Science and Technology Sector.

Mr. Xu was facing the computer and looked at the submitted documents, one of which was marked in red, which represented the key content.

Academician Deng Huaizhen, who is a science and technology consultant hired by the science and technology department, is also in the office.

He sat across from Mr. Xu.

When there is any problem about the science project, Mr. Xu will consult Deng Huaizhen, and Deng Huaizhen can often provide professional advice.

"This document is from the Mason Digital Science Laboratory......"

"Wang Hao's research group?"

There are several signatures on the plan, including Paul Phil-Jones, Chen Mengmeng, He Yi and others, and of course, Wang Hao.

Teacher Xu said to Academician Deng Huaizhen, "Look at this, particle annihilation experiment project plan?" Wang Hao applied for a new study, and he also brought his research team with him. ”

"Five Nobel Prizes ......"

Deng Huaizhen was also interested, and walked over to take a look, and immediately noticed the subtitle below, "Research on power technology of aerospace carriers?" ”

Deng Huaizhen and Teacher Xu glanced at each other and looked at each other blankly.

Mr. Xu rubbed his eyes vigorously, glanced at the subtitle again, and found that he was indeed not mistaken, and he laughed, "Who wrote this plan?" How to write a title? Nowadays, when young people write project plans, do they like to use this kind of headless headline? ”

Deng Huaizhen also thought it was funny, but in the face of the projects applied by the five Nobel laureates, there was no way to comment directly, so it was better to be serious, "Let's look at the content." ”

The two watched the content together.

Actually, Mr. Xu couldn't understand it, he just read the general overview.

Deng Huaizhen is the main force.

After a general glance, Deng Huaizhen said seriously, "It's similar to the overview, it's a technique that annihilates particles to release energy. ”

"If there is such a technology, it can indeed provide unimaginable energy."

He was very serious.

The mass-energy equation is E=mc, c represents the 'speed of light', and the square of the speed of light multiplied by mass equals energy, even if the mass is very small, all of it is converted into energy is a huge number.

The essence of nuclear reaction is also the process of converting the mass of nuclear transformation loss into energy, for example, nuclear fission reaction, one kilogram of uranium can release the energy equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT explosion when sufficient nuclear fission reaction is carried out.

One kilogram versus 20,000 tons, you can know how terrible it is.

After listening to Deng Huaizhen's explanation, Mr. Xu asked, "Academician Deng, are you supportive?" ”

Deng Huaizhen said, "I don't dare to judge directly, the research applied by Academician Wang feels a bit too sci-fi." ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I think...... It's better to ask Academician Wang in person. ”

Mr. Xu also agreed with Deng Huaizhen's statement.

The content of this project plan is amazing.

It's okay to just do some experiments, but it's a big project in terms of the content of the project plan.

In addition, the statement of the aerospace carrier is also somewhat out of reality.

The project proposal has a simple description of the space carrier, which means that it will become a fortress for docking space saucers in the future.

How big is a space saucer?

More than twenty meters in diameter.

It would be unthinkable to build a fortress where a space saucer could be docked, larger than a football field, and allow such a huge fortress to operate autonomously, rather than orbiting the Earth like a space station.

"If it's just a small study, allocating hundreds of millions of dollars can directly support it, but this research is a bit too big."

"There is also the cooperation of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and the Institute of High Energy ......"

"So be it."

Mr. Xu made a decision, "Let them submit a detailed report and design, we will have a meeting together to discuss, and then let them make a report in a group." ”

"I'll also listen to it live, what exactly is the Aerospace Carrier......"

He shook his head unconsciously.

……

Mr. Xu's approval of the project plan is 'agree', but he needs a more detailed report and design content, and then hold a meeting to discuss it.

Wang Hao was not surprised to see the content of the reply.

The amount of money spent on such research is very large, and it requires the cooperation of several institutions, which cannot be done with financial support.

He immediately contacted the Institute of Nuclear Physics and the Institute of High Energy, and explained part of the work to them, asking them to give technical and design advice.

Liu Qingzhi had just returned from the experimental base when he learned that Wang Hao had sent a new project cooperation plan, he took a closer look at it and was immediately surprised, "Annihilation particle research? Aren't we experimenting? ”

"Can you provide helicarrier power?"

"This ......"

"Do you want to do the experiment now?"

Liu Qingzhi felt a little confused, but Wang Hao took the initiative to ask for cooperation to agree, and at the same time, he was a little happy in his heart.

