I Am the President of the University

People always say that you must never forget your original intention.

It's easy to say, but it's so difficult to do.

Money, status, honor...these are all temptations in life.

Few people can resist this.

Whether it is a championship, a company, or a university, there are some default rules. If you refuse to join in with them, you will be squeezed out.

It's like when 11g and Professor Rao were selected as academicians in the same year. Both of them had no problem with their abilities, but they were dismissed for some reasons and were told that they would be selected in the next session.

The former chose to be patient, while the latter directly criticized the Chinese Academy of Sciences and exposed the shady secrets of the Academy of Sciences' academician selection, which led to Professor Rao's lifelong relationship with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Professor Zhao Yong is undoubtedly the former.

But at this moment, he suddenly woke up.

What is your original intention for studying?

Read for the rise of China!

He was born in 1960, which was the most difficult period in China.

Not having enough to eat is not a rare phenomenon, but a norm. \b

After spending those ten years, Zhao Yong took the college entrance examination and was lucky enough to pass it in one go.

After entering university, Zhao Yong did not dare to relax.

As one of the earliest batches of Chinese college students, every student is a treasure to the country.

They shoulder the hope of a prosperous and powerful country, so how can they dare to relax?

But, how did I become like this...

Professor Zhao Yong's face was extremely hot. He looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I remembered that I was still on the plane and the destination was Ludao, and I suddenly felt regretful.

"Since Guanghua's hyperloop project has been approved by Mr. Qi, then the other party's research must have made some breakthroughs." Zhao Yong murmured.

Several times before, he wanted to apply for a major national scientific research project with the vacuum hyperloop, but every time he met with experts at the expert seminar, he was strongly opposed by Qi Lao, who believed that the time was not right and that doing it now would only consume national power.

At that time, Zhao Yong was very angry and felt that he was being targeted by Mr. Qi.

And that Mr. Qi is a meritorious service to the Republic. He has devoted his whole life to the construction of China's railways. He has never made any money. He still lives in the two-bedroom apartment assigned by his work unit back then.

It’s not that there is no money, the country has never been stingy with such merit. \b

But no matter how much money the state rewarded Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi donated it.

Qi Lao only said that he was very satisfied with his current life, and there was someone who needed this money more than him.

There have been many people with such noble moral character in the history of the Republic, such as Mr. Shouchang back then and Grandpa Yuan today.

"Mr. Qi, has the time come now?" Zhao Yong smiled bitterly, feeling really uncomfortable.

The hyperloop that I have been studying for 12 years has been recognized by Mr. Qi, and the one from Guanghua...

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

But thinking about the person who single-handedly made photon screens and optical cores, it seems understandable that he made the hyperloop.

After all, the other party studied at MIT and obtained four doctorates in four years. Such a rare genius would understand any breakthrough.

After all, in the past history, no one from MIT has been able to achieve such results.

Oh, if you don't count Tony Stark.

Zhao Yong sat in his seat and looked at his watch, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Seeing that we are only one hour away from Ludao Island, we can't get off the plane halfway, but what should we do...

Come to the other party's door to argue?

Isn’t that self-humiliating?

After thinking about it, Zhao Yong sighed, his face looking very worried.

"This is a big shame."

at the same time. \b

After the seven o'clock news program reported it, major official media also made efforts. For a while, the popularity of the hyperloop directly reached the top of the hot searches on Weibo and Zhihu.

There are even three hyperloop topics in the top five most searched topics on Weibo.

1. Hyperloop project establishment

2. Hyperloop with speeds up to 4,000/hour is coming soon

5. How much black technology is hidden in Guanghua University?

Netizens are shocked every day by the news from Guanghua University.

"No, I remember isn't Guanghua University currently working on MR smart glasses and lithium-air batteries? This hyperloop doesn't look good no matter how you look at it. Is this crossing the line and causing trouble?"

“Guanghua University is awesome! (I don’t know how many times I shouted, but I’m tired)”

"My friends and I were all shocked. The speed is 4,000 kilometers per hour??? Why not make a mediocre airplane? We can just take the hyperloop!"

