From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Nevada, near Groom Lake.

Many people's impression of the surrounding area of ​​Groom Lake is that it is barren, but it has become busy now. There are many transport vehicles on the newly built road, and various staff are constantly loading and unloading goods, and there are more in the large open space. people are busy.

This is the main experimental base of the Groom Lake Project.

The Groom Lake plan announced that it would manufacture new equipment, and it received support from all directions. With enough support, the plan went very smoothly.

A large number of ordered equipment and materials were delivered, and many people participated in nearby construction projects.

Although the research has a certain degree of confidentiality, the project team of the Groom Lake Project is obviously very high-profile. They claim that the new equipment can create a strong annihilation force field with a seven-fold rate, and they believe that after the new equipment is manufactured, it will soon be able to catch up with anti-gravity Technology from the Center for Sexuality Research.

"We are only one generation away at most!"

"The new equipment can support the creation of a seven-fold field force, and as we all know, the anti-gravity research center is an eight-fold."

"The gap isn't that big anymore."

"We will soon be able to master the manufacturing technology of magnetized materials, and we can also conduct some other related experimental research..."

Ronald Nolan told reporters.

Against this high-profile background, many influential officials frequently visited the experimental base, and some large media were also able to conduct interviews outside.

A large number of reports also brought a lot of attention.

The Groom Lake Project has long been more than just a research project. It has become a political propaganda chip in the hands of some people. As long as the research can go smoothly, it will be able to gain a lot of support, including the support of the elite .

The strong annihilation force field technology is related to too many fields.

Ronald Nolan showed a confident look. He talked a lot about the technology and R\u0026D imagination after the equipment is manufactured, but in fact, the top academic circles are very clear about their so-called new equipment and anti-gravity mentality. Compared with the research center, there is still a big difference.

The project team of the Groom Lake Project announced that the new equipment can create a 7-fold annihilation force field, but it is difficult to understand how high the specific field force can be.

Also, the stability of the new device is an issue.

The equipment of the International Annihilation Theory Organization has already shown instability problems. After they built the nuclear reactor, they did not even dare to do some ordinary experiments, and could only continue to maintain the operation of the equipment.

That was almost becoming a drag.

The impact of this kind of instability is so great that it will cause the equipment manufactured with great expense to become useless.

There is another very crucial question.

Just like a question from an official of the O League, "The outer layer of the field force needs to be wrapped by a magnetic field device. How to mass-produce magnetized materials?"

This question cannot be answered at all.

It is impossible for the project team of the Groom Lake Project to come up with a solution. They can only think that it is a technical problem, which can be solved by slowly researching after the equipment is manufactured.

After all materials and equipment have been transported to the experimental base, the next step is to install and debug the equipment according to the design.

Ronald Nolan has made a decision. He is going to recall the scientists working for the International Annihilation Theory Organization.

This decision is not surprising.

Many people have made similar suggestions before, because they want to create new equipment, and the scientists working on the Annihilation organization are experienced.

Now for the installation and debugging of new equipment, it is natural to find a group of experienced scientists, so that many detours can be avoided, and many problems can be easily solved in the process.

...

Ronald Nolan has the right to recall the scientists of Oblivion.

Those scientists were all members of the Groom Lake project team, but they were sent to work in the International Annihilation Theory Organization.

Of course, it is impossible for them to recall everyone, and there must be some personnel left in the Annihilation Organization.

Empoli Kubo is one of them.

It turned out that American's team of scientists had more than 20 people, but now there are only a few pitiful ones left, which also made Cooper very angry.

He was most annoyed that he had not been 'recalled'.

If he can return to the Groom Lake project team normally, he will definitely be appointed to a very high position, not much worse than Ronald Nolan, because he is the first person in charge of the Annihilation organization and participated in the All the work of a generation' equipment manufacturing is also very prestigious in the scientific community.

Because of this, it is impossible for Ronald Nolan to let him return to the Groom Lake project team.

The reason given by Ronald Nolan is also very straightforward, "The Annihilation organization still needs to be in charge of Kubo, Kubo's work is very important!"

There's nothing Cooper can do about it.

He sent off one colleague after another, and the last one to leave was Corott James, who sent James to the gate.

Corot James walked with Cooper and complained, "Empoli, I really don't want to go back, it's so easy to work here, I can even sleep until 12 o'clock, and I can play games and watch movies at other times. "

"It's also very close to Amsterdam, which is really a man's paradise. There is no more comfortable job than this."

"Did you know? Last week, there was a blond beauty from Uzbekistan. She knew that I was from American and was a physicist. She kindly gave me a discount..."

"50 euros."

James pursed his lips hard and pondered, "I also promised that I would take care of her business again this month. It's a pity that I have to renege on my promise."

