Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 759 Declined
Zhang Heping looked at Mr. Qian for a long time without saying anything!
He just said that he has a complete set of information on home desktop miniature nuclear reactors and toroidal magnetic confinement nuclear fusion devices.

However, the other party mentioned "joint research and development" again, and also mentioned leading a team, and responded to the technical consultation letter that seemed to make him give up.

Sometimes, the things that others care about the least are often the things they value the most!
To work together on research and development, to put it bluntly, we still want his technology!
Because that toroidal magnetic confinement nuclear fusion device was just a small toy he threw out for the experts and professors at Shenzhen Peace College to practice with, and it could not achieve controlled nuclear fusion power generation.

Even for the home desktop miniature nuclear reactor, Zhang Heping did not provide full information because of factors such as radiation and nuclear materials.

Therefore, the so-called joint research and development was actually to allow Zhang Heping to complete the remaining technical information.

As for technology, Zhang Heping is too lazy to provide it now!
Since you are treated as an outsider, why do something thankless!
What's more, he is also leading a team now, but the experts and professors from Shenzhen Peace College have not been recruited by him and only receive the salaries he pays.

Although there are many foreign spies in the team of Hong Kong Peace Healthcare Research Institute and Peace Computer Research Center, they must obey his command both in name and in action. Anyone who dares to disobey will be expelled directly.

Therefore, Zhang Heping does not need to take time out to lead other teams, nor does he need to answer questions for outsiders.

Being stared at by Zhang Heping, even though Mr. Qian had experienced many ups and downs, he was still unsure of Zhang Heping's true thoughts.

"What do you think, Consultant Zhang?" Mr. Qian asked tentatively.

Zhang Heping did not answer but asked, "Mr. Qian, what do you think of the education section on the World Internet Forum?"

The World Internet Forum, due to its open social attributes and one-click web translation function, has become the largest portal website on the global Internet!

The education section above has been taken seriously by other countries because of the various medical teaching videos that Zhang Heping has made available for free. Some countries have even made Chinese a compulsory course just to help students better understand those medical teaching courses.

Of course, many people who want to enter the Hong Kong Peace Vocational Training College will also study the basic subject teaching videos above.

Those basic subject teaching videos were obtained by Zhang Heping through a reward, and he also donated a lot of computers and cameras for the teachers to shoot the courses.

Mr. Qian had of course been to the World Internet Forum and watched those teaching videos. When Zhang Heping asked him about it, he simply recalled it and nodded, saying, "The benefits will be felt in this generation and in the future."

"I think so too!" Zhang Heping accepted the compliment shamelessly, "However, most people like to talk nonsense in the forum, but are not willing to share knowledge in the education section or even the paper section."

"Mr. Qian has retired now, so he might as well pay more attention to the education section of the World Internet Forum."

"Instead of teaching middle-aged and elderly people whose thinking is rigid, it is better to teach children who are more flexible."

After hearing this, Mr. Qian understood that this was Zhang Heping's tactful refusal, saying that he didn't want to lead a team to teach those middle-aged and elderly people!

As for the home desktop miniature nuclear reactor and the toroidal magnetic confinement nuclear fusion device, Zhang Heping did not mention it again, and Mr. Qian did not ask any more questions.

After all, that was Zhang Heping's technology. As a retired old man, he could no longer speak on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He could only facilitate cooperation between the two parties.

But the problem is, Zhang Heping disagrees!
"I heard from Professor Dai that Consultant Zhang asked them to develop solar panels to be installed in the desert for sand control." Seeing that his plan failed, Mr. Qian immediately changed the subject.

"There are too many deserts in the northwest, and it's a pity to leave them idle there." Zhang Heping said calmly: "I thought that although there is a shortage of water in the desert, there is water in the air of the desert. If there is a device that can collect water from the air and can also make me get my money back after I invest a lot of money..."

Zhang Heping was talking about how he used solar power to generate income, how the dense nets under the panels collected water from the air, and then flowed into the ground along the support poles of the solar panels to supply the growth of grass under the panels, etc., which made Mr. Qian nod his head continuously.

In fact, Zhang Heping had already said these words to Professor Dai’s solar energy research and development team, and I believe Professor Dai had also said them to Mr. Qian.

But as a top scientist in his seventies, Qian knows that many people doing research want to be recognized by others, which leads to a strong desire to express themselves, but this is suppressed by their daily research work and cannot be released.

In Qian's opinion, top talents like Zhang Heping, who have conducted in-depth research in multiple disciplines, spend more time on academics and therefore suppress their desire to express themselves.

"I've been to the Gobi Desert in the northwest for a while, and I know that life there is extremely difficult." After hearing Zhang Heping's words, Mr. Qian immediately responded:

"After I retired, I have been studying the desert industry, thinking about how to make use of the desert to drive economic development there, and then use the local abundant funds to control the desert."

