Great Country Academician

In the office, there was silence.

A dozen or so scientific researchers who hadn't officially entered the job looked at the young man who opened the door and walked in with disbelief on their faces.

This is their boss, the person in charge of this project?

Did they see it wrong, or were they hallucinating? The person who came in was Chuan Shen, who just won the Fields Medal this month?

Everyone was surprised, but for Xu Chuan's face, it was impossible for them to admit a mistake. They could only wonder if they had misread it or had hallucinations.

Just a while ago, Hua Guo won the first Fields Medal in history, and the country's publicity was astonishingly strong, even higher than previous Nobel Prize winners.

Whether it's TV news or hot searches on the Internet, all kinds of screens are swiping.

In this case, how could these scientific research dogs not know Xu Chuan, even if they are not from the same field, they can recognize him.

If it's Xu Chuan, no, if it's Chuan Shen, then it's entirely possible for Han Jin to offer them such a high salary.

A Fields Medal winner, just a few official researcher places, people don't take it seriously at all, okay?

And if you can follow a Fields Medal winner to do research, who cares whether you can successfully apply for a formal researcher.

If this project has achieved results, it doesn't matter even if the first, second or even third works don't have their names, as long as they can simply mention it in the project report, that's enough.

Doing scientific research with a Fields Medal winner is definitely gold-plated.

When it comes out in the future, whether it is a national university or a research laboratory, they will rush to ask for it.

Don't worry about formal researcher or something.

More importantly, we must find a way to stay!

Looking at the researchers with different expressions in the office, Xu Chuan smiled and took the first seat.

After coughing and pulling everyone back from their thoughts, he said, "In addition to meeting everyone, let me introduce myself first. Of course, I believe you all know me."

"My name is Xu Chuan. You can call me Professor Xu in the future."

After the words fell, a younger researcher excitedly raised a question that everyone cared about.

"Chuanshen, is this nuclear project we participated in really yours?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone looked expectantly at Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "The nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration conversion electrical energy mechanism technology project is actually not my project."

"It is a research and development project funded by the state, and I am just the person in charge."

When they heard the first sentence, the hearts of these scientific researchers in the office tightened, and they couldn't help holding their breath; but the second sentence immediately made everyone's hearts calm down and relieved. tone.

Chuan Shen is really naughty, scaring people like this.

Xu Chuan didn't care about the reactions of these researchers. He continued: "Although this is not my project, I will take full responsibility for its management."

"This nuclear energy project, in my opinion, does not need ten scientific researchers. According to my estimation, two to five people will be eliminated in the next six months, and your performance will determine your future. Keep."

"During the half-year probationary period, those who perform qualified can stay, and those who fail to meet the standard will leave automatically."

"Of course, if you perform well, it is possible for all of you to stay."

"I hope that in half a year, I can see you again."

"in addition."

Xu Chuan didn't say much, and directly stated that he had the power of life and death, controlled the fate of everyone present, and established some regulations.

No way, the main reason is that he is too young.

At the age of less than 21 years old, compared with other people here, even the youngest researcher is more than ten years younger.

The huge age gap will definitely make people have some different opinions in their hearts.

Especially in China, social atmosphere and traditional culture and impressions are hard to change.

He does not require these researchers to have much innovative ability at present, it is enough to do things well according to his arrangement.

In short, it's what I arranged, you do it honestly, just don't make trouble.

He doesn't want people who rely on the old to sell the old in his team, even though he has already screened them once during the interview.

Of course, if such a person really appeared, he wouldn't mind kicking him out directly.

Anyway, in China, everything is lacking but there is no shortage of people. He kicks out one, and it doesn't even take the next day to make up for it.

After explaining these things, Xu Chuan assigned the first task before officially entering scientific research.

He looked around at the people in the office, and said, "I have basically completed the theoretical basis of the technical project of nuclear energy beta radiation energy accumulation and conversion of electrical energy mechanism."

"Relevant papers and materials will be sent to you by Professor Han."

