Compared with the complex nuclear fusion device, the equipment design work of the annihilation particle experiment project is indeed much simpler.

In the whole design, there is no technical difficulty that cannot be overcome.

There are many parts of the design that can be copied and basically there are no problems, and there are a few difficult points that can think of several solutions, and they just choose the most suitable one.

Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's not important.

There are three technologies dedicated to the equipment of this experimental project, one is the DC regional strong annihilation force field technology unique to the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Group, one is the high-energy particle control technology, and the last is the energy control of the nuclear reactor.

Each of these can be said to be the most cutting-edge technology in the world.

In addition, the simplicity of the design process cannot be used to measure the importance of research, and there are areas where the technology is very simple, but the problem is that it is unthinkable.

For example, the ancients had prepared gunpowder a long time ago, but for a long time, it was only regarded as an 'alchemy' method by the monks, and they never thought to study the principle of it.

The same is true of the current Annihilation Force Field technology.

The previous strong annihilation force field technology has been used as a material fabrication, including the discovery of a large number of first-order element materials, first-order silver and second-order copper elements close to superconducting properties, etc., and other applications are only to produce F-rays, but F-rays are still strong annihilation force fields, but the field force area is only expanded based on the principle of 'instantaneous release of compressive field force', which is essentially no different from physical deformation.

The current research is to discover the direction of the application of a strong annihilation force field.

Annihilate the particles, make energy!

Obviously, the way of using it is completely different.

"It's a whole new way of applying."

"Every small research is a big step forward in a new direction, and now we are using this new direction to study the 'infinite energy' technology of mass-to-energy!"

"I believe that this research will be one of the most important milestones in the history of human development!"

"The future will go down in history!"

"Everyone here is a participant and a witness, and the name of the future will be added with the word 'great'!"

At the celebration party, Wang Hao gave an impassioned speech.

He talked about the equipment design work, talked about the importance of experimental research, and affirmed the work of everyone present.

Everyone listened to the blood boiling!

"Go down in history!"

"This is probably the ultimate dream of many people!"

"I really didn't expect that Academician Wang's evaluation is so high, it seems that he is very confident in the experiment, and I am looking forward to it."

"If it can really go down in history, it will really be glorious!"

Everyone was very excited and excited, and they talked privately that the research with Wang Hao was very promising, and the work time was not long, only more than two weeks.

They are involved in important projects and receive a lot of money.

It can even go down in history!

What research work could be better than that?

……

After the celebration, the temporary design team will not be disbanded.

Wang Hao reconvened everyone to hold a meeting, and assigned new work to each group member, who had to follow up on the design and manufacturing of their own group.

To put it simply, it is to follow up on manufacturing.

The manufacturing of each part of the equipment is the responsibility of the partner factory, but because the manufacturing is a new equipment, some complex parts even have to be done manually.

Each team will follow up a part of the manufacturing work, they will enter the manufacturing factory, watch each part be manufactured little by little, and solve any problems encountered along the way, but also ensure that the manufactured parts will not have any deviations other than errors.

This experiment is so important.

It would be a pity if the experiment failed because the manufactured parts were not up to standard, so it was necessary to follow up the manufacturing process.

This part of the work is still left to the design team.

Tang Changyuan and Du Bin were not able to participate in the design work, and they also inquired about the progress, only to know that they could not participate at all.

"If you weren't involved in the design work, you won't need it in the future."

Zhou Yongxiang called Tang Changyuan and said, "We are all a group to follow up part of the content, and we are in charge of the part we designed." ”

"My team has to be in charge of high-energy particle control and magnetic fields."

"Yu Dawei is responsible for the electronic circuit."

Tang Changyuan felt very depressed when he heard Yu Dawei's name, they were scholars in the same field, and they knew each other after attending several academic conferences together.

Yu Dawei is an ordinary researcher, he is not yet forty years old, and he has no special achievements, and compared with him, whether it is achievements, qualifications, or academic influence, he is not on the same level at all.

Just because he didn't participate in the design work, Yu Dawei became the team leader and was responsible for the design and manufacturing follow-up of a part.

He and Du Bin are not even qualified to participate.

At this time, Tang Changyuan realized that he was a small person, he was an expert assigned by the science and technology department to participate in the project in the past, and he was directly kicked out.

In many cases, when you encounter this situation, you may return to the project after a few soft words with the project team leader.

He didn't have that opportunity.

Because he couldn't contact Wang Hao at all, they didn't have the authority to contact Wang Hao directly, and after Wang Hao determined the candidate for the follow-up work, the science and technology department directly crossed out his name.

It was the first time Tang Changyuan had encountered such a situation.

This seems to be that the science and technology department completely listens to Wang Hao, and it is clear that the science and technology department is the responsible party for the project, so it can be said to be the 'superior department', not the other way around.

