Chapter 714 Academician Primary Selection (Happy New Year~~~)

The project of the entire tinder plan is divided into three phases.

The first phase of the project is the foundation part, and the ground in the closed area will be isolated with welded stainless steel. The second phase of the project is mainly for the construction of the support part. Tensile and compressive steel materials will be used to prop up a six-grid steel skeleton for the entire hemispherical artificial biosphere. As for the third phase of the project, double-layer special glass is installed on the support, and special paint is applied on the outer layer to cooperate with the cooling tower to balance the temperature in the biosphere.

In the future, for the Martian environment and other special outer space environments, biosphere b, c, d and other series will be developed to develop life support devices for colonists to live in specific planetary environments.

Since any slight disturbance may lead to unpredictable results in the experiment, this biosphere must be built in a restricted area of ​​life far away from living things, and the interference from the outside world must be excluded as much as possible.

Fortunately, Huaguo has a vast land and abundant resources, so it is easy to find such a place.

There is nothing more suitable as the address of this artificial biosphere than the desert in the center of the basin.

It took Lu Zhou three days to investigate the nearby geological environment. During the period, he referred to the suggestions of Professor Hu and another geologist. Finally, Lu Zhou made a decision and chose the location of the "Tinder" project biosphere a in a Near the road, near the sand dunes with sparse vegetation.

The total investment of the entire project is as high as 1.5 billion RMB, of which 1.3 billion is supported by 41 national vertical project funds, and the remaining 200 million is provided by Xingkong Technology. Compared with the entire moon landing project, this funding only accounts for a small part, but its significance is extremely important.

After dealing with the specific work items of the "Tinder" project, Lu Zhou, who still had things to deal with when he returned to Jinling, did not stay in the desert for too long, and left the camp in the jeep he had come the next day. After returning to Wushi, I took the train and returned to Jinling.

It was a coincidence that almost as soon as he got off the bus from Jinling, Lu Zhou received emails from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, and Jinda University, and learned that his name appeared on the primary list of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering respectively. .

Looking at these three emails, Lu Zhou was a little dumbfounded for a while.

In his original thinking, an academician of the Academy of Sciences is stable. After all, he has always positioned himself as a mathematician, but he did not expect that the old professors of the Academy of Engineering would also recommend his name.

According to the academician selection process, only after the list is recommended, the standing committees of each academic department will organize academicians to review and elect the candidates.

The review must adhere to the standards, follow the principles of fairness and objectivity, and conduct a comprehensive and scientific evaluation of the candidates.

There are no major violations of laws and disciplines, academic misconduct, or style problems, and basically there will be no problems in the review process. After the review, there will be a secret ballot. As long as the candidates who get no less than two-thirds of the votes in favor, they can be elected according to the number of votes that the department should be eligible for, until the number of votes is full.

The election results are checked and confirmed by the standing committees of each academic department, which is the so-called review. After deliberation and approval by the Standing Leading Body of the Academician Assembly, it will be notified in writing to all academicians.

Jin Da has not been an academician for many years, and several of the treasures of the town hall of the Academy of Fine Arts are already in their seventies and eighties. This time Lu Zhou's name entered the primary election of the academicians of the two academies, which is undoubtedly something worth celebrating for Jin Da.

However, although it is indeed worthy of congratulations, Lu Zhou himself did not pay too much attention to the selection of academicians. Several old academicians from Huanan edited an email and sent it to express their gratitude.

There is no need to guess, it must be these people who recommended themselves to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although I don't really care about the selection results, I still have to thank the recommenders, which is both polite and human.

After finishing these things, Lu Zhou turned his attention to the space shuttle.

Although the launch of Xiangrui was successful, there are still many areas for improvement.

The next launch mission is planned to be just before the Spring Festival, and the time left for him is very tight, and there is no extra time to waste.

However, although Lu Zhou was very free and easy to put the matter of academician co-option in general, many people were entangled for a while because of his name.

