I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 989 The core decision-making team!

Qin Ke has high hopes for this "World Conference of Ten Thousand Scientists". The goal is to complete the detailed design plan of the entire "Planet Shield" plan within half a year and implement every key technology in every link, even here If the problem cannot be solved immediately within half a year, specific research ideas and a plan for overcoming difficulties must be clearly defined.

The "Planet Shield" plan involves too many sub-disciplines and manufacturing processes. Some key links include "how to convert and utilize the electromagnetic energy of solar storms", "how to restore the balance of the global magnetic field", "whether the electromagnetic shielding layer can completely resist the enhanced electromagnetic Radiation, high-energy charged particles and fast plasma clouds, etc., Qin Ke only listed a rough solution idea. Whether this idea can be effective and how to concrete it requires experts to comprehensively study, judge and improve it. After all, Qin Ke can only focus on himself. Limited, even with god-level strength, it is impossible to solve every technical problem in every detail.

At present, the participants of the entire conference are divided into more than 170 groups. Except for the 79 "Key Technology Research Groups", the other groups are "Technical Implementation Groups", composed of experienced experts in various fields, responsible for the development of the identified technologies. The route and main ideas will be refined and improved, and a specific implementation division of labor and schedule will be established.

To put it simply, the framework of the plan has been established by Qin Ke. The remaining key technologies that have not been completed must be researched quickly, and the parts of the technical problems that have been solved must be implemented. The goal is to establish a clear plan, complete technology, and executable The "detailed design plan" was implemented in order to implement it according to this plan, ensure the completion progress, and finally build an unbreakable "planetary shield" before the arrival of the "super giant solar storm".

The entire process of refining the plan is actually a process of "argument," "negotiation," "compromise," and "passing" by countless scientists in their respective professional fields.

As the "decision-making team" with the highest decision-making power, whether it can resolve differences within each team in a timely manner and quickly point out the right direction has become the key to the success or failure of this "planetary shield" plan.

At this time, Qin Ke was chatting and communicating with the members of the "decision-making team" in the "Chief Scientist Building" of Qingmu University while drinking the best Mingqian Longjing tea, trying to twist the "decision-making team" into one A powerful fist.

Among everyone present, except for him, Ning Qingyun, and Tao Zhexuan, there were also Professor Kajita Takaaki from Japan and the newly arrived Brian Schmidt, the old man with frost-stained temples, and the other eight seniors had gray hair. , The man's eyebrows are bright.

But these old-timers still have sharp eyesight, and their eyes are shining with wisdom, and their conversations do not have the twilight of the elderly at all.

There are now thirteen people sitting in the tea room. These are all the members of the "decision-making team" with the highest decision-making power and the most critical position in the entire plan, including:

This tea room has also become a good place for Qin Ke to communicate with Western mathematicians.

For example, Mr. Roger Penrose, who is 93 years old this year, is a mathematical physicist from Eagle Country, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and is as famous as Stephen Hawking in terms of general relativity and cosmology. When Qin Ke was in junior high school, he read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and saw this name in the "thank you page" at the end.

It’s just that Mr. Yang felt that he was over a hundred years old and lacked energy, so there was no need to take up a quota and not work, so he declined the invitation and called Qin Ke personally, saying: "Work hard and don't have any worries. The future belongs to you young people." The world of man.”

Another example is Rainer Weiss, 91 years old this year, an expert in cosmic background radiation measurement and gravitational wave detection, and one of the founders of NASA's cosmic background detector cosmic microwave mission; Klaus Hasselmann, 92 years old this year , an expert in planetary climatology and weather prediction, served as the director of the Planck Institute of Meteorology, and also served as the chief scientist of the European Meteorological Center for a long time.

Of course, regardless of whether his current reputation exceeds that of these seniors, he treats these seniors with respect. After all, they are all scientists who have made great contributions to human civilization.

Each of these members is a well-known big shot, and Qin Ken had heard of at least half of their names before he entered high school.

Qin Ke (Xia Kingdom), Ning Qingjun (Xia Kingdom), Mr. Qiu (American Country), Edward Witten (American Country), Tao Zhexuan (American Country), Klaus Hasselmann (Deguo), Roger Penrose (Eagles), Michel Mayor (Switzerland), Jha Moreau (United States), Rainer Weiss (United States), Andre Geim (Netherlands), Takaaki Kajida (Japan), Brian Schmidt (Australia).

Now, this place has become a place for Qin Ke to enhance understanding and reach consensus with these seniors.