The crisis is lifted!

Ever since the explosion in the experiment, he has had a shadow in his heart, always thinking that he might become a second Pril.

It's good now!

Academician Wang Hao is preparing to start a new research, and will also redesign and manufacture the experimental device, and the original experiment can be suspended.

Safety is guaranteed.

On the other side, Academician Tian Guilin of the Institute of High Energy also knew the news, he directly ignored the power technology of the aerospace carrier, and only thought about participating in Wang Hao's research.

Then, the difficulty of choosing arises.

"Am I doing tachyon experiments, or am I doing particle annihilation experiments?"

"Two projects in one go!"

"But you can definitely only participate in one, and you can't have the energy to take care of two......" Tian Guilin was suddenly a little depressed, but he still decided to listen to the content of the new experiment.

What if it's more promising than tachyon?

In the new research, the Institute of Nuclear Physics is responsible for neutron control and energy detection, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics is responsible for the maintenance of nuclear reactors, nuclear radiation safety assurance, and the design and manufacture of related equipment.

Wang Hao's research group, which also represents the annihilation force field experimental group, can provide strong annihilation force field technology, and at the same time, is the party responsible for the project.

After the two institutions were identified, the study group quickly came up with a draft design.

The design plan is only a general part of the experimental equipment, and the more detailed ones are the annihilation force field device and energy control area, and the nuclear reactor, magnetic field and neutron control parts, which need to be studied by the other two institutions to be finalized.

Although it is only a draft design, it can also be submitted.

Because the follow-up meeting will be held for discussion, with the basic design plan, you can submit and report to the meeting, as for some details, because it does not involve technical problems that cannot be broken through, the follow-up can be solved.

The speed with which the study group submits its report is very fast.

The review speed of the higher-level departments is also very fast, and the decision-making department sees Wang Hao's urgency, and at the same time, they are indeed very interested in the so-called 'aerospace carrier power technology'.

The meeting time was quickly finalized.

……

While the research group was preparing for the new experimental project, a very important event occurred in the world, that is, Ameriken identified a new decision-maker.

The No. 2 candidate was successfully elected and became the top decision-maker.

Many opponents believe that the election of the No. 2 candidate is inseparable from the paper released by Wang Hao's research group, and it is precisely because of the support of the paper that the No. 1 candidate lost the election by a very narrow margin in terms of 'scientific and technological support'.

But no matter what, the ending has been decided.

After becoming a new decision-maker, there are a lot of affairs to deal with, and after a series of managers are promoted, the new decision-maker immediately looks to the direction of technology support.

Now everyone knows the importance of scientific and technological research and development.

When the leading edge in science and technology is lost, many fields begin to continue to decline, which leads to a series of problems.

They have to catch up on cutting-edge technology.

This is also the campaign platform of the new decision-maker, and he also lived up to his slogan, and the second group of people who met were a large number of laboratory directors and top scholars, and quickly hired more than a dozen top scholars as scientific and technological advisors.

Among the scientists interviewed, the most important were representatives of the Lake Groom Project team, Empoli Cooper and Korot James.

The new decision-makers also organized a special meeting with the participation of some of the leading physicists, representatives of the Groom Lake project team, and military-related research and development personnel.

However, the conference did not discuss strong annihilation force field technology, but antimatter research.

In the course of the campaign, antimatter is at the heart of the tech-enabled topic, and who is not sure if the research on antimatter is correct.

If candidate No. 1 is elected, he will definitely strongly support the research of antimatter, and the new decision-makers do not express absolute support for antimatter, and also believe that candidate No. 1 has failed to develop technology.

Now the new decision-makers are organizing an antimatter meeting in the hope of discussing the results - whether to support antimatter research?

Whether or not to establish an antimatter research project.

Even though Wang Hao published a paper arguing that there was no antimatter in the explosion experiment and that the pure energy that appeared was caused by the annihilation of particles, there were still many scientists who supported the antimatter research project.

The reason is simple --

Benefit!

Many scientists are engaged in antimatter research, if you start a big antimatter research project, how much benefit is involved?

How much funding is there?

As for whether there will be results, they are not worried, because as long as there is research, there will be results.

Even if it is proved that antimatter does not exist, it is still a success, as is the case in the field of science, where a huge part of the investment in scientific research cannot be converted into applied technology.

