With Professor Ding's active cooperation, the two bases of Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan were officially divided into two parts.

Shanhaiguan has become a production base for antimatter, while Qinhuangdao has become a research center for high-energy physics collision experiments, and a large number of domestic and foreign experts and professors who are determined to study microscopic particles and discover new physics have once again united in the scientific research team with Professor Ding Zhaozhong as the core.

Although the two bases are not far apart, and there will inevitably be certain personnel exchanges in the future, after the two bases are separated, the safety and confidentiality of antimatter production can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, which is also Liu Feng's original intention of dividing the base into two places.

The distribution of bases and personnel has been completed, and the commissioning of the entire super collider has also entered the fast lane, and it will soon be officially put into operation;

With the Qinhuangdao side under the management of Professor Ding Zhaozhong, and the Shanhaiguan side, Boss Wang was also in charge, so Liu Feng took a break from the collider matter and devoted himself to the construction and commissioning of the antimatter demonstration reactor.

……

With the passage of time, the demonstration reactor base is gradually getting on the right track.

If someone condescends or directly observes the situation of the entire base with satellites, it is easy to find that the entire base is different almost every day - reactor workshop, generator workshop, experimental building, office building, dining hall and dormitory, and even the base life and entertainment hall, etc., with the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of people in the base, from scratch, until May, these buildings and facilities were all completed.

In particular, the reactor and generator workshop, the core of the base, were like a long queue of instrument parts, and finally the installation was completed in May.

Next, it was time for intensive commissioning.

However, on this day, it was around 7 o'clock in the morning.

After Li Yongfeng got up, he did not go to his own office as usual, but directly found Liu Feng.

"Professor Liu, you are still in the office. ”

Knocking on the door of Liu Feng's office, Li Yongfeng really found that Liu Feng was already busy in the office, and he couldn't help but admire this guy more and more.

This guy is the first group of people to arrive at the office almost every day, and he is also the last group of people to rush back to the dormitory to rest every day, sleeping later than the dog, waking up earlier than the chicken, and even staying at the base for several days, eating, drinking, and not coming out of the office.

People's talent is already the demon of the demons, but they work harder than most people, if such people are not successful, what kind of people can succeed?

Seeing Liu Feng's fishy sleepy eyes and messy head shape, Li Yongfeng sighed secretly in his heart, and he was not surprised, and said directly,

"I came to you early in the morning to talk to you about reactor control procedures. ”

"Procedural problems?" Putting down the coffee in his hand, Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "No, it stands to reason that the control procedures of the reactor are all directly from your EAST side, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Li Yongfeng shook his head: "Of course, there is no problem with the procedure from COPY over there. But as for the control procedures of the reactor and the power generation module, I thought about it for a long time last night and found several problems. ”

"The control scheme of the reactor and the power generation module?" After hearing Academician Li's question, Liu Feng was slightly stunned and frowned, "I really don't know much about this." Can you elaborate on that?"

Li Yongfeng nodded and explained the specific content of the problem to Liu Feng from the perspective he saw.

In short, the tokamak reactor chamber has a high density of plasma, which is extremely unstable and turbulent all the time.

Although there is no such plasma in the antimatter reactor cavity, there is also a high density of high-energy charged mesons, and in terms of the structure of the device, the two are very similar, and similar phenomena occur.

Therefore, like the EAST device, there is a circle of magnetic confinement devices composed of superconducting materials in the outer cavity of the antimatter reactor, and these magnetic confinement devices are like an invisible hand, controlling the direction of high-energy charged mesons, reducing the occurrence of 'turbulence'.

It's just that the high-energy mesons produced by antimatter reactors are very fast, and they exist for a very short time, and all changes happen in an instant, of course, these things are simply impossible to control by people, and can only be done by computer programs.

As a result, the previous EAST unit had a very mature control system.

However, the antimatter reactor is different from the EAST device after all, because the EAST device does not have a power generation module connected at all, nor does it have the Penning ion trap device that the former needs to be connected, and the control system of the antimatter reactor becomes extremely complex and large after the original system is connected to the other two systems0.

On this point, Cai Jiren, an old academician of the Faculty of Information and Electronic Engineering, has a very right to speak.

Because it took them a full year to integrate the programming and information experts of more than a dozen universities such as Beijing University, Mizuki, and Jingcheng Airlines, and a total of more than 5,000 programmers joined in before and after, which led to the development of the two systems.

"Professor Liu, these three systems each have their own computer systems, and when a single system runs separately, the requirements for the computer are not big, but once the three systems are combined, the requirements for the computer are very high. ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Feng stroked his chin, thoughtful.

"We need a supercomputer!" Li Yongfeng said very firmly, "After the integration of the three systems, there will be a certain delay time for the joint processing of these data by ordinary computers, and the average speed of high-energy charged mesons in the cavity of our reactor has reached 0.6 times the speed of light!"

"At such a high speed, if the computer does not process it in time, there is a high probability that these high-energy mesons will deviate from control, affecting the stability of the reactor and the safety of the power generation system. However, although Cai Lao developed these two sets of control systems, he was not an engineer who designed the instruments after all, and he had no experience in operating them, so they did not take into account the impact of computer delays on the reactor......"

"I understand!" After listening to Academician Li's explanation, Liu Feng's eyebrows jumped directly, looking at this thing, he needed money again! Finally, after thinking for a moment, his face became serious, "I'm afraid the problems you mentioned are not just hardware problems, right?"

Li Yongfeng nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Well, that's the case. It is also necessary to combine the programs of the three major systems for regulation and control......"

