Chapter 374: Project Velvet

Chen Nian knew that Sebastian couldn't help but come over to see it in person after seeing the report sent to him by Eichendorf.

The reason, of course, is not only because of the novelty and sophistication of the report, but more importantly, because he hides the most critical parts of the data.

Without this part of the data, the whole logic cannot be established, and exquisite reasoning and argumentation cannot be closed.

No scholar can resist such temptation-—— or provocation.

It's like putting a winning ticket in front of a destitute ordinary person and telling him that he can only get the last number if he comes in person.

CFETR-based research is a treasure that should never exist in this world, and when its light begins to flicker in this world, who can resist the temptation to open the treasure chest?

Therefore, although these 50 source points cost a lot of money, it is really worth it.

You must know that the system does not have the function of directly analyzing theories, in order to get the data he wants, Chen Nian had to continue to reason according to the residual memories of his previous life, and designed a set of experimental devices about plasma control that did not exist in this world.

This drained almost all of his knowledge in the field of plasma control, and it also took a team of professionals a few days to do so.

However, all the efforts were in vain.

Sebastian eventually accepted EAST's invitation and confirmed that he would arrive in China in two weeks.

He did not completely abandon his work in Max Planck's lab, but applied to the Huaxia authorities to organize the project in a "part-time" way.

After discussion, the EAST group agreed to his proposal.

After all, there is still a long way to go from the theory of plasma control to the actual operation, which will not affect Huaxia's exclusivity and superiority in nuclear fusion application technology.

Thus, Sebastian's "introduction" plan was finalized.

solved a big trouble in talents, and Chen Nian also relaxed.

In the next time, what he needs to do is to organize a "teaching team" as soon as possible according to the previous discussion with Chen Guo, and use the existing conditions to complete the run-in first.

In the office, Chen Nian opened the list of personnel that Chen Guo had just handed over to him, and while briefly flipping through it, he asked:

"Do I have decision-making power over this list?"

"Or to put it another way, what if I want to replace someone on my list?"

Hearing his words, Chen Guo replied:

"Just mark it directly on the personnel list."

"What you're asking is that you choose people yourself, and this list is just a reference."

"However, to be honest, all the people in the list have been repeatedly screened and optimized."

"Whether it is in terms of academic level, moral level or future potential, a relatively perfect balance has been reached."

"How to put it - for example, of course, we want to find those industry leaders with high academic standards as much as possible to be setters, but the problem is that these people are generally older, even if they can continue to learn, but in terms of long-term output, they will face problems."

"Coupled with the way you work, to put it bluntly, you don't really need too much input and interaction, so it's best to make appropriate compromises."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded slightly.

The consideration of the superiors is extremely practical and far-sighted.

They fully understand their "how-to".

Yes, Chen Nian does need a lot of information and knowledge input, but once the basic information is up to standard, his output no longer needs more complex cooperation.

Therefore, the two links of "education" and "education" are completely separated, and the allocation of personnel can naturally be completely separated.

"These lists. It won't be directly selected from the list of National Youth and Changjiang Scholars, right? Are all so young? ”

Chen Nian asked suspiciously.

In fact, as he said, there are very few people over the age of 40 in the entire list, and a limited number of people can be seen to deliberately select seniors with high academic standards to come to the town.

"There is overlap, but not sufficient conditions."

"It is not uncommon for people who can be selected to win awards, and it is certainly not unusual to be selected as National Youth and Changjiang Scholars."

"In addition, coupled with our age control conditions, the degree of overlap in this aspect is relatively high."

"Understood."

After a pause, Chen Nian continued to ask:

"The proportion of people with overseas education is a bit too high, can you exclude some of them?"

"Yes, but if you're worried about secrecy, you can actually put it aside."

"In the area of plasma, our previous scientific research level was relatively backward, and only returnees like them can absorb the latest technology and theory."

"We have gone through multiple rounds of vetting and screening of these personnel, and the probability of problems is very low."

"In addition, as proof of this, there is a fact that is very clear."

"That is, since these people have chosen to come back, they have already proven their reliability."

"There is a saying that there is no secret to nuclear fusion, and every progress it makes will be observed under a microscope."

"It's almost impossible to hinder our progress through 'technological espionage'."

Chen Guo didn't say it thoroughly, but Chen Nian already understood what he meant.

Yes, since there is no way to deal a blow to the scientific research process of nuclear fusion in China through espionage, the best strategy for the US side is to organize the return of these scholars as much as possible.

Being able to choose to come back shows that their hearts are indeed here.

After sorting out the basic questions, Chen Nian began to read the technical backgrounds of these candidates seriously.

Compared with the strict official review in the early stage, his way of judging is relatively simple, that is, he only looks at whether the direction is forward-looking.

After a round of screening, there were very few people who were excluded from him, and the original list of 17 people finally left 13 people.

"Alright, that's all there is to it."

Chen Nian handed the checked list to Chen Guo, who took it and glanced at it cursoryly, and replied:

"Then it's settled."

"It takes some time for these people to get in place, and once they're in place, they're going to communicate with you in a completely closed format."

"It's going to be a long process, and you're all going to have to go through it."

"If you want to cancel the plan halfway through, you can always ask for it."

Hearing this, Chen Nian shook his head solemnly.

He replied:

"This plan will not be canceled-—— maybe it will be suspended at some point, but it must not be canceled."

A few days later, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Pan Qingwei was standing on the podium, holding a marker in one hand and a teacup of a veteran cadre in the other, explaining the course content to the students in the audience.

