From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Since becoming the leader of the Groom Lake project team, Croat James has led the team in research and development and has always adopted a "conservative" strategy.

When setting the direction of research and development, he claimed to complete a big plan. In fact, he had no plan and was just doing routine experiments steadily.

When encountering experimental problems, those with risks are basically excluded, and those that cost a lot of money are not considered at all.

These performances are mainly due to consideration of competition and learning from the lessons of the predecessor.

In terms of competition, no matter how hard the Groom Lake project works, it is impossible to catch up with the Anti-Gravity Center, which is considered a competitor.

Therefore, no matter how good their research and development is, no matter how breakthrough their results are, they will not be widely recognized, just because they are targeting the anti-gravity center.

The Anti-Gravity Center has mastered several ultra-high-end technologies, except for the strong annihilation force field. Nowadays, even a basic technology is extremely difficult to overcome.

Since you can't keep up with your competitors in research and development, you can just do some small research with peace of mind, and you will be recognized by the academic circle.

In addition, they spend less money on research, so they will not put pressure on their superiors, and they will also get support and recognition from some senior leaders.

If you dig deeper, they still have a lot of achievements, and they are often listed in top academic journals. Just looking at the number of results papers, they are definitely much higher than the previous ones. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are even the top.

This is normal.

In the direction of strong annihilation force fields, only a few institutions in the world are conducting research, and there are many directions in annihilation physics. They even only need to conduct a small experiment, and they will make discoveries worth mentioning.

When focusing on small research results and focusing on publishing papers, they can even publish papers for every experiment.

Of course, there are no big breakthroughs.

Many things need to be compared before we can talk about whether they are good or bad. The previous responsible persons had many accidents and spent a lot of money, but there were no results to speak of. They focused on completing some small studies and seemed to do just that. Very good.

With a conservative strategy in research and development, Corot-James gained recognition from his superiors and academic circles.

People don't need to think about it at all.

They are scientific research institutions, not politicians. They do not need the support of ordinary people, and ordinary people know very little. On the contrary, they have more demanding requirements. They always compare the Groom Lake project team with the Anti-Gravity Center. Not satisfied with the progress of the project team.

What can be done about this?

Kolot-James thought very comprehensively from the beginning. He felt that he could work for more than a year. He would not be fired as "mediocre" until the patience of his superiors was exhausted, or a better person appeared.

This achieves the goal.

Anyway, I have already received a large salary, so being fired does not matter at all.

The development of things was different from what he imagined. James did not expect that he would be able to stay in office for such a long time and have the support of the No. 1 decision-maker.

Perhaps another reason is that the superiors have accepted the reality that high-end technology cannot catch up with flower growers, but are very satisfied with James's calm research.

At least, James didn't ask for a large amount of money, and they didn't need to interfere.

As a result, the term ran into electoral disputes.

When caught in a campaign dispute, James was considered a representative figure that the No. 1 decision-maker could support, and he suddenly became a target of attacks by competing parties.

James was a little panicked at first, but when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized that it was actually not a big deal, even if a lot of media questioned him and many people came out and scolded him for being incompetent...

The problem is that the most he can say personally is that he has no big results and does not involve anything illegal.

Therefore, he has been waiting for the opportunity, and then he can step down as a "politically persecuted person". As a "politically persecuted person", he will obviously receive sympathy from the society, and he will also receive sympathy from the society after leaving office. will be slowly forgotten.

At that time, there will be no consequences, and it will be better than the situation of conventional resignation.

Now is a good time.

The spacecraft company has released a long-distance voyage plan. Tianhang-01 will carry more than a hundred people, and some scientists from outside the flower garden will also board the ship.

For such a major scientific research and exploration project, Amrican officials were unable to obtain any quota, which made the public feel the gap between them and the flower growers. They were once the number one in the world, but now they even feel that they cannot catch up with some third world countries--

Those small countries that can be ignored may get boarding quotas.

They were the former overlords!

The competing parties took advantage of the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive. The No. 1 decision-maker was suddenly passive to the extreme, and the public's support rate also dropped rapidly.

Korot James thinks it’s time to stand up.

He applied and went to the White House.

