The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Although this project is not considered a secret project, and people in the aerospace system know about it, but the outside world knows it so quickly, it is still somewhat beyond Pang Xuelin's expectations.

Pang Shaoan smiled and said: "You haven't contacted the outside world for a while, so you probably don't understand the situation. A few days ago, the National Space Administration held a press conference and officially announced the approval of the electromagnetic catapult space launch project. Now the outside world has already made a fuss gone."

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback: "When did it happen?"

Pang Shaoan said: "It should have been a few days, you can check it online."

Pang Xuelin quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for the electromagnetic space launch system.

As a result, there were a lot of dense headlines on the Internet in an instant.

There are reports from self-media, marketing accounts, and serious news media.

Xinhua News Agency: "Yesterday afternoon, China National Space Administration and the Office of Manned Spaceflight held a press conference in Beijing to officially announce to the outside world the new-generation manned space launch system project, with Professor Pang Xuelin as the project's chief commander."

Today's headline: "Curved overtaking, electromagnetic space launch system and aerospace aircraft project, academician Pang Xuelin served as the chief commander and chief designer."

World Wide Web: "Many countries miscalculated, China broke the blockade again, and the space launch project is about to usher in a new era."

Tencent News: "China's new generation of manned spaceflight project is established, and it is expected that humans will land on Mars within ten years."

Sina News: "Academician Pang Xuelin will take on the heavy responsibility again, and the electromagnetic space launch system will become the Star Wars program in the new era."

The Paper: "A sci-fi project is about to be established, and the electromagnetic space launch system is expected to replace the rocket-powered space launch system."

...

Of course, after the project was released, the controversy on the Internet was also raging.

The outcry against it was almost as great as the one in support.

"Is it necessary to do such a wasteful project? People in the west are still eating grass."

"Our journey is the sea of ​​stars, support the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and support Professor Pang."

"Why do I feel that this project is so unreliable?"

"Sci-fi science fiction, a combination of science and fantasy, I think this project is good for fantasy, but don't take it seriously."

"NASA believes that the electromagnetic space launch system is unreliable, and China is setting off a smoke screen."

"Do you think the smoke bomb will be brought up in a serious manner at the press conference of the National Space Administration? And ask Academician Pang Xuelin to come and endorse it."

"I think this should be the Chinese version of the Star Wars project to bring down the United States."

"Those who doubt it should think about the Jinlong battery project last year. Were there not many people who were beaten in the face at that time? I always feel that Professor Pang is involved, and this project is not that simple."

...

There are all kinds of voices on the Internet, Pang Xuelin smiled.

Pang Xuelin was not surprised that this project was made public.

In fact, this kind of national super-large project cannot be concealed at all.

Among other things, there are tens of thousands of factories and research institutes participating in the whole country alone, and they can't hide the eyes of those who are interested.

What's more, this is the era of the mobile Internet. Except for highly confidential strategic weapons such as intercontinental missiles, nuclear weapons, and nuclear submarines, there are no secrets at all in other fields, especially the aerospace field.

Therefore, it should not be made public this morning to boost the morale of the people in the country.

After watching the debate on the Internet for a while, Pang Xuelin searched for some opinions from foreign media.

Most of them are bad-mouthing this project. Some people think that this is China's trick for the United States to carry out the Chinese version of Star Wars in the 21st century.

The reaction from the US side is very interesting. On the one hand, many members of the US Congress have declared that they must be wary of China's space ambitions.

On the other hand, NASA experts have expressed their views that China's electromagnetic ejection space launch system is not feasible, and China simply does not have such industrial and technological strength.

Even Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, was involved and was asked by foreign media about his views on this project.

Perhaps because of the relationship between Jinlong Battery, Musk did not say that this project is impossible to realize, but said that he hopes that China and the United States can reach an agreement on lifting the high-tech blockade and licensing the patent of Jinlong Battery as soon as possible.

At the same time, he did not forget to brag about his Falcon rocket, claiming that as long as the United States touches the high-tech blockade against China, SpaceX is willing to enter the Chinese space launch market.

