Chapter 127: Wind and Rain Converge Jiangnan (32)
Meg Ryan is a veteran correspondent for Time magazine in Asia and one of the few well-known war correspondents within Time magazine.
A month ago, Meg Ryan shared an interesting piece of news from a friend who teaches at MIT when she was talking to her high school friend about where to go on vacation in August over the phone.
In the exaggerated tone of Meg Ryan's friend Lincy Adrios, a theory even greater than Einstein's theory of relativity has just been born not far from Meg Ryan, and mankind is about to embark on a great journey of interstellar colonization.
After Meg Ryan seemed to understand what kind of relativity theory and space-time curl were stuffed into Linsey's head, Lincy restrained his joking tone and told Meg Ryan in a very formal tone that if he didn't want to miss an interesting news worth digging into, Ryan had better find time to visit the Republic.
It is said that the inventor of the theory of "Three-Body Space-Time Gauge - The Possibility of the Development of a Superluminal Curvature Engine within the Framework of Relativity" is far from being a minor.
Since Meg Ryan is in Asia, it is only natural that she pays a lot of attention to the largest country in Asia.
Some time ago, when China and the United States were fighting over the transfer of AXBX superconducting materials, Meg Ryan also made a column in the science and technology column of Time Magazine, with the title of "Oasis in the Ancient Desert", from the past and present of AXBX superconducting materials, fraud doubts, scientific responsibility, future prospects and other aspects.
Although in the eyes of the official republic, this column called "Oasis in the Ancient Desert" is full of American pride and prejudice in its position, but in general, Meg Ryan still truly restores all the major events that have occurred around the AXBX superconducting material since its birth.
The news from Lin Xi immediately activated Meg Ryan's keen nerves as a senior reporter, and began to inquire about the source and authenticity of Lin Xi's news.
In fact, this news flowed out from the Gangji Digital Laboratory, and the culprit was Jian Zhikang's lover Wei Hui.
In order to maintain the keen sense of research and development of Gangbase Collectors, even if Liang Yuanming knows the general direction of the electronics and communications industry in the future, he still approves a large amount of funds to maintain the technical exchanges between the backbone scientists of various independent laboratories under Gangbase Collectors and their counterparts in Silicon Valley and American universities.
After Liang Yuan came up with the whole theory of "Three-Body Space-Time Gauge - The Possibility of the Development of Superluminal Curvature Engine within the Framework of Relativity", the members of the Yuanjia Conference who had been curious for a long time naturally wanted to have a sneak peek.
Although Wei Hui did not enter the Yuanjia Conference to make decisions, she was only half a level lower than Jian Zhikang in terms of treatment, so she naturally knew that the founder of Yuanjia was Liang Yuan.
Because of the need to participate in the Youth Science Competition, the "Three-Body Problem Time and Space Gauge" naturally has no need to be kept secret, Wei Hui read the whole article and admired Liang Yuan's huge brain, and when he went to the United States for a business trip, he shared this incident as an anecdote to his friend Linxi Adrios, who lived in a dormitory when he was studying in Massachusetts.
Lin Xi Adrios majored in astrophysics, and was interested in interstellar navigation, wormholes, space-time curls and the like, and Wei Hui promised Adrios to fax the full text of someone's "Three-Body Space-Time Gauge - The Possibility of the Development of Superluminal Curvature Engine within the Framework of Relativity" to Lin Xi after returning to China.
Then, due to the strange views and the author's underage, "The Three-Body Problem Space-Time Gauge" became a small but interesting hot spot in Massachusetts, and then slowly spread among the Ivy League leagues.
Meg Ryan originally planned to publish the Asian edition of Time Magazine's scientific column on AXBX superconducting materials, but the headquarters felt that the article could be published on the main page of Time Magazine.
In the words of the editor-in-chief of the current reviewer, this article is a reminder to some people on Capitol Hill who have rust in their heads, and to be cheerful and not so careless when approving funding for NASA next year, otherwise it will be difficult for the United States to maintain its current competitiveness in the international arena.
As long as you have been abroad and mingled in the mainstream society overseas, you will know that the American elite has a strong sense of crisis and likes to exaggerate the strength of opponents or potential competitors.
Of course, Meg Ryan knows a little more than anyone else, for example, Meg Ryan knows that the wife of the editor-in-chief works for NASA.
It is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that the Superconductivity Center of Dongda has just signed an AXBX superconducting material transfer agreement with GE, and the topic has not yet been completely cooled, Meg Ryan feels that the topic of scientific and technological research and development of the Republic can be further explored.
After all, on the bright side, the Republic has invested far less money than the United States to obtain technological achievements that far exceed those of its American counterparts, regardless of whether Meg Ryan summed it up correctly or not, for a country like the United States, where capital is king, there is definitely a topic.
Speaking of which, the transfer of AXBX is also one of the hot topics that people in the press have been talking about lately, and any news that is linked to increasing human life expectancy will quickly become a public hot topic.
GE's medical department shamelessly tied itself to public health to deal with the U.S. hawks' censorship and obstruction of the technology exchange on the grounds that it banned the export of high-tech sensitive technologies.
According to GE's press release in the United States, the Superconductivity Center of Tokyo, which completed the transaction by itself, is a research institute engaged in basic science research and development, and this kind of research institute is similar to NASA in the United States, which relies on federal government funding for basic scientific research, and is a public research institute oriented to the progress of human scientific research, and nothing else.
Through the guidance of public opinion, GE defined this technology exchange as a great cooperation between two highly enterprising, responsible and mission-oriented basic scientific research institutions to better defeat various human diseases.
