Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2306 Resource Exploration Technology

"Dr. Niu, I don't know what project you plan to develop? Or in which field do you need an assistant who is good at?"

This question is very important, each assistant has his own field of expertise, just like those professors, everyone is basically specialized in only one field.

Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything. If you want to make achievements, the best way is to specialize in one field.This rule applies as much to the mentors and professors as it does to the helper.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and then replied: "I need an assistant who is good at multispectral remote sensing technology. If he can also be good at electromagnetic wave technology, it will be more perfect."

The middle-aged assistant who asked the question just now nodded slightly, and then asked: "If we join your research project, what benefits can we get?"

Americans have always been so direct, and they will say anything in person without feeling embarrassed.

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a chuckle: "Whoever joins my team, as long as he develops a result, I will sign him on the result. In addition, I will give him a very considerable subsidy, which is equivalent to fame and fortune. , I wonder if you are satisfied?"

As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man who asked the question just now was the first to raise his right hand: "I fully meet the conditions proposed by Dr. Niu, and I want to join your R&D team."

Niu Xiaoqiang's conditions were not met by everyone, and the remaining three people who met the requirements also raised their right hands, expressing their willingness to follow Niu Xiaoqiang.

The reason why they were so active was mainly because Niu Xiaoqiang had a very good reputation at MIT. He had hired a few helpers from the School of Physical and Mechanical Engineering to help him develop laser welding technology.As a result, these helpers have all joined the Packard Motor Company now. The highest annual salary has reached 30 U.S. dollars, and the lowest is 20 U.S. dollars.

For college students who have just graduated, even MIT graduates, this salary is amazing enough.

With these graduates as role models, these assistants will choose to join Niu Xiaoqiang's R&D team without hesitation.Because Niu Xiaoqiang made it very clear: not only can you get a considerable salary for working for me, but you can also gain personal honor.

The salary he offers is much better than those tutors and professors, no fool will join.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that four people raised their hands to submit applications. He thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "All four of you can help me with my work. I will call Professor Simpson to explain the situation later. I believe he is right or not?" If you mind if I add two more people, please follow me, and then I will give you a detailed explanation of the idea and purpose of this research project."

The four happily nodded in agreement, and followed Niu Xiaoqiang into the meeting room not far away.

Niu Xiaoqiang closed the door. He got to know the four assistants first, then turned around and wrote a few English words on the blackboard in the conference room, and then he gave the most perfect interpretation of his research project in one sentence: "Everyone should know the X-ray machine? The purpose of our research and development is to develop an X-ray machine for the earth, and use this X-ray machine to 'examine the body' of the earth."

Niu Xiaoqiang's words are so simple and clear that even ordinary people can understand them at once. For these experienced experiment assistants, it is no problem to understand Niu Xiaoqiang's words.

Understanding is understanding, but the four people are not very clear about Niu Xiaoqiang's intention to develop this technology.

An assistant named Claude couldn't help asking: "Dr. Niu, what is the purpose of your research and development of this technology?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I want to use this technology for resource exploration. By the way, the investor of this research and development project is the Rockefeller Foundation. You should understand when I say this?"

Niu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to mention Rockefeller for two main purposes. One is to tell everyone clearly that this technology will be used for oil exploration, and the other is to warn these people not to try to leak the relevant technology to the public. Others, otherwise the Rockefeller Foundation will definitely trouble you.

When the four of them heard this, they all nodded, expressing that they understood. At the same time, they also felt a little fear.There is no American who does not know the meaning of the name Rockefeller. If anyone dares to take the name Rockefeller seriously, the consequences will be terrible.

Niu Xiaoqiang glanced around the four people, and then asked: "You all know the specific meaning, and then you need to formulate your own research plan, and at the same time, please estimate the funds required for the experiment. Funding will be distributed immediately to everyone.”

The four nodded in unison and discussed together.

Niu Xiaoqiang has been watching from the sidelines. After the four people finished discussing and submitted the estimated amount of experimental funds, Niu Xiaoqiang did not hesitate to write a check to them on the spot according to the estimated amount of the four people.

Then he ordered: "I have received the full support of Professor Xinsen. You can jump in the queue to use whichever laboratory you want to use at any time. I will stay in the Institute of Robotics during this time. If you meet other If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime.”

When Niu Xiaoqiang said this, he glanced around the four of them again, and then said: "As for the leader of your small private team, let Merck be the leader."

Merck was the first middle-aged person to ask questions in the laboratory before. Niu Xiaoqiang chose him as the leader of this small team mainly because Merck was the oldest and most experienced.

The four nodded in agreement, and then Niu Xiaoqiang stood up and said: "I hope that you will carry out the research work as quickly as possible. If you can complete the task before the end of the year, I will give each of you an additional bonus of [-] US dollars." , I can introduce you to the Rockefeller Foundation in the future, so that you can get a new job with a very good salary, well, I have explained everything that needs to be said, and it will be up to you next, I wish you all good luck, goodbye .”

When the four of them heard that Niu Xiaoqiang had added such a generous offer, they all nodded vigorously, expressing that they would do their best to devote themselves to the work and strive to complete the task as soon as possible.

Niu Xiaoqiang came to the Boston Intelligent Robot Research Center, which is currently a private institution owned by Niu Xiaoqiang, who is only temporarily affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in order to be able to borrow MIT's scientific research resources.
