In the Royal Institute of Technology, there are many geniuses, but there is really no third super genius like Lin Hui, as for why it is not said that there is no second one, because there is another super genius, Chen Ziran, head of the Department of Physics and Materials of the Royal Institute of Technology.

It's hard to say which of these two people is more powerful, because they are both super awesome people, and they are good at a wide range of things, although Lin Hui is the head of the mechanical department, but he is most proficient in theoretical physics, as for mechanical engineering is just his hobby.

Unfortunately, Chen Ziran is also best at theoretical physics, and many of his achievements that are known to outsiders, that is, materials science such as steel, are just his hobbies, and he also has a very deep study of chemistry.

Well, no matter what era it is, few people who play theoretical physics are simple characters, and these two people are not simple.

Also, because both of them are mainly studying theoretical physics, but there is only one director of physics, and both of them go to grab it, naturally no one can grab it, and in the end, they simply let a junior become the head of the physics department, and one of them occupies the mechanical department, and the other occupies the materials department, and no one obeys anyone.

Putting aside Chen Ziran, Lin Hui's words, although he mainly studies theoretical physics, he is actually the first person in mechanics in the Tang Empire, so he has been serving as the core project of the Department of Mechanics for more than ten years: the leader of the steam engine project team, leading the researchers of the Royal Institute of Technology, to come up with the steam engine, from the original steam engine at the beginning, to the mature low-pressure steam engine that can be popularized and applied to industry on a large scale, and then to the current high-pressure steam engine.

To put it mildly, he alone supported the research and development of the steam engine of the Tang Empire!

With such achievements, it is not surprising that he was awarded a series of honors by Li Xuan.

Although Liu Ping is the general manager of Zhaoqing Machinery Company, when he is outside, it can be regarded as the No. 1 task, when Zhaoqing Machinery Company decided to invest in Shanghai and establish a production base in the North Shore Development Zone, even local star officials such as Chen Lifu had to accompany him with a smiling face.

But in the Royal Institute of Technology, his identity and title are useless, he can't even see Lin Hui's face, not only today, but he has never succeeded in seeing......

In desperation, he could only find the teaching office of the Royal Institute of Technology as usual, trying to find out the news, and then preemptively take down the patent for the new high-pressure steam engine.

So he took a lot of trouble to find Hao Tianyun, the director of the teaching office of the Royal Institute of Technology, and Hao Tianyun, the director of the teaching office, was much easier to deal with than those teachers and students.

One by one, Lord Hao shouted out, which made Hao Tianyun smile!

Then he listened to Hao Tianyun and said: "Brother Liu, what are you here for today, I can also guess, isn't it just to patent the new steam engine, this is simple, we Royal Institute of Technology have always welcomed partners who purchase patent licensing, whether it is a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, we welcome it!" ”

"And our Royal Institute of Technology and your Zhaoqing Machinery Company have been cooperating for so many years, and there are dozens of cooperative projects, not to mention a new type of steam engine, so as long as your company shows sincerity, I am in charge, and this patent authorization will be given to your company!"

Hearing Hao Tianyun's promise so refreshingly, Liu Ping was a little skeptical, Hao Tianyun would not know the importance of this high-pressure steam engine? Joke.

This Hao Tianyun has been serving at the Royal Institute of Technology for nearly ten years, and he has been the director of the teaching department for three years, he knows very well what technology is worth, and he is also an old fritter, almost no oil and water, this person does not accept any bribes and other benefits, he just wants money, why do you want money?

Funding for the madmen at the Royal Institute of Technology!

Meeting the R&D funding needs of those madmen at the Royal Institute of Technology is the most important, if not the only, mission of Hao Tianyun, how will the money come from? Relying on treasury allocations? No, the Tang Empire has never had a precedent for direct appropriation to the Royal Institute of Technology, and all of this money is obtained by relying on licensing technology licensing fees.

The Royal Institute of Technology has to lie on the body of many domestic enterprises every year and suck countless blood!

Let countless domestic enterprises love and hate!

In the past cooperation between Zhaoqing Machinery Company and Royal Institute of Technology, which time was not bitten down by this old guy with a big bite of fat, today is so happy, it must be greasy!

Sure enough, when he asked how much sincerity was needed, Hao Tianyun said with a smile: "This steam engine is a long-term business, so it won't be bought out at one time, so ah, we are thinking that one part of the early payment will be made, and the other part will be divided, and the specific amount depends on the sincerity of your company!"

