Top Student

Chen Pingqiu took the photo, looked at it carefully, nodded and said:

"That's right, this is a student from my laboratory. Why, could it be that... he stole the results of the laboratory?"

"To be precise, he learned about these results from you and leaked them out."

"From my mouth? Impossible! I never said that to him!"

When saying these words, Chen Pingqiu also felt a little lack of confidence.

Even Chen Pingqiu didn't remember very clearly what happened at the dinner table.

However, Chen Pingqiu still vaguely remembered that when he was drunk, he said some things that should not be said normally.

"Chen Pingqiu, it doesn't matter if you can't remember. Let's help you recall."

The interrogator found a recording and played it.

In the recording, one can clearly hear the words Chen Pingqiu said at the dinner table.

"Chen Pingqiu, is this your voice?"

Chen Pingqiu still wanted to quibble, but when the facts and evidence were in front of him, sophistry was meaningless.

"This ungrateful thing! Why did he leak this information to the Americans! This traitor!"

The way Chen Pingqiu spoke was filled with righteous indignation, and he completely shifted the responsibility away from himself.

"You have your sins, he has his own sins, don't worry, no one can do without."

"But I didn't mean it at all! Besides, I told them not to talk nonsense, I really didn't want to leak the news!"

"Whether it is intentional or not, this is a crime of leaking secrets. If you cooperate with us in handling the case, you will have a chance to deal with it lightly."

Facing the hard truth, Chen Pingqiu could only accept it and choose to cooperate.

After explaining all related issues, Chen Pingqiu still had a fluke mentality that he was exempted from punishment.

"Comrade police officer, I play an important role in several national projects. If I am not there, those projects cannot function normally. Please help me apply for the opportunity to do crime and meritorious service! You know the one who took the promise Xu You from the Bell Prize in Physics? I am his right-hand man in the group! Help me contact him and ask him to intercede for me!"

The police officers didn't know what kind of status Chen Pingqiu had in the project team.

"For your request, we will help you apply through normal procedures. But whether you have this opportunity is not up to us to decide."

If it is really the kind of scientist who can be decisive for a project, it is indeed possible to get such special treatment.

However, they didn't know whether Chen Pingqiu was worthy of such treatment with his ability.

...

"Finally succeeded!"

After many experiments, Xu You finally completed the preparation of a new material.

This material is mainly composed of tungsten. Due to the use of some special processes in the preparation process, it has better performance than ordinary metal tungsten.

Because in the nuclear fusion reaction, the internal temperature is very high, which can be as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

Even these high-temperature plasmas do not come into direct contact with the inner walls of the reactor.

But in the process of radiation, the inner wall of the reactor can also reach a very high temperature.

Such high temperatures may even melt steel in a short period of time.

Only materials with a very high melting point like tungsten can withstand this high-intensity thermal radiation.

The new material prepared by Xu You not only has a higher melting point than conventional metal tungsten.

At the same time, it also has ductility and toughness far exceeding that of metal tungsten.

It is very suitable as a material for the inner wall of a reactor.

If this material is applied to a new type of controllable nuclear fusion device.

Undoubtedly, the performance of this device will be greatly enhanced, and it will be a step closer to the practical controllable nuclear fusion.

Xu You did not rush to tell Deng Fu the news, but continued to measure the properties of this material, and studied its preparation and molding process in depth.

During the lunch break, Xu You received a message from Wu Jing.

"Protect all confidential information, and remember to be cautious in your words and deeds."

Xu You didn't know why Wu Jing would suddenly send such a message to herself.

However, in connection with what happened a few days ago.

Xu You basically understood what Wu Jing meant.

"Understood, I will pay attention."

In fact, when he was in school, Xu You had always been a cautious person. Except for what he had to say, he was not very good at chatting with others.

After gradually growing up, Xu You also kept this habit.

Xu You had a feeling that he might not see Chen Pingqiu in the project team in the future.

Xu You felt a little regretful about this, but Xu You also believed that he would be able to solve the work left by Chen Pingqiu.

After fully understanding the various properties of this new type of material, and being familiar with various technologies such as material preparation and molding.

Xu You found Deng Fu and explained his achievement to Deng Fu.

"It's really worthy of being the pillar of China's talent, who has contributed such a key technology in such a short period of time!"

Deng Fu also seemed very excited about Xu You's achievement.

"Our new type of controllable nuclear fusion device, let's use this material as the inner wall of the reactor. I compared it with the previous inner wall material. Whether it is melting point, or ductility, hardness, and toughness, this new type of material is very good. Be better."

"Well, we have also completed the site selection for our nuclear device experiment base, and some components are already being processed. The higher authorities have great expectations for us. Once the device is completed, we will challenge to a higher level."

After saying this, Xu You remembered the scene where Chen Pingqiu was suddenly taken away during the previous meeting.

"By the way, Academician Deng. Do you know, Professor Chen Pingqiu, what happened?"

When Chen Pingqiu was mentioned, Deng Fu couldn't help shaking his head.

"Hey! Chen Pingqiu's crime this time is too big. It has a certain impact on our entire strategic plan."

Seeing how angry Deng Fu looked, Xu You knew that what happened this time was indeed a big deal.

In Deng Fu's narration, Xu You understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Professor Chen Pingqiu... is so self-respecting. Also, that student is so stupid!"

A strong sense of anger filled Xu You's heart.

The secret that so many people worked so hard to guard was leaked out so easily.

And the reason for it is even more dumbfounding.

"Since the incident has already happened, we can only reduce the impact of this incident as much as possible. The matter of the 202K superconducting material can no longer be hidden. Fortunately, the matter of the new controllable nuclear fusion device should not have been leaked. .”
