Chapter 304 Scientific Research Has No Borders, but Researchers Do! (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

In the clear sky, a special plane took off from the capital and flew to Qinshan.

Luo Yao sat on the plane and looked at Zheng Yang beside him and remembered something.

"Is there any progress on the meteorite side?"

"We have examined meteorites," Zheng Yang's voice sounded a little serious. "We have used a variety of methods to conduct comprehensive examinations of meteorites, including physical properties, chemical composition, and microstructure."

He paused, as if thinking about how to continue.

"The test results of physical properties show that the density, hardness and magnetism of the meteorite are consistent with ordinary meteorites and there are no abnormalities." Zheng Yang continued, "As for the microstructure, we conducted electron microscopy scanning and crystallographic analysis and found that the interior of the meteorite "There are tiny but highly ordered structures that are very different from the natural mineral formation mechanisms on blue stars."

"After all, it is a meteorite. It is normal for the mineral structure to be different from that on Blue Star, right?" Luo Yao asked rhetorically.

"That's true, but we're worried about one thing..."

"There is more than one strange meteorite like this." Luo Yao replied calmly.

Why are you stealing my lines?

Zheng Yang was speechless, but in this situation, he still had to say something.

"Yes, we were afraid that there would be more than one, so we launched an investigation."

"No progress yet?"

Zheng Yang, who was successfully predicted by Luo Yao, showed a hint of embarrassment: "Not yet, but we have invited people from 749 to be responsible for these matters. I believe they will have news soon."

"What is 749?" Luo Yao had never heard of this code name in the scientific research community.

"A department dedicated to dealing with seemingly bizarre incidents."

"Then can they figure out the origin of the meteorite?"

Zheng Yang didn't expect Luo Yao to ask this. He thought, wouldn't the focus of most people be on dealing with some strange events?

They are not scientists, so how do they know where meteorites come from?

"It's possible, but I'm not sure."

Luo Yao is now full of curiosity about this 749, "I understand, they should be a group of anonymous scientists, I really want to meet them!"

Zheng Yang hesitated to speak, and finally decided not to tell Luo Yao the true situation of 749.

The plane arrived in Qinshan. After Luo Yao and others got off the plane, they took a special electric vehicle to the Qinshan No. 1 nuclear fusion demonstration reactor site.

"Yuan Zheng, Gong Luo, why are you here today?" Professor Chen, the chief supervisory engineer of the Qinshan No. 1 nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, came out early to greet them after learning that they were coming.

"Gong Luo is here to communicate with you today about the acceptance requirements. Professor Chen also knows that this is the first time we have built a nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, and many standards have not yet been perfected, especially our construction standards and acceptance standards. These require communication and discussion. of."

"Especially regarding the issue of construction standards, we believe that the current construction standards are not strict enough and there may be some safety hazards."

"We recommend adding some supervision and inspection measures during the construction process to ensure that every detail meets safety requirements."

After hearing this, Professor Chen quickly said: "This is no problem, but I have to find the construction company. I can't do it alone."

"Okay, then please go and notify me."

Half an hour later, more than 20 people gathered in the conference room.

Many people looked at Luo Yao next to Zheng Yang with admiration and yearning in their eyes. A young man even served Luo Yao a fruit plate diligently.

"Gong Luo, these fruits are freshly cut. You can eat them."

Luo Yao nodded and said "thank you" without paying attention, but went directly to the topic.

"I've seen your demonstration reactor construction plan, and there are quite a few problems in many places. Didn't you use small moss to simulate it?"

An older engineer said: "No, we calculated this based on experience."

Luo Yao has a big head, and he is most afraid of others doing things based on experience.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any problem with him at all, he felt that there was a big problem.

"The nuclear fusion demonstration reactor simulates the energy released by stars. If we cannot ensure the safety of the demonstration reactor, once an accident occurs, plasma with hundreds of millions of degrees will be released. At that time, all of us will be reduced to tiny ashes."

