Chapter 121 Good Scientists Bad Scientists

At the scientific summary meeting at the TPC headquarters at the end of the year, Masaki Keigo finally appeared again. As the leader of the scientific review team, he had just walked onto the podium when more than a dozen scientists raised their hands to express their desire to speak. Masaki Jing Wu snorted coldly, then knocked on the table to signal everyone to speak in order.

"Keigo Masaki, I admit that you are a genius. Your research on light, your research on biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics, and your understanding of the Max power system are all top-notch, but you can't wait First of all, compared to a powerful space carrier, the TPC system that has been established with great difficulty is obviously more important."

"That's right, Keigo Masaki, it's not that we don't want to build an aerospace carrier, but that the construction of a carrier at this time is to stir up those branches of the world that have just completed the reorganization. We finally completed the reform with those peaceful people. The power system has once again provoked an arms race, and everything can't go back."

"Everyone can technically support Dr. Yao's research and construction, but it is too dangerous to further increase investment. Masaki Keigo, please think about it."

"First of all, I would like to trouble you to clarify one thing." Masaki Keigo tapped the table vigorously with his knuckles.

"Compromise is not peace, and peace never means no weapons research. Of course, with your simple thinking logic, I'm afraid you can't understand what I said, but please think about it with your scientists' thinking. , if science is bound by these messy things, can technology really support humans to go to the deep space of the universe?"

Masaki Keigo is actually very busy. The problems that have arisen on the road to light transformation have not yet been resolved. He has not paid attention to the internal affairs of TPC for a long time.

It's not that he didn't think about seeking help from the forerunner Castor, but his subconscious told him that some roads had to be walked alone, and if he had to seek help in the matter of evolving into light Casto's help, then he may not be able to face the proud self in the mirror for the rest of his life.

Masaki Keigo took a deep breath. If it wasn’t for the Max Power System, he wouldn’t have come to any bullshit conference. He firmly believed that the Max Power System was very important to the future of mankind. He looked at the internationally renowned scientists sitting below. With a glance, he knew that some of them had lost their scientific ideals as scientists. They had completely transformed into the kind of politicians they hated most in the past when they supported Sawai's establishment of TPC.

Suddenly, a scientist who seemed familiar to Masaki Keigo stood up, "Mr. Masaki Keigo, I want to know that you know that the establishment of the Max power system will cause chaos in the world, but you insist on building the Max power system again and again, don't you?" Because you actually did it on purpose,
Before the establishment of TPC, you never cared about our invitation, but now that peace finally came, you took the initiative to join us, and you kept pointing at us on weapons-related matters, are you provoking it on purpose? Humanity has returned to the original state of war. "

Masaki Keigo frowned and recalled the scientist's face, and then he remembered that this guy was Tango Yuuji, the one who was kicked out by him at the first meeting because he was late.

"A second-rate scientist like you is not worthy to tell me this. If you think that I support Max Power System just to build weapons to allow humans to go back to the past, then I can only say that the most powerful weapon in your mind is for me, Keigo Masaki. It’s just pediatrics, as long as I am willing, I can restore power that you can’t even imagine in a matter of minutes.”

"What is the power you are talking about? What is the direction of the light wave equipment you are researching? There have been records of explosions and earthquakes near your company. Have you conducted research on weapons in private? This is your Your own behavior, or the behavior between you and Castor behind you, the winning team or even higher?"

Tango Yuuji is obviously worried about the fact that Masaki Keigo looked down on him. It is obvious that he came prepared for this meeting. Whether it is the company behind Masaki Keigo or Masaki Keigo's personal relationship, Tango Yuuji has done it for sure. investigation.

No, this should not be the information he can get.

Masaki Keigo glanced at him, and he was even a little surprised. Although this person named Tango Yuuji was disgusting him, it was rare that this guy actually aroused his interest. You must know that he is Masaki Keigo. Don't dare to speak to him like that.

This guy is a bit ambitious, but the methods are really too low, and it is obvious that this guy was used as a gun, Masaki Keigo shook his head, too lazy to say anything to him.

On the second day, there were some rumors inside TPC. Rumors about Masaki Keigo's private research on high-intensity weapons began to appear, and at the same time, some negative news about his plan to seize power also began to circulate.

Masaki Keigo knew why, those scientist groups who had formed a school group were putting pressure on him, trying to make him bow his head.

Some object for the sake of science, while others object simply to prove their strength.

But Masaki Keigo knew that the more this happened, the less he could retreat. Once he retreated, the pressure would rush to Casto and others.

He Masaki Keigo will never shirk his responsibilities to others.

He is proud of everything about himself, and at the same time proud of pride itself. He doesn't want to and can't change all this.

The fact that there will be small groups among scientists is actually expected by Sawai and others. As long as there are people, there will be groupings. What's more, these people feel that they have contributed to the establishment of TPC. They feel that their current Their status is not worthy of their contribution to the establishment of TPC.

Sawai and the others had already thought about it. As long as Masaki Keigo opened his mouth, they would be able to take advantage of the trend and pass administrative orders to break up these small groups one by one. However, it was unexpected but reasonable. Masaki Keigo did nothing but endure The attacks on him by those small groups.

Because the attack has not been further expanded, it can only be regarded as gossip among scientists. Faced with this situation, Sawai can only let the people from the Intelligence Bureau control public opinion, so that these news will not be overly fermented.

