Genius of the Rules-Style System

Zhao Yi was only one of the academicians who attended the meeting, but after he expressed his attitude, everyone in the venue knew that the tone of the large collider project was almost set.

The Department of Physics of the Academy of Sciences stopped talking.

Zhang Hongzhi had dissatisfaction written all over his face, but he didn't continue to say anything because it was meaningless.

Zhao Yi’s meaning is very clear, that is, the collider project can be built, but it must be when the time is ripe, not when it is in a hurry. Some people must have different opinions, thinking that the collider project can at least be built. Entering the 'demonstration' stage, normally, it will take several years for national key projects to be demonstrated, and the 'time' is almost upon completion of the demonstration.

There were many people with similar ideas at the scene, but they still did not speak out because Zhao Yi's words contained problems related to demonstration. He said, "I don't even know what experiments are needed to verify the theory."

Will the large collider definitely be enough?

There are many types of colliders. What kind of collider can satisfy what kind of large-scale physics experiments?

This is uncertain.

Zhao Yi's attitude shows that he will definitely not participate in the demonstration, so the large collider project will not be able to enter the demonstration stage, because Zhao Yi is one of the top theoretical physicists in the world, and he is the real NO in China. 1. Without NO.1 participating in the demonstration project, it is impossible for senior leaders to give approval. When the time comes, the senior leaders will definitely ask, 'Why is there no Academician Zhao?', should they directly answer, 'Academician Zhao disagrees'?

The top theoretical physicists don't agree, so what else can a group of ordinary physicists argue?

How can we gain trust?

On the large collider project, everyone knows that Zhao Yi has decision-making power, and his opinion is even more critical than that of the Minister of Science and Technology Zhan Gang. On such a major investment project, Zhan Gang cannot make decisions alone. And Zhao Yi's opinion is enough to determine the outcome.

Everyone was silent.

The venue fell into a tacit tranquility. Zhan Gang looked at the people attending the meeting and fell into thinking.

As the leader of the Science and Technology Department, Zhan Gang cannot be just a 'referee' in the decision-making of such a major project. He still has personal judgments and ideas in his heart, but he cannot make decisions personally and must refer to the opinions of relevant scholars. However, Scholars can only give opinions within the academic field, and their vision and opinions are quite limited.

Senior management considers things more comprehensively.

The large collider is a project that requires significant investment, but the initial proposal to build it was not made by the Department of Physics of the Academy of Sciences or other physics research institutions, but by people outside the academic circle.

Because, great powers compete.

With the continuous development of the domestic economy and the increasing influence around the world, competition among major powers is an issue that must be considered, and competition involves all aspects of factors.

Scientific research is naturally a form of competition.

The main domestic competition targets are Europe and Country M. Europe already has a large particle collider and continues to invest in the collider. Last year, it increased its budget by US$4 billion to improve the collider. performance to conduct larger experiments.

Country M is also studying to restart the collider project. News from the Department of Energy also shows that they are preparing to build an electron-ion collider to study basic microphysical issues such as the interior of atoms.

What about domestically?

When two major competitors are investing in a collider project, from a competitive perspective, they also need to build the same collider, even if it proves to be a failure in the future.

This is competition!

If the construction of the collider proves to be very meaningful, it will be too late to invest in construction.

Competition is a factor that must be considered.

In addition, there is the issue of investment funds. The investment in the collider project is very large, because many consumables require rare metals, and many technologies, materials, and equipment have to be imported. A rough estimate of the initial investment will be in the tens of billions. unit.

However, the domestic economic situation is different from before, and it is growing every year. As long as the collider project does not cause an economic burden on the country.

The new collider project needs to refer to the electron-positron collider. The cost of the electron-positron collider in the capital at that time accounted for less than 3.6% of domestic GDP. The new collider project must also be the same. Considering the cost of "tens of billions", construction is definitely not possible now.

"If the GDP reaches the trillions level, the collider project will not burden the economy."

This is Zhan Gang's judgment.

At present, the domestic GDP is around 10 trillion U.S. dollars, which is about 70 trillion U.S. dollars when converted into RMB. There is still a certain gap between it and one hundred billion U.S. dollars. However, as long as the economy develops normally, in seven or eight years, at most ten By 2020, GDP will definitely exceed one hundred billion yuan, and by then the large collider project will not cause any burden on the economy.

…

The meeting is over.

