Chapter 205 Generous Scientific Sponsors

After resting on the sofa in the office for a while, Zhang Lisheng walked downstairs in a daze and drove back home in high spirits.

In the next three or two days, he didn't go anywhere. After spending August in New York City, he said goodbye to his mother and family and flew directly to San Francisco.

San Francisco, the second largest port city on the Pacific coast of the United States, has a population of more than 4.5 million in the metropolitan area alone, and the prosperity can be imagined.

There are many Chinese people here, with the busiest and oldest Chinatown in the United States. It is one of the must-see cities for every Chinese tourist traveling across the ocean to the country.

However, for Zhang Lisheng, who has lived in New York for two years, other cities in the United States have no appeal.

With his hands empty, he walked out of the San Francisco International Airport with only a credit card and hundreds of meters of cash, and looked back at the airport hall with three huge arched eaves under the empty blue sky and white clouds. He took a deep breath of the refreshing air that seemed to be scented by straw in California, and walked into a taxi.

"Where are young people going?" Seeing that the business is booming and people are approaching middle-aged, the tall and fat black driver was shocked and asked with white teeth on his mouth.

"Stanford."

"Oh, Silicon Valley engineer," the driver's smile became even brighter when he heard it was a 'big job'. "My car is fast and stable, just come up."

The world-famous American electronic technology incubator "Silicon Valley" is located in the Stanford campus. It is obvious that a black driver will not take public transportation after getting off the plane, but will take a taxi directly to his destination hundreds of kilometers away, as a generous computer engineer.

The young man smiled unanimously and did not explain anything. He just leaned his head on the pillow in the back seat of the car and looked out the window without saying a word. The driver saw his cold expression, shrugged, stopped talking, and started the car and drove out of the airport slowly.

The road was full of spacious and straight highways. After more than an hour of driving smoothly, the car arrived at Stanford University, known as the "frontier position of new technology and new education" in the United States.

Compared with Harvard, a prestigious school that has been established for more than 400 years, Stanford, who is only over 100 years younger, can indeed be called the word "new".

However, through the car window, Zhang Lisheng still felt like entering history in the vast campus with an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers.

The taxi drove into the open Stanford campus and consciously slowed down. When the car passed by a few long gown trees side by side, he suddenly said, "Thank you, driver, please park here."

"Young people, this is Stanford's central campus, and there is still a long way from Silicon Valley."

"I'm here to go to Stanford to go to school." Zhang Lisheng smiled, glanced at the meter, took out a few hundred-dollar bills, "No need to find it, I wish you a good return." He walked out of the car.

After getting off the bus, looking around in the bright weather, I found that there were only a few figures riding bicycles on the empty campus. The young man showed a puzzled expression on his face and called Professor Stephen.

"Professor, I'm already in Stanford, but there are almost no people here..."

"No, oh, Li Sheng, how did you come from?"

“I called a taxi at the San Francisco Airport.”

"Oh, it seems that you have gone to the wrong campus for Student Li. Don't you understand that you should usually take the school bus to enter university so that you won't find the wrong place, especially if you are studying in the second largest school in the United States."

"Sorry, I have never had the experience of being dismissed from quit before. This is the first time I went out to study in college," Zhang Lisheng smiled and joked, "What should I do now for the professor?"

"Tell me what buildings and special things are around you, I'll pick you up."

"That's so thankful." The young man looked around, and after a while, he reported three or two distinctive features. After hanging up the phone and waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw the biology teacher who had not met for a long time driving a nearly brand new royal blue double-person SmartBeConcept convertible car and honked the horn.

"Long time no see professor, you look really good. Oh, and you also bought a very 'dazzling' new car." Zhang Lisheng sat in the passenger seat and said with a smile.

"Long time no see, Li Sheng, you look energetic.

Don’t mention this small car, I hate ‘Smart’. Driving on the road is like driving a paper-covered engine, but it is indeed easier to use on campus than a large car," Professor Stephen said with a smile: "Okay, now I will take you to go through the admission procedures."

