It must be said that the grand plan proposed by Xu Chuan and the old man made the entire senior management excited.
If other scholars or scientific researchers had proposed such a huge plan to them, I am afraid that these old people in the government would have rejected it without even thinking about it.
But the people who proposed this grand plan were the people who had created countless miracles and led the country to realize controllable nuclear fusion technology. They were still quite excited.
Of course, the heartbeat is heartbeat. It still needs to be investigated whether such a grand plan, even bigger than the controllable nuclear fusion project, is implemented.
Even if we put aside the final ultimate goal, transforming Mars, this whole series of goals, such as restarting manned spaceflight, landing on the moon, Mars, building bases in outer space, etc., each plan can be said to be ambitious enough.
.
Just after the internal meeting, the old man invited Xu Chuan to participate in a small-scale meeting.
The meeting was attended not only by senior officials, but also by several academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After understanding the purpose of the meeting, Xu Chuan smiled and explained:
"I think everyone has some misunderstandings. Although I proposed this plan, the final situation is still undecided."
"Especially the ultimate goal of this plan, to transform Mars, is just a direction, and you can even regard it as a dream."
"It is impossible for us to launch this kind of project now. Not to mention whether it can be realized, the pressure on the economy is too great. And taking too big a step is not a good thing. I suggest doing it bit by bit.
"
After listening to Xu Chuan's explanation, another old man sitting across the conference table nodded and asked with a smile: "If this is the case, what should we do next?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied: "Personally, I suggest we start from two aspects."
"The first aspect is to restart manned spaceflight and develop aerospace technology. This is the direction I recommend."
"To be honest, developing manned spaceflight is not something that comes from scratch. Even if I don't propose it, we still have our own lunar exploration project and plan to explore Mars."
"The development of aerospace technology is not only the only way for the future, but also a necessary condition for us to stay ahead in the world. After all, we cannot always live on the earth. With the development of the times, it is necessary to explore outwards.
path of."
"It's just that what I hope more is that more resources can be invested in this in the future."
Hearing this, everyone in the office, whether it was the senior leaders or the invited academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, all nodded in agreement.
On the basis of the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology, energy has been greatly liberated.
In addition to improving the country's productivity, national happiness index and life, the development of science and technology is also something that needs attention.
After all, the advancement of science and technology is one of the core factors that determine a country's deterrence, strength, international status and other aspects.
Needless to say, Xu Chuan said that projects like manned space flight are also the path that must be taken.
Not only for future exploration and planning, the development of manned space technology can also be applied to many other aspects, such as military, civil aviation, communications, information and other fields.
Sitting next to Xu Chuan, the old man nodded and said: "As for the development of manned spaceflight and aerospace technology, this is a journey that must be taken. As for the specific investment and resources, as well as the direction and route, these follow-up needs to be further discussed.
Let’s discuss.”
After a slight pause, the old man then asked: "Besides aerospace, is there another direction?"
Xu Chuan: "If the development of manned spaceflight and aerospace technology is from the direction of applied science and technology, then the second thing is the development from the direction of theoretical science and technology."
"Application and theory are the two cores of the development of technology and science. Without either, technology and science will become cripples walking on one leg."
"As for the second direction, I prefer the theoretical direction, building a large strong particle collider of our own."
Hearing this, there was a slight commotion in the office.
In fact, it is not that no one mentioned this in the early years.
For example, the Institute of Physics at Peking University and the Institute of Physics at Nanjing University in Jinling have both proposed to their superiors to build a large strong particle collider.
Not only research in the fields of high-energy physics and particle physics, the scientific and technological achievements born from the Large Strong Particle Collider have been used in a large number of researches in the fields of medicine and biomedicine, aerospace, security, Industry 4.0, cultural heritage, energy technology and other fields.
Results.
These application fields involve all aspects of the main technologies and are widely used.
Just like at CERN, in beam instruments, superconducting magnet technology, ultra-low temperature cooling technology, ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry..., radiation protection and monitoring,
Radio frequency and sensors, superconducting technology, etc. are all top-notch.
Of course, there are those who support the construction, and there are those who are against it.
The famous physicist Mr. Yang, who is known as the first person in the world of physics today, belongs to the group that openly opposes it.
The reason is very simple. On the one hand, it costs a huge amount of money to build a large strong particle collider, and on the other hand, there is a shortage of domestic physics talents.
It is not that there are no physics talents in China. There are many physics professors and researchers going out every year, but many of them immigrate after going out.
Failure to retain advanced talents is currently the biggest problem and regret.
Based on these two considerations, Mr. Yang stood up to oppose the construction of a large strong particle collider. He believed that even if it were built, it would most likely be a wedding dress for foreign physicists.
The senior management also seriously considered whether to build such large-scale scientific research equipment, and finally decided to postpone it.
After all, the country of China was indeed not very wealthy back then, so spending 200 billion to build a large strong particle collider was indeed a bit embarrassing for itself.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now that the old matter is brought up again, it was Academician Xu who made great contributions to the country who brought it up. Naturally, some commotion is inevitable.
Sitting next to Xu Chuan, the old man raised his eyelids and said, "Can you tell me your opinion?"
For him, he actually supports the construction of a large strong particle collider, but he needs a reason to convince others.
After all, it is not something he can do alone by using so much money and resources to build a piece of equipment that is almost purely scientific.
Xu Chuan nodded and continued: "As to whether it is necessary to build a large strong particle collider, I personally think it is necessary."
"First, this kind of large-scale scientific research equipment can cultivate talents for us, and it is not limited to the simple field of physics. This can be seen from CERN. At the same time, the completed collider will also attract us
Physicists and talents from other countries.”
"Second, after the controllable nuclear fusion technology is completed, we have enough ability to complete this project. During the construction process, it involves the development of various technologies, such as superconducting materials, ultra-low temperature cooling technology,
Ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry...techniques such as these can not only be applied to the collision fuselage."
"Separating them individually can also greatly promote the development of other fields."
"Third, after the completion of controllable nuclear fusion technology, we will inevitably have competition with other countries in other fields in future development, whether in the fields of applied science or theoretical science.
compete."
"Instead of expecting others to always open the door to you, it is better to have something that belongs to you. Whether it is people or equipment."
"Fourth, if there is an almost clear breakthrough direction and development direction in the field of high-energy physics, dark matter and dark energy are the core of it."
"Although it may be difficult for us to take advantage of them now, there is no denying that this is a completely new field. If we don't have our own Large Strong Particle Collider, will we fall behind?"
"In the past few decades, because we have not kept up with the times, we have been catching up with several generations. But no one will remember the hardships we have endured, the blood and tears we have shed, and the humiliation and grievances we have suffered.
Want to do it again..."
Xu Chuan's words silenced everyone in the conference room for a while.
In the past few decades, no one knows the hardships they have endured and the blood and tears they have shed better than those sitting here today. It was a painful experience and memory.
In the conference room, after a moment of silence, the old man said: "Thank you very much, Academician Xu, for your suggestions. We will seriously consider these suggestions."
