Chapter 216 Chapter 216 [Jinjiang Exclusive, Reactions from All Sides...
Central Meeting Room
The leaders and dignitaries were in a meeting, even General Wu from the military, Chairman Bai and Vice Chairman Jiang were present.
The purpose of this meeting was not for any other reason, but because of the nuclear fusion project that Lin Yimu was working on.
When Wang Jin helped Lin Yimu submit the project, he did not think it would be approved, but in the end it was not only approved, but it was also handled quite quickly.
Half of the reason for this is that the leaders did not consult or even inform some uninformed people.
The only people who knew about this were those in the leader's faction. Now that Lin Yimu was borrowing people from outside so frequently, it would be abnormal if no one noticed.
It was just that because of the spy issue, they had not had time to inquire about and deal with it. Now that the spy issue has been almost dealt with, the nuclear fusion project that Lin Yimu applied for has become the most important matter and was brought up at the meeting by someone from another faction.
"Leader, don't you think the approval of Comrade Lin Yimu's application for research on controlled nuclear fusion technology was too hasty?" A man in the middle of the conference table with a big belly spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"Yes, leader, you approved his application without any notice. I think this is too hasty and even completely disregards the national interest."
"Leader, we already have a research team on the controlled nuclear fusion project. We spend a lot of money every year but there is no sign of success. Do you think that if we let a young man who is less than 20 years old to form a team and start this project again, can he really succeed?"
"As far as I know, the reason why the previous team failed was because nuclear fusion technology could not be precisely operated with current industrial technology. Why would you agree to a young man's reapplication? Is it just because he developed a drug to treat cancer?"
......
Someone took the lead in raising doubts, and everyone began to ask questions at once. Although everyone's questions were very organized, it inevitably made the meeting room seem as noisy as a vegetable market.
The leader being questioned and the people in his faction listened quietly to the crowd's questions.
After everyone had asked their questions, the leader spoke calmly, "I can answer your questions now. The reason why I support Comrade Lin to continue this experiment is because he has the ability to do so."
After saying this, the leader began to recount all of Lin Yimu’s achievements over the past few years.
From the story of how Lin Yimu participated in the IMO competition and won the gold medal when he was 16 years old, to the story of his recently completed cancer drug research, one thing after another made those who had just been skeptical couldn't help but nod their heads.
Some people even felt that, given Lin Yimu's extraordinary performance along the way, it seemed difficult for them to have any doubts about his ability to complete the nuclear fusion experiment.
But as soon as this idea came out, many people thought of the leader’s attitude towards Lin Yimu and the different treatment of Lin Yimu by his faction, which made them feel a little angry towards Lin Yimu.
Although they were unhappy, they did not have the courage to do anything in private. Even if they were in a serious factional struggle, they understood what the project that Lin Yimu was researching would mean to the country if it was successful.
Moreover, they are a little afraid of the leader's methods, which can teach his opponents a lesson without any expression, and they have no evidence. Everyone even applauds because he is not only capable of dealing with people, but can often find something in the people he deals with that can benefit himself or even help his political achievements.
Under his leadership, the country has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, and even its international status is rising.
But the leader of the other faction felt unhappy about this matter. After thinking about it, he decided to just ask why the other party was hiding it from them.
"Leader, why do you..."
Before the other party could finish his words, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the door, and they were all thinking, who would knock on the door and disturb us at this time? How tactless! Can't they see we're in a meeting?
Even though I complained in my heart, I also knew that no one working in a government agency was short-sighted, and it was probably something important.
The leader ignored everyone's gaze and just asked someone to come in.
The person who walked in was the leader's secretary. He went straight to the front and whispered something in the leader's ear.
The leader looked at him with surprise and asked again in a low voice: "Are you telling the truth? Did you get the report?"
The secretary shook his head and explained in a low voice: "Not yet. I heard that Comrade Lin is still writing. The news was sent to you in advance to reassure you."
The leader patted the secretary on the shoulder with a smile on his face and asked the secretary to leave first.
After the door of the conference room was closed, everyone looked at the leader who had been smiling since the beginning. In the end, the man who had just been interrupted couldn't help but ask, "Leader, what good thing happened?"
