Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 273 We can’t fall behind any further!

At the meeting, what Chen Mingshang said can be summed up in one sentence:

"Gold does not limit supply, it increases industrial demand and expands the market!"

The market is about supply and demand.

Overall, if the usage of a product exceeds the supply, the price will naturally rise.

vice versa.

In recent years, the price of gold has been rising. The reason is that the usage is greater than the supply. However, the reason behind the large usage is that a large amount of gold is hoarded as currency, and a lot of gold is used to make jewelry. Industrial usage has also been increasing, but the actual proportion of usage is not high, probably only a quarter of gold production.

In industry, gold is used in electronics, chemicals, medical equipment and other industries.

In the electronics industry, gold has excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, which can greatly increase the service life of electronic products.

In the chemical industry, gold can be used as a catalyst or additive to improve the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions.

In the medical device industry, gold has good biocompatibility and stability and can be used to manufacture restorative materials and medical diagnostic equipment.

and many more.

In fact, gold can be used in many fields of industry.

The reason why the amount of gold used is relatively small is because its high price will greatly increase the manufacturing cost of the product.

In industry, gold is often replaced by more cost-effective materials or technologies.

If the price of gold drops sharply, the cost-effectiveness of using gold as a material will be lower than that of some alternative materials or technologies, and gold will be used in many directions.

For example, the electronics market.

The electronics market is a very large market, and most high-end electronic products contain gold.

For example, computers and mobile phones.

After these products are recycled, they can be refined to obtain the very rare gold in them.

The reason why the content is very rare is that most electronic products only add a little gold when it is "absolutely necessary", otherwise other metals or technologies will be used as substitutes.

When the price of gold drops significantly and the cost-effectiveness is greatly improved, industrial applications will naturally become very extensive.

For example, the price of gold dropped tenfold, while the market grew 100fold.

By mastering the source of gold production, we can produce large amounts of gold continuously, and the expansion of the market will naturally bring huge profits.

However, the gold price is not actively lowered. Chen Mingshang suggested using means of not restricting supply to allow the market to determine the gold price.

When supply exceeds demand, the price of gold will continue to fall. When the price drops to a certain level, market demand will suddenly increase.

This is to view gold purely as a precious metal material for industrial use, rather than as a currency reserve or precious jewelry.

When gold is widely used in the industrial market, it is known that no matter how much gold there is, it can be sold. By mastering the source of gold manufacturing, it can continuously bring huge profits and completely dominate the gold market.

By then, we will naturally have the right to set gold prices.

In fact, it all comes down to the extremely low manufacturing cost. Even if the price of gold drops below ten yuan per gram, there is still a certain profit margin.

What we should consider in the future is how to sell the gold produced in batches.

……

Chen Mingshang’s speech was very wonderful and was recognized by several teachers.

The meeting also preliminarily adopted the suggestion of "unlimited supply marketization". The follow-up will be to conduct industrial research to understand the current use of gold in various industrial fields and the material technology of gold substitution in future industrial applications.

This information can help make correct decisions in the future.

Of course, it has nothing to do with Zhang Shuo.

After the meeting, most of the participants left, but Zhang Shuo continued to attend the internal meeting of teachers.

This is what he was waiting for.

Zhang Shuo spoke at this internal meeting. He explained the importance of studying chaos force fields and received unanimous support from the teachers.

All teachers reached a consensus and decided to form a 'Chaos Force Field Research Project Preparatory Committee', which will be headed by Teacher Wang from the Science and Technology Department. However, the committee does not belong to the Science and Technology Department, but is independent of major scientific research support institutions and organizations.

The funds for the project preparatory committee are directly allocated by the fiscal government, with an initial investment of 100 billion yuan.

The committee's funds will be used to plan and establish a chaos force field project team, study and build a large scientific research base, and also include the demonstration of building a large particle collider.

In addition, a large portion of the funds will be used to support the experimental transformation of the Institute of High Energy Physics to conduct research on chaotic force fields.

The project preparation committee is mainly responsible for preparing for the project.

Preparation requires making various plans, including submitting various materials, researching the construction of experimental equipment, and establishing a project team, etc.

These tasks are led by Mr. Wang from the Science and Technology Department, and there are also specialized personnel in charge.

