Chapter 416: Warriors of the Nation

If we want to say that the greatest influence of antimatter engineering must be reflected in the two major aspects of energy and power.

Needless to say, energy is enough to change the magic weapon of the entire world system, and antimatter power is also a great magic weapon that can enable mankind to truly enter the national space age!

However, in terms of energy, the influence of antimatter power generation has not yet been fully highlighted, and only when it does completely replace thermal power generation or other power generation methods is when it will spread its influence to the whole society, and this time, as the high-level government plan says, will take at least one or two decades.

As for power, the development of antimatter engines has not been successful so far, not to mention its influence.

The influence of these two achievements has not yet been highlighted, but a series of new materials developed because of the research on antimatter engineering have been the first to explode.

For example, the anti-radiation, high-temperature, and room-temperature superconducting electromagnet materials used in antimatter demonstration reactors are not only demonstration reactors, but also have significant effects in other projects, especially room-temperature superconducting materials, whose influence has even begun to spread to the three pillar industries in China.

First of all, because of the zero resistance characteristics of superconducting materials at room temperature, it has brought a new technological leap to the electronics industry, and more and more ultra-fine electrical components are being born.

For example, the military industry in China was the first to eat this crab.

It is said that because of the use of these superconducting components, the operating efficiency and stability of the military's fighters, warships, missiles, satellites, and other weapons, especially those with chips and processors, have been improved by dozens or even hundreds of times!

In addition, there are new electromagnetic guns, aircraft carrier electromagnetic catapults, etc., the use of new superconducting materials at room temperature, the effect of which has risen sharply, but the volume of the instrument has shrunk in a straight line; there are also superconducting computers, quantum computers, etc., it is said that scientific research units have studied them, and their efficiency is tens of thousands of times that of traditional computers!

In addition to the zero resistance characteristics of superconducting materials, using the diamagnetism of superconducting materials (placing superconducting materials on top of a permanent magnet, because the magnetic field lines of the magnet cannot pass through the superconductor, there will be a repulsive force between the magnet and the superconductor, so that the superconductor is suspended above the magnet, which is the principle of magnetic levitation), the national industrial department and major laboratories have been studying high-speed superconducting maglev trains and maglev vehicles, vowing to make deeper changes to China's transportation industry;

In addition to transportation, they even applied the magnetic levitation characteristics of superconducting materials to the research and development of large construction machinery, which can make important components have no friction, greatly increase the braking efficiency and speed of machinery, and achieve many functions that existing large construction machinery cannot do.

Electronic equipment, machinery manufacturing, automobile transportation, this is an important economic pillar of China's economy and even the world's major powers, once the results are highlighted, even more than the success of "controlled nuclear fusion" brought about by the changes to the existing world order!

In addition, new technologies such as medical treatment and superconducting power transmission will be the key layout direction of Huaguo in the next few decades.

If it weren't for the production limitation of superconducting materials at room temperature, the new technologies that have matured because of the breakthrough of superconducting materials may be promoted on a large scale in an instant, and cause a new technological revolution!

It is precisely because of the great influence of room temperature superconducting materials that the highest national science and technology award in 2013 was awarded to Academician Cui Kun after careful consideration.

Seeing that Academician Cui had put most of the credit on himself, Liu Feng shook his head with a wry smile.

To be honest, the research direction of the material was indeed proposed by him, but without the in-depth development of the team led by Cui Lao, trying again and again, even if he wanted to study it, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

He played a leading role in it at most, and all the results were made by people experimenting again and again, and he really wanted him to claim this credit, and he himself felt shameless.

However, the more than 3,000 experts and professors present did not think so!

One by one, they whispered, and from time to time they looked at him with adoration and fiery eyes.

"The dynamite award boss is really amazing!"

"Even the highest national science and technology award, people can't look down on it!"

"Also, he is the chief designer of the 9511 project, with such achievements as controlled nuclear fusion, how can other leftovers be taken to heart!"

"Alas, if only I could follow this big guy to do research, even the achievements that others don't look down on can win the highest national science and technology award, even if I just give him a shot!"

"Lao Cui, this guy is so lucky! He really regretted killing me, and when this guy also asked me to join this project, I was blind and refused! Alas!"

"This Professor Liu is really terrifying, you must know that he was only 23 years old in June this year!

"Sadly, we will all have to live in the same era with this monster for decades to come!"

