Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 266 It is obvious that gold is still important!
"How many grams?"

"2900! Above! No less! No more!"

"real or fake?"

"The above are already refined, and there are some mixed ones that are difficult to refine, and more will be added later..."

"The test was just carried out for one day, you know!"

"So...is it true?"

"nonsense!"

Liu Xu said this proudly with his head held high, but suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly lowered his head to explain, "I was too excited just now..."

As he spoke, he handed the document to Teacher Zhao.

Zeng Qizhen felt like he was being scratched by a cat. He wanted to move closer to take a look at the contents, but he was a little hesitant to move forward.

The same went for the people behind Teacher Zhao. They all heard what Liu Xu said and wanted to take a look at the contents of the document, but they had to stay where they were due to the authority.

Teacher Zhao didn't say a word after he came in. He still didn't quite understand, so he lowered his head to look at the document.

The file contains a large number of test values, and a lot of the content is symbols and letters, which makes people dizzy when reading them line by line.

He didn't find the point at all, and simply handed the form to Zeng Qizheng, "Take a look at it too."

After that, he asked Liu Xu, "So your experiment produced gold, right? It produced... 2900 grams?"

"Correct!"

Liu Xu nodded very vigorously.

Everyone else gathered around Zeng Qizheng and carefully read the contents of the form. Those who understood couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's really more than 2903, !"

"Where?"

"The value in the second-to-last row, the big symbol in front represents the element gold, and its weight is 2903."

"Really? 2900 grams, that's two million, right?"

"The international market price seems to be around $3000 per ounce, so 2900 grams would cost about $200 million."

"How much does it cost to make? It shouldn't be more than two million, right?"

A group of people saw Liu Xu.

The same goes for Teacher Zhao.

Facing the stares of a large group of people, Liu Xu straightened his chest and said energetically, "Now is the experimental stage, the cost of firing the ion cannon once is about 10."

"The launch cost is related to the intensity. The launch intensity of our research is relatively high, and the cost of electricity, coolant, especially the manufacture of ion clusters, and the cleaning of the reactor after launch are still very high."

"If ion cannons can be manufactured in a standardized manner in the future and have sufficient electricity and material supply, the launch cost will be greatly reduced. Even with equipment losses, the cost can be controlled below 4 yuan, or even below 3 yuan."

"We have already discussed this with Factory 259, and they have even organized a team of experts to come and do an analysis..."

After Liu Xu explained a lot, he continued, "The experiment we just did produced 2900 grams of gold, which is equivalent to earning back ten or twenty times the launch cost."

After saying that, he explained, “So I was really excited when I was reading the document just now.”

He said it without any embarrassment and held his chest straight.

Everyone else understood, too.

The cost of firing an ion cannon is $10, and the gold produced can be sold for $200 million.

With a return of more than ten or twenty times, it's no wonder that Liu Xu said he had "made a fortune".

It's not individuals who get rich, but the country.

Gold is one of the most important financial reserves. The international gold price will fluctuate constantly. If there is suddenly a large supply of gold, the price will definitely drop significantly.

However, being able to produce gold in large quantities means we truly have a golden rooster.

At that time, the country will have direct pricing power over gold.

The importance of gold is not as great as that of oil, but it is definitely very, very important. The benefits that can be brought by its production, manufacturing and pricing power are simply enormous.

In the early stages, mass production of gold would definitely make a lot of money.

The big profits made at the national level are not just a few hundred million or billions of dollars.

That would be at least hundreds of billions or trillions!
……

In the office, Teacher Zhao asked many technical questions, including whether there was room for improvement in manufacturing stability.

Liu Xu couldn't answer.

He was only the person in charge of the research and development of ion cannon weapons. Gold manufacturing was an experiment conducted with data provided by Zhang Shuo, and he could not give any answers to technical questions.

Teacher Zhao also understood the situation and stood up to find Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo had been busy with theoretical research. As soon as he learned that the leadership team had arrived, he put down his work and went to the main office building.

As soon as Teacher Zhao and his group walked out of the door, they saw Zhang Shuo walking towards them.

"Professor Zhang Shuo!"

Teacher Zhao took the initiative to go over and shake hands with Zhang Shuo, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "You've done a great job again this time!"

"Making gold... I dare not even think about it. If it were a month ago, I would not even have thought about it, nor would I have dared to dream about it!"