The discussion on the large collider project ended with no definite result, but the uncertainty itself was also the result. Almost everyone who participated in the meeting knew that the construction of the project was only a matter of time.

Those who support the construction of a large collider definitely want it to happen as early as possible, while those who don’t support it want it to continue to be delayed.

Many people will also discuss it privately.

Zhao Yi's speech at the meeting was spread. When he attended the military-industrial meeting the next day, he was surrounded by a large group of academicians and professors.

These people are here to pay tribute.

If you leave aside the academic circle of physics, scholars outside are unanimously opposed to the construction of the large collider, but they are not physics researchers and have no say.

In fact, the reason for the opposition is also very simple. Because the large collider project has too much investment, domestic scientific research investment funds are limited. The large collider project accounts for the majority, and R\u0026D funds in other fields will definitely be squeezed.

This is inevitable.

Even if extra funds are invested in the large collider project, it will definitely not be all. It would be good to have half of the additional investment. The collider project occupies tens of billions, and research and development in other fields needs to be reduced. Fast food'.

Peng Engui is a researcher at the Institute of Metal Research of the Academy of Sciences and one of the top figures in domestic alloy materials research and development. He was also invited to participate in military-industrial research and development conferences.

This time Peng Engui met Zhao Yi.

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Peng Engui believed that he and Zhao Yi had been close friends for a long time, and they also had a very unpleasant quarrel, which caused two or three years of hard work of him and the team to go to waste, and also made his protégé Li Rongmao poached him.

Their relationship cannot be said to be on the same level, and it is definitely not very harmonious.

However, one code equals one code.

They reached a tacit agreement on the construction of the large collider project.

Peng Engui also gathered around Zhao Yi. When he faced Zhao Yi, he felt very complicated, but he felt that he still had to show his senior style and make everything that happened a passing thing. He took the initiative to shake hands with Zhao Yi and sighed, "I heard about you The speech at the meeting was really good. It is not yet time for our country to build a collider."

"With such a large investment, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must have research and development goals..."

He talked a lot in succession and acted very cordially, as if he and Zhao Yi were friends.

Zhao Yi just nodded as he listened and added, "You are right."

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

In the end, Zhao Yi couldn't help but ask, "I'm taking the liberty to ask... It's very presumptuous, are you...?"

"——??"

Peng Engui was completely stunned. He couldn't believe that he heard this question and Zhao Yi didn't recognize him...

do not know him?

do not know him!

He felt a mouthful of pus and blood that almost spurted out of his mouth, and his face turned red from holding it in, like a cow going crazy.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yi ducked a little and asked with confusion.

"I……"

Peng Engui took a deep breath to calm down his inner rage, and then sighed quietly and said, "Xiao Li, are you okay at your place?"

"Xiao Li? Li Rongmao?"

Zhao Yicai reacted suddenly and suddenly realized, "You are Xiao Li's teacher, the Metal Research Institute...I know, it turns out you are...what are you..."

He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Peng Engui was so depressed that he said harshly, "I am Peng Engui, academician!"

"Oh~"

"Academician Peng, I'm so sorry. I forgot for a moment. This is our first meeting. I'm so sorry, so sorry..." Zhao Yi quickly apologized continuously, but he also felt a little depressed. He really didn't know Peng Engui.

I haven't heard this name twice. Even if Li Rongmao went to his place, he wouldn't ask who the teacher's name is, right?

Anyway, I don’t know him.

In addition to Peng Engui, there were other influential figures present. Zhao Yi and Peng Engui exchanged a few unfriendly words, and after they separated, they started talking to others. The most noteworthy one was Zhou Haoren, the general manager of Hongfeng Industry. .

The prototype developed and designed for the War Eagle engine unit depends on several military manufacturers. The core of which is Hongfeng Industry. Hongfeng Industry is the most cutting-edge heavy industry group in China and a listed military-industrial company. General Manager Zhou Haoren is also very Heavyweights can directly participate in decision-making for the development of the military industry.

Zhao Yi and Zhou Haoren exchanged a few words and then directly talked about the issue of prototype manufacturing.

Zhou Haoren knew about this project.

There are only a few aero-engine projects. The newly formed War Eagle has come up with an amazing design, and the news has spread. However, because it is too advanced and is aimed at fifth-generation fighters, the manufacturing of the prototype has been delayed.

Although Zhao Yi asked his team members to go to the cooperative manufacturer to urge the initial preparation of prototype parts, the news would definitely not reach Zhou Haoren. Zhao Yi simply talked to Zhou Haoren directly, "New fighters will definitely come out, and the prototype design must be faster. "

"Our research and development needs to be accelerated, but progress has been delayed and time has been wasted."

