We came to the place where the last meeting was held again, but Wang Miao found that the confidentiality level of the meeting seemed to be higher this time. It had gone through numerous inspections from the outside to the inside. Someone used a scanner to check whether everyone who entered was wearing a A tiny camera or tape recorder.
Finally, the mobile phones were stored with the guards, and each of them signed a confidentiality agreement before they were able to enter.
Shi Qiang, who brought him here, had also undergone many tests, but Shi Qiang didn't care much about these tests. He comforted him and said: "This is a normal test, because the meeting level this time is very high, and Mr. Qian also wants to do it." Come, so you understand.”
After hearing this, Wang Miao understood that Mr. Qian was a valuable talent at the national level, and he was older, so he had to be careful.
But Wang Miao didn't notice that after Shi Qiang said this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He himself was also curious about why there was such an impromptu meeting at this time, and the confidentiality level of the meeting was very high.
In the past meetings he participated in, he could also know part of the general content, but this time, he really knew nothing. The only thing he knew was partly related to the deceased Yang Dong, which he had deduced by himself. Know if it is right or not.
"Let's go, this is the conference room!" Shi Qiang said, and came to another conference room. When he got here, he discovered that the conference room here was larger than the conference room next to it, and the center of the conference room was also There were some equipment that he couldn't understand.
Looks like a large surrounding coil?
"Hey, come this way, Professor Wang." Shi Qiang led Wang Miao to a corner and sat down.
Only then did Wang Miao realize that there were some familiar faces sitting around him. They were all academic research talents, such as energy, physics, and materials.
"By the way, Professor Wang, can you tell what the device in the middle is?" Shi Qiang asked at this time.
Wang Miao hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, a professor from the physics department next to him whispered: "This is a coil device. Look at how it is wound. When it is energized, it can produce a strong magnetic field in the center of the device. In addition, I don’t know what the use is. I looked here for a long time before you guys came, but I couldn’t see anything interesting.”
"Wang Miao, I'm studying nanomaterials." Wang Miao stretched out his hand.
The professor from the physics department shook hands with him and said: "Chen Dao, who has the same name as Chen Dao in the Three Kingdoms, studies applied physics."
"Hey, Shi Qiang, haha, I am Professor Wang's security guard. I may also be responsible for your safety in the future. Let's cooperate more in the future." At this time, Shi Qiang quickly stepped in and shook hands with Chen Dao.
Chen Dao was a little surprised when he heard Shi Qiang's words, but he was not surprised at all. He said, "Oh, that's pretty good. I'll bother you later."
Hearing this, Shi Qiang's eyes moved. He realized that Chen Dao in front of him should know some information, otherwise he would not have heard the word "security" and would not have much reaction.
Otherwise, when most people hear about security, they are first surprised that there are any dangers in the country.
So Shi Qiang immediately thought about coming here from Chen to inquire about some information. He said: "By the way, Professor Chen, Professor Wang has just arrived. He has participated in a meeting before and knows something about the suicide of a large number of scientists some time ago. Can you give me some information?" Let him introduce."
As he spoke, he whispered: "Professor Wang is a little dazed and can't wrap his head around it. I'm afraid something will happen to him. He was still sweating when I picked him up today."
"Oh, I don't know much about this matter. This time I attended the meeting mainly because..." When Chen Dao said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he looked at Shi Qiang and asked: "You , could he have sneaked in?"
"How is it possible? It's so tight outside. Who can get in? Look at this brand, Shi Qiang, and my work ID, also Shi Qiang. How about it?" Shi Qiang showed Chen the ID badge on his seat and his own work ID. To see.
However, when Chen Dao saw this, he only confirmed Shi Qiang's identity. After hesitating for a while, he only said: "You can see for yourselves later, the experiment will start soon."
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything and wasn't embarrassed, Shi Qiang looked at the other people around him and looked like they didn't want to talk to him to avoid getting into trouble, so he couldn't say anything and could only sit and wait.
