From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The deuterium-deuterium reaction, also known as the deuterium fusion reaction, usually occurs as a side reaction of the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction.

That is, in the process of deuterium-tritium fusion, there will be some reactions between deuterium-deuterium particles.

If it is only the nuclear fusion reaction of deuterium, humans have not yet achieved ignition, even in the laboratory.

Therefore, the experts only have two words for the judgment of intelligence——

Fake!

This result did not satisfy the decision-makers of American. They still trusted the intelligence system. The flower planters used deuterium-deuterium fusion to control the nuclear fusion project, which was the result of comprehensive analysis based on a series of intelligence.

The intelligence department's evaluation of the reliability of information is as high as 97%.

The official who organized the meeting immediately said, "Don't just discuss the possibility or the impossibility. There is no problem with our intelligence system. The credibility of this news is very high."

"If fusion engineering does use deuterium-deuterium fusion, how do they do it?"

The release of this question has aroused the thinking of experts.

When they heard the news, they subconsciously thought it was impossible, but the information might be true, so how did the other party achieve the ignition?

Englik Lehman, a young professor from the University of Pennsylvania, said, "I think there is a possibility. The material they use is not conventional deuterium, but first-order deuterium produced under a strong annihilation force field."

"The research results released by the Antigravity Behavior Research Center last time said that the first-order hydrogen element was discovered. The experimental results of the Groom Lake project project team showed that the critical line of iron isotope promotion is consistent. In other words, If the first-order hydrogen element can be produced, the first-order deuterium element can be produced."

"They may be performing first-order deuterium-deuterium fusion!"

Englik Lehman's words caused the meeting to fall into discussion, and many people thought it was very possible after discussing it.

Since the first-order deuterium can be produced, and nuclear fusion-related project research is being carried out at the same time, it is naturally possible to use the first-order deuterium in nuclear fusion experiments.

"So what happens to the first-order deuterium-deuterium reaction?"

"Maybe it is the expansion of the reaction cross section? Theoretically speaking, it is unlikely to expand to the extent of deuterium-tritium fusion, but the cross section of the fusion reaction increases exponentially, and it is possible to increase it by ten times."

"It may also be a comprehensive fusion reaction. For example, they added a small amount of first-order tritium to allow the reaction to proceed quickly, and then maintain the first-order deuterium-deuterium reaction."

"In any case, the premise to support this kind of research is that they can manufacture first-order deuterium elements on a large scale..."

"..."

The results of this analysis made many people feel depressed.

If it is a conventional deuterium-deuterium reaction, they can still think about whether there is any unknown technology in it, but if it is a first-order deuterium-deuterium reaction, it is completely a first-order material problem.

It is impossible for them to obtain the first-order deuterium material.

The officials at the decision-making level immediately thought of the Groom Lake project. If they could create a high-intensity annihilation force field, they would definitely discover a lot of new materials. In a similar situation, there is no need to organize expert analysis.

"Or because the plan is not going well."

"A lot of fields can't keep up with the rhythm of flower growers. If the other party has any novel materials and technologies, they have to find a group of people to discuss..."

"Groom Lake plan, we must pay more attention to it!"

They are far behind in annihilation field technology, and some people even think that it is impossible for them to catch up.

There are many others who hold similar views.

Decision Maker No. 1 listened to the meeting report, and couldn't help but think of the colonial era hundreds of years ago, when a large number of colonists used advanced weapons in their hands to colonize backward areas.

At that time, the aborigines who were colonized everywhere saw the great power of muskets and artillery, maybe they thought it was the gods who came to the world?

They definitely don't understand at all.

Perhaps the indigenous leader will call the wise people in the tribe to study together what kind of artifact the other party is using...

"Isn't this who we are now?"

Decision Maker No. 1 thought about shaking his head quickly. They are not some indigenous tribes, but one of the most developed countries on earth.

However, the situation with the Groom Lake project is very troubling.

