Chapter 429: Listen, Is This Human Talk?
Being able to sit at the same table with this old man and eat breakfast and do homely cooking, let alone in this country, it is estimated that there are few people on this planet who can have this kind of treatment.
Of course, for the other person sitting at the table, it was probably about the same.
Originally, Xu Chuan thought that the old man was staying here, and he came over to meet him for breakfast this morning, because he wanted to talk to him about something.
As a result, breakfast was finished, and the old man didn't say anything, just chatting, asking him to have a good rest, and if he had any needs, please feel free to ask him.
In fact, the old man does have something to consult with him, after all, now that the controllable nuclear fusion technology has been made, and it is necessary to listen to this person's opinions and opinions on some paths for the development of national science and technology.
But the time is not today, yesterday the controlled nuclear fusion was ignited, and today I asked him for advice, which is a bit too urgent.
At the very least, people have to get some rest.
After the official awards ceremony, it's not too late to talk about future developments.
North, Cosmo.
In a conference room in the Kremlin, an elderly man who didn't look very tall, but who looked very martial, sat in the first place, listening to the other people in the office arguing with each other.
Today's meeting is not the first time.
They had already had an emergency meeting last night.
Hua Guo has ignited the spark of controlled nuclear fusion, which is not good news for them.
Even, it can be said to be pretty bad news.
Although the two countries can barely be called 'allies' in the international situation, this relationship is not very reliable, especially between the two countries.
If it's one big and one small, it's okay to say.
Small countries do not pose a threat to large countries at all, and the development needs of the two countries are not at the same level.
But if both are big countries, it's hard to say.
More importantly, Tsarist Russia is extremely dependent on foreign exchange and capital for the export of various fossil energy.
No one knows better than him how dependent they are on the energy system.
In 2020, the total export trade of Tsarist Russia was about 450 billion meters of gold, and the export of oil alone reached 45 billion meters of gold.
The proportion is about one-tenth.
Not to mention the export of natural gas, coal, methane and other fossil fuels.
If all of them were combined, they would account for more than one-fifth or more of total trade.
Such a homogeneous economic structure is not a good thing for a country.
They also want to transform, but due to the constraints of the international situation, it is almost impossible to do so.
If the advent of controlled nuclear fusion technology has led to the collapse of the oil-meter dollar system, it is not a good thing for their rupee, and it can even be said to be unacceptable.
Perhaps in the short term, given the international situation, China still needs them as an ally to support the scene.
But there is no doubt that in the coming time, Huaguo, which has mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology, will have more say in the discourse of energy.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and the emperor's assistant walked over quickly, and whispered in his ear: "The consulate general of the embassy over there has asked to meet with you." β
The Emperor nodded and said, "Please ask him to wait for a while, and I will go over after the meeting." β
If this is a normal time, you will need to make a reservation at least some time in advance.
A lot of times, it's not like you can see what you want.
After all, every move of a person like them contains a lot of meaning.
Sometimes, a meeting with a diplomatic ambassador may cause changes in the international situation.
But now the situation is relatively special, and neither they nor China can take care of it so much.
Moreover, compared with China, the current Tsarist Russia needs to obtain support from its 'allies'.
Of course, this ally can be China or other countries.
It's just that now, he hopes to cooperate with Huaguo a little more.
After all, China was the first country to master the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, which opened up a new era.
After having a breakfast, Xu Chuan and the old man parted and went to the dawn demonstration reactor engineering base.
Although the Daybreak Demonstration Reactor has been successfully ignited and the power generation work has been completed, there is still a way to go before it is finally commercialized, connected to the grid, etc.
Of course, for them, this journey is just a matter of course, and he doesn't need to worry too much.
Unless there are some major problems with the Daybreak Demonstration Reactor in the process.
However, he is still very confident in the fusion reactor he built with his own hands.
After checking the operation of the demonstration reactor and related work, Xu Chuan returned to the office and began to stare at the computer in a daze.
Without the busyness he was accustomed to, the endless documents he signed, and the endless meetings, he actually felt a little empty.
With a dumb smile, he got up and walked out of the office.
The problem that he was going to spend half his life to die was solved, and it was time for him to relax his nerves and body that had been tense.
After two days of leisurely work, Xu Chuan lazily fished in the artificial lake in the Qixia Nuclear Fusion Industrial Park.
It is said to be an artificial lake, but in fact it is a reservoir built according to the topography.
