The top student must be diligent

Even in terms of funding, academicians may not necessarily have more funding than Xiao Yi. The Science Island Laboratory's funding is ranked among the best in the country.

As for making money...

That would be even more self-inflicted.

I didn't listen to what Musk said. Xiao Yi could even surpass him in the future if he just wanted to.

"Now that I have said that, nuclear fusion has also been researched. What are you going to study next? People on the Internet say that you will work on rockets next. Is it true?"

Li Jiangan said.

Xiao Yi laughed, waved his hand and said, "No, no, researching things like rockets is not that urgent for me."

"After all, you invited me to visit EAST, but no one from the space agency has invited me to visit Tianwen-3 yet."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi said narrowly: "When you invited me to participate in EAST and asked me to light the fire myself, I am very knowledgeable."

Li Jiangan laughed, not feeling embarrassed, and said: "Anyway, you are here now, and nuclear fusion has been achieved. What will happen if you discover it?"

Recalling this incident, he couldn't help but sigh at his original wisdom.

In order to invite Xiao Yi to be interested in nuclear fusion, they specially invited Xiao Yi to visit them and let Xiao Yi light the fire himself.

They are reluctant to let go of their children, not to mention they are not considered "children" to them.

Now, it seems that the goal has been achieved.

As for this matter, he and Zhao Zhanyou revealed this matter when they were interviewed by reporters during the half-hour "exclusive interview".

The reporter who interviewed them at that time was still Xiao Sa, and he summed it up: "So, as long as there is a problem that we cannot solve, then as long as General Master Xiao is interested in this problem, it will be done, right?"

Then, as the news was broadcast that night, the incident sparked a nationwide discussion and became a hot search term at the time.

Xiao Yi shrugged, okay, he did gradually "take the bait" at first.

However, the most important thing is probably the dream.

But the question came back, what should he start researching next?

He really hasn't thought about this issue carefully during this time, and he really should think about it now.

It stands to reason that now that his perfect engineering and material mastery have been upgraded, the best next research is to try something with new effects, but now he really has no interest in studying such problems anymore. .

Um……

"Maybe I should go back to math for a while?"

He began to think.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door again.

"Please come in." Xiao Yi took a look, who is here now?

Then, as the door opened, Director Liu came in.

Li Jiangan said: "Hey, Director Liu came just in time. I was talking about you with Xiao Yi just now, and I was wondering what instructions I would give next."

Director Liu chuckled and said, "I can't talk about instructions. Now I'm here to ask for advice."

He walked to the water dispenser nearby, poured a glass of water from a disposable cup, took a sip, and then asked: "Okay, two chief engineers, this time I am specifically here to ask you about the next few questions." suggested.”

"The first one is the issue of expansion."

"With our current technology, is it possible to expand?"

This first question is indeed the key question.

After all, once the demonstration reactor is built, it will always be necessary to start building the second, third, and even more reactors.

Regarding this question, Xiao Yi directly answered: "Of course, after all, the purpose of building our sun-made reactor is to provide reference for new reactors. As long as the material issues can be guaranteed, the engineering issues can be solved in accordance with Just use the experience of making a sun pile."

Director Liu said with a slight tangle at this time: "Then... we are currently planning to build new fusion reactors in several economic circles and the top five electricity-consuming provinces at the same time. When the time comes, can you please come again? Do you think it’s okay to serve as the chief designer?”

Xiao Yi's eyes widened: "So, I will be the chief designer of perhaps more than 10 projects at once?"

"Well, that's probably it."

Xiao Yi twitched the corners of his lips: "No donkey in Lamo can be used like this."

First of all, there are three economic circles, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. As for the top five provinces with major electricity consumption, it is even more outrageous.

If you want to build nuclear fusion power plants in these places and meet all the power supply, you must also consider the future growth of electricity consumption. The number of nuclear fusion reactors to be built at the same time must be more than 10.

Now you actually want him to serve as the chief engineer of so many projects at the same time?