Pang Xuelin watched it for more than half an hour. After thinking about it, he logged into his Weibo account and wrote a paragraph on it: "The Electromagnetic Space Launch System and Aerospace Plane Program is a strategic project promoted by myself. As for Whether it will be successful or not, let us wait and see.”

After sending these, Pang Xuelin put his phone aside.

That night, the family had a happy dinner until nine o'clock in the evening, when parents and grandparents left one after another.

Zuo Yiqiu, Zhou Chen and the others also went back to their rooms. Soon, only Pang Xuelin, Qi Xin, and Yao Bingxia were left in the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little weird.

Qi Xin blinked her black and white eyes, and said, "A Lin, I'm going to take a shower first, I'm exhausted today, go to bed early tonight."

Yao Bingxia's pretty face flushed slightly, and she also stood up and said, "Brother Xiao Lin, I'm going back to sleep first."

Pang Xuelin was a little helpless. The two monks had no water to drink. He didn't expect the good thing from last time to happen again.

He was about to speak when the phone rang suddenly and the caller ID was Tomoko.

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, and pressed the answer button.

Tomoko's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Honey, happy birthday!"

During this period, Sophon went to the United States to participate in the negotiations on the patent issue of Jinlong batteries between China and the United States. Therefore, she did not come for Pang Xuelin's birthday this time.

Pang Xuelin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Tomoko, if you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Sophon seldom took the initiative to call herself. If she missed herself on weekdays, she would usually touch Pang Xuelin in the middle of the night when Pang Xuelin was free, and rarely got bored with Pang Xuelin.

Sophon on the other end of the phone said angrily, "Can't I call to bless you?"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "I'll take the blessing, let's talk about it."

"Boring!"

Tomoko said: "We have almost talked with the Americans. The Golden Dragon Group will form a joint venture company in the United States with companies such as AES Global Power Company, Mobil Oil, Standard Oil, and DuPont Chemical to produce Golden Dragon batteries. Every year, the company will send Transwarp Technology pays 10 billion RMB in patent fees, and taking inflation into account, the patent fees will increase by 5% per year on average for 20 years. I would like to ask how you plan to use this money?"

Pang Xuelin was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Can Lao Mei agree to this condition?"

Although there is only 10 billion RMB a year, with the collapse of the Bretton Woods system and the decoupling of the petrodollar, the value of the RMB will rise sharply in the future, plus the annual increase of 5%, even if Pang Xuelin's future If you do nothing and just lie down and collect money, you will surely reach the top of the world's richest man within ten years.

Sophon said with a smile: "If they don't agree, it's okay. Europe, Japan and South Korea have already reached an agreement with us. Only the four countries of the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are still holding on. The United States can't bear it at all. Anyway, for the consortium, it can make money. That's fine, we have left half of the shares for them anyway."

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment, then said: "Have you given all the money from the West Lake Education Foundation and Jiangcheng University?"

Tomoko said: "It's already been given. Our company has a lot of cash flow now. I'm wondering whether to invest in some new projects."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "I don't understand the investment. You are fully responsible. Just don't lose everything to me when the time comes. Besides, don't cut off the funds for Qiantang Lab."

"That's good, honey, then I won't take the initiative to inform you of what I'm going to invest in next!"

Sophon seemed to be waiting for Pang Xuelin's words, and said with a smile.

Pang Xuelin was taken aback for a moment, faintly feeling that Sophon seemed to be holding back some big moves.

But soon, he shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's up to you."

Tomoko smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you today, my dear, I will squeeze you dry when I return home!"

Saying that, Tomoko hung up the phone with some joy.

Pang Xuelin smiled and shook his head, a little helpless.

Afterwards, he got up and returned to the bedroom, took a shower first, and then walked to the bed.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback, because there were two beautiful bodies on the bed.

Yao Bingxia grabbed the quilt, only showing half of her head, looked at Pang Xuelin with a blushing pretty face, and said, "Bad guy, I've got you off tonight."

How could Pang Xuelin resist such a temptation, he lifted the quilt and got in directly.

...

The next day, Pang Xuelin came to Qiantang Laboratory, and when he saw Cao Yuan's team rushing over, he looked refreshed.

