275: Chapter 275 Physical Review Letters!

Spending two days, Zhao Yang organized the scattered derivation process into a rigorously structured formal paper.

He had Shin-chan scan it into the computer to check for omissions and errors, as well as to verify all formula citations and formatting.

After confirming everything was correct.

Zhao Yang directly opened the editorial email for 'Physical Review Letters'.

The status of this journal in the Physics community was beyond doubt, even if its impact factor wasn't as high as 'Nature Physics'.

However, in terms of professionalism and standing within the Physics community, it absolutely far surpassed Nature magazine.

For a top-tier paper with such strong professionalism, publishing in 'Physical Review Letters' was naturally more appropriate.

After filling out the author information and abstract, Zhao Yang chose to submit directly.

After submitting, Zhao Yang leaned back against his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was finally over for now. He was confident in the quality of this paper; once it was accepted, combined with the rewards from the system mission, his Physics level should be able to reach LV5.

Upgrading from LV4 to LV5 required a full 200,000 experience points. Although the amount was massive, with the double boost from the gold-grade mission's base reward and the experience points gained from the paper itself, it should be enough.

He just wondered what kind of specific branch skills he would obtain when Physics reached LV5, like with his previous subjects?

A flicker of anticipation flashed in Zhao Yang's eyes.

As for that diamond-grade reward mission card, Zhao Yang wasn't ready to use it just yet. High-level missions often came with immense mental exhaustion; he would wait until this paper was accepted and his Physics level increased.

He needed to rest for a bit now, adjust his state, and handle the backlog of external affairs in the meantime.

Zhao Yang picked up his phone and called Professor Wang Wenyuan, simply stating that his seclusion had ended. Wang Wenyuan told him over the phone to get more rest and didn't ask many questions.

After hanging up, Zhao Yang made another call to Chen Haifeng.

He inquired about the company's overall operations and financial situation over the past month.

On the other end of the line, Chen Haifeng gave a rough report on sales data and the progress of production capacity expansion. The construction of the new branch factory was also proceeding steadily.

Notably, during the month Zhao Yang was in seclusion.

Due to the expansion of production capacity and the rollout of distribution channels, the company's accounts had gained nearly 1.2 billion in cash!

This wealth-generating ability even left Zhao Yang quite shocked.

He hadn't expected that the civilian demand for this stuff would actually be so huge?

Wait, perhaps it wasn't just civilians.

Zhao Yang was lost in thought.

After finishing the work report, Chen Haifeng's tone shifted.

“By the way, Boss, I've already found several of the villas you asked me to look for. One of them fits your requirements perfectly. That villa is still within the Fifth Ring Road, with very convenient transportation and extremely high privacy.”

Zhao Yang nodded and said, “Send me the address, I'll go take a look.”

He called his driver, Wang Hai. Ten minutes later, Wang Hai pulled up the armored SUV in front of the apartment building.

Soon, Zhao Yang arrived at the destination and, together with Chen Haifeng who had been waiting there early, inspected the villa.

This villa area was located between the Third and Fourth Ring Roads. Although in the core urban area, the environment was quiet due to planning, isolated from the noisy streets; and since the location wasn't remote, the surrounding road network was developed and transportation was convenient.

The landscaping of the community was excellent, with lush trees and even a small man-made lake nearby.

The most crucial part was that the villa itself occupied nearly three acres. The main building was a typical European style, three stories high.

Furthermore, there was a basement storage room with an area of several hundred square meters beneath the building. In the land-starved urban area of Yanjing, this was a rare condition.

Zhao Yang walked around the inside and outside of the villa, focusing his inspection on the basement's load-bearing structure, ceiling height, and the layout of the ventilation ducts.

This place almost perfectly met Zhao Yang's needs for establishing his next private laboratory.

After seeing the house, Zhao Yang didn't hesitate and made the decision on the spot.

“This is the one. Handle the procedures as quickly as possible.”

Chen Haifeng immediately contacted the developer. After a brief price negotiation, they finally secured this top-tier villa with nearly 300 million in cash, paid in full.

After buying the villa, Zhao Yang began giving procurement instructions to Chen Haifeng on the way back.

“Arrange for someone to start purchasing small supercomputer server clusters through formal commercial channels. Additionally, we need to procure a large amount of high-precision experimental equipment. At this stage, prioritize instruments for top-grade Biology and Chemistry experiments; I'll email you the list. There's no budget limit, I only want the best.”

“Understood, Boss!”

Chen Haifeng agreed immediately.

Although Chen Haifeng didn't understand why Zhao Yang specifically wanted to buy such a private residence to build a laboratory.

After all, couldn't a laboratory be built anywhere? Why make it so complicated and troublesome?

But Chen Haifeng was tactful enough not to ask more. After all, his boss was just too incredible! It was normal to have some secrets; asking would only be annoying and serve no purpose.

After speaking with Chen Haifeng, Zhao Yang began thinking about the large-scale renovation project for the villa's underground area.

To house industrial motherboards and large experimental equipment, the current basement height and area weren't enough. It would have to be deeply excavated and expanded, with independent industrial circuits and ventilation filtration systems installed.

This kind of renovation was a massive undertaking, and there were many aspects that were non-compliant or even touched the bottom line of municipal planning.

Zhao Yang was also aware of these administrative hurdles. So before the renovation blueprints were finished, he specifically called General Li. He explained his need for a private laboratory and requested the military to give him the green light on approval procedures. General Li agreed immediately, stating he would arrange for people to notify the relevant departments, ensuring no one would investigate the villa's illegal construction issues.

As for the massive funds for purchasing equipment and renovating the villa, these accounts were naturally all billed to Spark Technology's corporate account. In any case, under the equity structure, he had absolute control over the entire company, so there was no resistance to fund allocation.

Returning to the apartment, Zhao Yang spent the entire afternoon.

He drew out all the renovation blueprints for the villa that he had been considering for a long time, along with various professional plans for ventilation, load-bearing, and explosion-proofing; with his mastery of drawing, these were naturally minor matters.

Moreover, concerning the renovation plan for the villa, Zhao Yang had thought it through long ago, so drawing it didn't take much effort at all.

He then sent all these materials along with the equipment procurement list to Chen Haifeng via email. The remaining supervision and execution could be left to Chen Haifeng to handle.

After handling these tedious trifles.

Zhao Yang glanced at the time; it was already evening.

He went downstairs and had Wang Hai drive him directly to Li Yan's apartment in that high-end community.

Without telling Li Yan beforehand, Zhao Yang used his fingerprint to unlock the code lock and pushed the door open to enter.

Li Yan was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Hearing the door, she turned her head and was startled to see it was Zhao Yang.

But soon, she put down her book, her face full of smiles, looking at Zhao Yang with gentle eyes as he walked over.

She was dressed very casually today. A loose beige sweater and a pair of slim-fitting light-colored casual pants on her lower half outlined her great curves. It seemed casual, but in Zhao Yang's eyes, this outfit perfectly showcased her mature charm.