Liu Cong directly spread his hands in a bachelor's manner: "Anyway, this is what happened. The leader above asked me to come, so you can tell me whether you agree or not! If you don't agree, help me think of a way, and I will go and follow the boss. Leaders reflect.”

Xiao Yi directly gave the middle finger to the leader in China's science and technology field.

Then he said: "It's okay for me to be a consultant. As for the specific design, you can find other people to do it. The UO structure is there and the whole world knows it. Coupled with the experience of building a solar reactor, It’s okay if you don’t need me at all.”

He then glanced at Li Jiangan next to him and said, "I think Academician Li is totally fine. He just needs to use his remaining energy."

Li Jiangan's eyes lit up at first, but then he quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't do it. I can't do more than a dozen projects with my old bones."

But then he changed the subject and said, "However, if you let me take charge of one or two projects, it's totally fine."

Although he is old and can retire at any time, he is still very willing to work hard on a project like this, so that he can finally make a name for himself.

Xiao Yi laughed and said to Liu Cong: "Look, to be honest, I am still worried about the next arrangements for so many researchers in our sun-making project. There are hundreds of people. I have to find a place for them to go. Bar?"

“Wouldn’t it be great to directly arrange for them to go to these new projects for guidance now?”

"And our Director Zhao will definitely be very willing."

Director Liu looked at Li Jiangan a few more times. Seeing the old academician's eyes becoming particularly enthusiastic, he finally nodded: "Okay, this method is good. I will give feedback to the superiors when I get back."

"However, if you say you can be a consultant, then we have a deal!"

Xiao Yi nodded: "No problem!"

"That's good! Then the second question." Director Liu said: "Is it possible for our technology to be updated in a short period of time?"

"This issue involves technology export matters."

"Update?"

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "This issue has been considered too early. Whether it needs to be updated depends on the demand. "

"Current technology is sufficient to meet society's power supply needs for hundreds or thousands of years."

"So the real replacement is probably the miniaturization of nuclear fusion."

"This technology..."

Xiao Yi shook his head slightly, "It will be a few more difficult levels."

"Okay, I understand." Director Liu nodded.

"Instead of thinking about this problem, I think we should look for more lithium mines." Xiao Yi said: "With the advent of controllable nuclear fusion, humankind's demand for lithium will become greater and greater."

Director Liu nodded again.

Xiao Yi began to think, and perhaps should start thinking about a more economical way to produce tritium.

…

Next, Director Liu asked a lot of relevant suggestions, and Xiao Yi also answered them in turn.

It involves issues in many aspects such as science and technology, society, people's livelihood, and international affairs.

Xiao Yi was a little helpless when he was asked. Is he treating him as a treasure chest?

But in the end, he still adhered to his identity as the chief designer and gave answers one by one.

Then, Director Liu left again.

After that, a few days passed.

The Lantern Festival is coming soon. After the Lantern Festival, the workers who have returned to work have returned to their posts, and the students have restarted their studies and returned to their schools.

At this time, the state finally made an announcement.

Preparations will begin to build nuclear fusion power stations in the three major economic circles, as well as the top five electricity-consuming provinces of Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Inner Mongolia.

At the same time, the original National Energy Commission was abolished and the National Energy Administration was established to manage all energy planning and development across the country. The National Fusion Corporation was also established to undertake the design, construction and maintenance of all nuclear fusion power plants in the future.

As for who will hold the major positions in this general bureau and one company, it is still open to debate, but two positions in both have been confirmed.

Lifelong general consultant and chief scientist, Xiao Yi.

Chapter 255 Hail Conjecture

HKUST, School of Mathematics.

After the Lantern Festival, school starts.

In Xiao Yi's office.

Xiao Yi was sitting at his desk, lost in thought.

At this moment, the office door was opened.

Then, Liang Qiushi walked in.

Liang Qiushi came in and saw Xiao Yi, and then immediately shouted: "Teacher!"
