Chen Nian knew that after Sebastian saw the report Eichendorf sent him, he couldn't help but want to come and see it in person.

The reason is of course not only because of the novelty and precision of this report, but more importantly, he hides the most critical part of the data.

Without this part of data, the whole logic cannot be established, and the exquisite reasoning and argumentation cannot be closed.

No scholar can resist such a temptation—or provocation.

It's like putting a lottery ticket that is about to win in front of a poor and down-to-earth ordinary person, and then telling him that he can only get the last number by coming in person.

The research based on CFETR is a treasure that should never exist in this world. When its light starts to shine in this world, who can resist the temptation to open the treasure chest?

Therefore, although it took a lot of effort to spend these 50 source points, it was really worth it.

You must know that the system does not have the function of directly analyzing the theory. In order to obtain the desired data, Chen Nian had to continue to reason based on the remaining memories of his previous life, and designed a set of plasma control systems that did not exist in this world. experimental device.

This almost wiped out all the knowledge he had in the field of plasma control, and it also took several days of time for the relevant professional team.

However, all efforts were not in vain.

Sebastian finally accepted EAST's invitation and confirmed that he will arrive in China in two weeks.

He did not completely let go of his work at the Max Planck Laboratory, but applied to Huaxia officials to organize the project as a "part-time job".

After discussion, the EAST team agreed to his proposal.

After all, there is still a long way to go from the theory of plasma control to the actual operation, which will not affect Huaxia's exclusivity and superiority in nuclear fusion application technology.

Thus, Sebastian's "introduction" plan was finalized in this way.

After solving a big talent problem, Chen Nian also relaxed.

In the next time, what he needs to do is to organize a "teaching team" as soon as possible according to the discussion with Chen Guo before, and use the existing conditions to complete the running-in first.

In the office, Chen Nian opened the personnel list that Chen Guo had just handed over to him, and while flipping through it briefly, he asked:

"Do I have decision-making authority over this list?"

"Or in other words, what should I do if I want to replace someone on the list?"

Hearing his words, Chen Guo replied:

"Just mark it directly on the personnel list."

"What you're asking is that you choose people yourself, and this list is just a reference."

"However, to be honest, all the personnel on the list have been repeatedly screened and optimized."

"Whether it is academic level, moral level or future potential, it has reached a relatively perfect balance."

"How should I put it—for example, we certainly hope to find those industry leaders with high academic levels as setters as much as possible, but the problem is that these people are generally too old, even if they can still continue to learn , but in the long-term output, it will face problems."

"In addition to the way you work, you don't really need too much input and interaction, so making an appropriate compromise is the best choice."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded slightly.

The superior's consideration is extremely practical and far-sighted.

They fully understand their "how to use it".

Yes, Chen Nian does need a huge amount of information and knowledge input, but once the basic information reaches the standard, his output no longer requires more complicated cooperation.

Therefore, the two links of "receiving education" and "education" are completely separated, and the allocation of personnel can naturally be completely separated.

"These lists...won't they be selected directly from the list of National Youth and Changjiang Scholars? Are they all so young?"

Chen Nian asked suspiciously.

The facts are indeed as he said, there are very few people over 40 years old in the entire list, and the limited few, it can be seen that they have specially selected seniors with high academic level to come to town.

"There is overlap, but not a sufficient condition."

"It is common for people who can be selected to win awards. Of course, it is not uncommon to be selected as National Youth and Changjiang Scholars."

"In addition to our age control conditions, the degree of overlap in this aspect appears to be relatively high."

"Understood."

Pausing for a moment, Chen Nian continued to ask:

"The proportion of people with overseas education background is a bit too high, can some be excluded?"

"Okay, but if you're worried about confidentiality, you can actually let it go."

"In terms of plasma, our previous scientific research level is relatively backward, and only returnees like them can absorb the latest technology and theory."

"For these personnel, we have conducted multiple rounds of review and screening, and the probability of problems is very low."

"In addition, as evidence, there is a fact that is very clear."

"That is, since these people have chosen to come back, they have already proved their reliability."

"There is a saying that nuclear fusion has no secrets, and every progress in it will be observed under a microscope."

"It is basically impossible to hinder our progress through 'technical espionage'"

Chen Guo didn't speak clearly, but Chen Nian already understood what he meant.

Yes, since there is no way to strike a blow to China's nuclear fusion scientific research progress through espionage means, the best strategy for the US side is nothing more than organizing these accomplished scholars to return to the country as much as possible.

Being able to choose to come back shows that their hearts are indeed here.

After sorting out the basic questions, Chen Nian began to carefully read the technical backgrounds of these candidates.

Compared with the strict official review in the early stage, his judgment method is relatively simple, that is, only to see whether the direction is forward-looking.

After a round of screening, very few people were excluded from his hands. The original list of 17 people was finally left with 13 people.

"Okay, just these people."

Chen Nian handed the checked list to Chen Guo, who took it, glanced at it roughly, and replied:

"Then it's settled."

"These personnel need a certain amount of time to prepare before they can be in place. After they are in place, they will communicate with you in a completely closed form."

"This may be a long process, and you will all be tested."

"If you want to cancel this plan midway, you can also ask at any time."

Hearing this, Chen Nian solemnly shook his head.

He replied:

"This plan will not be canceled - it may be suspended at some point, but it must not be cancelled."

A few days later, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Pan Qingwei was standing on the podium, holding a marker in one hand and a veteran cadre's teacup in the other, explaining the content of the course dryly to the students in the audience.