Tang Changyuan could only sigh depressedly, he and Zhou Yongxiang continued to chat for a few words, and as a result, they heard a lot of heart-piercing words.

"Old Tang, there is no chance this time and there will be a next time."

"It's really important for you to attend that meeting, we have a small project, and the design was completed in half a month."

"But at the celebration a few days ago, I drank a few more glasses."

"At that time, Academician Wang said very well, he said, although our research is simple, but it is very important, and it may go down in history in the future."

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't listen to it at all, but who is Academician Wang? Can his words be false? ”

"I'm so happy!"

"Everyone in our group is very happy, think about it, if the research can really go down in history, I can also say that I am a hero of the country in the future......"

"When the old one can't move, why don't you send me a medal?"

"Hahaha......"

After Tang Changyuan put down the phone, he almost vomited blood angrily, and gritted his teeth hard and spit out two words, "Old-Zhou-"

“！！”

"It's disgusting, he just did it on purpose."

"King-Eight-Egg......"

……

When the annihilation particle experimental equipment entered the manufacturing stage, the research of the Groome Lake project team also entered a new track.

With the support of the new decision-makers, the research team spent a lot of money to purchase high-pressure mixed material pipelines and other equipment, and spent more than $3 billion in one go, and they were ready to conduct research in the direction of the DC annihilation force field.

Empoli-Cooper also frequently convenes various research groups and holds research meetings in the DC direction to carry out the underlying design work related to DC technology.

It also represents Cooper's trust in James.

Like most experimental physicists, he also wanted to be able to engage in the highest precision technical research, and he judged that direct current was the main direction of annihilation field research.

"If we can create a strong annihilation field through direct current, I believe it is likely to create a region instead of a thin layer."

"Yes, many people have asked me, and I can now say that there is no basis for this judgment."

"It's my personal intuition, the intuition of being an experimental physicist!" James said seriously, "I'm very grateful for Empoli's support, and everyone here is doing research from the direction of the DC, and I'm sure we can ......."

James gave a personal presentation.

After this speech, even Cooper had to look up to him, James is usually lazy and lazy, feeling that he has no fighting spirit, and his personal private life is also a mess, but when he really enters the work state, his ability is very worthy of recognition.

Now the speech is also very appealing, and many people have been convinced.

The research in the DC direction is on the right track, and everyone works together to find something in the direction of the DC page annihilation force field technology.

Of course, there are naysayers.

At present, the international mainstream is still researching first-order silver, even the study of annihilation force field, some institutions also use first-order silver to synthesize new superconducting materials to experiment whether they can create anti-gravity fields.

The same is true for the military and businesses.

Their research institute is also focusing on first-order silver, and continues to use some silver for various experiments, while the military has also restarted F-ray research.

The multi-directional research is being carried out at the same time, and there is also a positive feeling.

According to a lot of information that has been exposed, some media have called the current multi-directional research scenario a 'cutting-edge science and technology competition'.

Competition, the object of comparison is the flower planter.

The Grum Lake Project team is targeting the Anti-Gravity Properties Research Center; The military's F-ray research claims to 'use F-rays to excite deuterium-deuterium reactions to create nuclear fusion devices', and research on first-order silver involves competition in both the basic and civilian fields.

At present, Amrican is at a disadvantage across the board, but as long as it is working hard to do research and development, it can give the outside world a sense of vitality.

The field of scientific research seems to be full of vitality.

Of course, there is also an area of dissatisfaction, that is, the research on antimatter, and the new decision-makers did not deny the direction of antimatter research, but there is no doubt that antimatter has been postponed indefinitely.

Many people who are very dissatisfied with this have come forward and said, "The current situation is that politics has affected technology." ”

"Antimatter wasn't going in the wrong direction, but because candidate number one supported antimatter and he failed, antimatter became the mistake."

"Our R&D shouldn't be ...... like this"

Without considering the real situation, these words are still inflammatory, and they are also supported by many people who do not know the situation.

The new decision-makers did not say anything about it.

On issues in the relevant field, he is wrong no matter how he behaves, and those who oppose it will not keep their mouths shut about his statement, and they will be able to think of new reasons.

At the same time, the new decision-makers are concerned with antimatter research.

He got a new piece of information, from the most secretive intelligence service, "We analyzed a series of information and came to a conclusion. ”

"The science and technology department of the flower grower seems to have launched a new research project, which involves nuclear reactors and annihilation force field technology, and it is very likely that it will conduct research on antimatter, and has already conducted an experiment."

"The credibility of the intelligence is more than 90%."

The credibility reaches more than 90%, and there is still a certain degree of accuracy.

The new decision-maker was surprised to see this information, he was not a scientific worker, he did not understand the complexity of science, but because the election process involved the issue of antimatter direction, he still knew a lot of information.