"And before officially launching the project research, your task is to fully familiarize yourself with the relevant papers and materials within one month."

"I believe it should not be difficult for everyone here."

"And one month later, I will conduct the first assessment for you, and this is also the key node for the first time to decide whether you can stay."

"Everyone, come on."

Hearing this, a dozen scientific researchers couldn't help swallowing.

It takes one month to get fully familiar with the theoretical basis of a project, even for a postdoctoral fellow, the pressure is not small.

And the subsequent assessment made everyone's hearts even more lifted.

If you fail the assessment, you will be ashamed.

Here Xu Chuan is arranging the start of the project.

On the other hand, Jiangsu Province, which is thousands of miles away, has also moved with the establishment of the "Nuclear Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electric Energy Mechanism Technology Project".

In Qidong City, which is closer to the magic capital, a wide area of ​​more than 20,000 mu of land has been divided in the Linhai area, which is used to build a research institute and a nuclear power plant.

And all the residents in the 20,000-acre area will all be relocated after the follow-up project has achieved certain scientific research results and confirmed that nuclear waste can be reused.

Although the selected area itself is relatively remote and the population density is not high, there are still thousands of households involved.

After all, with the population density in the country, there are basically no uninhabited areas in the coastal areas.

And the migration of so many people is a big project.

In fact, if it is simply to build a research institute and a nuclear power plant, the land area will not need to be so large, and two to three thousand acres of land will be more than enough.

However, the project 'Nuclear Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Transformation Mechanism Technology' is not only studying nuclear energy, but also the most dangerous thing in nuclear energy-nuclear waste.

If the project is completed and it is finally confirmed that the nuclear waste can be reused, then this place will likely receive the radioactive nuclear waste generated by all nuclear power plants in the country.

And just for the nuclear power plants that have not yet begun to expand, the amount of nuclear waste generated by nuclear power plants across the country exceeds 1,500 tons every year.

Once expanded, with Huaguo's capabilities, it is not impossible to generate more than 10,000 tons of nuclear waste every year.

With so much nuclear waste, if something happens, the area within a radius of more than ten kilometers will probably be heavily polluted.

However, if it is really confirmed that nuclear waste can be reused, the biggest possibility is to rebuild a huge waste processing base in the no-man's land in the Taklamakan Desert in the west.

At that time, all nuclear waste in the country will be transported there for centralized processing.

Even in addition to their own country, they can also choose to accept nuclear waste from some other countries.

Of course, this definitely requires an exchange of interests.

Dealing with nuclear waste, such a troublesome thing, if you don't pay something, will I let you ship it?

Even if nuclear waste is no longer a pollutant that is difficult to deal with for Huaguo, but energy for power generation, it is impossible for you to send it directly.

As for the choice, it has nothing to do with Xu Chuan.

At the beginning of September, colleges and universities across the country officially opened one after another.

In Beijing, Xu Chuan dragged Xu Xiao's suitcase and sent the girl to Shuimu University.

And Shuimu University invited him to attend the opening ceremony a few days later, but he declined.

He didn't have so much time to get these things. After sending Xiaoxiao to school, he rushed back to Jiangsu without stopping, and went to the project base that was being developed.

It took less than a week from the official order from above to the time when Xu Chuan rushed to the project base.

But within a week, the originally planned remote area has been filled with various construction equipment and industrial vehicles. At the same time, there are also various transport vehicles and engineering vehicles on the road.

The person responsible for the construction of the research institute here is Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group Co., Ltd.

On the second day after the above official order came down, the state-owned enterprise won the bid directly at an astonishing speed, went through all the procedures, and then began to arrange personnel to enter the site for preliminary construction preparations.

The reason why the research institute was built in Qidong City is that it is near the sea, and the nuclear power plant needs a lot of water for cooling.

On the other hand, it is very close to the devil, and Xu Chuan can quickly transfer over after the construction of the research institute is completed.

In addition, Sujiang has experience in building large-scale nuclear industrial facilities.

