"Wait, who were you talking about?"
"What is who?" Meng Lin was a little puzzled.
"For the last person you just mentioned, tell me his name again."
Meng Lin thought for a moment and recited the last name just now, and when he confirmed that he had heard correctly, Su Yichen pulled a piece of paper from the table, took a pen and quickly wrote a string of English on it.
"Is it him?"
Meng Lin took it and nodded, this English name is indeed the person he said just now, there will definitely be no mistake.
Su Yichen didn't expect Kevin. Professor Adams will actually come to Shanghai. Professor Adams is a professor in the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology in the United States, and although he is far less famous than the people on the list mentioned by Meng Lin, he is not as famous as the first few people on the list. Adams Professor Su Yichen was impressed.
The source of his impression is also the journals he read in the library a few months ago, and among them, there is a professional review article on the ITER project that Su Yichen remembers vividly. Professor Adams made a bold assumption about the current ITER project's delay in opening up the situation, and he pointed out that the core problem of ITER at present is not in the technical aspect, but in the fact that the theoretical basis of the project at the beginning is very flawed, especially the idea of the tokmak device is fundamentally wrong from the beginning, which will lead to this huge project that has lasted for 10 years, cost up to 6 billion US dollars, and has almost gathered the participation of major scientific and technological forces from all over the world.
In the text, Kevin. Professor Adams also proposed a bold new idea to replace the current tokmak device, although this idea he proposed was only a preliminary idea, but Su Yichen paid great attention to it, because from the perspective of the basic theory of his idea, he has already gone to the right path, and what is lacking is only the complete derivation and verification of the subsequent theory plus the final practical test work.
Thinking back to Kevin. The content of Professor Adams's article, Su Yichen was a little fascinated for a while, because Kevin. Professor Adams's approach is similar to the Rand's approach to controlled nuclear fusion, and is even more practical in terms of combining the Earth's existing technology.
These days, with Su Yichen's interest in Kevin. Professor Adams's idea is a testament to this. At the same time, it also made him interested in Kevin. Professor Adams was intrigued by this person, and since Kevin. Professor Adams came to Shanghai this time, so did he find a time to meet the other party? Maybe there will be a pleasant exchange between them.
At this moment, Kevin. Professor Adams had just arrived in Shanghai, and he was accompanied by his colleagues on the academic visit. Compared with those high-spirited peers, Kevin. Professor Adams, however, was not in good spirits, and even his eyebrows were kept tightly locked, as if some problem was bothering him.
"Kevin, take it easy, that's not a big deal." See Kevin. Professor Adams looked like this, as his good friend, Martin Adam of ETH Zurich. Professor Cumberbatch patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
"Thank you, Martin." Kevin. Professor Adams nodded slightly to his old friend, but still frowned and asked, "My old friend, in your professional judgment, are all my thoughts gibberish after a mental disorder?" ”
Martin. Professor Cumberbatch looked at the old friend in front of him, Kevin's appearance was much worse than before in just a few months, he used to be in high spirits and now looked like an ordinary old man, and his mental state was really worrying.
What caused it, Martin, as an old friend, certainly knew that if it weren't for that review article on ITER, Kevin wouldn't be what he is now. Kevin's article quickly attracted the attention of the industry after its publication in a professional journal, but the attention was not praise, but a chorus of invective. Many experts and scholars in physics, including the ITER project leaders of several major countries, unanimously accused the assumptions and comments in Kevin's article as complete nonsense, and the analysis of the Tokmak device was irresponsible nonsense. Countless reviews flew like snowflakes, and several big names in the scientific community even wrote articles themselves, using ridicule and disdain to dismiss Kevin as a clown trying to sensationalize and attract attention in this way to make academic capital.
These reactions were like a bucket of ice water poured head-on on Kevin's head, at first he tried hard to argue, and even wrote a paper to explain his point of view, but then more denial and abuse, and some people even directly said that Kevin. Professor Adams was already insane, and people like him shouldn't have taught at a university at all, but should have been thrown into a mental hospital.
"No, my old friend, I never thought you had any mental problems, and those thoughts of yours were not gibberish." Martin sighed softly and whispered in his ear.
Kevin's body shook slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at his old friend in front of him, his expression was excited and a little complicated, and he opened his mouth to try to say something.
"I know what you want to ask me, do you think I should stand up for you?" Martin asked with a wry smile, and when Kevin nodded in acknowledgement, Martin shook his head and said, "As a scientist, you should know that Bruno and Galileo, who pursued the truth, were burned at the stake and became a martyr." However, Galileo, who also understood the truth, chose to retreat under the pressure of the Church, and thus lived ....... ”
"You mean ......?" Kevin's mind suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning, and he suddenly got up, his hands on the back of his chair, and he looked up at Martin with incredible eyes.
Martin spread his hands helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now your situation is the same as that of the martyred Bruno, even if your theory is correct, so what?" We are well aware of the importance of the ITER project and the size of its organization, and it also involves almost all the most important countries and regions in the world. According to your theory, that would be tantamount to completely overturning the current meaning of ITER, so have you considered what the consequences of this will be? ”
Seeing that Kevin was momentarily confused, Martin knew that he was a nerd, and kindly asked him to explain: "The entire ITER project took 10 years and cost 6 billion US dollars, but this is only a superficial number, and if you add the independent research investment of various countries, such as the United States, Russia, China, the European Union, Japan and other countries, the annual cost of funds is simply astronomical." What's more, how many scientists and researchers do you know working on this project? Even my university would have received a lot of money for this project, but once your theory is proven, the whole thing is over. ”
Kevin's face turned pale and slowly turned red again, he clasped his hands, and his eyes were full of anger, like an angry lion: "Is it because of this ridiculous reason? Shouldn't scientific truth be upheld? ”
"My friend, Bruno once persevered, but he ended up being burned at the stake, Bruno is great, but what's the point? I don't want you to be Bruno, so ....... Martin finally shook his head and sighed, in fact, there was another reason why he didn't tell Kevin, if the ITER project was completely overturned, it would lead to unforeseen events between governments, because this is an international project, and the stakes are too great. As a professional scholar, everyone is not stupid, and it can be said that many people see value in Kevin's article, but the question is what if everyone knows that Kevin is correct? In the current situation, no matter how important the truth is, it cannot defeat the power of interests, so what Kevin is facing is bound to be a tragedy.
