Chapter 378: 400 Billion, New Super Collider!
The changes that happened at CERN were instantly spread all over the world under the extremely 'exaggerated' reports of the media that were not too big to see the excitement.
For country M and other Western countries, of course, they are all accusing China of accepting CERN's research results and taking advantage of them, but at the same time concealing their own research results, which completely violates the spirit of CERN's agreement, and it is completely deserved to be kicked out by the committee.
The Sun even suggested that the CERN Committee and even the OU League directly impose retaliatory punitive measures against China, such as a complete embargo on China, the severance of certain economic and trade exchanges, and even the dispatch of troops to deter China when necessary.
This kind of 'brain-dead' remarks even aroused the 'resonance' of many people, and they shouted that they couldn't just let go of Huaguo, and it was so lively for a while.
In response to the reports of the West, China and the member states that have reported 'sympathy' to China have naturally refuted the absurd remarks of these media in a-for-tat manner, and both sides have shown their own magic in their respective spheres of influence, but on the whole, the Western media that still grasp the right to speak in 'civilized society' are superior.
For Liu Feng, the changes that happened at CERN were also not pleasant.
Antimatter engineering aside, there were originally many opportunities for cooperation between the Super Collider Laboratory and CERN in his plan, but now it seems that he is wishful thinking, and they are completely regarded as competitors rather than partners.
I have to say that such a result still makes him feel a little complicated.
However, what made him excited was that the foreign affairs department had dug up a lot of walls from CERN, especially Professor Ding Zhaozhong's team, and basically most of them followed and joined the Institute of High Energy Physics.
Professor Ding Zhaozhong, who came to China again, not only brought a series of knowledge and experience in the field of high-energy physics research, but also brought a benchmark of 'buying horse bones'!
With Professor Ding's call, Liu Feng believes that the other half of the high-energy physicists will be more interested in Huaguo's super collider, and more or less able to attract a few golden phoenixes, of course, the Qinhuangdao super collider research laboratory will also become a new world holy place for high-energy physics research!
Although I feel regretful, my withdrawal from CERN did not have much impact on Liu Feng, and the arrival of Professor Ding was completely unexpected.
Soon, the CERN turmoil came to an end.
After eliminating the 'spies' and 'unstable elements' of the Chinese people, country M and the OU alliance naturally stepped up the design work of the super collider;
After repeated consultations between the two sides, it was decided to invest another 10 billion US dollars each, concentrate the talents and scientific and technological advantages of both sides, and determined to build a new super collider within 5 years, vowing to continue to lead the development trend of the world in the field of fundamental physics in the future!
The ambition of Western countries did not make Liu Feng feel any crisis, and even in his heart, he wished that these people would invest more manpower and physics and spend it on the super collider!
Fundamental physics is definitely a high-investment, low-return project, even with the guidance of the Great Unified Theory, it does not have much practical effect on the development of science and technology in the world today!
However, in order to respond to these people's approach, saying that China will never give in and vow to compete with Western countries in the field of high-energy physics, after the approval of the high-level, Huaguo spokesman Zeng Hongzhuang faced the world's media and announced in public that China is about to start the construction plan of the second super collider!
"We have decided to invest 400 billion yuan and are expected to build the second super collider in Bashu within 10 years!"
"This super collider, whether it is energy power or other design indicators, will be 10 times that of the Qinhuangdao super collider!"
"And, more importantly, the new Super Collider, whether designed or built, will be completed by ourselves, and the technology used will also be the latest technology developed by our own Chinese!"
"In the research of basic physics, we have the confidence and responsibility to lead the development of high-energy physics in the world and contribute more strength to the cause of human science and technology!"
For a time, the stone broke the earth.
A second super collider?
And the design index turned out to be 10 times that of the Qinhuangdao Super Collider!
Is this possible?
Moreover, 400 billion yuan, almost 60 billion US dollars!
Although the Chinese people are rich, they are not this way of spending!
Isn't there a need for the development of science and technology in other fields?
Crazy, the Chinese are completely crazy!
"Oh, God, I guess I heard it wrong, 4,000 yuan, what do the Chinese want to do?"
At the press conference, Theodore Algernon, a journalist from country Y, looked at the press spokesperson on the stage in a daze, and his jaw almost dropped to his chest.
"Crazy, the Chinese are completely crazy! Their first Super Collider has just been built, and it has not been officially put into use, so they decided to build a second Super Collider, and the performance is 10 times that of the first one! Except for being crazy, I really can't think of what their motive is for doing this, is it really just to take revenge on CERN and compete with CERN?"