Huaguo Nuclear Industry Huaxing Construction Co., Ltd., a subsidiary company of Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group Co., Ltd., is located in Jiangsu. It has undertaken the construction of the "two bombs and one boat" test base, as well as many important nuclear and military projects.

In addition, Qidong is not far from Jinling, so it is convenient to go back and forth.

After comprehensive consideration, the Institute was finally selected here.

In fact, Xu Chuan originally wanted to build the research institute directly in Shanghai.

But the demons do not belong to Sujiang, and communication management is a bit troublesome. And there is not so much land in Shanghai for him to do this.

In case something goes wrong in the experiment process, it will also have an impact on the economy of Modu.

After all, a project related to nuclear radiation, even if it is only a small-scale project research like a research laboratory, is difficult to make people feel at ease.

Although the one billion scientific research project is huge, it is completely insignificant compared to the GDP of Shanghai.

Vehicles came and went on the construction site, smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of excavators and cement trucks roared and rattled non-stop.

Xu Chuan first met with 'Luo Linsong', the person in charge of the construction site. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they entered a temporary factory together.

In the room, a middle-aged and elderly man was crouching in front of the table, looking at the photos, drawings and other things on the table, frowning and thinking about something.

"Mr. Qi, Professor Xu is here." Luo Linsong, the middle-aged man in charge of the construction, greeted the middle-aged man at the table.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses quickly raised his head, and his eyes fell on Xu Chuan.

On the side, Luo Linsong went on to introduce: "This is Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer sent by the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group. Qigong is currently doing preliminary research and is responsible for designing the entire research institute and the nearby nuclear power plant. Professor Xu, what are you doing?" If you have any needs, you can directly ask Qi Gong here."

Xu Chuan stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Qi."

Qi Zhongxing stood up, walked over with a smile and shook hands with him, and said, "It's true that seeing is believing. Professor Xu is younger and more promising than the legends say."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Chuan got to the point: "Qi Gong, I have a request for the construction of the research institute."

Qi Zhongxing nodded, and said seriously, "Say it."

"First of all, I need to have an underground room with an area of ​​at least 300 square meters in the research." Xu Chuan said.

"This room is used for nuclear waste recycling experiments. Therefore, it needs to have strong airtightness, and all lead is used in the structure of the room as a layer of central interlayer protection to prevent the nuclear waste from being destroyed in the event of an accident. Nuclear radiation from the waste leaked out."

"Secondly, in the wall of the central room, except for the bottom, a gap of about two to three centimeters needs to be left on the other three sides, and some materials need to be filled in later."

Qi Zhongxing thought for a while and replied: "These are all fine, I have already considered the safety aspect, not only the separate experimental room, but also the central laboratory will be constructed with materials doped with lead plates to ensure maximum safety of personnel. Safety."

"As for the layer you mentioned, this can be done with double-layer construction, and it's not a big problem."

After a pause, he continued to ask: "I just don't know the approximate radiation intensity of the materials used in your experiment. I need to arrange the corresponding thickness of the lead layer."

Xu Chuan: "Let's dispose of it according to the standards of spent fuel from nuclear reactors in nuclear power plants."

Hearing this, Qi Zhongxing frowned, and said, "If this is the case, the thickness of the interlayer lead layer in the central laboratory may need to be more than three centimeters. You are just doing experiments here, and you need to use nuclear waste with such a high radiation level. ?”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Different nuclear wastes have different treatment methods. This is a very dangerous experiment, so let's follow the highest standards."

Qi Zhongxing nodded, and said solemnly: "No problem, I'll make a special note of this, and you can check and accept it yourself when the time comes."

Although he doesn't know the details of this experimental project, he knows very well how much radiation the spent fuel rods from nuclear reactors have.

If ordinary people touch this kind of material with their hands, it will not last for a week, and the internal organs will rot and bleed to death.

Experimenting with nuclear waste is a scary thing to think about.

If one is not careful, it will be completely finished.