"Not even the scum can be left."

"When the plasma drops to a safe temperature range, no one or method in the entire solar system can stop them from burning everything."

"Unless aliens come and the aliens happen to have a way to solve this problem, they won't be able to escape being incinerated."

Luo Yao's words made everyone present look at each other.

Why did this meeting turn into a horror story?

"Ahem, Gong Luo, I think you are overthinking this. We actually developed a core collector based on the nuclear fission reaction structure."

"The core trap is an important safety device in a nuclear fusion reactor, used to control and regulate the process of nuclear reactions to ensure the stability and safety of the reaction."

"It is located in the core area of ​​the nuclear reactor." An engineer said, pointing to a large pit in the distance through the window. "That building is our responsibility for capturing, regulating and controlling the neutron flow generated in the nuclear reaction, thereby controlling The rate and intensity of nuclear reactions.”

"The core trap absorbs neutrons and reduces the number of neutrons, thereby controlling and regulating the rate of nuclear reactions. This ensures that the nuclear reaction does not get out of control and prevents serious accidents such as overheating or explosion in the nuclear reactor."

"Well, this is indeed good, but can you guarantee that there will be no problems 100%?"

Facing Luo Yao's rude inquiry, an old engineer said unhappily: "No one can guarantee that there will be no problems 100%."

"But we can bring the probability of safety incidents to zero."

"This means that you need to pay attention to some details when building the demonstration reactor."

Luo Yao turned on the computer and projected a holographic concept map of the demonstration reactor.

"This is the concept map drawn by everyone. The areas marked in red are the areas that need improvement according to the calculations by Xiao Moss and me."

"Using neutral beam injection as the current driving mode, 18 TF coils and 8 PF coils need to be used in this mode."

"It is necessary to insert two acid-bonded ball beds into a single breeding unit and change the internal structure of its cladding from the original 5X5 to 6X5, so as to meet the basic thermal and neutronics performance requirements."

“When designing the enrichment of Li-6 in the breeding zone near the first wall of the cladding, it needs to be designed to be 60% higher than the planned value, otherwise the Li-6 in these breeding zones will consume 50% within three years of operation. above."

…

The engineers in the conference room were still nodding and taking notes at first. As Luo Yao talked more and more, the engineers' faces became solemn.

Originally, they thought that this meeting would simply talk about the problem of the reactor core collector, but unexpectedly, Luo Yao listed all the problems of the entire demonstration reactor.

Who can feel relaxed after hearing this?

Luo Yao seems to be really hiding his secrets. Why can he do this when he is obviously just a young man in his twenties?

After Luo Yao finished speaking, Professor Chen forced out a smile: "Gong Luo, your plan is too detailed. It is really testing our craftsmanship!"

Luo Yao looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Can't it be done?"

Professor Chen's breath caught in his chest.

"Of course we can do it. There is nothing our people can't do!" Professor Chen squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

It’s been so many years since I’ve been looked down upon, and I feel so inexplicably unhappy!

Hearing what Professor Chen said, other engineers also echoed: "We can do it!"

"Gong Luo, you have all solved the problem of ignition time. Of course we have to solve the problem of the demonstration reactor. As long as we work together, there is no problem that we cannot solve!"

After listening to their words, Luo Yao nodded with confidence: "There are many nuclear fusion experimental reactors, but ours will be the world's first nuclear fusion demonstration reactor. Once we build it, it will be a benchmark in this field!"

When the engineers heard Luo Yao's words, their hearts surged.

He has become a leader in the field after just a disagreement. If it is made well, it can also become a standard. Who wouldn't be excited to hear this?

"That's right!" Professor Chen stood up with a firm gaze, "Our demonstration reactor will become a model in the global nuclear fusion field! We will show the world that our team has unparalleled strength and determination!"

“The world’s first demonstration reactor, we will set the standards!”