Judging from his tone and attitude of speaking, after obtaining Stanford's teaching position, his mentality became much smoother and he actually joked.

"Thank you, professor."

"No need Xie Lisheng, this is my commitment to you.

Speaking of which, we were all lucky. Before the government announced the discovery of the 'different world', we published our first paper in the annual journal of Science with the two 'soft shell shape-shielding beetles'. As a result, I became a lifelong professor in the university. You became a graduate student at Stanford a few years in advance."

"I'm talking about it. Today, the two little bugs have a very important position in the history of insect evolution, and they will depreciate a lot. After all, discovering the "different world" means a "species explosion" in the biological sense.

But speaking of this, it is not easy to go to the ‘Another World’ to capture organisms and do research. Even the President’s explicit order opens the ‘Shrimp 2 World’, the government and military are still strictly controlling the spread of species?” Zhang Lisheng replied casually.

"It sounds like you know some information that others don't know, Li Sheng." When talking about biological research, Stephen's eyes lit up, said.

"Yes, professor, I went to the 'Haizha No. 2 World' as a 'Private Investor' three days ago.

I think you should know that after seeing the motor, the main activity place for humans there is a huge island with an area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers.

The American military built a small town on that island, just like an ancient city, with city walls, gates and fortifications. They attracted natives from another world to barter from that small town. Well, I guess they should still try to use a wealth of supplies to tempt and tame those natives.

I went to that small town with many "new cowboys" and had contact with natives. They changed from their worthless spoons and spoons to many strange insects. Unfortunately, the "Star Officer" in the "gathering place" later told me that those insects could not be taken away..."

"God, Li Sheng, you are so lucky that you have already been to another world and have come into contact with the strange species there.

What kind of insects are you exchanging, what is the structure, and does it look similar to the genus Insecta on our planet?"

"Well, the experimental environment is too bad, I can only squeeze those precious experimental materials with my bare hands...

In fact, on that island in another world, these materials should not be precious. I saw many resting soldiers and natives use them for barbecue.

Most of them have a lot of juice, delicate flesh, soft, and are obviously not toxic. They should be summarized by a unified class of insects on Earth, but the size is much larger.

Oh, professor, since ordinary Americans can take a lot to visit another world, if you are interested, why don’t you apply to go there as a researcher?”

"Because I don't have funds," Stephen said irritably: "The use of funds in the laboratory is clearly stipulated. I can use them to buy a laser pulser to bake burgers, or buy myself a new car, but I can't use it to do scientific research in another world.

Because this 'no precedent for use', the damn bureaucrats in the school just used such ridiculous reasons to perfunctory me..."

"Oh, in that case, maybe I can fund you a large-scale scientific investigation of the "Shrimp 2 World". If everything goes well, you can even build a first-class biological laboratory there." Zhang Lisheng's heart suddenly moved, looked at the beautiful campus outside the car window, and spoke with the opportunity.

"What, you are willing to do this, Li Sheng, this is not just a matter of spending millions of yuan to donate a research instrument, it requires much more investment."

"Of course I know this, the professor. In fact, the purpose of my business is to help myself become an outstanding biologist. I will do it for the development of human science, as long as it is financial support within my ability," Zhang Lisheng said proudly: "At present, due to business expansion, I can only spend 50 million.

However, if the funds are returned in a year, if a biological laboratory is really established in another world, I can provide at least $100 million in funding every year. Of course, if future laboratory research can generate commercial returns, I will account for at least half of the share."

"Oh Li Sheng, you just said, 'The purpose of running a business is to help yourself become an outstanding biologist', and now you are so greedy...

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you give so much but don't ask for any reward, it's a very strange thing.

As long as you are willing to spend enough money to fund my research, it doesn’t matter what you want," Stephen said with surprise: "It seems that we are not busy completing your admission procedures for now.

Let’s go first to meet Magte, the head of the biology department at Stanford. I believe he must be very interested in your suggestions just now…”

As he said that, he drove the car and stopped in an emergency. Smart's tires rubbed against the ground and made a "ziz..." sound. The cyclists on the road also stopped the car in a hurry.