"After hearing what Advisor Zhang said, I suddenly felt ashamed. I didn't even connect condensation, a simple physical phenomenon, to desert control."

"Mr. Qian, don't underestimate yourself!" Zhang Heping said, "The dense network to collect condensed water is only auxiliary. The real desert control is the tap water used to clean the solar panels."

When he heard the word "tap water" again, Mr. Qian's face couldn't help but twitch.

If he didn't know that Zhang Heping was born in the capital, he would have suspected that Zhang Heping was just talking big!
People living in the capital may not have a deep understanding of how water is scarce in the north, but if you go west from the capital, you will find that many places are still using well water and river water. There is no abundant tap water to be transported to the desert!

"I originally wanted to invest in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project." Zhang Heping took a sip of water from his teacup and said with a hint of regret:

"But Mr. Hua and his team didn't agree, so I had to place the desert control pilot project in the Kubuqi Desert near the Yellow River, where it is easier to get water."

Hearing about the Kubuqi Desert, Mr. Qian nodded again. The water volume in the Jizi Bay of the Yellow River is still abundant. Even if it freezes in winter, Zhang Heping will surely have a solution.

"The South-to-North Water Diversion Project involves too many aspects, and it will probably take several years of research before a conclusion can be reached." Mr. Qian comforted Zhang Heping a little, then changed the subject and asked about the Heping car, as well as the robot dogs, exoskeleton assistive devices, drones, etc. that Zhang Long and Zhang Hu usually play with.

As the two chatted, it was already time for dinner. Mr. Qian took the opportunity to have dinner and then went out for a walk with Zhang Heping's family to digest the food before saying goodbye and leaving.

Without the outsiders around, the first wife Tang Xin asked Zhang Heping in confusion, "Honey, why did Mr. Qian come over and chat with you about everything for so long?"

"Didn't Aunt Wang ask you to persuade me to reply to those technical consultation letters?" Zhang Heping looked at Mr. Qian who was walking away and smiled faintly, "He also came for this matter, but he has no friendship with me, so he wants to take it slowly."

Tang Xin said "oh" and didn't think about it anymore. She didn't ask Zhang Heping why he didn't reply to those technical consultation letters. It was enough to have Zhang Heping by her side.

Think about those rich wives in Hong Kong Island whom I haven’t seen for a long time. They complain all day long about their husbands being unfaithful and finding other women outside.

The concubine Chen Shuting seemed absent-minded at this time, because China Resources and CITIC did not accept the shares of Heping Group, and she had to direct her subordinates to purchase various metal raw materials around the world.

The 11-year-old Zhang Nuo held her one-and-a-half-year-old brother's hand and did not allow him to run around, demonstrating her authority as an older sister.

19-year-old Xiaosi Zhang Feng was walking and reading a book, ready to spend this Saturday peacefully.

As for the two guys, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, they ran to the underground laboratory after dinner.

~
Liu Yuan was driving a black car with Director Wang. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Shenzhen Peace Vocational Training College, they were stopped by the person in charge and several managers of Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park.

"Xiao Li!" Director Wang rolled down the left rear window and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Director Wang, we are at our wits' end!" Director Li, the person in charge of Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park, ran to the car door and tried to pull it open to no avail, then continued, "Director Wang, please be kind and take me in to see Consultant Zhang, just once!"

"As long as Consultant Zhang tells me in person that he will no longer cooperate with our Zhuhai Computer Industrial Park, I will give up!"

"If you give up, you can still be transferred to other units. But what about the thousands of workers in your industrial park?" Director Wang pushed open the car door and frowned at the middle-aged man who had gained four or five times weight.

After a few years, the veteran with dark skin and a resolute face has become like this.

A middle-aged male manager with a big belly came out to smooth things over. "Director Wang, I know our defective rate is a bit high recently. We will definitely make changes and ensure strict quality control in the future!"

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I've told you about the defective rate at least ten times!" Director Wang waved his hand to drive them away. "The investigation team has arrived in Huadu. You'd better hurry up and think about how to explain it to them!"

"Investigation team?" The portly Director Li's heart skipped a beat and he was almost frightened to death on the spot.

When he came to his senses, there was no sign of Director Wang around!

Director Wang did not go back to Villa No. 2 directly. Instead, he went to Villa No. 4 of Mr. Hua first to find Mr. Qian and Secretary Chen.

Mr. Hua was still attending a meeting in the capital, and had handed matters here over to Wang Suzhen and Secretary Chen.

Therefore, both of them knew the purpose of Mr. Hua inviting Mr. Qian to come.

However, Mr. Qian has been here for more than half a month and has not given them a definite answer.