Professor Chen arranged the work with the engineers on the spot, and arranged every work content mentioned by Luo Yao to the individual!

At this moment, the engineers felt the sense of mission they shouldered!

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Now, the fire of nuclear fusion has been ignited by Luo Yao. The rest, they need to let this fire light up China!

Although Luo Yaoti's requirements are very demanding, they believe that as long as Luo Yao is the backbone, there is no problem that they cannot overcome.

Once morale is high, it is difficult to be knocked down by difficulties. When Luo Yao and Zheng Yang left, the entire team was working enthusiastically, and no one was willing to stop.

When Luo Yao returned to the Southwest Institute of Physics and discussed with Dean Fang the design of the liquid lithium neutron recovery system in the demonstration reactor, the academicians of the Royal Swiss Academy of Sciences and the professors of the Nobel Prize Committee were worried.

September every year is the time for Nobel Prize nominations. Originally, this was an ordinary task for the academicians of the Royal Swiss Academy of Sciences and the professors of the Nobel Prize Committee.

But this year, they have a headache.

"Dean Fuhe, should we nominate Luo Yao this year?" Academician Fisher asked.

"In previous years we could find excuses to ignore his achievements, but if we continue to ignore him this year, others will question our fairness."

"The Physics Award is no better than the Literature Award. It can be decided based on our subjective judgment. Luo Yao's contribution to physics has reached a level that we have to take seriously."

Professor Annika on the side also said: "Luo Yao has caused quite a stir in the field of controllable nuclear fusion this year. If we are not nominated again this time, the academic community will probably denounce us."

"After all, he previously developed 'Life No. 1' and was not nominated."

That year, the entire Royal Academy of Sciences and the Nobel Prize Committee were divided over whether to nominate Luo Yao.

Some people believe that Luo Yao is definitely qualified to win the Nobel Prize, but others are firmly opposed.

The reason for the objection was also very strange. They believed that Luo Yao was a businessman and not a pure scientific researcher, so they did not nominate him.

But Annika knew exactly why.

The Chou people did not allow Luo Yao to become the second Chinese to win the Nobel Prize.

They are afraid.

I am afraid that China’s scientific research team will become regular recipients of the Nobel Prize from now on.

They cannot accept this fact.

But this time it involves the achievements of controllable nuclear fusion. If Luo Yao is not nominated, the nominees will be somewhat blind.

Dean Fauche pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You are right. Luo Yao's achievements cannot be ignored. His contribution to the field of controllable nuclear fusion has attracted widespread attention and praise."

Fisher and Annika breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what he said.

"But..." Fauch changed the topic, "Luo Yao has not published a paper, nor has he proved the authenticity of their so-called 62-minute magnetic confinement experiment. How can we nominate him?"

Fisher and Annika looked at each other, and it didn't take long for them to understand what Fuch meant.

"Indeed, Luo Yao's magnetic confinement experiment has not yet been recognized and verified." Academician Fisher frowned, "If we nominate him, will it be too hasty?"

Annika had no choice but to say: "So now it means that Luo Yao needs to publish a paper himself or be able to prove the authenticity of the magnetic constraint duration in order to be nominated?"

Dean Fauch took out a cigar from the cigarette box and cut off the top with scissors. After lighting the cigar, he took a deep breath of the cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke, thinking about the discussion just now.

"We need more evidence to ensure his achievements." After flicking off the ashes on the top of his cigar, Fauch continued: "Otherwise, those ugly Chinese people will also come to question us."

"Didn't you notice? Ever since the Chinese scientific research team announced their new achievements in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, the Ugly people have been spreading false news everywhere."

"At this juncture, if we want to nominate, aren't we going to cause trouble for ourselves?"

Although Fuhe said this, he had a vague feeling in his heart that maybe this time they could solve the problem of whether to nominate Luo Yao, but what about next time?

Fauch isn't sure.

In the past few months, they had discussed Luo Yao no less than ten times, but they could not reach a consensus every time.

