From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

The four of them were taken aback for a moment, and then they couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao. How dare Lin Xiao plan to cooperate with them in a show?

Kang Chengning scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Ah...Director Lin, there's no need for this, let's forget it, we're just joking."

Lin Xiao smiled heartily, and said, "Okay, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I understand, after all, we are all young people."

"Of course, since you don't want it, forget it."

At this time, Chen Gong next to him touched his nose, and said, "Shen Lin, you can still ask for this..."

The three people next to him were speechless at once. Isn't this kind of dramatic praise not awkward?

Kang Chengning held Chen Gong back, and said helplessly, "Old Chen, let's wait for Director Lin to talk about the business."

Seeing the way the other three shook their heads, Chen Gong had no choice but to say: "Okay, listen to you."

Looking at their appearance, Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head, and then said: "Okay, let's talk about business, but this is not the place to talk about business, go to my office first."

"Ok."

The four nodded, and then followed Lin Xiao to his office.

"So, our business is related to the email you sent me."

After arriving at the office, Lin Xiao asked the four of them to sit down, and then started talking.

"Of course, before I talk about the content, I still have to congratulate you."

"Your results are very important and very important. I don't know if you know what your results mean, but what I can tell you now is that this thing is related to our controllable nuclear fusion." Lin Xiao said Dao: "That is to say, your results will likely lead to the realization of our controllable nuclear fusion."

The four of them immediately opened their mouths.

Controlled nuclear fusion?

The thing they created by accident is actually related to this tall thing?

Something that cost 40 in total?

Seeing their surprised expressions, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't be too surprised, you all know that I am now the chief engineer of the Golden Crow Project, although the Golden Crow Project has not yet been approved when you are asked to do these things, but Before the establishment of the project, I must have conducted research in this area."

"That's why I asked you to try to study this aspect."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help sighing with emotion: "But to be honest, I never thought that you guys could actually do it at the time, but I never expected that you actually did it."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the four of Kang Chengning couldn't help smiling, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

Although this sentence is not considered a compliment, it also just shows Lin Xiao's surprise. In this way, although it can't be as they imagined before, Lin Xiao called to express his surprise to their results, but this kind of The method is not much different.

When talking about this, Lin Xiao asked very curiously: "Speaking of which, why did you think of using the tungsten plates in the tokamak?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's question, several people showed embarrassing expressions on their faces again.

this question...

Then Kang Chengning scratched his head and explained to Lin Xiao.

"What? You don't know how to complete the request I gave you at the beginning, and then just randomly choose this kind of material that has participated in nuclear fusion?"

Hearing their explanation, Lin Xiao was shocked immediately.

Good guy, he used to shock others, but this time these four people really shocked him.

Can we still talk about metaphysics in this science?

Thinking about his previous achievements, which ones were not all scientific methods that were smashed through blunt research, but these four people relied on metaphysics, and then spent 40 yuan to get this thing out?

system!system!I don't want a science system anymore, I want a luck system!

He shouted a few words in his heart, of course, before the system took it seriously, he added another sentence: Just kidding.

After being surprised for a while, he could only give a thumbs up to these four people and said, "Amazing."

All four of them laughed.

"Luck, luck."

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "Okay, luck or not, let's talk about it later, I hope your luck can continue to improve, so maybe we can complete the Golden Crow Project sooner."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Kang Chengning was taken aback for a moment at first, then he came to his senses and quickly asked, "Director Lin, what do you mean by this sentence?"

"The four of you, follow me to the Golden Crow Project to do research. This is what you are researching." Lin Xiaodao: "I have arranged for people to purchase domestic tungsten plates, which are the kind used in your experiments. The first batch is probably It will arrive soon, about ten kilograms, and I will arrange a job for the four of you, which is to find more tungsten plates of this kind."

"Of course, if you don't want to go, I won't stop you. I will give you another 200 million yuan in funding. You should basically be able to complete the next project, but for the research on this tungsten plate, you may just It can’t be done, and at the same time, you also need to sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that the relevant content will not be disclosed in the future.”

"So, which one are you going to choose?"

Hearing the two choices given by Lin Xiao, the four of them glanced at each other.

No matter what, the 200 million funding is indeed very good. If it is distributed among the four of them, it will be 50, which is more than the previous four people's 40.

But for this choice, they all naturally chose the same: "We choose the Golden Crow Project."

Just kidding, the Golden Crow Project is a key national project with an initial investment of 500 billion. The most important thing is controllable nuclear fusion!

Once they enter the Golden Crow Project, what they study is this tall thing!

In addition, the project to go to Jinwu can also appear in front of Director Lin from time to time. After going back and forth, won't they become more acquainted?

I know how to choose with my eyes closed.

And Lin Xiao also smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, I'm very glad that you can make this choice, so you should prepare for it in the past few days. In three days, we will go to the Golden Crow Project together, no problem?"

"no problem!"

The four immediately expressed excitedly.

"Okay, that's it. Look for me here in three days. Don't forget to prepare your luggage. Of course, just bring some clothes and daily necessities. There are quilts and sheets."

"it is good!"

The four nodded.

Then they didn't stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to Lin Xiao, they left Lin Xiao's office.

On the way back, the four of them were extremely excited.

This time, they can be said to have passed several stages of scientific research personnel, directly entered the national key project, and even took charge of a key project.

And recalling what Lin Xiao said just now, they were even more excited, chatting non-stop along the way.

