When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Galaxy Technology has done an internal statistics and found that it has spent nearly 1 billion yuan on headline news.

Most of this money is used to buy traffic and subsidize creators. In addition, the intelligent algorithm program written by Wang Donglai specifically for Toutiao News has greatly enhanced user stickiness.

Therefore, the headlines that appeared only a few years ago have become a huge publicity channel and public opinion platform when many people have not yet reacted.

At this time, the group photo of the new academicians in 2015 could cause such a big sensation.

It is hard to say that Galaxy Technology did not play a role behind the scenes.

In a word, behind any popular phenomenon on domestic Internet platforms, there is a driving force behind it.

It is either capital or an invisible hand.

Ordinary netizens naturally have no chance of knowing these things.

Right now, netizens are expressing their feelings online.

"At the age of 21, the boss has already become an academician, but I haven't even graduated from college yet!"

"I'm 21 and I've been working for three years. If I'm given another chance, I will definitely slap the me from three years ago and tell him to go back to study!"

"Don't think too much about it. After graduating from college, you still have to work, and the salary is not necessarily that high."

"Why can't Galaxy Technology be bigger and hire more employees? I really want to work at Galaxy Technology!"

"Indeed, I heard that Galaxy Technology's employee benefits are incredibly high. All employees enjoy housing allowances, meal allowances, car allowances and other benefits. The salary level is also at the leading level in the industry. I am so envious that my eyes are red."

"I don't know if Galaxy Technology will change after I become an academician!"

In fact, most netizens don’t care about academics and don’t understand these things.

I know that Wang Donglai is very powerful, but I can’t really say how powerful he is.

What they care about most are always things related to themselves, such as the employee treatment of Galaxy Technology.

It is for this reason that Wang Donglai is so attractive on the Internet.

……

Wang Donglai did not see these comments on the Internet.

After dinner and a short rest, it was time for the symposium.

There will be leaders attending the symposium for new academicians, and there is a high probability that they will appear on the evening news.

This symposium was held in another lecture hall of USTC.

Everyone's seat was labeled with their name in advance, and they were led to their seats, so there was no chance of them getting lost.

soon.

Yang Yan and others appeared with the leader.

The symposium officially began.

The process steps of the symposium are actually very simple.

Recall the history, affirm the present, and look forward to the future!

There is also an even more critical part of this symposium, which is that as an academician, you can communicate directly with the leaders at this time.

Although academician is the highest academic title in our country, the number of such persons exceeds a thousand.

In ordinary scientific research projects, academicians can be very powerful and also receive great support.

However, if they want to work in some key and core areas, such as projects that require huge costs, academicians still need to run around for resources and seek support from leaders.

For example, Academician Ni has been working hard for domestic operating systems, but because he has missed the opportunity, there has been no progress over the years.

Every time a new academician is elected, such a symposium will be held so as not to miss out on the research of key projects.

Give new academicians a chance to avoid omissions.

Soon, it was time to speak.

"Everyone, if you have any academic ideas, please speak up here. Everyone present here is an elite expert in various industries and the pillars of the country. The scientific research projects that you think are important also represent the future development direction. At this symposium, I hope everyone can speak freely!"

The leader said this to everyone with a smile.

It gives people a humble temperament and a feeling like a spring breeze.

Just after the leader finished speaking, a middle-aged man sitting in the front row volunteered to tell the story.

"Hello, leader. I personally have a suggestion."

"I think we need to put the construction of particle colliders on the agenda. Over the past 70 years, high-energy physics has made many achievements, and the technologies developed are closely related to human life. Without high-energy physics, there would be no synchrotron radiation sources, free electron lasers, spallation neutron sources and other devices, and many of our current advances in biology, geology, environment, materials, condensed matter and other fields would be out of the question."

"Without high-energy physics, many tests and treatments in hospitals today, such as MRI, PET, and radiotherapy for cancer, would not exist, or would not be as advanced, or would be delayed. Many people's lives would be shortened and their quality of life would be reduced."

"Not to mention that without high-energy physics, there would be no touch screens, and smartphones would be just a dream. Without high-energy physics, there would be no WWW, and people wouldn't be able to access the Internet. The Internet economy, whether it's Taobao or JD.com, would be out of the question."

