Chapter 391: It's a New Year
Time flies like a white horse, 2012 has passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it is a new year.
However, to the disappointment of many people,
Past 2012,
There is no 9-star alignment, no reversal of the Earth's magnetic field, and no "three consecutive nights" as predicted by the Mayans, and no asteroids hitting the Earth!
In short, what a pity,
The end of the world is gone......
With the exception of a few countries that are still 'exploding', the whole world, both at home and abroad, is basically a peaceful atmosphere, where you should eat and sleep.
For Liu Feng, the past 2012 was also peaceful:
Although he did not produce any earth-shattering research results, nor did he win any major international and domestic awards, he also lived a more stable and fulfilling life than in 2011, because everything he had was placed in the super collider and controlled nuclear fusion engineering.
So much so that many people are very disappointed by this.
After all
According to Professor Liu's usual 'temper', one year is enough time for him to come up with several eye-catching results, and then reap a large wave of rewards around the world, bringing people one news focus after another......
Although it disappointed the people who were looking forward to Liu Feng being able to surprise their eyeballs again, it did not mean that the exposure of Liu Feng's name had declined in any way this year.
Although he didn't make any achievements in science and technology, in other fields, this guy showed off greatly.
The first is the list of "100 most influential people in the world" published by Time magazine.
This is the first time Liu Feng has appeared on this stage, and he has set a new world record for the first time.
He is the first Chinese scientist to make the list!
He also ranked with the elders of the Great Elder of China, the President of Country M Ao Guanhai, the President of Mao Xiong and other major political figures, and became the top 10 most influential people in the world!
And among the top 10, the other 9 are national leaders, and only he is the only civilian!
So much so that the famous physicist Van Lentien, the former president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who wrote for him, wrote in a highly praising tone:
"Professor Liu Feng is the most accomplished and greatest scientist in the world since Albert Einstein, and will continue to be great!
He is so young, so energetic, so self-confident, that even though he doesn't want any exposure, he still attracts the attention of all scientific research institutes and news media around the world.
His every move has even become the focus of the entire scientific field!
His words and deeds have countless people analyzing the meaning contained in them!
And it is very likely that his new achievements will once again shock the whole world and become the key to a new era for mankind!
We are looking forward to seeing him surprise us even more in the new year!
Yes, everyone is looking forward to it!"
In addition to being a 'cover' figure in "Time Magazine", Liu Feng once again showed off on the 2012 Forbes China Rich List.
How long does it take for a person with negative assets to become a billionaire?
10 years, 20 years, or even a lifetime......
However, Liu Feng can answer you, it only took him a year!
Even from the day he was born, it took him less than 20 years!
That's right, this is also the first time that Liu Feng has entered the Forbes list of China's richest people.
And directly for the first time, it climbed the first class 1-100 rankings, with assets of up to 30 billion, ranking ninth, second only to Xu Jiayin, who ranked eighth, with 30.87 billion yuan!
Onslaught!
It's almost able to make everyone's jaws drop when they see this big list!
"666! Is this true?"
"30 billion, I'm scared to pee!"
"In more than a year, from a peasant college student, he started from scratch and turned into a billionaire, who else dare to ask about this operation?"
"This is my Liu Feng God!"
"I have to say, seeing this list, I felt for the first time that there was still hope in my life, biochemical ring talent, this kind of big pit can even fly out of a golden phoenix!
"Applause +1! Don't forget the Gou Fugui upstairs (pitiful)!"
"Applause +2!Upstairs, you are the next Liu Feng Great God (dog head, dog head)!"
……
The news media comment area of the whole country, Weixin Weibo, Youku Tudou Video, etc., are all comments worshiping Liu Feng's great god.
Different from the envy and jealousy of the other rich people on the list, the taste of wishing that these people would die quickly, almost everyone worshiped Liu Feng from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, in the top 20 of this rich list, almost half of the 'rich' have a remark behind them - real estate......
Although Liu Feng doesn't know where Forbes learned that he has assets of 30 billion.
He didn't want to explain anything about that.
