From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Envy is envy, research still has to face reality.

Empoli-Cubo has been keeping an eye on Annihilation Technologies.

He has great trust in Korot James and believes that there is definitely no problem with the new direction James mentioned.

The direction of strong annihilation force field technology is 'DC metal superconductivity', and research has found that the strength of the annihilation force field made with first-order alpha element materials is very low, so the key lies in the first-order beta element. They want to obtain beta elements in large quantities , only the 'first-order silver' that is confirmed to be sold publicly.

On the way back to Groom Lake, Cooper said, "First-order silver will be sold in large quantities soon, you know? Maybe next week."

"We ordered a few tons in advance to try it first and see the effect. Maybe we will find out in the research."

"Of course I can't just do my own research, I still need those superconducting mechanisms..."

Cooper shook his head as he spoke, "To be honest, I don't trust those institutions, especially those companies. They are like vampires. The superconducting materials they developed even charge a patent fee and sign a contract for us to use them." Confidentiality Agreement.”

James said nonchalantly, "I also know the news. Beta element is indeed a good direction, but the early stage is all about superconducting research, which has little to do with us."

"So what do we do next?"

"Didn't it already be said at the meeting that we should study the DC direction or use high-voltage hybrid materials? We can only give it a try for the time being. What if we can find something?"

"It's just going to cost a lot of money."

Cooper was troubled by the funding issue. The new decision-makers gave them the authority to use funds, but the problem was that there was no increase in funding.

They will definitely spend a lot of money doing research in new directions.

What will happen when the money runs out?

James said, "Then we'll have to wait for the funding. It's not our money anyway. If there is no support in the future, I think I can resign and leave."

"Anyway, I can find a good job in a university or a laboratory."

"What about me?" Cooper pointed at himself.

"you……"

James said, "That has nothing to do with me. If one day in the future, I see you smoking marijuana on the street, I will think of the current friendship most, and maybe I will give you ten dollars to give you a full meal? This This is the utmost sincerity, I will not help a homeless man who smokes marijuana."

He said it very sincerely.

Cooper was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He pointed at James and said forcefully, "You are such a bastard..."

"Thank you, everyone praises me so much."

James shrugged.

…

Flower grower, Shen Cheng.

The annihilation particle experiment project discussion meeting was held at a venue in the city center. Because there were not many people participating in the meeting, the meeting was held in a small conference room on the side.

Wang Hao arrived half an hour early. When he entered the venue, he was surrounded by a large number of scholars.

Many people who participated in the meeting knew about the "space carrier power technology".

In fact, the 'Space Carrier' was just a rumor and was not marked in the meeting content, but after the news spread, more people knew about it.

They kept asking, "Academician Wang, can it really provide power for the space carrier?"

"Or is it just a statement? Does it mean that it can produce a lot of energy?"

"How does this technology compare to nuclear fusion?"

"I heard that it directly annihilates particles? It even says that it annihilates matter, and it conforms to the mass-energy equation? Is it true?"

Wang Hao felt a headache when he was asked the question, but he still gave a definite answer, "If the research and development goes well, I believe that the new technology can provide pure energy that the equipment and materials can withstand the limit."

What he means is that as much energy as you can receive and transform, you can create as much ability as you want.

"As for the space carrier..."

"The premise is that the equipment and materials can withstand the limit and be able to support the flight of large aerospace ships."

This sentence is tantamount to confirmation.

A large number of scholars were very surprised. They discussed privately and still couldn't believe it, "reaching the acceptance limit of equipment and materials?"

"Academician Wang means that it is indeed annihilation mass, which can indeed provide unlimited energy, but it always feels unrealistic."

"I feel the same way. Even nuclear fusion is not yet capable of generating electricity and annihilating matter..."

"A little too fake."

Wang Hao didn't care what other people thought.

He walked to the office behind the venue, greeted other people in the research team, and explained the order of the reports.

soon.

The meeting started.

Officials from the science and technology department were responsible for presiding over the meeting. The first person to take the stage to give a report was Paul Phil-Jones. His job was to state the experimental findings.

Under the gaze of many people, Paul Phil-Jones walked onto the stage. He stood in front of the stage and said with a serious face, "In the field of scientific research, I have two dreams."

"One dream is to win the Nobel Prize, and the other dream is to participate in research on the highest level of physical theory and technology."

"result……"

"Before I turned 40, I realized my dream."