Liu Ping thought about it for a while, and then said: "If the new steam engine can indeed be used for mass production, then our company is willing to pay 50,000 yuan at one time, and then give you a 10% profit share for each steam engine produced!" ”

After Hao Tianyun heard this, he laughed, and did not answer directly, but said: "I don't know if Lord Liu knows, how much money we have invested in the past ten years in order to develop this damn high-pressure steam engine?" ”

When Liu Ping heard this, he knew that this matter was probably beyond his expectations, but he still replied: "How much?" ”

Hao Tianyun said: "You can guess!"

Liu Ping said: "Two hundred thousand? No, half a million? ”

After hearing this, Hao Tianyun suddenly stood up, and then said, "500,000? That's a fraction at most, in order to make this high-pressure steam engine, our Royal Institute of Technology has allocated more than 3 million yuan to the project team in the past ten years! ”

Hao Tianyun naturally won't say that most of this money is actually used in the research and development of basic technologies such as various materials, processing technology, equipment, etc., and the steam engine project itself can't spend so much, well, the research and development funds of the steam engine also include the research and development and improvement of the low-pressure steam engine.

But Liu Ping didn't know, so when he heard this number, Liu Ping was dumbfounded......

Crazy, it's all a bunch of crazy people!

I've long heard that the Royal Institute of Technology is full of crazy people, but I didn't expect it to be!

In order to develop a broken machine and smash more than 3 million yuan, the total profit of their Zhaoqing Machinery Company in the past ten years is not so much, and even a few poor provinces, such as Gansu and Northeast China, have not had so much financial income in a year!

It is understandable that Lin Hui's scientific researchers are crazy, after all, there are few normal teachers and students at the Royal Institute of Technology, but this Hao Tianyun is not a scientific researcher, and he is not even a member of the group of teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology, he is a civil official.

The Royal Institute of Technology has two systems, one is the research and teaching institution within the college, with the committee composed of the heads of each department, and then the subordinate project teams, as well as the internal management of grade leaders at all levels, class leaders, teachers and students, and the allocation of research funds.

Another system is the Teaching Office, and this Teaching Office is purely a logistics organization, sent by the Hanlin Academy to serve in various positions, the early task is actually to take care of the daily life of teachers and students, and later expanded to manage the various technologies developed by the Royal Institute of Technology, through various patent licensing to earn funds, and then meet the daily operation of the Royal Institute of Technology and scientific research needs, but to put it bluntly, it is the role of the housekeeper nanny.

These officials, no matter what, are still officials, and they can't compare with those crazy people who are teachers and students.

But today, it seems that this Hao Tianyun is also a madman!

More than three million, just for a high-pressure steam engine, this is simply a neurosis!

To get back the more than 3 million R&D costs, how much patent licensing fees do they have to charge? Neither a million nor two million estimates are possible.

The gap between the two sides is too big to talk about at all!

Liu Ping simply didn't plan to get a breakthrough from Hao Tianyun, this person was a vampire, and he probably wouldn't be willing to bite off a large piece of meat from his company.

Besides, the development of a high-pressure steam engine is just a rumor, and he Liu Ping has not seen it with his own eyes, to be honest, he still doesn't believe it anymore.

Their Zhaoqing Machinery Company is not without a steam engine research and development project, but they know very well how difficult it is, and their company's technicians say that it is almost impossible to build a high-pressure steam engine with current technology.

He's ready to see it with his own eyes before he makes plans!

Besides, even if it is really done, when the time comes, a certain amount of pressure will be exerted in the army, the Ministry of Industry and other departments, and I am not afraid that the Royal Institute of Technology will authorize the technology of the high-pressure steam engine.

Because looking at the entire empire, there are only three or four machinery companies that have the technical ability to mass-produce steam engines, and their Zhaoqing Machinery Company is the best in terms of production technology and scale.

When the time comes, if you want to turn the high-pressure steam engine from the laboratory into a mass-produced industrial product, you still can't do without their Zhaoqing Machinery Company.

Just sit firmly on the Diaoyutai by yourself and let Hao Tianyun's more than three million get out!

They are all crazy people at the Royal Institute of Technology, and they spent more than three million yuan to build a steam engine, but they are not crazy people in Zhaoqing Machinery Company, and it is impossible to spend millions just to obtain the technology of a high-pressure steam engine.

Liu Ping was thinking about how to obtain the technical authorization of the high-pressure steam engine at the lowest cost, and Li Xuan's convoy also arrived at the Royal Institute of Technology!

The Royal Institute of Technology is not far from the palace annex, both of which are in the old city of Jinling, so it won't take long, otherwise Li Xuan would not be able to inspect it often.

Although the campus today is completely different from the old campus, the entire campus is huge, with many buildings, and there are more than 1,000 teachers and students engaged in teaching, research and development, and hundreds of teaching staff who serve these teachers and students.

Li Xuan led people directly over the outer campus and went straight to the building where the steam engine project team was located!
