Chapter 547

"Is that so..." Lu Yanchi frowned slightly, "Then they should have results soon, and maybe they can catch up with us."

"Not necessarily..." Ni Qingzhou hesitated for a moment before speaking out his thoughts, "Personally, I think Eric Meiyi Group's investment is a bit weird. They don't seem to be betting all their money on New Lingshi Energy. The way it looks..."

"No, no, that's not right either," Ni Qingzhou vetoed his words halfway through, "...Anyway, hey, I always think their attitude is weird."

"Really?" Lu Yanchi thought for a moment, recalling the background of the Eric Meiyi Group as an oligarch in the old energy era, and then shrugged nonchalantly, "Nevermind, let's just be ourselves. .”

"That's right, we just have to be ourselves," Ni Qingzhou agreed very much. "I have been in a foreign research institute for a while, and the atmosphere there is different from our domestic kind of concentrating all our efforts on doing big things without thinking about anything. The logic of having to cover all costs is very different.”

I think back then, when the world cooperated on nuclear fusion, the countries involved had to negotiate hard for nearly five years before jointly signing the agreement. The documents "Agreement on the Joint Implementation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Program to Establish the International Fusion Energy Organization" and the "Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the Joint Implementation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Program on the Establishment of the International Fusion Energy Organization" were formally established on December 1, 2006. Thermonuclear fusion experimental reactor plan.

The initial negotiations alone took five years, and the subsequent wrangling became even more troublesome.

At that time, in order to facilitate operations, the entire project naturally had to be built on the territory of one of the participating countries. There are many benefits to undertaking the project. The huge project contract is only a small short-term profit. More importantly, the country's nuclear energy research will be greatly promoted and its leading position in the world will be ensured.

However, for this benefit, the participating countries in the fusion experimental reactor project began to tear each other apart. Four countries competed with each other, and the remaining participating countries each had their own support objects, and they were once stuck in an undecidable deadlock. [Note]

The deadlock over site selection even lasted for a full year and a half before finally reaching an outcome.

Five years plus one and a half years, almost seven years have passed from the initial proposal to formal project operation.

And a scientist's golden time is not seven years at all.

Looking at China, there are some scientific research miracles, which are really possible out of the impossible. The familiar story of two bombs and one satellite is almost entirely a scientific research building built from nothing.

The more you know about some things, the more proud you will be.

Lu Yanchi smiled happily: "Of course, I boasted about Haikou and will complete the construction of the Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor within a month!"

"One month," Ni Qingzhou chewed on this extremely short time and asked, "Are you really sure?"

"If you're not sure, you have to be sure," Lu Yanchi couldn't see any panic on his face, "When I didn't have the mental ability to know everything before, I had done a lot of things like military orders, and now I have them." Riddle Lian]’s mental ability is a guarantee, what else do I have to panic about?”

"That's right..." Ni Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh. In an era like this, we really cannot carry out scientific research at the same speed as before. Apart from anything else, how much can a copy of [Riddle Serial] speed up research!

"However," Lu Yanchi couldn't help but quicken his pace, "I do still have some difficulties to think about. Quick, quick, quick, let's finish eating quickly, and then help me think about it..."

-------------------

If we study the nature of human society in detail, we will find that behind so many wars and social changes in history, there are a few things that are actually the most important.

That is:

Energy, traffic and communication.

These three things have almost entangled the development of the entire human society for thousands of years.

Take China as an example. In ancient China, there has always been a theory of "imperial extremes", namely:

From the center, within one year (some say it is three months), the place that can reach a complete army (elite + auxiliary + food + common people) is the approximate border of an empire. [Note]

In other words, the entire unified country has its own control limits, and this limit is the limit of energy, transportation and communication.

In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, why was the enfeoffment system the most suitable system for the productive forces at that time? Essentially, that was because the energy source at that time was manpower, and the traffic and communication at that time could only be controlled within the scope of a small enfeoffed country, which resulted in the most stable enfeoffment system.

After the King of Qin conquered Liuhe and unified the world, he established roads and customized regulations everywhere, and the books and cars were on the same track. This kind of infrastructure is the root that supports the system of counties and counties and the unification of the entire Qin and Han dynasties.

However, even if you rely on horseback riding, even if you rely on beacon towers, even if you rely on various official ways, you still have your own limits, which also limits the expansion of the empire.

Transportation, communications and energy, this essential limitation, are the real important factors limiting China's expansion throughout history.

If a place cannot be conquered even if it is conquered, then why is there any need to attack it in particular? After the fight is over, if communications are not smooth, who will manage it?
