Chapter 535 Farewell Banquet, Comrades Still Need to Work Hard!

The air in the box seemed to condense into a solid form at this moment. No one expected that Lingchuan was actually an expert in the field of nuclear energy.

For "nuclear", ordinary people may think of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants.

But in fact, "nuclear" has a special mission. It has been recognized by all countries in the world and is the winner or loser in reshuffling the world structure.

Why do you say this?

Everyone has the desire for hegemony.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a major country develops technology to intercept nuclear weapons, it can completely break the existing pattern and make its own country the leader.

Without the technology to intercept nuclear weapons, who would dare to stand up and break the current situation?

It's obvious.

No country dares to do this.

In addition to the subdivision of nuclear weapons, "nuclear" also plays a major role in the energy field.

Today's nuclear power plants all use nuclear fission technology. This technology requires a large amount of water for cooling, and also produces a steady stream of nuclear wastewater.

It is worth mentioning here that there is an essential difference between nuclear wastewater and nuclear sewage.

Nuclear wastewater is wastewater that has not come into contact with nuclear fission devices, only participates in heat dissipation, and meets United Nations discharge standards.

However, nuclear sewage is generally caused by damage to the isolation device of the nuclear power plant and direct contact of seawater or river water with the sewage generated by the nuclear fission device.

Nuclear sewage not only contains a large amount of radioactive elements, but also exceeds the standard. Once it is directly discharged, it will cause the death of marine life in the least, and cause abnormal mutations in the worst case.

Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is much more environmentally friendly.

Assuming that magnetic confinement can control nuclear fusion, then it does not need to rely on a steady stream of seawater or river water for heat dissipation like nuclear fission.

Whoever controls the nuclear power will have the upper hand in the 21st century. This is an unspoken rule that all countries default to.

After Wang Shan came to his senses, he glanced at the men and women in the box, and finally focused on Chen Xing and asked: "Brother Chen, aren't these all experts in the field of nuclear energy?"

When he said this, his voice trembled visibly.

If there are so many nuclear energy experts to help, why worry about the nuclear fusion project failing?

"Gulu."

Qin Long swallowed secretly and looked forward to Chen Xing's confirmation.

"That's right"

Chen Xing did not give in. He nodded in confirmation and introduced: "These are our Longxing Group's talents with potential in the direction of nuclear energy."

"hiss--"

The words fell.

Wang Shan, Qin Long and others took a deep breath.

They really didn't expect that Longxing Group had such a foundation.

Before they could speak, Chen Xing added: "I originally thought that after the advent of room-temperature superconducting materials, we would start developing controllable nuclear fusion, but since the country already has corresponding projects, our Longxing Group naturally has to contribute. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Fengzhi nodded slightly and continued: "Yes, sirs, my name is Zhuge Fengzhi. I have been working at Longxing Group for a year. I usually assist in the research and development of lithium batteries, but I major in high energy. Neutron protection device.”

"High energy neutron protection device?"

Qin Long was suddenly startled.

Perhaps many people don’t know what high-energy neutrons are.

If you want to understand what high-energy neutrons are, you need to first know what neutrons are.

Neutron, the full name is an electrically neutral particle, with a small but non-zero magnetic moment.

What is a tiny but non-zero magnetic moment?

To put it simply, it has a certain degree of magnetism. Although this magnetism may be very weak, it is not zero.

At the macro level, we may not be able to observe it, but at the micro level, we can "predict" its characteristics.

As for high-energy neutrons, they not only have magnetic properties, but also have ionization capabilities and can penetrate deeply into materials.

After in-depth research, nuclear fusion will continuously produce neutrons and other ions, which will penetrate the nuclear fusion protective device and cause continuous damage.

This is a bit like picking up wet clothes and shaking them hard. A large number of water droplets will be shot in the direction of the swing. Nuclear fusion shoots a large number of particles 360 degrees without dead ends. In a short period of time, they may not cause damage to the device, but Over a long period of time, it is possible to destroy the nuclear fusion device. Therefore, how to protect these particles is an unavoidable topic in controllable nuclear fusion.

Looking at Qin Long's surprised look, Zhuge Fengzhi nodded again and responded: "Yes, I have developed a protective device that uses a layered structure and can defend against 99% of high-energy neutrons."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Qin Long held his breath, like a student studying.

