After Yu Yifeng made this decision, he first called some physicists and expressed his strong support for this super project.
Science is the first career, and all necessary instruments will be available.
After hearing these words, Ding Yidong, Felix and others relaxed and started gearing up on the phone, looking very excited, as if this mountain in physics was about to be conquered...
Such a large project can no longer be completed by a laboratory. It requires Yu Yifeng as the leader to connect the entire industrial system and the entire civilization.
Immediately afterwards, he began to contact the heads of major laboratories such as the Wild Wolf Design Bureau, Tesla Research Institute, and the Genov Industrial Factory to discuss specific matters...
This behemoth called the "Super Hadron Collider" has a very large amount of engineering and design. It also has a particularly high demand for new materials such as superalloy series and superconductors, which requires detailed overall planning.
Fan.
After half a day, a long list of engineers, designers, and scientists was pulled out, estimated to be six thousand people.
These more than 6,000 staff will be fully responsible for the design of the Super Hadron Collider within two years, while the Kinov Industrial Factory will be responsible for the manufacturing of related machinery. These 6,000 core staff, plus miscellaneous construction
Teams, logistics teams, non-staff personnel, etc., the total number of people involved reached 15,000!
This Super Hadron Collider is also the largest super project of mankind since the completion of the spacecraft modification plan!
This is the benefit of the current economic system. It is very convenient for human beings to advance science and technology, and it can completely concentrate most of their efforts on one big thing.
If more than 15,000 high-tech talents of this caliber were placed on Earth in the past, their annual salary alone would be more than two billion U.S. dollars, and the expenses would be huge. In addition, they require massive amounts of new materials and complex manufacturing.
Technology, the entire project cannot be financed without trillions of dollars.
The Large Hadron Collider on Earth originally cost tens of billions of dollars, and was completed with funds donated by dozens of countries. If subsequent operation and maintenance costs are included, the total cost reaches 90 billion U.S. dollars.
But the current super hadron collider is ten thousand times more powerful than the previous one. Based on the original economic scale of the earth, there is no problem in saying that it will cost one trillion.
Think about a 270-kilometer-long circular track. It covers an area of 5,804 square kilometers, which is about the same as a large county. It requires a lot of government negotiations, procedures, demolition, etc., which is very troublesome.
The land on Earth is very precious! Even if the track is buried underground, how much work will it take?!
Coupled with a large amount of expensive new materials, a large number of investigation facilities, a large amount of machinery... it is almost a trillion dollars.
Trillion-dollar projects, used for scientific research? It’s just haha...
One trillion U.S. dollars is already too much even for a superpower. The U.S.'s annual GDP is only 20 trillion.
With such an economic scale, concentrating on a scientific research project is no longer something ordinary people can endure.
If a country really wants to do this kind of thing, there will definitely be large-scale demonstrations and protests, and some people will definitely say that the government is wasting taxpayers' money; some people think that the development of this kind of technology has no use in human daily life, and developing them
what?
Of course, some saints think that the money is not as good as improving poor mountainous areas... There are even people who think that the collision of hadrons will destroy the world...
There are many difficulties in this!
It’s impossible for Congress to approve a trillion-dollar project, and the government doesn’t have that much money.
If it gets too bad, even the president will step down!
This is determined by the paradigm of civilization and the mode of thinking. The original human society will not be able to build this machine in a few decades.
But now, everyone has only held a meeting for less than a day. After Yu Yifeng made the decision, the heads of the major laboratories acted quickly and began to pull out specific lists of staff.
Then, start work tomorrow!
The whole thing takes one day!
As for the economy? Money? Is it useful? To hell with it!
This is the cohesion of new human civilization. In one day, the entire civilization can be mobilized to focus on one big thing.
The most important thing is that a group of people are still cheerful and excited, as if they have been injected with chicken blood... Their eyes are red, their hearts are beating fast, and they can't wait to start work now!
Everyone knows its significance. If the "supersymmetry theory" is really verified... it is simply unbelievable. The entire physics edifice will be rewritten! Human beings have at least changed from ignorance to half-knowledge. This will be a leap forward!
This group of scientists, designers, and engineers all want to witness history and become a part of history!
Which unruly person dares to object? Guaranteed to be drowned in spit!
…
When Yu Yifeng returned from the kick-off meeting exhausted, he saw a document sent by Xu Yunjin on the computer screen.
The above details the criminal record of "great scientist" Zhang Peng...
"what's the situation?"
Yu Yifeng blinked hard at first, thinking he was dazzled.
He was still in an extremely excited state, and suddenly saw that this great scientist who invented superconducting materials was arrested and detained. It was simply incredible.
He read it several times and confirmed that what he saw was the name "Zhang Peng", that is, the great scientist.
What about kicking over flower pots, destroying public property, and molesting women?
These have detailed monitoring records, which are almost ironclad evidence!
“You also used a hairdressing robot to shave your head bald?”
He simply didn't know what to say. Could such a good person suddenly have a mental illness? Yu Yifeng subconsciously thought this way.
If it can be treated, it still needs to be treated. After all, he has invented a superconducting material that transcends the times, so he must have some talent...
Speaking of which, the manufacturing of the Super Hadron Collider was largely due to superconducting materials. Without these superconducting materials, its cost and engineering volume would have been many times higher, and the large amount of liquid nitrogen refrigeration would have a low fault tolerance rate.
The cost is high and it is very troublesome. This is not what mankind can afford at present.
He patiently continued to look down.
Under the diagnosis of many psychological experts, Zhang Peng seemed to be diagnosed with split personality, also known as multiple personality disorder... According to the experts' description, a suspected alien personality appeared in Zhang Peng's head, and he wanted to steal his body.
Control. These ridiculous things are done by other alien personalities.
Anyway...his tone and behavior make him look like a lunatic.
Yu Yifeng's brows furrowed tightly. Zhang Peng may have been stimulated by something that led to a psychotic episode. He has now been sent to a mental hospital. In fact, it was converted from a larger prison cell and is receiving treatment from experts.
After reading the report, he took a deep breath and understood why Xu Yunjin sent this report.
The main reason is: he is a great scientist.
The government does not confer honorary titles such as "Great Scientists". All are awarded by private individuals based on the level of knowledge and contribution of scientists.
Xu Yunjin is worried that if this development continues, it will create a privileged class that is outside the law.
If Zhang Peng was not a great scientist, he would not have informed Yu Yifeng of this kind of thing and would have been sent to a mental hospital.
After all, Yu Yifeng is the leader of civilization, and it is impossible for him to take care of all the food, drink, and diarrhea of more than 50,000 to 60,000 people.
"Will scientists become a privileged class? Especially big scientists?"
Yu Yifeng thought for a while and didn't take this matter to heart. The current phenomenon of people advocating science is a good thing. The total number of scientists on the Noah actually accounts for more than half of the population.
Compared with the other great scientists we meet today, Zhang Peng, a "great scientist", is completely different, whether in terms of personality or other aspects.
Such cases always exist...
If he can only invent superconductivity from now on, he will only be considered good luck. The title of great scientist will naturally gradually disappear.
"As for the alien personality?"
Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng always has an inexplicable and weird feeling, but this feeling is very light. Thinking about it again, he is really too busy now, and his schedule is completely full these days. Compared with Hadron's pair
If the plane crashes, Zhang Peng's request can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
Let’s go and have a look in two days when you have time...
He sighed secretly, and then he stopped thinking about anything. After washing himself, he took off his clothes and slept on the bed. Soon, his breathing became even and he fell into a deep sleep...
