From university academician to chief academician

Ye Fei's office!

Ye Fei sat on the office chair and looked at the message posted on Twitter by Edward Witten on the computer screen.

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and chuckled: "If you think you are wrong, then you are wrong. I have no intention of arguing with you."

"Facts speak louder than words. When the results come out, someone will naturally be able to tell the truth from the lies."

Time is like running water, spring passes and autumn comes!

There are some trees planted in an orderly manner on both sides of the main road of the Space Research Institute.

At this moment, the leaves on the trees are withered and yellow, the autumn wind blows, the leaves rustle, and some leaves swirl down from the trees.

Fall to the ground and pave the main road into a golden avenue!

Ye Fei wore a black woolen coat and stepped on the withered yellow leaves, making a squeaking sound.

Many dead leaves crumbled beneath his feet.

After a while, Ye Fei walked into a tall building.

There is a machine more than fifty meters long lying in the building. There are many cranes around the machine. The machine is full of workers, who are busy working around the machine.

The crane moves the parts to the machine one by one, and the workers install the parts on the machine.

The sound of the crane moving, the banging of hammers, and the shouts of workers.

Zhizhizhi~~~

Dangdangdang~~~

Hey yo hey yo~~

Ye Fei looked at the machine and thought to himself: "It seems that the Large Hadron Collider has completed half of its construction."

At this time, a white middle-aged man wearing a red safety helmet came over and said: "Hey, Academician Ye!"

As he spoke, he stood next to Ye Fei, looked side by side at the Large Hadron Collider being built, and said, "Academician Ye, it will be built next summer."

Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "I hope it can be completed faster."

These gringos are very lazy at work, especially in manual labor, and their work efficiency is extremely low.

These gringos only work six hours a day. They don't use Xia workers, only European workers.

If the Xia people could increase the speed by at least three times, they might have built the Large Hadron Collider by now.

The middle-aged man turned to look at Ye Fei and said in shock: "Academician Ye, this is already very fast."

Ye Fei curled his lips inwardly. Is this still very fast? Have you not seen the work efficiency of Xia Guoren?

Of course, Ye Fei also knew that this was how efficient Europeans were at work.

It is impossible to speed them up even if you want them to speed up.

It is impossible for them to work overtime, even if they are paid.

Ye Feidao: "As soon as possible!"

Ye Fei stayed here for about half an hour and then left.

After a while, Ye Fei entered the laboratory wearing a white coat and sat in front of the computer.

Ye Fei opened the cloud and checked the calculation content he assigned to the researchers.

After a long time, Ye Fei finished checking the calculation content and said: "Xiao Wang, please send the cloud data to the aviation laboratory."

"Okay, Dean!"

Ye Fei's research on instantaneous travel is to study the theory first, and now that the theory has been completed, he will study the application later.

The application is to first use the instantaneous shuttle theory to study the aircraft engine, using the aircraft as the experimental object.

After that, study the dark matter detector accelerator.

This is also to have a transition process from easy to difficult.

If even the experiments on airplanes are unsuccessful, they will not be applied to dark matter detectors.

After all, dark matter detectors are precious.

If there are any accidents when the dark matter detector is successfully launched, a lot of money will be lost.

Aviation laboratory!

The aviation laboratory is chaired by Academician Shu Lianghao, who is the first person in Xia Guo's aviation field.

The aviation department attaches great importance to this experiment.

Therefore, the Director of the Aviation Department asked Academician Shu Lianghao, Chief Scientist of the Aviation Department, to personally host the event.

In the aviation laboratory, many researchers wearing white coats sit on chairs and wear virtual glasses. One of them is a middle-aged man, Academician Shu Lianghao.

In the world of the Metaverse, many researchers gathered around a real silver combat aircraft floating in mid-air.

As they gestured with their fingers, the internal structure of the combat aircraft appeared before their eyes. They gestured with their fingers again to modify the internal structure of the combat aircraft.

With their modifications, the performance of combat aircraft became more and more stable.

Shu Lianghao stood in front of the aircraft engine and looked at the internal structure of the engine.

Complicated aircraft engines are constructed from machine parts large and small, some the size of an index finger, others the size of a fingernail.

Although the structure of the aircraft engine is complex, in Shu Lianghao's eyes, he knows the function and name of each part like a treasure.

While Shu Lianghao carefully looked at the internal structure of the engine, he thought to himself: "The Metaverse is really helpful to scientific research."

"Academician Ye still had the foresight to realize that the scientific and technological and educational functions of the Yuan Universe are not open to foreign countries."

"If we open up, the level of science and technology and education abroad will rapidly improve."

"Especially Beili Country. Their technology and education are already better than ours. If they have the technology and education functions of the Yuan Universe."

“It’s like a tiger with even more power!”

"I heard that until now, many people have been actively fighting to let Xia Guo open up the technology and educational functions of the Metaverse."

"These guys are living a dream."

"Even if Xia Guo agrees, we will not allow such a thing to happen."

At this time, a middle-aged man appeared next to Shu Lianghao and said: "Academician Shu, the main laboratory has transmitted the last batch of data."