Before entering a management position, he had actually been studying particles, looking for those ethereal ghost particles.

What are ghost particles?

The mainstream in the academic community believes that ghost particles are dark matter.

I want to indirectly prove the existence of dark matter by proving ghost particles.

But decades later, the ghost particle project still had no clue. He also switched to neutron protection, joined the controllable nuclear fusion project, and served as the team leader of the "High Energy Neutron Protection Project", but there was still no obvious progress.

Many people have no concept of things at the microscopic level such as particles and neutrons, because it is difficult for even a doctor to explain these things.

But now, when Qin Long heard that someone had achieved results in high-energy neutron defense, he was really surprised and eager to get proof.

"certainly."

Zhuge Fengzhi smiled calmly and explained his theoretical results:

"The protective device is composed of hydrogen materials, lithium-containing materials, and heavy metal composite materials, such as polyethylene, lead, and tungsten."

"First, for the outermost layer, we use wear-resistant, strong, and antioxidant materials to play a physical protective role. High-energy neutrons can easily pass through this layer."

"The focus is on the second layer. We can use hydrogen-containing materials to slow down the speed of neutrons in this layer, which is equivalent to braking it. In addition, the polyethylene boron carbide composite material can capture a large number of high-energy neutrons while braking."

"What should we do with the remaining high-energy neutrons?"

Zhuge Fengzhi asked himself and answered, and continued: "The high-energy electrons that penetrate the second layer have their speed reduced. They can be called medium-energy electrons, or medium-speed electrons. At this time, the third layer of heavy metal protective layer can reflect part of them to the second layer. . "

"If it can still penetrate, it doesn't matter, we still have the fourth layer."

Zhuge Fengzhi paused for half a second and said the fourth layer material: "That is to use graphite and beryllium oxide to completely cut off the high-energy neutrons' way forward."

"In summary, the high-energy neutron protection device achieves effective protection against high-energy neutrons through multi-layer material shielding, neutron deceleration and absorption, reflection and scattering mechanisms, and customization and optimization. "

After listening to Zhuge Fengzhi's story, Qin Long had a general understanding of his ability. He excitedly walked in front of the latter and said: "If you join the controlled nuclear fusion project, we will be like a tiger with wings and like a fish in water, Comrade Zhuge Fengzhi."

Soldiers are easy to get, but generals are hard to find.

The materials described by Zhuge Fengzhi can be synthesized by the Dragon Academy of Science.

In other words, as long as he goes to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base, he can immediately show his skills.

"The president has talked to us. For the great rejuvenation of Dragon Country, we are willing to go." Zhuge Fengzhi made a direct statement.

Not only him, but others also expressed their attitudes at this moment.

"For the great rejuvenation of Dragon Country, we have no choice but to go!"

"That's right, since we have come to the appointment, we have made up our minds to go to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base!"    "That's right!"

"For the great rejuvenation, for Dragon Country to reach the top of the world again!"

"Sun Yat-sen once said that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Perhaps our generation is to shoulder this mission, so we are willing to go!"

Listening to the firm and resounding answers of the crowd, Wang Shan and Qin Long felt deafening, like thunder ringing in their ears.

Going to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base means that they cannot reveal any news to the outside world before decryption, and they may even stay there for decades.

If it weren't for patriotism, who would be willing to devote decades of their youth?

As it was said at the end, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Now this generation is not responsible for anything else, but to lift Dragon Country back to the top of the world, the position that has been maintained for thousands of years.

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Shan said three good words in a row, and his eyes were already slightly moist.

He didn't cry when a bullet shot through his thigh, but tonight, he was really moved by everyone's determination.

This is just like Huang Biao, the "puppet army hero" during the Anti-Japanese War. Although he was misunderstood by his fellow villagers, spat on and thrown stones by children when he went out, he was not angry, but smiled with relief: "Our children still have backbone, and the country has hope."

In Wang Shan's view, as long as you have courage and faith, all difficulties are temporary.

If everyone loses courage and faith, they will completely lose hope, which is ten thousand times more terrible than war.

"With your help, I believe that Longguo will not only be able to conquer controlled nuclear fusion, but also return to the top of the world in the near future."

Qin Long said excitedly.

"Of course, as long as everyone is united, difficulties will be a thing of the past."

"Well said!"

"I suggest you take a seat first, I want to toast you a glass of wine."

