From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Since the tokamak device was proposed in the last century, it has become the focus of controllable nuclear fusion research. Even in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, there is a device called a stellarator, but the research on the tokamak device There are still the most people.

This is because the design of the stellarator is more difficult, and at the same time, the cost is higher than that of the tokamak device, and the biggest advantage of the tokamak device is that it is a regular ring as a whole, so that in the magnetic field The design is relatively simple, and this has a very important effect on controlling the internal plasma flow up to hundreds of millions of degrees.

Therefore, it is precisely because of these advantages that in the subsequent research process, the scientific community has basically recognized that the tokamak device is the most likely device to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, including the ITER project. The reactor built also uses a tokamak device.

It is equivalent to saying that all those who study controllable nuclear fusion agree with the tokamak device.

But at this time, Lin Xiao stood up and said that the tokamak is not the right way, and they need to change it, especially since Lin Xiao is still their chief engineer now.

This made even Lin Xiao's proposal to spend 50 billion to build a particle accelerator temporarily ignored by them.

Facing their puzzlement and shock, Lin Xiao just smiled and said, "Yes, that's it. I'm not wrong. I just gave up the tokamak device and built this conch-type device instead."

Seeing that everyone still had some incomprehensible expressions, he spread his hands and said, "Everyone, what we are researching is controllable nuclear fusion, and before our research, even if the tokamak device was regarded as the most likely to succeed Controllable nuclear fusion device, but this is only because in our current systematic research, only the tokamak device is the most likely."

"But this does not mean that we only have tokamak, we can develop other devices."

"So, everyone, we can't always maintain inertia in our scientific research thinking. We must learn to forget the inertia and think about other things!"

Lin Xiao's words of vigilance immediately woke up the people present.

Yes!

Scientific research cannot maintain inertial thinking. Although the tokamak device has a high status in the scientific community, it does not mean that it is the only way out.

However, it seems that there has been no controllable nuclear fusion reaction device better than the tokamak device for so long, so they formed this inertial thinking, and felt a little puzzled by Lin Xiao's proposal of this new device.

For a moment, they all seemed to have a feeling of enlightenment.

Li Gang also nodded in agreement, and said with emotion: "Mr. Lin must still be Mr. Lin."

Anyway, he never thought of changing the operation of a device suddenly. Of course, the most important thing is that even if he thought of it, he might not be able to design it. In other words, this is what prevents them from breaking away from their inertial thinking one of the reasons.

After all, no new device can be designed, so they can only choose the tokamak device.

What's more, the nuclear fusion reaction device is generally a big guy. If you want to design it completely by one person's ability, it is impossible to do it without rich scientific engineering design ability and enough investment. .

So it is conceivable that in the past two months, Lin Xiao spent energy beyond their imagination to design this thing.

Thinking of this, Li Gang looked at Lin Xiao, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. This person is not very old, how did he learn it?

When Lin Xiao heard Li Gang's words, he smiled modestly, and then said: "It seems that everyone basically knows what I mean. Of course, I don't mean that we are going to start building now."

"Next, let's build this particle accelerator first. Only after this particle accelerator is built can I verify the next steps."

Hearing Lin Xiao mention the particle accelerator again, everyone who came to their senses finally remembered that there is still this thing that costs 50 billion.

This is 50 billion. Although their initial funds are as high as 500 billion, these funds are all planned, how can they be spent casually?

Li Gang then asked: "Boss Lin, what is the use of this particle accelerator?"

Lin Xiao said: "This particle accelerator is used to manufacture materials with the same properties as those special tungsten blocks back then."

He smiled and said: "The production methods of those special tungsten blocks were too random before. We collected so many tungsten plates before we chiseled out a few points, and this particle accelerator can be used to specialize in the production and those special tungsten blocks. Tungsten block same thing."

Everyone present was stunned, particle accelerator?Specializing in the same thing as those tungsten blocks?

50 million?

Although according to what Lin Xiao said, he has already found a way to produce this special material, but this is a bit too extravagant, right?

Particle accelerators are used to produce materials, so how long does it take to meet the needs of a nuclear fusion reactor?

Li Gang raised a question: "Mr. Lin, isn't this a bit... extravagant?"

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know it well, and you will know when the particle accelerator starts to be built."

"By the time?"

Everyone present couldn't help being curious.

Could it be that the particle accelerator that Lin Xiao wants to build is very special and can be mass-produced?

But Lin Xiao didn't say anything, and they had no choice but to wait until the construction started before seeing it with their own eyes.