Now that the nomination is imminent, Fauch has no choice but to find loopholes in it to speak out.

At this time, everyone knew that if Luo Yao had not published a paper or proved the authenticity of their experiments, he would never have a chance to win the Nobel Prize.

"In this case, we should also publicly notify the other party, otherwise others will doubt our resolution."

Fuhe nodded when he heard this: "That's fine. It would be better if Luo Yao could be asked to hand over the experimental data."

As long as Luo Yao hands over the experimental data, then the controllable nuclear fusion technology of various countries may be able to reach a higher level.

The next day, Blue Star people discovered that the Nobel Prize Committee sent a public notice to Luo Yao.

"Dear Academician Luo Yao, we learned about your latest results with great excitement. Currently, the Nobel Prize is being nominated. We hope that Academician Luo Yao can provide relevant papers or experimental data as materials for the Nobel Prize nomination! "

After seeing this notice, the Chinese felt as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Is Academician Luo really going to be nominated for the Nobel Prize?"

"No, why do I feel like this notice is asking Academician Luo to produce evidence?"

"Be confident and get rid of your feelings. Do you really think those people who won the Nobel Prize are good people? Just look at what the literature awards are about!"

"Once the paper or experimental data is published, those foreigners will take the opportunity to conduct experiments according to the methods provided by Academician Luo. Soon, these white-eyed wolves will make a breakthrough in the field of controllable nuclear fusion!"

"In other words, if Academician Luo wants to win the Nobel Prize, he has to hand the other party a knife?"

"That's right! These are all planned by the Nobel Prize winners! Don't believe they have good intentions!"

It's something that ordinary people can figure out. Of course Luo Yao also knows what the Nobel Prize winners have in mind.

Luo Yao originally wanted to let it go, but in the blink of an eye, people were suspicious of him. He felt completely uncomfortable if he didn't fight back, so he replied with a letter.

"Can everyone on the Nobel Prize Committee understand the paper or experimental data I presented? If you can understand it, I believe you will have a breakthrough in the near future. If you can't understand it, then what's the point of presenting it to me? ?”

"You are very free, why not do some research on whether it is true that Apollo landed on the moon?"

"If it's true, then why can't the Ugly Americans land on the moon now? Can't they even send a detector?"

"I think it makes more sense to find out the truth about this than to focus on my experiments."

Fauch and others thought that Luo Yao would honestly produce experimental data and publish papers, or scold them angrily, but they never expected that Luo Yao would say that they could not understand the experimental data and papers!

For those who have been engaged in academics all their lives, this is simply a shame and a great humiliation!

After Fuhe and others saw Luo Yao's letter, they froze on the spot and looked at each other in disbelief. This unexpected answer made them feel extremely embarrassed and angry.

"What does he mean?" Dean Fauch's voice was filled with anger. "Is he questioning our professionalism?"

"It's very possible. I've seen Luo Yao's past interviews and live broadcasts, and I'm sure he is this kind of person." Fisher said speechlessly.

"It is undeniable that he very cleverly led the matter to the Apollo moon landing. Now the discussion on the Internet about the authenticity of the Apollo moon landing is much higher than the discussion about the Nobel Prize."

Fauch:…

Originally, he wanted to use the public's suspicion and the reputation of their Nobel Committee to put pressure on Luo Yao to hand over the experimental data. Now it seems that his plan has failed.

Is that all?

No.

He could not let Luo Yao trample on the dignity and reputation of the Nobel Prize Committee and the Royal Academy of Sciences!

Fauch immediately issued a letter of condemnation, accusing Luo Yao of not having a scientific spirit.

"Scientific research knows no borders, and researchers should always consider the entire Blue Star!"

After Luo Yao read the condemnation letter issued by Fauche, he quickly issued a reply.

“It is true that scientific research has no borders, but researchers have national borders.”

"I am a Chinese, you have no right to ask me to do anything!"
