The ultra-large-scale investment has also made the outside world more interested in the funding of the "Sky Mirror" space gravitational wave detection project.

When the outside world sees that the funder is called the "Natural Science Foundation", the first instinct in their minds is to think that this funding institution should be a public institution, which is the state appropriating funds.

On the importance of naming.

It is impossible for private individuals to make such a large-scale investment, not to mention that private capital for such basic scientific research projects is simply not interested.

Penetrating further, it was discovered that this institution was not established, but it had received approval and instructions from senior leaders.

Although the public data show that the "Natural Science Foundation" is a non-profit organization, everyone firmly believes that this is a grant from a national unit and the state.

All major academic circles in China are very excited. Basic scientific research has finally been paid more attention than ever before. The "Sky Mirror" project has invested a budget of 200 billion. Judging from the name of the institution, it is not only in the field of astronomy.

Prior to this, the funds allocated to the domestic basic scientific research field were really small, and the annual funds were not as good as the budget of a "mirror of the sky".

It is no wonder that many scientists engaged in basic scientific research are excited when they see this news.

Fang Hong, who was watching the TV news, turned his gaze to the side. Yu Qiu in business attire walked towards him, sat down next to Fang Hong and said, "There is a message from Xincheng University that the LIGO scientific cooperation The organization invited the 'Sky Realm' project to join their organization, and Metro University sought our opinion."

Yu Qiu added: "According to Ning Xingqing, Barish, one of the directors of LIGO, has been committed to making LIGO a project for all mankind. He signed an agreement with Italy's Virgo to share all data and jointly publish papers. , including this invitation to the 'Mirror of the Sky' project."

Yu Qiu paused and continued: "In this way, gravitational waves can be jointly detected at three different locations around the world. Once a gravitational wave is discovered, the specific direction and distance of the gravitational wave can be calculated based on the time difference."

It is worth mentioning that after Barish established the LIGO Scientific Cooperation Organization, he has been inviting scientists from all over the world to participate in this field. Today, the LIGO Scientific Cooperation Organization has 18 units from 108 countries participating.

Fang Hong thought for a while and said with a smile: "It would be disrespectful to invite you with great kindness. But the invitation is not for self-defeating martial arts, but to use this international cooperation to improve our own self-research system. Since it is a cooperation Shouldn't some experts be sent over to help us figure it out and provide some solutions?"

For this invitation, Fang Hong is very happy to accept the invitation. There is no conflict between playing first hand and playing with them. There are also advantages. After all, the gap in some aspects must be faced squarely. Yes, it's not a big problem to pay some money.

In fact, Fang Hong is also more worried about whether the "Mirror of the Sky" can be successfully completed in 2015. After all, it is easy to have accidents if there are no accidents.

If it cannot be put into operation in 2015, then the honor of being the first to detect gravitational waves can only be won by LIGO. Although it is just an honor, it is the "Sky Mirror" plan that invests so much money in the near future. The only major achievement that can be achieved.

Having honor means the accumulation of background. To put it bluntly, the stuff you make will look very high-end and attract more talents. This is the key point. Honor itself is not the core.

If you cooperate with LIGO, you can firmly guarantee that the "mirror of the sky" is also the honor winner of the first detection of gravitational waves by human beings.

But it is very necessary to guard against one hand. Science has no borders, scientists have borders, and scientific research projects have borders. The time point of 2015 is just very critical. From this moment on, Lao Mei’s attitude has actually begun to change.

Because many major events happened in 2015, the A-share market entered an epic leveraged bull market, and foreign capital was also allowed to come in. Laomei and Wall Street planned to reap a lot of money in this big bull market, but the result was not As I wished, because the big A collapsed too quickly, everyone was GG.

Afterwards, another war broke out in the foreign exchange market, but the international short-seller led by Wall Street stalked the renminbi once again, and was very angry that it failed to meet the expected harvest plan. Then in 2016, it began to find a place in the military, and the Nanhai crisis was imminent. The three major fleets of the Republic gathered to deal with this crisis, and the two sides almost really fought.

In the end, Lao Mei gave up, and the situation just cooled down.

But what followed was that Lao Mei retreated, held back the bad news for a year or two, and finally set off a "trade war" in 2018, followed by almost all means except the military.

Therefore, the current cooperation with LIGO may be in the honeymoon period, but in 2015, when the situation changes dramatically, it is not guaranteed that it will be decoupled.

Now cooperation is cooperation, but it is extremely necessary to prevent one-handed operations.

But at this moment, Yu Qiu got Fang Hong's decision, nodded immediately and said: "I will inform Xincheng University later. In addition, the Natural Science Foundation has proposed a new investment direction, which is the application in the field of electromagnetism you mentioned, which involves to the military level."

Fang Hong took a look at the materials she handed over.

This project aims to establish a complete set of electromagnetic weapon systems. The main application is "electromagnetic guns", which can be subdivided into ship-borne electromagnetic guns, vehicle-mounted electromagnetic guns, etc., followed by individual light equipment such as "electromagnetic guns".

In this field, Laomei is the first to play, and the domestic ones can’t be left behind. After playing, they found that Laomei was fishing, and the domestic research was serious, and the result came from behind to lead the world.

It is worth mentioning that this situation is not an isolated case, the main reason is that Lao Mei will come up with a very high-end new concept from time to time to bluff people, saying that it has been put into experimentation and will be realized soon, scaring the rabbits on the other side of the ocean to start do.

One dares to bluff, the other really dares to believe, not only believe it, but also seriously engage in it. After doing it, it feels like it’s really the case, and then it’s even more convinced, and when I look back, I find that Lao Mei has actually fallen behind. up.

Technically speaking, electromagnetic weapons do have the ability to change history. The ultra-high speed and ultra-long range of electromagnetic guns are miraculous whether it is hitting aircraft or intercepting supersonic missiles.

However, to realize the application of electromagnetic weapons, there is still a key technical node, that is the battery.

Now the battery capacity is a major difficulty. If you can't play a few rounds, you will run out of energy, which is tasteless.

Once a breakthrough is made in battery technology, it is self-evident for the development of the new energy field. Fang Hong has decided to put Ningde Times or ATL in the expansion of this civilian field, and has already planned it in advance.

"Who are the cooperative units?" Fang Hong looked at the materials and asked.

"The main cooperative unit is Harbin Institute of Technology, followed by Hebei Artillery Engineering College and other 22 universities and research institutes that have launched electromagnetic launch research. The Natural Science Foundation of China provides full financial support for the project research. The current preliminary budget is 37 billion." Yu Qiu He said in an orderly manner: "In addition, Xincheng University has also dabbled in it, and will establish a non-ferrous metal research institute to undertake the research and development of high-temperature superconducting thin films."

After Qunxing Capital was introduced into the national team organization, many things went much smoother. Fang Hong couldn't help but nodded, and closed the material report and said succinctly: "Then allocate funds."
