai's firm expression finally began to loosen, but the bangs on the opposite side were so nervous that they were about to collapse.
This is really all he can throw out.
If such conditions still can't impress the other party, then I really have no other choice.
For more than a month, I called every day to inquire about my intentions and inquire about my welfare. I worked hard to learn and absorb knowledge about semiconductors, and specifically studied Bukai's interests and hobbies.
All he did was to close the relationship with the other party and increase the chance of his invitation being successful by a few percentage points.
He thinks that he has done everything he can, and even the top headhunter may not be able to do it better than himself.
This time, it should be successful, right?
Liu Hai looked at the other party expectantly, but just when Bu Kai was about to speak, the phone he put aside suddenly rang.
Bu Kai answered the phone, and a man's voice came from the other end.
"Hello?"
"Yes, I am Bu Kai."
"SMIC strategy team? Nanniwan project? I have no problem!"
"Yes, completely acceptable!"
"Then let's meet and chat! Thank you!"
After a few words, Bu Kai hung up the phone.
Then, he looked up at Liu Hai apologetically and said:
"Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I won't consider this opportunity."
Liu Hai nodded numbly. From the moment the call was connected, he knew that he had no chance.
Don’t get it easily when others only need a phone call to get what you have worked so hard for.
Such a sense of disparity made his mood hit rock bottom.
Seemingly noticing Liu Hai's expression, Bu Kai hesitated for a moment and continued:
"Brother Liu, I think your job is not quite right."
"Of course some people in foreign companies are willing to go, but there are really not many people who are serious about scientific research."
"You also know that in terms of scientific research strength, we are still not as good as foreign companies, but if we look at the potential, I am afraid no one can compete with us."
"The facts of the past two years are enough to illustrate the problem. If you continue to fight like this, there will be no results."
"I have an idea, do you want to listen?"
"Then just listen."
Bangs replied with a sigh.
"We need talents now. Look, you can introduce people to foreign companies, why can't you bring people from outside to us?"
Bangs was stunned.
At this moment, he felt like he was enlightened.
Yes, why do we have to go against the market and the general environment?
Why can't we think differently?
Indeed, talent introduction is also a good route
He immediately made a decision in his mind.
However, at this moment, he could never imagine that long in the future, his decision would make him the most famous "human trafficker" in the world.
