PFC Chapter 840: Re-establishing the project? Just another way of saying it to get subsidies!
Chapter 840: Re-establishing the project? Just another way of saying it to get subsidies!
Listening to Smith's teasing, Hawkins smiled awkwardly.
The facts are indeed as Smith said.
In recent years, the so-called big moves made by the Dragon Country in the field of controlled nuclear fusion are just small moves for the Eagle Sauce Country and other powerful countries with controlled nuclear fusion projects, and they can't make any difference at all.
No wonder Smith reacted this way.
but……
This time, Longguo is indeed making a big move.
Hawkins coughed lightly, and waited until Smith finished teasing before continuing.
"Professor, it seems that Longguo is serious this time!"
"According to relevant sources, there is also intelligence from the intelligence department."
"Cao Qidong, director of the Longguo National Institute of Superconducting Confinement Energy, recently submitted an application to the Longguo senior management, saying that they want to merge their ongoing project with another plan and re-establish the project for research..."
Before Hawkins finished speaking, Smith couldn't help laughing again when he heard it.
"Hahaha……"
"Merge the existing project with other plans and restart the research? Hahahaha... Dragon Country has so many tricks!"
"Hawkins, do you think this kind of project is still a project?"
"What's the worst thing about doing research?"
Hawkins replied.
"give up halfway……"
"That's right!"
Smith spread his hands.
"You already know all this, so why do you make this insignificant information so important?"
"On such an important project as controlled nuclear fusion, the Dragon Country's research institute has been working on it for decades without any success. Now that it's halfway through, they say they want to integrate it with other plans?"
"Is this research? This is clearly an attempt to defraud the Dragon Government of subsidies!"
"By the way, has the Dragon Government agreed?"
Smith looked like he was eating a melon.
"I... agree!"
"It is reported that the Longguo National Superconducting Confinement Energy Research Institute has completed its reorganization a few days ago and has entered the research and development stage of new projects!"
As soon as Hawkins finished speaking, Smith burst into laughter again.
"You really agreed? Hahahaha... Are the Dragon Government a bunch of idiots?"
"It's obvious that the institute is just using a different method to defraud subsidies and support, but you dare to stamp your approval?"
"They say that Dragon Country is a wise country with 5,000 years of civilization. I think it's all bullshit!"
He has heard the official announcements from the relevant research and development departments of Longguo countless times. Although each announcement was different, without exception, nothing came of it.
however!
Even so, the Long government still agreed.
I don’t know if the Dragon government is really blind to trust their research and development department.
Or are they deceiving themselves and others by creating the illusion that their country attaches great importance to and intends to strongly support the development of controlled nuclear fusion.
Smith laughed heartily, but Hawkins found it difficult to laugh.
Because according to the intelligence.
The partner that Longguo Research Institute chose to cooperate with was the famous young entrepreneur Li Yang.
It was because of his proposal that Cao Qidong, director of the Longguo Research Institute, resolutely gave up the project on which they had already made some progress and chose to combine with Li Yang's proposal.
In his opinion.
Although the Dragon people have not achieved much in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, they are not stupid.
Especially the director of their research institute, he is really dedicated to the research of controlled nuclear fusion and is very professional.
Such a person will never act on impulse and rashly cooperate with others.
The reason for making such a decision is probably that the proposal put forward by that man named Li Yang is indeed quite promising.
To be on the safe side, Hawkins told everyone all the information he knew.
"Professor Smith, there is some specific information here..."
He recounted everything one by one, without missing a single one.
After listening to this, Smith first frowned, then sneered.
"Hawkins, are you saying that the guy named Li Yang used to be a developer of fishing gear?"
"That's right!" Hawkins nodded and added.
“However, his abilities extend beyond fishing gear and supplies.”
"According to reliable information, Li Yang also developed many military products for the Longguo military."
"For example, drones and infantry fighting vehicles all seem to be made by Li Yang!"
"Besides that, he is still..."
Smith interrupted him with his hand, signaling him not to continue.
"Hawkins, I don't deny that this young genius from Dragon Country is very talented in scientific research."
"I was also very surprised that he was able to design and develop military products for Longguo's military industry and was even requisitioned by the military."
"But in the final analysis, whether it is a drone, a so-called infantry fighting vehicle, or maritime equipment."
“These technological products and breakthroughs are not that difficult.”
"Maybe it was a flash of inspiration, maybe it was coincidence, I can't tell."
"But controlled nuclear fusion is different. It requires time to accumulate and continuous attempts before we can find a glimmer of possibility for progress."
"How powerful can a plan come up with from a layman like him?"
Not to mention a layman like Li Yang, even if you find a professional who has some experience in the field of controlled nuclear fusion and give him decades, he may not be able to come up with a decent plan.
Will the people from the Longguo National Research Institute reorganize the project because of his proposal?
It’s simply a fantasy!
It's just a random excuse.
Hawkins didn't know what to say.
What Smith said makes sense.
No matter how you look at it, Li Yang doesn't seem like someone who can come up with a feasible plan on his own.
To know.
The projects that their laboratory is currently working on were originally designed after years of discussion and improvement.
During this period, changes were made continuously and some problems in the plan were constantly solved.
until now.
This plan is still in the process of changing at any time.
and so……
Smith was not wrong.
"Well, I was a little too worried."
Smith waved his hand.
"It's actually a good thing that you have such concerns."
"Although we are at the forefront in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, if we slack off even a little, we will be overtaken by others."
"So, even if the Dragon Country's research institute does not pose a threat to us, we still have to keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents."
"If there are other developments in their research institute, please continue to report!"
"However, your work focus should still be on the project."
"Our goal this year is to increase the plasma confinement time to 900ns!"
Hawkins nodded.
"understand!"
He made a gesture to get up and leave, and Smith asked again.
"By the way, have the people hiding in the Sakura Country's controlled nuclear fusion project team sent back any news recently?"
Hawkins thought for a moment, then answered.
"no!"
"Last time he reported, Sakura Country seemed to have hit a bottleneck in its research on controlled nuclear fusion and had made no progress."
"Is that so?"
Smith frowned, feeling that something was not right...
