Chapter 289 This Evil Capitalism! (6K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

"Principal Xiao, are you going out?"

"I'm going to the Academy of Sciences."

Kuang Ming knew that the East Polytechnic had no relationship with the Academy of Sciences. Now, most of the time when the principal goes to the Academy of Sciences, it is for the purpose of co-opting academicians.

"For Luo Gong's matter?"

Xiao Yang stopped and said, "Absolutely. There is only one person like this in our school who has had the opportunity to be selected as an academician in decades. Why don't we hurry up and help Luo Gong do the selection?"

"Once he is selected, won't our school also benefit from it?"

"In recent years, the number of people applying to our school, especially your School of Microelectronics, has obviously been higher than the data six years ago. Don't you and I still understand the reason for this?"

"So this time, we must win for him."

"But can the Academy of Sciences really agree?"

"Do you still remember Academician Wan who worked with Luo Yao to develop quantum radar?"

Kuang Ming suddenly realized: "Principal, are you looking for him?"

"Yes, I came to him firstly to make sure he would vote for Luo Yao, and secondly I wanted to know about the current voting situation through him."

"That's great. Academician Wan should be able to help Gong Luo!"

Xiao Yang nodded and went straight to the Academy of Sciences in the car.

After meeting Academician Wan, Xiao Yang directly explained his intention.

Academician Wan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. I have three recommended places in my hand, and I gave Luo Gong one of them."

"Really? That's great. Gong Luo should have great hopes of being elected as an academician this time, right?"

Academician Wan's smile became stiff after hearing this.

"This is hard to say."

“Most of the academicians in our academy have choices, and it’s not easy to find their votes.”

"I heard that Gong Luo is also on the preliminary list of the Academy of Engineering Sciences. Maybe Gong Luo there is more promising."

Xiao Yang heard this and said hurriedly: "This is still unknown at the moment, so I thought I could help Luo Gong find more hope now."

"This is a good idea, but it is difficult to implement. Do you know anyone here?"

"Except Academician Wan, no one else is familiar with it."

"Then this will be difficult to handle."

"Let's do this. You go back first. I'll contact you when there are new situations here."

Not long after Xiao Yang left, two academicians returned to the office.

"Academician Chen, Academician Fu, have you decided on the academician candidates recommended by you this year?" Academician Wan thought of Luo Yao and decided to ask.

After making sure there was no one around, Academician Fu said, "Two of them have been confirmed, and the remaining one is still under consideration."

Academician Chen said: "The situation here is similar."

"Then did you choose Gong Luo?" Academician Wan asked directly without going around in circles.

"Gong Luo, this is indeed not the case. I am still considering between him and another person."

"What are you considering? I think this should be settled, right? How much did Luo Gong contribute..."

Academician Fu smiled slightly and said: "Academician Wan, you are talking about who has not contributed much?"

"I know you were studying quantum radar together before, and you want to take care of him. This is of course no problem. I am actually leaning toward him, but there are other people looking for me at the moment, so I have to think more about it. After all, I still have some favors. "

Academician Wan knew that Academician Fu was trying to inoculate him. If the other party did not choose to invest in Luo Yao in the end, he would have a valid reason.

"Gong Luo? Is it the Luo Yao who leads the technology?" Academician Chen suddenly spoke.

"Yes, that's the one Bai Di who took the lead in research and development led by Luo Gong. He gave us a lot of face." Academician Wan looked at Academician Chen with a smile, but found that the other person didn't seem very happy.

Academician Chen said: "It turns out to be that person, then I understand."

"That guy doesn't deserve to be an academician."

"Academician Chen, where did you start talking about this?" Academician Wan was stunned. Does Academician Chen know Luo Yao?

Otherwise he couldn't have said that.

"His usual behavior is not consistent with the low profile of an academician. He is arrogant and domineering to everyone he meets, and has no manners."

Academician Wan thought about his interactions with Luo Yao. Although Luo Yao was straightforward and did not consider other people's feelings, he did not have bad intentions. Academician Chen's words were too much in the opinion of Academician Wan.

"Academician Chen, there are some things where you cannot listen to rumors. This is disrespectful to a dedicated scientist."

"Disrespect? What's wrong with disrespect? Since he did it, he's not afraid of being criticized!"

Academician Fu, who was watching the excitement, did not think it was a big deal and asked, "Tell us what the specific matter is. If you just say this, we will be confused."

"In that case, I'll say it."

"I have a cousin who is a professor of materials science at Dongli University of Science and Technology. A few years ago, Luo Gong's sister Luo Zhu was in his hands. He saw that Luo Zhu was talented, so he asked her to join the battery project he was researching. As a result, guess what?"

