Standing at the entrance, Lao Lu was about to say hello with a smile, but the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
Lu Zhou shook his head, "I'm not joking, I'm serious."
After a pause, Lu Zhou continued: "In addition, if you transfer the WEGA device to me, I can open up the technology of SG-1 material conductor. Since superconducting magnets with stronger performance are our common needs, we It is absolutely possible to cooperate on related research.”
Although I couldn't understand what Lao Lu said, the enthusiasm could be felt without words.
"...Don't think about it, it's impossible."
Lu Zhou: "What are you excited about?"
The door opens.
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "If what you care about is that the technology is bought cheaply, we are willing to exchange that part of the technology with the technology. If you are not willing, then I have no obligation to disclose this part. Research. After all, this is not a research project outsourced by ITER, but our own."
Occasionally, some dialogues have to be modified according to the language habits of both parties.
After thinking about this problem for a while, Lu Zhou gave a number.
A smile appeared on Crabber's face and he politely spoke the second sentence of Chinese he knew.
It is indeed not an easy thing to make a choice between them.
After all, no one wants to be a lifelong chaser. Everyone wants to master the core technology in the entire nuclear fusion project. Otherwise, let alone dividing the cake equally, they will not have any status at all, and they will not have the confidence to even slap the table and quarrel.
"Howl of mud, howl of mud..."
The WEGA device is the crystallization of the technology of the Max Planck Society and the Helmholtz Society. They have put a lot of effort into completing this device. Under such circumstances, they naturally do not want to sell it so cheaply.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
The most fundamental contradiction lies in the transfer of technology.
Looking at Professor Kleiber, Lao Lu smiled warmly and said, "It turns out you are Lu Zhou's friend. Please come in."
He was full of praise for the taste of the dumplings, and Kleiber, who was always very serious at work, gave him a rare thumbs up.
After staring at the thin line in the glass cover for a long time, Professor Kleiber remained silent for a while, seemingly considering whether this proposal was worth it.
Lu Zhou: "I heard that your WEGA has been closed?"
Whether it is normal times or Chinese New Year, the Lu family are very hospitable.
Although he was shocked that Lu Zhou could get so much money, Kleiber was only shocked and did not nod in agreement, because this was not just a matter of money.
At this time, the sound of the doorbell suddenly came from the entrance.
Professor Kleiber frowned: "What else?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"The dumplings are delicious, thank you."
On one side is the prototype of the Helix-7x. Although it has been eliminated, it still involves many technologies that have not yet been made public.
Kleiber: "WEGA is a prerequisite for cooperation?"
Kleiber thought for a moment and said, "As for your proposal, I can't give you an answer right away. This is not something I can decide alone. At the same time, WEGA is not just the property of the Max Planck Society. I hope you can Understandable."
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem to be joking, Professor Kleiber said with a smile: "In order to complete the WEGA device, we spent 800 million euros in cost alone, and it was still 800 million more than ten years ago. How much do you plan to spend on it? ?”
Lu Zhou nodded in agreement: "No problem."
Professor Kleiber was stunned.
"Is 500 million enough?"
Lu Zhou: "What's its condition now?"
"WEGA? Are you kidding me?"
After subconsciously following a few words, Lao Lu suddenly came back to his senses and immediately cast a questioning look at Lu Zhou next to him.
Lu Zhou: "Can you sell it to me?"
Seeing her father bringing this tall foreign professor into the living room, Xiaotong sneaked next to Lu Zhou and poked her brother's arm: "Brother, you don't know what dad is doing in the afternoon?" How excited."
The silence lasted for about five minutes. The Germanic professor finally relaxed his shoulders and spoke slowly.
"This is a client of our research institute," Lu Zhou introduced with a smile after understanding his father's vision, "and he is also my friend."
On the other side are carbon-based superconducting materials that may become a key factor in solving the problem of controllable nuclear fusion, but they are only possible. There are still many uncertain factors such as cost and mass production.
…
If you have money, you can do whatever you want
In the villa of Zhongshan International, the family is busy preparing for the New Year dinner.
In the ITER project, the game between technologically superior countries and technologically inferior countries on the issue of technology transfer has been going on for a long time. This kind of game is reflected in the proportion of funds borne by each country, the allocation of projects responsible for each country's research institutes, and various external factors.
Just like the photolithography machine, everyone knows the principle, and the relevant papers can also be publicly downloaded, but the technical things are all corporate secrets and will basically not be made public until the technology is updated.
When Lu Zhou translated his words into Chinese and told his wife to her, she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
The papers on the SG-1 material are all public information, and even the laboratory preparation method of the SG-1 material itself is public. At most, Lu Zhou has registered a preventive patent for the product to prevent just in case.
He didn't stay here until very late. After dinner, seeing that it was getting late, Kraibo sat on the sofa and chatted with Lu Zhou for a while, then stood up and left.
After being sent outside the villa by Lu Zhou, and standing next to the road at the entrance, Creber said.
"… trade?"
That also has preconditions.
In short, while ensuring the bargaining chip in hand, advantaged countries hope that disadvantaged countries will bear more research funds, share risks and costs, and obtain more funds and projects from the total funding pool for their own research institutes.
The disadvantaged countries hope that the advantaged countries will transfer more technologies and also hope to win more projects for their own research institutes.
But because of the language barrier, communication at the dinner table was not so smooth.
It is understandable that there will be such contradictions. After all, since the second half of the last century, the European Union and even the European Community, the predecessor of the European Union, have spent an unknown amount of money on researching this technology.
"Write."
Looking at the old man standing at the door, Professor Kleiber forced a friendly smile on his face and said hello in broken Chinese.
"Mud Howl."
However, how to make SG-1 material into wires involves specific product production processes. Obviously, these things cannot be written in a paper and simply published.
As he said that, the little girl rolled her eyes and muttered something, "I knew it wasn't that simple, but I didn't expect it to be beyond my expectations. Who would have thought that you would bring a man back."
Kleiber: "It was a long time ago, maybe 13 years."
After a pause, he said, "However, I promise you, I will try my best."
Knowing very well what Professor Kleiber was thinking, Lu Zhou continued: "Anyway, its final destination is the museum, and you have learned enough experience from it. I am willing to pay 500 million euros for your achievements, and I said Maybe I can let it use its residual heat, and besides..."
Lu Zhou could only act as a translator, switching between speaking in English and Chinese.
Even though my heart was full of resentment towards my son, I still couldn't show it in front of the guests.
"It's not bad, it's not bad. Maybe we will send it to the museum in twenty or thirty years... Is there any problem?" Kleiber frowned, a little confused as to what Lu Zhou was planning to say when he suddenly mentioned WEGA. .
After a while, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
After hearing the sound, Lu Bangguo's face lit up, he shouted "Here we come" from a distance, and walked quickly to the door.
Professor Kleiber was slightly stunned when he heard Lu Zhou's sudden suggestion.
"I need to think about it."
After so many years of cooking, this is the first time that she has been recognized by international friends. For Fang Mei, this is undoubtedly a new and fulfilling thing.
"coming."
Lu Zhou: "..."
Xiaotong looked helpless: "What else can you be excited about? He thought you had finally enlightened and brought back a daughter-in-law."