Zhang Shuo is responsible for research and experimental work.

After the meeting, he immediately went to the Institute of High Energy Physics and talked with the staff there about the preparation of the project committee and subsequent experimental preparations.

The latter is very important.

The situation this time when I came to the Institute of High Energy Physics was completely different.

Before, no matter how famous and influential Zhang Shuo was, he was just a "nominal distinguished scholar" at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

To put it bluntly, they are outsiders.

Now that his identity has been directly transformed into a 'sponsor', the experiments of the Chaos Force Field Research Group of the Institute of High Energy Physics have been suspended. If they want to continue their research, they must carry out safety modifications to the experimental equipment and environment.

That would be a very expensive undertaking.

Now Zhang Shuo has the Chaos Force Field Research Preparatory Committee behind him, and is responsible for tens of billions of research and development funds, part of which will be invested in the equipment and environmental transformation of the Institute of High Energy Physics' experimental base. People at the Institute of High Energy Physics look at Zhang Shuo differently.

Wu Jianning, Yu Fei, Deng Yunshan, Zhu Wang...

A large group of people surrounded Zhang Shuo.

Whether it is the chaos force field project plan, the tens of billions of dollars in funding from the preparatory committee, or the large particle collider construction plan that has been discussed, they are all very attractive.

The last time Zhang Shuo came, he also talked about the chaos force field project plan, and also mentioned the possibility of knowing about the large particle collider and building a new experimental base.

The Institute of High Energy Physics had a lukewarm reaction to this. The director, Wu Jianning, was concerned about the source of funding and was even somewhat pessimistic about the so-called plan.

Because the funding required is too high.

Without talking about new physics directions, let’s just talk about large particle colliders. More than a decade ago, the Institute of High Energy Physics advocated building the world’s largest particle collider to replace the positron-negative particle collider whose performance had been eliminated.

When the country has the world's largest particle collider, it will be able to carry out cutting-edge experiments in the field of high-energy physics.

For more than a decade, the Large Hadron Collider has been under discussion. Many top scholars have opposed it, and there is no hope of building it at all, mainly because the funding required is too high.

Now Zhang Shuo has brought news that there is a direct funding of 10 billion yuan to support the Institute of High Energy Physics to transform its equipment. The Chaos Force Field Project Preparatory Committee has been established, and the subsequent construction of a large particle collider seems to be smooth sailing.

Many people can't wait.

Of course, the construction of large particle colliders and large experimental bases will definitely be studied and introduced later. At present, we need to solve the problem of experimental safety and carry out safety transformation of existing equipment.

That's what they want to discuss.

Yu Fei, Deng Yunshan and others have been studying chaos force fields and have experienced experimental explosions on the other side of the earth.

They were very scared when talking about the experimental accident. It was only because the other party did not let them directly participate in the experiment that they were lucky enough to escape.

Therefore, Yu Fei, Deng Yunshan and others attached great importance to experimental safety issues and discussed several points for improvement with Zhang Shuo.

For example, increasing the strength of the binding can also increase the control over the decaying hyperons.

The second point is the isolation of external pipelines and active hyperons. The two cannot have direct contact, and an "active ion layer" is needed in between to isolate them.

The 'active ion layer' is not within the confines of the magnetic field, so naturally no special chaotic force field will be generated.

The active ion layer itself will not react violently even if it is affected by the conduction effect of the force field.

It is also important to establish an electronic automatic early warning system.

Detection devices are added to various locations, and when the detection feedback values ​​show warning deviations, the experiment will be forced to pause immediately.

At the same time, the safety of experimental personnel must be strengthened, including building explosion-proof rooms in the laboratory, establishing air-raid shelters underground, and reinforcing and isolating equipment.

In this way, even if an accident occurs, the casualties and explosion diffusion effect can be greatly reduced.

and many more.

Zhang Shuo and the Institute of High Energy Physics discussed for a long time and worked out a series of security assurance items.

They not only discussed it internally, but also invited several security experts to draft a security transformation plan together.

After this plan is finalized, it must be submitted to the superior.

After approval from the superior, you can get the funds and carry out the transformation. After the transformation passes the acceptance, the next step is to carry out the experiment.