Shu Lianghao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly urged: "Send the data to me quickly."

"Okay, Academician Shu!"

Shu Lianghao tapped his fingers in the air beside him, and a virtual panel appeared in front of him. Many formulas and data appeared on the virtual panel.

Shu Lianghao looked at the others and said, "Everyone, the last batch of data from the main laboratory has been transmitted."

Everyone's faces showed joy.

Their aircraft engine research has reached the final step. The last batch of data has been sent, and they can complete the final step of the engine research.

Shu Lianghao said: "Everyone, let's get started!"

One month later!

Kyoto Airlines!

Ye Fei, Shu Lianghao, Director Yang of the Satellite Department, Director of the Aviation Department and some researchers.

They were standing on the campus of the Aviation Department, and there was a silver combat aircraft more than a hundred meters away in front of them.

After a while, a young man in a flight suit trotted over. After saluting everyone present, he said, "Director, Bai Zhaonan, the captain of the First Flying Group, is reporting to you that everything is ready. Do you want to start flying?"

The director looked at the other people and nodded. The director said: "Start flying!"

Bai Zhaonan saluted again and trotted away. After running in front of the combat aircraft, he climbed onto the combat aircraft.

Soon, there was a buzz from the combat aircraft.

A ray of silver light suddenly streaked upward from the ground diagonally. The distance of the silver light was very short, only a few dozen meters. It was like lightning and fleeting!

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. The combat plane that was parked on the school field a second ago had disappeared without a trace, and not even a shadow could be seen.

It can't be said that it disappeared, but its flying speed has exceeded the speed visible to the naked eye.

The director looked at the person behind him and said loudly: "Did the satellite capture the combat aircraft? Is the aircraft normal?"

A young man behind the director took out his mobile phone and dialed a few words. Then he looked at the director and said, "Director, we captured it. Everything on the plane is normal. It has flown to the Magic City now."

When the director heard this, he was horrified and said: "This is too fast. Has it been one minute since takeoff?"

"Director, it's only been a minute!"

The director took a deep breath and clucked his tongue: "My dear, this speed..."

The director didn’t even know what to say.

He knew that the performance of the engine developed based on the instantaneous shuttle theory was very good.

An aircraft using this engine would certainly be very fast.

But when the reality was before his eyes, the director still couldn't hide his shock.

The distance from Kyoto to Shanghai is 1,212.8 kilometers. It flies 1,212.8 kilometers in one minute, and the speed is approximately Mach 60.

The fastest aircraft in the world is the X-43 UAV of Beili Country, with a speed of Mach 9.8.

That is, their aircraft is now 6.12 times faster than the fastest aircraft in the world.

6.12 times does not seem surprising. If we use their speed difference, it is Mach 50.2, or 61,499.016 kilometers per hour.

The difference is astonishing.

At this speed, even from the South Pole to the North Pole, it only takes ten minutes.

Moreover, at this speed, as long as there is enough energy, it can reach anywhere on the earth in a very short time.

And, at this speed, no weapon can attack it.

Except for Ye Fei, everyone else took a deep breath.

After a while, the director turned around, held Ye Fei's hand beside him with both hands, and said excitedly: "Academician Ye, thank you, thank you very much!"

"There's not much else to say. If you need anything from our aviation department in the future, just say hello. Our aviation department won't say anything. If we can help you, we will definitely help you. If we can't help you, we will find a way to help you."

This time, the credit is too great. Not only did he create an aircraft engine, he also created the fastest aircraft in the world.

Ye Fei took his hand out of the director's hand in a funny way and said, "This is what I should do, you don't need to thank me."

"Besides, making the engine is my next research experiment."

"Speaking of which, you guys helped me!"

Ye Fei now feels more confident in the research on dark matter detector accelerators.

The director laughed loudly and said: "If you are busy in the future, please feel free to say hello to our aviation department."

Director Yang smiled and said: "Old Ma, you have to treat us to dinner!"

"Definitely, definitely!" The director smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's take it today. What do you think?"

After speaking, the director looked at Ye Fei.

The instant shuttle technology was developed by Ye Fei, and the aircraft engine was also developed with Ye Fei's help.

Therefore, when eating, you still have to see whether Ye Fei nods.

Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

When the director saw Ye Fei nodding, a smile appeared on his face. He also wanted to get closer to Ye Fei.

In Xia Kingdom, the best way to build closer relationships is through dinner.

A dinner party can solve many problems.

That night, they went to a restaurant for dinner.

Of course, Ye Fei is not good at drinking.

The director also noticed that Ye Fei was not good at drinking.

Therefore, everyone didn't drink much wine, just drank lightly and chatted as usual.

Three days later, the conference room of the Yuan Universe Research Institute!

There were many scientific researchers sitting in the conference room. Ye Fei sat at the head and said, "Everyone, after our experimental research on aircraft engines, our theory is correct."

"Next, we started doing research on dark matter detectors."

Everyone nodded, this was planned.

After the experimental research on aircraft engines was successful, he started researching on dark matter detectors.

Ye Feidao: "When conducting research on dark matter detectors, we must also study the expansion of the universe to study the order of black holes."

