Great Country Academician

It has to be said that the grand plan proposed by Xu Chuan and the old man moved the hearts of the entire senior management.

If other scholars or scientific researchers proposed such a huge plan to them, I am afraid that these old people in Guowu would directly reject it without even thinking about it.

But the person who proposed this grand plan is the person who has created countless miracles and led the country to realize controllable nuclear fusion technology. They are still quite excited.

Of course, the heartbeat belongs to the heartbeat. It is still necessary to investigate whether such a grand plan, which is bigger than the controllable nuclear fusion project, will be implemented.

Even if the final ultimate goal is put aside, it is to transform Mars. This whole series of goals, such as restarting manned spaceflight, landing on the moon, Mars, building bases in outer space, etc., each plan can be called grand enough.

Just after the internal meeting, the old man invited Xu Chuan to a small meeting.

Not only high-level officials attended the meeting, but also several academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After understanding the purpose of the meeting, Xu Chuan laughed dumbfoundedly, and explained:

"I think everyone has misunderstood. Although I proposed this set of plans, the final situation is still undecided."

"Especially the ultimate goal of this set of plans, things like transforming Mars, this is just a direction, and even everyone can regard it as a dream."

"It is impossible for us to start this kind of project now, not to mention whether it can be realized, but the pressure on the economy is too great. And it is not a good thing to take too big a step. I suggest to do it little by little. "

After listening to Xu Chuan's explanation, another old man sitting across the conference table nodded and asked with a smile: "If this is the case, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied, "Personally, I suggest that we can start from two aspects."

"The first aspect is to restart manned spaceflight and develop space technology. This is the direction I recommend."

"Honestly speaking, the development of manned spaceflight is not something that starts from scratch. Even if I don't mention it, we still have our own lunar exploration project and a plan to explore Mars."

"The development of aerospace technology is not only the only way for the future, but also a necessary condition for us to maintain an international lead. After all, we cannot always live on the earth. With the development of the times, outward exploration is a must. path of."

"It's just that I hope that more resources can be invested in this in the future."

Hearing this, everyone in the office, whether it was the senior leaders or the invited academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, nodded in agreement.

Based on the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology, energy has been liberated to the greatest extent.

In addition to improving the productivity of the country, improving the national happiness index and life, the development of science and technology also needs to be paid attention to.

After all, whether technology is advanced or not is one of the core factors that determine a country's deterrence, strength, and international status.

Needless to say, Xu Chuan said that such a project as manned spaceflight is also a path that must be taken.

Not only the exploration and planning of the future, the development of manned spaceflight technology can also be applied to many other fields, such as military, civil aviation, communications, information and other fields.

Sitting next to Xu Chuan, the old man nodded and said, "As for the development of manned spaceflight and aerospace technology, this is a journey that must be taken. As for the specific investment and resources, as well as the direction and route, these follow-up will have to be determined." to discuss."

After a slight pause, the old man continued to ask: "Besides aerospace, is there another direction?"

Xu Chuan: "If we say that the development of manned spaceflight and aerospace technology is from the direction of applied technology, then the second thing is to develop from the direction of theoretical technology."

"Application and theory are the two cores of the development of technology and science. If either one is missing, technology and science will become cripples walking on one leg."

"As for the second direction, I am more inclined to the theoretical direction, building a large-scale strong particle collider of our own."

Hearing this, there was a slight commotion in the office.

In fact, it's not like nobody mentioned this in the early years.

For example, the Academy of Fine Arts at Peking University and the Academy of Fine Arts at Nanking University in Jinling have also suggested to their superiors to build a large-scale strong particle collider.

Not only the research in the field of high-energy physics and particle physics, but the scientific and technological achievements of the large-scale strong particle collider have been applied in a large number of research fields such as medicine and biomedicine, aerospace, safety, industry 4.0, cultural heritage, and energy technology. results.

These application fields involve all aspects of the main technologies and are widely used.

Just like CERN, in beam instruments, superconducting magnet technology, ultra-low temperature cooling technology, ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry, radiation protection and monitoring, radio frequency and sensors, superconducting technology, etc. etc are top notch.

Of course, there are those who support the construction, and there are naturally those who oppose it.

The famous physicist, Mr. Yang Lao, known as the first person in the physics world today, belongs to the school that publicly opposes it.

The reason is simple. On the one hand, it costs a huge amount of money to build a large-scale strong particle collider, and on the other hand, there is a shortage of domestic physics talents.

It is not that there are no physics talents in China. Many physics professors and researchers go out every year, but many of them immigrate after they go out.

Not being able to retain advanced talents is the biggest problem and regret at present.

Based on these two considerations, Mr. Yang stood up against the construction of a large-scale strong particle collider. He believes that even if it is built, it is very likely to be a wedding dress for foreign physicists.

As for whether to build such large-scale scientific research equipment, the high-level executives also seriously considered, and finally decided to postpone it later.

After all, the country of Hua at the beginning was indeed not considered rich, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing for me to spend 200 billion to build a large-scale strong particle collider.

Now that the old matter is brought up again, it was proposed by Academician Xu who has made great contributions to the country, so naturally some commotion is inevitable.

Sitting next to Xu Chuan, the old man raised his eyelids and said, "Can you tell me your opinion?"

For him, the construction of a large and strong particle collider is actually supported, but he needs a reason to convince others.

After all, it is not something he alone can decide to use so much money and resources to build a device that is close to purely scientific research.

Xu Chuan nodded, and continued: "I personally think it is necessary to build a large-scale strong particle collider."

"First, this kind of large-scale scientific research equipment can cultivate talents for us, and it is not limited to the pure field of physics. This can be seen from CERN. At the same time, the completed collider will also attract us. Physicists and talents from other countries.”

"Second, after the completion of the controllable nuclear fusion technology, we have enough ability to complete this project. In the process of construction, the development of various technologies involved, such as superconducting materials, ultra-low temperature cooling technology, Technologies such as ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry are not only applicable to colliders."

"Taking them out individually can also greatly promote the development of other fields."

"Third, after the completion of controllable nuclear fusion technology, in the future development, we will inevitably have competition with other countries in other fields, whether in the field of applied science or theoretical science, there will definitely be compete."

"And instead of expecting someone else to always open the door to you, it's better to own something that belongs to you. Whether it's a person, or a device."

"Fourth, if there are any clear breakthroughs and development directions in the field of high-energy physics, dark matter and dark energy are the core of them."

"While we may have a hard time taking advantage of them now, it's undeniable that this is entirely new territory. If we don't have a large, powerful particle collider of our own, will we be left behind?"

"In the past few decades, because we have not kept up with the pace of the times, we have caught up with several generations. And the hardships we have suffered, the blood and tears we have shed, the humiliation and grievances we have suffered, no one will Want to do it again."

Xu Chuan's words made everyone in the meeting room silent for a while.

In the past few decades, no one knows better than the people who are sitting here today the hardships they have endured, the blood and tears they have shed. It was a painful experience and memory.

In the meeting room, after a moment of silence, the old man said, "Thank you Academician Xu for your suggestions, then we will seriously consider these suggestions."
