Chapter 217 Chapter 217 [Jinjiang Exclusive, External Obstacles...
Lin Yimu was very busy. After completing the meeting with the academicians of the Academy of Engineering, he immediately ran back to the laboratory to continue the final experiment with Professor Jiang and others.
The mathematical model is still missing the final analytical experiment. As long as the experiment is successful and the complete data is given to the Academy of Engineering, they can start manufacturing the tokamak device, so that neither side will be delayed.
However, everything was going smoothly for Lin Yimu, and even the final model experimental data was calculated correctly. When he was about to proceed to the next step, the Academy of Engineering got stuck and had no choice but to come to Lin Yimu.
"This is the situation. There's nothing we can do. We've been trying to negotiate with the higher-ups, but they've been blocking the release because our country wants it." Academician Liu sat in Lin Yimu's office with a worried look on his face.
When Lin Yimu heard this, his face did not look very good, and he frowned as if thinking about something.
Originally, Lin Yimu and Professor Jiang were happily celebrating the success of the experiment, when they heard Zhou Chuxin say that someone from the Academy of Engineering came to see him.
Originally, Lin Yimu thought that the other party had something he didn't understand and needed his help to explain, but after talking for a few sentences, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
The drawings and other things at the Academy of Engineering have actually been drawn up. Lin Yimu has also seen that they are indeed very precise. But because of this, the precision parts and machine tools required for production have to be updated.
This has never been Country Z's strong point. They had already placed an order with a company they often cooperate with, and they could start work immediately after the goods were delivered. Everyone was very excited and ready to go.
But within two days, they received a notice saying that the goods they ordered were detained at the customs. When the other party learned that the goods were ordered by Country Z, they detained them without saying a word. No matter how they argued, it was useless. Even when the people above went to negotiate, they directly threatened that Country M would impose a complete embargo on Country Z.
Any industrial equipment, machine tool parts, etc. will not be shipped.
Upon hearing this, the top leaders were extremely angry, but since these things were indeed only available in these industrialized countries, they could only swallow their anger and negotiate with the other party.
But the other party's intention was very clear. They were unwilling to let Country Z get these things. Even if they were given the cancer treatment drugs they needed now, they would not be impressed.
In fact, everyone is aware of this situation. It is nothing more than that these industrial powers do not want Country Z to develop controlled nuclear fusion technology. They would rather Country Z be just a processing factory and just develop something that they can reveal. As long as they see any signs of Country Z's rise, they will suppress it in all aspects.
Now they see that Country Z has not only produced a genius in recent years, but also developed drugs to treat cancer, and now it is purchasing these machine tool parts, which shows that it wants to continue researching nuclear fusion technology. How can they tolerate this? Of course they have to start suppressing it.
Due to the above reasons, the Academy of Engineering could not get the machine tools and parts, and could not proceed with the next plan. Academician Liu could only come to Lin Yimu with an embarrassed and helpless look to explain the situation.
The two sat in the office with gloomy faces for a long time. After a while, Lin Yimu looked at Academician Liu and said, "Academician Liu, do you think there is any way to ship these machine tools and parts back to China first? We have completed the experiments here, and we are just waiting for you to manufacture the tokamak device for overall testing. We can't get stuck on this."
Academician Liu's worried face showed surprise when he heard this. "You finished it so quickly?"
After asking, he drooped his eyelids and sighed, and continued: "It is our Academy of Engineering that has held you back, but we have also tried our best. The leaders above have all been dispatched and it has not been accomplished. We...ah!"
Halfway through his speech, Academician Liu sighed, his face full of bitterness and powerlessness.
Seeing that Country Z was on the verge of taking off, problems arose here, which might even lead to the project being unable to proceed, and the hard work of a large number of scientific researchers would be wasted. How could Academician Liu, who had been engaged in research for a lifetime, feel good about this?
However, this kind of thing is not something that the people in the Academy of Engineering who are engaged in research and development can decide. In the final analysis, their country Z is too weak, so weak that it may not be able to seize the opportunity that is about to take off.
The two of them sat here facing each other and lamenting with sad faces. After hearing what Academician Liu had not finished saying, Lin Yimu also fell silent.
His silence was not due to discouragement, but because he was looking through materials in the Interstellar Library, trying to see if there was any engineering material he could refer to.
In fact, if it weren't for the time constraints, Lin Yimu would even want to make up his mind to form his own team and build it himself, but his time is very tight now. He did not take into account the political game between countries at the beginning, and thought that he could basically complete the task within the specified time according to the normal progress.