Ye Fei then talked about how they should research.

In fact, experimental research has been done on aircraft engines, and their next research speed will be very fast.

There is no difficulty in researching dark matter detector accelerators. All that remains is to find the order of black holes.

According to Ye Fei's estimate, all these studies could be completed in less than half a year.

After a long time, the meeting ended.

After Ye Fei walked out of the conference room, his assistant came up and said, "Dean, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Department is looking for you."

"Which deputy director?" Ye Fei walked forward and looked at the assistant.

The Department of Science and Technology has several deputy directors, each of whom is responsible for different work contents.

The assistant said: "It's Deputy Director You!"

Ye Fei frowned slightly, wondering what the deputy director You wanted to do with him. He usually contacted Geng Ye, the director of the Science and Technology Department, and had almost no contact with the deputy directors.

After all, with his status, only the director of the Department of Science and Technology is qualified to talk to him.

Ye Feidao: "Did he call me?"

"No!" The assistant shook his head and said, "He came in person."

Ye Fei said in surprise: "He came without telling anyone in advance!"

Generally, people from outside must notify us in advance. It is very rare for people to come without notice unless there is an emergency.

The assistant said: "He arrived suddenly."

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Where is he now?"

"In the living room!"

Ye Feidao: "Let's go take a look!"

After a while, Ye Fei came to the living room and saw a tall middle-aged man sitting upright on a chair from a distance.

When Ye Fei approached, Deputy Director You might have heard the sound and turned to look at Ye Fei.

Deputy Director You has a square face, strong features, and looks very old-fashioned.

Ye Fei smiled far away: "Director You, hello, hello!"

Deputy Director You stood up and went to greet Ye Fei. A smile appeared on his stern face and he said, "Academician Ye, I'm really sorry that I came to you without notifying you in advance."

With that said, the two came together and shook hands.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "It's okay, they are all members of our own family!"

"Sit down, Director You!"

After they sat down, the assistant brought Ye Fei a cup of tea.

Deputy Director You already had a cup of tea in front of him.

Ye Fei took a sip of tea and said, "Director You, I wonder why you are here today..."

Deputy Director You frowned slightly, stared at Ye Fei closely, and said, "Academician Ye, do you know about nuclear fusion?"

"Nuclear fusion?" Ye Fei was shocked.

Then, Ye Fei said funnyly: "As a scientific researcher, of course I know about nuclear fusion."

"Director You, I don't know why you ask this..."

Ye Fei already had a hunch in his heart that Deputy Director You came to him, maybe to ask him to study nuclear fusion.

Deputy Director You said: "Academician Ye, since the mid-1980s, European and American countries have spent 4.6 billion euros to launch the international nuclear thermal experimental reactor project."

"In 2014, North Korea's Lockheed Martin announced that it had made a technological breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology. The first small reactor that can be installed on the back end of a truck is expected to be born within ten years."

“In 2023, scientists from North Korea conducted hydrogen-boron nuclear fusion in a large-scale spiral device at Japan’s National Fusion Science Institute, and with the help of a detector developed by TAE, measured the reaction product: helium nuclei (alpha particles) .”

"In 2024, Beili Country's small nuclear fusion reactor will be successfully developed!"

"In 2034, just a few days ago, Beili Country's neutral nuclear fusion reaction pair was successfully developed!"

"And our country only started nuclear fusion research in 2003."

"In 2022, the plasma current of the first-generation artificial solar device will exceed 1 million amperes, ranking among the first in the world, and its technical level will be at the forefront of the world."

"But there is still a big gap in nuclear fusion technology with some countries in Europe and the United States."

"Nuclear fusion technology will be the main energy source in the future, allowing mankind to move from a petroleum civilization to a nuclear energy civilization."

"Especially with the current skyrocketing international oil prices and the restrictions on oil development."

"Therefore, we urgently need fusion energy!"

"Academician Ye, I came to you because I want you to join our country's nuclear fusion technology research plan, help our country develop nuclear fusion technology, and bring our country's nuclear fusion technology to the forefront of the world."

Ye Fei thought for a while and then said: "Director You, I have never participated in any energy research!"

"Of course I know this!" Deputy Director You said: "But your research and development capabilities are known to everyone around the world. As long as the research you participate in has not failed."

Ye Fei smiled bitterly when he heard this. It seemed that his reputation was well known to everyone!

Ye Fei said helplessly: "Okay, but I can't participate recently. My current research is not over yet. Only when my research is over can I participate in nuclear fusion research."

Deputy Director You asked urgently: "When will your research end?"

"At most half a year."

Deputy Director You thought about it and realized that half a year was not long.

Although he eagerly hopes to push Xia's nuclear fusion technology to the forefront of the world, he has been waiting for so many years and is not in a hurry for half a year.

Deputy Director You said: "Okay, then we will wait for you for half a year."

After saying that, Deputy Director You and Ye Fei stood up. After shaking hands with each other, Deputy Director You said: "Academician Ye, I won't stay here. I have something to do when I go back."

Ye Feidao: "As you please!"