There was a lot of emotion in his words.

Others felt the same way. They also didn't dare to think about it, nor could they dream about it.

Zhang Shuo asked about the data of the new experiment and was very satisfied with the result. He nodded and said, "The result is still beyond expectations."

"I estimate that it can exceed one kilogram, but I dare not think about three kilograms. However, any technology is normal for research in new physics directions."

“This is a path that has never been explored before, and all the new discoveries and new technologies may have never been thought of before.”

"Making gold means making money. If it doesn't affect other technologies, it can only have an impact on finance."

He acted somewhat nonchalant, which was considered modesty by others.

Research of this level will definitely be recorded in the history of human science and technology.

However, for Zhang Shuo, there are too many research results that have been recorded in history, and gold manufacturing is just one of them.

In fact, the research itself is just a branch of nuclear fission reaction and strong force.

The content of theoretical research is still very complicated, and for the theory, what is more important is the in-depth analysis of a single force, that is, strong force.

This kind of analysis is done based on the basic force relationship model and the direction of the chaotic force field.

"Making gold is just a byproduct of the nuclear fission reaction."

"In fact, our research on nuclear force splitting is not deep enough, including intensity control and element changes, and we know very little."

"The change of its elements, that is, the special fission, also contains an unexplained fundamental principle."

"My team and I are currently conducting relevant research. I personally believe that the four great forces are an evolution of the chaotic force field, and each force is a manifestation of the terminal state of the evolution."

"This kind of research can help us gain a deeper understanding of the strong force and the relationship between protons and neutrons..."

in the office.

Zhang Shuo carefully explained many research and theoretical issues.

Some people who understand the origin point theory or are engaged in related experimental work are deeply touched, and some have thought deeply about many things.

For example, is the Big Bang an evolution of the 'source point'?
Is there an evolution of force inside a supernova?

Inside the black hole, are the physical rules that cannot be explained for the time being filled with chaotic force fields or the evolution of some kind of force?
and many more.

These cosmic problems that humans have not yet solved may be able to be explained by new physics theories.

As for the power itself, science has very little to analyze. For now, there are only definitions and calculations, and even the calculations can hardly be called "accurate."

The definition of strong force is the force between particles at the microscopic level. Its specific manifestations are all explained around the nucleus, which is completely beyond the reach of conventional physics. It can be said that strong force is a force that humans cannot control so far.

Even if it is just a new analysis and description of the strong force, it will be a huge achievement in the direction of basic physics.

Compared with theoretical issues, Teacher Zhao is more concerned with technology.

After Zhang Shuo introduced the theoretical content, he directly asked, "From a technical perspective, is the manufacturing stable?"

He was referring to the stability of gold production, that is, whether the same amount of gold can be produced in one launch.

Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low. Even if it's the same strength of ion clusters and the same material, the results will be quite different."

Liu Xu added, "We have conducted several experiments. With the same strength and the same material, the difference can be as high as more than 60%."

"Sixty percent is definitely not the upper limit. There may be more deviations, but there is also an optimal value."

"I have discussed this with Professor Zhang Shuo. This is mainly due to the strength of the ion cannon or the control of the nuclear fission reaction."

"To put it simply, the precision control is not enough. After all, we have done very little research in the direction of new technologies."

In fact, it is a question of controlling the "strong intensity".

If it is a magnetic field, or other thermal reaction, the specific value can be directly fed back through the magnetic field strength and temperature, and the controllability will definitely be greatly improved.

However, there is no specific numerical feedback on the strength of the force.

Even experiments of the same intensity cannot reflect the specific situation and cannot be evaluated.

Teacher Zhao nodded in understanding. "It's normal for new technologies to have deviations. No matter what, the research is a major contribution."

"Everyone who participated in this research deserves great credit!"

He finished speaking in a sonorous voice and looked at Zhang Shuo again, "Professor Zhang Shuo, you have made the greatest contribution. Consider this as your reward..."

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I can't think of how to reward him. It seems meaningless to just record a great achievement."

"Just tell me, we support you no matter what you want!"

"If you have any requests, just tell me!"

A group of people looked over.

Teacher Zhao is one of the top teachers. His promise is priceless, just like Aladdin's magic lamp.

Any wish can come true!