Zhao Yi's tone was a little helpless.

It is difficult for Zhou Haoren to understand, because compared with the construction of large engines and aircraft design, a few months, half a year or even a year are not long. The construction of prototypes also takes time, and the preliminary preparations are not much, but a few months of delay can make a difference. What's the big deal?

Compared with the investment in prototype component manufacturing and mold manufacturing, the determined design is obviously more important.

Hongfeng Industry will definitely not delay the progress of prototype manufacturing, especially since the prototype was designed by Zhao Yi's team, it is even more impossible to delay.

Zhou Haoren asked a few simple questions, and when Zhao Yi confirmed that the prototype of the aiming machine would be out soon, he simply patted his chest and promised, "I will tell them immediately and let them pay attention to the problem of your prototype and let them design the mold in advance." . If it can be manufactured in advance, that’s no problem.”

In fact, it is still a matter of cost.

If the mold is manufactured and the design is changed, the previously manufactured mold will be wasted, and a lot of money will be lost in vain. It is common to have tens or millions of dollars, but Zhao Yi guarantees that the anti-sight fighter will come out, and the manufactured prototype Just like the design provided, everything will be fine.

Next, Zhou Haoren talked with Zhao Yi about high-end manufacturing issues. He talked about the technical difficulties encountered by Hongfeng Industrial R\u0026D in a somewhat bitter tone.

High-end manufacturing involves a wide range of technologies, but to summarize various manufacturing difficulties, the most important ones are two basic issues.

One is accuracy.

One is materials and technology.

In high-end manufacturing in the field of heavy industry, material and technical issues are more prominent; in other high-end manufacturing, precision is the core.

Hongfeng Industry is a military industry enterprise. Strictly speaking, it belongs to a heavy industry group. However, in fact, its development has no longer been restricted by "heavy industry". In modern military-related manufacturing, precision is also very important. For example, aerospace engine manufacturing, internal core Components, rotating shafts, etc. have extremely high requirements for errors. Some electronic components also need to be manufactured, and precision is even more important when it comes to precision instruments.

The core problem encountered in the research and development of Hongfeng Industry is the accuracy of the mechanical spindle.

No matter what kind of manufacturing or machinery, it must have a rotating spindle. The rotating spindle must have the highest precision so that the manufactured products can have very high precision.

In terms of manufacturing industrial spindles, Country R has the most say. The industrial spindles they produce are the most precise in the world. Even the chip equipment that requires the most precision use the spindles they produce.

The main axis is the core.

However, high-precision spindles are restricted from foreign imports, which means you can't buy them even if you have money.

If Hongfeng Industry wants to work hard on precision, it needs a spindle with higher precision. However, in the design and manufacturing of spindles, there is a huge technological gap between domestic and foreign countries.

This is the biggest limitation.

Even if we develop better technology, it will be useless. Without a high-precision spindle, we cannot manufacture the corresponding equipment, and the corresponding products will naturally not be manufactured. Even if we can barely manufacture them, the qualification rate of the products will be low.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why many domestic high-tech instruments and equipment cannot be mass-produced.

Zhou Haoren said a lot of things in succession, which gave Zhao Yi a better understanding of the limitations of high-end manufacturing.

Of course, he didn't come here specifically to cry.

Zhou Haoren hopes that Zhao Yi will support superior policies to tilt towards high-end manufacturing R\u0026D, so that Hongfeng Industry can invest more funds in corresponding R\u0026D fields.

He is the general manager of Hongfeng Industry, but because Hongfeng Industry is a state-owned enterprise, or a military-type state-owned enterprise, he does not have the final say alone. A lot of funds are also allocated by superiors, and the annual R\u0026D budget is , still need to hold a large meeting to decide.

After hearing this, Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I have always supported the development of high-end manufacturing, so there is no problem in supporting it."

Zhou Haoren breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yi suddenly asked, "By the way, Manager Zhou, regarding the industrial spindle issue you just mentioned, can R Country produce the most advanced and highest-precision spindle?"

"Yeah?" Zhou Haoren nodded doubtfully.

"And the spindles we manufacture are still far behind? Maybe we can't keep up with the last two generations?"

"yes?"

Zhao Yi thought for a while, then his eyes lit up as if he thought of something, and he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely support you!"
