Chen Nian knew that after Sebastian saw the report sent to him by Eichendorff, he would definitely come over and take a look in person.
The reason is of course not only because of the novelty and precision of this report, but more importantly, it hides the most critical part of the data.
Without this part of data, the entire logic cannot be established, and sophisticated reasoning and argumentation cannot be closed.
No scholar can withstand such temptation - or provocation.
It's like placing a lottery ticket that is about to win in front of a poor ordinary person, and then telling him that he can only get the last number by coming in person.
Research based on CFETR is a treasure that should never exist in this world. When its light begins to shine in this world, who can resist the temptation to open the treasure box?
Therefore, although these 50 source points cost a lot of money, it is really worth it.
You must know that the system does not have the function of directly analyzing theories. In order to obtain the data he wanted, Chen Nian had to continue to reason based on the remaining memories of his previous life, and designed a set of plasma control methods that did not originally exist in this world. experimental device.
This almost drained him of all the knowledge he had in the field of plasma control, and he also spent several days with the relevant professional team.
However, all the efforts were not in vain.
Sebastian finally accepted EAST's invitation and confirmed that he would arrive in China in two weeks.
He did not completely give up his work at the Max Planck Laboratory, but applied to the Chinese official to organize the project on a "part-time" basis.
After discussion, the EAST team agreed to his plan.
After all, there is still a long way to go from the theory of plasma control to actual operation, which will not affect China's exclusivity and superiority in nuclear fusion application technology.
Thus, Sebastian's "introduction" plan was finalized.
Having solved a big talent problem, Chen Nian also relaxed.
In the next time, what he needs to do is to organize a "teaching team" as soon as possible according to the previous discussion with Chen Guo, and use the existing conditions to complete the running-in first.
In the office, Chen Nian opened the personnel list that Chen Guo had just given to him. While flipping through it, he asked:
“Do I have decision-making authority over this list?”
"Or in other words, if I want to replace someone on the list, what should I do?"
After hearing his words, Chen Guo replied:
"Just mark it on the personnel list."
"What you are asking is to choose your own people, and this list is just a reference."
"However, to be honest, all the people on the list have been repeatedly screened and optimized."
"Whether it is academic level, moral level or future potential, it has reached a relatively perfect balance."
"How should I put it? For example, of course we hope to find industry leaders with high academic standards as setters as much as possible, but the problem is that these people are generally older, even if they can still continue to learn , but in terms of long-term output, we will face problems."
"To put it bluntly, your working style does not require too much input and interaction, so making appropriate compromises is the best choice."
Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded slightly.
The superiors' considerations are extremely practical and far-sighted.
They fully understand their "how to use" it.
Yes, Chen Nian does need a huge amount of information and knowledge input, but once the basic information reaches the standard, his output no longer requires more complicated cooperation.
Therefore, the two links of "education" and "education" are completely separated, and the personnel allocation can naturally be completely separated.
"These lists are not directly selected from the National Youth and Yangtze River Scholars lists, are they? Are they all so young?"
Chen Nian asked doubtfully.
The fact is exactly what he said. There are very few people over 40 years old in the entire list, and it can be seen that seniors with high academic standards were specially selected to control the situation.
“There is overlap, but it is not a sufficient condition.”
"It is common for those who can be selected to win awards. It is certainly not unusual to be selected as a National Youth and Yangtze Scholar."
"In addition, coupled with our control conditions for age, the degree of overlap in this aspect appears to be relatively high."
"Understood."
After a moment of pause, Chen Nian continued to ask:
"The proportion of people with overseas education background is a bit too high. Can some of them be eliminated?"
"Yes, but if you are worried about confidentiality, you can actually let it go."
"In the area of plasma, our previous scientific research level was relatively backward. Only talented people like them who have returned from overseas can absorb the latest technologies and theories."
"We have conducted multiple rounds of review and screening of these personnel, and the probability of problems is very low."
"In addition, as supporting evidence, one fact is very clear."
"That is, since these people have chosen to come back, they have proven their reliability."
"There is a saying that there is no secret in nuclear fusion. Every progress it makes will be observed under a microscope."
"It is basically impossible to hinder our progress through 'technical espionage'"
Chen Guo didn't say it clearly, but Chen Nian already understood what he meant.
Yes, since there is no way to impact China's nuclear fusion scientific research process through espionage, the best strategy for the United States is to organize as many of these scholars as possible to return home.
Being able to choose to come back shows that their hearts are indeed here.
After sorting out the basic questions, Chen Nian began to carefully read the technical backgrounds of these candidates.
Compared with the strict official review in the early stage, his judgment method is relatively simple, that is, he only looks at whether the direction is forward-looking.
After a round of screening, only a few people were eliminated from his hands. From the original list of 17 people, 13 people were finally left.
"Okay, that's it for these people."
Chen Nian handed the checked list to Chen Guo. The latter took it and glanced at it roughly before replying:
"Then it's settled."
"These personnel need a certain amount of time to prepare before they can be in place. Once in place, they will communicate with you in a completely closed manner."
"This can be a long process and you're all going to be tested."
"If you want to cancel the plan midway, you can always do so."
Hearing this, Chen Nian shook his head solemnly.
He replied:
"This plan will not be canceled - it may be suspended at some point, but it must not be cancelled."
A few days later, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Pan Qingwei was standing on the podium, holding a marker pen in one hand and a veteran cadre teacup in the other, explaining the course content to the students in the audience.
