Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

Although applying for projects through the school's channels can better help Ning Chen accumulate academic success and facilitate subsequent professional title selections, Ning Chen doesn't particularly care about these things now.

With the support of Xingchen Technology, Ning Chen can freely conduct research on various projects without having to apply according to the normal process every time.

Nowadays, Xingchen Technology has a large amount of scientific research funds and can also mobilize a lot of resources. Generally speaking, it is definitely a better choice than the channel of universities.

Of course, this does not mean that Ning Chen can completely abandon his identity as a college teacher. After all, this is Ning Chen's basic identity, and Ning Chen does not want to be a pure businessman.

…

After confirming the plan, Ning Chen explained his arrangements to Lu Minghao.

Lu Minghao was also a little surprised to hear that Ning Chen suddenly wanted to build such an instrument to receive gravitational waves.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Minghao would not have any resistance to Ning Chen's orders. After all, Ning Chen was the absolute controller of the company. No matter what orders Ning Chen made, he would execute them unconditionally.

But this time, Lu Minghao did feel that Ning Chen's decision was a bit too sudden.

"Mr. Ning, do you really want to invest a lot of money in manufacturing equipment to search for gravitational waves? Scientists have not yet reached a consensus on whether gravitational waves really exist..."

Lu Minghao's meaning is obvious. Even though Xingchen Technology has abundant funds, it is not a wise choice to spend so much scientific research funds to study such a project with little hope.

However, Lu Minghao didn't know that as a reborn person, Ning Chen could be 100% sure of the existence of gravitational waves.

Ning Chen was not angry because of Lu Minghao's doubts. In fact, as a company executive, Lu Minghao's reaction was very normal and he truly considered the company and himself.

"Manager Lu, your considerations are very objective, but I would not have made such a decision without full assurance. Just rest assured and follow my plan. I will bear all responsibilities myself. of."

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Lu Minghao had no other opinions.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, I will implement your plan."

Lu Minghao was very efficient and quickly organized a new project.

After the gradual rise of Xingchen Technology, Ning Chen spent a lot of money to help the company recruit many experts from various industries.

This is somewhat similar to Warwick's approach. Ning Chen believes that only by having enough scientific researchers can the company achieve sustained positive development.

Ning Chen's strength alone was not enough to complete all the work.

Even if Ning Chen can point out the direction for many research works, those branches of research work also need the assistance of other experts.

Of course, in addition to Xingchen Technology, Ning Chen also hopes that Warwick Corporation and Shengzhou University can also participate in studying projects related to detecting gravitational waves.

What makes Ning Chen happy is that both Warwick Company and Shengzhou University are very interested in this project and expressed that they will do their best to help Ning Chen conduct research on this project.

Including Ning Chen’s materials laboratory at Shengzhou University, they also joined the project.

Before the project was officially launched, Xu Zhou couldn't help but ask Ning Chen about some matters related to the project.

"Teacher Xu, I heard that you want to build a device to search for... so-called gravitational waves?"

When Xu Zhou asked Ning Chen, he obviously couldn't believe this project. After all, the scientific community has not yet reached a consensus on whether gravitational waves really exist.

Xu Zhou didn't know how much money Ning Chen had invested in this project, but the investment in just some equipment and materials reached an astronomical figure.

"Yes, Teacher Xu, this is not only my public research goal, but also my real research goal. The research on this device requires several new materials, so we have to continue research."

"Teacher Ning, to be honest, your project is indeed a bit fanciful. If you were not the initiator of the project, it would be hard for me to believe that this project could be successful within a few years."

Xu Zhou tactfully expressed to Ning Chen that he was not optimistic about the project, and Ning Chen was not surprised by Xu Zhou's reaction.

Xu Zhou's character has always been very straightforward. If he has anything on his mind, he will tell Ning Chen without any scruples.

Even though Ning Chen has now become the world's top scientific researcher and rich man, Xuzhou still has no sense of distance from Ning Chen.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, just think back to the projects we have done before. Besides, these investments are made by Xingchen Technology. Even if the final project really fails to succeed, all the responsibilities will be borne by Xingchen Technology." Come and bear it.”

"Haha, Teacher Ning, if you say that, I can rest assured. No matter what the final result is, I must at least ensure that there will be no failures in the branch field I am studying."

In the following time, Ning Chen, Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, Sui Feng and others gathered together to study the experimental plan and various precautions related to this branch project.

Since Ning Chen is currently very busy with work, there is a high probability that Ning Chen will not be able to devote too much energy to this project.

Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, and Sui Feng still need to be responsible for the main work.

"Don't worry, Teacher Ning. With us here, we can definitely successfully complete the tasks you assigned us. Of course, if you can take time to come to the laboratory frequently, it will definitely help the project be completed faster."

Ning Chen also nodded when he heard this and said:

"As long as I have time, I will definitely participate in this project as much as possible. I look forward to the successful launch of our gravitational wave detection equipment as soon as possible!"

…

In the following time, multiple research teams including Xingchen Technology, Warwick Company, and Shengzhou University began research work on gravitational wave detection equipment.

This device is essentially similar to a radio telescope, but in order to receive the presence of gravitational waves faster and more accurately.

When designing this instrument, Ning Chen also incorporated the theoretical ideas of laser interferometry, which allows the instrument to more accurately measure distance changes caused by gravitational waves.

