Chapter 569: Breaking Ground
Later, He Ying asked a lot of questions for the audience, and Lu Zhou also answered them one by one.
Including about how controlled fusion technology will affect the lives of ordinary people.
Including the possible positive impact on the national economy with the breakthrough of energy technology.
Including his own plans for the next step......
Of course, as for the specific technical level, Lu Zhou naturally won't say it.
After the program is recorded, before the official broadcast, someone will edit the content of the program and subtract those problematic areas from the official broadcast screen.
Of course, there will be professionals in charge of these things, so there is no need for Lu Zhou to worry about it.
In the second half of the show, in the interactive session of the audience, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old walked on the stage with a large bouquet of Kang milkshake and walked next to Lu Zhou.
Blinking at Lu Zhou with big bright eyes, the little girl handed out the bouquet in her hand.
"The teacher told us that if we put the Kang shake on the vase on the bedside table, the cold would get better a little faster. Grandpa said that you have helped many, many people with your knowledge, and I hope you can get better soon. Also, I want to be a great scientist like you in the future......"
It's not easy to say so many words in one breath, especially with such a big bouquet of flowers in your hand.
After finishing the sentence, Xiao Luo. Li, took a deep breath, it looked so cute, it couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you Kang Shake!"
Smiled and took the bouquet from her hand, although he knew that most of this link was arranged, Lu Zhou still smiled and sent her sincere thanks, "Just smelling this floral fragrance, I feel that I have almost recovered." Don't forget to say thank you to your teacher for me. ”
With a flushed face, the little girl nodded vigorously, then turned around and ran off the stage with a clatter.
The audience burst into applause.
Under the applause, the show also came to an end.
I moved from the studio to the next lounge.
After expressing her gratitude to Lu Zhou on behalf of the program team, He Ying continued with a smile.
"Is Professor Lu free for a while?"
Lu Zhou: "What's the matter?" ”
He Ying smiled implicitly: "It's nothing special, I just want to invite you to a meal or something." ”
"If you want to eat, let's do it another day, I'm afraid that before I am discharged from the hospital, Dr. Yan will not allow me to go out and eat casually," Lu Zhou said with a smile.
Yan Yan, who was standing behind him, didn't speak, but obviously acquiesced to this.
Although she has no right to do what Lu Zhou wants, as his full-time doctor, it is also one of her responsibilities to repeatedly nag about his health.
Although there were some regrets, He Ying still said with a smile.
"Okay then, let's do it another day."
After coming out of the TV station, Lu Zhou got into the car at the door, and unexpectedly found that the driver had changed from the guard on duty in the west courtyard of the 301 Hospital to Wang Peng, who had not appeared for nearly three days.
Sitting firmly in the back of the driver's seat, looking at the familiar face in the car mirror, Lu Zhou smiled and teased: "I thought you were going home for the New Year." ”
Regarding Lu Zhou's ridicule, Wang Peng made a helpless expression.
"What a year will it be, I'm afraid the year-end bonus will be gone."
Not to mention the year-end bonus.
If you haven't made meritorious service before, it's light to remember a major demerit.
The most he has done in the past few days is probably to be trained.
"The year-end bonus is gone? For-" As soon as he was halfway through his words, Lu Zhou suddenly reacted, and suddenly coughed a little embarrassedly, "Well, it won't be because of me......"
Wang Peng smiled awkwardly and did not speak.
This question can only be understood, and if you want to answer it, it is really difficult to answer.
Of course, although it was because Lu Zhou was punished, he didn't have any complaints in his heart, but he was a little unhappy about Lu Zhou. After all, it was his duty to protect Lu Zhou's safety, but judging from the results, he was obviously derelict in his duties.
However, although Wang Peng was willing to be punished, Lu Zhou, who knew the truth of the matter, was a little reluctant in his heart. After all, he didn't fall into a coma because someone poisoned him or something like malnutrition, it was purely because he was escalating too quickly, and his brain didn't withstand the load that followed......
After thinking about it, Lu Zhou decided to do something to make up for it, so he spoke.
“…… In this case, I will help you write a letter and explain the situation to your leader. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Peng suddenly became anxious: "Don't, don't do this,"
Lu Zhou said solemnly: "No, I really can't blame you for this matter, the main thing is that I didn't pay attention to my body-"
At this moment, Yan Yan, who had not spoken, spoke.
