Chapter 183 Major confidential projects and being invited to serve as reviewers
Science Foundation, main entrance.
Fan Qingxue, Deng Binghe and others from the Superconducting Office were standing at the door of the side security room chatting, while some people were frequently looking towards the road.
They are waiting for Wang Hao and his party.
A gust of wind blew by.
Deng Binghe only wore a shirt, shrank his neck in the cold, and said depressedly, "This is my first time here, waiting for the people in the project laboratory, they are really big names."
Fan Qingxue laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it, and we're waiting for Wang Hao, so just don't contact the project."
"Right."
Deng Binghe could only nod and accept.
The person they are waiting for is indeed Wang Hao. As for He Yi, Xiao Xinyu and others, they are incidental and there is no need to specially come to greet him.
Wang Hao and his party came here to discuss the project. The Science Foundation is the funder and responsible party for the project. They took the initiative to greet them. It felt like a customer trying to apologize to a businessman, which sounded a bit weird.
However, Wang Hao's status is no longer the same as before.
After completing the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, Wang Hao's status has been completely different in the hearts of many people.
He is recognized as the top mathematician in the field of number theory. He is not even one of the top mathematicians. He has two research results of Fields in his hand. He can be described as successful and famous.
Just by relying on the research that has been completed, you can be honored for a lifetime, and you can also win a series of awards in the future.
In addition, Goldbach's conjecture is also different from other mathematical research.
Domestically, Goldbach's conjecture has a greater influence. For example, some primary school textbooks have related introductions. Chen Jingrun's '1+2' has also been written into the textbooks, and he is regarded as a hero in mathematical research.
publicity.
If the textbook is revised next time, will Wang Hao be included?
This is almost certain.
Because it is also a study of Goldbach's conjecture, Chen Jingrun only came close to proving it, while Wang Hao completed the proof, and even used two methods.
Deng Binghe and Fan Qingxue are still very shocked when they think about it.
"Wang Hao, you are really young and promising!"
"Young and promising? He is no longer promising, he is number one in the world!"
“In terms of mathematics and number theory, it’s hard not to accept it!”
While several people were discussing, they heard a cry, "Coming! Coming!"
They all followed.
A taxi stopped at the door. Wang Hao, He Yi and others got out of the car, and the people at the door immediately passed by.
"Professor Wang, welcome!"
"I have heard your name during this period. Goldbach's conjecture is everywhere in the news. Professor Wang Hao is writing a new history."
"You have become the pride of the whole country! I am proud of you!"
The people next to me contacted me with admiration.
Wang Hao smiled and shook hands with them one by one. Most of them had been met before, but there were still two that he had never met.
After they all got acquainted, they walked inside together.
Wang Hao and others went to the reception hall first.
Wu Hui and others were already waiting there.
There are less than twenty people in the Superconducting Office, but there are more than ten here. It is obvious that some people in Wang Hao attach great importance to them.
When we arrived in the reception hall, the topic turned to the achievement project.
Fan Qingxue started talking, "There are three institutions doing this research. The results of our physics laboratory are the best, and the results of the other two institutions are worse."
"So for subsequent research, the Science Foundation will mainly consider your physics laboratory."
He Yi and Xiao Xinyu sounded a little excited.
Wang Hao was very calm, just nodded and listened.
This is expected.
Wu Hui asked, "Do you have any ideas for follow-up research?"
Wang Haodao, "There should be two main directions, one is the AC gravity field, and the other is the superconducting mechanism. We are more inclined to the latter."
"Why?" Wu Hui asked with interest, and he added, "More people are interested in the super-communicative stance."
"That's anti-gravity, Professor Wang. To tell you the truth, Professor Yan Wei from Capital University took the initiative to apply for follow-up research on AC gravity and has been here several times."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Anti-gravity is naturally good, but even if there are results in this direction, it will be difficult to apply it in a short time, and it definitely needs theoretical support."
"If you just study technology, it will be like trying your luck. It is impossible to perfect it to the stage where it can be used."
Everyone around them nodded.
There is some truth to Wang Hao's statement. Just like superconducting technology, even now, the theoretical mechanism is still being studied.
Although there are some applications, it is still difficult to popularize it on a large scale.
The research on AC gravity field is just to improve the technology, and it will definitely produce certain results, but in order to perfect it and apply it maturely, it still needs theoretical support in the end.
This is inevitable.
Wu Hui just smiled lightly and did not elaborate.
The group chatted in the reception hall for a while and then went to the small conference room.
At this time, it became much more serious.
Yan Jing and Xiao Xinyu could only wait outside.
Wang Hao and He Yi went in.
At the same time, only four people entered the superconducting office, obviously to discuss some confidential topics.
Wang Hao felt the seriousness of the atmosphere. He and He Yi sat aside and saw Wu Hui when they sat down.
Wu Hui sat on the main seat, calmed down for a moment and then said, "Professor Wang and Professor He, the next topic cannot be spread out."
"This research is no longer as simple as an ordinary project, but has been listed as a major national project."
"At the same time, the direction of the exchange of gravity fields has been classified as a major confidential project, so even if you apply, it will not be approved."
