After a week of "friendly negotiations", the first International Lunar Hadron Collider Conference finally ushered in the final closing ceremony.
Regardless of whether the results of the conference were satisfactory to everyone, the countries that gathered together finally came up with a plan that was acceptable to most people.
At least, to a certain extent …
At the closing ceremony of the conference.
In front of the cameras of major media outlets around the world, the director of the China National Space Administration shook hands with NASA Director Carson and spoke with a smile.
"I'm glad to have reached an agreement with you."
"Yeah, me too, I'm glad …"
Director Carson shook hands with the China National Space Administration director and forced a smile on his face. However, his smile didn't make people feel happy.
There was a warm round of applause.
The camera on the side recorded this epochal moment.
Lu Zhou stood on the edge of the venue and looked at Director Carson. He didn't know why, but he felt a little bad for him.
"Director Carson doesn't seem very happy?"
Director Li, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, laughed. He said with a slightly beaming expression, "Just now, we were forced to spend a lot of money in the budget committee negotiations, I think no one would be happy."
Lu Zhou looked at Director Li and said, "Actually, I'm curious, what did you ask for?"
Over the past seven days, Lu Zhou was mainly responsible for technical discussions.
Or rather, he was responsible for ensuring that the initial design plan wouldn't be disturbed by the suggestions from the partners and that it would be implemented smoothly before the end of the month.
As for the official negotiations, which involved the distribution of benefits, he didn't pay much attention to it. Therefore, he was inevitably curious.
When Director Li heard Lu Zhou's question, he smiled and said, "It's not that we made any requests, we rejected most of their requests."
Lu Zhou had a look of surprise on his face.
"They agreed?"
"Sort of. Whether they agree or not, we have the upper hand this time. The next conference is in a year, I hope we can still have the upper hand then. "Director Li smiled and looked at Lu Zhou. He patted his arm and said," Diplomatic negotiations are just a matter of words, but the key is the strength of the two sides. Otherwise, if the other side doesn't want to talk to you, there's nothing you can do. This is all we can do to maintain our current advantage, we still have to rely on you guys. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "That's the only thing you don't have to worry about."
Director Li nodded solemnly and said, "I'm glad to hear that!"
After the International Lunar Hadron Collider conference ended, the specific construction plan was quickly put on the agenda. The first batch of experimental orbital components had been transported to the Jinling launch site. They were waiting for Skyglow to send them to high orbit, then the Magpie Bridge would transport them to lunar orbit.
Other than that, the engineering team responsible for the construction would also take a spacecraft to the Moon Palace space station before the end of the month. They would begin the construction of the century project according to the established construction plan.
On the other hand, the Lunar Hadron Collider research center also landed in Shanghai.
After hearing this news, Lu Zhou felt emotional.
In fact, he used to think that the headquarters of the International Lunar Hadron Collider would most likely be in Beijing. However, it seemed like Chen Yushan was better at politics than him.
Just like Chen Yushan said when she visited him a few days ago, whether it was intentional or not, the Communist Party of China was indeed promoting the construction of the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area.
The ILHCRC headquarters landing in Shanghai was a clear signal.
The future of Beijing would be the center of China, and the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area would become the political, economic, cultural, and scientific research center for the entire Asian region and even the world …
A grand blueprint appeared in Lu Zhou's mind.
If her conjecture was correct, perhaps he really should pay more attention to that proposal …
…
On the second day of the International Lunar Hadron Collider conference, there was an endless stream of taxis lining up at the entrance of the Beijing National Hotel.
After the end of the conference, it was time for scholars and high-level officials from all over the world to return to their respective countries after staying in China for a week.
Academician Zhang Wenlong, chairman of the French Society of Physics, was standing at the entrance of the hotel. He spoke emotionally to Academician Yang Xianzhi, the president of the Beijing Institute of Technology.
"I remember the first time I went to CERN, I went with my supervisor. It was the first time I saw those big names in physics that I had only seen in books and papers. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep the whole night. "
"The next day, when I went to the lecture hall for a meeting, my mentor told me that our country could be like this in the future. At that time, I didn't believe it. Now, it seems that my mentor had foresight. I didn't expect that I would live to see this day in my lifetime."
Academician Yang, who was standing next to Academician Zhang, was also emotional. He said, "Indeed, half of the big names in the physics world came to Beijing. It's really exciting! Oh yeah, speaking of which, where is Academician Lu? I've been waiting here for a long time, why haven't I seen him? "
"You mean Academician Lu?" Academician Zhang smiled and said, "Then you're late by a day. I think he packed his luggage and left after the closing ceremony yesterday morning! I bumped into him on the elevator and greeted him. He said he had to go back to Jinling for something urgent. "
When Academician Yang heard Academician Zhang's words, he paused for a second and said with some regret, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I was planning on inviting him to visit the Institute of Technology. "
Academician Zhang smiled and said, "Haha, then you should tell him as soon as possible. Academician Lu is a busy person. I heard that Wang Shicheng from Yan University talked to him for a few years, but Wang Shicheng only went once. Also, it seems like Wang Shicheng took away some of his talents. "
Academician Yang asked, "Really? Then, that Old Wang … Lost all his face. "
Academician Zhang sighed and said, "Yeah, that's right!"
While the two of them were talking, a loud cough suddenly came from the side.
Academician Zhang Wenlong, who was gossiping, turned around and saw Academician Wang Shicheng standing there with a blank expression on his face.
Academician Zhang Wenlong remembered that he just said bad things about Wang Shicheng, so he had an awkward expression on his face. He quickly laughed and spoke.
"Academician Wang? Nice to meet you, why are you here? "
"… Academician Zhang, of course I'm here for a conference, so of course I live here."
With a fake smile on his face, Wang Shicheng barely maintained his composure and changed the topic. He then started to talk about other things with the two of them.
However, no matter how he tried to change the topic, he could tell that the two old academicians had a subtle unnatural expression on their faces.
It was like …
It was like they were sympathizing with him or pitying him.
When Wang Shicheng thought about this, his heart was filled with anger.
Right now, the entire academic community was talking about how Lu Zhou poached a professor from his International Mathematics Research Center. Not only that, but Lu Zhou did it right in front of his face.
Wang Shicheng clenched his fists and his nails pierced into his palms. He wanted to skin Lu Zhou and that traitor alive.
MMP！
I'm so pissed!
The most annoying thing is that I can't do anything about that guy. I have to smile when I see him …
I hate this guy!