"This makes me feel at a loss and I don't know what to do in the future."

He seemed to be lost in memories, completely immersed in his own words, and he let out a long sigh to express his feelings at that time.

A long sigh——

"Alas~~~"

The venue was quiet.

Everyone looked at Paul Phil-Jones on the stage with their mouths open, and most of the scholars were confused for a while.

"This should be...the legendary pretense, right?"

"Did he do it on purpose?"

"I think it must have been intentional. What he said was really irritating. I think I have a good temper, but now I want to go over and pull him down and beat him up."

"I had the same idea..."

Wang Hao covered his face hard.

He just asked Paul Phil-Jones to state the experimental findings, and he did not expect that the report would start like this.

deliberately?

No!

Wang Hao knew Paul Phil Jones too well. He knew that the other party would not be so-called "pretending" at all. What Paul Phil Jones said were all facts and his true feelings.

Of course, this doesn't affect other people's feelings.

Others will probably feel even worse if they know that Paul Phil Jones said these things from the bottom of his heart.

Paul Phil-Jones didn't know that he had caused public outrage. He continued, "And now I have found a new dream, which is to work as a maintenance worker on mankind's first space carrier."

"The premise is that there must be an aerospace carrier."

“Now, there’s hope for that dream, because we’re about to solve the biggest problem – power!”

"Let's get to the point."

"Our research stems from the explosion of Amrican. They were unable to find out the results, and then they started replicating the explosion experiment."

"We found in experiments..."

"Later, we conducted a separate experiment, and an unexpected explosion also occurred. Many people were frightened at the time. Fortunately, there were no casualties."

"Oh, by the way, Professor Liu Qingzhi is injured, and he is also the only injured person..."

When Paul Phil Jones said this, a large group of people all saw Liu Qingzhi, and Liu Qingzhi even had the urge to strangle Paul Phil Jones to death.

Others looked at me strangely.

Liu Qingzhi could understand the general meaning at a glance, "Oh my God, Professor Liu, you almost became a hero!"

"What a pity!"

Your sister!

Liu Qingzhi smiled awkwardly and explained, "It's a small accident, a small accident, it doesn't matter, there is no problem."

Paul Phil-Jones continues reporting.

He said that taking the data from the new experiment, "In subsequent analysis, we found energy deviations, which confirmed the occurrence of annihilation particle phenomena."

"Because of this, we have paused our experiments and hope to apply for new experiments to study this technology of near-infinite energy production."

Paul Phil-Jones talked a lot more, all related to experiments.

The next person to take the stage was He Yi. He listed the data from the experiment to make the report more convincing.

Wang Hao was the third one to take the stage. He explained the experimental design and technology, and expressed his expectations for the experiment.

At this point, that's almost it.

The focus of this research is active neutron annihilation under strong annihilation force fields, which involves three technologies: high-energy particle control, nuclear reactions, and strong annihilation force fields.

They have already mastered a certain amount of data and gained some control techniques during the experiment.

Because there will be many institutions participating in the study, confidentiality will be a big problem.

Wang Hao has discussed this issue with Teacher Xu and other leaders. The easiest thing to leak is the 'direct current direction'. During the research process, the participants will definitely know that it is a strong annihilation force field created by 'direct current'. As long as they study along the direction, There may be discoveries.

Wang Hao believes that "DC will be discovered sooner or later. Maybe they have started researching it now."

"Our advantage lies in technology, not direction. As long as we always master the most high-end technology, and continue to develop new technologies and improve technological levels, we will always be at the forefront of high-end technology."

"There is no point in keeping it secret for a short period of time."

"It is impossible for us not to do new research and development just because of confidentiality. For example, in the 'DC direction', it is impossible to keep it secret simply. Other institutions can also think of it."

"The most important thing is to maintain technological advantages. It is best to have an absolute leading position in the military and other directions."

"Right now, we don't have an absolute leading position, so we must seize the time to develop new technologies and improve the technology to a level that other countries and institutions can't catch up with..."

"By then, we won't have to worry about leaks of research directions or anything like that."

…

End of the meeting.

Many attendees were surprised by the content. They felt that the annihilation of massive particles was a bit too science fiction. Even with theoretical support, experimental data, and Wang Hao's personal influence, they still found it incredible.

This is because the content of the experiment seems like it should not appear in the 21st century.