Next, the meeting continued. Of course, the main points have been covered before, and the next thing to talk about is some basic matters. Therefore, the high-level meeting of the Golden Crow Project, which was two months after Lin Xiao's retreat and research, came to an end.

Although everyone still has confidence in Lin Xiao, but after all, what they are going to do next belongs to a new field. For most of them, it is no longer a comfort zone, so there is still some fear in their hearts, but Finally, I thought again, anyway, this is all done by Lin Xiao, so just do it as Lin Xiao said.

Even if the sky fell, Lin Xiao would support them, so they felt much better and felt at ease.

And the time passed quickly.

As for the group of people from the South Institute of Physics who were still here, probably because Lin Xiao came back, they became much more honest in the next few days, and then pretended to come to observe and communicate, here After staying for a few days, he left.

Obviously, it was impossible for them to directly fight Lin Xiao.

And Lin Xiao later learned about the purpose of these people from the South Institute of Physics from Song Tao and the others, but at most he just laughed it off.

First of all, he didn't care about the conflicts between them. Secondly, when he applied for the Golden Crow Project with his superiors, he was already prepared to face this situation. This is why he cooperated with the Plasma Institute. After all, the Plasma The body's status in the domestic nuclear fusion industry is the highest, and cooperating with them can also reduce such evil spirits.

As for those like the South Institute of Physics, just ignore them.

Anyway, it is impossible for these people to stop him from continuing his research.

All in all, he is not in the mood to take care of these trivial matters. Even if he affects the funding of these people, the impact will be affected, as long as he can come up with results in the end.

And Song Tao and the others saw that Lin Xiao didn't care about this matter, so they didn't care anymore. Anyway, the gang at the South Institute of Physics can't do anything bad.

So just like that, they put this matter aside and did their own research with peace of mind.

However, this matter seems to be over, and the South Institute of Physics seems to have calmed down, but as time passed, the Jinwu Project began to spend a lot of money to build a new particle accelerator, which also attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

Just like when Li Gang and Song Tao learned that Lin Xiao was going to build a particle accelerator, other people also felt extremely puzzled when they learned about it.

Controlled nuclear fusion?Particle accelerator?

Are the two related?

Although particle accelerators can be regarded as fusion in another sense, this kind of fusion is only the fusion of a few particles, and its purpose is not to generate energy, so basically it has nothing to do with nuclear fusion, and it is impossible to help nuclear fusion. Realized, but what is Lin Xiao going to build this particle accelerator now?

And this is a secret in the Golden Crow's plan, and it is not enough for outsiders to understand. However, in some people's eyes, this is worth doing.

For example, some foreign forces have been staring at the Golden Crow Project, as well as domestic institutions such as the South Institute of Physics.

In the end, after discussing for many days, the South Institute of Physics came to a conclusion that Lin Xiao was wasting money. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure out what is the use of this particle accelerator.

Ever since, when the particle accelerator was officially built, the South Institute of Physics submitted a real-name report to it.

……

"Report us for misuse of funds?"

When Lin Xiao was working on the construction of the particle accelerator, he suddenly received a call from Ma Gaoliang indirectly, and heard such a news that made him laugh, and at the same time, he was speechless about it.

"It's the fearless of the ignorant."

Chapter 432 Particle Accelerator Built

"Then what are you going to do? After receiving their report, the higher-ups had a meeting to discuss it, and finally decided to ask your thoughts first."

Ma Gaoliang said: "Don't be too angry. After all, this is the case for our domestic environment. The research funds are distributed by the state, not like the kind of private companies that distribute money, so...you know."

Lin Xiao sighed, and said, "It's not about being few, but about being uneven. There's no need to be angry, but I just feel speechless."

"Well, it's good for you to think so, just ignore them for the time being."

Ma Gao said: "What's more, the higher-ups still trust you more now, and we don't know much about technical matters. Although they said a lot about the particle accelerator you are building in their report, it seems very It seems reasonable, but it's you after all, you should have your deep meaning in doing this thing, right?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I can't talk about the deep meaning, but from the perspective of science and technology, what I want to say is that this particle collider must be built."

"And I can be sure that the particle accelerator I built will definitely have to build more in our country in the future."

Ma Gaoliang wondered: "Why?"

In that report, the group of people from the South Institute of Physics gave the particle accelerator a bad review. After Ma Gaoliang read it, he also felt that what was written in the report was indeed credible. After all, isn’t the particle accelerator just Is it used to study high energy physics?

