Great Country Academician

The manned spaceflight and lunar exploration project exchange meeting held in Beijing, accompanied by news reports, quickly spread throughout the Internet.

Unexpected but reasonable, most of the news reported by the media was related to Xu Chuan.

"Warmly celebrate the manned spaceflight and lunar exploration project exchange meeting, the well-known scholar Xu Chuan will serve as the chief technical advisor!" "

"The First Manned Spaceflight and Lunar Exploration Project Exchange Conference was held in Beijing, led by science and technology, and hundreds of enterprises and responsible persons participated. "

The headlines and content of the institutional media are quite serious.

As for those self-media or marketing accounts that are reposted, the headlines will come as soon as they attract attention.

"Shock! The chief technical advisor of the moon landing project turned out to be him! "

"Nantianmen Project! Space carrier! Interstellar Mining! Our mission is the sea of ​​stars! "

"The father of controllable nuclear fusion sets foot in the aerospace field, a new era of aerospace is coming! "

"Shock! The father of controllable nuclear fusion is going to fly to the moon palace! "

It has to be said that in China, or even in the whole world, the popularity of Xu Chuan's name or news related to him is undoubtedly the highest in the scientific research circle.

In the past, such similar conferences were generally quiet on the Internet. Except for netizens in specific fields who would take the initiative to pay attention, others would not notice at all.

But this time, what is surprising is that this meeting even rushed to the top three in the hot search, attracting discussions from many netizens.

【Moon Landing Project! Great, my country! 】

【Excited! Go up and see if there are any footprints, Stars and Stripes or something like that! 】

[Is it possible that this is the first moon landing in human history? (dog head!)]

[Compared to landing on the moon, I think what is more awesome is the mass catapult and the Nantianmen project! I really want to do it, tsk tsk, I will fly to the United States and throw a meteorite on the head, cool! 】

[Let’s go to the small island country! 】

[The Nantianmen plan has actually come true, I never thought I could see this in my lifetime. 】

[I'm more curious why the chief designer is not Chuan Shen? 】

[Chuan Shen is not in the aerospace field, but he has served as the chief consultant, this is also very awesome, okay, it means that he has the final say on technology! 】

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, but in reality, the governments of various countries were also overwhelmed by this sudden news.

As Huaguo restarted its manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects, relevant information has attracted considerable attention around the world.

Atlantic coast, in the white house.

The elderly president was holding a newspaper in his hand.

The above title is well-known "Hua Guo restarts manned spaceflight, will the cold war in the new era start again?" "

It has to be said that this title is indeed very lethal to the United States.

After all, the Cold War of the last century was one of the most glorious histories they have ever created.

At that time, they successfully disintegrated a huge red monster into dozens of countries today, and there was no longer any threat to them.

But now, the change of the new era has started again. This time, can they still win?

Just thinking about it, William Joseph Burns, the director of the CIA, Bill Nelson, the director of the NASA Space Agency, and Halifax Bruce, the director of the Princeton Plasma Laboratory, came to the office together.

"What do you think of the news announced by Hua Guo?" The elderly president asked, putting down the newspaper in his hand.

Bill Nelson, director of NASA's space agency, took the lead in saying: "This is not good news. They restarted the manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects, and announced plans to build large-mass projectors and space carriers. The goal is very likely to be on the moon. Abundant helium-III resources."

"According to our investigation, under the leadership of that Professor Xu, Huaguo's newly established Xinghai Research Institute is conducting research on the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion. We must keep up with the pace and increase investment in the aerospace field."

For the NASA space agency, whether the news is true or not, they will say it is true.

After all, this is a good time to increase the funding of the grandparents of Congress in the aerospace field.

"Second-generation controllable fusion is not so easy to research, and you don't need to worry about that at all." Aside, Halifax Bruce, the director of the Princeton Plasma Laboratory, quickly said.