For example, the paper published by Wang Hao and others clearly stated that there was no antimatter creation in the explosion.

For another example, the possibility of Wang Hao publishing a fake paper is extremely low.

So here comes the question -

"Why do they need antimatter technology? How did they research antimatter technology? Where to start? ”

The head of intelligence put it this way, "It's just a study of suspected antimatter, maybe it's not antimatter research, it may be a study of annihilation particles." ”

"I asked once, in particular, an expert, and he thought that if the corresponding research was carried out, it would still be based on the explosion experiment, but the technology was different."

"We can call it antimatter technology, we can also call it annihilation particle technology, the physics are different, but the result is the same."

The new decision-maker suddenly realized, "It turns out that we have been misunderstood, we have been misled by the concept of antimatter, and the new research has nothing to do with the previous antimatter?" ”

"Yes!"

The head of intelligence nodded earnestly.

After the head of intelligence left, the new decision-maker discussed it with the team and found that it was necessary to conduct relevant research.

If the information is true, the flower planters are already on a new direction, and if they choose not to follow up, the new direction will be as backward as the Annihilation Force Field technology.

When the time comes, it will be impossible to catch up.

"We must not lag behind in this direction, and we must also follow up on the research."

"It seems that those scholars who support antimatter research are right, using the replica explosion experiment as a starting point, so that they can free their hands to study ......"

"When the time comes, maybe there will be a discovery!"

The decision was made by the new decision-maker.

He found several scientists who supported antimatter research in a row, and even held a secret research seminar.

In the end, the problem was stuck in funding.

The new decision-maker is only new to his appointment, and if he wants to support a big research project, he will certainly not be able to bypass the funding hurdle.

Like the previous policymakers' support for the Lake Groom project, the House of Representatives would have to be persuaded to start a major scientific and technological study with more than $10 billion in funding.

The process is lengthy, with a minimum of more than three months.

"If it is delayed for three months......"

After careful consideration, the new decision-makers turned their attention to the Lake Groom project team, which still has more than $20 billion in funding.

That's a lot of money.

"We can put the research of antimatter on the Lake Groom project team first, and the research will need annihilation force field technology anyway......"

"If there is some progress, it will be easy to persuade parliament to support it."

The idea of the new decision-makers is good, but it is simply not possible to use the funds of the Lake Groom project team to support 'irrelevant' antimatter research.

However, there are still ways to do it.

Soon.

The Ministry of Energy sent an investigation team to the Lake Groom Project Team to conduct a detailed investigation into the use of funds in the name of 'reviewing expenditures'.

They have found that there has been a significant drain on funds recently.

The head of the investigation team approached Empoli Cooper and Krot James and asked about the recent use of funds, the direction of their ongoing research, and so on.

After that, Krot James was taken away.

This incident made the project team feel inexplicable, they were conducting research in the DC direction, and as a result, the person in charge was directly taken away?

What's going on?

Crot James was taken away calmly because he really didn't do anything, and then he found out that there really was nothing to do.

He was asked a few questions, "Why are you against antimatter research?" ”

"Are you sure that DC research is in the right direction right now? What is the basis for your judgment? What do you think? ”

"If you were told that the flower grower was doing research on antimatter, would you change your mind?"

Of course, James has no basis for judging the direction of DC, and when he gives an internal speech, he says that he is just intuition.

A week later, James returned to the project team.

He was joined by a major figure in antimatter research, Indian-Dun physicist Ranga Gebin Kolana.

Langa Gebin Colana joins the project team as the head of antimatter research, with the same status as Krot James, and is nominally a subordinate of Cooper.

However, antimatter research is independent.

Cooper has no right to meddle.

So, in effect, Langa-Gebin-Kolana and Cooper are on an equal footing and are in charge of different research projects.

DOE officials have also repeatedly stressed that Cooper must give absolute support to antimatter research.

This series of events made the project team feel incomprehensible, and Cooper was also very dissatisfied, he asked James, "What happened?" What's going on? ”

"It's simple."

James explained nonchalantly, "I stayed in a hotel, a luxury hotel, and I met Colana by the way, and he told me about the prospects of antimatter research. ”

"Whether I agree or not, he came back with me anyway."

"So, let's put a pause in DC research."

Cooper felt that his mind was a little overwhelmed, and he immediately asked, "Why?" ”

"Money."

James said, "Why do you think they're here?" Because of the money, we have the money, and they will definitely ask for a lot of money. ”

"We all need funding, and the Department of Energy clearly supports them......"

"Got it?"

"All our future big expenditures have to get the nod of the Ministry of Energy, because the funds are limited, they will refuse to ......"

Cooper didn't know what to say for a while, he suddenly felt that his future was bleak, and asked James with a sigh, "Krot, do you have any other retirement plans?" ”

"Help me think of one too?"

"I think I should have planned for it earlier......
