Chapter 977 Not the Same Family
It often took years before a product could go from research and development to production.
That was normally the case.
However, when it came to the China National Nuclear Corporation, it often took much less time.
Not just because of w.a.n.g Zengguang’s own experience and strength, but also because of his networks in the electrical engineering field.
Even if he encountered a problem he couldn’t solve, he could easily find an expert to help him solve the problem.
Of course, even though he was more than capable, most of the design work was still done by Beep Beep Charging’s team.
This was Lu Zhou’s request.
“… Not bad, just follow the design.” Academician w.a.n.g looked at the new design and handed the blueprints back to w.a.n.g Qiang.
It was almost like a weight had been lifted off w.a.n.g Qiang’s shoulders, and he sighed in relief.
The past month was h.e.l.l for him and his research and development team.
Not just because of the lack of manpower, but also because they had to deal with the expert from the China National Nuclear Corporation.
Academician w.a.n.g’s student, Yao, often criticized and nitpicked their work, making them do the same thing over and over again…
Even though he wanted to give up, he thought about how much he had given up by moving all the way from Shanghai and decided to persevere.
Academician w.a.n.g looked at w.a.n.g Qiang and smiled.
“Nicely done. To tell you the truth, I thought you guys were going to quit. I was going to get some people from the China National Nuclear Corporation and give the project to Academician Lu.”
w.a.n.g Qiang held the designs in his hand tightly. He then took a deep breath and asked, “Can I ask a question?”
Academician w.a.n.g took a sip of tea and spoke to the young man standing in front of his desk.
“Go ahead.”
“Since the China National Nuclear Corporation is so powerful… Why aren’t the people from there doing this project? If you think we’re incapable, why not fire us? You can easily find someone better.”
w.a.n.g Qiang knew his question was a little strange.
Because there was no reason for the China National Nuclear Corporation to help Star Sky Technology.
However, Chief Engineer Academician w.a.n.g was willing to guide them on this project.
After hearing w.a.n.g Qiang’s question, w.a.n.g Zengguang smiled.
“A month ago, I asked Academician Lu a question over the phone. I’m a perfectionist. I was afraid my standards would force you guys to quit. Guess what Academician Lu said?”
w.a.n.g Qiang thought for a long time and shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
Academician w.a.n.g smiled and said, “He said, you guys can quit if you want, someone else will take your place! But if one of you guys stays behind, it will be worth it!”
Academician w.a.n.g looked at w.a.n.g Qiang and spoke.
“So I was surprised to see all five of you still working here. This is more important than wireless charging stations.
“As the leader of this project, I hope you will remember that technology is always relative, and there will be one day where a piece of technology becomes outdated, but…” Academician w.a.n.g reached out and gently poked w.a.n.g Qiang’s forehead before saying, “Only knowledge and creativity last forever.”
Technology is always relative…
w.a.n.g Qiang finally understood why Academician Lu didn’t care about losing manpower, and why Academician Lu insisted on them working on the project personally.
The ones that quit just weren’t meant to be.
The technology could always be improved.
The important part wasn’t their abilities, but it was their determination to become better and cultivate their courage to complete an almost impossible task.
Academician Lu could easily receive help from the China National Nuclear Corporation, and the entire nuclear energy industry in China would be more than happy to help him with the charging station project.
However, Lu Zhou didn’t only care about technology.
What he wanted was a scientific research team that could continuously develop new and creative technologies!
Just like how he cultivated talents for the controllable nuclear fusion and aeros.p.a.ce industry, even though he left the ion thruster and nuclear fusion field, the technology was still being improved.
Academician w.a.n.g looked at the young man and nodded.
He knew that the young man understood his words, so he stood up and smiled.
“Okay, the first-generation design of the wireless charging stations is in your hand. I won’t bother you guys anymore. I’ll call Academician Lu tonight and go back to Beijing tomorrow. I have one piece of advice, which is to continue trying your best, whether it’s this charging station project or something else, your future is limitless!”
“Thank you.” w.a.n.g Qiang went silent for a while and suddenly said, “Can I call you teacher?”
Academician w.a.n.g smiled and spoke.
“If you want to. I’ve taught you guys many things, so it wouldn’t be inappropriate. Oh yeah, what do you plan on calling this thing?”
w.a.n.g Qiang paused for a second and spoke.
“BB… BB charging.”
“BB?” Academician w.a.n.g looked at him in disbelief as he said, “I know your company is called BB, but you’re calling the product BB as well?”
w.a.n.g Qiang: “Yeah… Is there a problem?”
Academician w.a.n.g opened his mouth and asked, “Did Academician Lu come up with this name?”
“No…” w.a.n.g Qiang scratched his head and said, “CEO Li… Beep Beep Charging CEO Li Tinghui came up with the name. Apparently, Academician Lu was going to change the name, but he didn’t end up changing it. Is there a problem with this name?”
“Nothing, I was just wondering… You guys are on your own now, I have to go.”
Academician w.a.n.g looked at his student and signaled him to follow him. They then walked to the door of the office.
The old academician was about to leave the office when he suddenly sighed and spoke.
“It takes one to know one.
“I guess Old Lu just likes people who are horrible at naming things!”
Yao Hong, who was next to Academician w.a.n.g, nearly tripped on the floor.
Academician w.a.n.g laughed and spoke.
“Take it easy.”
Yao Hong looked at his supervisor and spoke.
“Oh, okay…”
I guess naming abilities and academic abilities are inversely related…
No wonder I’m not as smart as Professor Lu…
