From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Accompanied by Gamow-Shapley, the first decision-maker, Duruk-Bent and others visited the main experimental base under construction, and met the scholars in the temporary research institute.

The first decision-maker showed a friendly attitude to the people, shook hands with scholars one by one, ate at the restaurant of the institute, and cared about work and life issues.

Subsequently, the first decision-maker delivered a speech.

The content of the speech is naturally inseparable from the emphasis on research. He also expressed that he will always support the "Groom Lake Project" and look forward to seeing the improvement of technology brought about by research, and so on.

At the end of the day's work, the first decision-maker feels that the trip was worthwhile.

He is quite satisfied with the progress of the "Groom Lake Project", and he also values ​​Gamow-Shapley's ability.

At the same time, he believed that by relying on the "Groom Lake Project", American would surely be able to catch up with flower growers in terms of annihilation force field technology.

After leaving Virginia City, the first decision-maker accepted an interview with reporters in Carson City, the capital of Nevada, and took the initiative to talk about the "Groom Lake Project", clearly stating, "The plan is progressing very smoothly. The new large-scale laboratory Already under construction."

"It's called Groom Lake Laboratory."

"I believe that Groom Lake Laboratory will have the world's most advanced annihilation force field generation technology, and in the short term, our goal is to surpass the technology of florists..."

The first decision-maker not only expressed his confidence, but also promised a time-three years.

"Within three years, we will be able to annihilate the force field and truly catch up with flower growers..."

three years.

This time is very interesting.

The next general election is still about a year and a half away, and the team behind the first decision-maker has already started preparations. His purpose of coming to Virginia City with such a high profile is also to bind the "Groom Lake Project" with himself.

The research related to the annihilation force field represents the development direction of human science and technology.

If American can catch up with the florists in the most important scientific and technological direction by relying on the "Groom Lake Project" that he personally fought for, it will undoubtedly be a very important political achievement. At least it will allow him to obtain a large number of scientists and related high-end Enterprise support.

The first decision-maker is so high-profile, and the media public opinion is naturally very high-profile.

The American media once again carried out large-scale publicity for the "Groom Lake Project", and the "catch-up in three years" mentioned by the first decision-maker was also publicized to the whole world.

American is reporting.

Europe is reporting.

Other countries and regions are also constantly reporting.

Many people couldn't help but talk about the strong annihilation force field technology, and about the three large international research teams, the International Annihilation Theory Organization is the least concerned, they are considered to be 'just joined the competition, and they are doomed to lose '.

Wang Hao's team has the most advanced technology.

The role of the Groom Lake project team as a chaser has attracted much attention due to the hype of American, and it has also been favored by many people.

"The Groom Lake project has such a huge plan, and it also has the best team of scientists. With the full support of American, the technology will sooner or later surpass florists."

"Transcendence has become inevitable, the difference is only time."

"The first decision-maker said three years. I think it's a bit too short. I guess it will take five years?"

"The International Annihilation Theory Organization only needs five years!"

"..."

With so much public opinion, the research of the Groom Lake project team is progressing smoothly.

First of all, they easily bought a large amount of upgrade materials, and the smoothness of the transaction was even somewhat unexpected.

Because the two parties are direct competitors in technical research, many people originally thought that the florists would definitely impose restrictions on material transactions.

They also asked some companies to help purchase upgrade materials. As a result, all transactions went smoothly. Even the materials they ordered in the name of Groom Lake Laboratory were delivered very smoothly.

After having enough upgraded materials, their research officially started, and they began to study superconducting materials in a small way.

soon.

They developed a superconducting material using first-order iron and created a 13% antigravity field when the superconducting state was excited.

This success greatly boosted the confidence of the participating scholars.

In fact, the research results are not a big deal, because the antigravity field in the superconducting state cannot be superimposed to form a strong annihilation force field. What they need is a superconducting material that can excite the antigravity field before the critical superconducting state.

However, a good start is half the battle.

Using first-order iron to quickly develop a superconducting material with anti-gravity properties, doesn't it prove that their research and development direction is correct?

...

The Groom Lake project is in full swing.

A lot of media took advantage of the heat to write articles one by one, and also analyzed three international strong annihilation force field research teams, and kept using them for comparison.