To be honest, Qin Ke actually has no worries. In terms of strength, reputation, and medals, he is not afraid of anyone at all. He just saw some great physicists who were "famous" in junior high school and high school, sitting next to him. While drinking tea together, Qin Ke always felt a sense of accomplishment and accomplishment.

Mr. Qiu and other acquaintances will not be mentioned. Qin Ke and other seniors have basically met at international academic conferences, and some have even clinked glasses together, but they are not familiar with each other. The one who is really familiar with them is Edward. Witten.

He has often hosted tea parties at home over the years and is very good at making tea. He refilled the cups of tea for the seniors one by one and said with a smile: "Seniors, if you are not used to drinking the tea from Xia Kingdom, I can change it to coffee or black tea for you."

Among the thirteen people, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are undoubtedly the youngest at 25 years old. Lao Tao, who is nearly 50 years old, is relatively young. The other seniors are all over 60 years old, and more than half of them are already Over 70 years old, they are all Taishan and Beidou-level figures who are famous in the scientific research circles of various countries.

Andre Heim, 75, is an expert in electromagnetics and materials science, leading the world in research on superconducting materials and graphene; Brian Schmidt, 61, is a top university student in astrophysics Niu, who has extremely rich experience in studying the sun and supernovae; Jha Moreau, 80 years old, is a famous professor of laser energy and a recognized top expert in the field of electrical engineering and lasers...

In order to greet the guests who came from afar, Qin Ke, as the host here, first brought out the famous tea of ​​Xia Kingdom - Qianyu Longjing to entertain the guests.

Today, as the thirteenth member, Academician Brian Schmidt, has just arrived in Xia from Australia, the "decision-making team" has been officially established.

Except for Mr. Tao and Mr. Qiu, who are mathematicians and Fields Medal winners, the others are all Nobel Prize winners in physics, and their members are located in major powers in the world. After all, this is a very large-scale major project involving the whole world. The "decision-making team" can be said to be a product of mutual tolerance and compromise.

And only unity can bring out the greatest strength of the team. Qin Ke naturally chose to take the initiative to build a good relationship with these seniors.

This is also the office building of the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team". Considering that Western scholars generally prefer to exchange work and academic opinions in the form of tea parties, Qin Ke asked his assistant Chen Ya to come to his office early This "Tea Talk Room" was specially opened next to it, with Xia's characteristic scented tea, famous tea, health tea, pastries and biscuits. Of course, the Darjeeling black tea, red wine and coffee that Westerners love to drink are also indispensable.

Originally, this "decision-making team" had invited Mr. Yang. With his contribution and prestige of "Yang-Mills Theory" and "parity non-conservation", Mr. Yang is fully qualified to sit here.

Mr. Roger Penrose had exchanges with Qin Ke at the "Wolf Prize Award Ceremony" last May. He was deeply impressed by Qin Ke. He smiled and said: "Academician Qin, you don't have to be polite, we are happy to taste it." Xia Kingdom’s specialty tea, at least I drank it here last time, and I thought it was quite good, and I even asked Edward in Xia Kingdom to send me a few cans.”

Brian Schmidt also smiled and echoed: "I took a sip just now, and it tastes very good. Moreover, this is tea brewed by the world's top physicists and mathematicians, but not many people can drink it. I I feel very honored. I have heard that some people are even proud of whether you have contacted them by phone."

Qin Ke said humbly: "This is a compliment from all my colleagues. In the following work, I still need Mr. Schmidt's support and guidance. You have far more experience in astrophysics than I do." Brian Schmidt said calmly: "Those of mine are all old experiences. Now the world has entered the era of big data, and everything speaks in numbers. Academician Qin, you pioneered the use of big data models to analyze and predict astrophysics and global climate. I think it is very good to learn about the new era of learning. Without you, at least we would not have predicted such a serious catastrophe in the next four years. Even if we do not mention the prediction of this 'super giant solar storm', just Your prediction results in extreme climate have also benefited Australia a lot. On behalf of the people of our country, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you."

A group of seniors also thanked him one after another. Naturally, Qin Ke would not take credit and show off, but after Brian Schmidt set this tone, and Edward Witten joined the show, the atmosphere became more enjoyable.

After some pleasantries, it was the usual relatively relaxed academic exchange session.

These seniors are quite old, especially those who are over eighty years old. In many cases, their thinking speed is not as fast as when they were young. However, they are indeed rich in experience and have in-depth research in the field of self-study. Can also talk endlessly.