"However, Lin Shen said just now that he had someone prepare ten kilograms of that tungsten plate? Isn't that too much?"

Suddenly, Ma Bin said.

Chen Gong nodded, "Yes."

Several people were full of emotion. As expected of the chief engineer of the Golden Crow Project, they only sent the email for a week, and they got ten kilograms. Thinking about how much effort they spent, they only got less than fifty grams, half a catty. None.

Kang Chengning said with a smile: "Okay, after all, he is Lin Shen, so let's not talk about these for now, then in the next three days, clean up well, and then prepare to go to Jinmen City."

"Ok!"

The other three nodded, and then separated with hope for the future.

……

three days later.

Lin Xiao brought these four young people who were still intern researchers to the Institute of the Golden Crow Project.

After leading the four people to familiarize themselves with the venue, Lin Xiao let them start the experiment.

That is to find more tungsten plates whose internal strong interaction force and electromagnetic interaction force are related.

After finding out more samples of this kind, Lin Xiao will use them for experiments, that is, use them to test under neutron irradiation to see whether their maximum DPA value will change from that of ordinary tungsten plates.

Of course, this is a very complicated process.

This means that they need to continuously analyze the tungsten plate with ARPES angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, and need to divide the original tungsten plate into many small pieces for measurement.

Although it is simple, the workload is heavy, but there is no way to do it. For the final success, it can only be troubled like this.

Just like that, another month passed.

In the end, they found about one kilogram of this tungsten plate from the first batch of ten kilograms and the second batch of twenty kilograms of nuclear fusion tungsten plates, and one kilogram was divided into 21 pieces.

Of course, this number is quite large, so Lin Xiao took these tungsten blocks and started the irradiation experiment.

Chapter 428 Success or failure?

The irradiation experiments to be carried out on these special tungsten blocks are naturally neutron irradiation experiments.

Although neutrons cannot be controlled, scientists can control the collision path of neutrons by controlling where they are emitted.

As we all know, in the process of nuclear fission, the initial stage is to absorb a neutron by heavy nuclear atoms such as uranium, thorium, and plutonium, and then start to produce fission reactions.

Just like in a nuclear fission power plant, the uranium [-] in the fission reactor undergoes fission reaction in this way.

So this means that there are substances capable of producing neutron sources. In nuclear fission power plants, californium-252 neutron sources are generally used.

There are quite a lot of places in China that can do this kind of neutron irradiation experiment, but because they want to conduct a large dose of neutron irradiation experiment to simulate the real nuclear fusion reaction environment as much as possible, so Lin Xiao They finally chose the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in Cotton City.

When they contacted the institute, the institute was naturally more than happy to provide it.

Of course, facing the cooperation proposed by the Golden Crow Project, and this institute is engaged in nuclear physics research, they have no reason to refuse.

So after making contact and confirming the time to use the laboratory, Lin Xiao personally brought the people and the 21 samples to the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry.

After arriving here, there was no banquet or entertainment, and the neutron irradiation experiment officially started.

"All the samples are in place, the neutron source is also ready, and the irradiation test can start at any time."

A staff member said, then looked at Lin Xiao next to him, and asked, "Mr. Lin, can we start now?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "No need to wait, let's start now."

"Okay, start now! Start the neutron source!"

The staff member immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said.

Subsequently, other staff in the laboratory immediately followed suit and started the neutron source.

Then, in the experimental instrument, neutrons are emitted from the neutron source, and because the interior is a vacuum state, these neutrons can rampage inside.

And some of the neutrons may directly hit the twenty or so samples.

Although there are only 21 samples, the control group is naturally indispensable, so seven ordinary tungsten plates are added to it.

In this way, they can measure the difference in the DPA value of these different materials.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people still have doubts about Lin Xiao's experiment.

Just like now, Zhang Ran, the director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry who was standing beside Lin Xiao and also watching the experiment, was very puzzled: "Academician Lin, why are you using these tungsten blocks? What are they for? ?"

Hearing this question, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Tungsten plate, what do you think it can be used for?"

"I knew they were used as the inner wall of your nuclear fusion tokamak device, but as far as I know, although tungsten plates are relatively powerful compared to other materials, they are really used in your controllable nuclear fusion reaction If you go, it's still choking enough, right?"

Zhang Ran was puzzled.

"really."

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, but then stopped talking.

Zhang Ran couldn't help being even more puzzled, but seeing that Lin Xiao seemed unwilling to say more, he had no choice but to give up in the end.

After all, the Golden Crow Project also involves state secrets. In other words, there are not many people who belong to their research institute in the experiments here, and they are basically people brought over by Lin Xiao from the Golden Crow Project.

And even he signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Maybe Lin Xiao is experimenting with some secret technology now.

So it's better to ask less. The more you know, the greater the possibility of inadvertently leaking secrets.

Lin Xiao, who was next to him, saw that Zhang Ran did not continue to ask, and nodded slightly.

After all, what was going to be experimented this time was the most critical material technology, so basically he didn't reveal too much, and there were no more than ten insiders, including four people like Kang Chengning.

Of course, because of this, other people basically don't know what he is doing with these tungsten blocks, especially these tungsten blocks that have already participated in nuclear fusion reactions and are basically useless, especially It is also more or less doped with a little radiation, which is not only useless but also harmful.

But, Lin Xiaoke won't reveal the role of it to them.

As a result, the laboratory returned to silence, only the sound of some operating computers remained.

As time passed, the irradiation test was carried out quietly for an hour.
