The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Chapter 1427 Where did this come from? Is it still in China?
The news of the successful first test of the electromagnetic gun was quickly transmitted back to the capital.

According to the agreement made in advance, the entire Juntian project has smoothly entered the project preparation stage.

And also got a more formal name——

"Strategic Priority Technology Project for Space Science".

Although I'm afraid no one would choose to use this name except in written documents.

Of course, after all, this is a serious long-wheelbase development blueprint. It will take some time from the beginning of the process to the formal completion of the approval, even if it is given the green light all the way.

Chang Haonan was also able to take some time out from his busy schedule and resume a relatively normal work pace.

Although I still have to run between the Torch Laboratory and Huairou Science City, they are both in the northern half of Beijing, so I am not so busy that I don’t have time to go home.

However, during this period, rumors about "the country's plan to launch an aerospace development plan that is more long-term than the lunar exploration project" quickly spread through various channels in the Industrial and Construction Commission system, especially in the military industry system.

To some extent, this could even be considered as a deliberate push by superiors.

It can be regarded as a preliminary survey to observe the attitudes of various departments and units.

In fact, this kind of gossip should be relatively brief, and the fact that it is mainly passed on by word of mouth also means that it is impossible to accurately contain too much information.

At most, it includes some general planning contents, such as near-space aircraft, deep space exploration bases, etc.

After hearing this, insiders can easily judge whether they can play a role in it. At the same time, even if it is leaked to the outside, it will not really bring any consequences.

These things are of the same nature as controlled nuclear fusion. Everyone is researching them, and at first glance it seems that there are quite a few results.

But if you ask about the specific progress...

I'm sorry, let's talk about the long-term goals first.

The outside world will not take it too seriously until something earth-shattering and ruthless is done.

However, the superiors ultimately underestimated everyone's enthusiasm.

The Juntian plan obviously involves many unpopular directions, or research topics that are popular but have not received much investment in the past due to their cost-effectiveness.

This is like a shot of chicken blood for the researchers who have been accustomed to sitting on the bench.

Therefore, Chang Haonan's peaceful life didn't last for a few days...

……

When the reception desk called to inform him that a visitor named Peng Juexian was waiting outside, he was meeting with several teachers in his office to discuss the training and allocation of the new class of students.

Although the Torch Laboratory is separated from the new campus of Beijing Aviation University by only a wall and even looks like a part of the latter at first glance, it is actually a separate semi-enclosed area.

If there is no special pass or Chang Haonan's prior approval, even if the emperor is coming, he must be notified.

If it were an ordinary person, in this situation, he would just notify the gatekeeper and let the other person in by themselves.

But Peng Juexian is an academician after all, and he has a cooperative relationship with the Torch Laboratory on several projects.

Even if there is no appointment, we can't just leave them hanging.

You must go to the door in person to pick it up.

"Academician Peng, why didn't you tell me before you came? I could have prepared in advance."

After meeting, Chang Haonan led the other party to the tree-lined path leading to the main building of the laboratory while greeting him:

"This sudden attack puts us under a lot of pressure..."

Since finishing his trip to ITER at the end of last year, Peng Juexian has been traveling back and forth between Luzhou, Jincheng and Pengcheng for the past six months. The two of them have basically been in touch through phone calls and emails.

Now he appeared outside the Torch Laboratory without any warning. In Chang Haonan's opinion, there must be something urgent.

Unexpectedly, there was a hint of joking in Peng Juexian's tone:

"Heh... If you want to talk about a surprise attack, it was you, Academician Chang, who made the surprise attack first. What I did was at most... an equal treatment."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chang Haonan, who looked puzzled, and explained:
"I was doing closed research in Ling'ao for the past half month. When I came out yesterday, I found that my goodness was gone. I felt like the entire domestic high-energy physics research was going to change. I received 200 text messages on my phone, all asking me about the 'Juntian Project'..."

This time, the latter himself was a little bit overwhelmed:
"so much?"

He had guessed long ago that this news would cause a certain response.

But now it seems that the noise is a bit too loud.

"That's not all!"

Peng Juexian snorted again in annoyance:
"I received 200 messages, that's because my phone can only store 200 messages, all the messages before that were squeezed out..."

At this time in 2009, smartphones were not yet popular, and there was not much difference between feature phones. The only consumable part was the battery, which could be replaced at any time.