At this time, if you read more relevant reports from the media, you may have several feelings. One is that the competition for strong annihilation force field technology has become fierce.

In addition, the technology of Groom Lake Laboratory will soon surpass Wang Hao's team.

The third is that the research of the International Annihilation Theory Organization is completely meaningless. They continue the research of Wang Hao's team, and they are destined to follow the other two teams to eat ashes.

Faced with such a situation of public opinion, Bill Bryan, head of the International Annihilation Theory Organization, stood up and said, "There is nothing wrong with our research."

"Upgrading materials is a good direction, but it has never been explored."

"Wang Hao's team has mastered the most high-end technology. They used high-pressure mixed materials to create a force field with an 8-fold strength, which proves that this direction is correct."

"As for catching up..."

"The annihilation force field technology has just appeared. In a new field of physics, a new direction of scientific and technological research, a few years or ten years are very short."

"This will require longer, ongoing exploration..."

Bill Bryan's speech was still very successful. He admitted that he could not catch up with progress in a short time, but at the same time he also confirmed the correctness of the research direction.

This is actually easy to understand.

Just like the research and manufacture of the atomic bomb, with the successful precedent of the American Manhattan Project, other countries will soon follow up and manufacture it.

The most important thing in scientific research is the direction.

When researching in the right direction, success is only a matter of time.

Bill Bryan is sure that they are going in the right direction. As for catching up, they are in a hurry, because any technical research will definitely have an upper limit.

Even if you have mastered the highest-end technology, after reaching the upper limit of technology, you can only watch the latecomers slowly catch up.

This is why the O League and other countries decided to support the International Annihilation Theory Organization.

When the International Annihilation Theory Organization stood up and spoke out, the media and public opinion could not help but pay attention to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.

result……

They waited for nothing.

The Antigravity Behavior Research Center was very calm, and no one stood up to be interviewed at all, as if the heated public opinion had nothing to do with them or did not exist at all.

Many people also sent negative discussions, "They must be afraid and dare not speak!"

"I guess there is nothing to say. After all, they have the most advanced technology. What can they say in the face of latecomers?"

"But you can't lose your momentum!"

"..."

The Antigravity Behavior Research Center has no time to care about public opinion, and the institutions directly related to the annihilation force field research are all in a busy state.

The Antigravity Behavior Research Center and Superconducting Materials Research Center have been researching granular antigravity material technology, while the annihilation force field experiment group and the accompanying material testing center are busy determining the new upgraded element 'first-order carbon' discovery.

There is good news today.

The material testing center finally extracted the first-order carbon, and determined several physical properties including melting point and boiling point.

Wang Hao immediately went to the material testing center to check the report.

Wang Hui and Zhou Qing led the research team of the Material Testing Center to come up with a complete set of laboratory extraction plans. It took nearly two weeks and a lot of magnetized carbon materials to succeed.

Zhou Qing held a vacuum glass vessel, and there were a few small black spots like impurities in it, "These are first-order carbons."

"After the extraction was complete, we identified several data."

"The content of the first-order carbon is between 0.17% and 0.2%, and the melting point is 4209 degrees Celsius. There is no data on the boiling point yet, and it can only be confirmed that it exceeds 4900 degrees Celsius."

He added, "We can't heat materials beyond 5,000 degrees Celsius without vacuum."

To put it bluntly, it is unwilling to lose material for the determination of boiling point.

The extraction process of the first-order carbon is too complicated. Up to now, more than 30 million funds have been spent, and the total amount extracted has not reached one gram.

In this case, naturally, the material cannot be lost in order to measure a physical data.

Wang Hao read the report carefully, frowning and thinking, "It seems that the extraction is still limited by the equipment. If you want to extract on a large scale, you must have more sophisticated vacuum equipment."

"yes."

Zhou Qing and Wang Hui nodded in anticipation.

The current vacuum experimental equipment is very advanced, but not the most advanced. They very much hope to introduce more sophisticated and advanced equipment.

only……

The price is too expensive!

Wang Hao thought about it and said, "When we bought equipment last time, we thought about buying the highest-end equipment, but the highest-end vacuum experiment equipment is produced by a German company. This time we ordered two from them... "

"Does it cost tens of billions? Besides, they may not sell it, right?"