The problems they encountered now were not only backwardness in research, but even the management of the plan. The first thing that bears the brunt is that after Ronald Nolan was fired, no one else took the initiative to apply for the position of person in charge.

This is a very strange thing!

Many people were very active before, hoping to win the position of the person in charge. The person in charge of the plan is not just a position, but also represents higher salary, more bonuses, and more rights, which can be controlled The funds are all started in billions of dollars.

At the same time, being the person in charge of the plan can also expand one's international influence in various aspects, and no matter where one goes, one will be considered a 'big shot'.

If the research can make great progress, maybe it will be recorded in history.

After a few more decades, it will be recorded in the history books, "The Groom Lake project was not successful at the beginning. After changing the person in charge several times in a row, it was finally realized under the leadership of so-and-so..."

"finished……"

etc.

In short, as the person in charge of the project plan, you can get huge money, fame and personal influence.

No one applied for such a position at all.

The No. 1 decision-maker was also very troubled by this. He discussed with the staff group and officials of the Ministry of Energy, and finally decided to appoint Empoli Kubo who was far away in Switzerland.

There's no one better suited to take Ronald Nolan's job than Empoli Kubo.

This position originally belonged to Empoli Cooper, but his luck was not very good. When he was reactivated, he went to the International Annihilation Theory Organization, and Ronald Nolan came from behind to become the person in charge.

Now……

"It's time to interview Kubo!" Decision-maker No. 1 made a decision.

...

Empoli-Cooper received word that the No. 1 decision maker wanted to meet with him in person.

He struggled with it.

He knows that he has a high probability of succeeding Ronald Nolan, but his thinking is different now, especially after talking with Corot James. person in charge.

Corot-James did not specifically talk about the reasons for not being the person in charge. His suggestions are all like this, "What, you want to be in charge? If you ask me to say something, I will only remind you-"

"Don't-do-this!"

He said very forcefully, "In the current project team, whoever comes is a fool, and the person in charge is the biggest fool."

"Why do you think no one has taken the initiative to apply? You should think about it carefully."

"This is the hot potato."

"As long as you take over, there will be no good end, and it is only a matter of time before you are fired..."

"..."

Knowing that you will still be fired in the end, it is too tempting to be the head of a huge $55 billion scientific research project.

On the way back on the plane, Cooper kept thinking about it. He still decided to leave the decision-making power to luck instead of fighting for it himself.

white house.

Cooper meets Decision Maker One.

There are several members of the staff group next to him. He seems to be censored by a group of people, but it doesn't matter if he can't be the person in charge. His performance is very calm.

"Empoli, you have worked in the Annihilation Organization for a long time, and you also led the construction of the first strong annihilation force field generation device. What do you think of the follow-up research?"

This is a question from decision maker No. 1.

Cooper said frankly, "I don't know."

This answer surprised everyone in the office. No matter which top scholar they asked, they would give a clear direction instead of directly saying they didn't know.

To some extent, directly saying that you don’t know is tantamount to giving up. Any large research project will not choose a person in charge who is not even clear about the main research direction.

Kubo said indifferently, "I really don't know the direction of the next step, just like you don't know what kind of technology the anti-gravity center uses to create an annihilation force field of more than ten times."

"I work in the annihilation organization, but all I know is the existing technology, that is, based on high-pressure mixed materials, force field superposition, magnetic field interference, etc. to create a strong annihilation force field."

"The problem with this technology is that the strong annihilation force field is only a thin layer, and coupled with the complex magnetic field device on the outer layer, it cannot be used for mass production of magnetized materials."

"We are not only far behind in the technology of annihilation force field strength, but also in other unknown bases."

"We may even be behind in theory."

"I dare say that any physicist, scientist, or scholar in other fields who can find it knows the clear direction of the next step..."

"So I can't make any guarantees."