So it is normal for some people who only make phone calls on a daily basis to use a mobile phone for five or six years.

Chang Haonan finally laughed out loud, waved his hands quickly, and said in a serious tone:
"Blame me, blame me... As compensation, how about our lab pay for you to get a phone with a larger storage capacity?"

Peng Juexian's eyes almost rolled up to the sky:
"Go away... am I talking about the cell phone?"

"..."

After the joke, Chang Haonan finally regained his seriousness:
"The main reason is that I never thought there would be such a big reaction, and that it would all be linked to you... If I had known earlier, I should have informed you in advance."

Peng Juexian's tone became serious again:
"Even if you inform me in advance, I won't be able to receive it, and the key is not here..." Although there was no one around, he subconsciously lowered his voice:
"I'm worried that the news is spreading too fast. And from what I've seen in foreign media, there have been many reports and discussions about your electromagnetic cannon test. I think the domestic media will follow suit soon."

It’s really not that Peng Juexian is just being overly sensitive.

As a person who came from the field of hydrogen bomb research, this kind of scene was really hard for him to adapt to.

"Well... that gun was built at the Dingxin base with great fanfare for nearly a year, and the noise it made during testing was so loud that it couldn't be hidden from satellite reconnaissance in the sky."

Chang Haonan didn't care much about this:

"Besides, it's just a technical verification device, and the focus is not on the cannon itself. Rather than keeping it secret and making others suspicious, it's better to release the news. At least it can mislead the outside world's focus..."

As they were talking, the two of them just arrived at the entrance of the main building of the laboratory.

He opened the door for the other party and added:

"In addition, this time window is very suitable, and the publicity effect is also good..."

Now it was Peng Juexian's turn to be confused:

“What time window?”

"Uh……"

Before Chang Haonan could figure out how to explain, he saw two boys in lab coats walking out of an office on the first floor.

The two of them seemed to be talking and laughing, and obviously did not notice Chang Haonan and Peng Juexian who were still at the door.

"Jun Shen, have you seen Transformers 2?"

The taller one among them asked first.

Chang Haonan remembered that this was a new student recruited by Li Yabo last year, and his name seemed to be Lu Peng.

If we go by seniority, he should even be considered his disciple...

It's just that it's a bit awkward to have a disciple when you're not even in your thirties, so usually everyone keeps to their own business.

The other student called Junshen is Lei Zhixing's student, Guo Jun, who was admitted with the first place in his major last year.

"I've seen it, and I'm planning to watch it again this weekend..."

Guo Jun nodded.

Lu Peng was obviously very excited to find a common topic:
"That robot dog is really cool, isn't it? And Optimus Prime after he merged with Skyfire in the end."

"Indeed... But if you ask me, the coolest one is still the electromagnetic cannon on the destroyer, although it looks more like a high-energy particle cannon..."

On this point, the two clearly disagreed.

"The main thing is that whether it's an electromagnetic cannon or a particle cannon, it feels like something that can be created very quickly with modern technology..."

Lu Peng curled his lips:
"It's a little bit lacking in science fiction."

Guo Junze frowned with a complicated expression:
"Although...it can't be made so quickly, right?"

At this time, the two had already walked to the mail room in the hall.

Lu Peng was leaning against the window, seemingly preparing to sign for something.

Guo Jun looked around with some boredom, and finally his eyes stopped on the newspaper rack next to him.

Then, it couldn't be moved anymore.

On the front page of a copy of the Huaxia National Defense News, there was a huge black bold headline:

"Foreign media reported that my country's "electromagnetic gun" was successfully tested recently and may soon be put into service to replace traditional artillery"

There is also a huge satellite image below.

Although it is not very clear, you can still see a facility in the picture that looks like a tower crane.

But if you think of the crane as a track, it does look a bit like an electromagnetic gun...

"My grass..."

Guo Jun patted Lu Peng's shoulder anxiously:

"Brother Bird, look at that!"

The latter was a little confused at first, but soon found the key point in the direction of the other party's finger.

Then his eyes widened.

He did say something like "modern technology will be able to create it quickly."

But the concept of "soon" should be at least a few years or even a dozen years later.

In the blink of an eye, the news appeared in the newspaper.

It inevitably gives people a sense of illusion of time and space confusion.

"Is there really a planet called Cybertron?"