He said a little depressed.

Kubo was even more depressed when he heard it, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The two walked to the gate together.

James stopped and patted Kubo on the shoulder with a smile on his face, "Empoli, don't be downcast, I think we can work together in the future."

"Yeah……"

Cooper was a little unsure of what he heard.

"Of course." James put away his smile and became a lot more serious. "Actually, we discussed it in private, and we all felt that Nolan would not be able to work for a long time. You will still be in charge of the plan in the future."

"Why?" Kubo raised his head in doubt.

James said, "You know the technology well. The strong annihilation force field we created is only a thin layer, and even without the outer magnetization equipment, it cannot be used for large-scale magnetization of materials."

"The equipment we manufacture, whether it is the annihilation organization or Nolan's side, is the same. The equipment manufactured can only be used for experiments."

"There is an insurmountable technological gap between us and florists."

"We don't even know what this gap is. I think it's not just the strength of the annihilation force field, there are other things..."

"So Nolan can't do it for long!"

"You're lucky."

James looked at Kubo and said very seriously, "You are really lucky. Even if you go to host the plan now, it is the same as Nolan."

"Now you can find that those who support research are impatient. They always think about how long Wang Hao's team spent on research and how long we spent on research. It is best to catch up in a short time. opponent's technology."

"That is impossible."

"The opponent is Wang Hao, and we want to compete with Wang Hao's team."

"In the history of the development of physics, there will always be some geniuses beyond ordinary people's imagination, including Newton, including Einstein, and so on."

"You see what I mean?"

"Wang Hao was able to complete so many top-notch achievements. He also discovered and perfected annihilation physics. Most of the contributions are due to him. We don't have such geniuses. Why can we catch up if we do research for the same time?"

"If there is no result in a short time, or if there are some problems that cannot be solved, Nolan can only leave, and then is your chance!"

James nodded vigorously.

He glanced at Cooper again, then got into the car with his luggage.

...

Kubo thought carefully about James' words, his eyes lit up involuntarily.

The initial person in charge of the Groom Lake project was Gamow-Shapley. Shapley set the direction of research and development and led the team to research many kinds of superconducting materials.

Those superconducting materials are still very valuable.

If you continue to study for a few years, you may be able to lead the team to create a strong annihilation force field, or develop some new technology.

It is possible.

But obviously, those who supported the plan were impatient, and Shapley could only pack his bags and leave in despair.

How could Ronald Nolan make any difference?

Even if the leading project produces a strong annihilation force field of 7 times, it is impossible to achieve the desired goal - to master the technology of large-scale manufacturing of magnetized materials.

The vast majority of people care about upgraded materials, because upgraded materials represent the foundation of material development, super high profits, breaking the monopoly of flower growers, and so on.

As for the multiplier of the strong annihilation force field...

Who cares?

Even if it is to create a hundred times stronger annihilation force field, it is impossible to manufacture magnetized materials on a large scale, and it can only stay in the laboratory.

So Ronald Nolan is destined to not work for a long time.

Kubo's mood has improved a lot, and he also has good news. Since Nolan decided to recall the scientists, the scholars in the base no longer hate him.

Because they know that Cooper is 'the poor man who was abandoned'.

Same goes for Brian.

Brian not only gave Kubo a good face, but also took the initiative to find him and complained about American, "Empoli, of course I know you have no right to decide, but you are too much."

"Until now there is no funds, and so many people have been transferred."

"That plan to make new equipment, not just with our technology, but with our people..."

Kubo can only spread his hands, "I have no choice. I hope to have more financial support, but you know very well that I have no rights."

Brian shook his head sadly.

The current situation of the Annihilation Organization is very embarrassing. They cannot get funds to manufacture the third-generation equipment, and the second-generation equipment also has a built-in nuclear reactor, which makes it impossible to carry out some ordinary experiments.

Therefore, the personnel in the experimental base are very idle, and some even have nothing to do at all.

Corot-James enjoyed the work environment, but Bryan hoped to build new equipment to continue research.

Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible to find funds.

Some of the countries and institutions that support organizations have even proposed a moratorium on support for organizations, arguing that it does not make sense to spend a lot of money on research.

This is mainly because of the Groom Lake plan.

Some countries and institutions believe that if they cannot master high-end strong annihilation force field technology, as long as they have manufacturing technology and experimental equipment can be used.

In many fields, they do not have the most advanced technology.

That's no big deal.

Now Groom Lake plans to manufacture higher-end equipment, and they continue to support the manufacture of third-generation equipment, and they may not be able to catch up with the new equipment that Groom Lake plans to manufacture.

So what's the point of continuing to support it?

