It is difficult to set up a laboratory of this scale.

But for Pang Xuelin, if he can really set up such a laboratory, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to realize his ambitions in the field of science and technology in the future.

After all, whether it is the electromagnetic orbit space launch system or the Star Ring aerospace aircraft, it is a large system project that requires a large research team.

Relying solely on Jiangda's resources is far from enough.

Such a high-standard national laboratory will be the best carrier for the realization of the electromagnetic orbital space launch system and the Star Ring space aircraft.

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Dean Xu, I have no problem with me coming forward to set up the national laboratory, but how to solve the problem of funding?" After all, the annual operating expenses of such a laboratory are considerable. ”

At this time, Lu Wenlin, who had not spoken before, spoke up: "Professor Pang, please rest assured that the laboratory will be jointly funded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education and Jiangnan Province every year, and we can ensure that the per capita scientific research funding is not less than one million yuan." For the rest, if your laboratory carries out some major scientific projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood, we will also provide targeted project funds. In addition, you can manage the benefits of your lab's research outputs, whether it's for raising the salaries of lab employees or continuing to work on projects. Of course, the annual expenditure and income of the laboratory will be audited by the higher authorities to prevent the emergence of academic FǔBài. ”

Pang Xuelin nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Can this laboratory accept personal investment?" ”

Vice Minister Liu Yangzhou of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology smiled: "What, Professor Pang, you want to invest?" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled: "I have this idea, but if I want to invest, I may have to wait until after June." ”

Liu Yangzhou said with a smile: "Professor Pang, this is not in a hurry, now the laboratory can enter the preliminary preparation stage, including the laboratory site selection, organizational structure, establishment of rules and regulations and the preparation of development plans, etc., the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Education and Jiangnan Province will send people to help prepare, you only need to be responsible for the overall situation." ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Okay, in this case, I personally have no problem." ”

Next, Pang Xuelin chatted with Xu Zejun, Liu Yangzhou, and Lv Wenlin about the overall construction of the laboratory, and said that after going back, they would give an overall development plan for the laboratory as soon as possible, and they ended this small meeting.

The next morning, Pang Xuelin took a plane back to Jiangcheng.

In the following month, Pang Xuelin spent time again in a busy situation.

He first met with the leaders of Jiangnan Province and Jiangcheng City to implement some specific planning issues of the national laboratory.

For such a top-level laboratory to settle in Jiangcheng, the leaders of Jiangnan Province and Jiangcheng City naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In order to show their support for Pang Xuelin and the national laboratory, they planned a phase of 20 hectares of land in the east of Jiangcheng, near the Qiantang River, for the construction of the laboratory, and in the long term, more than 100 hectares.

After discussion, the name of this laboratory was officially named Qiantang Laboratory.

The overall research direction of the laboratory has been planned by Pang Xuelin, and has been preliminarily determined in the fields of chemical engineering, high-tech materials, electronic technology, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, and mechanical engineering.

As for whether it will extend to biomedicine, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, particle physics and other fields in the future, it depends on what kind of gains Pang Xuelin will have in the world he experiences next.

Time passed.

The Spring Festival is coming unexpectedly again.

This year's Spring Festival is relatively late, and it will not be until February 11 until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Pang Xuelin and his parents came to the small courtyard where his grandparents lived, and the family of five had a happy reunion dinner.

However, after the New Year, Pang Xuelin's life was not very peaceful.

Leaders of provincial, municipal and local governments have come to visit them, and Pang Xuelin can only cheer up to deal with it.

After all, the construction of the Qiantang laboratory will take a lot of time to deal with the local government.

During the Spring Festival, there is another good news.

The journal Nature published a paper on the preparation of large-size single-layer graphene materials by the Jiangda Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center, which once again attracted the attention of the academic community.

Pang Xuelin didn't care much, his attention was on the research and development of lithium-air batteries.

At present, the research and development of lithium-air batteries is progressing quite smoothly, whether it is an aqueous gel electrolyte, an organic solvent electrolyte, or a lithium metal anode material coated with graphene, the research and development is nearing completion.

The next step is to formulate the whole process assembly process of the lithium-air battery and carry out packaging and testing.

It is expected that the R&D work will be completed by April at the latest.

That night, as soon as Pang Xuelin returned to the apartment from the laboratory, he heard the voice of the system that had not been heard for a long time: "Host, please note that the new plane "Ninth Zone" will be opened in half an hour, please prepare accordingly for the host." ”

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, and then suddenly it was suddenly five months since the last crossing.

However, this time the world traveled through was "District 9", which made Pang Xuelin breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to continue to spin around in Da Liu's universe.

Pang Xuelin had watched the movie "District 9" a long time ago, and after getting the system, he watched it again to deepen his impression.

The film mainly tells the story of 1990, a huge spaceship appeared over the earth, and people were terrified but curious. After a period of intense waiting, the alien spacecraft never moved. Humans finally cautiously approached it and forced their way into the capsule, only to discover countless aliens. They described it as ugly, like shrimp, and in very poor health, weak and weak. It turned out to be a group of alien refugees who were eventually accepted by the earthlings and isolated in an area of Johannesburg, South Africa, known as "District 9".

After 20 years of reproduction, the number of alien refugees has expanded to as many as 1.8 million, and there are constant conflicts with surrounding humans, and more and more humans are calling for the "prawns" to be driven out of the earth.

The MNU (League of Nations) has negotiated and decided to relocate alien refugees to more remote areas.

Agent Wikus of the MNU's Extraterrestrial Affairs Unit is in charge of the relocation. Wikus was arrogant and haphazard during the mobilization process, and clashed frequently with the local population. Eventually, he pays the price for his actions, and the mysterious fluid of the aliens infects him, and Wikus slowly transforms into an alien......