On the one hand, it is used for emergency water storage, after all, it is a nuclear power plant, just in case, you can directly open the valve to release the water in the artificial lake and quickly respond to the emergency.
On the other hand, it is given as a place for leisure.
After more than two years of development, a lot of various fish fry were stocked by others, and then it evolved into a fishing place.
I have to say that fishing is also a thing that can be passed on from person to person.
What started out as a handful of people occasionally fished in the lake gradually evolved into at least double-digit people fishing at the lake every day.
Even the fish in the lake are as fat as a koi.
No way, a group of researchers, where can they fish? The nesting is very skillful one by one, so that the fish are all raised for nothing.
"Academician Xu, long time no see."
By the lake, a smiling voice sounded in his ears, Xu Chuan turned his head to look, and a familiar old man came into his eyes.
"Yo, what's the wind blowing for you?" Seeing someone coming, Xu Chuan got up with a smile and greeted. The person who came was Mizuki's mathematics professor, Mr. Qiu Chengtong Qiu.
"Two days ago, I watched the news broadcast and saw an earth-shattering news."
Qiu Chengtong found a stool left by a fisherman who didn't know which fisherman left it and sat down, and said with a smile: "Controlled nuclear fusion, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see it realize one day in my life, I really never dreamed of it." β
"The slogan that has been widely spread by the outside world is indeed worthy of its name, and Professor Xu can solve the most difficult problems in that field no matter which field he goes."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Without the cooperation of others and the support of the state, it would be absolutely impossible for me to achieve such an achievement with my own strength." β
Mr. Qiu laughed and said, "What's the use of having a lot of people? With so many people in various countries and so many years of research, isn't there no progress? β
"Scientific research has always been carried by the top people."
Listening to Mr. Qiu's words, Xu Chuan smiled and didn't say anything.
Although this is true, if it spreads, it is estimated that it will offend a large number of people.
But this old gentleman probably doesn't care, his temper and personality have always been straightforward, and he basically says anything without scruples.
Smiling, Xu Chuan bypassed the topic and asked, "Elder Qiu came over today, shouldn't he have come to praise me a few words?" β
Qiu Chengtong smiled: "What, can't it?" β
Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, "It may be possible for others, but for you, Old Qiu, there is probably no such thing." β
Qiu Chengtong smiled and said, "It's true, but it's not a big deal. β
After a slight pause, he restrained the smile on his face and continued, "About the mathematical community. β
"Huh?" Xu Chuan looked over suspiciously and curiously, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with the mathematics world?" β
Chengtong Qiu: "The IMU of the International Mathematical Union looked at the development of the mathematics community in the last 20 years and found that the mathematics community seems to be beginning to forget some of the previous mathematical knowledge. β
"In 1981, for example, Professor Michael Friedman's proof of the four-dimensional PoincarΓ© conjecture showed that this groundbreaking topological result is being forgotten by today's mathematical community, as the few mathematicians who know about it are getting older and leaving the field."
"Not just because of the departure of these old mathematicians, but also because some shapes that are similar to the four-dimensional sphere in some ways must also be similar to the four-dimensional sphere in other respects, so that they are "homomorphic". β
"Therefore, the International Mathematical Union is preparing to hold a conference to advocate the collation of mathematical knowledge in various countries, and at the same time, it hopes to bring those ancient mathematical knowledge back to life."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan probably understood what Mr. Qiu meant, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, but where is the address where the meeting will be held?" β
"If I'm abroad, I probably won't be able to go."
For this kind of thing that is beneficial to the development of mathematics, he naturally supports it with both hands, but the controlled nuclear fusion technology has just been completed, and he probably can't get out in the recent period.
After all, the risk is too great.
Qiu Chengtong said with a smile: "The venue is at Mizuki University, and the time has not yet been completely decided, but it should be this year. β
"Originally, I was worried that you were engaged in controlled nuclear fusion, and I couldn't spare time, but I didn't expect you to be too fast, and what has been studied by the world for decades will be finished in your hands at once."
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "It's not all at once, it's been more than two years since the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project was launched." β
Qiu Chengtong glanced at him with slanted eyes, and complained weakly: "Is two years a long time?" β
Xu Chuan coughed and said, "This is probably the longest time it has taken me to solve a certain problem." β
Of course, he counted the time of his previous life and this life, and it was more than ten years together.
Hearing this, the corners of Qiu Chengtong's mouth twitched, and he suddenly didn't want to talk to him.
It took two years to solve controlled nuclear fusion, which is too long to spend on it.
Listen up!
Is this human talk?