And just when everyone was investing their energy in this project, this matter quickly attracted the attention of others.

"According to reports from our international students, Ning Chen has recently started a new scientific research project. This project is very grand. Even all the projects that Ning Chen has studied before, I am afraid that they cannot match the amount of energy invested in this project."

"Really? What kind of research project is this?"

"Simply put, this project is to detect the existence of gravitational waves in the universe. The relevant theoretical basis was proposed in Einstein's general theory of relativity more than a hundred years ago. Of course, this concept only exists in Among the theoretical assumptions, it has not been verified by any phenomenon..."

"I see, it seems that this research is likely to fail. But since Ning Chen dared to invest so much energy in this project, he should have found some strong evidence."

Judging from the research significance of this project, if Ning Chen can really successfully prove the existence of gravitational waves, it will indeed be a research that has the potential to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

"The work currently carried out by Ningchen's team is mainly studying this new type of equipment for detecting gravitational waves. This project does not seem to be that huge in scale, but the actual scientific research funds and investment by scientific researchers even exceed that of quantum Leap and quantum pilot projects..."

"This is good news for us. The fact that Ning Chen can devote such a huge amount of energy to this project proves that Ning Chen himself is also very interested in winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. We just need to follow the trend and get it done. The Nobel Prize Organizing Committee will wait until Ning Chen actually produces results and then help Ning Chen win the Nobel Prize in Physics as soon as possible."

They are still full of confidence in Ning Chen's ability. Even though this research project is very difficult and the success rate is relatively limited, as long as the project is led by Ning Chen, nothing is absolutely impossible.

This kind of thing is completely consistent with their previous plan.

As long as Ning Chen can successfully win the Nobel Prize in Physics according to their expected trajectory, and go abroad to receive the award as a matter of course, then the threat of Ning Chen can be eliminated forever.

On the territory outside the Xia Kingdom, no matter how great Ning Chen's abilities were, there was no way to display them, so he could only be slaughtered by others.

"If Ning Chen cannot win the Nobel Prize in Physics in the short term, let's use other alternatives. This matter should not be rushed and there should be no negligence. Everything needs to be considered in the long term."

…

Time passes day by day, and the project team working on gravitational wave detection equipment is working intensively every day.

Through everyone's dedicated research, the project team's research has achieved breakthroughs one after another, and the distance between Ning Chen and Ning Chen's ideal goal is constantly getting closer.

Before you know it, a few months have passed, and the research on many branch projects has entered the final stage.

Ningchen's materials laboratory has successfully developed several new materials for this new type of equipment. After testing, the properties of these materials are very suitable for the observation of gravitational waves.

Among them, Ning Chen played a very good leadership role, and Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, Sui Feng and others also made important contributions.

In addition to Ning Chen's laboratory, the research teams of Xingchen Technology, Warwick Corporation, and other laboratories at Shengzhou University have also made many key results.

Finally, after achieving breakthroughs in various branch research projects, Ning Chen started working on parts processing.

Many parts here are very precise, and the processing accuracy of some parts even reaches nanometer and micro-nanometer levels, which makes the processing technology very difficult.

Fortunately, Xingchen Technology has long been involved in the industrial field. For example, the photolithography factory jointly owned by Xingchen Technology and Warwick Company has extremely high processing technology and can produce the most sophisticated chips in the world.

With the support of such processing technology, Xingchen Technology finally overcame one difficulty after another and successfully manufactured all the accessories Ning Chen needed.

Seeing the completion of this research, Ning Chen began to discuss follow-up arrangements with other members of the project team.

"Mr. Ning, we need to choose a suitable location for the instrument. Judging from the size of this instrument, it certainly cannot be placed directly inside the company."

In fact, although many parts of the instrument designed by Ning Chen are very precise, in order to receive enough signals, the entire instrument is very huge.

If you want to get better reception, the entire instrument can even occupy an area the size of several football fields.

"Manager Lu, I think we should build this instrument with the largest specifications according to the previous plan. The construction location of the first instrument should be somewhere in the countryside of Shengzhou."

Ning Chen would definitely not place this kind of equipment with a very large area in the city. After all, it is difficult to find such a huge open space in the city. Even if it could be found, the cost of renting the land would be a million dollars. An astronomical number of pens.

The same area will save most of the money if placed in rural areas, and there will be no difference in the observation effect.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, I will find a suitable land as soon as possible."

At this time, Lu Minghao suddenly realized that there was some hidden meaning in Ning Chen's words just now.

"Mr. Ning, you mean... this will be the first device we build to observe gravitational waves, but... it may not be the last device?"

Seeing the surprised look on Lu Minghao's face, Ning Chen nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, I even think that this may not be the last device to observe gravitational waves. Because gravitational waves are difficult to detect, it is difficult to accurately receive all kinds of gravitational waves that exist in the universe just by building an observation device. Gravitational waves. Only by building enough observation equipment can we maximize our probability of successfully observing gravitational waves."

Lu Minghao did not expect that Ning Chen would want to continue investing in this project, because the previous investment was already very huge, but if gravitational waves could not be observed, then this project would probably be a bottomless pit.

Ning Chen guessed what Lu Minghao was thinking and quickly explained:

"Manager Lu, you don't have to worry. After completing the construction of the first gravitational wave observation equipment, we will conduct detailed tests first and then decide on the next specific plan."
