Chapter 385: We're All Old!
Since being taken from the head of the first academy by President Zhou to be a lecturer, Yan Huacan has finally settled down a lot.
Of course, although he became a lecturer, he was still participating in the projects he should have participated in before, and he did not really collapse because of this.
On the contrary, because of the lack of trivial matters that the former dean needed to deal with, he was able to calm down during this period of time, concentrate on scientific research, and finally found the feeling of being a pure scientific researcher that he had lost for a long time, and even successfully solved several major problems along the way.
After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature.
This is probably the state that a scientific researcher should have!
However, the good days didn't last long.
On this day, as soon as Yan Huacan came out of the laboratory, he was called to the office by Principal Zhou.
"Pack your things and come with me to Kadarashe. ”
"Kadarasher?" Yan Huacan frowned.
Cadarasche is a small southern city in Gaul that is not well-known in its own right, but since the ITER headquarters are located here, Cadarasche has become an international center for controlled nuclear fusion research.
Yan Huacan's university is also fortunate to join the ITER organization as a member of it, but they are not based in Kadarasher, but after receiving scientific research projects from the ITER organization, they return to China to do research, and only at a fixed time, they will fly to Kadarasher to make a report, or submit tasks, etc., and the last time they went to Kadarasher was two months ago.
"Something happened, shouldn't we have passed next month?"
"Haven't you been paying attention to the outside news these days?"
Principal Zhou's face was calm, and he threw a stack of newspapers in front of Yan Huacan,
"See for yourself!"
Curiously took the newspaper, during this time Yan Huacan was unanimously immersed in the experiment, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, almost cut off contact with the outside world; his eyes swept over the newspaper page, Yan Huacan's eyes suddenly widened, and he could hardly believe his eyes!
I saw that in the newspaper, a string of bold headlines hung in the most conspicuous position of the newspaper in full bold letters: shock, what kind of reason did the ITER organization cancel China's membership......
"This, how is this possible!" his heart trembled, and Yan Huacan muttered to himself in an incredulous tone.
It's only been a few days, how did such a big thing happen!
You know, almost most of the projects he is engaged in are cooperation projects obtained from ITER, and once Huaguo withdraws from ITER, it is absolutely impossible for these projects to continue, that is, he is inexplicably unemployed?
"Those guys are crazy, why did they cancel our cooperation qualifications?"
"I don't know if Europeans are crazy or not, but the people here at our Institute of Plasma Physics and the Southwest Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry are going crazy!" President Zhou's face was ugly, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Coincidentally, he is one of the backbones of the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the main persons in charge of Huaguo Gyre-2, and one of the Chinese representatives who walked directly on the ITER side!
This time, the ITER organization inexplicably canceled China's membership status, except for the Southwest Institute of Physics of the nuclear industry, he can be said to be the one who has lost the most!
Due to the disqualification, the entire International Controlled Fusion Energy Program Implementation Center is now in an embarrassing situation.
Although it will not be disbanded on the spot, the cooperative research projects linked to ITER have basically been suspended, and domestic funding is naturally hanging in the air, waiting for them to clean up the mess.
Moreover, what made him feel even more embarrassed was that not only ITER's side, but even the Gyre's No. 2 side couldn't be saved this time!
Yesterday, he just came back from a meeting in the capital, and the high-level also gave instructions to them: all the manpower in Gaul will be pulled back, and the domestic circulation No. 2 can also be disbanded, with only one purpose, to fully cooperate with the work of Liu Feng and Chief Designer Liu, and participate in the demonstration reactor project in Shanhaiguan!
Full cooperation!
When he heard these four words, a nameless fire burned in Principal Zhou's heart.
However, this nameless fire was held in his chest again, and there was no way to vent it.
Who would dare not listen to the order from above?
What's more, Liu Feng's side is already building a demonstration pile, can they compare?
Thinking of what antimatter engineering Liu Feng wanted to do, he was also one of the invitees, but he had not been exposed to any antimatter, and he was not optimistic about any antimatter power generation at all.
Even when he heard that Li Zhengwu put a good EAST device and ran to follow Liu Feng to fool around, he also laughed at the 'old thing' that was getting more and more useless, and he would be fooled and lame by a young man!
How do you know now......
Alas, if you know today, why bother in the first place!
Fortunately, the man didn't care about his past suspicions.
It's just that he can already imagine how Li Zhengwu's 'old thing' will laugh at him the next time they meet.
