"Academician Katomtsev, if you can agree to bring the research team of the T-7 to China, then we can build a completely new R&D center here in cooperation with the Chinese Plasma Research Institute. ”

Hu Wenhai stepped on the ground under his feet hard, and said quite emotionally: "The mountain we are on is called Qixianling, and to the north is Dagang University of Technology, Maritime University, Dongbei Finance and Economics and other well-known universities. Just a 20-minute drive away, Dagang is building the world's largest city square in the form of land reclamation, and it won't be long before it becomes a thriving research base and academic center. ”

"The R&D center is located in Qixian Ridge, which can be said to be a good place to take a quiet place. As long as Academician Katomtsev, you can invest 1 billion yuan and 100 million US dollars in the first phase of the whole project, including the equipment and operating expenses of the laboratory, and at least 300 million yuan per year in the future, what do you think?"

Hu Wenhai stood on the top of the "small hill" of Qixian Ridge and looked into the distance, with a majestic and heroic momentum, swaying and pointing out the country.

At this time, Qixian Ridge and the land around it were still quite desolate, but Hu Wenhai knew that in less than ten years, earth-shaking changes would take place here. The University Town, Software Park, Black Rock Reef and Xinghai Square will rise from the ground, and the land of Qixian Ridge will naturally rise.

With huge investment and economic foundation, it can be said that it is very easy to build a new R&D center in Qixianling.

Qixian Ridge is no more than two kilometers from the coast of Dagang, and you can see a blue Bohai Sea from the top of the mountain. This is too attractive for the Soviets, who went on a holiday to the Black Sea as if they were celebrating the New Year.

If you want money, resources, equipment, and the human environment is so comfortable, to be honest, Katomtsev really has no reason to refuse.

Katomtsev looked enviously at the surrounding scenery and looked into the distance. This beautiful ice-free sea exudes a fatal attraction for Russians at the genetic level.

"What a beautiful land!" he sighed, "in Moscow, the weather in October can already freeze people's noses, but the weather here is just right, so comfortable that people want to take a good nap in such weather." ”

Hu Wenhai waved his hand and said boldly: "No problem, if Academician Katomtsev agrees, I can build a villa for you by the sea, and ensure that the conditions enjoyed by the rich in Western countries are no worse." ”

"Okay, please don't say any more, Comrade Hu Wenhai. ”

Katomtsev shook his head lightly and showed a happy smile: "I really envy China, and I can feel your desire for science and technology and respect for scientific research workers from you." With such a spirit and comrades like you, I believe that one day China will become such a great country as the Soviet Union. ”

Hu Wenhai was about to speak, but Katomtsev waved his hand to stop his persuasion, and continued: "Although I proposed to send the T-7 device to China, it was because the Soviet Union could no longer afford to continue research. Science can have no borders, but scientists have a homeland. Without the T-7 device, it does not mean that the Soviet Union does not need scientists for nuclear fusion research, at least we can still conduct theoretical research in the Soviet Union and keep track of the international level of technology. ”

"Rest assured, if all the people in atomic energy research are willing to come to China, I will not stop it. But I'm very old, so please let me stand this last shift for the Soviet Union......"

Katomtsev's sincere words made Hu Wenhai open his mouth, but he couldn't say anything if he wanted to.

It would be a pity not to convince Katomtsev.

China's research on nuclear fusion was first promoted by Academician Li Zhengwu. Since the 70s, Academician Li Zhengwu has been mainly engaged in the theoretical research of nuclear fusion, including the concept of the overall properties and quality parameter space of plasma from a philosophical perspective.

It was not until 1986 that Academician Li Zhengwu proposed the design idea of such an experimental device as China Circulation-1. Before the completion of the HT-7 device, China's main research directions in the field of nuclear fusion were focused on the exploration of theories.

And the Soviet Union, as the proposer of the tokamak model, has been engaged in engineering research in this area since the fifties. The Kurchatov Institute is arguably at the forefront of the world in nuclear fusion research and development.