"We're old guys okay, look at our next generation or even the next generation, with this one's edge, they are the worst!"

The whispers from the audience did not affect the award ceremony on stage.

After Academician Cui Kun finished speaking, in a warm applause, the Great Elder and he successively presented awards to the winners of several other heavyweight awards such as the first prize of the National Natural Science Award.

However, to Liu Feng's surprise, in addition to Academician Cui Kun, President Lian Hanfei of the Naval University of Engineering also won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award this time!

Although it was not a special prize, it also surprised Liu Feng a little.

Because President Lian has developed the only radar equipment in China that has all-day, all-weather, over-the-horizon, and sea-air compatible sea detection capabilities, and has made breakthroughs in the key technologies of the new system of sea detection radars, and solved the problems of signal processing and target detection against the background of strong sea clutter, radio interference, and atmospheric noise, the military has even begun to build the first radar station of the new system in China.

I have to say that among the dozens of radar research laboratories across the country, the laboratory of the University of Marine Engineering led by President Lian has shown a big face this time, which makes other radar experts hate it!

Of course, if this person is also allowed to make a speech, I am afraid that he will be like Academician Cui Kun, and most of the credit will be placed on our Professor Liu.

After all, the reason why he even Hanfei can have today is not because of the kind of new materials that Professor Liu provided him?

Except for Academician Cui Kun and President Lian Hanfei, Liu Feng was no longer familiar with the other awards this time, so Liu Feng did not pay too much attention to the other winners.

After another warm applause to the winners on the stage, according to the usual practice, the presiding officer of the meeting, that is, the second elder, on behalf of the Prime Minister's Office, will extend warm congratulations to all the award-winning personnel, pay high tribute to the vast number of scientific and technological workers across the country, and express heartfelt thanks to the foreign experts who participated in and supported China's scientific and technological undertakings.

However, this congress is destined to be different.

After the National Science and Technology Award Conference, the Great Elder took over the microphone and personally awarded the 16 specially made and specially named Golden Meritorious Service Medals - Top Gun Medal to the researchers who have made outstanding contributions to the 9511 demonstration reactor project!

Top Gun, its meaning does not need to be explained.

As for the medals, they are made of 8 centimeters in diameter, 99.9% pure gold, weigh 515 grams, come with a ribbon, and can also be hung on the chest.

THE MAIN PATTERN ON THE MEDAL IS COMPOSED OF FIVE STARS, GREEN CLOUDS, OLIVE BRANCHES AND LIGHT LINES, AND THE FIVE STARS IN THE CENTER OF THE MEDAL REPRESENT THE COUNTRY OF CHINA REN;

The green clouds not only symbolize the perseverance and perseverance of the Chinese nation, but also symbolize the cause of the great rejuvenation of the nation.

The olive branch shows China's determination to develop the "9511" project in order to maintain world peace and development and benefit the world;

As for the rays of light, as the name suggests, they symbolize the antimatter engineering, which is like the rays of the sun, providing a constant stream of energy to the world.

In addition to these patterns, the medal also comes with a certificate signed by the Great Elder, and is packaged in a mahogany box, with its specifications, materials, patterns and certificates, highlighting the characteristics of the highest level medal in the GONGHE country!

The medal's dignified design, magnificent shape, excellent production, and gorgeous packaging can be called the most exquisite medal in the history of China (only the medal of 'Bright Bullet Shirt Star' with almost the same shape can be compared, and the position of Qingyun in the medal is the Great Wall, which symbolizes the solidity of national defense. And because only 16 have been awarded, it is even more precious than the 23 of the 'Bright Bullet Clothes Star'!

As for the list of medals, so far, there are 16 people, including Wang Yifang, Tian Xuelin, Qian Zhengying, Li Zhengwu, Wang Chengshu, Li Yongfeng, Cai Jiren, Cui Kun, Fang Shouxian, He Zuoxiu, Chen Xuedong, Ma Mingwei, Zhuo Hongbo, Feng Duan, Zhang Qizheng, and Xi Lebang.

Of course, the reason why there are only 16 people is because so far, there are still big projects such as antimatter engines that have not been completed, and at that time, such as Academician Kim Donghan and others, they will naturally have the opportunity to get 'Top Gun'.

Looking down at the meritorious medal hanging around her neck, Wang Yifang was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Unexpectedly, he, a person engaged in high-energy physics and super colliders, would be able to win the 'Top Gun' medal in this life, which is comparable to the medal of the 'Bright Bullet Suit Star'!

