Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1913: The Great Scientific Discussion
At this time, inside Ji Donglai's residence, a group of people were laughing with cold drinks in their hands. Ji Donglai was video chatting with Qiu Haitang while holding the album in his hand.

"Wifey, look at the largest country in the universe, hahaha, cough cough cough... I choked, hahaha. Look at the largest country in East Asia, China and Russia combined are not as big as South Korea, cough cough cough..."

He almost thrust the picture at Qiu Haitang, who didn't feel anything at first, but couldn't help but burst out laughing the next moment.

"Who among you is making such a prank? It's not good to belittle another country. Hey, that's not..."

When Qiu Haitang saw the brand, he was stunned and quickly entered the name into the website. As a result, he really saw the "world map" on the other party's homepage.

"Oh my god, someone really modified the world map according to their thoughts. This idea of ​​self-entertainment is good, but is it really good..."

Faced with this throat-irritating action, Qiu Haitang found it hard to accept and showed her phone to Ji Dong.

Qiu Haitang's secretary happened to be pouring water for the other person, and he almost dropped the cup after taking a glance.

"Haha... This is the first time I know the Korean Peninsula is so big. It looks a bit like a big mushroom, or like a big chicken leg. Who is it? So insulting. The last time I traveled to South Korea, it only took a few hours from Seoul to the southernmost tip, and we rented a car. I drove from Guangzhou to here, and it took several days just to drive on the highway. Who is it? It's so fun to make a world map like this. Haha..."

While Ji Donglai and his family were digesting the most confident nation in the universe, a meeting on Ji Donglai's space experiment was also being held in China, with the conference room located in a certain department.

The meeting was chaired by General Manager Liu's subordinates, and General Manager Liu watched the entire meeting of experts from various fields through surveillance.

According to the application that General Manager Liu made to Ji Donglai, as long as this meeting is approved, Ji Donglai will be able to obtain a project subsidy of 300 million yuan. Of course, Qiu Yuzheng will be responsible for leading people to cooperate with Ji Donglai in the later stage.

After all, this is an experiment of new era significance, and it is a question that few people have thought about.

"Their launch was successful, but that doesn't mean that subsequent experiments will continue to be successful, with all due respect. This theory is too advanced. According to the principles of classical mechanics and electricity, this plan seems to be very successful, but it contains too many idealized elements."

"The filtering alone can overload the device. Any theoretical model we make must be in line with reality, rather than just doing something based on an idea."

"In addition, we need to transform 20 satellites, 15 of which are still completely useless. The cost of this is too high. I took a look at the workstation satellite they launched. The internal volume is limited, and it is difficult to accommodate so much space."

"The plan is already very expensive just because it involves modifying the existing satellites, not to mention the subsequent power generation projects; launching too many satellites and modifying them at the same time? That will increase the cost tremendously, so... I think this project actually has no value, it's just a gimmick!"

An old Mediterranean man finished reading the information in front of him, then looked at the people around him and was the first to express his opinion.

The other party is an expert in electricity. The reason he is here this time is mainly because Ji Donglai is preparing to carry out space power generation, energy storage and multi-space transmission.

Some aspects of the project were the other party's blind spots, but in terms of electricity, the other party could see that the model involved by Ji Donglai's team was too vague. Of course, Ji Donglai's team did not give Mr. Liu the content involving core secrets. After all, the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Center spent so much money and is just starting out. If the core of the project is handed over to someone who knows the business, wouldn't that be looking for someone to steal their job?
Mr. Liu took the information given to him by Ji Donglai and asked these people to evaluate it. Most of the experts were not optimistic.

"I think so too. So far, no country has investigated exactly how many types of cosmic rays there are. We can only use a few types, but if there are hundreds of types of rays in space, it means that we need to filter out hundreds of types of rays."

"Leaving only a few percent of useful rays and investing 100 percent of energy is unscientific in itself. Regardless of whether this thing can succeed or not, it is not something worth promoting."

"Of course, if they use these satellites for other purposes, I think it can still be done. For example, this space repair factory, if they are strong enough, it should be possible. After all, some countries have launched so many satellites, they can dismantle a few of them, use their parts, and then restore others. It is also possible."

"But can this project store energy? I don't see that. Some things require practical evidence, even if it's just a theoretical model."

An expert with a bald head took out his cigarette box, took out the cigarette paper and started rolling a cigarette.

Several colleagues around also nodded in agreement, saying that this project was not their own, so it was okay to be strict during the review.

As people in the satellite field, several people used to be colleagues with Fan Zhongbao. Now that Fan Zhongbao has launched such a project, several people are a little surprised.

When it comes to satellites, some people still believe in Fan Zhongbao, but when it comes to space power generation, some people are not optimistic.

Especially in Science magazine or the foreign media Nature magazine, no expert has done research in this area, and there are no theoretical results.

Any transformation of scientific and technological achievements must have a serious theoretical basis. In the eyes of some people, the current research in certain fields in China has not reached the world's leading level, so some fantastic ideas are put forward just to attract attention.

Once it is agreed, how will we hold people accountable in the future when so much money is involved in this project?
Of course, Fan Zhongbao's success this time also put tremendous pressure on several people. The outside world is watching these experts who have been conducting research for so many years. So far, after Fan Zhongbao left, this department has not produced any decent results.

"The calculations in this study are not specifically marked, so it is difficult for us to make a scientific assessment. If we want to make an assessment, we must provide more scientific, rigorous and pragmatic data."

"According to our understanding, the scientific team of this R&D center is relatively young and does not have much theoretical experience. It is difficult for them to produce practical products, so I suggest not to invest in this area."

"In addition, we saw some classic former Soviet models, which I guess were the company's primary experimental subjects. The contact and subsequent maintenance of former Soviet satellites is understandable."

"But there are three mainstream space standards in the world: European, Russian, and American! The Russian style is a continuation of the Soviet style and has been eclipsed by the European and American styles."

"So even if the primary experiment is successful, it does not necessarily mean that subsequent work can be carried out smoothly. It is necessary to re-establish standards for the maintenance of American and European spacecraft."
