Chapter 1135 Protest at Brookhaven National Laboratory

It is not just the physics community that is cheering because of the completion of the collider. For the cooperative units involved in the construction of the collider, the arrival of this news has also boosted the emotions of many people.

And not just because it's a new wonder in human history, another monument to engineering!

It is because this large project with an investment of tens of billions has finally landed.

Whether it is the project leader or the front-line engineers, they can finally sleep peacefully.

Go to Beijing.

Huatie Group Headquarters.

Director Li of the Bureau of Science and Industry visited here in person, met academician Li Qingquan, chief engineer of Huatie Group, and expressed condolences and thanks to him from the country.

"...The operation of the collider is very successful! You Huatie Group has made a great contribution to our country's physics cause!"

"Director Li is serious," Academician Li Qingquan said with a smile, "The credit is not just ours. Without the technology from Aerospace Science and Technology Group and Jinling Advanced Research Institute, even if we have the ability to repair the orbit on the moon, we can't do it." No chance to show your fists."

Construction in a low-gravity environment requires the use of special engineering equipment. These equipment are jointly developed by the Aerospace Science and Technology Group and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, and they mainly propose specific construction plans for the construction environment and engineering equipment. to implement.

They also encountered many difficulties at the beginning, such as no experience in construction in outer space and so on.

But fortunately, the engineers from Hangke Aerospace Group were of great help.

If you want to say the credit, it is not necessarily who has the greater credit.

What's more, of course, you still have to be polite.

When he said those words, the corners of Academician Li Qingquan's mouth were curled up. It could be seen that he was in a very happy mood. Even with the furrowed wrinkles on his face, he looked ten years younger.

"Academician Li is too modest. Regardless of the contributions of other units, the contribution of your Huatie Group cannot be concealed!" Director Li said with emotion, and after a pause, he continued, "Speaking of it, the next step is quality. Is it a projector?"

Academician Li Qingquan nodded and said with a smile: "We are discussing this matter with the people from the Air Science Group. If there is no accident, we can start construction as soon as the year ends this year."

Director Li said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's the hard work? This is also called hard work?" Academician Li Qingquan waved his hand, "If it's really hard, it has to be on Academician Lu's side. I've been paying attention to things in the academic world. In the past two years, he doesn't seem to be serious. Take a break in a sense."

"Academician Lu is Academician Lu, ordinary people can't compare with him, you can't use common sense to consider him," Director Li laughed, and after the ridiculousness passed, he couldn't help sighing softly, "But you That's right, not to mention the past two years, he hasn't rested since he returned to China, and he can't even take care of his own important affairs. This time I go to Shanghai, and I will also persuade him to rest for a while. .We've gone fast enough, it's okay to go slower."

From Siberia in the north, to Malacca in the south, and to the east coast of the Black Sea in the west, the power grids spreading from the territory of Huaguo are like tentacles, which have been tied to the economies of the signatories. There is also the moon palace floating in the deep space and the base on the moon. Under the witness of these majestic wonders, Huaguo's national power has never been so strong.

If there is only one regret, it is that Academician Lu still doesn't have a date.

Academician Li Qingquan said in surprise: "He...he still hasn't dated yet?"

Director Li: "I'm so busy with him, how can I have someone else?"

Touching his chin and pondering for a while, Academician Li Qingquan hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "How about... Shall we introduce him from Huatie Group?"

"Introduced from your Huatie Group? If it is useful, I will wait for your side." Director Li smiled and shook his head, and there was a little helplessness in that smile.

Not to mention the railway system.

Whether it's the army or the school, there are so many opportunities for arrangements.

But talking about friends is not farming. All they can do is introduce them. Whether they can succeed or not depends on how young people decide. This stuff is just like the fertility rate and marriage rate have been unable to increase. They don't want to have children or get married, so they can't be forced to create humans, right?

"Forgetting to sleep and eat, being selfless... Academician Lu is really a role model for us and other researchers," Academician Li Qingquan sighed after being silent for a long time, and couldn't help but said, "If our young scholars can be like him Just the same."

Director Li smiled.

All like him?

Let alone going to the moon.

I'm afraid that even Pluto has gone up now.

...

After leaving the Huatie Group, Director Li returned to the bureau by car. After notifying the secretary of the itinerary to Shanghai, he was about to sit in the office for a while.

However, at this moment, he suddenly received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Old Li, what's the situation over there?"

Confused by this question, Director Li frowned and asked.

"What's the situation?"

"Isn't IMCRC your responsibility?"

"Yes..." Halfway through the speech, realizing that there might be something wrong with the IMCRC, Director Li quickly said, "It is true in name, but actually not many of us intervene, and Academician Lu is mainly responsible. In the end What happened? Why did the call come from you?"

"The call was from New York, and Brookhaven National Laboratory protested to us, saying that you have not fulfilled the terms of the agreement about jointly negotiating research projects."

Hearing this, Director Li was shocked.

"Not even given a chance to discuss?"

"...It doesn't seem to be the case. The discussion was still discussed, but in the end Academician Lu came according to his own opinion."

sweat.

Isn't this a negotiation?

Director Li originally thought that Lu Zhou didn't even hold a meeting, and directly bypassed the board of directors to make a speech, but he didn't expect to call himself on such a trivial matter.

However, the complaints on the other end of the phone did not stop, but continued on and on.

"...The current problem is not limited to Brookhaven National Laboratory. The European Union has also called and expressed concern about this matter. I am not complaining about the inappropriate handling of Academician Lu, but I just hope that he will see it in other people's eyes. For the sake of paying the money, we will also consider their demands, or we will have to pay for the funds ourselves in the future."

After listening to the complaints on the phone, Director Li coughed lightly and spoke softly.

"Okay, okay, I understand the situation, don't worry about it, I happen to be going to Shanghai tomorrow, and then I will ask him in person what's going on."

The other end of the phone finally stopped being irritable.

"So the best!"

The phone hangs up.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Director Li shook his head and stuffed the phone into his pocket, and he didn't take the matters mentioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs too seriously.

What is the protest at Brookhaven National Laboratory?

It's just a laboratory.

At least in his opinion, this did not rise to the level of a diplomatic issue, and the people in the diplomatic department were a little too nervous.

Back in the office, just as he sat down, he saw his secretary walking over anxiously.

"Director Li, something has happened!"

Director Li frowned and asked.

"What's making you anxious."

"I have a newspaper here, which is cut from the headlines of CNN and the New York Times..." The secretary had an unspeakable embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a while and still didn't speak, and handed out the newspaper in his hand, "You , or see for yourself."

Taking the newspaper from the secretary's hand, he glanced at the news that had been reduced. When he saw the headline, Director Li frowned.

Good guy.

Is this the more he worries about something, the more he comes?

After reading some unusual information, Director Li threw the newspaper on the table, pushed away the office chair and stood up, speaking vigorously.

"Come with me to Shanghai."

Seeing Director Li's actions, the secretary froze for a moment.

"Now?"

Isn't it tomorrow?

Tickets are all bought...

"Well, right now, tomorrow's ticket has been refunded, and I'll take the plane instead." Looking at the secretary, Director Li continued in a serious tone, "The schedule is scheduled for the afternoon, the sooner the departure, the better!"