……

It is no secret that the Institute of High Energy Physics' experimental base will undergo safety modifications.

Many people know that
When the news spread, other countries and organizations immediately paid attention.

Research in new physics directions is very important, and chaos force fields are an important part of research in new physics directions.

At present, only Fermilab, the Organization for Nuclear Research and the Institute of High Energy Physics have the ability to study chaos force fields.

An experimental accident occurred at Fermilab. Repairs to the experimental base will take a long time, and restarting the experiment is nowhere in sight.

The nuclear organization was concerned about the safety of the experiment and decided to suspend it directly.

The Institute of High Energy Physics is now undergoing safety modifications, obviously to continue experiments, and in the future it may become a unique institution in the world for studying chaotic force fields.

The research on new physics is very important. It is impossible for other countries and institutions to only focus on domestic research. After the Ministry of Energy received the news, it immediately convened a temporary meeting.

The meeting was attended by several important decision makers, including Fermilab's new director Al Green-LaPole and supervisor Chris Brown.

The experimental accident had a huge impact.

The original lab director, Lea Meminga, and supervisor Zaink were both fired.

Al Green-LaPole and Chris Brown are substitutes.

Al Green-LaPore is a manager sent by the military laboratory, and Chris Brown is the head of the high-energy physics research experimental group at California Institute of Technology.

They came to Fermilab to resume experimental research, but the work was not going smoothly.

The reconstruction of the experimental base and the construction of equipment will take a long time.

When the meeting started, the Ministry of Energy official talked about the intelligence he had received, "The Institute of High Energy Physics is preparing to carry out safety modifications on the chaotic force field experimental device."

"The news we received is that once the safety modifications are completed, they will restart the experiment, and the starting point of the research will most likely be the basic data of the experimental accident."

"The experimental accident was caused by a new physical discovery, which is likely related to the characteristics of the chaotic force field. It contains new physics and even new technology."

"We have fallen behind in the study of gravity. So far, we can only create weak gravitational fields. The strength and technical difficulty are far from reaching the application level."

"We are also far behind in the research of unknown nuclear reactions that can hit satellites and create gold. We don't even know the specific information of the reaction yet."

"Chaos force field is also an important research direction of new physics. They are about to start researching it, and we also know where to start..."

"We believe that we must not fall behind in the research of chaos fields!"

“Therefore, we believe that Fermilab’s reconstruction should be strongly supported so that cutting-edge experiments can be carried out more safely in the future.”

Energy Department officials talked a lot about intelligence, technology, and the decisions they discussed and made.

However, the reconstruction of equipment and experimental bases cannot be completed in a short period of time. Coupled with safety modifications, it may take one, two years or even longer to meet the experimental requirements.

So what we discussed next was increasing cooperation with nuclear organizations.

"We can support the Nuclear Organization to continue its experiments, send more experimental personnel to participate, and share the chaos force field research data with them."

"This way we can immediately conduct experiments in nuclear organizations..."

"Security Question?"

“Of course you should pay attention!”

"We have experienced an accident and have gained experience with special data nodes, so at the same time, we will also support the nuclear organization to carry out safety modifications to experimental equipment."

……

The final decision of the Department of Energy meeting was to support the Fermilab base reconstruction plan, increase support for nuclear organization research, and send more personnel to participate in the experiment.

There is no other way for them to do this.

If it were a normal situation, they would certainly hope to conduct research in an experimental base that they could control, but the damage caused by the experimental accident was too great. If they wanted to start the experiment quickly, they could only join the research of the nuclear organization.

Zhang Shuo also attaches great importance to the experiment of chaos force field.

He couldn't wait.

However, safety transformation is necessary. Zhang Shuo has experienced an explosion and the memory is still fresh in his mind.

That's very scary.

So he takes safety issues more seriously than others.

Zhang Shuo's understanding of the chaos force field is unmatched by anyone else.

Because of this, he knew that external safety protection could not guarantee safety 100%, or in other words, even if more safety protection was done, a major explosion could still occur during the experiment.

After all, when the theory is unclear, no one can control the intensity and speed of the transformation of the chaotic force field.

Zhang Shuo plans to study this issue based on the data nodes of experimental accidents to study ways to limit the diffusion effect of strong transformation.