Then, with the gradual maturity of AXBX superconducting materials, various excellent measured data were frequently created, and GE, which was sandwiched by the surging public opinion, obtained the approval of the export of electron beam physical vapor deposition technology and equipment by an absolute margin at the congressional hearing held for the technology exchange.
Of course, although both the Center for Superconductivity and GE have obtained their respective domestic authorizations for technology exports, the details of the technology transfer exchange need to be further confirmed, and it is rare to dig a small hole in the dam of the US high-tech export blockade to China through the strength of AXBX.
It took three weeks to travel back and forth between the two sides of the Pacific Ocean through radio waves, and Meg Ryan basically figured out the ins and outs of the scientific conjecture "Three-Body Space-Time Gauge - The Possibility of Developing a Superluminal Curvature Engine within the Framework of Relativity".
By inquiring about the public information of the Youth Science Competition, Meg Ryan also found the date and location of the venue where Liang Yuan and the two girls participated in the Youth Science Competition.
What's even more interesting to Meg Ryan is that Lin Xi also revealed an unofficial message from a classmate who said casually and could not be verified, it is said that the Shangri-La bladeless electric fan, which has been popular in the United States for more than three years, was an outstanding design that emerged from the Youth Science Competition.
This news is actually Wei Hui's confusion, someone took out the air conditioning fan in the Qingke Competition, but Wei Hui, who has a good relationship with Li Yuanling, has long known that Liang Yuan is the main proposer of the design idea of the bladeless electric fan, and then when chatting with Lin Xi, Wei Hui once said with a smile that the bladeless electric fan that is popular in your country is actually the award-winning invention of a youth science and technology competition in our country.
In a highly developed capitalist society, the R&D and marketing of a popular commodity has always been a highly professional job, and if the news that the bladeless electric fan is derived from the Qingke Competition is true, it means that the Qingke Competition of the Republic is likely to be a hidden gold-rich mine.
After Meg Ryan, who is very financially savvy, got the news that could not be confirmed, she immediately decided to go to China to see the scene of the Youth Science Competition, and interviewed the scientific research interest group that had completed the "Three-Body Space-Time Gauge" on the way.
On the morning of July 7, Meg Ryan, who had completed all the immigration procedures, took her fellow photographer and flew out of Hong Kong Island's Kai Tak Airport on China United Airlines flight KN5509 from Hong Kong to Shencheng via Shanghai.
After two hours and 30 hours in the air, Meg Ryan and photographer George Hill landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport at 8:15 a.m. on time.
Due to the fact that Kn5509 was stopped in Shanghai and needed to continue flying, the United Airlines Bac passenger plane directly stopped at the remote stand for refueling and did not dock with the covered bridge of the Hongqiao Terminal.
The passengers who took this flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai accounted for about one-third of the total number of passengers on the plane, and more than 30 people got off the plane with hula, and the cabin was suddenly half empty.
Of course, after a while, passengers flying from Shanghai to Shenyang will board the plane on time to fill the cabin space that has just been vacated.
Meg Ryan came to Hongqiao Airport a year ago, and at that time, she also got off the plane at the remote stand and took the Shenfei bus provided by the airport.
In this year, the Republic Ferry has not yet entered the degree of specialization of low-chassis adjustable air suspension, and a bus can be used as a ferry car.
However, the shuttle bus provided by Hongqiao Airport today is a bit strange, not the typical kind of bus that can carry 50+ passengers, but a Toyota van that can only carry seventeen or eight people.
Photographer George glanced at the Toyota minibus, which was already crowded, and blurted out a word starting with an S.
"Don't crowd it, if you don't have a seat, go down first, and I'll come back to pick up people after sending this batch." ”
The minibus driver who acts as a shuttle bus loudly reminds passengers who have just disembarked from the plane.
"Master, what's going on today, won't you send a bigger car to pick up people?"
"Didn't you see the list of passengers who got off the plane, and thought on your heels that you shouldn't have sent such a small car to pick up people." ”
"Don't get angry, listen to me, and continue to scold if you are not satisfied. ”
The driver of the minibus got out of the driver's seat and walked to the door of the minibus and explained loudly.
"Isn't it the beginning of the rainy season in the summer, the city and the reserve force jointly simulated the disaster relief exercise of the Yangtze River, and we have just received a notice that the buses at the airport have been temporarily transferred. ”
"Is there a big flood in the weather this year?"
As soon as they heard the drill, some passengers who lived in the riverside city all year round became nervous.
"No, don't talk nonsense, it's just a plan to prevent accidents, God doesn't open his eyes for a year, no one knows, it's better to be prepared than not to be prepared, isn't it?"
"This road is right, it's still a big city like Shanghai, how can there be such a good thing in my hometown, don't say any exercises, the money for building the dam has been eaten and drunk by those grandchildren. ”
As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, although there is a little complaint, the explanation of the bus driver still won the approval of the passengers, and under the driver's dispatch, order began to be restored, and after a period of chaos, the passengers who had just disembarked from the United Airlines flight were divided into two.
Due to the special situation of the Republic, almost all foreigners in this era brought their own super-national treatment, but Meg and George refused the kindness of a passenger to give up their place, and chose to stop where they were and wait, and then leave the airport after a while
Meg and George were idly talking about the main target of this visit to Shanghai, the two had just chatted for three minutes, and the sound of a propeller engine gradually became clear from far and near, and the two looked up and saw three four-engine propeller transport planes painted in blue and white and forming a triangular formation in the air, which were rapidly reducing their altitude and turning from the flight route to the airport.