He just wants to borrow a very classic line to describe his mood at this time:
Some people say that there is nothing more painful in the world than when people live and money is gone;
It is also said that the most painful thing in the world is that people die and the money is not spent;
And what he wants to say is that the most painful thing in the world is that people can't spend money when they live!
30 billion?
Oh, how much is 30 billion?
Anyway, the numbers in his bank card were never counted.
Because whether it is a material company, or a Qingshan Pharmaceutical Factory, or a Jinhua Plastic Products Factory, or even his research institute, every day is making money.
Especially for material companies, it can be said that what is pulled out is a ton of super materials, and what is pulled back is a ton of banknotes.
What a pain!
From the very beginning, he was worried about when the 10 billion loan allocated to him by the state would be repaid, and slowly in the end, money really became a number in front of him...... Even now he regrets it a little, why did he go to open a company?
Isn't it a waste of time to count the strings of numbers on your bank card?
emmm……
In short, no matter what you say, it is indeed a good thing to have money.
At least, he is financially free, and he can drink a bowl of soy milk and pour it out.
To put it another way:
He was able to use the money to build more factories and create more jobs;
He can use it to expand his research institute, pay absolutely attractive prices to recruit talents all over the world, and strive to build it into the world's most well-known private research institute, contribute additional strength to China's scientific and technological undertakings, and realize the ideal in his heart;
He can even use it for charity, building Hope Primary School, helping those who have had emotional resonance with them, and so on!
And then
But he's richer......
In short, 2013 is a new year, and it is also a year that is destined not to be peaceful.
First of all, in China, Comrade Diao was appointed as the new elder of China, and there were students abroad who were O'Guanhai, who was successfully re-elected as the general manager of the huge company of country M...... At such times, the situation is not always too calm.
However, for Liu Feng, all these changes will not have much impact on him.
It's just that he will also face a lot of challenges in the new year, and his life will not be very comfortable.
The first thing we faced was the arrangement of Professor Ding Zhaozhong and other international friends.
The second is the Super Collider, which solves the accuracy of the large array detector, and at this time it is also the last step of commissioning, which is about to be put into official operation.
There are also more demonstration reactors, with the gradual progress of the project, all kinds of problems emerge one after another......
This series of problems all tested his ability as the chief designer.
Super Collider Research Institute, Huaguo Institute of High Energy Physics, Shanhaiguan.
In the bright office, Liu Feng was looking at the list full of names in his hand with a headache.
I saw him frowning, and the pen in his right hand ticked and ticked and crossed from time to time, as if it made him very embarrassed.
Finally, he let out a sigh of relief, put the list in the folder, and without any further hesitation, strode downstairs with the computer bag in his hand.
"Go to Qinhuangdao City, the research institute over there!"
Downstairs, a Hongqi bulletproof sedan had already been waiting for a long time, and under the protection of the security personnel, Liu Feng got into the car and instructed Geng Tangdao in front.
"No problem!" Without any extra words, Geng Tang directly started the car.
After a while, the Hongqi sedan drove smoothly out of the gate of the base, followed by a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle.
Since the people above decided to equip him with a higher level of security measures, Liu Feng has been surrounded by more than 5 security personnel at all times.
Moreover, this is still on the surface, secretly, and I don't know how many comrades from the Security Bureau are busy for him.
No one wants anything to happen to him, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for others.
After crossing the highway, the "convoy" soon entered the city center and came to the Qinhuangdao base.
Cross the main road in the center of the base, go straight to the main building, and find Professor Ding Zhaozhong's office.
Liu Feng, who was standing at the door, knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in.
Looking at Liu Feng, who pushed the door in, Professor Ding stopped the pen in his hand, smiled and said, "You're finally here! If you don't come again, I'll go directly to you." ”
In the first days when he first came to China, Ding Zhaozhong was not able to directly devote himself to the work of the high-energy institute.
Because whether it is the official or non-governmental in China, a series of activities have been arranged for the newcomers such as Professor Ding, such as awarding awards, attending a certain lecture, and being pulled by a certain university to be a professor or honorary professor.