"One day Luo Zhu raised a question. The professor thought Luo Zhu was wasting her time and ignored her. As a result, she moved her brother out. Professor Chen didn't understand the situation and felt that Luo Zhu would trust a layman. She didn’t believe him, so she criticized her a few words. Unexpectedly, this worker Luo rushed directly to his office and accused him of having a problem with his attitude.”

"I never thought that today's teachers can't even criticize their own students. What do you think this is?"

"Is this really true?"

"It's absolutely true. Because of this incident, my cousin was punished and was not allowed to recruit students for two years."

Academician Fu frowned and said, "If this is really the case, then what Luo Gong did is somewhat inconsistent with his status as an academician."

Academician Wan is thinking, who knows the specific situation of your cousin?

Are you still blaming Luo Yao for this?

Is this a public revenge?

Since they were both in the same academy, Academician Wan couldn't break up with Academician Chen. He knew something was wrong when he heard Academician Fu and Academician Chen discussing other candidates for academician.

…

Zheng Yang and Shan Xing arrived in a car at a small courtyard in the suburbs. When Shan Xing saw the guards around him, he turned around and asked, "Zheng Yuan, aren't you, why are you here?"

"How can we solve it if we don't come here?" Zheng Yang didn't hesitate at all. He got out of the car and went straight to the gate. Shan Xing hurriedly trotted to follow.

Once inside, the two of them were taken to a small reception room by the secretary who had been waiting for them.

"Zheng Yuan, President Shan, please take a seat quickly."

"I made an appointment with the big boss, when will he be free?" Zheng Yuan asked with concern as soon as he sat down.

"It's unfortunate. The leader is out temporarily due to business."

Zheng Yuan looked disappointed after hearing this.

"But before he left, he told me that the 'Suzaku' matter would be handled properly. Please rest assured, President Zheng Yuan and President Shan."

Zheng Yang and Shan Xing looked at each other, each other's expressions revealing a hint of doubt and confusion.

Does it mean that the matter of co-optation of academicians is a sure thing?

But even a big leader can't directly intervene in this kind of thing, right?

How would he solve it if he didn't intervene directly?

Zheng Yang and Shan Xing had no choice but to leave first.

On the way back, Zheng Yang and Shan Xing thought silently, trying to clear their heads.

They all know that when it comes to co-opting academicians, they need to be handled with caution.

It is not good for anyone to intervene directly.

There are so many disciples, who can be punished?

People won't take any notice of this kind of thing even if it doesn't rain or dew.

"Can you guess what the big leader is thinking?"

After hearing what Shan Xinghou said, Zheng Yang said, "What if I could have guessed that I am still in this position?"

"Then what does he mean? I can't think of any way to deal with it now? If it's too radical, it will inevitably arouse opposition from those people. If it's too gentle, the other party can pretend to be stupid and there will probably be no reaction."

"Then what should we do now? Should we take the initiative again?"

"No, what if you took the initiative and ruined the big boss's affairs? You take the blame?"

"Now let's stay put and wait for the big leader's arrangements."

…

Luo Yao returned to the Southwest Institute of Physics after filling out the information and handing it to Zheng Yang.

As soon as he reached the door of the laboratory, he heard the wails of the people inside.

"The strength of 2t actually pierces a bit!"

"No! Do we need to continue to increase the strength? The magnetic constraint strength of the entire device is only 12t. If we increase the strength, I am worried that the entire device will be destroyed!"

"Comrades, what does a tokamak explosion look like?"

"Shut your crow mouth! I don't want to experience the explosion of the first tokamak device on the Blue Star!"

"What should we do now? Will the intensity be increased?"

"Add." Luo Yao walked in.

"Aren't you worried that the tokamak device will explode if the magnetic restraint is not enough?"

"The magnetic restraint you should be using is old technology, not the technology I used to develop the electromagnetic gun, so just upgrade it here."

Dean Fang was standing aside at this time and said with some embarrassment: "But Mr. Luo, this upgrade costs money."

They had spent a lot of money to manufacture the device in front of them, and now they had to upgrade the magnetic restraint. Where did the money come from?

Their R&D expenses this year do not include this item, so it is impossible for them to pay out of their own pockets.

"Money? This is easy to solve. Upgrading the magnetic restraint of this device will cost about 20 million. I will pay for it."

The key to solving nuclear fusion lies in this experiment, and Luo Yao is not reluctant to part with this little money.

After all, every year, various Chinese technology companies give him several billions in technology usage fees. What is 20 million?

When they heard that Luo Yao was going to invest 20 million to upgrade the device, everyone in the laboratory looked at him.

"Gong Luo, it's better not to give up on this. 20 million is not a small amount. If this device really needs to be upgraded, I can talk to the leaders and get some funding."

