If it was the top leader of an ordinary province, he would not give such a suggestion, but Qin Feng is different, her age, qualifications and background and other factors determine that he will be a popular candidate for the next leadership team, so his perspective on the problem will be more lofty than that of the top leader of the general province.

Lu Qiujian's victory in the Fields Medal has basically become a fact, and he only needs to wait until next year's World Congress of Mathematicians to be held in Spain to accept the award from the International Mathematical Union! This is the first winner of the highest award in the natural sciences in the history of China, and he has also shown strength in the field of physics, and in addition to the fact that he is only 22 years old, it is very likely that he will win the Nobel Prize in the future.

Huaguo is now in a stage of rapid development, if a Nobel laureate can be born, it will greatly stimulate national pride, and play a huge role in promoting the development of Huaguo's science and technology, so Qin Feng will invite him to return to China; he is also very pragmatic, and did not use an illusory patriotism to persuade Lu Qiujian, but gave an extremely tempting reason - the deepest underground laboratory in the world!

For scientists, there is nothing more attractive to them than a good working environment and a perfect laboratory! Why did Yang Zhenning refuse to return to China back then? In addition to the reason for his political inclination, what is more important is that there is no environment in China for him to do research.

The price of Qian Lao's return to China was that he basically gave up the possibility of further academic progress, if he stayed in the United States, it is almost certain that he would have made far more academic achievements than his current achievements; Qian Lao's choice is undoubtedly admirable, but Yang Zhenning's choice is understandable, after all, for a scientist, the exploration of the unknown is too fascinating.

There is another example that can illustrate the importance of experimental equipment for scientists, that is, the previously mentioned superconducting super collider program (SSC), in 1982 scientists proposed the idea of superconducting super collider, in 83 years approved by the Ministry of Energy to start formal research, 84 years of the center design team was completed. Eris County, Texas was identified as the most suitable address in '88.

Construction began in '91 and about 23 kilometers of tunnels were excavated by '93, and if SSC was built, it would be a great project that would be on par with the LHC, but by '93 this great project was terminated by Congress because the SSC had overspent money and progress was lagging behind.

As a result of this decision, the vitality of high-energy physics in the United States has been greatly damaged, and young people who are interested in this field can only go to Europe, to Geneva, and to study and work at CERN, because there is no experimental equipment that can meet the demand. The United States has lost a generation of high-energy physicists, and now young people in the field of high-energy physics have become scientists from China, Russia, India and other countries, while the proportion of local young scientists has decreased sharply.

Philip Warren Anderson, a physics titan and winner of the '77 Nobel Prize in Physics, who played an important role in the termination of the SSC, suddenly lost his reputation in the high-energy physics community in the United States, and decades of accumulation disappeared in one fell swoop.

In the past, when China's economy was not developed enough, it was difficult to invite an international top scholar to communicate, but now, as soon as the news of China's upcoming construction of the Annular Positron Collider (CEPC) was released, the top scholars in the international high-energy physics field sharpened their heads and wanted to participate.

One is that you can't even invite you, and the other is that you rush to come without being invited. The attraction of experimental equipment to scientists can be seen; if you are interested in continuing your research in the basic field, Lu Qiujian will probably agree without hesitation to the Jinping Underground Laboratory and CEPC.

But, after all, he has a task on his back. Research in the basic field alone could not accomplish his plan, and in order to collect enough energy, it was necessary to carry out applied work, so Lu Qiujian shook his head and rejected Qin Feng's proposal without thinking too much, "According to my plan, the research on dark matter will not last too long." I guess my research will be over before the Jinping underground lab is completed, so I can only say sorry for your invitation!"

Huh? Qin Feng's brows furrowed slightly, with his identity. It's rare to hear such a direct rejection, right? But for scientists, politicians of Qin Feng's level are still relatively tolerant.

There was an incident in those years, the prime minister came back from a foreign visit, convened a meeting of the authority of the domestic communications industry, the prime minister said that I came back from abroad with a lot of feelings, foreign XX technology is very advanced, we should also invest in the development of this technology.

As soon as he finished speaking, an academician in the field of communication who attended the meeting said mercilessly that xx technology is not feasible, it is a gimmick, and it is not suitable for the development of our country, so it is not recommended to study it.

The Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, then nodded and tossed the plan aside.

So Huaguo did not develop this technology, and later facts proved that this technology was nonsense, except for the better name, it was useless at all.

"Then Dr. Lu is still going to stay at CERN after graduation?" Qin Feng still had a smile on his face.

"I still plan to return to China to develop, but the field of research will probably not be as basic as it is now! I want to do some more applied projects!" Lu Qiujian said his plan.

"Oh, are those more applied projects?" Qin Feng was shocked, the breakthroughs in the basic field are gratifying, but it will take a long time for those breakthroughs to be turned into applications, and the applied research is different, once there is a major breakthrough, it will be of great benefit to the entire international economic development.

"First of all, I want to conduct research on controlled nuclear fusion!" For the research of controlled nuclear fusion, all countries have invested, so Lu Qiujian has no way to avoid his secretary, "At present, in addition to the research of dark matter, I am also doing some theoretical research on controlled nuclear fusion in private, and I have also achieved a little results." ”

If China makes a breakthrough in this regard and manufactures a controllable fusion reactor with practical application value, it will greatly change the existing international situation. Therefore, when Qin Feng heard these five words, his heartbeat inevitably accelerated a little, "Dr. Lu also has research on this, and now he has done that?"

This time, Lu Qiujian didn't speak directly, but smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip; Qin Feng reacted immediately, a glance passed, the secretary quietly exited the room, and then Mr. Military Attache pushed the door and walked in. (To be continued.) )

PS: This explains why the protagonist wants to return to China, and the book friends who are engaged abroad must not scold me to death.