"Many people would say that high-energy physics requires a lot of investment and carries high risks, but judging from the results, the emergence of the WWW and the profits it brings alone can fully make up for all the investment in high-energy physics."

"Leader, I personally strongly recommend the establishment of a project to build a large collider!"

"We have fallen behind the world level and can't delay any longer."

Before, Wang Donglai did not recognize this person, but after listening to it, Wang Donglai knew his identity.

Wang Yifang, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of China.

The reason why I can recognize this person is not because of this life, but because of the previous life.

Academician Wang and Mr. Yang once had a heated debate online about whether to build a large collider.

The reason why there was a stir online was, on the one hand, that it was rare to see academicians arguing about a certain issue, especially top scholars like Mr. Yang.

Secondly, the money required to build this large collider is an astronomical figure.

Thirty-six billion!
This number is not much considering China's GDP which is as high as one trillion.

However, it is too expensive just to build a machine for a project.

This matter has also attracted many scientists to discuss in the domestic academic circles.

Some people questioned it, some opposed it, and some were willing to try it.

Among them, Mr. Yang was one of those who firmly opposed it.

As a famous physicist in my country, Mr. Yang has a unique weight.

So, after Mr. Yang expressed his opposition, Wang Yifang published a series of articles to argue with Mr. Yang. The final result was that the whole country knew about it.

Wang Donglai was also in the spotlight because of this matter. After a brief understanding, he also held a disapproving attitude towards Academician Wang Yifang's plan to spend such a huge amount of money to build a large collider, and did not quite approve of it.

This life.

Wang Donglai is no longer an ignorant newbie. It is no exaggeration to say that his academic achievements in high-energy physics are no worse than those of the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

So, he knows the real situation of the Large Hadron Collider.

A particle collider is actually a spectrometer that measures particle collisions and is a type of sensor.

Simply put, two beams of particles are injected into this device, and the particles are made to reach extremely high speeds through other devices. After the high-speed particles collide, some new particles that have never been seen before can be produced.

It can enrich human understanding of the universe and explore some unsolved mysteries in the universe, such as dark matter and dark energy. The most famous of these is the 'Higgs boson' proposed by the British physicist Peter Higgs, but no one has ever discovered it after so many years.

Since 1956, scientists from various countries have realized that some technologies can explore unknown mysteries of mankind, so colliders have been put on the agenda.

In 1961, scientists at Bald Eagle developed a low-energy electron collider.

When the famous Bald Eagle scientist Ding Zhaozhong discovered the famous J/Ψ particle in modern high-energy physics through an electron collider, this discovery made scientists from various countries determined to build colliders.

In the 2s and 31s, CERN built a proton collider with an energy of × GeV.

Later, CERN converted a proton synchrotron into a proton-antiproton collider. During the continuous experimental process, they discovered two new particles, W± and Z0, making a huge contribution to modern high-energy physics.

In 1994, scientists set their sights on the Large Hadron Collider and established the construction project.

This project is an international collaboration, funded by 34 countries and laboratories or universities with thousands of international physicists, and built by scientists and engineers from about 80 countries.

This project took 14 years to complete. In 2008, it was finally completed 100 meters underground in the area bordering Switzerland and Turkey, and testing was officially launched in the same year.

After graduating from university, Academician Wang Yifang joined the European Organization for Nuclear Research to study high-energy particles and discovered the third mode of neutrino oscillation.

Therefore, there is a reason why Academician Wang Yifang proposed to build a collider of China's own.

After Academician Wang Yifang finished speaking, the leader did not rush to respond. Instead, he looked at the people below and said, "Academician Wang Yifang proposed the construction of a large collider. Everyone can speak freely and express their opinions. After all, you are all researchers, and we need to listen to the opinions of professionals like you."

As the leader said this, an academician immediately took the microphone and expressed his opinion in a tactful way.

"Academician Wang Yifang, the investment cost of a large collider is too high. The CERN collider is the result of the efforts of dozens of countries, thousands of laboratories and universities. It took many years to build and is very expensive."

"At present, our country is still in the development stage and is not suitable for developing such expensive projects."

When he heard someone object, Academician Wang Yifang immediately refuted and said, "No, I don't think so!"

"The speed of our country's development in the past two years has been witnessed by the whole world. The national economy has been greatly improved and the national finances are very sufficient."

