From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The Groom Lake project raised $55 billion and is one of the largest scientific research projects in the world, comparable to the Apollo moon landing project.

In terms of the speed of spending money, the plan has far exceeded other scientific research projects in history.

Up to now, the Groom Lake project has failed very badly. They have spent more than half of the funds, and as a result, they couldn't even create a strong annihilation force field.

The reason is that there was a direction adjustment midway.

The original plan was to study upgraded superconducting materials to support the manufacture of high-end strong annihilation force fields. Later, the plan was changed after a long period of no results, but the original direction has already spent a lot of money.

After Ronald Nolan became the project leader, he decided to use the technology of the International Annihilation Theory Organization to create a strong annihilation force field before conducting follow-up research.

Although they only copied the technology of the Annihilation Organization, they still have certain improvements in the design. Coupled with the most advanced nuclear reactor control technology, they are confident that they can manufacture better equipment than the "Second Generation" of the Annihilation Organization.

That should be called a 'Gen 2.5' device.

As long as the performance of the equipment catches up with the International Annihilation Theory Organization, and they can see the hope of 'catching up' with the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, they can get more support.

At that time, the plan can be regarded as 'half successful'.

This is not just a scientific goal, but has become a political goal.

The annihilation force field technology has too much influence, and has covered many large fields such as aviation, materials, and high-end equipment, directly affecting the future economy.

Many people know the importance of annihilation force field technology.

If they can master the highest-end technology in the direction of the annihilation force field, American can continue to maintain their technological advantages. At this stage, they are at an absolute disadvantage in the field of annihilation technology. The direct impact is that a lot of money has flowed into the flower growers. Even they have to spend a lot of money to buy new materials made by florists.

When technological research and development affects interests, it is no longer just a technological issue.

So the Groom Lake plan is getting a lot of attention.

If the equipment that spends a lot of money to manufacture can't catch up with the International Annihilation Theory Organization, the Groom Lake project can be said to have failed.

At that time, someone will be responsible for it.

Ronald Nolan believed he would be one of the 'responsible ones,' but it was impossible for others to remain unaffected.

For example, some decision-making figures.

They strongly support the Groom Lake plan, and the failure of the final plan will definitely affect their individual and group support.

in the office

Ronald Nolan thought seriously.

He analyzed the current situation and found that he had entered a dead end, and there was no way to go in front and on both sides.

Now new equipment manufacturing has been unable to stop.

Even if you continue to support the Annihilation Organization, pay another 4 billion dollars and join in the research, research the technology in it, and then research and manufacture new equipment, it will take another year.

One year, definitely can't wait.

"If you rely on the research of the equipment purchased by the Annihilation Organization from flower growers, and then manufacture new equipment, there is a high probability that Kubo will be responsible for this project."

"Cooper, who has been annihilating the organization, has enough prestige."

"The equipment manufactured now can only be regarded as a low-end experimental machine, and the field strength produced can only reach a maximum of 6.5 times..."

"6.5 magnification, 7 magnification."

"The difference is only 0.5 times..."

Ronald Nolan heaved a long sigh.

The outside world believed that the new equipment might create a strong annihilation force field with a seven-fold rate, but in reality, that was just an exaggerated figure.

Even if everything goes well, they can only create a force field with a maximum power of 6.5.

There is not much difference between 6.5 magnification and 7 magnification, but the difference lies in the magnetized material. To put it bluntly, it is the magnetized iron material containing first-order iron.

If it is a strong annihilation force field with a magnification of 6.5, it cannot produce first-order iron, but it can be produced with a magnification of 7.

The difference is here.

So even if they suppress the news and cannot make first-order iron, the technical level will eventually be exposed.

How to do it?

Ronald Nolan thought hard, and really thought of a way, "If you can buy high-pressure mixed materials and related material layout technology from a florist..."

"From there, modify the design of the new equipment, including the replacement of materials and the layout of the bottom layer, so that..."

"The strong annihilation force field created can reach a 7 times rate!"

Ronald Nolan's eyes lit up thinking about it.

He felt he could convince decision maker #1 to make a decision, and thought that if he showed sincerity, florists would probably sell the technology.

This is a political consideration.

The success or failure of the Groom Lake plan has been related to the support of many people at the decision-making level.

Decision Maker No. 1 is no exception, because he led the implementation of the plan single-handedly, and he has been running around for a long time and persuaded the House of Representatives to support it.

So decision maker No. 1 will only be more affected.