When Lu Zhou returned to Jinling and held a meeting with the designers of the Xiangrui, Academician Wang Shicheng, director of the Department of Mathematical Physics, who was in charge of the recent selection of academicians, came to the office of the Work Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He stopped the pen in his hand, and Director Qian, who was sitting behind the desk, asked the secretary to pour a cup of tea for Academician Wang, and said with a smile.

"Why are you suddenly free to come to my place today?"

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Wang Shicheng sighed and said.

"What else could it be for?"

"Let me guess," Director Qian asked with a smile, "Is it because of Lu Zhou?"

Wang Shicheng didn't answer, put the teacup on the table, and said simply.

"It's not easy to handle."

Every time it comes to the academician co-election year, the most troublesome thing is the standing committees of each academic department.

The domestic academic circles are relatively closed and form a system of their own. For most local-trained scholars, it is very difficult to obtain a high-ranking honor in the world, and the title of academician can be said to be the ultimate goal of more than 99% of domestic academic scholars. .

As long as you get the title of academician, it means that you have both power and status, no matter which university or research institution you are in, you can basically go sideways.

Therefore, at this time, for the few places, the departments inside and outside the departments almost have to break their heads.

Don't talk about turning against each other, and tearing each other up is even more common.

but……

The situation on Lu Zhou's side is somewhat different from others.

Probably because they knew they couldn't tear it apart, or because they had no shortcoming to reveal, all the candidates tacitly put this guy aside and ignored it. Logically speaking, this is a good thing. In the end, it will go through the motions, and everyone will vote to award him the title. Anyway, there will be no disputes.

However, the trouble is that this boss is so awesome that his name has entered the primary list of both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

Needless to say, the Academy of Engineering, the chief designer of the controllable fusion project, was selected into the Department of Energy and Mining Engineering. Said to be a department director or committee secretary.

If there is an accident, let alone half of the nuclear power personnel in Huaguo disagree, I am afraid that they will not be able to pass the test of the elders' house.

Then the question arises, on the premise that the Academy of Engineering will definitely give him the title of academician, is it necessary for the Academy of Sciences to give it?

It is not uncommon for scholars to be academicians of both academies at the same time, but two academician titles are awarded in the same year...

This is too exaggerated.

Many professors with very senior qualifications are still queuing up, and some of them have made major research achievements. It is hard not to think about getting two academician titles at once.

Looking at Director Qian who was sitting behind the desk, Wang Shicheng paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "I heard that someone from the Engineering Institute also recommended his name, and I wondered whether I should suppress his application first. It's different from that of the Engineering Academy."

"Oh," Director Qian asked with a smile, "then help me think about it, which young talent at Yanda University is more suitable than Professor Lu?"

Wang Shicheng stopped talking.

This is the second place that gave him a headache.

It would be a good choice to defer him a term...

However, the light of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal is too dazzling. Coupled with the weight of the Lingyun Medal, it is not appropriate for anyone to brush him off. After all, not to mention domestic, even looking at the entire international community, it is basically impossible to find a scholar with a more dazzling aura than him.

"I was thinking that no choice is suitable, so I came here to discuss with you. What do you think is more suitable, then do it." Unable to think of a solution, Wang Shicheng decisively kicked the ball to Director Qian .

Director Qian shook his head: "I think you've overcomplicated this issue."

Wang Shicheng: "Complicated?"

"That's right," Director Qian nodded and continued, "The title of academician is not important to him at all. His opinions can already affect the decision-making of high-level officials, and the support he can get from the state is not ordinary. An academician can be won. Even if there is one more academician title, it is at best an icing on the cake for him."

The turbid pupils flickered a little, and Wang Shicheng pretended to be casual and asked: "You mean... it doesn't hurt to push back."

Director Qian: "No, I mean...it doesn't matter to him whether he gets elected or not, but it matters to us."

Wang Shicheng: "..."