Although Hua Guo announced the restart of the manned spaceflight and lunar exploration project in an unexpected high-profile manner this time, it is completely different from the previous low-key work, and even announced such sci-fi things as the large-mass catapult and the Nantianmen project.

But in the eyes of insiders, these are actually almost impossible to do.

The NASA space agency said that the opponent's target is the abundant helium-3 resources on the moon, which is even more nonsense.

Although the first generation of deuterium-tritium controllable nuclear fusion technology has been solved, the problem of the second generation of controlled nuclear fusion is much bigger than that of the first generation.

What Bill Nelson said was just asking for more research funding for NASA.

But for a country, the total amount of scientific research funding is capped.

The NASA space agency has taken more funds, and the PPPL plasma physics laboratory in Princeton will naturally get much less.

You must know that in the first two months, when Huaguo completed the ignition of the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project, the United States also quickly launched its own controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project.

The spherical NSTX device in the PPPL laboratory is the closest fusion device to the Fuxiao fusion device modified by Professor Xu in Huaguo.

Coupled with the powerful mathematical ability of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and Professor Fefferman's research on the NS equation, the American Energy Department invested a large amount of scientific research funds, more than one billion meters of gold, into the pppl plasma laboratory middle.

Including the follow-up Super Demonstration Reactor project built in Washington State, PPPL Laboratory can also get a big share of this super project with an investment of over 10 billion meters of gold through its original technology accumulation.

But if the United States is drawn into the space race of the manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects, those grandfathers in Congress will definitely redistribute budgets and funds for existing scientific research projects.

In the case that the basic disk of controllable nuclear fusion has been lost, if the aerospace field fails again, the voice of the outside world may be even more unpleasant.

So even if the controllable nuclear fusion project is urgently needed by the United States, as the world's number one aerospace power, they may not be able to bear being caught up or even surpassed by the Chinese in this field.

Therefore, it is estimated that the allocation of funds to NASA is a foregone conclusion.

However, Halifax Bruce does not want the amount of funding too large.

After all, there are too many funds allocated in the aerospace field, and the controllable nuclear fusion side will naturally get less.

Hearing what Halifax Bruce said, NASA's Bilson immediately looked over, stared at him and asked, "But that Professor Xu is leading the lunar exploration project, can you guarantee that he can't do it?"

"Don't forget the matter of controllable nuclear fusion. If it happens again in the aerospace field, who will be responsible then?"

Hearing that troublesome name, everyone in the office frowned involuntarily.

Halifax Bruce coughed lightly, and said, "My friend, you don't need to be so excited."

After a slight pause, he continued: "As far as I know, that Professor Xu is only serving as a technical consultant, not the general manager like controllable nuclear fusion."

"If the news I received is correct, Huaguo will build a large-scale strong particle collider. This was proposed by that Professor Xu. I believe his attention should be focused on this."

"Am I right? Commissioner William."

As he spoke, he looked at William Joseph Burns, the director of the CIA.

Across the desk, the elderly president also looked over.

William Joseph Burns nodded, and said: "According to the information we have collected, Huaguo is indeed determined to build a large-scale strong particle collider, and they are already communicating with CERN."

"However, the manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects are also in their plans. And according to intelligence, that Professor Xu is not only in charge of the vain position of chief consultant."

"The Xinghai Research Institute newly established by Huaguo is led by that Professor Xu. According to the information obtained, their manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects are very likely to be carried out in the Xinghai Research Institute, or to cooperate with it. .”

Hearing this, the elderly president thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Director William shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, and it's not my responsibility. No matter which field you invest in, I have no objection."

"However, I recommend increasing investment in the CIA."

"After all, no matter what, we have to know what the opponent is doing. This is the foundation, and we can formulate a countermeasure plan."

Hearing this, the old president couldn't help rubbing his temples.

There is no meaningful opinion at all, and he is here to ask for funds!

PS: Ask for a monthly pass for the second watch!