Hearing this, the leader turned to look at the person who asked the question with a smile on his face, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Comrade Lin Xiao's superconductor material experiment was successful. It is said that after the material research is completed, we can find the Academy of Engineering to start designing drawings and building a tokamak device."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, and the conference room was extremely quiet for a while.
Everyone has different thoughts in their minds.
After a long while, someone whispered, "How could it be so fast? It's been less than half a year and they've already developed the material. The previous research teams took at least three to five years to achieve interim results, but this one's only been less than half a year. Are you kidding me?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room heard them and exclaimed in amazement, finding it unbelievable.
Although they are in politics, they still have some common sense about scientific research. They have never seen results come out so quickly.
It has been decades since the previous experimental team was formed, and they only have a set of mature theories. Now in Lin Yimu's hands, it has only been a short time, and superconducting materials have been developed. This is a huge blow to those scientists who have worked hard for half their lives.
After all, they were not engaged in scientific research, so they just sighed for a while and then began to look at the leader with great interest, hoping to see the research results of this enchanting Comrade Lin.
————
The leaders temporarily stopped their activities because of Lin Yimu's news, and they all began to encourage their leaders to go to the scene to check it out.
However, Science Island and the Northwestern Polytechnical University Research Institute, which were also researching controlled nuclear fusion technology like Lin Yimu, were shocked but not very happy when they heard the news.
Science Island was created to specialize in the research of nuclear fusion technology. Not to mention that all the people gathered here are talented researchers, but they are all very capable scientific researchers, some of whom have even been studying nuclear fusion for their entire lives.
However, after so many years, apart from developing a mature theory, people have been unable to succeed in experiments due to various limitations.
When they heard that Lin Yimu had also applied for this project, everyone on Science Island didn’t believe that a young man like him could succeed. They even thought it was a question whether his makeshift team could even take the first step.
But who would have thought that less than half a year had passed and the other party had already developed the superconducting material for making the tokamak device, and even succeeded in the experiment. How could they not be shocked?
Superconductor materials are a relatively important step in the entire project. As long as the superconductor material experiment is successful, subsequent experiments will naturally be smoother. As long as Lin Yimu and his tokamak device are built and tested successfully, completing the experiment of the controlled nuclear fusion test station will be just around the corner.
After the shock, everyone felt an endless stream of complex emotions in their hearts, mixed with a hint of bitterness.
As the first nuclear fusion laboratory established in Country Z, not only did they fail after decades of research, but they were also surpassed by a young man who was less than 20 years old. Even if the other party was a genius and a monster praised by the outside world, and even if the other party made great contributions to the country in drug research, they really didn't expect that they could develop superconducting materials so quickly.
Regardless of what everyone on Science Island thinks, let’s talk about the Northwestern Polytechnical University Research Institute that once cooperated with Lin Yimi.
After learning the news, although they were shocked, they seemed to feel that it was reasonable.
After feeling a little bitter in my heart for a while, I felt more powerless and ashamed of myself.
Although their research direction is not controlled nuclear fusion, it is also an experiment related to aerospace. Their institute has been studying the problems of engines and thrust for several years, but there has not been much progress until now. This has made them lose confidence to some extent, especially when compared with the news they heard, they feel even more upset.
Most people think this way, but some people feel regretful after hearing the news.
They regretted not agreeing when Lin Yimu invited them, but refused without thinking. If they had agreed, they might have a share of the current research results.
And in the subsequent controlled nuclear fusion experiments, perhaps they can also contribute. Although they may not be recorded in history, their treatment will definitely be better than now. Maybe they can even take advantage of Lin Yimu's fame to go further.
Of course, there are still a minority of people who think this way, but it is also human nature.
But knowing it earlier is priceless, and there is no place to buy medicine for regret.
Lin Yimu had no idea about the reactions of all parties. After he finished writing the report and submitted it, he went directly to contact the Academy of Engineering.
As long as the progress goes smoothly, their mathematical model can be completed quickly, so contacting the Academy of Engineering to draw the blueprints will be the most urgent task.