Wang Hui frowned.

High-end equipment cannot be bought with money.

Many countries have technology export restrictions on florists. Simply put, they will not sell some high-end equipment to florists.

Wang Hao said with a smile, "Not before, but not necessarily now, we use equipment to extract first-order carbon elements."

He looked at Zhou Qing and said, "The things in your hand may be enough to make them let go of the restrictions."

"Right."

"Indeed it is."

Wang Hui and Zhou Qing looked at each other and nodded in unison.

From the perspective of scientific research, first-order carbon has a very huge value. The purpose of export restrictions is to limit technology research and development. If a certain exchange can be reached, high-end equipment can also be bought.

This is not what they think about.

As long as the demand is submitted, the superior department will naturally find a way to buy the equipment.

If you really can’t buy it, there’s nothing you can do. It’s just that the first-order carbon extraction speed is far from enough, so naturally it’s difficult to provide it to other institutions?

After talking about the problem with the equipment, Wang Hao told the Material Testing Center to spare no expense to extract the first-order carbon.

"Don't worry about funding."

"What we need is more first-order carbon materials!"

"As long as more materials can be extracted, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it."

Under Wang Hao's promise of "unlimited" funding, all the staff in the Material Testing Center are very motivated, and they have never done such extravagant experimental work.

Expensive materials, use whatever you want!

High-end equipment, non-stop operation!

Discuss the plan, regardless of the cost...

For them, this kind of experimental work is an extremely luxurious enjoyment process. Some people can't wait to work 24 hours a day.

Of course, the funds will be consumed quickly.

In just half a month, nearly 700 million yuan of funds were burned, and two pieces of equipment worth more than 100 million yuan were damaged.

These are all written in the funding report.

The science and technology department received a report on the use of funds for the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Base, and Teacher Xu felt his scalp tingle just by glancing at it.

Ten digits!

The ten digits are still the most basic, and there are several applications for new equipment.

"This burn rate..."

"Fortunately, the profit of Annihilation Technology Company is not low, otherwise..." Teacher Xu could only smile wryly, and he also knew that the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Group must be doing some important research.

He simply asked his secretary Xiao Zhang to make another trip.

It only took Xiao Zhang a day and a half to go back and forth. He returned to the office with extreme exhaustion, and said three words to Teacher Xu, "First-order carbon!"

"..."

Teacher Xu's eyes widened, "First-order carbon? Are you sure?"

Xiao Zhang said, "They have already extracted it, but the extraction cost is very high. Most of the funds are spent on the extraction of first-order carbon. Moreover, Academician Wang said that he plans to purchase two state-of-the-art vacuum experiments from a German company. The equipment is estimated to need more than five billion."

Teacher Xu pursed his lips hard, nodded and said, "Then there's no problem."

After he finished speaking, he said to Xiao Zhang, "This trip is very hard, you should go to rest first, and give you an extra day off."

"Thank you Teacher Xu!"

Xiao Zhang quickly left to rest.

Mr. Xu sat in the office, thinking about the problem of discovering first-order carbon, and his first thought was to sell first-order materials.

because……

1st order iron brings in too much income!

The first-order iron has brought a lot of income to the science and technology department, and has also established annihilation technology company with this, continuously earning large profits.

Now the discovery of first-order carbon...

Carbon!

"There must be many scientific research institutions interested in it!"

"From a technological point of view, carbon may be more valuable than iron and lithium, and it contains huge and economic potential."

"With carbon and iron, we can manufacture first-order steel, which is a pure first-order material, but it seems that it is still difficult to mass-produce..."

"Temporary costs are high."

Thinking about it, Mr. Xu couldn't help but think of the last time he sold first-order iron. A company in American bought tens of grams in bulk at one go and made billions of dollars at once.

That is really rich!

Teacher Xu felt overwhelmed when he thought about it. With higher-end technology, he could bring in more income, and with income, he could have more funds.

At that time, other scientific research fields can also take care of it.

This is mutually reinforcing.

"In any case, the discovery of first-order carbon is very important."

"Now I just know that there is a discovery. I still have to go to the annihilation force field experiment team to see what the specific situation is..."

He made a decision.
