Chapter 368 Major Adjustments
Click——
When Kang Chi received the certificate, the photographer below decisively pressed the shutter to freeze this historic moment.
And this photo soon became the headline cover of major official media.
[Well-deserved, the record of the youngest elected academician in China has been broken! ]
[Elected as an academician of the two academies at the age of 31, what is his reason? ]
[The light of Chinese youth, the soul of national rise - take you to review Kang Chi's extraordinary achievements]
[With his own efforts, he promoted the acceleration of national science and technology! How did he create a scientific research myth? ]
[……]
While announcing Kang Chi's election as an academician of the two academies, the media also coincidentally reviewed Kang Chi's achievements.
From the first hand-polished lens,
to Daqin Optics' first lens production line,
to the world's first floating tape single crystal furnace, EUV lithography machine, the first domestically produced micro single, solid-state sodium ion battery, electric aircraft... and so on.
When these achievements were dug up again and listed according to the timeline, what was finally presented to the world was a well-deserved scientific research legend!
"Fuck, academician of the two academies! Mr. Kang is awesome!"
"Being elected as an academician of the two academies at the age of 31 is not only unprecedented, but also probably impossible to be elected in the future?!"
"You don't know until you see it. It's shocking. The value of Mr. Kang's academicianship is so high that it's abnormal."
"666, a true national hero!"
"Mr. Kang: Don't be stupid in basic exercises."
"I am already 41 years old. I looked at the brick in my hand silently and shed tears of envy and regret... I won't say more. I will continue to contribute to Mr. Kang's career. Proud.gif, location: Datang Heavy Industry Luzhou Plant 2. ”
“By the way, I haven’t seen Mr. Kang in public for a long time. I miss him for the first time…”
“Don’t forget, this is only Mr. Kang’s achievements that have been made public! Although we don’t know how many achievements cannot be made public, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.”
“Fortunately, God bless our Great China. If a monster like Mr. Kang appeared on Old M’s side, the consequences would be unimaginable…”
“…”
Since Datang Heavy Industry released the Return to Truth and Solid-State Sodium Batteries, the speed and frequency of Kang Chi’s publicizing of scientific research achievements have begun to decrease significantly, and the number of times he appeared in public has also become less and less.
Some people even worried that he had run out of ideas.
Until the Xindu incident was officially announced and Yinhe was officially disclosed, everyone’s worries disappeared immediately.
This is not running out of ideas at all.
It must be a highly confidential national major scientific research project!
As for the specific project, there are many different opinions on the Internet.
When the Silver Crane was announced, Kang Chi said that he wanted to develop anti-gravity technology.
So most people, including the Americans, are speculating whether Kang Chi is working on the Nan Tianmen Project...
Although no matter how you think about it, the Nan Tianmen Project is a strategic research bureau without any technical theory support,
But whether it is the Nan Tianmen Project or not, one thing is certain,
that is, Kang Chi's research must be related to military industry!
This actually puts a lot of pressure on Old M.
As long as people on the other side of the ocean think that Kang Chi is doing military research, they feel uneasy and can't sleep all night...
Always feel that he is a time bomb.
Although they don't know how much effort they have made behind the scenes, Kang Chi is protected too well by China, and there is no opportunity to make trouble.
In addition, Kang Chi himself never wanders around, let alone stepping out of the country, and he doesn't even leave the door of the laboratory when he has nothing to do...
He is so cowardly! ——
Just when netizens were still discussing this matter online, the Great Hall of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which had just held the Academician Selection Conference, held another secret meeting the next day.
Those who participated in this meeting were all important experts and scholars in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China.
In fact, not all academicians had to be present at the scene when voting for the academician selection. Only those who were drawn had the right to vote.
If you were drawn and couldn't get away, you could also vote anonymously online.
But Academician Zhong Weijian, who was drawn this time, was notified that he had to come to the scene.
In addition to him, the main person in charge of the entire EAST project, whether he was drawn or not, and even some who were not academicians, were notified to come to Yanjing.
At the Academician Selection Conference, Zhong Weijian also had a brief private exchange with the heads of other fusion projects and found that their EAST was not an exception.
Almost all international cooperation projects on controlled nuclear fusion were required to upgrade and transform their equipment.
As for China's own fusion reactor, it was even simpler and more crude.
Regardless of whether it is the tokamak, stellarator, or pinch device, it is directly suspended!
Zhong Weijian immediately guessed that there must be another very important meeting after the academician conference.
The country's research on controlled nuclear fusion will have major adjustments!
This makes those who are engaged in controlled nuclear fusion feel a little nervous.
They think that this is going to significantly cut the budget of controlled nuclear fusion, or even directly cut the pace of the project...
This kind of thing is actually happening internationally.
The most representative one is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project.
In the early stage of its launch, the budget of this project was only 6.3 billion US dollars, and it was originally planned to be completed in 2016.
But as the progress of the project has been delayed, the budget has now increased to 22 billion US dollars.
And as the efficiency of the start-up becomes lower and lower, the delay in the progress of the project is becoming more and more serious.
This means that the budget of 22 billion US dollars is only the "current" estimate, and it will definitely continue to increase in the future.
It's okay that the budget keeps doubling, but the key is that the construction period has been delayed for nearly ten years, and the completion date is still far away. It has become a super bottomless pit.
"Science M People" disclosed this situation in a report, believing that the world's largest "artificial sun" project has been stuck in a quagmire.
"The budget is out of control and the construction period is delayed, causing the ITER project to be on the "edge of a record-breaking disaster". It is likely to become the scientific project with the longest construction delay and the most severe cost inflation in history."
In addition, more and more people are not optimistic about the application prospects of controlled nuclear fusion, Old M frequently withdraws from the group, and Gallic chickens have repeatedly falsified, resulting in many contradictions in this project.
If China had not taken up the banner, ITER would have written the last letter on the "Century Super Unfinished Project List".
Compared with ITER, China's EAST is much better, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a beacon in the field of nuclear fusion.
Zhong Weijian was a little confused as to why such a strange closed-door meeting was held at this time...
Until he saw Kang Chi also appear at the meeting, he suddenly guessed something in his heart...
"...After the application of the Academy of Sciences and the approval of the Elders' Council, Academician Kang Chi was officially appointed as the Chief Engineer of Controlled Nuclear Fusion in China, coordinating the research and development projects of all controlled nuclear fusion experimental devices in China!"
Wow——
After hearing this news, the scene was boiling!