After waiting for about half an hour, all the seats in the conference room were full. There were about 50 people in the conference room. When Chang Weisi took Mr. Qian and two other young people from the conference room After walking in through the door.
The guard outside directly closed the door of the conference room and activated the signal jamming device. From now on, no signals will be transmitted out of this conference room.
Chang Weisi is the initiator and person in charge of this meeting.
He first asked people to hand out some information one by one.
Shi Qiang checked the information directly after getting it. He originally thought that the information would tell him some information about the mission. After all, since he entered this special department, he actually didn't know much about the department's situation and tasks. , the last time he only got this special information during the war from Chang Weisi.
But what puzzles him is that the world is generally in a state of peace now, with only a few areas experiencing less serious friction. So how could it be wartime?
This information did not answer his doubts, but instead increased his doubts.
Because the information introduces a state-secret department, Institute 501.
Since the 1960s and 1970s, the 501 Department has been conducting research on special functions. This part of the information is an introduction to the 501 Department.
After watching for a while, Chang Weisi used a microphone to amplify his voice on the podium and said: "You have all read it. The purpose of inviting comrades here this time is actually about the latest research results of the 501 Institute. Please come here. After the research results are presented, evaluate them.
As for the content of today's meeting, everyone here has signed a special confidentiality agreement, so I won't emphasize the confidentiality anymore. Then I would like to ask Comrade Chu Li, the director of the 501 Institute, and Comrade Chu Xuan, the researcher, to help you demonstrate. . "
After hearing this, there was some noise and discussion.
They never imagined that today's meeting would actually allow them to see the research results of special functions. If the level of this meeting were not high enough and so formal, they might think it was a trick similar to water turning into oil. I want to leave now.
But even without saying it, Chu Li felt that these people did not particularly trust him, the director of Institute 501.
He didn't care, seeing was believing.
So he directly arranged for Chu Xuan to debug the newly made coil device.
The materials of this device have been specially upgraded and are much more advanced than the device materials they used in previous experiments outside 501 Institute.
The same operation followed, but this time the materials used by Chu Xuan were much better than before, which reduced the difficulty for Chu Li to control nuclear fusion.
When the little sun burned, the entire conference room was silent. The scholars and experts present knew more about the difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion than the older generation of researchers left in 501, and they also understood this better. After the experiment is successful, how will global science and technology develop?
To put it bluntly, once nuclear fusion is successful, mankind will have an almost unlimited energy source, and human development will enter the fast lane. The development rate in one year may be faster than the past ten years combined.
Moreover, with controllable nuclear fusion, humans can quickly enter the universe and develop in space, and many resources in the solar system can be utilized.
At this moment, no one spoke, everyone watched quietly as the little sun continued to burn. Only the surrounding instruments continued to record the data when nuclear fusion occurred.
The nuclear fusion continued for more than half an hour before Chu Li extinguished the little sun.
Seeing that the conference room was still quiet, Chang Weisi took the initiative to break the calm and said: "Comrades, the experimental data will be processed soon and will be sent to everyone. Next, we will ask you some questions and hope that everyone can Use the knowledge in your own professional field to provide more professional answers.”
It didn’t take long for the current experimental data to be released.
Shi Qiang also got one, but he couldn't understand it at all. All he could understand was some simple data. For example, when nuclear fusion occurred, the internal temperature of the little sun was hundreds of millions of degrees, which made him feel uncomfortable. Startled.
He glanced at Chen Dao, who was studying the data on the paper with feverish eyes. He estimated that he would not get any answers to his questions at this time, so he turned his attention to Wang Miao, who was 'easier to talk'.
He asked: "Professor Wang, the temperature of this little sun is so high, hundreds of millions of degrees, how come we don't feel much hot even after baking it for so long?"
Wang Miao said while reading the information: "That's because all plasma is restrained by magnetic fields. No, why can a magnetic field of this strength control such a nuclear fusion reaction? Normally, it is impossible to restrain it." . Such a high temperature has already melted all the materials, making it impossible to continue the experiment!"