This made him feel as if he was in a dream, and his hands holding the award certificate trembled faintly.

If this is not a dream, then it is all because I have taken in a baby apprentice!

And if it's a dream, then let it never wake up!

In addition to Academician Wang, the other 10 or so award-winning experts, why is this not the case?

Especially Academician Li Zhengwu, he was obviously tied up by Liu Feng and sent to this stage!

If he still stubbornly refused to participate in this great project, or just like his old friend Zhou Zuofu, he waited until most of the project was carried out before joining, and now he is standing on this stage and winning the medal of 'Top Gun', there will be no him!

Thank you, Feng Liu, and Professor Liu!

Not only did he earn himself the great honor of being a 'bright bullet coat', but he even fulfilled the wish of himself and their generation - controlled nuclear fusion!

Although this is a 'controlled nuclear fusion' that sells dog meat on a sheep's head, to another extent, it is controlled nuclear fusion, even better than controlled nuclear fusion!

I still remember that in the spring of 1958, the Institute of Atomic Energy was preparing to build a thermonuclear fusion research laboratory, and he and his eldest sister Wang Chengshu were transferred here to engage in theoretical work, and served as the deputy director of the thermonuclear fusion research room of the Institute of Atomic Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Up to now, the research on controlled fusion has gone through 56 years!

Most of his life's hard work has gone through almost three generations, watching his old friends either go their separate ways or have not suffered the torment of the years, how can his heart not be excited?

Now, the project of the century has finally been completed.

And this commendation conference can be regarded as a successful end to this vigorous scientific research project.

Although, it eventually became an antimatter demonstration heap......

Looking down at the glittering gold medal on his chest, Academician Li wiped the corners of his eyes and muttered softly in a voice that only he could hear:

"Old guys, we made it!"

He still remembers that it was the early spring of 55 years, and under the care of Zhou Xiang, he and Qian Yu were XII.br />

However, not long after returning to his homeland, his original dream was to become a nuclear weapons designer, but by mistake, he devoted himself to this vigorous cause of controlled fusion research.

Ten years, ten years, ten years...... Qian Xuesheng has become Master Qian and has won incomparable honors, but he has always been on this road that seems to be forever full of hope but never has an end in sight......

In this regard, he also regretted and was confused, but in the end he persevered without hesitation.

From theoretical design to Circulation-1, from Circulation-1 to stellarators and tokamaks, he has traveled almost all the roads that can be taken by Huaguo's controllable fusion research!

Although, at this moment, most of his companions are no longer visible.

But he believes that if they had a spirit in heaven, they would be proud and proud of the efforts he has made with them today!

Of the 16 people who stood on the stage to receive the commendation of 'Top Gun', 14 were academicians, only two professors, Zhuo Hongbo and Feng Duan, were just ordinary scholars.

Looking at the two people on the stage who were side by side with a cadre of academicians, especially Zhuo Hongbo, who was still his apprentice, He Chengbi and Shi Lerong, the two academicians, were both embarrassed and remorseful.

If it weren't for their firm belief in not quitting the research on antimatter weapons and ammunition, how could it be the turn of the two of them to stand on the stage now?

This is clearly my own credit for them!

Regrets.

On the other side, Zhou Zuofu, who was sitting on the front row of the Great Hall, touched the medal on his chest with a complicated expression, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Just because he was not optimistic about it at the beginning, he let himself take such a glory, and compared to Li Zhengwu and Wang Chengshu, how could he be worse than Zhou Zuofu?

They are all the same people who have devoted themselves to the cause of controlled nuclear fusion research at the beginning, and they are all princes who have studied such a cause, and even his position was half a level higher than that of the two of them, and his achievements in the cause of controlled nuclear fusion over the years are not much worse than the two, but he did not expect that he was one step behind step by step, and he became a person on the stage, but he was a spectator from the audience......

In addition to these 16 'Top Gun' medals, Academician Zhou Zuofu and others can naturally only be one of the 160 advanced individual awards.

However, in addition to these 176 meritorious personnel, the Grand Elder also awarded 4 'Top Gun' group medals, which were awarded to the 4 teams of antimatter production, storage, power generation, and weapons;

In addition, it is the only, most special, and highest gold medal of this commendation conference - the 'National Soldier' Medal!

That's right, there's only one of them!

And its winner is well-deserved - Liu Feng!