"His department has the discipline of his department, and if one thing is wrong, it is wrong, and there is nothing to argue...... If you really help him write letters, not only will you not help him, but it will make him embarrassed. ”
In this matter, she was also punished.
The reason why she was not replaced was only because of the report from the hospital, and there was no direct evidence to prove that his cause was related to human factors.
And this is also the reason why Wang Peng can return to his post and make up for his mistakes.
Even if her father is an old comrade-in-arms of the staff officer, there is no emotion to talk about the punishment.
And she never had the idea of asking Lu Zhou to help intercede.
Hearing Yan Yan say this, Lu Zhou was vaguely aware of their difficulties, so he dispelled the idea of writing a letter to intercede and help them revoke the punishment.
Although I still have some regrets in my heart, this matter has passed.
At most, if I have the opportunity in the future, I can compensate them from other places......
Back at the 301 Hospital, Lu Zhou was about to go upstairs to do today's routine checkup. However, when he walked towards the main building, he happened to find Academician Wang, waiting at the door of the hospital building.
Seeing Lu Zhou coming back from outside, Academician Wang's eyes lit up and he walked over with a smile.
"How? Feeling better? ”
"It feels so much better." Looking at Academician Wang, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's about to be the Chinese New Year's Eve, don't you want to go home for the New Year?" ”
"I'm local, where am I going back? Take the subway to your home. Looking at Lu Zhou, who was already able to walk on his own, Academician Wang nodded with relief in his heart, "You are fine, and I am relieved." You don't know how many people died in a hurry some time ago. ”
Hearing this complaint, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry." ”
"If you can't say it, don't say it, if you want to say it, we should say it," Academician Wang sighed, "The research of controlled fusion is indeed not an easy task, especially the coordination of the work of various departments, which is particularly difficult." Originally, these burdens were all pressed on you alone, and several key problems were solved by you personally, to be honest...... Lao Li and I from the Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were very reluctant to go. ”
"Those who can work hard, it's nothing," Lu Zhou smiled and said unconcernedly, "And now I'm not good?" ”
Academician Wang sighed: "You can think like this, I feel a little better." By the way, there's one more thing I need to tell you about. During the time you were unconscious, we tried to ignite a few more times, and by all accounts, the STAR-2 demonstration reactor worked quite perfectly. The Great Elder personally made instructions and planned to officially implement grid connection after the New Year and supply power to 80 million residents in Suzhou Province! ”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Officially connected to the grid?" That's a good thing! ”
Academician Wang smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed a great thing, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would really be able to see this day." But before that, I have to trouble you with one more thing. ”
Lu Zhou frowned: "Is there something wrong with the demonstration pile?" ”
Unlikely, huh?
Even the system recognized that he had succeeded in ignition.
"It's not that there is a problem with the demonstration pile," Seeing Lu Zhou's solemn expression, Academician Wang hurriedly explained, "It's just that when the time comes, you can't continue to call it by code name, right?" After all, it was the world's first fusion reactor, and it meant that it wanted to ask for our opinion. I'm not interested in choosing a name, the chief designer's opinion is my opinion,"
Speaking of this, Academician Wang smiled and said, "Do you want to give this reactor a beautiful name?" I really can't think of it, you can use your own name, this is a good opportunity to leave a name in history. ”
"Forget about my name, it sounds weird," Lu Zhou said with a dry cough, "I'll think about it again." ”
Academician Wang: "Okay, you think about it first, I actually have a few options on my side, you can refer to it." ”
Lu Zhou: "What is the alternative?" ”
"What Houyi, Jin Crow, Fire Stealer, Suiren and the like, what Prometheus is international. It's all voted for by everyone in the base, so let's see which one is more suitable. ”
Lu Zhou thought for a long time, and finally spoke.
“…… It's called Pangu. ”
Academician Wang: "Pangu? ”
"Hmm." Lu Zhou nodded and confirmed.
The name, he had actually been thinking about for a while.
With the unlocking of controlled fusion technology, it is not just the energy itself that will change, but the future of the entire world.
In this sense, the birth of this demonstration pile can indeed be called groundbreaking.
"If you think it's a good name, then it's good," Academician Wang continued, smiling, "Okay, I won't stay here any longer, I'll report the name when I get back." You have a good rest here and strive for a speedy recovery. Everyone at the demonstration base is looking forward to your discharge. The ignition has been successful until now, the celebration banquet and commendation meeting have not been held, we have been looking forward to it for a year, isn't this the moment we are waiting for? ”
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"Well, I promise, I won't keep you waiting too long."