In short, this kind of thing is absolutely indispensable, so much so that Liu Feng was not able to make arrangements for them at the first time.
"Where, how can I bother your old man to run again? Seeing that you are free here, won't I rush over immediately?" Liu Feng sat down directly opposite Ding Lao, and he was not polite, and responded with a smile.
"Okay, let's stop those confusions and get straight to the point!" Professor Ding shook his head and motioned to Liu Feng to quickly explain the arrangements for them, "Running around these days, my whole bones are about to fall apart!"
Liu Feng nodded.
Although they have tossed a little these days, compared to their gains, they are insignificant, and even Liu Feng, the 'big guy', is so envious that he drools.
In the past few days, Professor Ding, Bradley, and Professor Griffitz have been hired as academicians (or foreign academicians) by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After all, one is a dynamite award bigwig, and the other two are also Clappoull Award winners, both of whom are well-known figures in physics, which is completely understandable in a political sense.
With the name of academician, it has unparalleled advantages in terms of policy and personal treatment.
At least, just look at Professor Ding.
The state directly allocated 10 million yuan of personal special funds to his old man's house, and he was allocated a car and a house, and it was also a house within the third ring road of the capital! The other two were not bad at all, and they were treated well.
So much so that Liu Feng regretted it, thinking in his heart that he would take some time to come out this year, and become an academician or something?
Speaking of which, before the Chinese Academy of Sciences, almost all of them were begging him to apply for academicians.
However, he was so busy last year, and the application and selection of academicians was an extremely complicated process, so he didn't want to 'waste' time on it......
Even President Zhu Qihe called him several times, and finally thought that he 'didn't like' the Chinese Academy of Sciences and wanted to join the Academy of Engineering......
Well, at least this year's academician pleaded down, and he wrote it down first.
After a pause in his vulgar thoughts, the thing finally changed to a serious tone:
"Elder Ding, you should know about the 'controlled nuclear fusion' project on my side, do you have any ideas?"
For the antimatter project led by Liu Feng, the above did not keep it secret from Professor Ding, whether it was out of respect or respect for Ding Lao, they all had their own considerations, and Liu Feng just cooperated.
Thinking of the shocking news he learned from the Great Elder a few days ago, Ding Zhaozhong still couldn't believe his ears.
Liu Feng is engaged in antimatter engineering?
And it has entered the stage of demonstration reactor, and it is almost successful?
It's unbelievable!
If it weren't for the fact that the person who told him the news was the newly appointed Grand Elder Comrade of Hua Guo, he would almost have thought that the person was joking with him.
"Alas!"
Ding Zhaozhong sighed, looking at Liu Feng's still immature face, the old man's expression was extremely complicated,
"yes, I see. I never thought that you guy was not engaged in controlled nuclear fusion, but actually engaged in antimatter!"
"What a bold man! What a big hand! What a big spirit! Of course, it also deceives people so hard......
Liu Feng smiled: "No, the old ancestor said well, soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”
Ding Zhaozhong nodded: "The director is reasonable." ”
"Elder Ding, then, do you want to join us, or ......?"
"Forget it, I'm not going to join in the fun. Shaking his head, the old man's expression was unusually firm, "You have your way, and I have my way." ”
"All my life, I have dedicated myself to the cause of high-energy physics, and after waiting for decades, I can use our own super collider in my later years, and I have no regrets in this life. ”
"What's more, with me leading the 'international friends' outside, I can also block the wind for you, so that I can play my role better, what do you say?"
Hearing that Ding Lao had made a decision, Liu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what the reason, whether it is his own pride, or self-sacrifice, taking the initiative to solve their problems, Ding Lao's decision is worthy of his respect, and even more worthy of his admiration!
After all, few can resist the temptation of antimatter engineering, especially when it is no longer out of reach, but on the contrary, within reach.
At least, in China, even if the academicians who sternly rejected Liu Feng at the beginning, no one could refuse his 'invitation' again under such conditions......
took out the prepared list and handed it to the old man: "Elder Ding, this is the list I have drawn up, and I will leave it to you here in Qinhuangdao in the future......"