Principal Zhou had a dark face and said in a tone that could not be refused: "This time, we went over, mainly to deal with ITER's 'aftermath', I have already booked the ticket for you, you pack your things and leave at one o'clock in the morning." ”
"As for coming back from Gaul," after a pause, Principal Zhou arranged in a difficult tone, "Let's go directly to Shanhaiguan to report......
Yan Huacan: "???"
At this time, he happened to come across another piece of news - the news that Huaguo, under the leadership of Professor Liu University, was building a controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor in Shanhaiguan.
The mouth that had just opened was closed again, and his heart was even more affected by a 5-ton critical hit.
Demonstration pile, Liu Feng?
I see!
It's just that it's this guy again!
……
sent Yan Huacan away, and just when Principal Zhou was about to go to dinner, a phone rang.
When he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Comrade Principal couldn't wait to throw it away!
I'm really afraid of something, and sure enough, it was Li Zhengwu's old thing calling......
The corners of Principal Zhou's mouth twitched slightly, and his face turned even darker, but he still pressed the button to connect.
"Hey!"
"Old Zhou, how are you doing?" On the other side of the phone, a hearty voice came, almost standing five miles away.
Principal Zhou, who had been prepared, took the microphone farther away, sneered directly, and said, "Hehe, don't you know how your 'old thing' is doing?
Li Zhengwu: "Hmph, you 'old thing', you are still so unkind, Lao Tzu kindly called you to greet you, is this how you treat your old friend?"
Pursed his lips, Principal Zhou, who was holding his mobile phone, snorted coldly: "Old friend? When you quit the 'Circulation No. 2' and formed EAST on your own, why didn't you think of my old friend?" ”
"This is your guy, right, how many years have you been in the old yellow calendar, and you still hold on to it? Besides, what kind of person are you? At the beginning, you were already the direct person in charge of the 'Circulation No. 2', and you can still see our patchwork EAST?"
The two continued to talk for a while.
Finally, Academician Li Zhengwu also seemed to have received the news that Circulation No. 2 was about to be disbanded, and continued:
"Old Zhou, we have also withdrawn from ITER, I heard that Gyrea No. 2 is also about to be disbanded, do you have any plans? or ......?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I, Zhou Zuofu, will be like you to be a 'dog' leg' for others? Besides, where did you hear the gossip that Circulation No. 2 is about to be disbanded?" Zhou Zuofu's heart moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You're going to give me a hard mouth!" Academician Li Zhengwu on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, "We don't know who you are, listen to me, come to Shanhaiguan, and our brothers will join hands again......"
"Hehe~"
"Hehe, you are big, in a word, you old thing can't come, Professor Liu, you still have to give me a face......"
"Not coming!"
"You old thing, why don't you listen to persuasion? Those of us who engage in controlled nuclear fusion, where else can we go except in Shanhaiguan?" Li Zhengwu was a little anxious, why is this old thing's temper still so hard!
When the new EAST project was built, he took into account this guy's temper, coupled with the uncertain future, and he was not sure, so he didn't pull this guy over, but this time, he couldn't say anything and watch Lao Zhou die without repentance.
Hearing the eager and anxious voice on the other side, Principal Zhou was slightly moved, but he still blurted out: "Even if I die, I won't give a hand to a guy who can be my grandson!"
"Okay, you old thing, are you coming or not!" Li Zhengwu on the other side was directly angry.
"Don't come! Death won't come!" Principal Zhou was still stubborn.
"Okay, you wait for me!"
……
Half an hour later.
President Zhou's office door was directly kicked open by Academician Li Zhengwu.
"Old thing, you can't tap lightly, you can accompany you if the door is broken!" Principal Zhou glared at Li Zhengwu who broke into the door, "Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't lock the door." ”
"You know I'm coming?" Li Zhengwu's eyes widened.
"Nonsense, otherwise how could Lao Tzu leave the door for you. Zhou Zuofu rolled his eyes, "Every time I come over, I kick Lao Tzu's door, tell me, how many doors have you broken for me?"
Regardless of so much at all, Li Zhengwu made it to the sofa opposite with a big grin, cocked Erlang's legs and didn't say anything, just stared at Principal Zhou directly.
"Here comes again!" Zhou Zuofu was stared at uncomfortably, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid of you, you can just say anything directly, but let's say it first, let me go to Shanhaiguan but I can't do it." ”
Li Zhengwu smiled, showing a victorious look: "It's okay, I'm here to invite you to have a drink today, and by the way, I'll catch up on the old days or something." How's it going, old place, if you don't get drunk, you won't return?"