Wang Hao thought and nodded.
The AC gravity experiment was the first news announced abroad. The theory was proposed by Li Ning, a Chinese physicist from Amrican. The first discovery was made by a Dutch research team, who then disappeared.
Many people speculated that it was classified as a confidential project.
Now that the AC gravity experiment can be reproduced, it means that the relevant information is true, so why is there no subsequent research?
Apparently, the secrecy speculation was correct.
Since foreign countries have listed it as a confidential project, if there are new discoveries in China, they will definitely be listed as a confidential project.
Wu Hui continued, "Previous data, whether it is the Basic Science Center of Capital University, the Superconducting Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences, or you, all data have been sealed."
He Yi sounded a little worried.
If the data are sealed and the experimental research is classified as confidential, wouldn't they have no way to apply for the project?
Wu Hui seemed to see He Yi's nervousness. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, it is normal for some research projects to be classified as confidential."
"Although the direction of the AC gravity field is classified as a major secret, and the accompanying research is also confidential to a certain extent, we are still able to conduct regular research."
"Conventional research?" Wang Hao caught the key word.
"right."
Wu Hui nodded and said, "Generally speaking, the main direction of such major confidential projects is handled by confidentiality units. However, any complex research cannot be completed by a separate department under complete confidentiality."
This sentence is a bit convoluted, but you can still understand it.
For example, the manufacturing of a fighter jet, from design to manufacturing, is of course completely confidential.
However, it is impossible for one department to be responsible for the production of related parts and the design and production of some materials. There are even some materials and components that need to be imported.
The same goes for project development.
The research of AC gravity field is a general direction, and it is not known how much investment will be made, and it requires the support of theoretical mechanisms. A single department conducting confidential research and development can only be responsible for the most critical direction, and it also requires the cooperation of other scientific research departments in research.
This is what Wu Hui said, "So, you can still apply for superconducting mechanism projects normally, but you can't include the word AC gravity."
"And some core elements need to be kept secret. If the project can really be done, personnel from the confidentiality department will also participate."
Wang Hao asked doubtfully, "I still don't understand. We are doing research on the superconducting mechanism, but because it involves AC gravity fields, it is possible to make breakthroughs in the research of AC gravity fields. For example, if we continue
Is it illegal to increase the strength of the field?"
"of course not."
Wu Hui smiled and said, "Secrecy is not as serious as you think. It's hard to talk about research and development. If you make progress, of course it will be good news."
"It would be best if it can be greatly improved. When the time comes, it will not only be no violation of regulations, but also a major scientific research meritorious performance."
"Don't worry about this."
Wang Hao and He Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This was the first time they heard about the confidential project, and they felt a little stressed.
…
Wu Hui, Fan Qingxue and others sent Wang Hao and others out of the Science Foundation together.
Wu Hui and Wang Hao walked in the front.
He walked slowly and whispered to Wang Hao, "You can rest assured about the project. We have held several meetings. Experts from the confidentiality department are also involved."
"In terms of this main research direction, the results are actually of little significance."
"Professor Wang, as you said, the study of AC gravity still needs the support of theoretical mechanisms. Right now, there are only discoveries."
"There were discoveries abroad as early as 20 years ago, but there is no news until now. We have not seen them design an anti-gravity aircraft or some other applications."
"This shows that their research in this direction is far from reaching the level of application."
"Same for us."
"Even if you keep busy doing confidential research, it will be difficult to see results after decades."
"We have discussed this several times." Wu Hui said, "Don't feel pressured. There are some techniques like this. If you are mentally prepared in advance, you don't have to worry too much."
"However, confidentiality must be kept confidential. This project is mainly awarded to you. You still have to communicate more with the Basic Science Center of Capital University and the Superconducting Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences."
"The study of superconducting mechanisms is really important!"
Wu Hui said and patted Wang Hao on the shoulder.
This is a sincere emotion.
A large amount of money is invested in the research on the mechanism of superconductivity every year, and indeed a lot of results have been achieved. However, due to the high cost, large-scale application is still far away.
Although there are occasionally new discoveries of high-temperature superconducting materials, even high-temperature superconducting materials are not routinely available.
Therefore, it is necessary to improve the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity. The most direct way is to find some "higher temperature" superconducting materials, preferably superconducting materials at room temperature.
By then, the world will be different.
…
Wu Hui talked about the Basic Science Center of Capital University and the Superconducting Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences.
The reason why we talk about two large institutions is because they already have large projects on the research of superconducting mechanisms.
The fact that the physics laboratory was able to apply for this project only established a new direction for research on superconducting mechanisms.
Even after applying for over 100 million yuan in funding, there is still a big gap between it and the two large institutions.
In terms of theoretical research on the superconducting mechanism, each institution does not conduct it alone. The research they have done will eventually be brought together for detailed analysis, hoping to truly decipher the mechanism of superconductivity.
At that time, with theoretical support, technology will usher in leapfrog development.
Of course.
For the four-person team in the physics laboratory, the overall development of research into superconducting mechanisms seems far away from them.
For example, He Yi is more concerned about how much funding he can apply for.
This is the most important.