After Ronald Nolan made his decision, he immediately applied to meet with the No. 1 decision maker, and his application was quickly approved.

...

White House, Office.

Ronald Nolan said sincerely, "The field strength produced by our new equipment is between 6.5x and 7x."

"Before the equipment is officially put into operation, we cannot determine the exact data."

"The Annihilation organization has purchased high-end equipment from flower growers, and they can routinely create a 5.8x annihilation force field. Technically, they can create a 7x field force."

"In other words, the equipment they bought is likely to perform better than our new equipment..."

Decision maker No. 1 was very depressed.

Some time ago, the plan was progressing very smoothly. Public opinion was paying attention to the new equipment of the Groom Lake Project. The Annihilation Organization couldn't even get funds, and the 'third-generation' equipment could only stay in the demonstration stage.

Now the Annihilation organization cheats directly!

buy equipment?

Don't talk about Wude!

"Ronald, do you mean to let us interfere with the transaction by some means?" Decision-maker No. 1 asked, rubbing his forehead vigorously.

"of course not."

Ronald Noland said, "That won't do us any good, and we are also members of the Oblivion Organization."

"That is……"

"I think we can do the same thing. They exchange equipment, we exchange technology. We are in the final stages of new equipment, but there is still time to make adjustments to the program."

"If we have materials and material layout technology, the new equipment can create a seven-fold annihilation force field."

He finished speaking seriously.

Decision No. 1 opened his mouth wide in surprise, thinking carefully it was indeed a solution.

In this way, the new equipment they manufactured would at worst exceed the equipment purchased by the Annihilation Organization, giving the outside world the feeling that 'the plan is very smooth'.

"Your suggestion..."

Decision maker No. 1 thought carefully for a long time, and finally waved his hand, "Let's discuss it again, you can go back."

...

Florist, the capital.

Wang Hao continues to lead the work related to nuclear fusion projects.

Now the old equipment is being traded, and they have obtained some high-end equipment and materials. Because many aspects of equipment and materials are involved, it will take some time for the transaction to be completed.

Even if the transaction is fully completed, it will not completely solve the material and equipment problems of the nuclear fusion project.

This is mainly because of American.

The negotiation team of Annihilation Organization cannot represent American, or American is not involved, but it is undeniable that American has high-end technologies in many fields, and it is because of this that they can become the most influential in the world. s country.

There are many materials and equipment in the hands of institutions and enterprises in American.

"These materials and equipment can only be developed by ourselves or find alternatives with lower performance." Wang Hao said helplessly to Tang Jianjun.

Tang Jianjun said indifferently, "Academician Wang, you are pursuing perfection too much. In fact, most scientific research projects are like this, and it is impossible to achieve perfection in all aspects."

“To be able to do this now is already amazing.”

"Some of the equipment and materials on the list are beyond my imagination. When I first discussed with Wang Ye, I felt that I had to develop them slowly by myself, or find other solutions, such as using several equipment to Replace a device..."

Tang Jianjun mentioned some 'conventional' methods.

Wang Hao felt that what Tang Jianjun said was indeed reasonable, but the nuclear fusion project involved too many problems, and the main equipment was not allowed to make any mistakes.

He wants it to be perfect.

But also because there are too many problems involved, we can only choose inferior equipment materials, or find alternatives.

"A person's energy is limited!"

Wang Hao said with emotion.

If there is only one problem, he will definitely lead the team to do research and development to solve it. It is impossible to involve dozens or hundreds of problems.

While they were talking, Wang Hao received a message from Teacher Xu.

"What?"

"Or is it an old device problem?"

He simply went to the technology department.

After meeting Mr. Xu, I realized that it was American who asked if we could "secretly purchase" the materials and layout technology of the old equipment.

Wang Hao couldn't understand.

They have already exchanged the old equipment to the Annihilation Organization, and American is also one of the members of the organization, so there must be a way to participate in the research of the old equipment.

As long as you do serious research, you will definitely master high-pressure hybrid materials and related layout technologies.

Still want to buy now...why?

Teacher Xu said with a smile, "That's the political factor. They hope that the Groom Lake project will be successful, but the performance of the new equipment manufactured now is not up to standard."

Teacher Xu explained briefly.

Although what he said is also speculation, the possibility is very high, otherwise American would not be able to do this.

"sold!"

Wang Hao made a decision immediately.

Now they need equipment and materials from American to support the manufacture of controllable nuclear fusion equipment.

The opponent is a strong annihilation force field technology that needs to be 'eliminated'.