When Luo Yao thought about the lengthy process of approving funds, he felt that applying for funds was a waste of time.

Moreover, not every fund will be approved by the superiors.

Now others don’t know China’s scientific research funding, but he knows it very well.

Most of the funding is in a few key projects. For projects like nuclear fusion, which have not produced results for many years, the funding is very strict.

So if you have time to apply with others, you might as well let him pay for it.

"It's a waste of time for you to apply for funds. It's only 20 million, which is not a big amount. I can still afford this."

"Money earned has to be spent, there's no point in just keeping it, right?"

Dean Fang:? ? ?

Researchers:? ? ?

You spend 20 million and say it's not a big sum?

Are you saying there's no point in keeping it?

This is what Versailles spoke for.

Do all rich people do whatever they want? !

This evil capitalism!

What’s wrong with the fact that I have one more wealthy capitalist in the world? !

Dean Fang had to admit at this time that he had never wanted to hug the donor's thigh so tightly.

When the device was upgraded, Dean Fang was not responsible at all. Luo Yao called someone to carry the device away but did not show up.

After half a month, when the device returned to the laboratory, everyone felt relieved.

"Gong Luo said that the magnetic restraint strength of the device has been upgraded to 26 tons. Did you see it? This is the power of money!"

"The magnetic constraints have been increased, so we don't have to worry about whether the device explodes or not in our experiments."

"It's good to have money. Luo Gong is rich and young. He will be selected as an academician soon. This life is really admirable!"

"Academician? Who did you hear that Gong Luo wants to be selected as an academician?"

"The competition for academicians is very fierce, and it is not as easy as most people think."

"You mean to say that people like Luo Gong might not be able to be selected as academicians?"

"Absolutely. To become an academician, financial ability is not the key point, and scientific research ability is not entirely the key point. What is important is whether you have connections."

"Gong Luo's connections should be top-notch, right?"

"I don't know if it's a top-notch position, but academicians want more than ordinary relationships, so it's difficult for Mr. Luo to be elected as an academician this time!"

"Stop talking, Gong Luo will come later and it won't sound right. It's more serious to hurry up and do the experiment!"

Everyone shut up when they heard someone mention this.

Luo Yao is now the sponsor of the entire laboratory. Adhering to the principle of making no one uncomfortable but not making the sponsor uncomfortable, the researchers finally started to work.

But they found that after the device's magnetic confinement was enhanced, the magnetic confinement of the helium atom-firing gun was affected.

They had no choice but to find engineers to modify the entire device and extend the distance from the helium atom launcher to the interior of the device.

The engineer knew that the experiment was important, so he had no choice but to modify it no matter how reluctant he was.

…

In a small suburban courtyard, an elegant man sitting on a chair called his secretary.

"How did the thing I asked you to do go?"

The secretary bowed slightly and handed over a document and said: "It's all done. The committee has started nominations. This plan will be proposed at the congress."

"Well, that's good. March happens to be Suzaku's birthday, so let's prepare a birthday gift for this child!"

"I'm sure he will like your gift."

A gentle smile appeared on the elegant man's face, but he changed the subject.

"How is the preparation of Bai Di and Xuan Nu going?"

"It's already halfway through, and it should be ready for installation in another six months."

"Well, don't forget to follow up on the space station. Bai Di and Xuannv have been equipped, and the aerospace work cannot be left behind."

"Understood, I will follow up, but there is one more thing I need you to make up your mind on."

"What's up?"

The secretary was hesitant, and after careful consideration, he said: "Gu Dahu, Alian and other countries hope to reach cooperation with us regarding Bai Di and Xuan Nu."

"This is impossible, Bai Emperor and Xuannv cannot sell it." When the man heard those names, he knew what these rich people wanted to do.

"They don't want to buy it this time. They just want Bai Emperor and Xuannv to help them patrol."

"Why? Can't ordinary drones do these tasks?" the man asked curiously.

"They said they had some strange phenomena there, such as a place that was good before, but the magnetic field suddenly became chaotic, so they were worried that someone did it deliberately."

"They are hoping to increase patrols and security as a precaution."

"Baidi and Xuannv are not ordinary equipment. It is not convenient for us to deal with this matter. But if they really want it, we can ask them to find 'Suzaku'."

Upon hearing this, the secretary understood what he meant.

"I understand, I will make arrangements right away."

The secretary left the office, picked up the phone and arranged for someone to inform Luo Yao about this.

When Luo Yao answered Shan Xing's call, he thought the other party was joking for a moment.

"Am I in charge of the cooperation project between Bai Di and Xuannv? Shouldn't this be done by your official people?"

"Are you lazy to this extent now?"

Before Shan Xing could speak, Luo Yao figured it out: "No, it's because of the partner, you can't come forward."