After Director Wang came in and said hello, Mr. Qian got down to business. "This afternoon, I talked a lot with Consultant Zhang. He is a young man with a lot of ideas and opinions."

"I can say responsibly that if he is allowed to do what he wants, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages!"

"but……"

Mr. Qian stopped talking here, because there are some things that cannot be said out loud, and people who have experienced it understand this.

Director Wang also knows what to say and what not to say. After all, he has been the director of the street office for many years.

"Mr. Qian, have you made up your mind?" Director Wang looked at Mr. Qian, who was smiling, and asked solemnly, "Are you going or staying?"

"Why bother about a retired old man like me?" Old Qian said casually, "You guys take care of your own business, don't worry about me. I'll go to the laboratory in the underground base and take a look around."

Director Wang nodded helplessly. As long as Mr. Qian didn't leave before Mr. Hua came back, she would have completed her mission.

On the contrary, Director Wang had already seen through Mr. Qian's evaluation of Zhang Heping, otherwise why would she have traveled all the way to the south.

~
In the evenings of the following days, after Zhang Heping returned to his home in Shenzhen from Hong Kong Island, Mr. Qian would come over for a meal.

After Tang Xin and Chen Shuting learned from Zhang Heping the purpose of Mr. Qian's coming here, they became less respectful of Mr. Qian and spoke to him more casually.

After so many days of contact, Mr. Qian gradually became familiar with the Zhang family, and sometimes he would follow Zhang Long and Zhang Hu to the laboratory to play.

On April 4, Zhang Heping did not go to Hong Kong Island, but went to Shenzhen Heping Hospital early in the morning to prepare to send Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Yang to Huadu.

After Mr. Qian learned about this, he also followed and wanted to go to Huadu together.

Grandma Yang helped Grandpa Zhuang, who had just changed his clothes, up and said to Zhang Heping, who was standing next to the bed, "Heping, you go ahead and do your thing. Let the driver take us there!"

Zhang Heping said with a smile: "After you came here, I didn't have the chance to treat you to a big meal. It just so happens that the Canton Fair is about to start, I will take you to Huadu and meet some friends by the way."

When Grandma Yang heard that Zhang Heping was just on his way to do some business, she stopped being polite.

Seeing that Zhang Heping cared so much about the old couple of the Zhuang family, Mr. Qian, who was standing by, became interested and decided to go back and find out about Zhang Heping's past with the Zhuang family.

"Heping? Which Heping?" Uncle Zhuang didn't look at Zhang Heping. He was helped out of the ward with a puzzled look on his face.

No matter how skilled Zhang Heping was in medicine, he was still defeated by the patient's age. Uncle Zhuang was not only forgetful, but also showed signs of Alzheimer's disease.

Fortunately, just as Zhang Heping had expected, Grandpa Zhuang recovered his speech and mobility, and could even eat by himself, saving Grandma Yang and the others a lot of trouble.

"Heping is Zhang Heping, have you forgotten?" According to Zhang Heping's doctor's advice, Grandma Yang wanted to talk more with Grandpa Zhuang, so that he could recall, think and talk back more to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

"Zhang Heping! I remember now, that guy sent prey to our family again?" Uncle Zhuang's voice sounded full of energy, but he couldn't recognize Zhang Heping who was walking behind him now.

"Give him some of our cigarettes and alcohol, and let him take them back to his two sisters, and let them secretly give them to the principal, the grade director, and the class teacher." Grandpa Zhuang said to his wife as if no one was around.

"It's better for the county magistrate to manage it now! Although we can help contact the Ministry of Railways to assign his two sisters there, the comments in the school files are equally important to them and are related to their future promotions. You need to explain these things to Heping."

"I got it!" Grandma Yang couldn't say much because Zhang Heping was right behind her.

But Mr. Qian on the side saw it very clearly, and the smile on Zhang Heping's face seemed much more lively, not as indifferent and serious as usual.

"Why are we in the hospital?" Seeing the medical staff in white coats around him, Mr. Zhuang asked himself in confusion, "When did I come to the hospital?"

"Have you forgotten that you fell?" Grandma Yang approached Grandpa Zhuang and said, "It was Heping who saved you again this time. You must remember this!"

"I fell and was hospitalized?" Grandpa Zhuang patted his dizzy head and shook his head, "I can't remember! Heping? Who is Heping?"

Hearing that Grandpa Zhuang had forgotten what he had just said, Grandma Yang couldn't help but turn her head and look at Zhang Heping for help.

Zhang Heping smiled and consoled her: "The human brain is amazing and can repair itself. Maybe it will get better someday. Don't worry, Grandma Yang."

Grandma Yang said apologetically, "Heping, your uncle Zhuang didn't forget you on purpose!"

"I know!" Zhang Heping continued to comfort Grandma Yang with a smile on his face, "As long as she is fine, she will slowly remember it in the future."
