Chapter 601

After receiving the assurance from Director Philok, Academician Guo warmly welcomed Director Philok to join the semiconductor quantum chip project team.

The two people's right hands held each other tightly for a long time before slowly letting go.

"Academician Guo, I will ask you to take care of me from now on." Director Philok said in a polite tone.

Philok knew one thing very well.

Although he and Academician Guo have almost the same qualifications and technical level in the industry as Academician Guo.

but……

He is always an outsider.

And he was also a defeated general.

If nothing else, as long as Academician Guo stays in the project team for one day, Academician Guo will always be his immediate boss.

This cannot be changed.

Even when Academician Guo retires and lives in seclusion a few years later, the position of chief engineer of the project team will not be filled by Director Philok.

Now that he has chosen to join the project team, Philok will have to work part-time for the rest of his life.

If Director Philok wants to live a happy life in China, Academician Guo's care is indispensable.

From now on, Philok can only be a wage earner.

The boss of Philok is Academician Guo.

Philok could only rely on Academician Guo's guidance.

This is the consequence that a defeated general should bear if he chooses to live under someone else’s roof.

However, Director Philok is not that hard to accept this result.

Philok still knows a little about Academician Guo's character and character.

It can be said that...

As long as you don't seek death, you basically won't die.

Don't worry about some unwarranted disaster happening to you unexpectedly.

"Please rest assured, Director Philok. As I said, as long as Director Philok joins the project team sincerely and does not cheat or do other unwise things, our project team will never owe you anything." Academician Guo laughed.

road.

"Then I'm relieved." Director Philok breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Philok, since you have agreed to join our project team, let's go back first. We have arranged your accommodation here. For other things, we can walk and chat in the car." Academician Guo extended his hand to invite.

road.

"As for your reception banquet, Director Philok, it's already early in the morning, and many restaurants are probably closed. But after you officially join our project team, we will definitely make up for it!" Academician Guo promised.

Director Philok nodded and smiled slightly, "Everything depends on Academician Guo's arrangement."

"Okay, let's go back to the laboratory first." Academician Guo waved his hand.

At this time, Gu Lu, who had been acting as a crowd-pleaser on the side, strode over, opened the door, and asked Academician Guo and Director Philok to sit in the back seat of the business car, while Gu Lu sat in the passenger seat on the driver's side.

In the driving position.

"Go back to the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Gu Lu told the driver.

…………

The car started slowly and drove through the night on the lonely road.

In the back seat of the commercial vehicle, Academician Guo and Director Philok were still discussing in low voices.

Director Philok is confirming some details with Academician Guo.

For example, specific salary, accommodation and food, as well as specific positions held and responsibilities.

Academician Guo gave Director Philok accurate answers to some questions.

certainly.

Academician Guo was still hesitating about some questions and only gave Director Philok an ambiguous answer.

For example...

What role will Director Philok play in the next development of quantum computers?

If it's too important?

Academician Guo is worried that Director Philok will leak secrets at any risk.

But if Director Philok is only assigned a small and insignificant role, then what is the purpose of recruiting Director Philok, a great person?

Academician Guo chose to accept Director Philok not just to make Director Philok a mascot, nor to deliberately disgust IBM.

But I really hope that Director Philok can join the project team to do practical things, thereby driving the overall progress of the project team.

After all, Director Philok's real talent and knowledge in the field of quantum computers is still very high, no less than anyone in the current project team.

then.

Academician Guo was caught in a dilemma.

In a short period of time, no effective solution has been thought of.

Therefore, Academician Guo did not give a clear answer to the question of the specific research content that Director Philok was responsible for.

Director Philok seemed to have roughly guessed what Academician Guo was thinking, so he did not pursue the question relentlessly.

Soon, many questions were settled through questions and answers from Philok and Academician Guo.

After talking about business, it was still not far before arriving at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so Director Philok chatted with Academician Guo about other things.

"Academician Guo, there is a question that I have been curious about for a long time. I wonder if you can explain it to me?" After pondering for a while, Director Philokk stroked his beard and asked softly.

"Well, tell me." Academician Guo leaned back in his chair and said leisurely.

Having just won over such a great figure as Director Philok, Academician Guo felt very happy.

"How did you surpass us in progress within a week before the quantum computer was developed?" Director Philok stared at Academician Guo with a burning gaze.

Director Philok is sure.

One week before the birth of the quantum computer, the progress of the semiconductor quantum chip project team was slower than that of their IBM quantum computing center.

Not even a little bit slow.

but……

In just one week, the semiconductor quantum chip project team achieved a lead, and a corner overtaking caught everyone in their IBM Quantum Computing Center off guard.

Director Philok has always been curious about how the project team achieved this.

Director Philok had been holding this question in his mind for a long time, but now he couldn't hold it in any longer, so Director Philok asked.

Director Philok admitted that he had failed, but he did not want his failure to be so unclear.

Since I met Academician Guo today, Philok must figure this issue out.

After hearing Director Philok's question, Academician Guo smiled in a low voice.

Director Philokk frowned, "Academician Guo, why are you laughing?"

"I was laughing. You asked the wrong person this question. I was lying in the hospital the week before the quantum computer was successfully developed!" Academician Guo said with a smile.

yes!

Academician Guo was hospitalized at that time.

Director Philok only remembered this detail.

So……

In other words, the project team completed that incredible comeback without the huge help of Academician Guo.

Director Philok was even more curious about how the project team achieved this.

"Then I, Academician Guo, who should I ask?" Director Phillock was as curious as a cat scratching his heart.
Chapter completed!