"Wait, how do you breathe in a vacuum environment?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? The hyperloop has been realized, and you are still worried about not being able to breathe? At worst, everyone can have an oxygen tank. (Manual funny)"

"Oxygen tank? 666, two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks unexpectedly appeared in the small comment area. You can all think of the problem, but the experts can't think of it?"

"Speaking of which, if we build this hyperloop, the cost of building the vacuum pipeline should be quite high, right? In fact, I would say that the best construction environments for the vacuum hyperloop are the moon and Mars, so just start the era of interstellar immigration! (Evil-eyed smile) "

"The moon is out. I think you really want to go to heaven..."

"No, no, no, do you really believe it? Even if I think about it with my feet, I think it's fake! I think Chen Hao from Guanghua University is the American Musk, a huge liar! Building a vacuum hyperloop? Still It would be better to blow up the Himalayas with nuclear bombs and use the warm air from the Indian Ocean to turn the Taklimakan Desert into a forest!"

There are mixed reviews in the comment area, and there are many voices questioning Guanghua University’s hyperloop project. After all, it is too scary.

The leap from a high-speed rail with a speed of 350 km/h to 4,000 km/h is too big. Even the initial speed of 1,500 km/h is astonishing.

In particular, the vacuum pipeline technology involved is still immature. \b

…

New York, USA.

Just as China enters late night, it's still morning in New York.

Going to work, going to school, going to school, everything was the same as usual, until a piece of news came from the other side of the ocean, causing an uproar.

American netizens were even more "excited" and turned into keyboard warriors to post.

"F**K, vacuum hyperloop? It must be fake news! How could it be conquered by the Chinese? I don't believe it!"

"4,000 kilometers per hour?! How much resistance needs to be overcome?! Power requirements, pipeline strength, high cost?! It is basically difficult for humans to achieve it in the short term, let alone China!"

"I would like to ask how the safety problem is solved? Planes can still fly after an earthquake. What safety measures can be taken to stop the hyperloop? And how to brake in an emergency while driving? You must know that at extremely high speeds Driving will kill you instantly!”

"Only our great United States can conquer the Hyperloop. Everyone knows that the Chinese like to brag."

There are also netizens who enjoy watching the fun and don’t mind it.

"It's so interesting. If the hyperloop can be commercialized, wouldn't Boeing be in trouble? Tsk tsk."

Finally, of course, “insiders” are indispensable.

“As a practitioner in related industries, let me briefly share my personal views.

I personally have little hope for this mode of transportation. why? In a word, cost!

First of all, vacuum pipelines are difficult to maintain and are greatly affected by geology. In the event of earthquakes, water damage, etc., their safety will be greatly compromised;

Secondly, to maintain the vacuum state, the operating cost of the air pump system is very high. A simple estimate of the cost of a line that can easily run hundreds of kilometers is terrifying;

Also, the transportation volume is not large. The cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline is restricted, and the length of the transfer relay station is restricted. Under various conditions, the transportation volume is small and uneconomical;

In the end, this thing really has no advantages compared to aircraft! Supersonic passenger planes have been around since the last century. The top speed of the Concorde supersonic passenger plane is Mach 2.04 (2499 kilometers/hour). Is it not faster than this 1500 kilometers/hour? "

Apple headquarters.

After listening to the assistant's report, Cook looked a little strange and asked the assistant: "Are you sure this is true? The technical requirements of the vacuum hyperloop are not low."

"BOSS, we have confirmed the authenticity of the information. There are changes in the other party's bank, and they should be mobilizing funds."

After dismissing his assistant, Cook couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

"Why did Guanghua University go to build the hyperloop? What on earth is it doing?" Cook frowned.

I really can’t figure it out. Isn’t it more profitable to develop optical cores than to build this hyperloop?

And, can it really be made?

SpaceX Corporation.

Crazy laughter suddenly sounded in an office.