Cao Yuan was a little surprised and said: "Professor Pang, why did you rest so well? Yesterday I saw that you had retreated for so long, and your complexion was a little bad. I thought you didn't have to come here today. We can just connect with Academician Xu."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "That's what I am. As long as I don't go crazy and do research, I can sleep for a night."

Dong Chenglin on the side shook his fat, and sighed: "It's better to be young. At my age, I don't have the stamina to explode my liver."

Pang Xuelin smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you around the Qiantang Laboratory first."

Qiantang Laboratory covers a large area, and the living area, office area, and experimental area are planned in an orderly manner. There are also four tram lines planned inside to facilitate the travel of the laboratory staff.

Especially the living area, supermarkets, shopping malls, cinemas, hotels, etc. are all available.

Cao Yuan and the others don’t need to stay in a hotel. In the living area, there is a scholar’s ​​apartment for short-term study or scientific research cooperation. They are all one-bedroom and one-living room. The decoration is exquisite, which is just right for Cao Yuan and the others to stay.

After arranging the lives of Cao Yuan and the others, Pang Xuelin took them to the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center and met Professor Li Changqing who was busy.

At present, Li Changqing and Wan Yi are mainly in charge of the entire carbon nanomaterials research center, and they serve as the director and deputy director respectively.

"Professor Li, let me introduce you. This is Professor Cao Yuan from the University of Science and Technology of China, this is Professor Dong Chenglin, and this is Associate Professor Zhou Tong..."

Pang Xuelin introduced Cao Yuan and the others to Li Changqing one by one.

Li Changqing shook hands with Cao Yuan and the others one by one, and said with a smile: "Welcome colleagues from HKUST to come to our Qiantang Laboratory for cooperation and exchanges. Come, let's go to the conference room first, everyone is waiting in the conference room."

After confirming that the target of searching for superconductors was multi-walled carbon nanotubes yesterday, Pang Xuelin called Li Changqing and informed him to prepare for the screening and cooperation with the USTC team to find a new generation of superconducting materials.

Currently, there are four project teams in the Carbon Nano Research Center of Qiantang Laboratory.

The flying edge material project team focuses on the production of large-scale single-walled carbon nanotubes.

The carbon nanotube CMOS project team focuses on the research and development of carbon-based chips. It is said that it is progressing smoothly. The first carbon-based chip with real practical value should be born within this year.

In addition, there are graphene semi-permeable membrane material groups and graphene supercapacitor project groups serving Jinlong batteries.

In the entire Qiantang Laboratory Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center, there are three academicians, more than 50 professors and associate professors, and more than 100 doctors or postdoctoral researchers. It can be called the world's top carbon nanomaterials research institution.

At this time, a team of more than 20 people gathered in the conference room. Except for Cao Yuan's team from the University of Science and Technology of China, the rest were all temporarily summoned by Li Changqing, and some of them were previously involved in the preparation of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes. Researchers, and some are newcomers who have just joined Qiantang Lab.

All eyes were on Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin sat at the top of the meeting room, looked around, and said with a smile: "Hi everyone, in today's meeting, we will discuss the search for new superconducting materials. Let's take a look first."

After speaking, Pang Xuelin gestured to Zuo Yiqiu who was beside him, and soon Zuo Yiqiu handed out the papers and mathematical models on the mechanism of the new superconducting theory compiled by Pang Xuelin to everyone present.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and there was the sound of pages turning from time to time, even Cao Yuan and the others were no exception.

Although they probably heard Pang Xuelin explain the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity yesterday, they still have a long way to go before they can fully understand it.

Therefore, if you can read it several times, then try to read it as many times as possible.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before I knew it, half an hour passed.

Pang Xuelin clapped his hands, and everyone in the conference room raised their heads and looked at Pang Xuelin in shock.

Whether you fully understand it or not, Pang Xuelin's new theory about the superconducting mechanism and the mathematical model of superconducting proposed in this paper are enough to amaze everyone.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "I will upload this paper to arXiv later for discussion by physicists all over the world. But the main task of our conference today is not to discuss whether this theory is correct or not, but to discuss whether this theory is correct or not. Find a whole new material."
