Chapter 278 I Must Go to the Scene

"Professor Xu, I have admired you for a long time!"

"Professor Xu, I have heard of your name for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet you."

"Professor Xu is our top expert in materials science in Xia State. Thank you to Professor Xu for his contribution to the project!"

Facing everyone's praise, Xu Zhou didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only keep smiling awkwardly.

Before meeting these experts, Xuzhou had been thinking about how to greet these experts. After all, he was only a junior compared to other experts.

Unexpectedly, these experts were so enthusiastic, and they became the center of attention when they met for the first time, as if they themselves were the younger generations.

"It seems that what Ning Chen said... is really the truth." Xu Zhouxin said.

However, Xu Zhou also knew in his heart that the reason why they respected him so much was mainly because of Ning Chen's face.

However, my contribution to the project was far less than that of Ning Chen. At most, it was just not holding Ning Chen back.

After getting to know each other, everyone sat down together and talked about new steel materials.

Although this experiment was led by Ning Chen, after the experiment, Xu Zhou also reviewed the entire experimental process in detail and fully understood every detail of the entire experiment.

Through further conversations, everyone realized that Xuzhou was indeed one of the country's top materials science experts, as the legend said.

Of course, Xu Zhou still looks inferior next to Ning Chen. After all, Ning Chen's academic level is world-class, and he has scientific research capabilities in many different disciplines. He is completely unmatched by other experts.

After several days of discussion, everyone carefully discussed every detail of this research and determined the feasibility of its application.

"Teacher Ning, Teacher Xu, we think this new type of steel material is ready to enter the application stage of research. If everything goes well, our next generation aircraft carrier can use this new type of steel material!"

This new type of steel material has higher strength and better toughness, which can enable the aircraft carrier to bear greater loads and impact forces, ensuring the overall stability and safety of the aircraft carrier.

Good corrosivity also allows the aircraft carrier to travel in harsher environments, effectively resisting the corrosion and oxidation of seawater, and greatly extending the overall service life of the aircraft carrier.

In addition, this new type of steel material has many other advantages, and these will greatly improve the performance of the aircraft carrier.

"Great, we all have the same idea. I hope our steel materials can be applied as soon as possible. Teacher Xu and I are also willing to go to the site and participate in the research on the application of steel materials."

Since the mass production research of steel materials needs to be carried out in steel plants, Ning Chen and Xu Zhou will definitely go to the site.

At this time, Luo Yi said to Ning Chen:

"By the way, Teacher Ning, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Xuzhou realized that it was not convenient for him to listen to the chat between Luo Yi and Ning Chen, so he excused himself and left temporarily.

"Teacher Ning, I'm afraid I still need your guidance on some details regarding the research on land-based nuclear reactors. Of course, Teacher Ning, you don't need to go to the site in person, you just need to give some opinions online."

Even though safety assurance work was done very carefully during the construction of land-based nuclear reactors, no one wanted Ning Chen to take this risk.

If Ning Chen is really affected by this, it will be a huge loss to Xia State and even the entire world.

"Okay, let me know the latest situation first."

With that said, Ning Chen and Luo Yi came to another room and checked out the latest progress of the onshore nuclear reactor.

Considering various factors, the construction site of this onshore nuclear reactor was chosen in a relatively remote location in Qiong Province.

All current construction work is carried out strictly in accordance with Ning Chen's design plan.

However, during the actual construction, some problems that we had not expected before appeared, and this also affected the progress of the entire project.

"If this continues...then the construction time of the nuclear aircraft carrier may also be delayed due to this."

Soon, Ning Chen realized that these problems might be difficult to solve online.

If you want to complete the construction of a nuclear aircraft carrier as soon as possible, you must go to the site in person to find out the root causes of these problems and find corresponding solutions.

"With Xiaozhi here, there shouldn't be any safety risks, right?" Ning Chenxin said.

If Ning Chen goes to the scene, he will definitely take Xiao Zhi with him, which will make it easier for Ning Chen to carry out various tasks.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen solemnly said:

"Professor Luo, I think I still have to go to the onshore nuclear reactor site in Qiong Province in person. Only in this way can I more accurately find the causes of various problems and provide complete solutions."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Luo Yi subconsciously retorted:

"No, Teacher Ning, you cannot go to the site in person. This is something our entire project team must adhere to. Even if the project progresses slower, we must ensure your safety, Teacher Ning."

In fact, this is not just a requirement of the project team, but also an entire internal requirement.

Seeing that Luo Yi's attitude was a bit tough, Ning Chen did not rush to explain, but began to think calmly.

The reason why Ning Chen hopes that this nuclear aircraft carrier can be built early is not just to complete the system's tasks, but also really hopes that Xia State can have a domestically produced nuclear aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

Only in this way can Xia Guo have a better situation in the world and better ensure its own security.

Compared to these, Ning Chen felt that his own safety was still a relatively minor matter.

Moreover, Ning Chen is also very confident that with his strict plans, he will not encounter any risks even if he goes to the scene in person.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen said:

"Professor Luo, this is not a question of time, but a question of how the project can progress. If I had not gone to the site in person, the onshore nuclear reactor project might have been stuck here. As the leader of this project As a designer, it would be most appropriate for me to go to the scene..."

Listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Luo Yi's views gradually began to waver.

"But...Teacher Ning, if you go to the scene in person, how will you ensure your own safety?"

"Professor Luo, you can rest assured that if I didn't have full confidence in safety issues, I wouldn't have designed this nuclear power plant. Do you think that if I didn't even dare to go to the site as the designer? How can we safely allow this nuclear power plant to be mounted on our aircraft carrier?"