"Haha, I knew a hyperloop could be built!"

Musk is known as a "technology madman", naturally because of his crazy plans. For example, the "Starlink" project was sprayed bloody by netizens around the world a few years ago. Even netizens in his country don't believe it much, but who would have thought It actually happened.

But the hyperloop project is not going so smoothly.

In 2013, he proposed the hyperloop plan at a technology conference, believing that the hyperloop could transport passengers over long distances at an ultra-high speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, and later established the Hyperloop Technologies (HTT).

It's just a pity that even though his PPT was wonderful, he didn't get the support of the American White House.

It was not until 2017 that the 310 km/h test of the vacuum hyperloop was completed, which was far from the 1,200 km/h speed he proposed in 2013.

Even this year, the hyperloop test is progressing slowly, even causing dissatisfaction among many shareholders.

But things are different now. There has been a breakthrough in China, which proves that the hyperloop is feasible!

He is not wrong!

The laughter died down and Musk grew restless.

"No, I have to go to China to reach cooperation with the other party!"

Boeing Company.

As the CEO of Boeing, David Calhoun was in a very unhappy mood and was greeting someone in the office.

"Farke!"

"Fake Squid!"

"Damn Chinese!"

The world's four major aircraft manufacturers are Airbus in Europe, Boeing in the United States, Bombardier in Canada (their high-speed rail technology is also very powerful, one of the four high-speed rail giants mentioned in the previous chapter) and Embraer.

The latter two are ignored, but the first two are the strongest.

In particular, the American Boeing Company is a leader in the global aerospace industry and one of the largest manufacturers of civil and military aircraft in the world.

Boeing not only produces civil aviation aircraft, but also produces electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launchers and other businesses.

It's just a pity that Boeing, as the oldest company, has not been having a good time in recent years. The main reason is that Airbus in Europe has developed too rapidly. Since the past few years, Airbus has surpassed Boeing in terms of delivery and contract ordering in the passenger aircraft market. It surpassed Boeing to become the world's largest manufacturer of commercial airliners.

Well, now, China is toying with the hyper-high-speed rail again. Once this is realized, let alone Boeing, the entire civil aviation field will be affected!

unless……

Calhoun wandered around the office, his eyes flickering, and he was faced with a difficult decision.

After a long time, his eyes became fierce.

"It's time to restart the B2707 program!"

Only magic can fight magic!

Ordinary passenger planes with a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour are no match for hyperloop, but if it is a supersonic passenger plane, it is hard to say.

The supersonic passenger aircraft was born during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Not only the United States and the former Soviet Union participated in this space "competition", but also the United Kingdom and France.

At the end of December 1968, the Soviet Union successfully built the supersonic aircraft Tu-144 and successfully tested it.

In March 1969, the "Concorde" supersonic aircraft jointly developed by Britain and France successfully made a test flight over Toulouse, France. In January 1976, Concorde entered commercial service.

Boeing also had a supersonic passenger aircraft program in the 1960s: the B2707.

But in the end the project was canceled in 1971.

Because the price-performance ratio of supersonic passenger planes is so low, the ticket price is as high as 9,000 US dollars (in the 1960s and 1970s)!

It will also produce sonic booms, causing very large noise pollution to residents during the flight, which has severely restricted the use range of this supersonic passenger aircraft.

In 2003, the Concorde, the only operating aircraft in the world, retired after completing its last flight. The popular supersonic passenger aircraft has since withdrawn from the stage of history.

But today, if the world's major aircraft manufacturers want to avoid bankruptcy, they must restart their supersonic passenger aircraft plans, otherwise civil aviation will be impacted by the hyperloop in the next twenty years!

Just as Calhoun made his decision, Chen Hao, the culprit responsible for the turmoil in the world's civil aviation, was staring at a blue coat in a daze.

“A random item gave me a blue jacket???”

However, when he thought about the products produced by the system, there should be no ordinary products. When he looked at the attributes of the items, he raised his eyebrows.

"interesting."
