The heads of several university departments came, and the researchers who were able to withdraw from the laboratory also came, and only a few scientists who were experimenting with key links could not put down their work at hand for the time being, and did not participate.

Hundreds of people gathered in the multi-functional conference room on the 70th floor of the Infinity Company Center Building, and sat in a circle.

They were all discussing what the boss was going to do for the meeting. Soon, they agreed that the company would launch a large-scale collaborative study.

As for the specific focus of the project, there are different opinions. The biology and chemistry departments speculate whether it will have something to do with the cracking of the international gene map, and judging from the company's convening of computer, optoelectronic laboratories and other departments, it is very likely that they will give technical support in biochemistry.

Originally, mechanical automation was also a cutting-edge discipline, but Chen Weidong did not call them, indicating that it should not be an automated robot.

The optoelectronic laboratory believes that it may be a practical breakthrough in face and image recognition. Otherwise, it will not require the strong cooperation of the computer department.

After all, now that smartphones are becoming popular, these are future trends and research directions. In addition, image recognition technology is of practical significance for many disciplines such as national defense, medicine, and geological exploration.

Chen Weidong, Lin Zeju and others, when they walked into the venue, they were arguing with each other, and when they saw several senior executives of the company coming in, they gradually quieted down.

This large conference room is very much like the meeting room of the United Nations Security Council. The center of the conference room is recessed, and the stairs are raised one by one, and the conference table is layered one by one, like a concentric circle, surrounding the central venue, and there are several passages in the middle for the conference personnel to enter and exit.

In the innermost circle, at an elliptical conference table, sit the heads of several disciplines, as well as the main academic leaders under their branches.

The rest of the participants sat behind them, fan-shaped. Chen Weidong walked slowly from the outer layer, shaking hands with each researcher as he walked, and said a few words briefly.

Many of these researchers he couldn't name. Since its establishment, Infinity has developed too fast, and the number of researchers has swelled from a few hundred to more than 6,000 now, making it the largest private research institution in China.

He patiently asked these new researchers, when they joined the company, what aspects of work they were mainly responsible for, whether they were used to it, and whether there were any problems that needed to be improved.

Despite his young age, as soon as he walked around, the researchers rushed over to shake his hand.

Chen Weidong represents not only a name, a symbol, but a legend. After being busy for a long time, Chen Weidong came to the middle of the conference room, he did not rush to sit down, but touched the upholstered seat of the sofa, and said with a smile: "The company building has been built for a long time, but I have not been to every floor, and it is the first time I have come here. The crowd laughed good-naturedly.

Chen Weidong has never been here, even most of the places in the Infinity Company Park, he has only seen it a few times, and there are many places he has not been to on the 99th floor of the entire office building.

"Okay, to get down to business, today I invite you to take time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting, because I want to discuss with you about the key projects for the future development of the company." Chen Weidong stood in front of him like this, looked around, and spoke: "Of course, in fact, every discipline is equally important, there is no distinction between high and low, but this refers to the field of pure science. ”

"In the business field, in the application field, there are some projects that are very important, so in terms of practicality, they will be relatively stronger." He is telling the truth, and the researchers here also understand that although some disciplines feel aggrieved, they have to admit that this is the truth.

Take materials science as an example, it belongs to the relatively low-level research project, is the kind of discipline with large investment cost and small short-term returns, and its research results are directly provided support for optoelectronics, computer and other departments.

The same is true for subjects such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Often, people see the actual product, so they only see the results of these direct research departments, and ignore the efforts of these underlying researchers.

There are many products that simply can't get out of the lab and serve the public. Therefore, Infinity rewards researchers in these disciplines according to the degree of project contribution.

This shows that the company has affirmed the results of their research and has not forgotten them, assisting researchers in other disciplines and working quietly.

Now hearing Chen Weidong say that this is a comprehensive project involving space vehicles, thermal dynamics, and mechanical science, the researchers in the materials laboratory are extremely excited.

Sure enough, is the company finally going to enter the space industry? Last year, they learned that the company had built a rocket launch base in the west of Nanshan District, near DaChan Island.

The launch of the rocket is inevitably inseparable from the support of their materials discipline. For example, what kind of materials can be selected to make the rocket combustion chamber withstand enough high temperature, and the thick-walled high thermal conductivity and ablative heat-absorbing materials of the engine shell are all very worthy of research.

Chen Weidong continued: "I will ask the photonic computer project team to cooperate with you and organize a group of researchers to do basic theoretical sorting out the structure, function, and launch technology of the rocket. ”

"Only when the theoretical technology is mature can it be possible to carry out the actual trial production work." Unlike a few years ago, the researchers in the photonic computer project team are now full of spirit and high spirits.

Although they made out the photonic chips, far from the real

There are still some gaps in the "light brain", but it surpasses modern electronic computers, and the computing speed of seven or eight hundred times is definitely unique in the world.

At least, they were the ones who made the prototype of the world's first photonic computer. Without this prototype, the so-called photonic computer is just an empty word.

Seeing the successful development of the first supercomputer built by photonic chips, all the project team members couldn't help but burst into tears.

Over the years, they have been too bitter. Enduring the resentment and white eyes of other researchers in the company, and bearing the infamy of wasting a lot of the company's resources, everyone is extremely low-key and depressed.

Until the successful development of the prototype, they can finally proudly announce to other departments: "We, only us, can make such a photonic computer, breaking through the pinnacle of modern science and technology industry!" Chen Weidong looked at the research members of the project team who came to the meeting, with a relaxed look on his face and a smile.

The foundation for the rapid development of modern science and technology lies in the rapid development of the computer industry. The research results obtained by using computer processing will in turn promote the further upgrading of computers.

Between the two, it can be said that there is mutual cause and effect. Photonic computer will be a booster for Infinity to take off!

Now with it, it is only a matter of time before all the research progress will climb geometrically upwards and infinity companies lead the world!

Everyone understands what direction Chen Weidong is going to put his energy into. According to his plan, this project is a large, continuous and long-term project, and it will take arduous and lengthy research and development experiments to be fully realized.

Rocket launch is just the first step! Later, there will be rocket recovery, spacecraft launches, low-earth orbit operation of manned spacecraft, remote-controlled lunar exploration tests, and the establishment of a permanent space station in far-earth orbit.

And finally, it's a manned landing on the moon! During this period, it is necessary to solve the development and development of countless lunar landing equipment such as large-capacity rockets, spacecraft, life-sustaining equipment, space shuttles, space station design, flying to the moon and landing on the moon and leaving the moon.

You must know that it is only 2005, and many of these scientific research projects have never been involved in Huaxia.

Outer space technology, for example, requires long-term technical reserves. It is no wonder that Chen Weidong will convene so many subject researchers and ask various departments to work together.

Landing on the moon! The dream of countless scientific researchers in China! Although preparations for China's manned lunar landing program began as early as 1991, progress has been extremely slow over the years.

There are still many difficulties to be solved in unmanned lunar exploration. In many people's memories, Huaxia seems to have completed the moon landing very early, but in fact it was not.

In 03, Shenzhou 5 only sent Yang Liwei into space orbit and successfully circled 14 times.

There is still a long way to go to the moon in real landing. PS: We only used an unmanned lunar probe to land on the moon in 2013.

As for the manned landing on the moon, as of 2023, it has still not been realized.....