".So according to the previous experimental data, we can know that the key to variation lies in the nature of the collision operator. What we care about is the system in which the temperature of each component is unequal. From the perspective of the calculation of the transport coefficient, it is natural to assume that each component are close to thermal equilibrium."

This class is about the neoclassical transport theory of multicomponent plasmas, which involves a lot of complex calculations and assumptions, not to mention students who are new to this field, and even himself, sometimes talking about Will be sleepy.

Coupled with the hot and unbearable weather, the classroom atmosphere is really not very good.

Among the students in the audience who really listened carefully, they could not find 5 people. Most of them were either distracted or in a daze. Those who were a little better would try to memorize it, but after realizing that they were really helpless, they had no choice but to put down Pen.

Seeing this scene, Pan Qingwei couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

What can be done?

Scientific research is a long and difficult road. Most of the students sitting in this classroom came here because of some kind of romantic fantasy.

Before making a choice, they can't really understand the meaning of this choice, nor can they know what it means to themselves once they embark on this path.

Is this sad, or despicable?

not at all.

On the contrary, such a young man's heart is respectable, but in many cases, the young man often fails to find the sword that belongs to him.

Pan Qingwei took a sip of the tea in the cup and swept across the stage. After seeing that the most diligent students also started to doze off, he simply put down the marker pen in his hand, and then said:

"The content of today's class is indeed a bit too difficult. It is not an option for us to go on like this."

"So, I'm thinking about rearranging the content of the lecture, so let's stop here for now."

"Everyone go back and have a good rest, and think more about the things in the courseware."

"For the next class, at least each of us can understand what the words written in the book mean, okay?"

Hearing his words, the students in the audience responded one after another.

Of course, those who can enter this university are all arrogant, but to put it bluntly, arrogance cannot be eaten, let alone exchanged for amazing understanding.

All they can do is to follow the teacher's schedule and adjust their state as much as possible.

The class was over, and the students left one after another. After Pan Qingwei packed up the podium and his own materials, he also turned and walked out the door.

But just as he walked to the door, a man stood in front of him.

"Professor Pan, is it convenient for us to chat?"

Pan Qingwei saw the certificate in the man's hand at a glance, and this certificate came from an organization that had been circulated among top scholars for a long time, but he had never had the chance to see the real face.

Spark team.

His eyes lit up immediately, and after checking the authenticity of the documents, he quickly let the man and the other security personnel behind him into the classroom.

"Just chatting here?"

Pan Qingwei asked impatiently.

"Yes, just right here."

The man nodded, then continued:

"Professor Pan, I think you also know our identities very well, and you also know something about the organization we belong to."

"Then, we don't need to explain the background any more—let's get straight to the point."

"We have a project and would like to invite you to participate."

"This project will operate in a fully closed form. The closure period has not been determined yet, but for you, the longest period will not exceed three years."

"It's not convenient for me to disclose the specific content of the project to you here, nor is it convenient for me to make a routine with you."

"The information that can be informed is that it belongs to a key scientific research project."

"Here, we need to ask for your opinion first, are you willing to participate in such a project?"

Hearing the man's words, Pan Qingwei shook his head subconsciously, then he immediately reacted and said:

"I shake my head not unwillingly, I mean, the information you have provided is too broad for me to make a decision based on it."

"At least I have to know, what kind of responsibility and what kind of content will I be responsible for in this project?"

"certainly."

The man nodded and replied:

"What you will be responsible for is the transition from theory to application."

This sentence is still extremely short, but for Pan Qingwei, the amount of information is completely sufficient.

From theory to implementation combined with your own research direction, there is no doubt that it must be the core part of the EAST project.

In fact, he himself participated in the theoretical preparation of the EAST project, and has always wanted to follow up. It is believed that there is no suitable opportunity.

But now, the opportunity was in front of him.

Can you refuse?

Obviously impossible.

Almost without hesitation, Pan Qingwei answered:

"I would like to participate in the project!"

A few days later, Pan Qingwei boarded the plane to his destination.

He was surprised to find that he was not the only person sitting on this special plane.

There are 4 people in total, all of whom are experts in the direction of plasma control.

This made him firmer in his judgment, but the only thing that puzzled him was:

Why fly?

Does the EAST project have independent institutes in other cities? In other words, the technical center of the Xinghuo team is not in Hefei?

He tried to communicate with his other companions to obtain more information, but after some discussion, no one could give a convincing judgment.

It was not until the plane landed and walked out of the cabin that Pan Qingwei came to his senses.

He recognized the place.

Chengdu, the land of abundance.

"What are we doing here?"

he asked as if talking to himself.

However, no one answered.

After getting off the plane, everyone transferred to a special car and continued onwards. After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at their destination.

But this so-called destination surprised Pan Qingwei.

Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute.

what the hell?

How could he be thrown into Chengfei as a plasma engineer?

At this time, he was already full of question marks, but fortunately, his question was answered.

In one of Cheng Fei's offices, he saw a young face.

The owner of that face looked at the crowd with a smile and said:

"Welcome, I'm Chen Nian."

"As you know, this is where the tasks you have accepted are performed."

"You are probably confused and don't know what you are going to do."

"Actually, this task is very simple."

"Here, you will come into contact with the world's most advanced plasma control cutting-edge technology within a period of time in the future."

"You're going to learn it, understand it, and ultimately...use it on the EAST project."

"Is this process easy to understand?"

"If the Xinghuo team is a match, then you will become the tinder that lights the bonfire?"