They have even sold the equipment to the Annihilation Organization, and the other party will definitely be able to master the technology as long as they spend time doing research.

So the other party is just buying 'time'.

This is only good for them, not bad. As for the competition between the Groom Lake project team and the International Annihilation Theory Organization...

Nothing to do with them.

Naturally, the more intense the competition between competitors, the better.

...

American sent a negotiating team.

This negotiating team is of a visiting nature. In name, it is discussing the transaction of upgrading elements with the science and technology department. The gossip claims that "first-order carbon elements" are involved.

Further gossip, it is believed that the negotiating team hopes to learn about other promotional elements.

Although the Antigravity Behavior Research Center has not published relevant results, it is no secret that Wang Hao's team has discovered more advanced elements.

This is mainly because the research institutions of nuclear fusion-related materials have obtained many brand-new upgraded element materials.

It is simply not possible to have complete confidentiality when many people are involved in the research.

But in fact, the direct purpose of the negotiating team is to buy or exchange high-pressure hybrid materials and related layout technologies.

The latter is sure to be negotiated.

Now that the negotiation has been agreed, there must be an intention to sell related technologies, the only issue is the price tag.

The negotiation team of the science and technology department issued a demand list.

These include high-end alloys, composite materials, and even biological materials, as well as several high-end technologies, precision equipment, and high-end equipment in other fields.

For example, buying a license for a high-end lithography machine.

The lithography machine involves chip technology.

The field of chips in China has always been restricted. In the past ten years, chip manufacturing technology has also developed rapidly, but high-end technology still cannot catch up with the highest international level.

The negotiating team in the science and technology department can be said to sit on the ground and raise the price, because they know very well that what American wants to exchange is 'time' and 'politics'.

Of course, it is impossible to agree to all requests.

They still need to be measured.

In the negotiating team of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the technology involved in the old equipment is very high-end. They often say, "That is only one generation lower than the technology we have mastered!"

Also, "We are exchanging equipment with the Annihilation organization, but we haven't sold the related technology. It will take a long time to research the technology..."

American agrees with this.

They have invested tens of billions of dollars, but they still haven't been able to create a strong annihilation force field. The technology is really far behind.

The two sides talked for a week.

Afterwards, the negotiation entered a suspension stage, and American’s negotiating team did not leave, but reported the news and waited for the decision-making level to make a decision.

...

SUNY.

Decision maker No. 1 came to visit the university and went to a large conference room where many scholars were already waiting.

This time it was a secret meeting.

Participating in the meeting included many top scholars in the fields of nuclear engineering, annihilation force field and theoretical physics, and Ronald Nolan was one of them.

There was only one topic discussed at the meeting - "the possibility of success of the florist's controllable nuclear fusion project".

Scholars have expressed their opinions.

Almost all of them gave a negative answer.

First, there is the ignition problem.

"Just an ignition problem won't solve it."

"I have paid attention to the nuclear fusion project. They have adopted the annihilation force field technology, but the problem is that the outer layer is enhanced with a strong annihilation force field, and the inside is an anti-gravity field..."

"Ignition will be more difficult in this environment!"

"Even if they successfully manufacture the equipment, the equipment can still operate normally, but every time the raw materials are filled and re-ignited, it will be a huge project."

"This is even more complicated than our aircraft carrier maintenance..."

Second is security.

"High pressure mixing materials is very unsafe."

"You know the equipment of the Annihilation Organization. After the nuclear reactor is built in, the equipment cannot be adjusted at all, and it is very difficult to stop it."

"The equipment is unstable and prone to accidents."

"Nuclear fusion... if there is an accident, it will be very scary!"

Third, technical issues.

"The strength of the force field is not enough, and the material is also a big problem."

"In many fields, our existing material technology is simply not up to standard, and the demand for controlling nuclear fusion is too high. Even with an annihilation force field, it is impossible..."

"In addition, alpha particle accumulation, tritium materials, etc. are all problems."

etc.

Throughout the meeting, the academics kept saying 'impossible'.

The decision-maker was also relieved. He had been worried that trading a large amount of equipment and materials to the other party would make their nuclear fusion project research a success.

Now, don't worry.

"There are a lot of nuclear fusion-related research in the world, and flower growers only have larger projects, and they can only stay in the laboratory stage in the end."

"It can only be regarded as a technical accumulation for the future realization of nuclear fusion energy technology..."

"In the future, don't think about it."

"In at least ten or twenty years, they will not be able to use nuclear fusion to generate electricity. That's enough!"