After being infected, Wiscu began to be regarded as an outlier by his family and colleagues, and even his wife, who loved him the most, resolutely disowned him.

At the same time, MNU found out that after the male protagonist was infected, he could use alien weapons.

So they tried to catch Wiscu and do research.

Wiscu had to hide in Sector 9 and was accepted by the alien shrimp people.

At the end of the episode, Wiscu resolutely burrows into the alien mech and helps his two shrimp men escape from Earth.

And himself, along with the rest of his fellow shrimp people, was driven by humans to the 10th District, where the living conditions were even worse.

……

Although the performance of humans in this movie is more vicious and terrifying than the terrifying alien shrimp man.

But Pang Xuelin didn't have the idea of standing in the position of aliens.

He knows very well that if the human situation is reversed with that of aliens, the ending of humanity may not be much better than that of the shrimp people in the movie.

This is determined by a purely racial position, not by human will.

The film only uses such a premise to expose human nature and promote anti-racist positions.

If Pang Xuelin really sympathizes with the shrimp man in the movie, he probably doesn't know how he died.

It's just that Pang Xuelin is curious, in such a movie, what kind of task will the system give him?

After pondering for a moment, Pang Xuelin said, "Zhizi, please reply when you hear it." ”

Soon, a two-dimensional unfolded screen appeared in front of Pang Xuelin, and Tomoko's personal image appeared on it.

Zhizi smiled lightly: "Professor Pang, Happy New Year, do you miss me?" I'm still going through the formalities here, and I have to wait another two weeks before I can go to Jiangcheng! ”

Pang Xuelin said: "I'm about to go to a new world, I need your help, and I will take you back to the system space later." ”

Zhizi was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face became formal: "Professor Pang, wait a minute, my little lover and I are shopping, I'll talk to her, and then find a secluded place, and you can take me back to the system space." ”

Pang Xuelin rolled his eyes and ignored Zhizi's ridicule.

Qi Xin did not return to China during the Chinese New Year this year, and the two could only keep in touch through video calls and WeChat chats.

Although Pang Xuelin felt guilty, he also knew that this situation might not be able to change in a short period of time.

I can only wait for her to return to China and then compensate her.

Ten minutes later, Zhizi said goodbye to Qi Xin under the pretext that something was wrong, and then asked Pang Xuelin to take her back directly to the system space in a secluded corner.

Twenty minutes later, Pang Xue was lying on the bed, and the voice of the system sounded in his head on time.

"The Dark Forest Plane will open in ten seconds, please be ready, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one......"

……

Pang Xuelin opened his eyes suddenly, and what greeted him was a dark house

The room was messy, littered, the walls were made of that very simple foam material, and the room was littered with flies and the faint smell of excrement.

Pang Xuelin's face changed slightly, did he become a shrimp man?

He hurriedly looked at his hands and limbs, then looked for a mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror, Pang Xuelin breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I am still human.

Just, what's going on in this situation right now?

Couldn't he become a slum youth?

In the next second, Pang Xuelin only felt as if a warm current had been injected into his mind, and then, the explanation of all the current situations suddenly came into Pang Xuelin's mind.

"!"

After digesting the memories injected into his mind by the system, Pang Xuelin couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

This world is indeed the world depicted in the "District 9" movie.

However, the era in which Pang Xuelin lives is twenty years after the story of the movie, that is, in 2030.

Today's earth is the world of shrimp people!

Twenty years ago, the protagonist of the movie, Wiscu, assisted two shrimp people to escape from the earth, directly changing the history of human civilization.

Fifteen years ago, a super warship with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers crossed the vast space and appeared above the earth.

The battleship was followed by a well-armed shrimp man army of more than a million men.

The human army was powerless in the face of the shrimp people, and the war lasted less than a week before it ended.

However, those shrimp people did not mean to completely exterminate humans, they gave humans two choices.

Or, accept their transformation and transform yourself into a shrimp man.

Or, immigrate to Australia, and Australia will exist as a reserve area of human civilization.

In the beginning, no one wanted to transform themselves into disgusting-looking, weird-looking shrimp people.

But as more and more humans were sent to Australia, soon, there was a shortage of food, infectious diseases were raging, and the living environment of human beings in Australia deteriorated greatly.

In the face of death, more and more humans are deciding to accept the transformation of the shrimp people.

Now, fifteen years have passed, and the earth has completely become the world of shrimp people, 99.99% of which are transformed by humans.

There are less than 50 million humans left in Australia.

Human civilization has become a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.

The Viscu, who had been terrified by humans back then, has become the leader of the shrimp people of the earth.

Even the reserved area, which is now nominally part of human civilization, has become the world of shrimp people.

Those who once belonged to human beings and chose to take the initiative to transform the shrimp people on the earth, when facing their former human compatriots, their methods are even more cruel than the shrimp people in the real sense.

They moved humans to the unsuitable Gobi steppe in central Australia, dividing one settlement after another.

Humans have to work non-stop in the settlements every day in exchange for water and food that barely survives.

Every day, the number of people in the envelope decreases.

Either starve to death or die of disease, or choose to break away from the human identity that once held onto and transform yourself into a shrimp man.

……

After having a deeper understanding of this era, Pang Xuelin took a deep breath and began to look at the tasks assigned to him by the system.

Plane: Sector 9

Identity: Pang Xuelin, a slum human.

Mission: Help human civilization defeat the shrimp people and regain control of the planet.

Rewards:

1. One serving of genetic medicine can greatly improve physical fitness, increase life expectancy, and delay aging.

Second, the host has a chance to return to the world it has experienced.

“……”

Pang Xuelin looked at the system task with a strange face, and wanted to say something about MMP.

Although the rewards are very tempting, in today's situation, helping human civilization defeat the shrimp people and regain control of the planet is almost an impossible task.