"If you don't get drunk and don't return, you won't get drunk, I'm afraid you won't make it!"
The two went directly to the old restaurant in Shen's alley outside the school, called two pots of old flower carvings, and after drinking for thirty years, they finally became old friends who talked about everything.
"Lao Zhou, you know that in my life, I have always been not afraid of heaven and earth, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not as old as me, and I have never served anyone, but this time I am ....... Academician Li Zhengwu said with a few drops of wine beads on his gray beard, and his eyes were hazy.
"Oh, I know you've always admired me, and you dare to come all the way to pat me on the back for me!" Principal Zhou said with a smile as he filled both of their cups.
"Beautiful you!" Li Zhengwu blew his beard and glared, picked up his wine glass and touched a glass with Zhou Zuofu, "Don't you know what level Lao Tzu is? Don't say that compared to that person, even compared to us, it is more than a step worse!"
Zhou Zuofu snorted coldly, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Zhengwu suddenly sighed.
"Hey,"
"Lao Zhou, I have to admit that we are all old!"
After drinking the old flower carving in the cup, Li Zhengwu seemed to be a little overwhelmed, lying on the table, and chatting about the past with nostalgia.
From the beginning, Deng Gong said that our country should have its own 'artificial sun', and then we imitated the people of country M to make a stellar, learned from the woolly bear to make a tokamak, and then did inertial constraints, and finally returned to the tokamak, and joined the ITER, what did we get in the end?"
"In addition to dozens of useless 'artificial sun' devices, we still follow other people's butts to do research, and we still haven't walked out of our own path, and we still can't see hope!
"Why do you think I'm going to join that man's antimatter project?"
"Because I'm desperate!"
"It's been decades, but disappointment or disappointment!"
"What can the so-called artificial sun be made of in addition to being able to burn for a few seconds and tens of minutes?"
"It's just a scam, a red fruit scam!"
"I don't want to lie to myself anymore!"
"I don't want to see that when I am in the ground, we have worked hard for most of our lives, and it is still an unattainable dream!"
"Of course, you can say that I, Li Zhengwu, am eager for quick success, and I fully admit it!"
"So I came out of Gyre-2 to do EAST, so I came out of EAST to do antimatter!"
"But this time, I did it right!"
"You never know what a demonic theoretical talent that young man has!"
"You never know how sharp that young man's scientific instincts really are!"
"You never know how much more that young man can achieve!"
"Can you imagine that in just a few days, he was able to design a new type of ultra-laser collider;
In just one week, he was able to develop a novel and practical theory of materials science;
In just two months, he was able to develop a new type of superconducting material;
In just half a year, he has opened up the direction of all antimatter production and application!
From the membrane reactor for petroleum cracking and cracking to the reverse osmosis membrane of polyamide composites, from the super water treatment material to the completion of the grand unified theory, from the 'high-energy particle strong electromagnetic field interchange constraint' to the 'controllable nuclear fusion reactor', it is only two years to complete the calculation!"
"I, Li Zhengwu, have never admired a person, but there is only one exception like him!"
"We're really old......"
Zhou Zuofu's heart was actually touched.
But seeing Lao Li's expression, he wanted to laugh even more, and deliberately showed a touched look on his face:
"But, are you willing? You don't feel distressed at all? Your hard work has also been ruined by that guy!"
There's a play!
"I'm distressed! Why don't I feel distressed! It's just that my current efforts have now become an antimatter demonstration reactor! In a few years, the whole of China will be able to use the electricity generated by the antimatter power plant.
Speaking of this, Li Zhengwu, who seemed to be drunk, straightened his waist, and there was a flash of divine light in his eyes.
"Old Zhou, I know that you couldn't save face because you rejected Professor Liu, but you still have to listen to my advice, take advantage of this hitchhiking opportunity, you don't have to be tough, ah?!"
"Hahaha!" Seeing that Li Zhengwu accidentally revealed his true form, Zhou Zuofu finally couldn't help laughing.
"You, what are you laughing at?"
"Lao Li!" Zhou Zuofu couldn't bear to load this product any longer, "I understand your kindness, tell you a secret!"
"What secret?" Li Zhengwu said curiously.
"You must have flown here last night, right? Actually, I had already communicated with Professor Liu long before you came......
“???”
Li Zhengwu was directly stunned, as if there were 100,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.
Communicated?
MMP!
This old thing!
