The host, please be more restrained! The Strategic Propaganda Bureau can no longer make up stories

Technological monopoly is also a monopoly. On the entire blue planet, there is nothing more profitable than monopoly.

Even Saraf, who had the least idea, understood this.

He didn't understand any of the technical issues regarding controlled nuclear fusion, but as a major shareholder, he still spoke up and expressed his position.

"There's an old Chinese saying that goes, if you want to make money, you have to go crazy and rush in regardless of the consequences!"

"For our controlled nuclear fusion, we must build our own patent wall and monopolize all technologies, so we must speed up the research and development of technology."

"We have to work eight hours a day, so we must seize the time and not slack off for even a moment!"

When Lu Guofeng heard this, he frowned and looked at Saraf in surprise.

What can be researched with an eight-hour workday?
Saraf saw his dilemma and said, "If eight hours is not possible, then we must at least ensure that the researchers have six hours of research time per day."

"Such a high workload is indeed inhumane, but if they are willing to work overtime, I think we can give them double the salary, or even triple it."

Hearing this, Lu Guofeng took a deep breath.

He stared at Saraf, trying to see from his eyes whether this was a joke.

"Our scientific research experts in Sarab are all workaholics. They are extremely hardworking. In your words, they are very competitive."

"They work at least eight hours a day. Our TV station even filmed a documentary to report on their fighting spirit."

"I believe that our experts' hard-working attitude will bring a positive working environment to our Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion," Saraf said proudly.

When Lu Guofeng heard this, he frowned.

He now regrets hiring someone. Working only eight hours a day was made into a documentary for publicity. What kind of young master experts are these?

Even if those experts come here, they will definitely spoil the atmosphere of the institute. Once people become lax, it will be difficult to keep the string tight.

Or should I find an excuse and reject the person directly before he/she arrives?

Li Yunfei knew what the two were thinking, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Chief Engineer Lu, this is the national situation in Sarab. Working four hours a day is considered hard work."

"An eight-hour shift is absolutely exemplary. It should be made into a documentary. What are the current working hours in our institute?"

Lu Guofeng pushed his glasses and said, "At least twelve hours."

"What? You are violating the labor law. It's inhumane for you to work overtime like this!" Saraf said in shock.

"It is truly inhumane for a country to lag behind. Falling behind will lead to being beaten. Working overtime every day can make the country stronger, and I think it is worth it."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. It is sheer wishful thinking to think that you can do science by working eight hours a day. Science is achieved through hard work, and literature is achieved through leisure!"

"Science requires a lot of experiments. You need to be dedicated and diligent, not be happy with things or sad with yourself, and treat your work as a responsibility and your profession as a career."

"Only when you are obsessed with the object of study can you achieve extraordinary results," Lu Guofeng said calmly.

Most scientific research experts in the institute work twelve hours a day.

As the chief engineer of the project, he basically spends every day in the laboratory. Except for eating and sleeping, he is basically doing research.

The whole society works 996, but for Lu Guofeng, every day is 007.

"Brother, are your scientific research experts going crazy? What are they trying to do?" Saraf asked with some confusion.

"Our goal is very clear, and that is to make our country strong!"

"My master's grandfather once participated in the two bomb projects, and my mentor participated in the aircraft carrier demonstration. I am down and out and can only do controlled nuclear fusion. If I don't work hard, it will be difficult for me to see my mentor and master's grandfather." Lu Guofeng said with emotion.

Li Yunfei felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. When he invested in controlled nuclear fusion, he read Lu Guofeng's background information.

At that time, I only knew that they were very strong, and many things could not be found out, but I didn’t expect that they were passed down from generation to generation, and they were all powerful people!
"Brother, what are the two bombs?"

"The missiles and nuclear bombs, the firecrackers you bought at that time, were developed by his master, who was one of the researchers there," Li Yunfei explained.

After hearing this, Saraf immediately became a little fan of Lu Guofeng.

The people of Sarabe are full of respect for the firecrackers they bought for 100 million each. They are sacred weapons that protect the country!

"Lu, is your master still here? Can I go visit him?"

Lu Guofeng shook his head.

"Oh, that's a pity!"

"No, my master is still alive, but all his personal information is still kept confidential."

"That's fine, but it's really inhumane for you to work overtime like this. I think we should at least adopt the principle of voluntariness."

"No, the experts in our institute all work overtime voluntarily."

Saraf fell silent again when he heard this.

He thought for a long time and said to Li Yunfei: "Brother, after careful consideration, I still think it is not good for you to work overtime like this!"

"However, there is an old saying in China: make the best of a bad situation. As an investor, I can't say much."

"However, the overtime pay of our researchers must be increased. Overtime should be calculated at least five times the salary, which is worthy of their efforts."

Li Yunfei: “…”

Five times the overtime pay, is that too much?

After hearing this, even Lu Guofeng and Xie Wanglie, who had no idea about money, fell silent.

"Boss Li, this is too much. Double overtime pay is enough!"

"No, from now on, our research institute will implement five times the overtime pay. We must monopolize all the technologies!"

"We are not short of money now. We have an investment of 100 billion US dollars, which we can never spend all." Li Yunfei refused decisively and said firmly.

At present, the Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion has applied for more than 20,000 national patents and more than 5,000 international patents.

From appearance design to kinetic energy layout to various superconducting technologies, everything is included. These patents account for 70% of the field of controlled nuclear fusion.

It is no longer possible for other countries on the blue planet to bypass Li Yunfei's Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion in this field. It is too late.

After Lu Guofeng led everyone on a tour, they returned to the lounge.

When Levin saw someone coming back, he came up to him and said, "Li, let's talk about investment again, shall we?"

"No, there is absolutely no point in talking about it!"

"Can we talk about cooperation?"

"No, there's nothing to talk about."

"Then can we buy the patent and use your technology?"

"No, there is no point in talking." (End of this chapter)