Ning Chen's words made Luo Yi fall silent for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

As Ning Chen said, if even Ning Chen, the designer, does not dare to go to the onshore nuclear reactor test site in person, it will be difficult to trust the safety of the nuclear device.

After thinking about it, Luo Yi said:

"Teacher Ning, I can't make a decision on this matter by myself. Even if I agree with your idea, I still need the consent of other people. I will report this matter to the superior first. If I receive any reply, I will I’ll contact you again.”

"Okay, then I'll trouble Professor Luo."

At this time, Ning Chen thought of something again and continued:

"Professor Luo, I think it's better for me to write a statement first, and then please help me hand it in."

Ning Chen felt that just an idea of ​​going to the scene might not be very convincing.

Ning Chen also needs to state more details to help him obtain approval to go to the site.

"Okay, then Teacher Ning, just wait until you finish writing the situation description and hand it over to me directly."

After returning home, Ning Chen conceived this situation statement.

Regarding Xiaozhi's existence and the fact that he could sense information through Xiaozhi, Ning Chen definitely couldn't reveal it easily.

But apart from that, Ning Chen still had enough reasons to convince them that he should go to the scene in person.

After some thinking, Ning Chen organized his thoughts and began to write this situation statement.

This time, Xu Zhou did not ask Ning Chen what he and Luo Yi said today like before.

Xu Zhou knew that this was something that was inconvenient for him to understand, and in this serious project, Xu Zhou would not be in any joking mood.

After writing the situation description, Ning Chen handed it to Luo Yi.

Seeing the situation statement written by Ning Chen, Luo Yi could also see how serious Ning Chen was about this matter this time.

Ning Chen did not print out the situation statement directly, but wrote it by hand, signed his name and fingerprinted it.

The situations listed by Ning Chen are also very convincing in supporting his decision to go to the onshore nuclear reactor site.

After submitting this description of the situation, Ning Chen waited for the reply from above.

A few more days passed, and Ning Chen finally waited for the reply from above.

"Teacher Ning, the superiors have agreed for you to go to the onshore nuclear reactor site in Qiong Province. However, there are still a few requirements that you must comply with."

Listening to these requirements mentioned by Luo Yi, Ning Chen also said that he had no problem and would strictly implement these requirements.

These requirements include that Ning Chen cannot go deep into the site, cannot reach areas with high nuclear radiation, etc. They are all requirements for Ning Chen's safety.

Even without these requirements, Ning Chen would definitely not easily go to areas with high nuclear radiation inside the site. After all, Ning Chen would not make fun of his own body.

After confirming this arrangement, Ning Chen knew that he would no longer be able to go to the steel factory to participate in the application research of new steel materials.

Fortunately, Xu Zhou was able to complete this work for Ning Chen. Apart from Ning Chen, Xu Zhou was the person who knew the most about this new steel material.

"Teacher Xu, I'll leave it to you to do the research at the steel plant. I have other work to deal with here and I can't go to the steel plant for the time being."

Xu Zhou was not surprised by this result. In fact, when Luo Yi and Ning Chen talked about the matter that day, Xu Zhou had already had a premonition of this happening.

At that time, Xuzhou was also ready to go to the steel factory alone.

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it by myself. Teacher Ning, just feel free to complete your mission. I'm still waiting for the aircraft carrier to be built sooner."

Even at this time, Xu Zhou did not ask Ning Chen what he was doing. He just let Ning Chen go about his business without any worries.

With a trustworthy partner like Xu Zhou, Ning Chen naturally felt very relieved.

…

After temporarily separating from Xuzhou, Ning Chen and several members of the aircraft carrier project team came to the onshore nuclear reactor project team in Qiong Province.

This is Ning Chen's first time coming to Qiong Province. Ning Chen thought that after the project is over, it would be a good choice to spend a few days here to relax.

For so many days, Ning Chen had been working at a high intensity and felt very tired indeed.

However, Ning Chen will continue to maintain a positive attitude and at least finish the nuclear power plant project before considering taking a break.

The location of the onshore nuclear reactor base is very remote, and there is no permanent population within a few kilometers.

And because of the construction of the onshore nuclear reactor, the entire experimental base was strictly sealed, and outsiders were unable to enter the interior.

This is not only for confidentiality, but also for people's safety.

Entering the base, Ning Chen saw that the onshore nuclear reactor designed by himself had begun to be built.

In fact, the inside of a real nuclear reactor is very small. In order for this nuclear reactor to be used on nuclear aircraft carriers in the future, Ning Chen deliberately miniaturized the reactor.

But the scope of the entire base is very huge, which is also to facilitate the smooth conduct of various experiments.

After arriving at the scene, Ning Chen didn't bother to rest and immediately checked the situation at the scene.

"Xiaozhi, turn on the information sensing function!"

[Received, the information sensing function has been turned on for the owner]

Before coming to Qiong Province, Ning Chen had recalled Xiaozhi into his brain in order to conduct immediate tests on the surrounding environment.

Immediately, Ning Chen felt various data in the surrounding environment in his brain.

"Well... at least in terms of controlling nuclear radiation, the experimental base has done a very good job."

Even after entering the experimental base, Ning Chen did not detect any obvious nuclear radiation, which was not much different from the outside environment.

After that, Ning Chen carefully surveyed the environment of the experimental base and communicated with the staff of the experimental base to understand various problems encountered in the current project.