On the other hand, Dagu didn't go to look for Keigo Masaki just because he returned to TPC, he didn't even notice that Keigo Masaki came to TPC, he has been investigating the matter of the Max powertrain test machine that night in private.

Since that night when he discovered that there was light in the optical fiber of the Max power system of the testing machine, he paid close attention to everyone who approached the testing machine. Pass the test machine.

At the same time, he invaded the database of the testing machine, and he was surprised to find that there was a large amount of unrecorded startup data in the database of the testing machine.

The light in the optical fiber that Dagu saw that night was actually the trace that Max's power system had been activated.

The Max power system is actually a special engine made using the annihilation effect at the atomic level. In fact, a few years ago, this was only an engine that only had theoretical possibilities in science fiction. Of course, in science fiction, this engine still exists. There is a more popular name - antimatter engine.

Before Dr. Yatsuo made the Max power system, the anti-matter engine was a theoretical engine that was put forward very early.

As the name implies, the antimatter engine can use antimatter to propel the spacecraft, and has extremely high specific impulse and thrust-to-weight ratio, and the spacecraft fueled by antimatter is also regarded as an efficient tool for interstellar transportation of mechanical energy in the future.

One advantage of using an antimatter engine is that the annihilation of antimatter can be produced spontaneously, and does not require many conditions like the nuclear reaction in a nuclear engine, so a large reactor is not needed, and the weight of the spacecraft can be reduced.

The byproduct of the annihilation of the entire antimatter engine is the powerful light that filled the engine at that moment.

However, there are still many difficulties to be overcome if the ideal is to be turned into reality.

First of all, it consumes too much energy to make it, because there is no other way to make antimatter, so the only way to reverse the annihilation process is to use a particle accelerator to make antimatter from energy according to Einstein’s mass-energy conversion formula.

For this reason, before this, the world can only produce 1 billionth of a gram of antimatter every year, which is not enough antimatter to heat a cup of coffee.

Another obstacle is storage, because antimatter will annihilate and explode as soon as it encounters positive matter, so we cannot use any container made of positive matter to store it, and these antimatter elementary particles are stored through a magnetic field.

The most used is the ultra-cold vacuum Penning trap (Penning trap), which is a portable antiproton storage device that uses superimposed electromagnetic fields to store protons, but it is difficult to store positrons in this way.

Even in TPC's database, there are tens of thousands of design ideas for antimatter engines.

But the only research results that actually appear are Dr. Yatsuo's Max power system.

Although Dr. Yatsuo has made public his research, but this is only some publicity that is not public. The core of the design, those really key details, are actually all hidden.

It seems that the whole world knows what principles are used to make atomic bombs, but there are not many countries that can really make atomic bombs.

Other than Dr. Yatsuo, the only people in the world who have truly mastered all the design ideas of the Max power system are Director Tomura of the Science Bureau who is in charge of the Victory Feiyan system, Masaki Keigo of the Science Review Team, and several people who used to belong to the Space Development Bureau. There are not many people waiting for a scientist.

The rest are either people like Sawai who have authority but can’t understand the design ideas, or Dr. Mizuno who can understand but can only read core materials in related fields such as electromagnetics.

After reading the records and observing for several days, Dagu felt as if he had discovered the truth. Although his mouth was hot, everyone was actually interested in Max's power system. Scientists who said they opposed it came to the hangar more than once to try to study the full picture of Max's power system in the name of inspection.

As the project leader, Dr. Yatsuo didn't mean to stop them. On the contrary, he seemed to hope that these people could really see what the Max power system was like. He hoped that such behavior could change other people's prejudices.

As for security, it is a pity that the security in the TPC hangar is weaker than imagined, and it cannot be said to be weak. For scientists, the hangar can be easily opened, but for security personnel, the hangar does not allow them too much. too close to these devices.

After observing for a few days, Dagu felt that he had understood that some of these people were out of curiosity, some were out of fear, and some simply wanted to master this technique.

It's just that Dagu didn't know whether he should report this matter, but after a few days of observation, he did know why these people were able to approach and start the testing machine secretly without being discovered by others.

Because the cross permissions of these scientists happened to be able to cover all related hangar permissions, some people changed the night monitoring, some shared the night entry and exit passwords, and everyone pretended to be different from each other. Knowing, but actually covering up other people.

Dagu felt that although these crooked scientists were smart in scientific research, they were poor in reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance abilities, and they were not at the same level as those who had really received professional training like himself.

Of course, in fact, ordinary people can't find out what happened on the testing machine. Ordinary people don't even know that when the testing machine starts, light will be left in the optical fiber, but it just so happens that Dagu is the one who has the ability to detect and understand the test. The person who has started the machine.

A group of thieves secretly trying to control the most cutting-edge technology of mankind?Dagu felt as if he had discovered the truth of the matter.

Then, he secretly told Mr. Castor and Captain Jianhui about this matter.

In the next few days, Dagu found that the security of the hangar at night was even stricter. Although the security personnel still did not allow him to approach the experimental equipment, there was no sign that the system had been secretly opened.

Dagu's mind relaxed a little, and then he finally discovered that at some point, TPC began to have negative public opinion about Masaki Keigo, and after he investigated, he found that these public opinions happened to come from those groups of scientists.

After thinking about it, Dagu felt that he really had no good way to deal with this kind of thing, and then he decided to go to Casto again.

If you are in doubt, go to Casto!
