Marvel's Return of the Inventor

Yuzhou, northern suburbs.

Temporary Research Institute of the American Quantum Team in China, Conference Hall.

"Academician Williams, you have been discussing for three days, and there should be a result today."

Three days ago, a group of investment representatives headed by Bradley arrived in Yuzhou and provided a different direction for the current research direction of the quantum team.

Although it is only used as a reference, these consortiums invest hundreds of millions in R&D for the quantum team every year. As long as their suggestions are not messed up, they cannot be completely ignored.

What's more, what Bradley and others brought was the result of discussions with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the United States, referred to as darpa, is an administrative agency under the Department of Defense of the United States. It is mainly responsible for the research and development of high-tech for military purposes. It has the title of the "real-life S.H.I.E.L.D." of the United States.

However, it is worth noting that although Darpa is named the Research Project Agency, it is not a department known for research and development. It is more like a department that invests in potential high-tech and provides technical reserves for the United States.

It can be roughly summarized as the Strategic Investment Department.

Since CERN disclosed the quantum fluctuation information near Yuzhou, China, the United States immediately sent a quantum elite team to China. At the same time, darpa held many seminars on this incident, and Bradley and his team Before coming to China, another technology competition plan was discussed.

In the United States, industrial giants such as Rockwell and General Electric, departments such as Darpa, and scientists in various related fields can be said to be inextricably linked and extremely complex.

Academician Williams, the leader of the American quantum team, has extremely high authority and reputation in the United States and even the world. This time he came to China with the attention of the American scientific community. Darpa wants to suddenly change its plan. What is the best way? Just let investors like Bradley go there in person and act as peacemakers.

"We accept that starting from today, the research data of the quantum radar project will be transferred to the local area, and the team will start to switch to quantum entanglement, but there are two conditions, and you must agree."

Academician Williams nodded. In the past three days, the team has conducted an in-depth analysis of the suggestions brought by Darpa Bradley.

Since there has been no substantial progress in the research and development of quantum radar, and it is inevitable to lag behind the European and Chinese parties, it is a good idea to find a unique path.

The biggest disagreement in the past few days has mainly focused on the transfer of research materials.

Needless to say, the determination of various countries to develop quantum radars. After the data is transferred back to the country and handed over to the local team, in terms of team honor, it means that the team led by Academician Williams has been busy in vain during this period.

Naturally, there are various voices within the team. The reason why they were able to unify their differences in three days must be praised for Academician Williams' ability to lead the team.

"please say."

Academician Williams is neither an entrepreneur nor a politician, but a scientist.

Therefore, Bradley believes that whether it is the force he represents or the planning bureau, they will fully support his request as long as it is within the scope of his ability.

"First, we need additional R&D funding, which is initially estimated to be US$400 million."

With that said, Academician Williams handed over an estimated bill, and Bradley nodded in agreement without even looking at it.

It’s only 400 million US dollars. Bradley is also a cultural person after all. The concept of quantum entanglement is not unfamiliar to him. Regardless of whether such a major scientific research project succeeds or not, he can’t wait to have Rockwell exclusively sponsor it. .

"Second, because quantum entanglement has always been a conceptual product, and the research focus suddenly shifts to it, I need to ask the Academy of Sciences for another person."

"Dr. Oxton"

Bradley is so smart. Anyone who knows something about the domestic scientific research community in the United States knows who has been the most popular person in the quantum field and nanotechnology in recent years.

More than one person has said that Dr. Oxton will be America's brightest scientific star in the next few decades.

When hiring foreign aid, of course you have to hire the strongest.

"I can't make the decision."

Dr. Oxton did not come to China this time. It is said that he was involved in a more important or at least equally important research project and couldn't escape.

Bradley is just the prince of a consortium. He does business, donates money, manipulates votes, and is a Hollywood female star. How could he be such a master?

"Mr. Bradley, if you bring this message to Catherine in person, I believe she will come."

"what words"

"Without you, the quantum entanglement project would not be possible."

After speaking, Academician Williams stood up and left the table.

......

At 5:47 pm Huadu time, Guan Ju gave Ding Sheng a number through running estimates.

"121 billion"

Ding Sheng opened his mouth wide. With Guan Ju's ability, he shouldn't confuse Japanese yen, Korean won, Zimbabwe, etc. with monetary units like r."

I have been busy for a few days in vain, and I still need to pay more than 3 billion yuan.

Wo said.

"...This is just a rough estimate, it may fluctuate around one billion." Guan Ju continued, with a vague flavor of expansion in his words.

After hearing this, Ding Sheng was really filled with dark things.

"Okay, the research and development of the Ark reactor will follow the procedures. After the Ministry of Space-Time Science and Technology is completed, I will find a way to make money."

Before this, Ding Sheng had indeed estimated his investment in the Ark reactor. Although this result was a bit unexpected, it was still acceptable.

After all, a large part of the cost this time was invested in industrial upgrading from scratch. Once the foundation is laid, it will be much cheaper to build the Ark reactor later.

Of course, no matter how cheap it is, the price of 100 million cannot be avoided.

Next, Ding Sheng concentrated on the experiment to solve the palladium poisoning. At the same time, he waited for major industrial state-owned enterprises to update their production lines and manufacture the required equipment. He occasionally took time to solve the tasks assigned to him by Dean Song Lizhang. His days went like this day by day. past.

Soon, it was mid-to-late April.

The results of the Robot International Cup have been released. "Dabai", the health consultant of the Chinese University of Science and Technology team, won the third place in the world with a comprehensive score of 87.01 points, creating the best result since the Chinese University of Science and Technology participated in the cup.

And Dabai, with his cute and naive image, became famous in the field of robotics and spread throughout the scientific field. He successively appeared in the publications of science and nature. Then, with the popularization and vigorous promotion of more media magazines, Dabai began to gradually go global. .

"Hello Mr. Ding, this is Disney Marvel Studios. We are purchasing the film and television rights of Baymax and bringing it into the Marvel family."

"Hello Mr. Ding, this is Hasbro, we hope to obtain the toy manufacturing copyright of Baymax..."

"Hello Mr. Ding, this is..."

"Mr. Ding...
