For scientific research, the state's support is indeed unambiguous.

Whether it is really to not delay the time of Lu Zhou, or to let the leaders see that they are working hard, the day after the end of the meeting with Lu Lao, Lu Zhou received a call from Liu Shuji.

It’s also very interesting to say that Lu Zhou and the Liu Shuji have met each other, and they can count one hand, but every time they meet, Liu Shuji can easily create the illusion that they are very familiar. .

After a few words from the guest, Liu Shuji had a date with him on the phone.

In the afternoon, Lu Zhou saw the secretary of Liu Shuji, Zhao Zhengye, a man with glasses and a very gentle look.

"Hello, Professor Lu, I am Zhao Zhengye, the secretary of Liu Shuji. You can call me Xiao Zhao." He and Lu Zhou shook hands, and Secretary Zhao was polite.

After loosening his hand, Lu Zhou smiled and said: "You are bigger than me. I want you to be suitable for Xiao Zhao, or call Zhao Secretary."

"That's what you said," Secretary Zhao smiled and made a gesture of asking, "Please come here."

Driving the boat to the side of the high-tech development park.

After finding a location to stop the car, Secretary Zhao took out a map with a circle and pointed to the place where the mark was made, and Lu Zhou said.

“This is the concept map of Xianlin University City High-tech Development Zone. The first phase of the project has been completed, and the second phase of the project will be completed within one year. Since the policy has just come out, only 13 research units in the entire development zone have completed their stay. Overall, there is still a lot of room to spare."

“There are several good office buildings not far from the subway station. They are still idle. If you look at it, you can tell me.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said: "The nanomaterial experiment I have done has high precision requirements. The construction standards of ordinary office buildings are difficult to meet the experimental requirements. I hope that you can help me find an open space. I will contact the engineering side here. construction."

After listening to Lu Zhou’s words, Secretary Zhao nodded: “No problem, there are a lot of land here that have not yet been sold. If you look at it, you can tell me, I will report it to you.”

Holding the map for a while, Lu Zhou finally selected a piece of land that looks good on the map, covering an area of ​​10.1 mu, as the site of the R&D center.

And it turns out that his intuition is still quite accurate.

Secretary Zhao drove him to the scene to see a circle, whether it is the nearby traffic or the environment, it is quite good, it is a good place for research.

As for the specific construction plan, he will entrust the manager of Star Technology, White, to conduct project bidding, and hire experts to evaluate the engineering standards. These troublesome things are not to worry about the boat.

On the other hand, according to the state subsidy policy, a large degree of concession has been enjoyed in getting on the land.

On the side of the university city, the prices around the city are generally more than 30,000. The price of the developer to get the land often exceeds 7 million yuan per mu.

According to Lu Lao's promise, if Lu Zhou only needs to ensure the investment amount of 200 million rmb, the state will subsidize 30% in the land acquisition. If the investment exceeds 400 million rmb, the subsidy will double. Lu Zhou’s original plan was to invest 100 million U.S. dollars, and the subsidy was naturally based on the biggest standards.

The price given by the city bureau to Lu Zhou itself is the floor price of 5 million mu, and with the state subsidies, he actually needs only about 2 million yuan per mu.

In this way, he can invest more money in the equipment and experimental budget.

After the research site’s location has come to an end,

Lu Zhou made a phone call to White, and the rest of the matter will be contacted by the Jinling City Government and the construction party by Star Technology, and he does not need to worry about these trivial things.

As for the time before the institute was built, Lu Zhou could only borrow the venue of Jinda. Fortunately, in the new campus, there are a lot of experimental buildings that have just been built and have not moved in, and Jinda is willing to help him.

For this matter, Li, the dean of the Chemical Institute, even personally took Lu Zhou and selected the experimental site on the campus of Jinda.

The two walked on the campus while chatting.

Dean Li smiled and asked: "All said that Princeton gathered the world's smartest mind. Professor Lu has been working in Princeton for almost a year. Is there any feeling about the experience there?"

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhou said: "My biggest feeling is a pity."

Dean Li unexpectedly said: "Oh? Where is it?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Only speaking of my personal feelings, in undergraduate education, the minds of Princeton University freshmen are not much stronger than the geniuses who have just experienced the college entrance examination and are more than one hundred points higher than a line. At least in the high school education, we are not behind, and we can even say that we have our own advantages."

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

“However, from the beginning of the undergraduate phase, the gap between the two will continue to increase. It is not limited to the enlargement at the individual level, but on the whole. It is difficult to be comparable to the master's level.”

Dean Li said helplessly: "Professor Lu, this comparison is unfair. Princeton's undergraduate education is a first-class level in the world, let alone us, even Harvard and MIT, in undergraduate education. It's hard to compare with it."

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Yes, so I just feel sorry."

After a pause, he ended this slightly heavy topic and continued.

"Actually, I have always had an idea. I will build an advanced research institute next to Jinling University with reference to the Princeton model."

Dean Li later hesitated: "This is a good idea, but it is not easy to achieve it."

Lu Zhou nodded. "You are right."

Replicating the success of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies is not that simple.

If you just build a building next to you, hire some researcher to do research, and then hang a teaching post next to Jinda, it is probably just a form of imitation.

The final outcome of such an institute of higher learning is at best a post-doctoral site for the development of Jinda, or a second graduate school. It does not make any sense, but it will waste a lot of resources.

Dean Li: "The Pagoda started from the original intention of the establishment of a Platonic research institution. To be honest, this idealized research institution is difficult to survive in the country. And even if it survives, it is difficult. Make achievements."

"Try it slowly, maybe because I am younger, I am still very optimistic about my ability," Lu Zhou smiled and continued in a joking tone. "If you haven't opened the research institute yet, simply It is called Jinling Institute of Computational Materials."

Academician Li laughed happily: "Yes, you don't mind letting us get this light. We naturally welcome our hands! We are just researching a calculation material department, or do you work as a department head? I pick How many top students give you training?"

Lu Zhou also said with a smile: "The head of the department is still not necessary. I am afraid that one can't hold back, and the talents in your institute are all fooled into mathematics."

"That can't be done, I can't do it at a loss!"

Both of them are bragging in a joking tone, and no one has taken these words seriously.

However, although he said the previous words in a joking tone, after hearing the proposal of President Li, Lu Zhou could not help but seriously think about this problem.

The battlefield is the best training ground. The country's big move in the new energy field is not only a conference battle to overcome technologies such as photovoltaic materials and lithium-sulfur batteries, but also an opportunity to cultivate research-oriented talents.

He does not have to completely replicate the model of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, and he can fully explore a model of a suitable domestic academic environment.

If this model proves to be feasible, he will try to extend it to mathematics, physics and other fields.

Whether it can be successful or not, this is a meaningful thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou said in a half-joking tone: "Then I have to ask for something,"

Dean Li said: "What do you want, let's talk!"

Lu Zhou only said one word.

"people!"