"It is urgent to build a large collider. According to my estimate, it will only cost 360 billion yuan to build a large collider in our country. This cost is not very high and will not have a negative impact on the development and life of the country and the people."

"Building a large collider will not only allow our country to lead other countries in the field of particle colliders, but also attract outstanding foreign talents and cultivate more top scientific and technological talents, which will be beneficial to the country's future development."

Academician Wang Yifang spoke passionately and in an extremely inspiring tone.

However, the academician who objected also knew something about this aspect, and he immediately said: "Academician Wang Yifang, I wonder if you know about the construction project of the large collider in Bald Eagle. As the world's number one superpower, Bald Eagle also invested in the construction of a large collider. As a result, they spent $82 billion and still couldn't complete it. They had no choice but to stop the construction work halfway."

"You know, their original budget was only $40 billion, but after construction started, the budget doubled and they still didn't complete the construction. Later, according to estimates, if they want to complete it completely, the conservative amount will be $200 billion."

"Even the Bald Eagle, the world's most powerful country, could not complete the construction work with such a huge expenditure. I don't know how Academician Wang Yifang calculated that 360 billion yuan would be enough to complete the construction."

"On the matter at hand, I hope Academician Wang Yifang can give it more consideration."

There are naturally no stupid people who can become academicians.

Everyone knew very well that if Wang Yifang's suggestion was adopted by the higher-ups, they would all be affected.

The reason is simple. The country’s annual appropriations are limited.

If a large amount of funds are allocated to this, scientific research funds in other fields will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, most of the academicians present did not actually agree with Academician Wang Yifang’s suggestion.

Academician Wang Yifang did not give up when faced with this problem, but continued to explain: "What the bald eagle cannot do, we may be able to do!"

"We have an advanced socialist system, and we can concentrate our efforts on major tasks. However, this is not the case with bald eagles. They are driven by capital and cannot remain as steadfast in scientific research as we are."

"Secondly, the Bald Eagle's policies are not continuous. When people leave, the tea is forgotten. Scientific research projects are greatly influenced by the outside world. But it is different for us."

"Finally, the Bald Eagle is a developed country, and its costs are higher than ours. However, we are just the opposite. As a large country with a population of 1.4 billion, our country has a very rich demographic dividend, and the title of infrastructure maniac is appropriate."

"Therefore, the construction of a large collider is not a problem for our country."

"Also, although the construction of the Bald Eagle's large collider failed, from the perspective of our relationship with the Bald Eagle, this is actually a good thing. It gives us a good opportunity to catch up and surpass them."

"Here, I sincerely hope that the leaders can consider my suggestion. It is really urgent to build a large collider."

Hearing this, Wang Donglai finally couldn't help it.

Looking at Academician Wang Yifang with a hint of sneer in his eyes, he turned on the microphone and said, "Academician Wang Yifang, let me correct what you said just now."

"High-energy physics has a history of more than 70 years, which can be considered a long history."

"But looking at all the research results, none of them has any real benefit to human life, and there are very few Chinese people who are important high-energy physicists in the world."

"I don't understand where Academician Wang Yifang's confidence comes from. Why does he think we can catch up with and surpass the bald eagle with a collider?"

"If it depends on equipment, then all countries can just compete to see whose equipment is more advanced. What is the point of having researchers?"

"Also, I have another question that I would like to ask Academician Wang Yifang."

"You keep saying that you estimated that only 360 billion yuan is needed to complete the construction. Are you serious?"

"The CEPC project requires a 100km circular tunnel. How big is the engineering workload of this tunnel? Has Academician Wang Yifang ever known about it?"

"Academician Wang Yifang, have you ever consulted the engineering company for a quote?"

"Academician Wang Yifang, do you have a specific list of construction costs?"

“I’d like to see a list of the budget costs, if any.”

"If not, how did Academician Wang Yifang come up with the idea that it would only cost 360 billion to complete the construction of the Large Hadron Collider?"

Wang Donglai's three consecutive questions were like three sharp knives, sharp and cold.

Suddenly, the atmosphere here became extremely quiet.

No one expected that Wang Donglai would be so fierce. In this situation, he would actually say such words, not giving any respect to Wang Yifang, who is also an academician. (End of this chapter)
