The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 265 Approval
Green River, Utah, USA.

Green River is a very small city, with only about 800 people living here.

However, after the JNEO project was confirmed to be built here, this place began to become lively. At least after many scientists came here, various infrastructures were also built in this city to meet their daily life needs.

Of course, this place has also attracted a lot of investment, mainly because some businessmen believe that JNEO can succeed and build the first controlled nuclear fusion reactor in the free world here in Green River. When it is expanded, there will definitely be great business opportunities, just like Los Alamos back then.

Therefore, this small city, whose population is more than a hundred people less than ten years ago, seems to have become more vibrant.

At this time, a temporary project department has been set up in the area circled by JNEO. It is the kind of converted container that is very common in various construction sites.

As for research institutes, they definitely cannot be built. Given their efficiency, it is still a long way to go before a research institute can be built.

What's more, it is completely meaningless for them to rush to build it now. The most important issue is how to get the materials.

If they don’t have the materials, what’s the point even if they build a research institute within a day?
There are countless research institutes all over the world, even those related to controlled nuclear fusion, and there is no shortage of research institutes like theirs.

"Cowley, did you hear that?"

In the project department, Steven Cawley, who served as the JNEO project leader, was looking at the construction site outside with a worried look on his face, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.

Turning around, he saw another important figure in JNEO, Professor Cody Bryan of MIT, who was also an expert in the field of nuclear fusion. He had been in charge of MIT's nuclear fusion research and was one of the candidates for the person in charge. However, all the candidates at that time rejected the president's "good intentions" and asked him to find someone else.

So Cauley became the unlucky guy, and Cody Bryan eventually became an engineer, so he didn't have to take any responsibility.

"What is it?" asked Cowley, with a sigh.

Cody said: "Xiao Yi successfully proved another important conjecture in mathematics today, the Collatz conjecture. I wonder if you remember it."

Cawley twitched his lips.

He did remember this conjecture. After all, the description of this conjecture was very simple. Anyone with a certain level of knowledge in mathematics could understand this description.

"So, what you mean is that while we were still worrying here, Xiao Yi figured out another mathematical conjecture?"

"Yes." Cody spread his hands.

"Fuck!" Cowley was immediately furious.

Originally, he was a very Buddhist scholar. After all, he was studying nuclear fusion, which he knew was something that would not be achieved within decades.

In this case, there is no need for him to be anxious.

Now, as a result, this thing has been realized without any response, and I have been asked to shoulder such an important responsibility.

Now, he simply couldn't help but be anxious.

I thought that the other party now has the leisure to study other problems, while I am still suffering in such a small place.

So much so that the originally Buddhist scientist has now become irritable.

However, at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took one look and cursed again: "Fuck, why is he calling me now?"

Cody took a curious look and saw that it was actually the president calling.

Calling at this time...

It always feels like it’s not a good thing?

Cowley calmed down, then answered the phone and said, "Mr. President, what can I do for you?"

The president's voice came from the other end: "Professor Cowley, I just want to ask about the progress on your side?"

Cowley clenched his fists, but finally relaxed them helplessly, and answered honestly: "Mr. President, our research institute has not yet been built!"

The president asked, "Is the research institute the focus? No, it's not. We all know that your research progress is the focus. What plans have you come up with so far? Have you achieved any breakthroughs in your research? These are the top priorities. I just want to know these."

"I just got the news that Xiao Yi solved another well-known conjecture in mathematics today, called the Hailstone Conjecture."

"It's been less than a year since he came up with controlled nuclear fusion, and he's made this achievement. I also saw the blog that Terence Tao posted. Humph, that guy didn't solve this problem back then, but now Xiao Yi has solved it, and he said it's a completely new idea and a completely new solution. It's a very groundbreaking achievement."

"Professor Cowley, don't you think that Xiao Yi is slapping us in the face by doing this?"

Cawley looked puzzled.

What's so embarrassing about this?

Didn’t they just solve a math problem?