The research we were engaged in in the 80s was, so to speak, nothing more than a repetition of the old path of the Soviets in the 50s and 60s. It is not until the nineties that enough experience has been accumulated on the HT-7 device that it can be said that China's nuclear fusion has caught up with the first echelon of nuclear fusion in the world.

If Katomtsev's full support can be obtained, then the improvement of China's nuclear fusion research level can be said to be like Xuzhu getting the transmission of Wuyazi, a top master of martial arts in "seconds".

Even if Katomtsev claims that he will not prevent the scientists of the Kurchatov Institute from coming to China, the sporadic change of scientists will definitely not bring about the legacy of Soviet nuclear fusion research and development. Only a project leader like Katomtsev can bring this kind of inheritance and R&D ideas to China intact.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Hu Wenhai can only accept such a result bitterly.

He pulled himself together and barely smiled. In any case, Katomtsev was a great scientist worthy of respect, and he deserved a grand reception and a perfect vacation.

"Well, then we won't talk about that. ”

Hu Wenhai waved heartily and asked the driver to drive the car over: "It's not early, at noon, I will invite Academician Katomtsev to our famous Maritime University in Dagang for dinner to see what our college students can eat on the National Day." ”

"Very nice, very good, I really like the university environment. I feel like home at universities all over the world!"

……

"The canteen of Dagang Maritime University is famous, especially the three canteens, which can be said to be of good quality and low price. Because Dagang University is relatively close, even students from other schools will come to taste it. ”

"This year is the 42nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is not a whole number without Daqing. However, this year, the economic growth rate of our Dagang is expected to reach 18 percent, and life is getting better, so I just want to have a good time!

Pinksy himself led the way, he was a native of Bohai, and his ancestors were poor peasants for three generations. It was only later that he was admitted to university and completely changed his fate, so he has a special affection for the school. Some people rumor that he is from Jin Province and that his family is the son of a high-ranking cadre or something like that is pure nonsense!

Pinksey resolutely resists such gossip and rumor-mongering. He is the son of a peasant, can't the son of a peasant be the deputy mayor? Dagang is Dagang, not any other place, don't always want to make some big news.

Pinksey led him, Hu Wenhai and Katomtsev and his party into the third canteen of the Maritime University. A group of young college students in Sea Soul shirts were lining up to walk inside, and they were all very familiar with saying hello when they saw Pinksy.

"Mayor Ping is here, are you eating bread or noodles today?" the chef in the window waved a rice spoon and greeted him warmly.

The fried cakes and fried noodles at the Third Canteen are Pinkxi's reserved recipes, and he once visited the Maritime University and liked them after eating them. I have to come every three or five times, and I even have a stack of meal tickets in hand.

"Academician Katomtsev, you see what you like to eat, I'm in for lunch today!" Pinksey said proudly, waving the meal ticket in his hand.

"Your university cafeteria is very rich!"

Katomtsev walked past the canteen stall and was surprised by the variety of dishes.

Compared with the eternal sausages, beetroot soup and big leba in Soviet universities, the tricks of the three canteens are indeed dizzying.

Beef stew with potatoes, shredded pork with fish flavor, shredded chicken and pork ears are all meat dishes, but there is nothing new about them. However, some of the fresh dishes in the green vegetables are a little unbelievable.

"It's scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato!"

Katomtsev looked out the window at the yellowing leaves, pointed to the red and yellow dish, and glared: "Is this your out-of-season vegetable?

Tomatoes naturally ripen in June and July, and many of the flavors of Northeast cuisine are similar to those of Russian cuisine, and there is also the habit of making tomato sauce for the winter. In the past, if you wanted to eat tomatoes in the autumn and winter of the Northeast, you had to have stored tomato sauce, and this is no exception in Russia.