The reporter from country M on the side also opened his mouth wide and stared at the spokesman on the stage with a shocked face.
"The Chinese have always loved face, and in their words, they are so happy that they get carried away under the stimulation of CERN, and I think it is entirely possible. The Gallic reporter next to him said in a sour tone.
Shocked, a group of people talked about it.
Someone reacted quickly and grabbed the first opportunity to interview: "May I ask Mr. Zeng, is the new super collider really investing 400 billion yuan?"
"That's right, 400 billion yuan is just a conservative number, according to the actual construction progress, maybe more will be invested!" Zeng Hongzhuang nodded lightly, as if the figure of 400 billion was only 4,000 yuan.
The reporter's little brother gasped, 400 billion or a conservative number?
Chinese people are too rich!
Before he could continue to ask questions, a second reporter had already stood up.
This time it was a long-haired young lady with wheat-colored skin, and it was obvious that she was not a Chinese reporter.
I saw this young lady with a seemingly friendly smile and asked:
"Mr. Zeng, may I ask, what motivates you to decide to build a second one when the first super collider in China has not yet been officially put into operation? Is it because the first super collider has technical loopholes that are difficult to make up for and is simply useless? Or is it just because you are so happy? Or is it simply another version of the 'Star Wars' program? Is it necessary for China to give an explanation to peace-loving countries around the world?"
The question was very sharp, and it also asked the voices of many reporters present.
And yet, with the condescending arrogance of Westerners!
HEARING THIS REPORTER'S QUESTION, ZENG HONGZHUANG TURNED HIS HEAD SLIGHTLY, REVEALING COMRADE WANG BUZHANG'S SIGNATURE LOOK OF DISDAIN: "HUAGUO IS BUILDING ITS OWN SUPER COLLIDER ON ITS OWN LAND, USING ITS OWN TECHNOLOGY, AND SPENDING ITS OWN MONEY, AND THERE IS NO NEED TO GIVE ANY EXPLANATION TO ANYONE, ORGANIZATION, OR COUNTRY! As for the motive for building the new collider, you don't have to guess, I can tell you very responsibly!"
"Our first Super Collider, so far, the test operation has been very smooth, the plan is very smooth, and it is expected to be ready for official operation today next year, and there is no technical flaw you mentioned at all!"
According to the interpretation of our Xinhua dictionary, the term "great rejoicing" means that regardless of whether the conditions permit it or not, we are bent on doing great things and making great contributions, and it is often used to describe an exaggerated style! However, in terms of conditions, we in China have the money, the ability, and the technology to build this super collider, and there is no such thing as a state where the conditions are not permitted; as for the bent desire to do great things and make great contributions, we do not deny this. ”
"It's just that for the sake of the development of science for all mankind, our country has invested a huge amount of money in building a super collider, isn't it? Or is it really something that you want us to see if we really want to invest this money in the development of military equipment? As for whether it is an exaggeration, I don't want to explain much about this, and you can pay attention to our construction progress at any time. ”
"The third question is, is our Super Collider program a 'Star Wars' program? Here, I would like to reiterate that China is a responsible major country and will not blindly create an unstable situation in the world like some countries! Moreover, the Super Collider is only used to study basic physics, and will not be used for any military purposes; if we can make all countries in the world invest more manpower and material resources in the study of basic physics and contribute to the development of human science and technology, then you will call it a 'Star Wars' program, then we will also admit it. ”
"Hahaha!"
In the group of reporters in the audience, there was a burst of friendly laughter.
Hearing Zeng Hongzhuang's 'ridicule', the reporter's young lady could only sit back in her seat as if she was constipated.
In any case, the fact that the Chinese have invested heavily in building a supercollider, rather than a military one, is definitely a welcome thing for other countries.
Although fundamental physics is indeed the 'engine' of human scientific and technological progress in the long run, it has not had much significant effect on the improvement of a country's comprehensive strength in a short period of time, which has been fully proved in the breadth of time in the past 50 years.
As for the possible breakthroughs in the coming decades, that's the future, and it's only possible......
Tacitly did not continue to talk about these focuses.
Theodore Algernon also finally reacted and found fault from another angle: "Mr. Zeng, you said that the new super collider was built entirely using your own technology, but as far as I know, most of the technology used in your first super collider was obtained from CERN, and even purchased a large number of parts from the OU League. Are you really capable of building a collider on your own, or is it true that CERN fired you because you 'stole' a lot of the technology from CERN, but you also concealed the results of your research?"
