Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Although Mo Dao did not study step by step during his four years of undergraduate studies, he still spent all four years.

When it came to graduate school, Mo Dao had no choice but to study for a few more years.

September 18.

The research at EAST has completely entered a stalemate.

Mo Dao took the time to graduate.

Strictly speaking, EAST's improvement plan and approximate model can be written into two papers.

And it is an article that can be published in the top issue, or even on the cover of the top issue.

If used as a graduation thesis, it can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack.

However, due to confidentiality requirements, it is impossible to publish these two results as papers.

Even though the research on controllable nuclear fusion is not so secret,

There is nothing particularly secretive about the principles or progress.

But it is impossible to say that the leading technology will be released to the public in such a generous manner.

at last,

Mo Daoxi wrote another paper on theoretical physics and submitted it to a core journal as his graduation thesis.

In view of Mo Dao’s previous achievements in theoretical physics and controllable nuclear fusion research,

Mo Dao's graduation defense was quite grand.

At Capital University, the dean of the Institute of Physics and an academician were present, and even a first-level professor from the Institute of Mathematics also came to join in the fun.

Outside the school, Academician Zhang, the head of EAST, took the initiative to apply and took the time to come and participate in Mo Dao’s graduation defense.

However, compared with the luxurious defense committee,

The entire defense process seemed very peaceful, and there were no scenes where the defense judges asked sharp questions.

after all,

The graduation defense itself is set up to assess the professional abilities of graduating students.

Obviously, the professors who came to serve as defense judges and participated in Modao's graduation defense had no doubts about Modao's professional ability.

Several professors asked one or two questions in turn and announced the results directly.

"Hello, Dr. Mo Dao. After the review and decision of the defense committee, it is believed that your professional level has met the level of doctoral graduation... and it is recommended to be awarded a doctorate in theoretical physics."

"Thanks."

Mo Dao smiled and thanked the professors.

Mo Dao was a direct doctor, and when his graduation thesis and professional abilities met the standards, he naturally obtained a doctorate.

…

Qin Huaishi took a graduation photo for Mo Dao.

He left behind the last photo of him as a student in this life.

This familiar scene also appeared in the previous life.

However, in his previous life he graduated with a major in philosophy, while in this life he majored in theoretical physics.

After taking pictures,

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi walked along the paths on campus.

The shadows imprinted by the treetops kept sliding down from their shoulders and backs.

Qin Huaishi also mentioned her life and study during this period.

Qin Huaishi's life trajectory is not much different from his previous life.

When Mo Dao wanted to solve the problems in controllable nuclear fusion research,

Qin Huaishi is also working hard, studying and researching towards her life goals.

After the two of them finished talking,

The two of them were not in a hurry to say anything, they just enjoyed the tranquility of the moment and walked forward.

"No way..."

This time, just before separation.

Miss Qin Huaishi regained the courage she had always had.

"Can I hug you again?"

For Mo Dao, this similar scene seemed to have been experienced many times in his lifetime.

The shy girl Qin Huaishi never lacks courage.

Mo Dao, it seems that he never feels bored.

Mo Dao smiled, opened his arms and hugged Qin Huaishi.

After holding Qin Huaishi in his arms, Mo Dao thought for a while,

Before Qin Huaishi took the initiative to say the following words, Mo Dao said what should be said first,

"Miss Qin Huaishi, will you marry me?"

It seems that in many lives, the courageous girl Qin Huaishi took the initiative to say to Mo Dao,

There's no way I should take the initiative once.

"Um……"

Miss Qin Huaishi paused and responded.

It seemed that she was afraid that the answer was not certain enough, and she did not let shyness affect her decision.

Qin Huaishi hugged Mo Dao and added,

"certainly."

Mo Dao smiled and held Miss Qin Huaishi in his arms for a long time.

…

After graduating with a doctorate,

Mo Dao did not leave Capital University.

It’s almost the same situation as in the previous life,

In other words, because of the few core journal papers that Dr. Mo Dao wrote before graduation, as well as the important contributions and achievements he made in the most important field of controlled nuclear fusion research.

Even better treatment was given.

The School of Physics at Capital University sent an invitation to Modao, inviting him to stay at the school and teach.

And directly skipped the two steps of lecturer and associate professor, and was directly given the teaching position of professor at Mo Dao Wuyuan.

There are also some corresponding benefits, including settlement allowance.

Although it had no impact on Mo Dao, it still had everything it needed.

Of course, Mo Dao did not refuse to stay in school. He was engaged in research work in this life, and having a teaching position was not bad.

After accepting the teaching position, Mo Dao successfully joined the School of Physics at Capital University.

also,

Many researchers in the EAST project, including Professor Hong, and many researchers from the Capital Institute of Physics recommended Modao to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Finally, the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences extended an invitation to Mo Dao.

Mo Dao was given the position of associate researcher, and after one year of this position, he will be automatically promoted to researcher unconditionally.

Obviously, although Mo Dao’s previous achievements in EAST were not able to publish a paper,

But Mo Dao still gets the treatment he deserves.

After obtaining the position of associate researcher at the Institute of Physics,

Mo Dao also officially joined the EAST project as a formal member of the EAST project.

…

After these two events,

Professor Hong took the time to call Mo Dao to the office again.

After Mo Dao arrived, he first asked Mo Dao to sit down, then stood up and poured Mo Dao a glass of water.

After the tea was handed to Mo Dao, Professor Hong looked at Mo Dao again and paused for a while.

"Mo Dao, I will reach retirement age this year."

Professor Hong mentioned something about himself,

"I will accept re-employment from the school, but I will re-employ for another ten years at most. Moreover, in recent years, I have obviously felt that my thinking and memory are getting worse. It may take less than ten years for me to retire from the EAST research project. ”

"In other words, I can probably spend the last few years on the EAST project."

Professor Hong looked at Mo Dao, sat upright, looked at Mo Dao, and asked seriously,

"In the past, I definitely felt that Academician Zhang was the person most familiar with the entire EAST project. Now, I feel that you may be the most knowledgeable about the overall situation of EAST."

"Can I ask you a question? How long do you think it will take before we can achieve controllable nuclear fusion power generation, or at least the Q value is greater than one?"

Professor Hong wants an answer.

But Mo Dao has not seen this answer so far.

Looking at Professor Hong, Mo Dao shook his head.

"Professor Hong, I don't know."

After listening to Mo Dao's answer, Professor Hong lowered his head and paused for a while.

He may know that the question he asked is not so consistent with objective laws.

After all, until a technology is actually realized, no one can be sure whether it can really be realized.

Let alone give an exact time.

It seems that I thought about it for a while,

Professor Hong said again,

"Although the EAST project was built not long ago, it has been a long time since the idea was born and its feasibility was demonstrated."

"Your master, my graduate supervisor was once a researcher at the Southwest Institute of Physics, and he participated in the initial demonstration of controllable nuclear fusion as a method of energy production. I studied with him, and naturally entered the research in this field. ”

"Maybe I'm a little greedy. I know that controllable nuclear fusion will be realized one day, but sometimes I still hope that it can come earlier. It can come before I die."

Professor Hong feels that he may not be an excellent teacher.

But now that he has reached retirement age, he has indeed placed great hopes and expectations on Mo Dao.

He stopped talking and looked at Mo Dao. Professor Hong didn't speak for a long time.

His eyes were very complicated.