"If I were the project leader, I would only let the project team focus on reality and advance research step by step, instead of making big strides and spending a lot of money on things that might be wrong."

Cooper's tone was very earnest.

Decision maker No. 1 nodded after listening to the thought, "You can go."

"It seems that there is no hope." Kubo walked out of the white house, looked back again, shrugged his shoulders and left with his hands in his trouser pockets.

in the office.

The staff members are discussing.

Most people are not optimistic about Kubo as the person in charge, because he has no clear research direction.

The No. 1 decision maker didn’t see it that way. He said, “Others have a clear direction, such as Shapley, such as Nolan, and it turned out that they all failed.”

"Together they spent more than half of the funding."

"In the end, we still used the exchanged technology to create a seven times stronger annihilation force field. That device can only be used for experiments."

"Those scholars who say they have a clear direction have no theoretical support at all, and no one knows whether it is correct. They just write a report, express their views, and then try to convince others, including me of course. "

"How can I trust them?"

The words of decision maker No. 1 caused everyone in the office to think about it, and then someone proposed, "It is also possible to let Kubo be the temporary person in charge, at least until the right direction is found."

"In any case, someone has to be in charge of the project."

"Cooper has a lot of experience."

"Under the leadership of Kubo, at least the project team will not lose a lot of money in vain..."

...

soon.

The news that Empoli Cooper was the head of the Groom Lake Project project team spread out. At the same time, Cooper had already heard the news and came to the experimental base full of excitement.

Cooper is in charge, which is completely different from Nolan's situation.

He had been working in the International Annihilation Theory Organization before, so he would naturally allocate funds to continue to support the research of the Annihilation Organization.

Cooper's first day on the job was dealing with documents in support of Oblivion.

He signed his name on the document, which means that the Groom Lake Project will support the Annihilation Organization with 500 million funds, and it will be paid quickly within half a month.

This feeling is really good.

Think about it, just looking at the document and signing your name on it, you have decided where the 500 million US dollars will go.

Cooper feels the benefits of entitlement.

The next step is to organize core scholars to hold a meeting on the next research plan.

People in the project team are waiting for Kubo to give orders. No scholar is sure what the right direction is. Kubo said, "First of all, let me emphasize that I am not in charge of leading the project team to catch up with Wang Hao's team... "

"It's clear to everyone that it's impossible in a short time."

"We don't need such false slogans, but we also need to understand their technology, so we will continue to purchase first-order materials and increase cooperation with materials laboratories."

"It's going to be one of the core jobs."

"Now our main work is to focus on the new equipment, to study the thin layer of strong annihilation force field, and to study the relationship between the internal field force and the built-in energy intensity."

"Advance step by step!"

"I believe that only by laying a good foundation and having enough accumulation can we determine the direction of the next step and enter the next stage..."

Kubo's speech was still very successful.

Although he did not specify a clear direction, the work plans he has made are very practical. If you do research slowly, you will definitely make progress.

At the same time, Kubo also promoted his "own man".

Corot James was appointed as the deputy director of the experiment, and the experiments related to the strong annihilation force field equipment were all in charge of Corot James.

James was not very satisfied.

After the meeting.

James said to Cooper with depression, "Empoli, thank you for your trust in me, this makes my work busier."

"However, I'm very happy with the position."

"It's not because of the promotion, it's not because of the salary increase, it's because I will be considered 'your person', and when you are fired, I probably won't be fired, but I will definitely be transferred elsewhere."

"Most likely to be Switzerland."

"At that time, I will be able to return to that beautiful holy land..."

Cooper was dumbfounded.

He half-opened his mouth and complained for a long time, "You are such an animal that thinks from the lower body!"

James didn't care, "Because I'm a normal man, if your way of thinking is different from mine, it means..."

His eyes aimed at Kubo's lower body, and the corner of his mouth revealed a look of disdain.

Kubo can only use one sentence to explain his mood at this time——

"Fu-ck-you!"