"I don't deny that China has learned a lot of technology from CERN, but these technologies are based on the spirit of CERN's agreement, fair and just, any CERN member can use these technologies, if the word 'stealing' is only used on us, it is unfair to other member states, and everyone will protest!"
Zeng Hongzhuang retorted without humility or arrogance,
"As for the fact that we have concealed our research results, are the superconducting electromagnetic stone technology, chip technology, optical detection technology, and data analysis technology used in the LHC also concealed by you? In this regard, I resolutely protest against the OU League's embargo on sales to China, the construction of the super collider is to contribute to the scientific development of all mankind, and any restriction measures are a loss to all mankind and are selfish!"
"However, I would also like to thank you for embargoing us, because it is because of your embargo that we have become self-reliant and developed our own alternative technology!"
The answer should be reasonable and responsible.
Others, on the other hand, don't want to dwell on this issue, because they have been 'arguing' on this issue for a long time when CERN kicked Hua Guo out.
After all, in fact, what Zeng Hongzhuang said is completely true.
The reason why Huaguo has been able to come to the current point, complete industrialization, and realize the 'curve overtaking' of cutting-edge science and technology in many places is precisely because of the blockade of China by various countries, but it is the field of science and technology that is not banned from China, and Huaguo is far behind!
From these aspects, Huaguo should really thank these people for the blockade, thank them for making the Chinese people ashamed and courageous, and have the courage and motivation to be self-reliant!
Therefore, in the venue, the reporters from Western countries were silent, but only the Chinese reporters showed proud expressions.
……
Shanhaiguan, antimatter engineering, oh no, is the Institute of 'Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering'.
The new institute is about to be built, and in fact, they will also hang plaques on the gate of the institute such as the 'Huaguo High Energy Physics Super Collider Research Laboratory' and the 'Huaguo High Energy Physics Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering' research branch, as for the plaque of 'antimatter engineering', it will only be replaced at the right time, but definitely not now!
In the director's office, our professor Liu Feng and Liu Da leisurely made a cup of tea, and then sat in front of the computer, watching the press spokesman speak with ease, and let out a sigh of admiration from time to time.
Especially when he saw that the reporter's young lady was 'scared' and sat back in her seat with a constipated face, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he secretly said 'color' for the spokesman in his heart!
I, Chen Beixuan, act, uh, no, it's our Huaguo doing our own thing, why do I need to explain it to you!
Nodding with great satisfaction.
He likes to see the speakers speak more and more forcefully, and he likes to see the expressions of those Western reporters who have nothing to do with the 'people'.
Satisfied.
though
He still doesn't know how other countries will react to China's $60 billion construction of a new super collider, and whether they will be as confident as he imagined to develop a super collider or even develop it on a large scale.
But he knew that no matter what, for Huaguo, there was no loss in this!
Because, the reason why this press conference was held was completely the result of his discussion with Zhang Qin.
Moreover, judging from the enthusiastic response on the spot, the predetermined goal has basically been achieved!
That's right, this press conference was completely initiated by Professor Liu University!
Three days ago, a phone call from Ningbo gave Liu Feng the courage to design and build a new super-large super collider!
This is news from Mr. Cui Kun.
That's right, room temperature superconducting materials have broken through!
Although Liu Feng had known that this day would come, he really did not expect that this day would come so quickly! So much so that when Academician Cui announced that they had successfully researched superconducting materials at room temperature, he was directly stunned.
Obediently, even if it is himself, with the help of the 'plug-in', it will take two or three years for his self-estimation to produce results, and this is still an optimistic estimate, and Academician Cui just used a few simple calculation programs he developed, and he did it within a year!
You're really open, aren't you!
Shook his head.
The reason why they want to build a new super collider is naturally not for the development of science and technology for all mankind, but for the large-scale production of antimatter!
Moreover, instead of secretly building a second Super Collider, it is better to make it public, and perhaps it can also play some ulterior role!
In short, what the reporter said was actually not wrong, he just wanted to make the Super Collider project a new 'Star Wars' plan, but the 'Star Wars' project M people did not implement it at all, and they were just acting to fool the hairy bear.
That's right, it's made big!
Because, in addition to the breakthrough of superconducting materials at room temperature, the antimatter high-energy meson generator researched by Mrs. Qian Zhengying has also made a breakthrough!