In the group of scientists, Krot James is not prominent and does not have a particularly big influence, but he is the chief experimental physicist of the project team, and he still gets the opportunity to speak.

"I believe that the focus of scientific and technological support should continue to be on the technology of strong annihilation force field."

"The strong annihilation force field technology can be studied from the DC direction, and finally, it is hoped that a 'DC annihilation force field' technology based on metal superconductivity can be studied."

From the perspective of theory and reality, Krot-James's speech demonstrated that the study of direct current direction is the direction of the improvement of strong annihilation force field technology.

He also cites the 'mass production of magnetized materials' as an example, "We have done a lot of discussions, and we can only create a thin layer of strong annihilation force field by relying only on communication technology, which cannot be used for mass production at all. ”

"There is a lot of evidence that the technical basis of Annihilation Technology is DC, which is metal superconductivity."

What Krot James said was reasonable, but it attracted a large number of opposing voices, and some scholars immediately said, "Even if what you say is right, that is also the research direction of Wang Hao's team, and if we want to achieve scientific and technological transcendence, we can't walk on the same road, otherwise we will only lag behind." ”

"The last few years have proven this."

"Besides, your research is a mess, and the current technology is still available, right? You're not qualified to talk about technology! ”

The angry words of a few scholars were not merciless at all.

James felt like he had nothing to say.

However, there are also many people who support James's statement, they believe that 'the strong annihilation force field technology that has been proven to be feasible' is the best direction, as for what antimatter, Wang Hao thinks that there is no antimatter in the explosion accident, how to start research?

There was a lot of quarrel at the meeting.

The new decision-maker sat on the side and listened, and couldn't help but rub his head vigorously, he somewhat understood why the previous one couldn't do a good job of scientific and technological support.

These questions about the direction of science and technology are simply not understood, and there are still a bunch of people arguing about holding meetings, and even the hired scientific and technological consultants do not agree on their opinions.

How does he make decisions?

Who should he support?

In the end, the meeting was inconclusive.

The only thing that the new decision-makers have decided is to give the Grum Lake project team more authority to use funds, which means that 'if you want to study the direction of direct current, you will do it, but there will certainly be no large amount of new funding in the short term'.

As for F-ray research, the new decision-makers are not involved.

That's a matter for the military.

Many people who participated in the meeting felt that the final result was also very normal, and the process of running for new decision-makers reflected the style of 'stability first'.

When things can't be judged......

Just put it on hold!

……

"However, it is not an option to keep procrastinating."

Empoli Cooper and Krot James walked out of the meeting together, discussing the issues of the meeting, and said that he was not optimistic about the new decision-maker's approach, "Wang Hao's team, the speed of progress is very fast, and they have always had new results. ”

"If you stagnate, you will fall behind, and you will fall behind more and more."

"Haha~~"

Krot James burst out laughing, "When did you care so much about falling behind?" If you are behind, you will be behind, and you will be backward from the beginning anyway. ”

"Don't you want us to get ahead?" Cooper said puzzled.

"If you had to choose between being unemployed and being a homeless person and being technologically backward, what would you choose?" ”

"Of course I choose the latter." Cooper didn't hesitate, "I've become a vagabond, so why should I care about technology?" ”

"That's what most people do."

"But you can't say it." If you were facing a media reporter, you would definitely choose the former, right? ”

"Of course...... What do you mean? ”

Cooper asked sullenly.

"I don't care at all about falling behind or not falling behind. I've been working hard lately and I've shared my ideas with them, but they don't take my advice. ”

"I did it with a clear conscience!"

"Moreover, I have a new pension plan, which is to go to the International Annihilation Theory Organization, of course, Wang Hao's team can also, or any other organization, sell everything in my head to them, and it will definitely be sold for a good price."

"When the time comes, I will be able to enjoy my retirement with peace of mind."

“…… What a bastard you are! ”

Cooper scolded angrily, and he pointed at James and asked, "You're not afraid I'll tell anyone else about this?" You'll be taken away! ”

"I just planned, I didn't practice."

James said unconcernedly, "I'm still very young, and I'm still far from retirement." And, who knows what will happen then? ”

"Twenty years later, ah......"

"That's a long time ago, look at how the last two decades have evolved...... Maybe by then, the flower growers have already landed on Mars and started Martian migration? ”

"When the time comes, the things in my head may not be worth much."

"Ah~~"

James sighed depressedly, "I envy Paul!" ”