In front of the White House, he accepted an interview with reporters and said, "We have been working hard, all of us put in 100 percent."

"But people always compare us with the Anti-Gravity Center. You know, that's Wang Hao's team."

"Who can compare to Wang Hao?"

"Tianhang is very powerful and represents the most advanced technology of mankind. We also hope to develop those technologies, but conventional scientific research is like this. Each technology takes many years."

"As the leader of the Groom Lake project team, I have a clear conscience. You can check it out. We have published a lot of successes, but they are not noticed at all. All research is not worth mentioning in front of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation."

After James finished speaking, he entered the white room. After waiting for only ten minutes, he met the No. 1 decision-maker. His purpose was very straightforward, which was to submit his resignation face to face.

At the same time, James expressed his love for research and his frustration at being forced to resign due to public opinion.

The No. 1 decision-maker grasped the key words——

Political persecution!

He originally wanted to try his best to retain Corot James, because James was the representative figure of technological support during his administration. James' resignation or dismissal would mean the failure of his technological support direction.

It’s different with ‘keywords’.

The team behind the No. 1 decision-maker immediately thought of a way to counterattack with public opinion. They wanted to shape Clote James into a very outstanding scholar who was helplessly subjected to political oppression.

Under political pressure, James, who devoted himself to scientific research, had to submit his resignation and leave.

That kind of sadness and loneliness is easy to sympathize with.

Everything needs to be compared.

Korot-James did not achieve great results, but his performance was much better than that of his predecessors. His greatest contribution was the discovery of f-rays.

Outside of flower growers, Corot James's achievements can be said to be the highest.

He has no personal stain to speak of.

Competitors' public opinion attacks on James are mostly just questioning the lack of big results, nothing more.

The No. 1 decision-maker signed his resignation and immediately held a press conference, saying with sadness, "Unfortunately, Korot resigned."

"I tried my best to stay, but he was very determined."

"He is an excellent person, an extremely good scientist, dedicated to scientific research, and public opinion is unfair to him."

"Many people say it is a failure in scientific research, but we can't find Wang Hao who belongs to Amrican..."

Throughout the press conference, the No. 1 decision-maker was talking about the excellence of Corot James. He also listed James's contributions, highlighting his discovery of F-rays.

The main theories and technologies of annihilation physics belong to florists. Corot-James' research broke the florists' monopoly on F-ray technology and was the only major technological discovery outside of florists.

What he wants to express is that Corot James is very good, which proves that he is correct in the direction of science and technology support policy.

In addition, he attributed James' resignation to the public opinion persecution launched by his competitors.

After the media reported it, public opinion quickly changed.

Previously, the public opinion against Kolot James only said that he did not lead the Groom Lake project team to achieve any big results.

To put it simply, it is incompetence.

This illustrates the failure of decision-maker No. 1 in the field of technological support.

Now that James has become a "persecuted person," many media have begun to dig deeper and found that James himself has no stain and that research and development has achieved certain results.

Compared with previous project leaders, James can even be said to be very good.

Why did you resign?

Naturally, it was because of the public opinion offensive launched by his competitors, and many politicians from his competitors came forward to accuse him, that he was forced to resign under various pressures.

After all, Corot-James is just a pure scientist.

This is also James' purpose.

The reason why I chose to resign until now is firstly to get more salary, and secondly because public opinion has risen to a high point, and many people will believe me in the form of a victim.

He is the victim.

He was forced to resign.

As the leader of the Groom Lake project team, the risk of resigning is still very high. Being fired like Empoli-Cubo is already the best outcome.

Now he has written about a better outcome, is widely sympathized with as a ‘persecuted man’, and is recognized for his achievements in office.

At this time, no one cared about the high salary that Kollot James took.

Collot James stared at the numbers in the account, unable to stop the smile on his face.

14 million US dollars is still income after paying a large amount of taxes.

James sighed helplessly, "Now all that's left is money. It seems like it's time to take a good rest."

He considered returning to Caltech first. He was originally a professor at Caltech. With the resume of the Groom Lake project team, it would be easy to re-sign the work contract.

At that time, you can live a free and unrestrained life of pure love with a female graduate student.

The difference is, there's still plenty of money to spend.

