Chapter 30: The Space Age
Although Qi Lin believes that the Nobel Prize is not particularly important to him or even to the country, it has to be said that when dark matter was discovered, he immediately became the favorite for the next Nobel Prize.
And his status has also been significantly improved. The bigwigs from all sides began to pay attention to this young man and began to give him all kinds of support.
The world is like this, if you have talent, if you show it, you will be valued.
Especially in scientific research.
There is no superior ~ person who will be stupid enough to be embarrassed by this kind of person, this kind of person is the wealth of the country, no matter how much the situation changes, they must be won over forever.
Inevitably, Qi Lin was still exposed to the spotlight.
Qi Lin didn't deliberately hide, and he didn't do anything unsightly anyway.
And a Nobel laureate, to be honest, can't make any waves in the world, and he doesn't have to worry about safety now.
If his scientific research plan can be carried out smoothly in the future, it will be regarded as a thorn in the side of other countries.
Qi Lin calmly accepted interviews from all sides, and by the way, he promoted a wave of his own scientific research tendencies.
On the surface, it is naturally a space strategy, but in fact, only a few people know that what Qi Lin really wants to do is to develop various lethal weapons and improve the lethality of existing large weapons.
In fact, nuclear fusion is an easier option, and countries have already carried out research in this area.
However, Carl's knowledge base obviously has further civilization products, and Qi Lin will not deliberately take care of the progress of the world line and deliberately choose the easier one.
Scientific research is not a person, and it doesn't matter how many years ahead, as long as you can make achievements.
A month later, on the recommendation of the elders, Qi Lin attended a small meeting.
Many of the participants were big names who could be seen on the news broadcast.
There are also some who wear military uniforms, and they don't often appear in front of people, but by looking at the stars on their shoulders, Qi Lin can know their status.
Du Rose's father is among them.
There is also a group of people who are the bigwigs in the scientific research community. Obviously, they're here to be scientific advisors.
To be honest, in the face of these big guys, Qi Lin was not nervous, but he was really a little excited.
He can confirm that this is a moment that can change history.
And all this depends on his performance in the future.
"Dr. Qi, you can get started. The Great Elder nodded to Qi Lin.
He took the lead in organizing this report meeting.
A month ago, he was just an ordinary inspection trip to the prefecture-level city below, but he didn't expect to witness a miracle.
The two meetings with Qi Lin, especially the second time, Qi Lin didn't hide his thoughts too much, not only told him what he really thought, but even gave him a USB flash drive, which was the study notes that Qi Lin had made from Carl's knowledge base in the past two years.
These are all things that he has already eaten thoroughly, and they can all be explained clearly with existing science, so Qi Lin is not afraid of being seen by others, and even, he just wants others to see it.
Large-scale scientific research projects are definitely not something that can be completed by one person, Qi Lin needs help, and he needs it very much.
Otherwise, why did Carl fall in love with Morgana? Isn't it because they cooperated more when they played scientific research together, and they fell in love for a long time?
After getting Qi Lin's USB flash drive, the Great Elder immediately found a trusted expert to start researching and evaluating the possibilities.
Then, he came to a conclusion that shocked him:
The plan has a 30 per cent viability, and if successful, the existing defense armament capability can be increased by at least 200 per cent.
The feasibility of this probability, there is no reason not to dare to fight.
The Great Elder coordinated the time of many people and consulted with many experts to finally decide on this small report meeting.
The stage has been set up for Qi Lin, and Qi Lin has no reason to disappoint.
Qi Lin illuminated the PPT on the large curtain with the laser pointer in his hand and went straight to the point.
"I know that everyone's time is valuable, and I won't dwell on the importance of the space program, but I'm going to show you a blueprint for the future that I have planned. ”
As soon as the picture turned, the scene that followed made even the well-informed bigwigs here can't help but gasp.
Battleships are lined up across the galaxy, peerless mechs are tossing and turning, artillery fire resounding through the universe, and there are boundless mechanical armies.
"This is what I see as the future model of warfare. And my research direction will also work in this direction. I know it's a bit whimsical, but the discovery of dark matter is the first step, and it's not delusional to analyze dark matter, analyze dark energy, reorganize spaceships, and want to do a big war in the universe. ”
"And once the anti-void technology is broken through and equipped on the aircraft carrier, the first scene in the video, the battleship is lined up across the galaxy, and it can be realized. The so-called anti-void technology is actually a further anti-gravity technology, and we have begun to study it, but the results are not very significant. But I have already recorded some of my thoughts on the USB flash drive for the Great Elder, and although it still can't directly achieve the effect in my video, it can already be done by breaking through the existing field. The rest is my work with other researchers, and I have full confidence in that. ”
"Of course, I know that this may be a little too far ahead for you, and forgive me for thinking outside the box for young people like me. I'm going to show you some of the more achievable ideas below, so please take a look. ”
All eyes are focused on the direction in which the laser pointer shines.