"But do we really need to assist them?"

"This trip is actually to understand why their magnetic field is chaotic. We must find out whether it is man-made or geological conditions."

Shan Xing continued in a deep voice: "We need to figure out the reasons behind this. Bai Emperor and Xuannv's technical capabilities are the best among our existing resources, and their assistance is crucial to solving this problem."

“Then will you send geologists?”

"Yes, so protecting them is also important."

It was related to the life safety of geological experts, and Luo Yao could not ignore it.

Baidi and Xuannv, who were responsible for patrolling Goudahu and other countries, were painted with the logo of Pilot Technology and flew to the Goudahu area.

As soon as the news came out, many people started speculating.

"Is there something wrong with the geology at Goudahu? Is there gold again?"

"Probably not. Gold is exploding everywhere over there. They are the only experts in mining gold. How can we use our geological experts?"

"I heard that the paint on the planes that flew over this time were all marked with the 'Leading Technology' logo. Are these aircraft produced by Leading Technology?"

“When will Pilot Technology be able to build airplanes?”

"You don't know, don't you know? Pilot Technology already has the qualifications in military industry, so building Bai Emperor and Xuannv is nothing!"

"Mr. Bai Di and Xuannv themselves were developed by Mr. Luo. This is normal!"

"Mr. Luo hasn't been around for a long time, and I don't know what good stuff he's working on again!"

"I heard that Mr. Luo is on the academician preliminary list this time. He is probably preparing for this!"

"Mr. Luo is going to become an academician?!"

Originally it was just a simple discussion among netizens on social platforms, but because Luo Yao is likely to become an academician, more and more people are participating in the discussion.

The major media have even mastered the traffic code and put this matter on the hot search list, making various news headlines very eye-catching.

"Genius Luo Yao may become the youngest academician in history!" 》

"Shock! The famous scientist Luo Yao was selected as an academician of the two academies! 》

"Well-known scholars said that the probability of Luo Yao being selected as an academician is 60%! 》

…

While the social platform was busy, Luo Yao was watching everyone conducting experiments in the laboratory of the Institute of Physics.

All preparations have been completed.

The researchers are silently praying that this time it will be successful.

When the signal light of the launch gun lights up green, they know that the helium 3 atoms have reached the "magazine" and are ready to launch!

A researcher stepped forward and reached for the launch button.

"Wait! Don't press it this time!" Dean Fang stopped the researcher.

"You pressed it the last few times, and the failure rate reached 100%. Let's use someone else this time."

The researcher responsible for launching helium-3 atoms looked aggrieved.

"Gong Luo, why don't you come this time?" Dean Fang felt that the luckiest person in the entire laboratory must be Luo Yao, so he placed his hope on him.

"Okay, I'll do it." He replied without hesitation.

Luo Yao stood next to the console, operating the equipment attentively. He skillfully adjusted the parameters and precisely controlled the process of emitting helium-3 atoms.

"Ready."

The entire laboratory fell into silence.

Dean Fang and other researchers looked at the experimental table nervously.

Luo Yao pressed the launch button.

With great energy, the helium-3 atoms detached from the launch gun and directly hit the plasma heated to a terrifying temperature!

At this moment, the helium 3 nuclei passing through the plasma were captured by the probe on the target as they were traveling around!

As time goes by, the data on the display screen on the experimental platform starts from 0 and rises!

"We have data! We have data!" The researcher looked at the data on the computer and exclaimed!

"Related to nuclear fusion magnetic confinement technology, the data of plasma at ultra-high temperatures is very critical! Hurry and test it a few more times! We need to collect more data!"

The parameters of the first successful operation are recorded, and it is not difficult to succeed the second time according to the parameters.

After many experiments, they collected a lot of valuable data.

"Gong Luo, this time you can be said to have solved the problem of the NS equation, which plays a key role in our breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology!"

"With these data, I believe we will soon solve the problem of magnetic confinement at ultra-high temperature, high density and long time!"

Luo Yao was also very happy to be able to solve the NS equation. He did not expect that with the joint efforts of artificial intelligence and banknote capabilities, this group of them would actually solve the problem of the century!

Now he only needs to analyze the obtained data, and he believes that these people can find the key to magnetic confinement technology in nuclear fusion!

Dean Fang was overjoyed and reported the situation to Zheng Yang with trembling hands.

The news spread quickly, and soon almost all the top people in China's scientific research community knew the news.

But the group of people responsible for the academician election are still sitting still because they are confident that Luo Yao's current results are not enough to change the voting results.

As a student, who will care about this? The most important thing now is to protect their interests!

A week later, the spring-filled March arrived unknowingly.

A proposal shattered their confidence!

p.s. Normal updates will resume tomorrow!