Wang Miao now felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. Normally, this experiment would definitely fail, and it was impossible to succeed. Such a crude device could not even ignite this little sun, so how could it burn stably.
This is like someone telling him that one plus one equals three. Wang Miao clearly knows that one plus one equals two, but he uses a calculator to calculate, or uses other devices, whether it is an abacus or adding and subtracting with his own two fingers. , the results obtained were all three. This kind of violation of common sense made him extremely uncomfortable, but he had to accept this result.
Not only Wang Miao, but every person present who had some relevant scientific knowledge had the same feeling after getting this information.
Seeing this, Shi Qiang said: "Professor Wang, there is no need to be so entangled. Didn't he say that the latest research of Institute 501 was successful? Maybe he controlled the nuclear reaction with his thoughts?"
Although Shi Qiang said this, he actually didn't believe it. At his age, he had just experienced the qigong craze in the last two decades of the 20th century, so he didn't really believe in the so-called super powers.
Even though the nuclear test of this little sun was being carried out right in front of his eyes, he felt that it might be some kind of special magic or something.
Contrary to Shi Qiang, when Wang Miao heard Shi Qiang's words, he seemed to let go of something. He murmured: "You are right, if you have special powers and can use your mind to strengthen the control and restraint of plasma, then the nuclear power will Fusion can proceed normally. The previous ignition of nuclear fusion was actually done by telekinesis, otherwise where would such a high temperature come from to ignite this device."
When Shi Qiang heard this, he was almost stunned. He just said next, could it be that Wang Miao really got in?
Shi Qiang originally wanted to explain, but Wang Miao seemed to have found the truth and ignored what Shi Qiang said. Instead, he picked up a pen and calculated based on the existing data.
Not long after, Chang Weisi on the podium began to ask questions. He asked every scientist present whether the previously obtained data in their field was useful and could support the country's construction of a controllable nuclear fusion power plant that could be put into normal use. .
Everyone answered this question after thinking about it and gave suggestions. Some people also asked whether they could bring the data back for further detailed calculations, and they all got exact answers.
Not long after, Chen Dao, who was next to Shi Qiang, was also asked.
"Professor Chen, do you think our country's current technology is more likely to succeed in building magnetic confinement nuclear power plants or inertial confinement nuclear power plants?" Chang Weisi asked the questions that had been written before in order.
When Chen Dao heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "How do inertial constraints compare with magnetic constraints? The most suitable one now is magnetic constraints. Not only do we have detailed data, but we also have a successful example in front of us. Inertial constraints are now the starting point. We haven’t started yet, so my suggestion is to use magnetic constraints and completely abandon inertia constraints.”
Chang Weisi nodded and looked at Wang Miao: "Professor Wang, you are an expert in materials. I would like to ask you about materials, about the selection of materials for magnetic confinement nuclear fusion."
"Yes, although I am not a professional in this area, I have just calculated part of the data. But to get detailed results, I have to go back and recalculate." Wang Miao responded.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the information about Institute 501 is not leaked." Chang Weisi said.
Another half day passed before the meeting finally came to an end.
Chang Weisi left the conference room first with the information he had just obtained, while the remaining experts and professors exchanged their experiences and ideas with each other.
Wang Miao originally wanted to discuss it with Chen Dao, but he suddenly remembered the countdown that only he could see.
Suddenly he lost his mood and walked out with the information.
When Shi Qiang saw this, he saw that Professor Wang was worried, so he also walked outside, "Hey, Professor Wang, wait a minute."
Seeing Wang Miao stop, he said, "Didn't I pick you up here? I also have to take you back. Come on, the car is right behind. I'll drive over?"
Wang Miao nodded, "I'll trouble you then."
Wang Miao then waited at the door with the documents in his arms. At this time, he saw two people also appearing outside the door. It was Chu Li and Chu Xuan from Institute 501, who seemed to be waiting for the bus.
He immediately walked over, intending to communicate with the two people.
