Long Ke said,
In the director's office.
Fu Zhiyuan sat in front of his desk. After resting for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze flickered.
He picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.
Not long after, he heard a human voice call. At his level, the phone call was naturally highly confidential.
Every phone call from the office had to go through a strict manual investigation to prevent eavesdropping.
" Please connect me to the person in charge of the research department, Ji Chengtian. Department Ji…"
Dragon Science University was under the dual leadership of the Dragon Country's Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Science and Technology, so it was reasonable to call the person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology directly.
Furthermore, in terms of administrative level, Fu Zhiyuan was only half a level lower than Ji Chengtian.
The Dragon Country's Ministry of Science and Technology,
In the meeting room.
At this moment, an intense discussion was going on.
Ever since the launch of the 'Zhuang Ba' carrier rocket failed, the Research Department had held many meetings to discuss the next plan.
Everyone had different opinions. Some suggested increasing funding to support further research, while others suggested temporarily delaying the plan. After the controllable nuclear fusion technology matured, they could directly use controllable nuclear fusion to develop a new aerospace engine.
The Ministry of Science and Technology was also divided into two factions. They kept arguing about whether to continue investing in the 'Strong Eight' project or invest in the controllable nuclear fusion space engine first. It was difficult to determine who was better.
Although the Dragon Country's national strength was very strong now, the funds invested in scientific research were also limited. It was impossible to ignore the people's livelihood in order to develop high-tech.
After all, the research and development of science and technology were essentially to serve the people!
At this moment, Ji Chengtian's secretary jogged in from outside the door and whispered a few words into Ji Chengtian's ear before handing him an encrypted satellite phone.
The big shots from the Ministry of Science and Technology stopped arguing and waited for Ji Chengtian to finish his call.
After all, the Ministry of Science and Technology was in charge of the research and development of all the technologies in the Dragon Country. It was a relatively busy department, so it was not forbidden to leave the meeting or answer the phone during the meeting.
At this moment, Ji Chengtian directly chose to answer the call in the meeting room because the smell of gunpowder in the meeting room was getting stronger and stronger. He had the intention of easing the atmosphere a little.
A peaceful discussion would lead to a better outcome.
Hello, I'm Ji Chengtian!"
Immediately, only Ji Chengtian's voice remained in the meeting room. Everyone else held their breaths.
"Old Fu, what's the matter?"
They were all the few remaining veterans in the Dragon Country's scientific research community, so he was no stranger to Fu Zhiyuan.
"It's like this. I want to apply for a billion yuan in funds."
Fu Zhiyuan's voice came from the phone.
"One billion?"
Ji Chengtian frowned slightly. Although one billion wasn't a big number to the Ministry of Science and Technology and could only be considered a small number, it was still approved without any hesitation. Ji Chengtian immediately replied.
"Didn't Dragon Science and Technology University already approve 8 billion in research funding this year? Why?"
"It's like this. Tang Zhenli has started a new research again."
Fu Zhiyuan pondered for a while and said slowly.
In fact, 300 million yuan was only the highest authority he had as the dean of Dragon Science University. Therefore, he wanted to apply for more funds for Tang Zhenli. Although he did not know what Tang Zhenli's research project was going to be, his instincts told him that it must be another big project that attracted worldwide attention.
Ji Chengtian's expression changed when he heard that. A trace of doubt rose in his heart. Then, he thought of Tang Zhenli's face. He tapped his hand on the table lightly and pondered for a moment.
On the other end, Fu Zhiyuan seemed to know that Ji Chengtian was considering it, so he held his breath and did not say anything.
"Alright, the one billion scientific research funds will be received as soon as possible!”
Following Ji Chengtian's words, he also decided on the matter.
Fu Zhiyuan was shocked. After hanging up, the discussion in the conference room continued.
"Chief Ji, didn't Dragon Science and Technology receive the eight billion yuan in research funding this year? How come now?"
At this moment, a big shot from the Ministry of Science and Technology sitting at the bottom of the meeting room said.
He was in charge of the management of the Ministry of Science and Technology's research funds and was known as the God of Wealth of the Ministry of Science and Technology!
Therefore, he was one of the people who opposed the continuation of the 'Strong Eight' project. In his opinion, the most important thing was to develop a new engine for the controllable nuclear fusion device.
Once the controllable nuclear fusion device's aerospace engine was successfully developed, the obstacle to the 'Strong Eight' project would naturally be solved.
The research funding was already tight. Even if it was one billion, he had to take it to heart.
Just as Ji Chengtian was about to speak, he saw a fund application form slowly appear on his computer.
There were no research projects or anything like that.
Only the name of the project leader was written impressively
'Tang Zhenli'.
The big shots of the Ministry of Science and Technology were slightly stunned. Even the God of Fortune was slightly stunned at this moment, but he did not say anything else.
One billion yuan did not seem to be a small amount, but it was a drop in the bucket for the Dragon Country's annual scientific research funds.
Especially for the research and development funds invested in controllable nuclear fusion devices
Before Tang Zhenli, the Dragon Country had invested more than 100 billion in the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion. If Tang Zhenli had not succeeded in the research and development, this number would have been even greater!
As the chief engineer of the controllable nuclear fusion device, Tang Zhenli was the biggest contributor!
This would undoubtedly save the Dragon Country and the Ministry of Science and Technology a lot of money.
In layman's terms, a mere one billion yuan was not worth mentioning compared to the scientific research funds that Tang Zhenli had saved for them.
That was why the big shots did not say anything after seeing that the project leader was Tang Zhenli, even though the research project list was blank!
"Any objections?"
Ji Chengtian looked at the expressions of everyone around him and said calmly.
One billion was not a lot for a former person in charge of the controllable nuclear fusion device!
Of course, Ji Chengtian and the other big shots from the Ministry of Science and Technology also had a hint of compensation in mind.
Of course, Tang Zhenli's reward would not be small. However, considering Tang Zhenli's age, there were more departments that needed to be discussed together.
After all, Tang Zhenli had made such a huge contribution. One billion yuan in research funding was just a small matter.
Moreover, this was for research purposes, so they were tactful and did not object.
They couldn't let the country's talents who had made great contributions to the country be disappointed!
However, this matter could only be considered a small interlude.
After some adjustments, they continued to discuss the necessity of the plan.