Could it be that they think that Xiao Yi was mocking the United States for not having such capabilities just because he solved nuclear fusion and then a mathematical conjecture with such ease?

Emmm...

How about you send someone to get rid of Xiao Yi?

In any case, Cowley himself had no idea in his mind. As a British-born person, he did not have such a strong sense of honor and disgrace towards the United States. He even regretted it at this time and wanted to run back to Britain.

Of course, no matter how much he complained in his heart, he certainly couldn't say such words to the president, so after organizing his words, Cowley said: "I'm sorry, Mr. President, I'm deeply sorry for what you said, but our current technology can only achieve this level now."

"As for mathematical research... I'm sorry, I'm not a math researcher, Mr. President, so I probably can't give you an answer on that."

"But, to be honest, I think we shouldn't compare ourselves with scientists like Xiao Yi. After all..."

After choosing his words, Cowley finally said, "He is really a little too special."

The president snorted again: "He is just a human being after all. How can he be so special?"

a:"……"

Who knows whether Xiao Yi is a human being?

However, he did not respond. He now realized that the president called him simply to vent his anger.

At this moment, he was just telling himself frantically in his heart that he could just endure it for another year or two and it would be over.

In next year's election, he must vote for the Democratic Party to avoid electing a Republican to challenge him.

In the White House, the president probably had no idea that the guy on the other end of the phone was now planning to vote for the opposition party.

However, he had already vented his anger this time, so he didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

And next to him, the Secretary of State was standing.

Looking at the Secretary of State, the President thought for a moment, then said, "How is the mission in China going?"

The Secretary of State quickly understood what the President was referring to, and said helplessly, "There has not been much progress. You know, the Chinese are too wary of us now, and it is difficult for us to get useful information from them, especially their government and various research institutes. They all do not allow the use of the electronic equipment we have."

The president snorted coldly: "It's because we gave them too much time to develop that they have the confidence they have now."

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, the mission must be carried out no matter what. This matter must be resolved before I leave office. Otherwise, how can we still be MAGA?"

The Secretary of State twitched his lips.

MAGA?

With less than two years left, it is impossible to achieve MAGA.

……

The proof of the hail hypothesis has indeed had a huge impact.

At least, this tells the world one thing, that Xiao Yi's interest in scientific research is still quite strong.

Considering his age, this even caused many politicians to feel a little scared.

At this moment, they obviously did not think that this young man was just another Einstein. For a moment, countless people began to pray to God in their hearts, hoping that their God would make Xiao Yi disappear.

Let this guy who destroyed the development of history and science disappear from this world.

However, Xiao Yi probably didn't know at this moment that so many people were cursing him in their hearts.

Of course, whether he knew it or not, one thing he was very clear about was that he had become a thorn in the eyes of many people.

However, if cursing is useful, what is the use of science?
Ok……

Although the buff on him is quite unscientific, if this buff is really an unscientific product, why should he be guided to study science?
Therefore, his final conclusion was that this buff itself was a product of science.

But now, it is impossible for him to figure out where this scientific product comes from.

Therefore, he never wastes time thinking about the origin of this buff.

Just like in the past, he almost never studied things that he was not completely sure about, probably nuclear fusion was an exception.

Time passed quickly.

At the end of May, Director Liu came to see him again, asked about the application from the H-20 project team, and sought his opinion.

Obviously, the higher-ups have studied this matter thoroughly and have finally decided to do it, so they came here to seek his final opinion.

In response to this, he naturally said that it was entirely possible, after all, it was he who proposed this matter.

At the same time, he also expressed his optimism about the potential of the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace, believing that it is fully capable of producing more and stronger materials.

The development of human science and technology is the development of material technology.

Just like guns, the emergence of guns was also born with the development of steel smelting technology.

In ancient times, that kind of steel was full of impurities and would explode when fired.

By now, bullets can fly hundreds or even thousands of meters away without losing power, and there will be no problems such as barrel explosion.

Or in various daily necessities, they all come from the accumulation of material technology.