Regardless of whether it is to produce five times the field force or six times the field force, it is still not as good as the equipment of the Groom Lake Project, and of course it cannot catch up with the technology of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.

Since it must be 'the third in the world', it doesn't matter if the technology is worse.

After hitting a wall in succession, Brian had the idea of ​​giving up.

Hearing Brian's complaints, Cooper asked, "In other words, if there is a higher-end technology than Nolan's, can we get financial support?"

"High-end technology is naturally convincing."

"Maybe we could work with a florist?" Cooper suggested.

Bryan shook his head crying and laughing, "We have tried it a long time ago, and it is simply impossible. The basis of cooperation is two-way gain, and we are too far behind."

"Yurai went to a flower grower and met Wang Hao. They have more high-end technology than ours, and they are even just an obsolete equipment..."

Brian shook his head as he spoke, "The obsolete equipment is amazing."

"They won't do any good by cooperating with us."

Cooper pursed his lips vigorously, "Try it, there is no other way anyway, we have to do something."

Brian nodded, looked at Kubo full of doubts, and said, "I thought you would be very disappointed, after all... I didn't expect..."

Cooper shrugged. "People, there are always setbacks. Even in the low period, it is important to maintain a good attitude."

"Yeah?"

"certainly."

...

Florist, the capital.

Recently, decision-makers and academic circles have been discussing nuclear fusion projects, and related meetings have been held one after another.

Decision-making meetings have been held several times.

Various fields also organize high-end academic conferences, technical conferences, and a series of business and application seminars.

Many top scholars in the fields of electromagnetic physics, nuclear energy physics, superconductivity, and materials simply stayed in the capital and attended various conferences every day.

The fusion project is very large.

Naturally, decision-makers are responsible for the construction, application, and personnel of the project, but technical problems must be resolved by the project team.

Although the nuclear fusion project has not officially entered the manufacturing stage, a temporary project team has been formed. Wang Hao is the main person in charge of the project team, and there are Tang Jianjun, Wang Ye, and Wang Baichuan.

Now the design has passed.

A series of technical problems focus on materials and manufacturing. The major material difficulties have been overcome, but there are still many material and manufacturing problems that need to be solved.

Some parts of the high-end materials need to be imported.

Some materials have poorer performance, and it is better to develop new materials.

In addition, there are also problems in manufacturing.

This mainly involves precision manufacturing technology. The manufacturing industry is too huge. In recent years, related domestic technical fields have developed rapidly, but there are still many directions that cannot catch up with the international level.

The biggest problem is still accuracy.

For example, there are several first-order iron dense steel materials used to manufacture the internal devices of the equipment, which involves a problem of precision.

The toughness of this dense steel is so high that it has completely surpassed the previous level, and even cutting it is a problem, let alone manufacturing precision parts.

Wang Hao spent a lot of time checking the reports submitted by various groups.

He does have very strong research and development capabilities, but it is impossible to participate in all aspects of research, and he can only submit the problem to the project team so that everyone can work together to study the solution.

Ultimately, it is up to individual research teams to solve the problem.

Teacher Xu is also very concerned about the technical issues of nuclear fusion. He checked a report, and his scalp tingled with a series of figures.

For example, there are 37 materials that need to be imported.

There are 29 materials with insufficient performance, and it is best to develop better alternatives.

There are 17 kinds of imported equipment needs.

have……

Looking at the data in the report, one can see how huge the nuclear fusion project is. They have been researching for a long time and found that the minimum investment amount exceeds 200 billion.

This number is very large.

The final application of nuclear fusion technology is to create a large power plant, and the data obtained from the demonstration is that the annual power generation can reach 40 billion to 70 billion degrees.

If you compare it with Sanxia Power Station, you will know the data situation.

Sanxia Power Station has an investment of about 95 billion yuan and an annual power generation of about 100 billion kWh.

Judging from the amount of investment and power generation, the benefit of Sanxia Power Station is much higher, but nuclear fusion is a large-scale research project. Manufacturing the first nuclear fusion power station is at a strategic level, and the cost of subsequent remanufacturing will be lower. a lot of.

In addition, Sanxia Power Station cannot be copied.

Nuclear fusion power plants can be manufactured anywhere, and will not be restricted by the environment at all.

The two are not comparable.

While Teacher Xu was still thinking, the secretary Xiao Zhang knocked on the door and walked in, holding a document and said, "It was sent by the International Annihilation Theory Organization, they asked about the cooperation intention of the annihilation force field research."

"Research on the annihilation force field?"

Teacher Xu subconsciously refused, "How is that possible? What's the benefit of cooperating with them! Just refuse...wait."

He paused while speaking, "Don't reply yet, I'll ask Academician Wang."