James was very excited just thinking about it, he was already looking forward to it.

A phone call disrupted all his plans, "Is it Mr. James?"

"I am Stephen Baer, ​​the executive president of Moned Technology. You must know about the voyage plan, right? We would like to invite you to board the spacecraft on behalf of Moned."

"No, of course this is not a joke!"

"I think we need to interview..."

…

at the same time.

Tianhang-01's voyage plan has reached the final stage. All details of the voyage plan have been discussed internally, and the base has become busier than usual.

Everyone is working hard, testing various parts of Tianhang-01, and constantly debugging various high-end equipment. The electronic system team also sorted out the underlying code to minimize the probability of problems.

Inside the Tianjin Aerospace Base, several large satellites have been transported and the satellite cabins have been installed in advance, and various detectors have also been transported to the cabin one by one.

The satellite and detector release systems have been debugged several times to ensure that there will be no problems.

The most critical task is the control and testing of the anti-gravity spacecraft.

The spacecraft company attaches great importance to the detection of Europa. They hope that the anti-gravity spacecraft can successfully land on Europa and complete the planned plan to obtain samples.

In this plan, the anti-gravity spacecraft is not electronically controlled and requires human operation.

In other words, humans will set foot on a planet beyond the moon for the first time, and will also carry out the task of planting the flag on Europa.

Wang Hao participated in several rounds of anti-gravity spacecraft tests and found that there were no major problems, so he handed over the work to others.

He has a more interesting job - strong S-wave research and development.

The research on F-rays stimulated by strong S waves has reached the final stage, and the inspiration value is about to reach 100 points. Wang Hao still hopes to complete relevant research before the voyage plan.

After explaining the work again, he immediately went to the Qiang S-wave R\u0026D base.

At this time, the external magnetic field equipment has been designed and manufactured, and we are waiting for a new experiment.

When he left last time, the design of the external magnetic field was in progress. Wang Hao was also concerned about the magnetic field design during the work. He also conducted special research and revised the design twice.

The external magnetic field equipment manufactured now is a finalized design.

The external magnetic field device will excite a magnetic field that spirals outward. The magnetic field will circulate a total of four times, leaving only a small gap in each circle, which is about 5% of the magnetic force of a single circle.

In the end, the gap left by the magnetic field is very small, and the exact value is 0.05 to the fourth power.

Such a small gap is to increase the intensity of the excitation field force. The principle can be simply understood as a water jet. The smaller the water flow hole under high pressure, the greater the power of the water jet.

When Wang Hao returned to the strong S-wave research base, a new experiment was ready.

Wang Hao first checked the work situation in the recent period, then went to the site to see the external magnetic field equipment, and then asked the research team to conduct the final inspection, that is, to make final experimental preparations.

Testing, of course, there is no problem.

The previous device was able to operate normally, but now it just added a magnetic field device, and soon all the tests passed.

The next morning the weather was fine.

Wang Hao asked the research team to check the direction one last time, mainly considering that f-rays would be excited and released to a long distance. The f-rays must successfully pass through the target before they can be detected by the research team.

There are other situations, such as creating a field force, which also need to be released to the ground in order to be noticed.

If released at high altitude, it may be noticed by ordinary people and may also cause certain dangers.

When everything was ready, Wang Hao and the theory team left the base and went to the air raid shelter a few kilometers away. They only needed to remotely view and wait for the results.

"Turn on the magnetic field device!"

"Plug it in!"

"Connect the security line and prepare..."

"Start the countdown, three seconds -"

"3."

"2."

"1."

Following the command to turn on the equipment, the strong S-wave equipment was turned on to create a black ball that flashed with electric light.

Although several experiments have been carried out, the black balls produced every time are still amazing. After the black balls are produced, the next step is to turn on the external magnetic field.

The connection between the external magnetic field and the high-pressure magnetic field will cause an extremely small gap in the magnetic field.

After confirming that everything was OK, Wang Qiang issued the final command, "Turn on the external magnetic field!"

With a shout, everyone looked at the black ball. They endured the discomfort in their eyes and were unwilling to blink for fear of missing the most critical moment.

Under everyone's gaze, the black ball seemed to flash for a moment, and then slowly disappeared.
