Beneath Deep Space

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. Yu Yifeng needs to be 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. Moreover, it has a particularly large demand for new materials such as superalloy series and superconductors, which requires detailed overall planning.

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 the miscellaneous construction team, logistics team, non-staff personnel, etc., bring the total population involved to 15,000!

This Super Hadron Collider is also the largest super project of mankind since the completion of the spacecraft transformation plan!

This is the benefit of the current economic system. It is very convenient for human beings to advance science and technology. It can completely concentrate most of its efforts on one big thing.

If more than 15,000 high-tech talents of this quality were placed on the previous Earth, their annual salary alone would be more than two billion US dollars, which is a huge expense. Coupled with the massive amounts of new materials and complex manufacturing processes it requires, 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 adds up to US$90 billion.

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 saying that it will cost one trillion.

Think about the circular track with a length of 270 kilometers. 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 tracks are buried underground, how much work will be required? !

Coupled with a large number of expensive new materials, a large number of investigation facilities, a large number of machinery... it is almost a trillion dollars.

A trillion-dollar project for scientific research? 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 is of no use to human daily life, and developing them what?

Of course, there are some saints who think that the money is not as good as improving poor mountainous areas... There are even people who think that hadron collision will destroy the world...

There are many difficulties involved!

Trillion dollars, Congress is unlikely to approve it, 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 would not be able to develop this machine in a few decades.

But now, everyone 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 took one day!

As for the economy? money? Is it useful? Go to hell!

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 the significance. If the "supersymmetry theory" is really verified... it is simply unbelievable, and the entire physics edifice will be rewritten! Human beings have at least gone from ignorance to half-knowledge. This will be a leap forward!

This group of scientists, designers, and engineers all want to witness history and be 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 records of "great scientist" Zhang Peng...

"what's the situation?"

Yu Yifeng blinked hard 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!

"And you used a hairdressing robot to shave your head?"

He simply didn't know what to say. Could such a good person suddenly have a mental illness? Yu Yifeng thought so subconsciously.

If it can be treated, it still needs to be treated. After all, he has invented a superconducting material that transcends the ages, so he must have some talent...

Speaking of which, the construction of the Super Hadron Collider was largely due to superconducting materials. Without these superconducting materials, its cost and engineering volume would be many times higher. A large amount of liquid nitrogen refrigeration would have low fault tolerance, high cost, and be very troublesome. This is not something humans can bear at the moment.

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. Now he has been imprisoned in a mental hospital, which is actually a converted 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". Everything is called by civilians based on the level of knowledge and contribution of scientists.

Xu Yunjin is worried that if this development continues, a privileged class will emerge 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 about it and didn't take it to heart. The current phenomenon of people advocating science is a good thing. The total number of scientists on Noah actually accounted for more than half of the population.

Compared with the other great scientists I met today, Zhang Peng, a "great scientist", is completely different, both in terms of personality and charm.

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 strange feeling, but this feeling is very light. Thinking about it again, he is really too busy now. His schedule these days is completely full. Compared with the Hadron Collider, Zhang Peng's request can only be considered a minor 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...
