Chapter 2: Snatching People
A week later, Gu Xici came to Guo Yi's room alone and said to him respectfully, "Mr. Guo, your background check is over."
Next, I'd like to ask you to come with me somewhere.
"This step of mine is finally coming to an end."
Guo Yi stretched and stood up, gesturing, "Let's go, take me to the defense room."
Once the source of the E-carbon steel is confirmed through background checks, there are only two possible developments.
The first type: patent cooperation.
The second option is to successfully join the organization and obtain the corresponding permissions.
As for which development path it will take and what level of authority it will obtain, that depends on how skilled Guo Yi is.
In order to accurately assess Guo Yi's level, the assessment team sent from above forced Guo Yi to take it seriously: a research team covering most science disciplines and composed of non-famous national treasure-level researchers!
Therefore, when Guo Yi entered the conference room for the defense, he didn't know how to start the conversation or who to speak to first.
"Haha, don't be nervous."
Just as Guo Yi was wondering how to start the conversation, a middle-aged man in the corner stood up: "I am Yue Mingyuan, the head of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Please take a seat."
"Hello everyone, my name is Guo Yi."
Guo Yi first greeted everyone formally, then apologized, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all to make this trip."
"It's no trouble at all."
Yue Mingyuan shook his head slightly and looked at Guo Yi gently, saying, "Since you have real skills, we'll take this opportunity to hold the next quarterly research funding allocation meeting."
If you don't have the real quality, then we can lower the price of your materials.
After Yue Mingyuan finished speaking, Old Zhou impatiently said, "Guo, let's discuss E-carbon steel..."
"..."
As Guo Yi and Zhou Lao's exchanges continued to deepen, more and more people gradually joined in, and at the same time, more and more questions kept emerging.
As Guo Yi continued to provide answers, the crowd grew increasingly excited, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more heated.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Seeing that Guo Yi's conversation with the elders seemed to be going on and on, Yue Mingyuan quickly raised his voice to stop them, saying, "Everyone, quiet down!"
Under Yue Mingyuan's persistent shouting, the conference room gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at him.
"Everyone, regarding Guo's situation..."
"Alright, let's vote."
Before Yue Mingyuan could finish speaking, Old Zhou impatiently interrupted, "I vote in favor of Ayi setting up his laboratory."
"I agree..."
"agree."
"..."
After Zhou Lao and the others quickly finished voting, they ignored Yue Mingyuan and continued their discussion with Guo Yi: "Ayi, you just said..."
"Professor Zhou, please wait a moment, we haven't decided which department Guo will join yet..."
"Whoosh."
Before Yue Mingyuan could finish speaking, Old Zhou and the others glared at him as if they wanted to devour him, gritting their teeth and saying, "What, is your Ministry of Science and Technology trying to steal our research staff?"
Or do you mean you want Ayi to go to the Science and Technology Association?
The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Scientific Research, and the Ministry of Science and Technology Association are the three ministries that oversee all matters related to scientific research nationwide.
The Ministry of Science and Technology, officially known as the Science and Technology Management and Strategic Research and Development Agency, is responsible for supervising academic and scientific research work, allocating and supervising research funds, and planning key scientific research projects.
The Science and Technology Association Department, officially known as the Science and Technology Technology and Education Operation and Collaboration Service Center, is responsible for patent management, education management, technology revenue generation, and coordination of research personnel and materials, as its name suggests.
The Research Department, officially known as the Science and Technology Research and Development Institute, as the name suggests, does only one thing: research and development!
Therefore, although the three departments are administratively equal, in reality, the Research Department is superior to the other two departments.
Therefore, facing the fiery gazes of Elder Zhou and the others, Yue Mingyuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he couldn't afford to offend them. He quickly shifted the focus, saying, "Elder Zhou, I need to go through the motions, don't be angry."
Oh, by the way, which research division does Guo belong to?
Although many research projects are conducted by multiple disciplines, each project has a leading discipline.
Therefore, the Research Department is a joint entity composed of departments such as Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics.
This is precisely why, in order to get Guo Yi to join their department, Zhou and his colleagues instantly split up, each arguing sharply with the other: "Of course, Guo Yi should come to our physics department!"
"Old Li, it's a waste for Ayi to be in your physics department; he should be in our chemistry department!"
"What, do you think our math department doesn't exist?"
"You two departments can go cool off somewhere else compared to our math department."
"Our chemistry is the foundation of materials science, the core of materials science, and the backbone of materials industry..."
Before the three giants of mathematics, physics, and chemistry could continue arguing, Professor Zhou suddenly interjected: "I have E-carbon steel."
Materials science is either so low that it has no presence at all, or so high that people avoid it.
Whether materials science is considered high or low depends on whether new materials emerge.
No, then materials science can only sit at the same table as biology.
Yes, it is the overlord that transcends all disciplines.
Therefore, when Professor Zhou took out the E-carbon steel, in order to compete for Guo Yi, the three departments of mathematics, physics, and chemistry tacitly joined forces to focus their attacks on Professor Zhou: "What, have you figured out the chemical analysis of the E-carbon steel?"
"What, you're going to make your own products derived from E-carbon steel?"
"What, you don't need us to collect and analyze the data anymore, right?"
"Also, the E-carbon steel was made by Ah Yi, not by your materials department."
"Isn't E-carbon steel a material?"
Old Zhou immediately stood up, puffing out his beard and glaring, roaring, "I don't care, A-Yi must join the Materials Department!"
"What, trying to play the seniority card? I'm older than you, and I don't care, Ah-Yi has to join the math club!"
"Damn it, believe me or not, I'll beat you old bastards to a pulp!"
"..."
Seeing that Zhou Lao and the other three were about to fight, Guo Yi quickly asked the head of the biology department, who was watching the scene unfold, "Professor Feng, are you just going to stand by and watch?"
"Don't worry, with their old arms and legs, they won't fight."
Old Feng offered a reassuring remark, then whispered furtively to Guo Yi, "Ayi, why don't you come to my biology department?"
As soon as you come, I will immediately nominate you as a candidate for the next head of the Biology Department.
Regarding compensation, I will apply for vice-ministerial level benefits for you.
Guo Yi shook his head, then asked, "Professor Feng, can I join all the departments?"
"You want to join all the faculties!?"
"Whoosh!?"
Old Feng's exclamation not only interrupted Old Zhou and the others' argument, but also made everyone turn to look at Guo Yi, who asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