So if he hadn't trusted Lin Xiao more, he would probably have been persuaded by the report.

But Lin Xiao just smiled and said: "In the future, we will build many nuclear fusion power stations in China. This particle accelerator is used as supporting equipment. Of course, we will build more."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ma Gaoliang was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Okay, since you've already said that, then I won't ask any more questions, as long as you have confidence."

Although Lin Xiao's answer did not seem to be an explanation, the affirmation in the words made Ma Gaoliang willing to believe that he was indeed serious.

"Well, it's good that you understand."

Ma Gaoling: "Then how do you think I should respond to the higher-ups? The higher-ups are waiting for your statement."

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "I'm sure, just reply like this."

"You are sure...hehe, not bad." Ma Gaoliang thought for a while, then smiled: "For the above, this answer must be the best answer."

"That's fine, I'll report to the higher ups now."

"Row."

Lin Xiao responded, and then hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "South Institute of Physics?"

It seems that the progress needs to be accelerated, lest people always think that he is doing some science fiction.

Hey, he's all about science.

Shaking his head, he continued to lower his head and began to study.

But after a while, Ma Gaoliang called him again.

After he connected in doubt, he heard Ma Gaoliang from the opposite side ask: "I have already reported to the superior, and the superior asked me to ask you, how should I reply to the people at the South Institute of Physics, after all, I have to explain to them , but you know your technique best, so I want to ask you."

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and gave his reply: "..."

……

"'It's a matter of state secrets, and related disputes are temporarily put on hold'? 'We will discuss it later'?"

In the South Institute of Physics, when these people received the reply given above, they immediately froze in Bengbu.

"What is it about state secrets? Don't we also study nuclear fusion? Why is it a state secret?"

Liang Ping said cursingly, very dissatisfied in his tone.

The faces of the others were also a little ugly. This reply neither responded to their doubts about the particle accelerator in the report, nor did it respond to their doubts about the misuse of funds, but it was precisely the reason for this reply that made them feel uncomfortable Know how to refute.

"It's obviously showing favoritism to that Lin Xiao! It's only been a few days since we posted the report? It's only been a week, and finally the top has given a reply. Is this reasonable?"

"It's really unreasonable to say one thing and one thing. There is no response at all, and you just say a state secret. Isn't this blocking our mouths."

Others also rushed to complain, and some even suggested a solution: "I think we might as well just post it on the Internet. They built a particle accelerator for 50 billion. We don't know if we can use this 50 billion." how long."

However, as soon as this person mentioned his method, Zhao Nangao, who had been silent all this time, glared at him and said, "Shut up, what kind of crooked idea? Can this method be proposed? Forget about the deputy director of the High Energy Institute." long thing?"

As he spoke, he glanced around at everyone, and said, "No one should think about using this method, and don't blame me for not remembering the past."

All the people present fell silent immediately, and at the same time, they really recalled the consequences of the deputy director of the high-energy institute who used the same method back then.

This method of stabbing people on the Internet is indeed a death, and it is a big death.

Their kind of thing can't be done by writing a small composition.

Zhao Nangao said in a serious voice: "Okay, the above has replied in this way, this matter is considered a final conclusion, before their particle accelerator is built, it is best for us to give up these ideas, and wait for the final result with peace of mind Bar."

Hearing what Zhao Nangao said, everyone present felt a little unwilling.

Someone asked: "If that particle accelerator works, what do we do?"

"What should we do? Then cold salad." Zhao Nangao said: "Although we don't know what their state secret is now, but if their thing is useful, then we don't have to think about it, and wait for it to change direction in the future with peace of mind." Study it, because at that time, the Golden Crow Project may really succeed."

"This……"

Helplessness appeared on the faces of those present.

Although they also hope that Huaguo can realize controllable nuclear fusion technology, but now, they hope that the particle accelerator of the Jinwu Project is meaningless.

They know it's wrong to think so, but based on human nature, they still think so in their hearts.

Zhao Nangao shook his head. He knew what everyone was thinking, but judging from the replies from the higher-ups this time, the trust in Lin Xiao couldn't be shaken by just writing a few reports.

Otherwise, they wouldn't use this kind of reply to prevaricate them.

After all, it is an X-lithography machine, a foundation of trust laid by a room-temperature superconductor.

And if he knew that this reply was even asked from Lin Xiao, then he probably wouldn't know how to express it.

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it, everyone, go back and study what you should study, and don't worry about other things."
