The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 569 Amateur Scientist
"We're just afraid of implicating the teacher, aren't we?" the person in charge said with a grin. "The teacher gives us jobs, pays us salaries, and provides us with a platform to showcase our skills. If we were to implicate you again, I would feel terrible."

"You actually have a conscience," Liu Hua said, his expression twitching. "If you had just told me beforehand, you wouldn't have had to attend that class. Do you think I'm made of paper? That I can't protect you all?"

"We'll find out later," the person in charge said with a smile. "Teacher, I promise I won't hide anything from you from you from now on and just add those random, unnecessary features."

“If you have a good idea, just do it. Don’t be shy or afraid.” Liu Hua shook his head: “Sometimes your good idea might be what the country needs. If you don’t do it, or if you are afraid to do it, then we will be the ones who suffer.”

"Teacher, we actually have another idea," the person in charge said with ill intent. "We originally wanted to install a robotic arm on the satellite so that if it gets close enough to another country's satellite, we could dismantle it."

Tired, destroy it.

Liu Hua swallowed hard: "We can research robotic arms and install them on satellites to dismantle other people's satellites, but let's not talk about that for now. We're not powerful enough to do something so outrageous. Let's keep a low profile."

"If we're not going to dismantle other people's satellites, then why are we researching this robotic arm?"

"Won't this come in handy when we have a space station in the future?" Liu Hua said with a smile. "Installing a mobile robotic arm on the outside of the space station can help astronauts do a lot of things."

"That makes sense."

Liu Hua said with a smile, "If you guys are really that free, why don't you study global positioning? Although our first Beidou satellite was launched a few years ago, we really can't have more people like this. Every extra person can contribute more."

The person in charge shook his head: "I'm sorry, teacher, we are not up to the task. The key to global positioning satellites is not the satellites themselves, but the global positioning algorithm, which is not our strength."

"Ah, to be honest, you're not math majors, so you're definitely lacking in this area." Liu Hua nodded. "Alright, go ahead and do your thing. If you can build a quantum communication satellite, that would be even better."

"It's not impossible. We need to cultivate talent in quantum physics and communications."

The person in charge was secretly pleased. If they could really develop a quantum communication satellite, then in the history of satellite development in the People's Republic of China, even if they couldn't reach the level of Mr. Sun, they would still be in the second tier.

Liu Hua waved his hand dismissively: "Tell the HR department what you need. As long as it's for the quantum communication satellite, I'll approve it all, give it the green light."

Liu Hua even had a vague feeling that perhaps these young men could actually build a quantum communication satellite.

The company's HR department really came up with a plan. They quickly started recruiting quantum physics talent from the community, hiring twenty from universities and even ten amateur scientists from the general public.

The person in charge complained, "I don't know what you HR people are thinking. If you can't recruit fresh graduates, you can poach them! But hiring ten amateur scientists—what kind of roles can these ten people play in our future projects? I feel embarrassed." The HR manager explained with a forced smile, "For this recruitment, I invited two top experts in quantum physics in China to help. These ten amateur scientists were recruited only after passing their professors' tests. And they're not just ordinary scientists; they also pursued quantum physics research while working in other professions after graduating from university. Our two examiners said that their thinking has its unique aspects."

Indeed, these ten scientists had a unique approach and played a significant role in the construction of the quantum satellite.

In particular, one of these ten people had become a Taoist priest, and this was a way for him to enter the world and cultivate his mind. His unique Yin-Yang theory to explain quantum entanglement was surprisingly in line with quantum theory.

What Liu Hua didn't know was that before he traveled through time, two scientists had used a high-speed camera to capture images of photon entanglement that resembled the yin-yang symbol from ancient my country. Perhaps our ancient ancestors had already perceived the quantum state.

Recently, some people have started comparing Liu Hua to a Westerner named Ma Jianjun. The reason for this comparison is that Ma Jianjun is involved in new energy vehicles and also owns his own aerospace company called SpaceX.

Upon seeing his name, Liu Hua knew who he was. There's no denying that he's a remarkable person, but some people in China always blame the entire development of electric vehicles in the country on him.

Because of some of Comrade Ma Jianjun's open-source patents, everyone thinks that our country's electric vehicle development is only due to Ma Jianjun's open-source patents, and that our development is all thanks to using other people's patents for free.

In fact, by the time Liu Hua traveled through time, there were more than two million patents for electric vehicles worldwide, while this Comrade Ma Kaiyuan had only published more than three hundred patents. After removing some duplicates and similar ones, there were actually only more than two hundred patents.

When Liu Hua transmigrated, Ma Kaiyuan himself only had a little over two thousand patents. These open-source patents accounted for less than ten percent of his total patents. If viewed on a global scale, these two hundred-plus patents were even less significant.

A Hong Kong-based Chinese-language newspaper, the Hong Kong Morning Post, even came to interview Liu Hua, wanting to ask him how he views the current online comparisons between him and Comrade Ma Jianjun.

“What can I do? I’ll just sit here and watch,” Liu Hua said humorously. “Comrade Ma Jianjun is younger and more energetic than me, which is something I can’t match. Moreover, I greatly admire his attitude towards his work, and I believe he has a bright future.”

While taking notes, the reporter smiled and said, "Actually, Ma Jianjun's achievements today are entirely due to having a better platform. If Academician Liu Hua had been willing to develop on Wall Street back then, your achievements would be far greater than they are today."

Liu Hua sneered a few times: "You can use that to fool those ignorant people. I have a clear picture of the fate of my Wang An Computer. If I had gone to the West back then, I might be homeless on some street now."

"How could that be? You are a genius, a talent, and Western society respects talent."

Liu Hua shook his head: "If you lie too much, you'll even start to believe yourself. Always remember, lies are only for deceiving others, don't deceive yourself."
