It wasn't just the physics community that was cheering for the completion of the collider. For the collaborators involved in the construction of the collider, this news also lifted the spirits of many people.
Not just because this was a new miracle in human history, but also another milestone in engineering!
But also because this billion-dollar project had finally been completed.
Whether it was the project leader or the front-line engineers, they could finally sleep in peace.
Beijing.
Huatie Group headquarters.
Director Li from the State Administration for National Defense personally visited and met with Academician Li Qingquan, the chief engineer of the Huatie Group. He expressed his condolences and gratitude to him.
"… The collider was a great success! The Huatie Group has made a great contribution to our country's physics industry! "
"Director Li, you're too kind." Academician Li Qingquan smiled and said, "Without the technology from the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, even if we had the ability to repair the lunar orbit, we wouldn't have had the chance to do so."
In a low-gravity environment, special engineering equipment had to be used. These equipment were jointly developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. They mainly came up with a specific construction plan for the construction environment and engineering equipment.
In the beginning, they encountered a lot of difficulties. For example, they didn't have any experience in outer space construction.
Fortunately, the engineers from the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation helped a lot.
In terms of contribution, it was not certain who had contributed more.
Not to mention, they still had to be polite.
When Academician Li Qingquan was speaking, the corners of his mouth were curled up. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. Even the wrinkles on his face looked ten years younger.
"Academician Li, you're too humble. Regardless of the contributions of other units, the Huatie Group's contributions cannot be overshadowed!" Director Li spoke emotionally. He paused for a second and said, "Speaking of which, the next step is the mass projector, right?"
Academician Li Qingquan nodded and said, "We are discussing this matter with the people from the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. If everything goes well, we can start construction after the end of the year."
Director Li solemnly said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"What hard work? You call this hard work?" Academician Li Qingquan waved his hand and said, "It's Academician Lu. I've been paying attention to the academic world. He hasn't taken a break in the past two years."
"Academician Lu is Academician Lu. Ordinary people can't compare to him. You can't use common sense to think about him." Director Li laughed, but after laughing, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He said, "But you're right. Ever since he returned to China, he hasn't even taken care of his own business. When I go to Shanghai this time, I will also persuade him to take a break for a while. We're already moving fast enough. It's okay to slow down a little. "
From Siberia in the north, to Malacca in the south, and to the east coast of the Black Sea in the west, the power grid that extended from China's territory was like tentacles that were tied to the economies of the signatory countries. There was also the Moon Palace floating in the deep space and the base on the moon's surface. Under the witness of these majestic wonders, China's national strength had never been this strong.
The only regret was that Academician Lu still didn't have a girlfriend.
Academician Li Qingquan said, "He … He doesn't have a girlfriend?"
Director Li: "He's so busy, how could he have a girlfriend?"
Academician Li Qingquan rubbed his chin and hesitated for a second. He then asked, "How about … we introduce him to a few people from the Huatie Corporation?"
"Introduce him to the Huatie Corporation? Director Li smiled and shook his head. There was a hint of helplessness in his smile.
Forget about the railway system.
Whether it was the army or the school, there would be countless opportunities for him to meet someone.
But being friends wasn't like farming. The only thing they could do was introduce someone, it was up to the young man himself. This was just like how the fertility rate and marriage rate couldn't go up. If they didn't want to have kids or get married, they couldn't force them to make babies, right?
"Selfless … Academician Lu is really a role model for us researchers." After a long silence, Academician Li Qingquan sighed with emotion. He couldn't help but say, "If only our young scholars could be like him."
Director Li smiled.
Be like him?
Forget about going to the Moon.
Even Pluto would be on the Moon by now.
…
After leaving the Huatie Corporation, Director Li took a car back to the bureau. After notifying his secretary of the trip to Shanghai, he was about to go to his office to sit for a while.
However, he suddenly received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Old Li, what's going on over there?"
Director Li was confused. He frowned and spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"Aren't you guys in charge of the ILHCRC?"
"Yes …" Director Li realized that there might be a problem with the ILHCRC, so he quickly said, "Nominally, but we don't actually intervene much. Academician Lu is mainly in charge. What happened? Why is the call coming from you? "
"The call came from New York. The Brookhaven National Laboratory protested to us, saying that you didn't fulfill the terms of the agreement regarding the joint discussion of the research project."
Director Li was shocked.
"They didn't even give us a chance to discuss?"
"I don't think so. They did discuss, but in the end, Academician Lu still agreed."
F * ck.
Didn't we discuss it?
Director Li originally thought that Lu Zhou didn't even have a meeting. He didn't expect Lu Zhou to call him over this.
However, the complaints on the other end of the phone didn't stop. Instead, Director Li continued to complain.
"… The Brookhaven National Laboratory isn't the only problem. The European Union has also called to express their concern about this matter. I'm not complaining about Academician Lu's inappropriate handling of the matter, I just hope that he will consider their demands. Otherwise, we will have to pay for it ourselves. "
After listening to the complaints on the phone, Director Li coughed and spoke.
"Okay, okay, I understand the situation. Don't worry, I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow. I'll ask him what's going on."
The other end of the phone finally stopped complaining.
"That's great!"
The phone call ended.
Director Li took a deep breath and shook his head. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and didn't pay too much attention to what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
So what if the Brookhaven National Laboratory is protesting?
It's just a laboratory.
In his opinion, this wasn't a diplomatic issue. The people at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were a bit too nervous.
When he returned to his office, just as he sat down, he saw his secretary anxiously walking over.
"Director Li, something's wrong!"
Director Li frowned and spoke.
"What's making you so anxious?"
"I have a newspaper here, it's from CNN and The New York Times …" The secretary had an awkward look on his face. He hesitated for a while and handed over the newspaper in his hand. "Read it yourself."
Director Li took the newspaper from the secretary's hand and glanced at the headline. When he saw the headline, his eyebrows twitched.
Oh my god.
Was it because the more he worried about something, the more it would happen?
Director Li threw the newspaper on the table, pushed away his office chair, stood up, and spoke.
"Come with me to Shanghai."
The secretary looked at Director Li and paused for a second.
"Now?"
Isn't it tomorrow?
I already bought the ticket …
"Yeah, now. Cancel tomorrow's ticket and fly instead." Director Li looked at the secretary and said in a serious tone, "The schedule is in the afternoon, the sooner, the better!"