Now that they haven't even successfully applied nuclear fusion, how come a technology that is much simpler than nuclear fusion and can produce nearly "infinite energy" suddenly appears?

Of course, this does not affect the approval of the experimental project.

In fact, Wang Hao's personal influence alone is enough. Holding a meeting only allows more people to participate in the discussion, because research requires the cooperation of multiple departments.

It's not just three departments.

The Annihilation Field Experiment Group, the Institute of High Energy and the Institute of Nuclear Physics only provide the three most important technologies. The equipment manufacturing process also involves some pipeline materials, detection devices, control systems, etc., which requires many departments. and institutions involved.

The experimental project passed and the approval came quickly.

In the process of approval, the project design team has been finalized, and each of the three major agencies has sent a team to participate.

Other institutions will also send scholars and engineers from various fields to participate.

Funding is also very simple.

Funding was not considered at the beginning of the research. The Annihilation Field Experiment Team had enough funds, even more than they could spend at all. The science and technology department and other institutions only provided a symbolic amount of funds, and the rest was Funded by the Annihilation Field Experiment Team.

The Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team's funding source comes from Annihilation Technology Company.

Recently, Annihilation Technology Company has launched an accelerated money-making model. First-order silver has begun to be officially sold to the outside world, and the initial price is six times the international silver price.

This price was decided after long discussions.

Monopoly can indeed charge higher prices, but if the prices are higher, most of the market will be lost, especially the civilian equipment market.

That's the biggest market.

For example, a mobile phone.

If the unit price is less than 20,000 yuan, the market size is still large, but if the unit price becomes 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, the market size will shrink significantly.

Of course, companies will definitely selectively upgrade some accessories to reduce costs. It is enough to use first-order silver that is close to superconducting in some key components. However, to ensure maximum profits, it is necessary to balance the relationship between material coverage and pricing. .

In addition to the field of civil equipment, it is also widely used in industrial infrastructure and other fields.

In recent years, the use of superconducting materials has become more and more common. Some key cable channels and conversion interfaces require the use of superconducting materials to increase efficiency.

First-order silver can replace most application scenarios and can also greatly reduce costs.

This is mainly because first-order silver is close to 'normal temperature superconductivity', while other superconducting materials require a cooling system to maintain performance, but the 'maintenance costs' are very expensive.

In addition, scientific research institutions and enterprises have great demand for research and development.

Many companies have ordered a large amount of first-order silver, and they need to use some people to research and develop new equipment. There are many similar scenarios.

etc.

Even if the price is only six times the international silver price, the profit is still unimaginable, because the production of first-level silver is very simple, just let the silver pass through the field force.

The international price of one ton of silver is around six million.

Just let a large pile of silver bullion go through the force of the field, and its value can reach tens of millions, and the supply in the market exceeds demand.

This leads to a consequence--

The funds for the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Team simply cannot be spent, because it was determined from the very beginning of the establishment of Annihilation Technology Company that 20% of the profits would belong to the experimental team.

How much money is that?

The experimental group now has more than 40 billion in funds, and accounts for more than 5 billion every month. Even if the first-tier silver is not sold, the subsequent amount of funds will definitely be more, and it will be easy to even double it.

Too much research and development funding is also very distressing.

When talking about the funding issue of the experimental team, Paul Phil-Jones gave a suggestion, "Since the funds can't be spent all, then we can save money to build a space carrier?"

He Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "In this way, the space carrier belongs to the experimental group. By then, our authority will be greater. Maybe I can apply to be the deputy captain?"

As he spoke, he made a military salute and said seriously, "When the time comes, please call me Vice Captain He!"

Paul Phil-Jones followed, "Maybe I can too?"

He lowered his head and thought for a long time, as if he had made some important decision, "I don't want to be a repairman anymore, I want to be the deputy captain of mankind's first spaceship, the deputy captain, Sir Paul Phil-Jones!" "

"Sounds cool!"

Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth and asked curiously, "Why are you all serving as deputy captains? Not captains? Captain, it will only be cooler!"

He Yi said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's you who will be the captain, otherwise we wouldn't be able to serve as the deputy captain. This is based on realistic thinking."

"I think so."

Paul Phil-Jones was serious too.

Wang Hao kept his mouth open for a long time, and could only nod his head and said, "What you said makes sense, so I will reluctantly serve as the captain."

He added, "That sounds...really cool!"
