Chapter 557: Do you want to be a rogue ninja?

The entire transport uses a combination of air transport and sea transport.

Because of the fear that delays would lead to changes, and encountering some force majeure factors during the transit.

Xu Qingzhou gave the principle of "air transport if possible." The equipment money of over 1 billion has already been paid, so there is no need to save that tens of millions in shipping costs.

For example, the atomic layer deposition (ALD) system and the aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope belong to precision modules and have already been stuffed into the plane flying to Xia Nation.

While the superconducting magnet test platform, which weighs over 8 tons, is transported via special sea freight.

The air transport cycle is 3-7 days, and the sea transport cycle is about 1 month. After the equipment is in place, one month is reserved for installation and debugging. In short, around September, the Kyoto Institute of Materials will be able to officially operate.

Lithium-sulfur battery direction.

Lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect, it's best to go hand in hand and start the laboratory synchronously.

Xu Qingzhou was considering future arrangements, but Wang Xiaping called.

"Stinky boy, busy?"

Xu Qingzhou said: "No, I just booked the flight. Song Yao and I are returning to the country on June 25th, but we have to go to Kyoto first; there are some things I have to arrange personally."

The closer it got to the time for the two of them to return to the country, the more anxious the two pairs of parents at home became, calling every few days.

"The 25th, that's not many days away. What about your things, send them back?"

"Hmm, some things are already being packed, send them back in advance."

"Last time you two said you wanted to buy a house, have you decided on the location?"

Xu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Song Yao and I discussed it, and we plan to look at the houses in Xishan No. 1 Courtyard later. Kyoto has already recommended two sets, and we will go to the site to see them after we go back."

"Decided? How much money?"

"Not expensive, after the discount, it's estimated to be 40 million and 65 million."

There was another long silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Xiaohui recommended several houses, one of which was located in Xishan Meishuguan. These are basically detached villas, houses jointly developed by the district government and Jingda to attract top international scholars, about 60% of the market price.

But considering the distance problem, it was temporarily passed.

Song Yao pursed her lips, once again realizing why this guy was disliked by Aunt Wang; he was too annoying.

Wang Xiaping didn't want to talk to her unreliable son, "What about Xiaoyao?"

"Auntie~"

Song Yao sat up, and after taking the phone, she called out timidly.

"Hey~ Xiaoyao~ busy lately?"

Wang Xiaping's voice was also gentle.

Xu Qingzhou "tsk-tsked" twice, used to this pair of fake-smiling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and continued to hold the tablet to look at the briefing.

In mid-June, the members of the three research groups under his hand had already submitted their papers to the website, and the work had decreased a bit more.

Besides conducting battery experiments, Xu Qingzhou has already started making arrangements before returning to the country. Actually, there isn't much to arrange; it's nothing more than visiting professors he met at MIT and bumming some coffee from Professor Roberts.

Fortunately, he had considered the problem of returning to the country long ago, and he didn't arrange any courses this semester, so he didn't have to consider the problem of attending classes.

June 14th, an office at Jingda, a pair of young men and women were looking down at the data in front of them.

The short-haired girl had a calm expression, marked a section of data, and ordered: "You re-analyze this section."

"Okay, I'll give it to you before five o'clock."

The slightly chubby young man nodded slightly.

"Yo, are you both busy?"

A hearty voice sounded in the office.

The two looked up and saw a young man wearing a plaid shirt walking in with a smile.

"Brother Wei!"

Gong Yunfei shouted in surprise and gave Wang Wei a big hug.

Wang Wei's face darkened. It had been two or three years, and this guy was still so cheap. Then he greeted Hong Yayu: "Junior Sister Hong Yayu."

Hong Yayu nodded.

"Professor Zhao is not here?"

"He went to a meeting. Are you looking for him for something?"

"No big deal, I made an appointment with Professor Zhao to have a meal with everyone."

Gong Yunfei stopped joking and asked curiously: "Brother Wang, I heard you were busy with a project last time. Did it end so soon?"

"I resigned and stopped doing it." Wang Wei said with a smile.

"Ah?"

Gong Yunfei was stunned. Senior Brother Wang Wei was at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, a place countless scientific researchers dream of, with high wages and high welfare benefits.

Wang Wei sat down and continued: "Isn't the Kyoto Institute of Materials recruiting? I just happened to come back to take a look and try my luck."

The field is suitable, the salary is on par with Europe and America, and it's right in the country—a quite perfect job.

"You say it like that... it's really no problem, the treatment of the institute is not bad."

Gong Yunfei held a teacup filled with wolfberry and took a sip of tea.

Wang Wei looked at the wolfberry in Gong Yunfei's thermos cup, and then looked at Hong Yayu on the side without a trace, secretly thinking that after a few years, these two were different.

Hong Yayu saw Wang Wei looking at her with a strange expression and said indifferently: "It's not because of me."

"Cough~" Wang Wei's mouth twitched, "Long time no see, Junior Sister Hong is still so... fond of joking."

The two words "wild and unrestrained" were ultimately not said.

"This tea, health-preserving, health-preserving."

Gong Yunfei finally realized that Wang Wei had misunderstood and said in a low voice: "Carrying a cup of wolfberry tea makes one look mature."

Wang Wei: "..."

Gong Yunfei continued the topic just now: "Xu Xu Shidi has great spirit, spending over 2 billion directly to buy equipment. The Physics Academy and Chemistry Academy have been extremely lively these past few days."

"Still calling him Xu Xu Shidi? People are already professors." Hong Yayu said with an expressionless face.

"Used to calling him that, that's not the point. I looked at the institute's equipment, ThermoFisher Spectra aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope, 4D-UTEM four-dimensional ultrafast electron microscope..."

Gong Yunfei rubbed his hands, his eyes a little hot: "I have only seen these two pieces of equipment in books. Adding them up is almost 200-300 million, right?"

Wang Wei also sighed and said: "I passed by the gate of the Kyoto Institute of Materials a few days ago. Tsk tsk, it's really imposing."

SCI is not a problem.

Previously, Wang Wei's experience at the institute was also one in ten thousand.

Gong Yunfei said: "I heard Xu Xu Shidi came back to prepare to do a lithium-ion battery project... and the positioning is a bit like ours."

The next project is still in the battery direction.

This is one of the hottest fields at present, with broad market prospects.

Wang Wei also has an understanding of this aspect: "That's right, lithium-sulfur batteries, and it may involve the field of nuclear fusion in the future."

Gong Yunfei sighed for a while, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say: "In this way, if our project team moves to the institute, can we use those super equipment?"

"Do you want to be a rogue ninja?" Hong Yayu narrowed her eyes.

"I was just saying... how did it become a rogue ninja? And, I didn't say I wanted to go to the Materials Institute myself, it was..."

Gong Yunfei didn't continue, because he had already noticed the old man standing at the door.

"Little Wei is here." Professor Zhao Shengwen walked in with a smile on his face.

"Professor."

The three people in the office greeted him.

Zhao Shengwen put down the documents, looking at the student who was more mature and steady than two years ago, very satisfied, "You kid just came back, don't adjust your schedule at home more."

Wang Wei shrugged helplessly and sighed: "Can't sleep, came out for a stroll."

"Submitted your resume?"

"Submitted."

"Your achievements are obvious to all, it must be no problem." Zhao Shengwen nodded, turned to Gong Yunfei who was shrinking on the side like an ostrich, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Yunfei, I just heard you say you want to go to Professor Xu's Materials Institute?"

"Ah?"
