Spark

(The body is still a little repetitive, take another day off)

The Tehran strategy is like an undercurrent under water. No one will bring it to the table, and no third-party force will unknowingly explore the unknown details, even the United States.

They just observed quietly, maintaining the most basic tacit understanding, as long as they didn't touch the bottom line, they didn't plan to intervene immediately.

After all, they still need Tehran as a "source of conflict" to help them maintain their presence in the Middle East, and some "nuclear"-related handles they left there are also warning them not to act rashly.

Therefore, competition in the communications and semiconductor industries has fallen into a strange silence. Unless the sanctions are implemented and the cards are revealed, no one can predict the final result.

——

On the contrary, the competition in the field of energetic materials has fallen into a "hot war". The United States can be said to be unscrupulous in building momentum for its chosen research direction. There are as many as ten summits and symposiums on energy materials, and the invited researchers are all over the world.

Of course, they were not so petty that they skipped Huaxia and refused to invite them. In fact, the total nitrogen anion salt team of Nanjing University of Technology also received an invitation letter, inviting them to participate in the International Energy Materials, Power, and Energy Storage Conference to be held in Los Angeles next month. Materials meeting.

However, the scientific research team represented by Hu Bingchun is temporarily undecided about whether to participate.

In the office, Hu Bingchun scratched his head while repeatedly studying the invitation letter in his hand. After a long time, he asked:

"So they really plan to push the total nitrogen anion salt with all their strength? This is a good thing for us. However, it always feels uneasy to invite us over at this time."

"You said, they won't trick us over there, and then we won't be allowed to come back after being detained there?"

Hearing his words, Liu Zuliang, the deputy, couldn't help laughing, and replied:

"That's not to say that if they actually did something like this, it would mean that their academic credibility basically hit rock bottom."

"From now on, no country, institution or scholar will dare to cooperate with them, nor will they dare to set foot on their land again."

"The negative impact they will suffer will be huge - the talent base that has finally been stabilized by the talent introduction plan is estimated to be completely disintegrated."

Hu Bingchun nodded in agreement, clicked his tongue twice and said:

"I actually think so too. They shouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing."

"But, I really don't know whether to go or not."

"According to reason, we should go. After all, the lineup of this meeting is very strong. Sheriff from Idaho, Malenkov from Pardubice, and Brooke from NCC in the UK will all participate."

"It can be said that the strongest scientific research forces in the world will gather in Los Angeles. It is a bit of a loss for us not to communicate with such a good opportunity."

"Moreover, it is said that the technical details of the total nitrogen high-pressure method will be disclosed this time, which is of great reference value to us."

"But if I say go, I'm hesitant."

"After all, the two of us are now in an obvious position of opposition. I worry that if we go there, it will be over-interpreted as something bad."

"On the other hand, I really don't want to provide them with any ideas or any help."

"It's really hard to choose."

Liu Zuliang on the opposite side also frowned. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"Actually, the first question you worry about is unnecessary. Academics belong to academics, and political matters belong to politics. As long as you report to your superiors in advance, they can't get stuck with us on this kind of matter."

"Especially in the past two years, after the influence of the Xinghuo Group has grown, the domestic academic atmosphere has improved visibly, and the old bureaucratic thinking can be ignored."

"As for the second point of communication, it's a process of mutual benefit. It's impossible for us to prostitute them for nothing, or we always touch their heads to cross the river. When it reaches a certain level, we always have to bleed."

"Compared to these two, I'm more worried about the other point."

"What are you worried about? Didn't you say that security issues don't need to be considered?"

Hu Bingchun asked suspiciously.

"It's not a security issue. What I'm worried about is that they use us to build momentum and seize scientific research resources that don't belong to them."

"You also know that our Nanjing Institute of Technology team is currently the team with the deepest research and the most achievements in the field of total nitrogen anion salts. If we go to their meeting, it will be an obvious signal to the global scientific research circle. .”

"They can use this to make a fuss, or they can use tiger skin as a banner. At that time, we will instead become their stepping stones."

"Well, there is indeed a risk."

Hu Bingchun couldn't help but twitched again—unlike many scholars engaged in scientific research, his hair volume was particularly abundant.

But this is not necessarily a good thing. After scratching a few times, his hair has become a mess and looks rather unkempt.

Unable to make a decision immediately, the two people in the meeting room fell silent for a while.

It's not an easy choice for them.

From the perspective of purely scientific research, they all hope to participate in this academic conference that can be called a rare "event". After all, there are so many industry leaders gathered there. Research is a huge help.

But from the perspective of "strategic scientific research", they were unwilling to participate, because they all knew that this meeting could not be pure at all.

After five full minutes, Liu Zuliang finally raised his head. He looked at Hu Bingchun and asked tentatively:

"Otherwise, make a phone call and ask the leader?"

"If they suggest to go, then let's go --- there's no point in our own struggle here!"

"Makes sense. Hit!"

"But who are you calling? Are you calling Chen Guo directly?"

Hearing Hu Bingchun's question, Liu Zuliang couldn't help being stunned.

Logically speaking, the superior of their project team is the Natural Science Foundation of China. If there are any major decisions, it should also be the Committee for Instructions.

But in the past two years, the responsibilities of the Natural Science Foundation of China have gradually begun to be merged into the management of Spark, and their jurisdiction has actually shifted.