But now the lack of hardware made Lin Yimu feel frustrated for the first time in a long time.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't come up with a good solution if they continued like this, Academician Liu sighed softly, stood up, patted Lin Yimu on the shoulder and said, "Xiaomu, it's our Academy of Engineering that held you back this time, but this matter is no longer something we can control."
At this point, Academician Liu paused, then looked at Lin Yimu with loving eyes and continued: "As for this project, you can relax. As long as your research results are still there, you will be able to continue one day." It's just that I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I will have the next chance.
When Lin Yimu heard what Academician Liu said, he came back to his senses from the Interstellar Library. Seeing the helplessness and powerlessness in the other's eyes, his heart suddenly became bitter, and he didn't know how to start for a moment.
People like Academician Liu, who have made lifelong contributions to the country, most hope that the country can become strong as soon as possible. They have witnessed with their own eyes the country's transformation from poverty and weakness to its current prosperity and strength.
Everything is booming, but compared with those Western countries, it is so slow and small. However, they have never given up. Through their repeated efforts, they have brought about rapid changes in the country, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to technological development.
But this time, they truly felt powerless and sad. The opportunity for the motherland to become stronger was clearly before their eyes, but because their lifeline was strangled by others, they could only stand still in the face of everything that was within their reach. No matter how they thought about it, they would be unwilling to accept this.
It was not until Dean Liu walked out of the office with a hunched back that Lin Yimu felt his eyes getting hot as he looked at his suddenly bent back.
Lin Yimu sat in the office until the evening. It was not like he was doing nothing. Instead, he spent the entire afternoon searching for various materials in the Interstellar Library and seeking help from System 001.
But this time, just like every time before, he did not find 001, nor did he find the information he wanted in the interstellar library.
In fact, there are books on engineering in the interstellar library, but it is definitely too late for Lin Yimu to study them now, so he can only put them aside after flipping through them.
In this way, Lin Yimu searched until night. During this time, Ke Chengyan and Huang Minglei both came to see him. After knowing the details, they both came happily and left with sad faces.
Afterwards, two elderly men, Professor Jiang and Professor Zheng, also came to the office. Their main purpose was to persuade Lin Yimu to go back and rest. It was already late at night and he still didn't rest. Was he trying to kill himself? However, Lin Yimu found various excuses to perfunctorily get away with it.
In the end, Zhou Chuxin, who was following him, couldn't bear it anymore, so he came in, knocked the man unconscious, and carried him back to the dormitory. He also sent a message to He Xiuji using his mobile phone.
After not having a good rest for a month or two, Lin Yimu woke up again in the afternoon of the next day.
As soon as he woke up, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, the kind that hurt whenever he moved.
I thought about how I sat in the office for most of the night, and finally seemed to be knocked unconscious and brought back.
He reached out and touched the back of his neck which was in great pain. His brows immediately frowned. He guessed who had done it.
But before he could get out of bed to look for someone, Huang Minglei rushed in with a smile on his face.
"Lin Shen! You are truly amazing! We can continue our experiment now!"
Hearing such a meaningless sentence, Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei who ran in with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What? Why don't I understand what you said?"
Huang Minglei knew that Lin Yimu had just woken up and didn't know the situation yet, so he immediately told him the whole story.
"I just received a call from the Academy of Engineering. The batch of machines and spare parts that were stuck at customs are now on their way back to China. It is said that they will land here tonight!" Huang Minglei was obviously very excited when he said the last sentence, and his voice rose several degrees.
"Really?" Lin Yimu was a little bit incredulous when he heard this. "Why are they willing to let us go? Didn't they refuse to accept any conditions put forward by the higher-ups before?"
Speaking of this, Huang Minglei looked at Lin Yimu with emotion and said, "I was also surprised when I received the news. Old Lin, you really found a good partner this time!"
"What does it have to do with Aji?" Lin Yimu became even more confused.
Huang Minglei couldn't help but shudder when he heard Lin Yimu's name. "I say, your name is too disgusting. But let's not talk about this. It's really a pity for you that the other party let you go this time. I didn't expect that the He Group has such a strong influence in Country M!"
Huang Minglei: "I heard that from midnight yesterday to this morning, the citizens of Country M have been in a turmoil. Some people even organized a parade that reached the gate of the White House..."
Lin Yimu was in a state of shock and daze when he heard what Huang Minglei said.
He really didn't expect He Xiuji to be so powerful. He could make such a big fuss in such a short period of time, even to the point of a mass demonstration by the people of Country M.
Moreover, the machine tools and parts that were detained at customs were actually shipped back to the country under such chaotic circumstances.
