(My body is still a little restless, so I’ll rest for another day)
The Tehran strategy is like an undercurrent under water. No one will bring it to the table, and no third-party force will explore the unknown details, not even the United States.
They just observed quietly and maintained the most basic tacit understanding. As long as the bottom line was not touched, they did not intend to intervene immediately.
After all, they still need Tehran as a "source of conflict" to help them maintain their presence in the Middle East, and some of the "nuclear"-related handles they have left there are also warning them not to act rashly.
Therefore, the competition in the communications and semiconductor industries has fallen into a strange silence. Unless the sanctions are implemented and the trump card is revealed, no one can predict the final result.
——
On the contrary, the competition in the field of energetic materials has fallen into a "hot war". It can be said that the United States is using all means to build momentum for its chosen research direction. In just over two months, relevant conferences have been held and will be held soon. There are as many as ten summits and seminars on energy materials, and invited researchers are all over the world.
Of course, they were not so petty that they skipped China and refused to invite them. In fact, Nanjing Institute of Technology’s total nitrogen anion salt team also received an invitation letter, inviting them to attend the International Energy Materials, Electricity, and Energy Storage Conference to be held in Los Angeles the following month. Materials session.
However, the scientific research team represented by Hu Bingchun is temporarily undecided about whether to participate.
In the office, Hu Bingchun scratched his head and studied the invitation letter in his hand repeatedly. After a long time, he asked:
"So are they really planning to push all-nitrogen anion salts? This is a good thing for us. However, it always feels unkind to invite us over at this time."
"You said, they won't trick us and then hold us there and not let us come back, right?"
After hearing his words, deputy Liu Zuliang couldn't help laughing and replied:
"That doesn't mean that if they really do such a thing, it means that their academic credibility has basically fallen to the bottom."
"From now on, no country, no institution, no scholar will dare to cooperate with them, nor will they dare to set foot on their soil again."
"The negative impact on them will be huge - the talent base that has been stabilized by the talent introduction plan is expected to completely fall apart."
Hu Bingchun nodded in agreement, clicked his tongue twice and said:
"I actually think so too, they shouldn't be able to do such stupid things."
"But, I haven't really thought about whether I should go or not."
"Logically speaking, we should go. After all, this conference has a very strong lineup. Sherriff from Idaho, Malenkov from Pardubice, and Brooke from the British NCC are all going to participate."
"It can be said that the strongest scientific research forces in the world will gather in Los Angeles. It would be a bit of a loss for us not to communicate with such a good opportunity."
"Moreover, it is said that the technical details of the total nitrogen high-pressure method will be disclosed this time, which is of great reference value for us."
"But when I said I wanted to go, I was hesitant."
"After all, we are now in obviously opposing positions. I'm worried that if we go there, it will be overly interpreted as something bad."
"On the other hand, I really don't want to provide them with any ideas or any help."
"It's really hard to choose."
Liu Zuliang, who was opposite him, also frowned. After thinking for a long time, he spoke:
"Actually, the first question you are worried about is not necessary. Academic matters belong to academics, and political matters belong to politics. As long as we report it to our superiors in advance, they will not be able to get in our way on this kind of thing."
"Especially in the past two years, as the Spark Group has become more and more influential, the academic atmosphere in the country has improved visibly. The previous bureaucratic thinking can be ignored."
"As for the second point of communication, it is originally a mutually beneficial process. It cannot always be that we prostitute them for nothing, or we can always cross the river by touching their heads. To a certain extent, we will always have to shed some blood."
"Compared with these two things, I'm more worried about the other thing."
"What are you worried about? Didn't you say that safety issues don't need to be considered?"
Hu Bingchun asked doubtfully.
"It's not a security issue. What I'm worried about is that they use us to build momentum and seize scientific research resources that don't originally belong to them."
"You also know that our team at Nanjing University of Science and Technology is actually the team with the deepest research and the most achievements in the field of total nitrogen anion salts. If we attend their meeting, it will be an obvious signal to the global scientific research circle. .”
"They can use this to make a fuss, or they can use the tiger's skin as a banner. When the time comes, we will become their stepping stone."
"Well, there is indeed this risk."
Hu Bingchun couldn't help but made a fuss again - unlike many scholars engaged in scientific research, his hair volume was particularly abundant.
But this is not necessarily a good thing. After scratching it a few times, his hair has become a mess and looks quite unkempt.
Unable to make an immediate decision, the two people in the conference room fell silent for a moment.
This was not an easy choice for them.
From a purely scientific research perspective, they all hope to attend this academic conference, which can be called a rare "grand event". After all, there are so many industry leaders gathered there. Maybe a simple collision of ideas can give them Research brings huge help.
But from the perspective of "strategic scientific research", they are not willing to participate, because they all know that this meeting cannot be simple at all.
After five minutes, Liu Zuliang finally raised his head. He looked at Hu Bingchun and asked tentatively:
"Otherwise, call and ask the leader?"
"If they suggest going, then let's go - there's no point in worrying about it ourselves!"
"That makes sense. Fight!"
"But who to call? Directly to Chen Guo?"
Hearing Hu Bingchun's question, Liu Zuliang couldn't help but was stunned.
Logically speaking, the superior of their project team is the Natural Science Foundation of China. If there are any major decisions, the committee should be consulted.
However, in the past two years, the responsibilities of the Natural Science Foundation of China have gradually begun to be merged into Spark management, and their jurisdiction has actually been transferred.
Of course, what has been transferred is the jurisdiction of scientific research itself, and the administrative subordination sequence has not changed.