Zhang Zhongchun, Yin Songyang, and Hao Zidong also expressed their opinions.

These academicians did not go to the United States, did not change their nationality, and were not corrupted by the high salary. In fact, they all held their breath in their hearts, that is, they wanted to see whether their motherland could achieve great rejuvenation.

Because in the inherent thinking of the people of Longguo, they would unite against strong enemies.

Just like the Three Kingdoms period, no matter how Wei, Shu and Wu fought, whenever there was a foreign invasion, the three would send troops to pacify it.

This is why foreign invasions were rarely heard during the Three Kingdoms period, and this is also why the Five Barbarians' Rebellion and the capture of the two dragons are still regarded as shame.

"Please take your seats. This meal is equivalent to your practice banquet. One day in the future, I hope to accompany you to a welcoming banquet."

Chen Xing glanced at everyone and said.

"Mr. Chen is right. Please take your seats. I will go to call for the dishes." Zhang Zhongchun just finished speaking and hurried out of the box and greeted his own guard standing at the door.

Because it involved top-secret conversations, not only was the box carefully inspected, but the manager who was supposed to stand at the door of the box waiting for instructions according to hotel regulations was removed and replaced by Wang Shan and Qin Long's guards.

"I'll do it right away."

The guard hurriedly trotted over to notify.

After a while.

Dishes were served on the table.

When the door of the box was closed again, Wang Shan picked up the wine glass, stood up, glanced around and said: "This glass of wine is for everyone."

After that.

He raised his head and drank it all.

Seeing this, the others stood up and drank up the wine in their hands.

Qin Long put down the glass, picked up the wine dispenser and poured himself a glass of wine, and raised the glass again and said: "I also toast to everyone."

Without hesitation, he drank it all.

Although they are older and have given up drinking for health reasons, who couldn't drink a few ounces of wine when they were young?

Qin Long not only drank alcohol, he used to smoke and drink all the time.

Now after two drinks, not only did he not feel drunk, but his brain became more alert, as if it had been activated.

"Then I would like to toast you all and wish you a speedy return. I also look forward to the day when controllable nuclear fusion will make a high-profile debut."

Chen Xing raised his glass.

After drinking glasses of wine, time passed by bit by bit.

…

Half past ten in the evening.

It started to rain lightly in the deep city.

Because it was the rainy season, and we were in eastern Guangdong, no one cared why it suddenly started to rain lightly, but the rain also added a lot of sadness to the parting.

"Gu...Chief Gu, I, Qin Long, have never admired many people in my life. You are one, and Mr. Chen is another. Sometimes, I really have to believe in the existence of national destiny."

"Because at critical moments, our Dragon Kingdom is full of talented people!"

Qin Long didn't know how many glasses of wine he had drank, and he was already drunk. He sometimes had to pause when talking.

"Looking back on the past five thousand years, I also believe in the existence of national destiny."

Wang Shan nodded and said.

Gu Ren, whose cheeks were already red, like Guan Gong, heard this and responded intermittently: "I...I don't know...I don't know what national destiny is, but what I know is...you have to walk the road yourself."

The words just fell.

With a "pop" sound, Gu Ren's head hit the table. He was obviously too drunk and passed out.

Not just him, most of the people in the box were already drunk.

The only ones who can still stay awake now are Chen Xing, Wang Shan and Qin Long.

"It's getting late, let's finish our meal here."

Chen Xing glanced at the people who were drunk in the box, then looked at Wang Shan and Qin Long and said, "By the way, when do you plan to go to the northwest?"

"It was originally scheduled for early tonight, but with this situation, they might not be able to wake up for a while, so let's wait until tomorrow."

Wang Shan responded.

He had asked Zhao Chenguang to contact the Western Military Region and dispatched a military special plane. It had landed at Shencheng International Airport two hours ago.

"Then again, Mr. Chen, if we take away so many people, you should have no problem achieving mass production of room-temperature superconducting materials, right?"

Qin Long seemed to have sobered up a bit and spoke more eloquently.

Chen Xing glanced at the sleeping Gu Ren and responded to Qin Long: "Don't worry, with the material synthesis formula compiled by Chief Gu, mass production is already a certainty."

"That's good."

Qin Long breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want the nuclear fusion project to delay Longxing Group's own mass production. A win-win situation between the two would be the best outcome.