Zhang Shuo said, "Teacher Zhao, you were also at the meeting in the capital. The reason I came here is because I wanted to find a way to make money."

Without waiting for others to respond, he continued, "The research on the chaos field requires a lot of funding."

“The research is demanding and risky, and it simply cannot be done without adequate funding.”

"So I hope that after I make money from this technology, I can use some of it to support the chaos field experiment."

He said it very sincerely.

Others couldn't help but admire him in their hearts, saying that Professor Zhang Shuo is worthy of being called Professor Zhang Shuo, who is still thinking about research problems in new physics.

Teacher Zhao was also very moved. He immediately said with certainty, "No problem!"

"This is the technology you were originally researching. When I return, I will hold a meeting to discuss allocating separate funds for the research of chaos fields."

"Also, any subsequent company established based on this technology that makes more than two percentage points of profit will be allocated to you as your personal bonus!"

The others were immediately filled with envy.

Teacher Zhao promised two aspects, one of which was R&D funding.

Hold meetings to discuss and allocate funds separately.

It's a big deal if we do it alone, because the scientific research funds are allocated in a unified manner.

Scientific research funds in any basic field are paid from the total scientific research funds.

Regardless of whether it belongs to the Science Foundation, the Bureau of Science and Technology and Industry, the Department of Science and Technology, or other institutions, as long as it is scientific research funding in basic fields, the money will be drawn from one funding pool.

Separate allocation is equivalent to opening up a special expenditure, which does not involve the total scientific research funding pool and will not affect the total scientific research funding. The research will also be directly under the jurisdiction of senior teachers.

By then, the level of the projects will be different.

In addition, if a company established with gold manufacturing technology allocates more than two points of profit to an individual, the amount is definitely huge.

This new company will undoubtedly become one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Two points...

Even if it's just profit distribution, it would reach tens of billions, right?

Zhang Shuo was also very happy about Teacher Zhao's promise.

With a 2% profit dividend from the new company, the amount of money that can be earned in a year is absolutely astronomical.

No one will complain about having too much money. With money, everything is easy, but without money, it is difficult to do anything.

Just like the experimental research on chaos force fields, it can be carried out immediately with sufficient funds, and safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Without sufficient funding, experiments will be difficult to carry out, and it will be impossible to build a team. The risk of the experiment will also be greatly increased.

……

Research continues.

The research progress of Zhang Shuo, Xue Baikun and Wang Qiang is still very stable.

There is progress every day, and you can also look forward to the next progress, which makes people feel very excited and more motivated to devote themselves to research.

The experimental research led by Liu Xu conducted many experiments in succession with the same intensity and the same target materials.

The highest amount of gold produced was 3700 grams, and the lowest was only 840 grams. The data fluctuated greatly.

But even 840 grams is already very impressive.

After the experimental results were reported, the higher authorities immediately gave full support.

Factory 259 was responsible for contacting Liu Xu's team and studying and promoting the process of mass production of ion cannons. They immediately sent a new team of experts to inspect the ion cannon prototype again and promised to produce it as quickly as possible.

There were some stuck areas before, including the manufacturing of superconducting magnetic field equipment, circular ion cluster accelerators, special reactor material supply, etc.

Many of these parts can only be manufactured manually for the time being, and some are more difficult to manufacture than precision parts.

The technical team of Factory 259 has been studying related issues.

It's different now.

The representative of Factory 259 was immediately relieved and was even more anxious to manufacture the ion cannon than Liu Xu.

After Liu Xu entertained the factory expert group, he couldn't help but complain to Zhang Shuo, "They are too anxious."

“The things that were always said to be troublesome before can actually be solved manually, and more senior technicians need to be invested.”

"They went to great lengths to make it, it felt like they didn't care about the cost."

"But they are not interested in radar systems or electronic systems. They just want to build ion cluster ring accelerators, superconducting magnetic field equipment, launch port reactors, etc."

"When these are installed together, they can emit ion clusters to create gold..."

"Hey~~"

Liu Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had always hoped that the ion cannon could be mass-produced, but Factory 259 was not in a hurry at all.

it's good now.

The goal of mass production is about to be achieved. Everything in Factory 259 is given priority supply, and manufacturing is even carried out at any cost.

To improve military technology?

of course not!

Obviously, gold is more important!
