Chapter 745 Reuse

"stop!"

Just as the soldiers were about to check, a voice came from the courtyard, and then a gray-haired old man came out with three old men wearing glasses.

"Hello, Chief!"

When the soldiers saw the person coming, they saluted the old man in unison.

"Okay, this is our institute's vice president, Comrade Zhou Tian. No need to check!"

After the old man finished speaking to the soldiers, he quickly walked up to Zhou Tian and said with a smile, "Xiaotian, I have been looking forward to your coming for a long time. I didn't expect that this day would finally come!"

"Hello, Chief!"

When Zhou Tian saw the old man, he immediately saluted him, then scratched his head and said, "Commander, you are joking. It is an honor for Zhou Tian to be praised by the commander!"

"Okay. Stop being so modest. Okay, let me introduce you to the leaders of our three groups. This is Professor Huang Mingxuan, this is Professor Shangguan Hong, and this is Professor Liu Chunshan! They have all heard of your name for a long time. Now that they know you are reporting here today, they insist on letting me bring them along to meet you!"

As the old man spoke, he introduced the three old men behind him to Zhou Tian one by one.

"Hello, Professor Huang, Professor Shangguan, and Professor Liu. Thanks to all of you for your kindness. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you three!"

Zhou Tian immediately shook hands with the three professors and said modestly.

"Hahaha, no way! We three old fellows are very familiar with the name of Young Master Zhou Tian. The fact that Young Master Zhou Tian was able to develop a world-leading semi-CNC machine tool is enough to make us three old fellows ashamed!"

Professor Liu smiled first.

"Yes, when we first learned your age from the leader, we were all shocked. Now it seems that we are all old!"

Professor Shangguan also smiled and continued speaking.

"Okay, let's not get cold outside. Let's go back to the institute first! Xiaotian has already come to our institute, so there will be plenty of time in the future!"

Looking at the few people talking politely to each other, the old man couldn't help but speak.

"Look at me, okay, let's go back first!"

As they spoke, the four of them got into the car and directed Zhou Tian to drive the car into the courtyard and stop. Then they got out of the car and walked towards the house.

There are not many rooms in the entire compound, only about thirty houses in total, most of which are bungalows. There are also very few people in the yard. I don’t know if they are busy or if they haven’t come out because it’s cold.

"Why do you feel that there are not enough people in our Fifth Research Institute?"

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Zhou Tian's heart, the dean asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Zhou Tian to answer, he explained: "In fact, the Fifth Research Institute is just an office for outsiders. The real Fifth Research Institute is over there!"

As he spoke, the dean pointed his hand forward.

"In the mountains?"

Zhou Tian looked in the direction the dean pointed and couldn't help but be stunned, but then he suddenly realized. He remembered many rumors about the secret research institute in his previous life, as if they were all deep in the mountains.

"How is it? Do you understand? Actually, the number of people in the Fifth Research Institute is no less than that of the Red Heart Research Institute where you worked before. However, the Fifth Research Institute is generally focused on research and does not involve factories. Of course, there are still a series of supporting facilities of the school, but they are all in the cave!"

As they were talking, they came to an office with a sign that said "Dean's Office" and pushed the door open and walked in.

Instantly, as I entered the office, a feeling of warmth came over me.

The furnishings in the office are simple, with only a table, a few chairs, and a sofa. Apart from that, there is only a bed, which should be the place where the dean rests.

"Come, take a seat. Don't be polite. I don't come here often, so it's a bit shabby. Xiaotian, please don't despise me!"

The dean sat on the sofa and motioned for everyone to sit down. Then he looked at Zhou Tian and said, "Xiaotian, the living conditions here are definitely not as good as those at the Red Heart Institute, but the equipment is not inferior at all. To be honest, I am very surprised that you can come to the Fifth Institute this time!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the three team leaders: "Although we are researching missiles here, we are still very short of personnel, especially talents like you. I have already made an agreement with Professor Liu and the others that everything here will be handed over to you! I am only responsible for providing logistics!"

"Commander, this! I just arrived..."

When Zhou Tian heard what the dean said, he immediately stood up and was about to refute, but was interrupted by the dean waving his hand.

"I know you're new here, but the achievements you've made are remarkable, and the three team leaders agree with my point of view. After all, isn't it said that professional matters should be left to professionals?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, the chief's words are also our opinions!"

Professor Shangguan on the side also agreed. If someone else who didn't understand technology was appointed as vice president, or was in charge of the affairs of the entire institute, they would naturally be unwilling. However, if it was Zhou Tian, ​​they naturally had nothing to say.

After all, Zhou Tian is far superior to them in terms of contribution to the country and technology, so they naturally would not disagree.

As the saying goes, people who work in technology are stubborn and simple-minded. If you want to convince them, you have to surpass them in technology. Zhou Tian is obviously one of them.

"Well, in that case, I can only thank the three professors and the dean for their kindness!"

Having said this, Zhou Tian had no choice but to agree. If he said that he came to the Fifth Institute just to be a pure researcher, that would be a lie. After all, only those who have held power in their hands know how tempting the charm of power is.

Although he cannot reach a certain level due to his own shortcomings, he is not really willing to be a researcher for the sake of research freedom.

Seeing that Zhou Tian agreed, the four of them couldn't help but reveal satisfied smiles on their faces. Then the dean and the three began to introduce Zhou Tian to the current situation of the institute and some confidential research projects.

The entire Fifth Academy has a total of no less than 10,000 people, of whom 300 are experts and professors, and 2,000 are college students, of which 90% are science and engineering students.

The rest are all senior workers. It can be said that the Fifth Institute cannot compare with the Red Star Institute in terms of senior workers and talents.

And this does not include the logistics staff. In fact, the logistics staff of the institute is not less than the number of people in the institute, and may even be more, reaching 23,000 people. There are not only family members of the institute, but also various personnel who provide logistics support for the entire institute.

After all, the entire institute has to support more than 10,000 people, so it would be inappropriate to have too few logistics staff.

Of course, not all of these people live in the institute, but are organized into small units.
