Chapter 44: Chinese New Year

"Are you sure?" The dean's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but amplify his voice on the other side of the phone.

"Sure."

"Wait, I'll think about what this is."

The dean calmed down, thought for a while and asked, "Student Lu, how sure are you that you have developed an overall model of plasma turbulence?" ”

At his level, he already knows about the scientific research projects that are being carried out in many countries, and if the phone call to Lin Meng from above is true, it means that the above may adjust the priority of some key projects.

As a university, as part of the country's scientific research force, it is a good thing for the university to know in advance that the state will adjust the resource investment of that project, so that it can prepare in advance and occupy a greater weight in the project.

"I don't know, there are too many difficulties to face in this experiment, if you can get the WEGA stellar simulator that has been eliminated from the Max Planck Institute of Physics, then the chances of success will be greater."

The plasma temperature of the prototype in the laboratory, which cost more than 100 million dollars, can only reach about 980,000 degrees Celsius, which has not yet reached the detection temperature limit in theoretical calculations.

Lu Yi didn't feel a pity for this, which big guy didn't burn money from a rookie, compared to other big guys, Lu Yi was more confident in Zhang Qing, and he felt that the money was well spent.

The most intuitive manifestation is the completion of the design and assembly of the prototype, Zhang Qing has been successfully promoted from an expert in the study of space gravitational waves to an expert in nuclear physics and plasma-related physics.

If the WEGA stellar simulator can be obtained, not only will the success rate of the experiment be more guaranteed, but Zhang Qing's research in nuclear physics and plasma will also be deeper, so Lu Yi has asked Li Yashan to negotiate with the Max Planck Institute of Physics to see if Zhang Qing can go over to visit and study for a while.

"WEGA stellarator? Lu boy, let's not talk about whether there is this connection to get this thing, do you know the money you bought alone? ”

The dean felt that Lu Yi was whimsical, not to mention whether people were willing to sell it, even if they were willing to sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, don't think about it.

"I don't bother you about this, Lord Dean, I have prepared $1 billion for this experimental project, and I plan to spend it within a year, if the experiment is really hopeful, then the investment of funds can continue to be raised."

"A billion dollars a year? Are you building an incinerator in your lab to burn money directly? ”

The dean was shocked, he didn't know how much money had been invested in the EAST controlled fusion project in China for so many years, but he knew that it definitely did not exceed $1 billion.

After all, the main research of domestic EAST is tokmak, compared with precious babies like stellarstellar, the cost of studying tokmak is not so terrifying, and there will not be a situation where a tokmak device will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of euros.

"The laboratory prototype was built 35 days after completion, a total of 289 experiments were started, and the damage caused by the experiment to the components was nearly 20 million US dollars, and the subsequent increase in the temperature of the experiment will be exponentially increased, and the 1 billion US dollars may be burned out in less than one year in the plan."

Lu Yi briefly talked about the experimental situation, compared with the real stellar simulator research and the tokmak research, after each start of the experiment, the data will be summarized and the experimental device will be improved, and the second experiment will be carried out.

The main function of the prototype in Lu Yi's laboratory is to collect data, and it does not need to be analyzed and improved before it is restarted, so it is started very frequently.

On the one hand, it is launched 7 to 8 times a day, and on the other hand, the average interval between each start experiment is more than two days, and in terms of the speed of burning money, the prototype of Lu Yi's laboratory is more terrifying than any stellar simulator in the world.

"Lu boy."

The dean was silent for a long time before he said, "I think you should visit the professors of the School of Medicine when you return to the school after the year, Professor Chen of the School of Medicine is among the top in China in terms of psychology and neurology. ”

“......”

Lu Yi almost didn't scold, took a deep breath and endured it before he continued: "Dean, I will take Lin Meng to Beijing after the New Year, and I will come back about a week after the start of school, so that Professor Lin will not report on the opening of the school." ”

I told Lin Meng and the others that he would not go back to the laboratory so soon after the New Year, and he would take his sister to Beijing.

Then somehow, the next day, Professor Lin, Zhang Qing, and Li Yashan asked to be together as an appointment, so now Lu Yi said it in advance.

After all, Professor Lin is a full-time professor at the school, and he needs to report on the opening of the school in accordance with the regulations.

"Why are you taking Professor Lin to Beijing?"

Hearing that the sensitive nerve of taking Lin Meng to Beijing to Dean Yao jumped, there were two colleges and universities that had been extending an olive branch and wanted to poach people.

"Travel, dean, don't worry, at this point, I am firmly on the side of the school, and I will definitely bring Lin Meng back safely."

Lu Yi heard what the dean was worried about, and assured in an affirmative tone.

Just kidding, what would Professor Lin do if he was poached? Really let him fly north as a southern bird? That's going to freeze to death.

So on this trip, Lu Yi decided to take Professor Lin closely, and by the way, he considered whether to poach a few people from Qing University and Peking University, after all, the biology major there is still very good.

After reporting the matter of taking Professor Lin to Lang, Lu Yi handed over the rest of the matters to the school to deal with, and then hung up the phone.

Before making the results, he didn't want to contact the above so quickly, he didn't want to contact the above for a later cooperation project, and share the scientific research funds that he originally fed Zhang Qing and Lin Meng.

The results are the right to speak, and when the results are really researched, then no one will dare to think about fighting the autumn wind, and they can even apply for a generous financial subsidy from above.

Throw the pot to the school, and the school is also happy to carry this pot, and Lu Yi has been at home for the next few days.

The family went shopping to buy New Year's goods, tutored her sister's homework, chatted with Professor Lin from time to time, and spent the rest of the time to study under the guidance of the system.

This year's class reunion is a bit much, elementary school, junior high school, high school, etc. came in succession, except for one or two ordinary gatherings that everyone is more familiar with, and Lu Yi pushed away the rest of the large group of people.

I don't have the heart to pretend to be forced, and I don't want to embarrass everyone after refusing to borrow money.

"Brother, hang this lantern to the left a little, yes, go a little further, it's okay!"

Chinese New Year's Eve, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is not considered beautiful, there has been a light rain outside, Lu's father and Lu's mother are busy in the kitchen for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Lu Yi's brothers and sisters are responsible for hanging red lanterns and pasting couplets.

Under the command of his sister, Lu Yi, who was standing on the stool, finally hung up the lantern, and then went into the house and took out a couplet.

"Brother, which is the upper link and which is the lower link?"

The little princess Lu Ying held a bottle of paste on the wall, and asked with some curiosity when she saw a couplet in Lu Yi's hand.

"The beginning of the spring word is Shanglian, where is the philology!"

Lu Yi reprimanded, carefully put the lower couplet aside, and then took the upper end of the couplet to align the traces left by the pastes in previous years, and pasted them down the wall that had been stained with paste.

"The school doesn't teach this now, don't think I don't know that you see that the couplets are also taught by my father." The little princess snorted, picked up the next couplet, and tiptoed to the wall on the other side of the door.

After pasting the couplets and horizontal batches on the gate, Lu Yi picked up Lu's father's car keys and drove the two brothers and sisters to their hometown to paste the couplets.

After the hometown couplet was pasted and a string of firecrackers was set off at the gate, the task of the brothers and sisters in the Chinese New Year's Eve this year was completed.

When I went home, the brothers and sisters lined up to take a bath, the time was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu's father and Lu's mother were busy for a long time, and the stuffed tofu and pork belly chicken soup that took the lead in bringing out the table exuded a strong fragrance, and the sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time outside the window, which meant that Chinese New Year's Eve meal time had officially arrived......