But Qin Ke has god-level physics level and strength. No matter which topic, field or direction he talks about, he can get in on the topic and have a great conversation with the other party. While affirming the other party's research results, he will also base his opinions on the research results. Intuition or profound knowledge provide insights.

Overall, this tea party went very smoothly.

The seniors were also very friendly to Qin Ke, especially after having pleasant academic exchanges. They were all amazed by Qin Ke's god-level physical intuition, physical knowledge and level of physics, and were full of praise.

What they said the most was: "No wonder Professor Higgs calls you the 'living god of physics'. You are indeed well-deserved and amazing!"

After confirming Qin Ke's strength, as well as his lack of selfish motives and his focus on resolving the catastrophe in the future of mankind, the seniors who felt that they were low on energy made a decision.

They will only play a role in this "decision-making team" to enhance their prestige and make some suggestions based on their rich personal experience. They will not easily raise objections to Qin Ke's decisions. On the contrary, they will give Qin Ke the maximum strength. support to improve the efficiency of decision-making teams.

This decision means that although the "decision-making team" appears to be mainly composed of a group of highly respected seniors, in reality the core decision-maker is still Qin Ke.

The remaining "young people" also play an important role.

For example, Ning Qingyun mainly plays the role of an assistant, while Lao Tao, who is proficient in twenty or thirty fields of mathematics at the same time, acts as Qin Ke's mathematical assistant, taking over and handling some tasks that require the use of data analysis and mathematical operations to assist decision-making, improving Qin Ke's ability. Gram’s decision-making speed. Brian Schmidt, Andre Heim, Takaaki Kajita and others who are in their early 60s also actively offer suggestions.

It is precisely thanks to efficient teamwork that the "decision-making team" operates well and is frighteningly efficient.

More than 170 scientists from various countries actually know this well, but the "decision-making team" can review more than submitted "discussion results of the day" every day and return impressive handling opinions, so they have to let them To be convinced orally is to acquiesce to this fact.

After a running-in period of about a month, this huge scientific research team of more than 10,000 people has successfully got on the right track.

What shocked and convinced the more than 10,000 scientists who had their eyes high above their heads the most was that for more than a month, no one could find errors in the second version of the design draft written by Qin Ke.

It can be said that Qin Ke's overall concept is completely correct and the most feasible.

It is simply incredible that no problem can be found in such a complex design draft involving hundreds of sub-disciplines of physics and chemistry.

This has also made Qin Ke's prestige increase day by day. Top scientists from various countries, including Professor Sainz Ketley, head of the National Nuclear Power Miniaturization Application Research Laboratory of MIT, have all honestly pressed the "Decision-making Team" button. "Instructions - actually Qin Ke's instructions to carry out the work.

Moreover, as cutting-edge new technologies such as "miniaturized application of fast neutron breeder reactors", "ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature resistant alloy technology" and "electromagnetic multi-band composite synchronous ablation technology" have been shared among member countries to a limited extent, countries have also Feeling the sincerity of Xia Guo in this global large-scale project, they were shocked that Xia Guo had made such a breakthrough in these subdivisions. At the same time, they also took the initiative to share some important technologies needed for the "Planet Shield" project.

It is impossible to say that all countries are so selfless and great, but this itself is a "give" and "take" global scientific and technological cooperation. No country can stay away from the major issues of global human survival.

Moreover, the "decision-making team" has formulated very fair rules. The technologies developed by various countries for the "Planet Shield" project will be recorded in the "Contribution Points List". The higher and more powerful the technologies shared, the more points will be earned. If you have more, you can check more high-tech materials shared by other countries.

In the face of such relatively fair and just rules, various scientists are also willing to come up with their own research results, so that the design plan of the "Planet Shield" is constantly filled with flesh and blood, and it gradually becomes more and more complex from a framework draft. Detailed and mature.

Among them, 22 key technology research groups completed technical research ahead of schedule and were transformed into "technology implementation groups" because of the technologies shared by various countries.

It is estimated that after the final detailed plan is released, only about 79 of the original 30 "key technology research teams" will be left.

This will undoubtedly greatly advance the implementation progress of the "Planet Shield" project.

……

For Qin Ke, in addition to giving full play to his god-level mathematics and physics strength and master-level chemistry strength to take on the responsibilities of actual decision-makers in the "decision-making team", he must also find ways to improve various manufacturing processes, automation and Intelligentization to improve the construction and operation efficiency of the "planetary shield". This is the focus of his next work.