Therefore, according to the previous experimental data, we can know that the key to variation lies in the nature of the collision operator, and we are concerned about the system where the temperature of each component is not equal, and from the perspective of the calculation of the transport coefficient, it is natural to assume that each component is close to thermal equilibrium."

This lecture is about the neoclassical transportation theory of multicomponent plasma, which involves a lot of complex calculations and assumptions, not to mention students who are new to this field, and even himself, sometimes he will be sleepy while talking.

Coupled with the unbearable heat, the atmosphere in the classroom is really not too good.

The students in the audience couldn't find 5 people who really listened carefully, most of them were either distracted or in a daze, and the slightly better ones would try to memorize it, but after finding that they were really powerless, they had to helplessly put down the pen in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Pan Qingwei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

What can I do?

Scientific research is a long and difficult road, and most of the students sitting in this classroom have come here because of some kind of romantic fantasy.

Before they make a choice, they don't really understand the meaning of that choice, and they can't know what it means to them once they embark on this path.

Is this pathetic, or despicable?

Not at all.

On the contrary, such a teenager's spirit is respectable, but in many cases, the boy often does not find the sword that belongs to him

Pan Qingwei took a sip of the tea in the cup, swept the audience, and after seeing that the most diligent students also began to doze off, he simply put down the marker in his hand, and then said:

"The content of today's class is indeed a bit too difficult, and it is not a way for us to continue like this."

"So, I'm thinking about re-arranging the content of the lecture, so I'll stop here for the time being."

"Everyone go back and have a good rest, and they should also think more about the things on the courseware."

"Strive for the next class, at least each of us can understand what the words written in the book mean, okay?"

Hearing his words, the students in the audience responded one after another.

Of course, they are all arrogant when they can enter this university, but to put it bluntly, arrogance cannot be eaten as food, let alone exchanged for any amazing understanding.

All they can do is to follow the teacher's schedule and adjust their state as much as possible

The class ended, the students left, and Pan Qingwei turned around and walked out the door after packing up the podium and his materials.

But just as he reached the door, a man stood in front of him.

"Professor Pan, is it convenient to talk?"

Pan Qingwei saw at a glance the document in the man's hand, and this document came from an organization that had been circulating among top scholars for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to see the real face.

Spark Group.

His eyes lit up immediately, and after checking the authenticity of his documents, he hurriedly let the man and the other security guards behind him into the classroom.

"Just talk here?"

Pan Qingwei asked impatiently.

"Yes, it's right here."

The man nodded, then continued:

"Professor Pan, I think you are also very clear about our identity and know something about the organization we belong to."

"Then we don't need to explain the background any more-—— let's get straight to the point."

"We have a project that we would like you to participate in."

"The project will be fully closed, and the closure period has not yet been determined, but for you, it will not exceed three years at most."

"Regarding the specific content of the project, it is inconvenient for me to disclose it to you here, nor is it convenient to talk to you."

"The information that can be told is that it is a key scientific research project."

"Here, we need to ask your opinion first, would you like to participate in such a project?"

Hearing the man's words, Pan Qingwei subconsciously shook his head, and then he immediately reacted and said:

"I don't think I'm reluctant, I mean, the information you've provided is a bit too broad for me to make a decision based on."

"At least I need to know what kind of responsibilities and what kind of content I will be responsible for in this project, right?"

"Of course."

The man nodded and replied:

"What you will be responsible for is the implementation of the work from theory to application."

This sentence is still extremely brief, but for Pan Qingwei, the amount of information is completely sufficient.

From theory to implementation, combined with his own research direction, there is no doubt that it must be the core part of the EAST project.

In fact, he himself has been involved in the theoretical preparation of the EAST project, and has always wanted to go further, and it is believed that there is no suitable opportunity.

And now, the opportunity is in front of him.

Can you refuse?

Apparently impossible.

Almost without hesitation, Pan Qingwei opened his mouth and replied:

"I'm willing to be part of the project!"

A few days later, Pan Qingwei boarded a plane to his destination.

He was surprised to find that he was not the only one sitting on the plane.

There are 4 people in total, all of whom are experts in plasma control.

This made him more determined in his judgment, but the only thing that made him wonder was:

Why fly?

Could it be that the EAST project has independent research institutes in other cities? Or is the technology center of the Spark team not located in Hefei?

He tried to communicate with his other companions in order to get more information, but after some discussion, no one could come up with a convincing judgment.

It wasn't until the plane landed and walked out of the cabin that Pan Qingwei suddenly came back to his senses.

He recognized the place.

Chengdu, the land of abundance.

"What are we doing here?"

He asked, as if in his own words.

However, no one answered.

After getting off the plane, the group transferred to a special car and continued on their way, and after several hours of driving, several people finally reached their destination.

And this so-called destination surprised Pan Qingwei.

Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute.

What the hell?

How did he get thrown into Cheng Fei by himself who was engaged in plasma?

At this time, he was already full of question marks, but fortunately, his question was answered.

In one of Cheng Fei's offices, he saw a young face.

The owner of the face smiled at the people who came, and said:

"Welcome, I'm Chen Nian."

"As you know, this is where the mission you have been accepted will be."

"You're probably confused and don't know what you're going to do."

"Actually. The task is simple. ”

"Here, you will be exposed to the world's most advanced and cutting-edge technology for plasma control for some time to come."

"You have to learn it, understand it, and eventually. . . Use it for the EAST project. ”

"It's easy to understand, isn't it?"

"If the Spark team is a match, then you will be the velvet that lights the bonfire?"