Liu Feng stroked his forehead with a headache on his face, and sighed: "That's it, wait until tomorrow I will convene a meeting of the professors of the information system and set up a working group." Let them solve all the problems, including the program control scheme, by the way, how much do you need to budget?"

Academician Li thought for a while and casually reported a number: "About 30 billion." ”

Liu Feng: "......"

Academician Li hesitated: "Probably, about 2.5 billion?"

"Alas!" sighed, Liu Fengdi's head hurt even more.

Although Liu Feng has always been reassured by the above, he can just find them if he doesn't have money, and he has as much as he wants, but he has long learned to be careful when he was poor since he was a child, and he can't wait to break a dollar into two dollars to spend.

However, despite this, the project has already cost 200 billion yuan!

And more supercomputers will be built in the future - such as the one in the Shuchuan area, the basic budget will cost at least 400 billion!

I'm really afraid that one day the people above will come to him and tell him that the emperor's family has no more food in stock......

"That, you know," Seeing that the corners of Liu Feng's mouth twitched, Academician Li said weakly, "Two months ago, the Yangcheng City Government purchased a supercomputer with a computing power of 100 million times per second, which cost 2.4 billion yuan, and I estimate that the supercomputer we need must at least have this capacity, plus we have to call on the personnel of the information system to develop the program......"

With hundreds of millions of billions of scientific research funds at every turn, you don't know how many professors you can support if you throw a project out at will, so it's no wonder that Europe wants to join forces to engage in ITER.

Liu Feng shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing, let's give Zhang Qin, the big housekeeper, a headache, all he can do is to get the project up as soon as possible.

"You can go down and make a report and hand it in, as for how to solve the specific program control plan, you can go down and communicate with Cai Lao yourself, is there anything else?"

Li Yongfeng just wanted to say no, but suddenly remembered that it was more convenient for Liu Feng to take out the supercomputer matter, so he spoke.

"By the way, there's one more thing. ”

Liu Feng: "What's the matter?"

"This, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shuguang Information Industry Co., Ltd.), if you can, you can go over in person, and you should be able to get their dawn at cost price. ”

"Dawn?" Liu Feng nodded.

The Dawning series of supercomputers, although not as good as Shenwei and Tianhe series, is also relatively high in China, but he can really get the cost price? Originally, he was going to give Zhang Qin a headache, but he didn't expect that the person who had a headache in the end was himself......

"Why is that?"

Academician Li smiled: "Now in the whole of China, your name of Professor Liu, where do you go, where do you dare not give you face? Especially on their side, I heard that the new Dawning series is being researched, and the room temperature superconducting materials you developed need to be used, but they have always been out of stock, so ......"

"Alas, I understand...... Liu Feng nodded and sighed, "Well, it seems that I have to go this time." ”

"That is, you can save us hundreds of millions of dollars on this trip!" Hearing Liu Feng's promise, Li Yongfeng instantly felt that his guilt was half less, and said happily, "Okay, that's it, when you come over, I can reply to them." ”

Liu Feng: "......"

Total feeling,

It's like you've fallen for something.

But forget it, anyway, in the capital, he originally planned to go back recently, and he could save hundreds of millions of dollars by going on a trip, so why not?

……

On May 18, 2013, the Gallic government announced that President François Hollande had signed the law on same-sex marriage, and since then, Gaul has officially become the 9th country in Europe and the 14th country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage!

Slowly, first of all, he Liu Feng and Professor Liu are not the base, and Zhuo Tingting will not allow it, cough cough......

The reason why Liu Feng paid attention to this news was because when he returned to Beijing University of Chemical Technology to 'round the room', his 'good apprentice' Fei Xiujin happened to be 'lazy' and browsed the news on the computer......

"Ahem, that, that," in the laboratory, Liu Feng's sudden appearance frightened Fei Xiujin and hurriedly closed the website, turned his head and glared at Du Hong viciously, why didn't he tell the military situation?

But I saw Du Hong's innocent eyes, which means, we didn't see it either!

"Dear boss, are you back, when did you come back, and why didn't you notify us when you came back?"

Liu Feng also glared at this guy viciously, what do you say you don't see well, why do you pay attention to this kind of news?

"Why, you've finished your experiments? The new materials have been researched? The paper has been written? There is still a month to go, and I won't be able to complete my task by then, so don't blame us for being selfless!"

With a smile on his face, Fei Xiujin hurriedly stood up, put the bench behind Liu Feng, and pulled Liu Feng to sit down: "Boss, you sit down...... That experiment, it's going to be over soon, it's going to be over soon, and there's only this last point left in the paper, why don't you give us a slap in the palm of your hand first?"

"Fuck off! Hurry up and go to the experiment!" Liu Feng rolled his eyes, hating that iron can't make steel, "It's the deadline soon, your experiment hasn't been completed yet, do you want to graduate?"

"And you!"

Caught Fei Xiujin a typical, Liu Feng was not finished, his sharp eyes scanned the entire laboratory, but he softened in front of a beautiful figure.

"Ahem. ”

Turning his head, he continued to publish the advice of Mentor Liu:

"There's still one month to go, hurry up if you don't finish it! I don't want you to cry and shout and beg me to let you go at the end, and I, Liu, am not this kind of temper of favoritism!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why I asked you to complete the project at this point in time is mainly to give you the opportunity to participate in the Young Scholars Exchange Conference of the Chinese Chemical Society this summer;

"Okay, I won't say much nonsense, Master leads the door to practice in an individual, there is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, you really miss it, I hope you will cherish it. Now, if any of you have completed the material paper, you can also show it to me, while I still have time......"