In other words, scientific research-related matters are managed by Xinghuo, and administrative-related matters are managed by the committee.
So, a question arises here:
Is this matter related to scientific research or administration?
The two looked at each other and didn't bother to discuss it anymore. Since they were not sure, let's fight.
So, Hu Bingchun immediately picked up the phone.
He first called the committee, and the committee's answer was extremely concise:
Find Chen Guo.
So, he quickly called Chen Guo. After explaining the situation, Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was still hesitant:
"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. I may have to organize an internal study to confirm the risks before giving you an answer."
"You can judge for yourself that there will be no safety problems, but there are some situations that you don't understand, and your judgment may not be accurate. In addition,"
“Don’t go there, there’s nothing good to do”
However, before Chen Guo finished speaking, a vague male voice came over the phone, and that male voice obviously interrupted Chen Guo.
Hu Bingchun quickly pricked up his ears. He had already guessed who was speaking.
"Don't go? Why?"
Chen Guo's voice was a little confused.
"There is no need to take risks, even a one in ten thousand risk."
The male voice became clearer and seemed to be closer to the microphone.
"I saw the contents of their invitation. Isn't it the total nitrogen high-pressure method? It's something that has long been outdated."
"Tell Mr. Hu that this kind of meeting should be held at our place."
"They use high-pressure methods, so we will use chemical methods to ensure that they are more attractive than them."
Chengdu.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian curiously and asked:
"Do we really want to have a summit of our own? What do you mean by chemical method? Chemical synthesis of all-nitrogen anion salts?"
"Although I am not in this field, I have read some briefings before. It seems that this direction is still very immature right now?"
Hearing Chen Guo's question, Chen Nian nodded slightly, and then replied:
“Having a summit of your own is only an option, it doesn’t mean that you must have one.”
"But of course, if the decision is made to do it, we can do it."
"In fact, the biggest attraction of this conference on the American side comes from their total nitrogen high-pressure synthesis technology. Almost all the institutions and scholars who were invited and confirmed to participate are going there for this technology."
"But I also said that this technology has long been outdated. In essence, they are still clinging to the high-voltage physics solution that they are good at."
"If we can come up with other plans, we will definitely trample the United States hard."
Having said this, Chen Nian paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Back to your question, the technology for chemical synthesis of total nitrogen anion salts is indeed not yet mature, but"
"Isn't that because I haven't taken action yet?"
Seeing the slightly "smug" smile on Chen Nian's face, Chen Guo couldn't help but feel funny.
"So you've been prepared for a long time?"
"That's not true - it's true this time, but I know it's not that difficult."
In fact, what Chen Nian said was not an exaggeration.
The synthesis technology of total nitrogen anion salts was still one of the most difficult scientific research projects at this time in 2008. However, 15 years later, as the Nanjing University of Technology team used chemical methods to achieve stable synthesis for the first time, scientific research in this field became as difficult as An avalanche begins to slide down rapidly.
After a series of developments, the method of using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid and ferrous glycinate as cutting reagents and auxiliaries respectively, and conducting room temperature and low-pressure extraction through oxidative cleavage has rapidly matured and been perfected.
Although Chen Nian did not seriously understand this field in his previous life, nor did he read relevant papers, but on the premise that the basic principles and key elements are known, combined with the knowledge of materials science he has mastered in this life, Even if no systematic addition is required, he is confident that he will be able to figure out a laboratory preparation method for total nitrogen anion salts within one to two months.
More importantly, for a special product like total nitrogen anion salt, under the premise of using chemical methods, the biggest difficulty is not the cumbersomeness of the experiment or the complexity of the process, but the danger of the experimental process.
Why is the fastest research team in China from Nanjing University of Technology?
It's not because they are born to be explosives people, and they are particularly experienced in handling explosives.
However, this difficulty does not exist for Chen Nian.
He does not need to actually go to the laboratory to verify his conjecture. Instead, he can use the source point consumption instructions provided by the system to eliminate wrong options through a "thought experiment" method.
——
This will not consume him too much time, because the steps are basically determined. All he needs to do is to verify the specific parameters and processes of certain links.
Seeing Chen Nian's confident expression, Chen Guo also felt relieved.
After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"How long do you estimate it will take to complete the first laboratory preparation?"
Chen Nian made an estimate in his mind and answered:
"Three weeks, as long as you allow for extra time."
"Okay, then let's organize a meeting ourselves as you said."
"I will release the news as soon as possible and try to get as many people as possible from the United States."
Chen Nian was not surprised at Chen Guo's decision.
In fact, although he himself said "to hold a summit" was indeed out of anger, from a higher-level perspective, this is indeed a step that must be experienced in the development of China's academic scientific research.
We must continue to publish results, organize exchanges, and use summits and conferences to expand our influence in order to form broader academic exchanges and ultimately build China into the world's center for academic research.
And this time, it's a good opportunity.
The United States has already done the preliminary work. As long as we follow the trend and produce impressive results, we can pick their peaches.
Why not do it?
Thinking of this, Chen Nian nodded solemnly.
After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"It's best not to set just one agenda for the meeting, but also add the agenda of metal hydrogen to care about you."
"At present, the equipment is completely ready. I estimate that in about a month, although the finished product will definitely not be produced, some 'results' should be produced."
"clear."
Chen Guo nodded and wrote down the latest schedule in her notebook.
In one month, the results of two cutting-edge new technologies will be released.
No matter which angle you look at it, this seems incredible.
But Chen Guo knew that nothing was impossible in front of this young man.