".So based on the previous experimental data, we can know that the key to variation lies in the nature of the collision operator. What we are concerned about is the system in which the temperatures of each component are unequal. From the perspective of calculating the transport coefficient, it is natural to assume that each component The elements are respectively close to thermal equilibrium."
This class is about the neoclassical transport theory of multi-component plasma, which involves a lot of complex operations and assumptions. Not to mention students who have just come into contact with this field, even he himself sometimes keeps talking while talking. Everyone will feel sleepy.
Coupled with the unbearably hot weather, the atmosphere in the classroom was not very good.
I couldn't find 5 students in the audience who really listened attentively to the lecture. Most of them were either distracted or in a daze. The better ones would try to take notes, but after realizing that they were really powerless, they had no choice but to put down their notes. Pen.
Seeing this scene, Pan Qingwei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
What can be done?
Scientific research is inherently a long and difficult road. Most of the students sitting in this classroom came here because of some kind of romantic fantasy.
Before making a choice, they cannot truly understand the meaning of this choice, and they cannot know what it means to them once they embark on this path.
Is this sad, or despicable?
not at all.
On the contrary, such a young man's spirit is respectable, but in many cases, young men often fail to find the sword of their own.
Pan Qingwei took a sip of the tea in his cup and scanned the audience. After seeing that the most diligent students began to doze off, he simply put down the marker in his hand, and then said:
"The content of today's class is indeed a bit too difficult. It's not the right way for us to continue teaching it like this."
"So, I'm thinking about rearranging the lecture content. Let's stop here for today."
"Everyone should go back and have a good rest, and also think more about the courseware."
"Let's try to make sure that in the next class, at least everyone of us can understand what the words written in the book mean, okay?"
After hearing his words, the students in the audience responded.
Of course, those who can enter this university are all arrogant, but to put it bluntly, arrogance cannot be eaten, let alone exchanged for any amazing understanding.
All they can do is comply with the teacher's schedule and adjust their status as much as possible.
The class ended and the students left one after another. After Pan Qingwei packed up the podium and his materials, he turned and walked out the door.
But just when he reached the door, a man blocked him.
"Professor Pan, can we have a chat?"
Pan Qingwei saw the certificate in the man's hand at a glance, and this certificate came from an organization that had been circulated among top scholars for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to see its true appearance.
Spark Team.
His eyes immediately lit up, and after checking the authenticity of the ID, he quickly let the man and other security personnel behind him into the classroom.
"Just chat here?"
Pan Qingwei asked impatiently.
"Yes, just stay here."
The man nodded and then continued:
"Professor Pan, I think you also know our identities very well and know something about the organization we belong to."
"Then, we don't need to explain the background any more - let's just get to the point."
“We have a project we’d like to invite you to participate in.”
"This project will operate in a fully closed form. The closed period has not yet been determined, but for you, it will not exceed three years at most."
"It's not convenient for me to reveal the specific content of the project to you here, nor to talk to you about it."
"What we can tell you is that it is a key scientific research project."
"Here, we need to ask for your opinion first. Are you willing to participate in such a project?"
Hearing the man's words, Pan Qingwei shook his head subconsciously, then he immediately reacted and said:
"I shake my head not because I am unwilling, but what I mean is that the information you provided is really too broad and I cannot make a decision based on it."
"At least I have to know what responsibilities and content I will be responsible for in this project, right?"
"certainly."
The man nodded and replied:
"What you will be responsible for is the implementation of theory to application."
This sentence is still extremely short, but for Pan Qingwei, the amount of information is completely enough.
Combining your own research direction from theory to implementation, there is no doubt that it must be the core part of the EAST project.
In fact, he himself participated in the theoretical preparation of the EAST project, and he has always wanted to follow up, but there was no suitable opportunity.
But now, the opportunity was right in front of him.
Can you refuse?
Obviously impossible.
Almost without hesitation, Pan Qingwei answered:
“I would like to participate in the project!”
A few days later, Pan Qingwei boarded a plane bound for his destination.
He was surprised to find that he was not the only person sitting on this special plane.
There are 4 people in total, all of whom are experts in plasma control.
This made him firmer in his judgment, but the only thing that confused him was:
Why fly?
Does the EAST project have independent research institutes in other cities? In other words, the technical center of Spark Team is not in Hefei?
He tried to communicate with his other companions to get more information, but after a discussion, no one could make a convincing judgment.
It wasn't until the plane landed and walked out of the cabin that Pan Qingwei suddenly came back to his senses.
He recognized the place.
Chengdu, the land of abundance.
"What are we doing here?"
he asked as if talking to himself.
However, no one answered.
After getting off the plane, everyone transferred to a special car and continued their journey. After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at their destination.
But this so-called destination surprised Pan Qingwei.
Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute.
what the hell?
Why was he, a plasma user, thrown into the air?
At this time, he was already full of questions, but fortunately, his questions were answered.
In an office of Chengfei, he saw a young face.
The owner of that face looked at the people arriving with a smile and said:
"Welcome, I am Chen Nian."
"As you know, this is where the mission you have been assigned will take place."
"You are probably confused and don't know what you are going to do."
"Actually, this task is very simple."
"Here, you will be exposed to the world's most advanced cutting-edge technology related to plasma control in the coming period."
"You have to learn it, understand it, and ultimately use it in the EAST project."
"Is this process easy to understand?"
"If the Spark Team is a match, then you will become the tinder that lights the bonfire?"
