Under the guidance of Goethe Elder, Yuan began to visit his laboratory.

The elder Goethe introduced the equipment and instruments in the laboratory to Yuan Haochen as if he were a treasure.

These devices include:

quantum computers;

high-speed digital signal processing computer;

projection electron microscopy;

positron emission tomography;

computer graphics, digital signal processing;

Measuring instruments for overweight elements, radioisotopes and heavy ions;

small nuclear reactors;

synchrotron radiation light source, strong field nuclear magnetic resonance instrument;

miniature high-precision positron collider;

A large number of top-notch instruments and equipment such as microcyclotrons.

"Do you have any of these devices in every scientist's lab?" Yuan Haochen asked in surprise after a cursory inspection of the equipment.

"Yes, Mr. Yuan Chen, these experimental equipment are the basic experimental equipment of every scientist."

"By the way, how many scientists are there in the special projects team?" Yuan Haochen continued to ask.

"Because of the strict requirements of the special project team, the number of scientists in the special project team is the smallest among the 11 groups in the Institute of Astrophysics, with only about 30 scientists." Goethe the Elder replied slowly.

"These are just the exclusive instruments and equipment in your laboratory, and the special projects team also has a public super laboratory, which you can refer to this list."

"Thank you, Mr. Goethe." Yuan Haochen took the list handed over by the old Goethe.

The list details the experimental equipment of the special project team, as well as the super-laboratory of the Institute of Astrophysics, and the relevant application specifications for its use.

The scientific research equipment in the super laboratory includes:

coronal detectors;

gravitational wave detectors (capable of delving into the origins of the universe and potentially unraveling the mysteries of space-time);

high-power lidar systems;

a 20 billion electron volt synchrotron;

100 billion electron volt proton synchrotron, etc.;

a new proton synchrotron with a circumference of about 10,000 meters (this device belongs to the super-laboratory of the Institute of Astrophysics, in the core area of the base);

the Super Giant Hadron Collider;

Cross-Storage Ring (ISR);

superproton synchrotron (SPS);

Hydrogen bubble chamber (BEBL);

Super superconducting acceleration equipment;

cosmic microwave background radiation detector;

In addition, there are astronomical observatories with direct access to the ground in the core area of the base, such as: Gamma ray observatory, infrared space observatory, space monitoring observatory, X-ray observatory, solar dynamics observatory, etc.

Of course, the IEA organization also has an independent space station, as well as top space telescopes, such as: ultra-high energy gamma-ray space test telescope (EGRET), nuclear spectral array space telescope, super spectral survey space telescope, etc., with the ability to study the large-scale structure of the universe, the structure of the Milky Way, dark energy and explore the origin of the universe.

After a general understanding, Yuan Haochen was deeply shocked by the scientific research strength of the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance), and what he now knows is only the general scientific research strength of the Institute of Astrophysics. It is believed that the scientific research strength of the Academy of Space Science, the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Nuclear Power, and the Institute of Biology and Biochemistry is absolutely no less than that of the Institute of Astrophysics.

And these are just the scientific strength of the IEA Pacific Base, if you add the IEA's mysterious headquarters, IEA Indian Ocean Base, IEA Atlantic Base, and IEA's many public subordinate scientific research institutions in the world, this is definitely an unparalleled scientific and technological force on the earth!

When he didn't know about the IEA, he once thought that NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was the top aerospace agency on the earth, but only now did he realize that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well.

If the scientific and technological strength of the United States aerospace is 30-50 years ahead of China (the Americans landed on the moon in 1969, and the Chinese did not land on the moon until 2020), then the scientific and technological strength of the IEA Interstellar Exploration Alliance is at least 30-50 years ahead of NASA.

"It seems that joining the IEA Interstellar Exploration Alliance is really the right choice, and only here can you most likely realize your dream of exploring the vast universe." Yuan Haochen sighed secretly.

"Dear Mr. Yuan Chen, can I do anything else for you?" Old Goethe's voice sounded again, interrupting Yuan's musings.

"Oh, nothing else for now. I'd like to go back to the office and sort out my personal belongings. ”

"Okay, Mr. Hara."

"By the way, Goethe, we will be partners in the future, you call me Hao Chen directly, I will call you Goethe, what do you think of this idea?"

"Yes, sir, you are so kind."

"I'm sure our youngest and oldest duo will be happy to work together." Yuan smiled and patted old Goethe's thin shoulder.

Back in his office, after Yuan Haochen tidied up a little, he planned to walk around and slowly familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

As soon as Yuan Haochen stepped out of the office, he was greeted by a medium-sized man with long brown hair, about 30 years old.

"Hello, I'm a new member, my name is Yuan Haochen, it's a pleasure to meet you." When the two were about to take the shoulder, Yuan Haochen took the initiative to greet him.

"Oh, hello, I'm Durunik." The long-haired brown man stopped and continued, "John's office is finally a newcomer, which project team are you from?" ”

"Oh, I'm a new member of the IEA's science group." Yuan Haochen replied.

"It's incredible, a complete newcomer!" Durunik couldn't help but look Yuan Haochen up and down.

In general, the people who can join the special project team are scientists who have worked in other project teams for many years and have a certain level of strength.

In addition, there are cases where the IEA directly recruits scientists with outstanding scientific and technological contributions from the outside world.

But a rookie newcomer like Yuan Haochen is indeed very rare.

"Tell me, young man, what made the incredibly mean Frank make this incredible decision."

"I don't know much about this," Yuan Haochen himself was still confused, so he had to wave his hand and replied helplessly.

"It's funny, it looks like you must have an unusual story behind you." Durunik said with interest.

"Perhaps, it's a pleasure to meet you, Durunik, please take care of me in the future."

"Yuan~Hao Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." It seems that the pronunciation of the word "original" also caused trouble for Durunik.

"My office is next door to you, you are always welcome to come over, and we will see you tomorrow for the discussion".

"It seems that I was lucky to have met a neighbor with a nice personality." Yuan Haochen thought to himself, "I hope that the other scientists in the special project team will also get along as well as Trunik." “