On the way back to the hotel, He Yidu kept saying, "If we can have 50 million yuan in funding, we can at least be promoted to a provincial key point."
"At that time, we can continue to expand our manpower."
"No matter how high it is, of course it's better."
The "provincial key points" he mentioned are directly related to the project.
If the Science Foundation allocates 50 million, the school and Northern Xinjiang Province will definitely subsidize it, and even allocate funds to expand the laboratory and update the internal equipment.
This is the focus of development.
By then, if there is another 50 million project in hand, the development momentum will be very rapid.
He Yi, Xiao Xinyu and Yan Jing were discussing this issue along the way.
Wang Hao just listened to a few words. What he cared about was the project itself, because the project was directly linked to research.
He felt that cracking the mystery of the communication gravity field seemed to be directly related to the discovery of the annihilation force.
As for the AC gravity field...
Wang Hao really feels that if they continue their research, they will definitely greatly increase the intensity of the AC gravity field, because the study of theoretical mechanisms is often directly linked to experiments.
The main direction is theoretical mechanism, which also requires continuous relevant experiments.
"What will happen if the AC gravity field is increased to 20 or 30 points?"
"seem……"
"It doesn't make any sense!"
Wang Hao thought about it carefully and finally shook his head. Just like Wu Hui said, all theoretical mechanisms should still serve the development of technology.
Even if the AC gravity field is increased to 20% or 30%, it will not make much sense at all, because the superconducting experiment is too expensive, and the cost of realizing the AC gravity field is very high every minute.
As long as the cost cannot be reduced, it has no application value at all.
The group returned to the hotel.
Wang Hao just walked into the hall and saw Wang Jiming. He said to He Yi and others, "You guys go up first, I have something to do."
Then he walked straight to Wang Jiming.
Ding Zongquan was also there.
They were talking quietly when they noticed Wang Hao approaching. They immediately stood up and said, "Professor Wang, we are finally waiting for you."
"Professor Wang, long time no see!"
Wang Hao shook hands with the two of them respectively, and asked with some confusion, "Didn't you mean the day after tomorrow?"
"It's decided the day after tomorrow."
Wang Jiming said with some embarrassment, "However, after we discussed it, we still think it would be better for you to go tomorrow."
"Why?"
Wang Jiming glanced at Ding Zongquan.
"Let me tell you." Ding Zongquan explained, "We have a bidding meeting tomorrow, mainly for a large-scale scientific research bidding project."
"This project is very controversial within us."
"Originally, the project was given to the Metal Laboratory of Xijing Jiaotong University. Later, when I checked the application, I found that the report of the Alloy Laboratory of Donggang University was better, closer to our needs, and it also had basic experimental data."
"Some people support giving the project to the Alloy Laboratory, but the Alloy Laboratory, you may have heard, the problems last year..."
Wang Hao asked Wang Jiming with some confusion, "Academician Wang, can't you decide on the bidding issue for this kind of project?"
Wang Jiming smiled bitterly and said, "Although I am the dean of the institute, large-scale projects still have to vote uniformly, and there are people from Wuhan Iron and Steel Company, so I can't act arbitrarily, right?"
"Zong Quan and I just discussed it and came here."
Wang Jiming shook his head as he spoke.
Normally, if such a problem occurs in a laboratory, it will be difficult to apply for major projects in a short period of time.
However, the Alloy Laboratory approached people from Wuhan Iron and Steel Group, and under the banner of fair competition, it would be difficult for them to directly exclude the Alloy Laboratory.
Wang Hao became even more confused when he heard this, "How can I help?"
Wang Jiming said, "You are so humble. Last time you came to the institute and said a few words, it was of great help to us. It saved us at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars."
"Is there any?" This was really the first time Wang Hao heard about it. He went to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute and didn't care about it.
Ding Zongquan nodded vigorously, "Yes, there is ultra-thin ribbon technology. You said the research in the alloy laboratory is meaningless, so we stopped the alloy laboratory project."
He was impressed.
It was precisely because of this incident that he and Chen Jianlin lost contact.
This time Chen Jianlin participated in Wuhan Iron and Steel's R&D tender, and he did not even go through him. Instead, he went to someone from the Wuhan Iron and Steel Group.
Wang Jiming said, "So we want you to go tomorrow to help check the project bidding status."
"We are very divided on the tender."
"I am optimistic about the metal laboratory, but the alloy laboratory's application is indeed very suitable for the needs. I looked carefully and couldn't even find a reason to refute..."
"Please help me take a look. After all, it is a major research and development project. For our research institute, this cooperation project will be the most important in the next few years."
Wang Hao listened for a long time before reacting, "Academician Wang, do you want to invite me to be a judge?"
"right."
Wang Hao's mood became complicated.
The main applicants for the project are the teams of Peng Hui and Chen Jianlin. He has participated in the research of Peng Hui's team and also worked in the alloy laboratory. But now he is used to be a reviewer?
this……
It sounds quite interesting!
Updates have been relatively late these days. The reason, to put it bluntly, is that TJ’s nucleic acid test at six o’clock every morning greatly disrupts the biological clock of an early morning worker like the author, resulting in no energy at all during the day. Alas~~~