They saw the following scene:
A bullet, shot by the flower planter, went through space travel, and the next moment, appeared in front of the Statue of Liberty.
"Space folding technology is very common in film and television works, but in fact, through scientific research, it can be done. And to do this, what is needed is micro-wormhole technology. ”
The picture turns again, and it is a soldier with wings on his back, soaring into the sky.
"Anti-gravity technology and void technology, to be honest, it is not very difficult, the real difficulty lies in equipping the soldiers with matching armor. ”
"In future wars, it will inevitably rely more and more on individual combat capabilities and cutting-edge lethal weapons, and the existing materials on the earth are extremely unlikely to make more powerful cutting-edge lethal weapons, including the mecha and galaxy warships I just mentioned. Of course, I am sure that I can improve the combat ability of individual soldiers, and biologists can also do it by modifying genes. However, I still suggest that the country strongly supports the space program, and there are many things we need in the universe. ”
"Dr. Qi, with all due respect, if you want to achieve the above goals, it should cost an astronomical amount, right?" someone questioned.
Qi Lin didn't care about him, and said honestly: "It is indeed an astronomical amount, and it should exceed all the large-scale scientific research investments in the past." ”
"There are still many areas in our country that need money, and isn't it risky to spend such a huge investment on a space program that has no future in sight?"
"Of course, it's very risky, and I'm sure that it will be led by people with a heart, and there will be a lot of people with asymmetrical information and asymmetrical thinking and experience, who will follow the trend and question it, thinking that it would be better to invest this money in poverty alleviation. But I would say that investing in science is always the most valuable, and countless histories have proven it. ”
"At that time, the situation in my country was so difficult, but we still mobilized the manpower and material resources of the whole country to support the two bombs and one satellite project. If I remember correctly, from the beginning of the two bombs and one satellite project to the first atomic bomb explosion, it has already cost 2.8 billion yuan, and if you include the construction of the nuclear industrial system and supporting expenses, this figure will be expanded to 8 billion yuan. And the 8 billion in that era should have 400 billion yuan now. Is that a big number? Of course it's scary. But is it worth it? It's clear to all of us. ”
Qi Lin certainly knows that all plans will face risks and opposition, and there is never a smooth sailing career.
And what he has to do is to work hard and persevere, as well as persuade the above to invest.
The flower grower is not a neutral country like Switzerland, nor is it the kind of European power that is blown into the sky by many people.
As the most direct competitor to Eagle Sauce in the world, we are not qualified to be comfortable at all, unless we are willing to be slaughtered, just like the neon and the stick next door.
When the eagle sauce is about to be harvested, you have to spit out the money to honor your father.
What is the meaning of that kind of country, no matter how strong the economy is?
In the end, it's just a wedding dress for someone else.
Of course, slogans can't change anything, and no one here can be moved by a few simple slogans, and Qi Lin has to offer something more practical.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to state one thing, although scientific research is a bottomless pit, it is not impossible to generate profits, and if you are lucky, you can also feed back to society and research itself. As long as the results of applied scientific research are used well, the by-products developed may even exceed the investment given by the state, which is not bragging, and everyone should know about it very well. ”
After all, everyone here is a big bull, and this kind of thing has not been experienced once or twice.
Moreover, the research done by Qi Lin is not based on theory, but is an applied research. If successful, there is a good chance that it will feed back into the research itself.
But this is still a castle in the air, and at this stage, it belongs to painting cakes to satisfy hunger.
Everyone knows that, at least in the early stages, this kind of research still requires a lot of money.
It even requires the mobilization of a lot of manpower and material resources.
"Dr. Qi, with all due respect, your plan is too radical, and if it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. And this crazy plan may be difficult to get the support of the public, and even in the industry, there will be opposition from other scientific researchers. ”
Qi Lin nodded, agreeing with this view.
Then he said the last paragraph: "We now blame our ancestors for giving up the ocean, so don't let our children and grandchildren blame us for giving up the universe." We have missed the Age of Discovery, so we have a hundred years of humiliation. If we continue to miss ...... in the space age"
