The ultra-large-scale investment has also made the outside world interested in the funders of the "Sky Mirror" space gravitational wave detection program.

When the outside world saw that the funder was called the "Natural Science Foundation", the first instinct in their minds was that this funding institution should be a public unit, and this was funded by the state.

On the importance of naming names.

It is impossible for private individuals to make such a super-large-scale investment, not to mention that this kind of private capital in basic scientific research projects is not cold at all.

Digging deeper, it was discovered that this institution had not been established for a long time, but it had received approval and instructions from senior leaders.

Although public data shows that the "Natural Science Foundation" is a non-profit organization, everyone firmly believes that this is the allocation given by the state unit and the state.

The major academic circles in China are very excited, basic scientific research has finally been paid more attention than ever before, a "Sky Mirror" plan has smashed a budget of 200 billion yuan, and the Natural Science Foundation is definitely not only invested in the field of astronomy, but also in the field of astronomy from the name of this institution.

Prior to this, the funds allocated to the field of basic scientific research in China were really small, and the annual funds were not as good as the budget of a "sky mirror".

It is no wonder that many scientists engaged in the field of basic scientific research are excited to see this news.

……

Tranquility in the living room of the villa.

Fang Hong, who was watching the TV news, shifted his gaze to the side, and Yu Qiu, who was dressed in business clothes, walked towards him, sat down next to Fang Hong and said: "There is a message from Xincheng University, the LIGO Scientific Cooperation has invited the 'Sky Realm' project to join their organization, and Xincheng University has asked for our opinion. ”

Yu Qiu added: "According to Ning, Barish, one of the leaders of LIGO, has been working on making LIGO a project for all of humanity, and he signed an agreement with Virgo in Italy to share all the data and publish papers together, including this invitation to the 'Sky Mirror' project. ”

Yu Qiu paused for a moment and continued: "In this way, gravitational waves can be detected together at three different locations around the world, and once gravitational waves are discovered, the specific direction and distance of gravitational waves can be calculated according to the time difference. ”

It is worth mentioning that Barish has been inviting scientists in the field from all over the world to participate in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since the establishment of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, and today the LIGO Scientific Collaboration has 108 units from 18 countries participating.

Fang Hong thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's disrespectful to invite you." But the invitation is not to kill ourselves and abolish martial arts, but to use this international cooperation to improve our own self-research system, since it is cooperation, do we have to send some experts to help us do it and provide some solutions? ”

For this invitation, Fang Hong is very happy to accept the invitation, there is no conflict between playing with them, and there are benefits, after all, the gap in some aspects must be faced, if you can obtain some advanced experience or equipment through this international cooperation, it is not a big problem to pay some money.

In fact, Fang Hong is also more worried about whether the "Sky Mirror" can be successfully completed in 2015, after all, it is often easy to have accidents when it comes to this word.

If it can't be put into operation in 2015, then the honor of being the first to detect gravitational waves can only be won by LIGO, don't look at it as just an honor, but this is the only major achievement that the "Sky Mirror" project can achieve in the near future with so much money.

With honor means the accumulation of heritage, down-to-earth speaking, you will engage in this thing will appear very good, very high-end, in order to attract more talents in, this is the point, honor itself is not the core.

If you cooperate with LIGO, you can safely guarantee that the "Sky Mirror" is also the first time that mankind has detected gravitational waves.

But it is very necessary to prevent a hand, science has no borders, scientists have borders, scientific research projects have borders, 2015 is a very critical time node, from this moment on, the attitude of the United States has actually begun to change.

Because a lot of major events happened in 2015, the A-share market entered an epic round of leveraged bull market, and foreign capital was also let in.

After that, it set off a big war in the foreign exchange market, but the international bears led by Wall Street hunted the yuan again, and failed to meet the expected harvest plan was angry, and then in 2016, it began to look for a field in the military, and the Nanhai crisis was about to break out, and the three major fleets of the Republic gathered to deal with the crisis, and the two sides almost really fought.

In the end, Lao Mei was instigated, and the situation cooled down.

But what followed was that Lao Mei retreated, held back for a year or two, and finally set off a "trade war" in 2018, followed by almost all means except the military.

Therefore, it may be in the honeymoon period to cooperate with LIGO now, but at this point in 2015, when the situation changes dramatically, it may not be decoupled.

Now cooperation is cooperation, but it is also extremely necessary to prevent a hand.

But at this moment, Yu Qiu got Fang Hong's decision, and immediately nodded and said, "I'll inform Xincheng University when I go back." In addition, the Natural Science Foundation has drawn up a new direction of investment, which is the application of electromagnetism that you mentioned, which involves the military aspect. ”

Fang Hong took the materials she handed over and looked at them.

This project is aimed at establishing a complete set of electromagnetic weapon systems, the main application is "electromagnetic guns", which can be subdivided into ship-borne electromagnetic guns, vehicle-mounted electromagnetic guns, etc., followed by "electromagnetic guns" and other individual light equipment.

In this field, Lao Mei is the first to play, and the country can't be left behind, playing and playing to find that Lao Mei is touching the fish, and the domestic serious is researching, and the result is that it is leading the world.

It is worth mentioning that this situation is not an isolated case, mainly because Lao Mei from time to time makes a very high-end new concept out to bluff people, saying that it has been put into experimentation and will soon be realized, and the rabbits on the other side of the ocean are scared to start quickly.

One dares to bluff people, the other really dares to believe, not only believes it but also seriously engages in it, and engages in the feeling of discovering that it is really like that, and it is even more convinced to do it, and when I look back, I find that Lao Mei has actually fallen behind.

Technically speaking, electromagnetic weapons do have the ability to change history, and the ultra-high speed and ultra-long range of electromagnetic guns are miraculous for both hitting aircraft and intercepting supersonic missiles.

However, to realize the application of electromagnetic weapons, there is another key technical node, that is, batteries.

Now the battery capacity is a big difficulty, and if you can't hit a few rounds, you will run out of energy, which is chicken ribs.

Once the battery technology has made a breakthrough, it is self-evident for the development of the new energy field, and the expansion of this civil field, Fang Hong decided to put it in the Ningde era or ATL company, and has been laid out in advance.

"Who are the partners?" Fang Hong looked at the material and asked.

"The main cooperation unit is Harbin Institute of Technology, followed by 22 universities and research institutes such as Hebei Artillery Engineering College to open electromagnetic emission research, and the Natural Science Foundation provides full financial support for project research, and the current advance budget is 3.7 billion." Yu Qiu said methodically: "In addition, Xincheng University has also been involved in the establishment of a non-ferrous metal research institute to undertake the research and development of high-temperature superconducting films. ”

After the introduction of the national team organization by Qunxing Capital, many things have gone much smoother, Fang Hong couldn't help but nodded, closed the material report and said concisely: "Then allocate funds." ”
