Chapter 14 Joining the laboratory; Who are you? Are you qualified to participate in the project? (Please collect and read.)
“But it’s not that easy to copy this thing.” Lu Ze muttered to himself.
After all, it is not so easy to get hold of such a powerful weapon.
Not to mention the big mushroom, even the conventional top-level technology is not something that a newly employed intern researcher like him can participate in.
As for what specific technological items to copy, you can only act according to circumstances. If you see something worth copying, just copy it without hesitation.
After all, no one can say for sure whether there will be another opportunity for such close contact next time.
“I can ask Daxia later if there is any technology suitable for them…” Lu Ze suddenly thought of this.
Last time at DUKE University, there weren't any very good copying conditions.
We have come to the most advanced national laboratory in the United States, so we should bring back some local specialties, right?
He didn't bring it before he came, and he still hasn't brought it after he came. So didn't Lu Ze come here in vain?
Putting aside all the thoughts in his mind, Lu Ze stepped into the LLNL National Laboratory.
This huge complex of buildings covers an area of 330 hectares in the main laboratory headquarters alone, with more than 500 research and experimental facilities, and thousands of people conducting scientific research here at the same time.
After he simply filled out his resume at the front desk, he was given an access card for external personnel.
In this busy laboratory, no one even took the initiative to pay attention to Lu Ze, the intern.
Not even a smile, not a greeting.
However, looking at this familiar scene.
"This is not bad. It's not much different from the treatment I received at Duke University. It saves me a lot of effort."
Lu Ze smiled.
This familiar feeling came back, and he didn't need too much adjustment to get into the state perfectly. He had been living like this for the past six months in the Materials Engineering Laboratory at Duke University.
Lu Ze knew in his heart why these people acted this way.
After all, anyone who can work in the LLNL laboratory, even if he is not the one who followed Washington into the country with the Stars and Stripes, must have some special BUFF on him.
Lu Ze's identity is simply a joke here. Which Union Jack are you? Are you qualified to participate in the core project?
It is impossible for other senior people from Mangkhut to get in, so it is really out of place for a summer overseas student to be in a national laboratory.
And the most important thing is that he doesn't know how to take the initiative to come and toast others. Isn't this courting death?
In Daxia, people with skills and abilities don’t have to toast, but here in Yingjiang, you’re either at the table or on the menu.
Obviously, Lu Ze is not even qualified to be on other people's menus at the moment.
However, even because of these identities, the people in the LLNL laboratory wouldn't be so indifferent to him, right?
By transferring him to the national laboratory, isn't it just a psychological tactic that the Eagle Sauce and the people from Duke University want to use to make him yearn for the scientific research environment here and work honestly for them?
Now that he's being treated like this, aren't you afraid that he'll become resentful?
Or was it just a coincidence with a very small probability that he was promoted to the national laboratory?
However, this speculation was quickly overturned by him. In a country like the United States, he did not believe in so-called coincidences. All the seemingly beautiful things here had already been marked with prices in the future.
Just as Lu Ze was sitting on a chair, his brain was rapidly thinking about various intentions.
Suddenly, a cough was heard above his head.
"Ah, you are Lu?" A slightly old voice came slowly. "I am Michael Hasen, your instructor at the LLNL laboratory. You can also call me Hasen."
The middle-aged man in a white lab coat and with a few stubborn hairs on his head extended his hand amiably.
"Hello, Professor Michael." Lu Ze also extended his hand: "I am Lu!"
"Let me introduce you to the various departments in the laboratory, as well as our main experimental environment." Michael Hassen walked in front and began to explain the place to Lu Ze.
Following his instructor and listening, Lu Ze finally understood.
Why are these people's attitudes even colder than when he was at DUKE University? At least when he was at DUKE University, most people would still give him a smile. It's good enough that he doesn't get slapped in the face here.
If my previous graduate teacher was like a master who led me to the door, now I have to rely on myself for practice.
Now in the LLNL laboratory, he is probably facing an even worse situation, although Professor Michael Hasson is a nice person and seems very easy to get along with.
However, the professor faces a huge challenge: his age.
He is almost sixty years old. Even though there is no so-called clear retirement age in the United States, this age will not allow him to take on almost all major projects.
Moreover, Michael Hasson's own scientific research ability is not strong to begin with, and he is already so old. In a year or two, he will probably be transferred to other subsidiary institutes by LLNL to "retire" in peace, or he may be sent to the society by LLNL laboratory to become an "elite".
Even the laboratory instructor is the most unknown and marginalized one in the entire research team. It is quite normal for Lu Ze to be treated like this.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ze curled the corners of his mouth.
Is the Eagle Sauce also using this optimization trick? As expected of old-fashioned capitalism, it has many tricks up its sleeve.
Just because I haven't specified a retirement age doesn't mean I can't just ignore you.
It seems that Duke University and the Eagle Sauce are indeed planning to let him enter the LLNL laboratory as bait, just as he guessed.
It’s a pity that the idea of the Eagle Sauce was good, but the people at LLNL failed to execute it well.
"Okay, then you just adapt to the environment here." Michael Hassan smiled.
"Okay!" Lu Ze nodded.
"If you have any questions, you can call me for consultation!" Michael Hassan turned and walked out of the laboratory door. For him, it was time to get off work.
'This is going to be difficult.'
With this depressed mood, Lu Ze walked out of the laboratory
He was thinking in his mind how to get close to the core circle and successfully copy technological items.
After all, this is the country's top laboratory, not the materials engineering laboratory in their DUKE University, which allows him to easily enter the core area.
There are dozens of subordinate departments alone, and countless research institutes of various categories. As a peripheral researcher who has just joined, he has no access to those top-level technological items at all.
Even observing it from a distance is a problem, let alone touching it for five seconds.
To be honest, the Professor Hassan he follows now is not much better than him. He is almost sixty years old and has long been marginalized in the laboratory. It can be said that he can not be relied on.
(PS: In foreign countries, teachers and professors are addressed with the prefix "Dr", but this is too strange to write in Chinese, so we always address them with the surname + title.)
