Demon School

Lv Qiujian ’s remarks inadvertently revealed the goals of Xi and the plan. The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory is affiliated with the National Nuclear Security Administration of the Ministry of Energy. His main mission is to ensure the country ’s nuclear weapons by adopting advanced science and technology. In addition to being safe and reliable, it is also responsible for the study of controlled nuclear fusion.

The laboratory is located forty miles east of San Francisco and is managed by the University of California; it has more than 8,000 staff members, including 3,500 scientists, engineers, and technicians, as well as billions of dollars in equipment and Annual funding of US $ 1.6 billion.

There is BlueGene / L, the world's fastest supercomputer, with a peak speed of 360 trillion floating point calculations. It is a super machine jointly produced by Livermore Laboratory, IBM and the National Energy Department of the United States.

The national ignition device is an important result of the laboratory, but the investment of the Mi Guo team in this project is only 3.5 billion US dollars, which is far from comparable to the Xihe plan; the reason why this situation occurs is that Mi Guo feels controllable nuclear The application of fusion is still far away. The second reason is that since 2005, the shale oil and gas production technology of horizontal well drilling + volume fracturing has been broken by the Petroleum Service Company of the United States. Later, the volume of horizontal wells has been increased rapidly, and the output of shale gas has increased rapidly. From 2% of total natural gas extraction in 2000 to today, this proportion has risen to nearly 20%; thanks to this technological achievement, although they still need to import oil from Canada, the United States has begun to gradually get rid of OPEC and The Middle East ’s dependence on oil is less urgent than the need for controlled nuclear fusion.

This scientific and technological achievement of the United States is a good thing and a bad thing for them. The advantage is that they can no longer worry about energy issues in a short period of time. The disadvantage is that shale oil and gas will also be cleaned one day. The mining process will also cause problems such as waste of water resources, water pollution, and minor earthquakes.

Shale oil and gas is still a traditional energy source, and its prospects are far from comparable to controlled nuclear fusion. This is like a country that reduced its investment in aircraft carriers during the Second World War because of the significant improvement in battleship technology. They acquired tactically. Certain advantages of going back, but they have taken the wrong path strategically.

"The three of you go back and prepare the article! If you lose the teacher's face, you will be thrown away!" Lv Qiujian hurriedly diverted the topic to avoid what Professor Zhang guessed.

Ye Chu and others left the office in a smoky way. Preparing to refute Callaway's article, Professor Zhang looked at Lv Qiujian with a smile and shook his head, "You look like this now, but you have become an outrageous school bully!"

The emphasis of the word "student" in Professor Zhang's mouth is on the word "character". A simple translation can be interpreted as academic hegemony. Those who can be called academic hegemony must have a strong influence in a certain field; in the past, the term was often used to criticize those who used their academic influence to suppress young scholars. Authoritative, now Professor Zhang said this with praise. He already recognized Lu Qiujian's status in the fields of mathematics, high-energy physics, dark matter, etc. in these fields. There is no doubt that he is a huge influence, and anyone who wants to provoke him will pay a heavy price.

The next day, when Lu Qiujian had just arrived in Chang'an, the news of this press conference had spread all over the world. The Nature magazine, which thought it was just a trivial trifle, suffered a blow. They did not expect Lu Qiu Jian's counterattack will come so sharp.

Scientists such as Lu Qiujian are striving to please any scientific journal in the relevant field. The high-quality articles they provide are the core of these journals; and Lu Qiujian is not yet 25 years old this year. The output law of a general scientist will be in a stage of vigorous output of academic achievements for a long time to come. Losing him means that Nature will lose top articles in the fields of high-energy physics and dark matter for a long time to come. This result is unbearable for them; however, more serious consequences are yet to come!

"Hello, Dimir, I'm Humphrey!" Just when the editorial department of Nature Magazine began to have a headache for this matter, a certain editor's phone rang.

"Ah, Professor Humphrey, the weather in California has been good recently, and your life in school must be very pleasant!" Professor Humphrey has contributed to "Nature" many times and is an old acquaintance with the editor of Demir. "Are you calling to ask about your latest submission this time? This article has passed peer review. We are planning to find a good position for you in the next issue!" Dimir quickly told him the good news.

"Oh! No!" Professor Humphrey's tone became hurried, "I called this time to remove this article, you must not post my article to the next issue!"

"But why? Did you find the loophole in this article in the later experiments? If so, we can postpone the article and wait for you to readjust it before publishing it!" For authority like him. "Nature" is still very considerate. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com

"Not in the next issue, nor in the next issue! My article has no problems, but I can't give it to you! Dimir, we have been very happy working together in the past, but now, I think we I have to say goodbye! "Professor Humphrey said in a helpless tone.

Dimir stood up with a brush. There was an ominous guess in his mind, "Dear Professor Humphrey, please, for the sake of an old friend, can you tell me what made you decide to give up" Nature "?"

"You know, this article of mine is about dark matter! In addition to showing my results, I also want to let more colleagues see it and discuss my point of view." Humphrey Professor Lai said slowly, "For a scientist, peer discussions can always bring me a lot of inspiration, and I also attach great importance to this. As a top journal in the industry, Nature will make my articles more Many peers have seen it and provided me with valuable advice, which is why I chose you! "

"Yes," Nature "has been committed to promoting the exchange of scientists around the world!" Dimir has guessed the reason for Professor Humphrey's request for withdrawal.

"But, just this morning, I saw that Lu from China announced that he was not commenting on the articles published in Nature! Then the meaning of my contribution was half of it!" His tone was full of helplessness. (To be continued.)