Now, this precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace seems to have the potential to further advance materials technology.

Afterwards, Director Liu left again, probably to go back and report the news.

Sometimes Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh at how busy Director Liu was, and even had to come to him in person to ask a question.

However, it is probably mainly because these matters are highly confidential and even telephone calls may lead to leaks.

Just like that, a few days later, Xiao Yi received another notice, which officially issued a confidential document, agreeing to his cooperation with the H-20 project team and providing them with relevant technical support for the precise magnetic levitation fluid control furnace.

Finally, after almost a month and a half of waiting, the leaders finally made a decision.

Perhaps he also took into consideration what Xiao Yi said. If he could really help China produce some top-notch materials, the benefits would be absolutely astonishingly huge.

Just like MHT-7.

So the next day, Xiao Yi went to the materials research institute in Jinling again.

"Master Xiao, we meet again!"

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the institute, Wang Changhong came out to greet us.

He smiled and greeted Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi also smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Wang, you are here too."

Chief Engineer Wang laughed and said, "I came here right after receiving the document. I am just waiting to discuss with you, Chief Engineer Xiao, what to do next. I am also very curious about the precise magnetic levitation fluid control furnace."

Of course, Wang Changhong doesn't stay in this research institute all the time.

This research institute is only one of the ones involved in the H-20 project, and it mainly provides materials related to aviation engine research. In fact, there are quite a lot of research institutes involved in the project, covering all kinds of functions.

Xiao Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Then I can introduce it to you in more detail this time. In addition, I have also studied it carefully in the past month and a half and made a brief plan. I can tell you about it first."

"it is good!"

Wang Changhong nodded, and then invited Xiao Yi to enter the research institute.

Li Zhenhai, Luo Mingya and other researchers in the project team were also standing by, and at this moment they all looked very curious.

However, the number of people who can watch it is limited to eight people who are authorized. Others, no matter how curious they are, cannot watch it.

Soon, they entered a conference room, closed the door, and Xiao Yi began to introduce the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace to Wang Changhong and others in detail.

Time passed quickly, and after some explanation, they finally understood this furnace and how it was able to produce the first wall material of nuclear fusion.

“This is too complicated!”

Even Wang Changhong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He now has a clear feeling that if the H-20 is really built, the most technologically advanced part of it will probably not be the stealth distribution, aerodynamic layout, or the power of the aircraft engine.

Instead, it is completely concentrated in the production method used in the production process of TA1203!
This is the true crystallization of technology!
For a moment, his heart was filled with emotion.

As for the others, they were even more surprised.

Although they may not have fully understood it, they could roughly hear how complicated it was to produce materials using this precise magnetic levitation fluid controlled furnace.

The process of writing a program alone is already quite complicated, and there is simply too much knowledge that needs to be mastered.

It was really hard for them to believe how Xiao Yi had developed this thing.

"Then, Chief Xiao, what should we do next?"

At this time, Li Zhenhai asked.

At this moment, his expression was quite excited. Perhaps after hearing about the function of this control furnace, he rekindled his hope for the future of the material.

Xiao Yi said: "Next, I will continue to be responsible for the transformation of the control furnace and the writing of the program. As for you..."

He thought about it and it seemed that there was really nothing else that needed to bother them.

So he said, "You can continue with other things."

"Um...can I learn a little?" Li Zhenhai asked.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course you can, but I don't usually stay here, so if you want to study, it may not be very convenient."

"That is indeed a problem..."

Li Zhenhai also became entangled, "Let me think about it."

Li Zhenhai began to think about it, and the following topic became relaxed.

Wang Changhong suddenly said, "By the way, this year's Science and Technology Awards Conference should be opening soon. Chief Engineer Xiao, I would like to congratulate you in advance."

They have all received notice that this year's Science and Technology Awards Conference will be held on June 24th.

And everyone knows that this year's awards ceremony will definitely be different from previous ones.

The achievements of nuclear fusion will probably be officially announced at this awards ceremony.

In response, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank you in advance."