In Moscow, there are some tomatoes in October, but they are expensive out-of-season vegetables. Compared with shelf-stable meat, the price can be said to be sky-high.

On the menu of the three canteens of the Maritime University, the Arabic numerals can be said to be common in the world. Meat dishes are all 0.5 yuan, and vegetables are all 0.3 yuan. This price is indeed a bit too unimaginable for Katomtsev.

In addition to tomatoes, the ingredients of the three canteens also include cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini, and cowpeas, which are not shelf-stable summer vegetables. Out-of-season vegetables are nothing new, but in October they are cheaper than meat dishes, which is incredible.

"Hehe, I know this very well!" Pinksy was a little proud, and stood up to explain to Katomtsev: "Since 1988, we have been promoting the vegetable basket project in Dagang. At first, it was the nearby troops who engaged in a side business and built a batch of vegetable greenhouses to supply winter vegetables. However, at that time, the price of out-of-season vegetables was still relatively high, and it could generally only be regarded as corporate welfare. ”

"Since last year, the central government has issued an order that the army must not do business and that all tertiary industries should be handed over to the local government. As a result, the greenhouse planting technology mastered by the troops gradually spread to nearby villages. However, the price of out-of-season vegetables has decreased, and the more important reason is that Dagang's large chemical project has been completed and put into operation. ”

Last year, a large number of plastic films were promoted to rural areas, so that the construction cost of greenhouses was directly reduced from thousands of yuan to less than one-tenth of the original. In addition, our Dagang Cooperative has given preferential loans to farmers who build greenhouses for planting, and this year, the output of out-of-season vegetables has increased by more than 10 times! After this battle, we can say that the days when Dagang people could only eat radish and cabbage in winter are gone forever!"

Pinksey has reason to be proud, the vegetable basket project is the most direct project to benefit the people's livelihood, and it solves the matter related to the vital interests of every Dagang person. After the out-of-season vegetables were put on the market this year, the city government did not know how many letters of praise they had received spontaneously from citizens. For the sake of the official and for the benefit of one party, this great sense of accomplishment is stronger and addictive than any physical pleasure.

The construction of the vegetable basket project directly benefited from the Dagang Chemical Project. As the direct person in charge of the city government of this project, Pinksey has indeed put a lot of energy and hard work into it. In these letters of praise, at least three points of credit belong to him.

Of course, the price of the three canteens does not fully reflect the market price of non-staple food in Dagang. After all, the university cafeteria is subsidized, and it is still unimaginable to eat for a dollar in a restaurant outside. In particular, the three maritime canteens, as the so-called learning in Dagong and eating in Maritime, are not in vain, and the maritime university is indeed better than Dagong in the construction of canteens.

"That's a remarkable achievement!" Katomtsev gave Pinksey a thumbs up.

The Chinese were solving the problem of being able to eat vegetables in winter, while the Soviets were hungry. Chinese officials were rejoicing in the success of industrial construction, while Soviet officials were doing everything possible to sell factories cheaply. Chinese university students are lining up to eat and study, while Soviet students are overthrowing their own country......

Comparing the two compartments, Katomtsev's heart is really mixed.

Suppressing the worries in his heart, Katomtsev selected a few dishes that seemed to be full of color and flavor, and filled a plate of rice. The staff had already cleared a dining table, and Hu Wenhai and Lu Xin, as well as Katomtsev and Pinkxi, sat opposite each other.

Although there are no sea cucumbers, abalone and various delicacies, the cafeteria food in the university cafeteria is also unique. After taking a few bites, Katomtsev narrowed his eyes and nodded repeatedly, apparently quite satisfied with the meal.

Students from the Maritime University entered the cafeteria one after another, and as soon as it was time for lunch, someone turned on the TV hanging on the wall of the cafeteria and started broadcasting the TV program.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is CCTV's noon news program. On October 1, 1991, Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed an agreement with the presidents of the former Soviet republics announcing the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States......"
