April 10th, Sunday, sunny.

San Marino, Evan & Audrey's home.

Several ladies were invited, including Virginia, Elizabeth, Kairole and Linda. There were also several Audrey's classmates at the academy.

They sat around the living room, with various freshly baked baked products on the coffee table in the center, as well as several kinds of fruits and freshly squeezed juices.

The ladies chatted while tasting Audrey's works, and praised them from time to time.

Linda sat next to Virginia, smiling very reluctantly.

I knew I shouldn't have come.

She glanced at Audrey with a bright smile and gritted her teeth.

This is a demonstration to me.

But I can only bear it passively, because in this regard, I am a completely weak person.

Very uncomfortable...

Feeling the depressed mood of the people around him, Virginia sighed secretly.

I had already predicted the result, so why did I still show off?

"By the way, where is Audrey, Evan? He usually doesn't go out on weekends?"

"He, I've gone to the college. It seems that he wants to come forward if he has something to do."

"I don't know what exactly is."

...

California Institute of Technology, Warren Leiden Laboratory.

Although it was a weekend, all the labs were present, and even Warren arrived. It was just because several exchange scholars from other universities joined the lab today.

This is a big deal for the laboratory. This shows that the laboratory is a leader in the field of transistors, which has been recognized by the industry. At the same time, the addition of exchange scholars has further strengthened the power of the laboratory.

In this way, Warren is more confident in asking Dubridge for funds.

Someone here is asking why Evan used the school's funds to study transistors. He had all the knowledge in his mind, so why didn't he build a laboratory for research? In this way, all the relevant patents belong to him without having to be divided into part of the interests by the school.

The answer is that although this is not impossible, it is indeed possible to build such a laboratory with Evan's current financial resources. But in fact, it is a bit more costly to do so.

The semiconductor industry, which started with transistors, has high initial costs, but it is more concentrated in customers, almost most of it is military use, and the other half is academic research use. Since it is military use, it is impossible to control it all by Evan alone. As for civil use, it needs to wait until the production cost of transistors drops to an acceptable level.

If the transistor patents are really all in Evan's hands, they will only have to hand over the authorization under pressure from all parties, and the price may not be satisfactory. The authorized transferees are likely to be those - Bell series, IBM series, and Thor.

By then Evan would definitely be so depressed that he would vomit blood.

As for Evan's current practice, he would cultivate a group of relevant practitioners based on the California Institute of Technology. At that time, Evan will be the founder of these people. With these disciples and grandchildren, the semiconductor industry was able to grow, and Evan naturally became the leader and talker in this industry.

By doing so, Evan can not only retain most of the interests of the semiconductor industry, but also gain the greatest influence, but also be able to avoid being targeted by all parties.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. At present, these are still nothing. The first step of the plan is just about to be completed, and at least five to ten years of preparation will be required later.

One of the most important links is when the Nobel Prize will be given to him.

This is very important.

Nobel Prize is good, but as time goes by, the winners get older.

On the one hand, this is because there are more and more academic achievements, and on the other hand, it takes more time to evaluate their significance, so there is a situation where the results are of great significance, but the people who make the results cannot win the prize, because the Nobel Prize is not awarded to dead people.

For Evan, the difficulty of winning the award is that he is too young.

You should know that since the birth of Nobel, only one winner has been less than 30 years old. He is Lawrence Prague, who discovered X-ray diffraction. It only took a few years from discovering the achievement to winning the award. Since then, all winners have been older than 30 years old.

By the way, there is one person around Evan who is in the top ten in the award-winning age, and that person is Professor Carl David Anderson who discovered positrons.

Evan did not doubt whether he could win the Nobel, and the significance of transistors to the world is obvious to all. If he wins the award "as scheduled" like in "historical", he will become the second Nobel Prize winner who is less than 30 years old after Prague.

It depends on whether the Nobel Prize Committee has the courage.

Evan was completely unsure of this, and he was even ready to be deliberately suppressed.

He just hopes that this day will not come too late. It is best to send it to him before the age of 30. That was the beginning of the maturity of the semiconductor industry.

After taking the visiting scholars to visit the laboratory, they couldn't wait to discuss the research they wanted to participate in during the exchange. After some exchange, Evan gave several directions and gave some guidance to a certain extent. There is no need to say more Evan. These people are qualified research scholars, with their own directions and research concepts of interest. Evan only needs to provide resources and platform support. After a while, they will naturally produce results.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Evan, who finally got the project assignment, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and relax and deal with the evening laboratory gathering, Professor Watson found him.

"Professor, why are you here?"

Evan cheered up and greeted, "Do you want a drink?"

"No, thank you."

"Okay..." Evan said this, but did not stop the action.

He is making coffee with unfamiliar techniques.

Watson casually found a chair and sat down, saying, "Do you see you on the weekend?"

"Well, I said I don't need to drink."

Evan shrugged and said, "I know."

"This is for me."

"You're finally a little bit like a researcher." Watson glanced at the alcohol lamp and siphon pot used by Evan, and resisted the desire to criticize him. "Coffee is our best companion."

Evan refused to comment: "Professor, are you here to exchange coffee?"

"Of course not." Watson touched his nose and asked, "Do you know our department will welcome a new department chair?"

"Director? Isn't that your position? Have you been kicked off the stage?" Evan asked in surprise. The next second, he reacted, "No, you seem to be just a temporary replacement."