Of course, what is transferred is the jurisdiction of scientific research itself, and the sequence of administrative subordination has not changed.

In other words, scientific research-related matters are managed by Spark, and administrative-related matters are managed by the committee.

So, a question arises here:

Is this a research-related matter or an administrative one?

The two looked at each other, and they didn't bother to discuss any more. Since they were not sure, let's call them both.

So, Hu Bingchun immediately picked up the phone.

He called the committee first, and the committee's answer was extremely succinct:

Find Chen Guo.

So, he hurriedly called Chen Guo again. After explaining the situation, Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was still hesitating:

"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. I may have to organize an internal study to confirm the risk and then give you an answer."

"You judge for yourself that there will be no safety issues, but you don't understand some situations, and your judgment may not be accurate. In addition"

“Don't go there is nothing to do”

However, before Chen Guo finished speaking, a vague male voice came from the phone, and that male voice obviously interrupted Chen Guo.

Hu Bingchun immediately pricked up his ears, he already guessed who the speaker was.

"Don't go? Why?"

Chen Guo's voice was a little puzzled.

"There is no need to take risks, and there is no need to take a one-ten-thousandth risk."

The male voice became clearer, as if it was approaching the microphone.

"I read their invitation, isn't it the total nitrogen high pressure method? It's out of date."

"Tell Mr. Hu that if this kind of meeting is to be held, it will be held here."

"They use high-pressure methods, so we will use chemical methods to ensure that they are more attractive than them."

Chengdu.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian curiously, and asked:

"We really want to hold a summit by ourselves? What do you mean by chemical method? Chemical method to synthesize all nitrogen anion salts?"

"Although I am not in this field, I have read some briefings before. It seems that this direction is still immature?"

Hearing Chen Guo's question, Chen Nian nodded slightly, and then replied:

"Holding a summit by yourself is only an option, not to say that it must be done."

"But of course, if we decide to do it, we can do it."

"Actually, the biggest attraction of the US conference is their high-pressure total nitrogen synthesis technology. Almost all the institutions and scholars who are invited and confirmed to participate are all for this technology."

"But I also said that this technology has long been outdated. In essence, they are still clinging to their own high-pressure physics solutions that they are good at."

"If we can come up with other solutions, we will definitely be able to step on Laomei hard."

Having said that, Chen Nian paused for a moment, then continued:

"Back to your question, the technology of chemically synthesizing all nitrogen anion salts is indeed immature, but"

"Isn't that because I haven't shot yet?"

Seeing the slightly "smug" smile on Chen Nian's face, Chen Guo couldn't help feeling amused.

"So you are already ready?"

"That's not—it's not this time, but I know it's not too difficult."

In fact, what Chen Nian said was not an exaggeration.

The total nitrogen anion salt synthesis technology was one of the most difficult scientific research projects at this point in 2008, but after 15 years, as the Nanjing Institute of Technology team used chemical methods to achieve stable synthesis for the first time, the difficulty of scientific research in this field is as high as An avalanche typically begins a rapid slide.

After a series of developments, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid and ferrous glycinate were used as cutting reagents and auxiliary agents respectively, and the method of oxidative fracture at room temperature and low pressure was rapidly matured and perfected.

Although Chen Nian did not earnestly understand this field in his previous life, nor did he read related papers, but on the premise that the basic principles and key elements are known, combined with the material science knowledge he has mastered in this life, Even if no systematic addition is required, he is confident that he will find out the laboratory preparation method of the total nitrogen anion salt within one to two months.

More importantly, for the special product of total nitrogen anion salt, under the premise of using chemical methods, the biggest difficulty is not the tediousness of the experiment or the complexity of the process, but the danger of the experimental process.

Why is the team with the fastest research speed in China from Nanjing University of Technology?

It's not because they are born to deal with explosives, and they are especially experienced in handling explosives.

However, this difficulty did not exist for Chen Nian.

He doesn't need to actually go to the laboratory to verify his conjecture, but can use the source point consumption instructions provided by the system to eliminate wrong options in a way similar to "thought experiments".

——

This will not consume too much time for him, because the steps are basically determined, and all he needs to do is to verify the specific parameters and processes of certain links

Seeing Chen Nian's confident expression, Chen Guo also felt relieved.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"How long do you estimate it will take to complete the first laboratory preparation?"

Chen Nian made a calculation in his heart, and answered:

"Three weeks, on the premise that redundant time is reserved."

"Okay, then let's organize a meeting by ourselves as you said."

"I will release the news as soon as possible, and try to grab people from the United States as much as possible."

Chen Nian was not surprised by Chen Guo's decision.

In fact, although he himself said that "to hold a summit" is indeed an act of anger, but from a higher-level perspective, this is indeed a necessary step in the development of Huaxia's academic research.

We must continue to publish results, organize exchanges, and use summits and conferences to expand our influence, in order to form a wider range of academic exchanges, and ultimately make Huaxia a center of academic research in the world.

And this time, it is a good opportunity.

The United States has already done the preliminary work. As long as we follow the trend and produce enough amazing results, we can pick up their peaches.

Why not do it?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian nodded solemnly.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to speak:

"It's best not to set only one agenda for the meeting, and add the metal hydrogen to your agenda."

"At present, the equipment is completely ready. I estimate that in about a month, although the finished product will definitely not be produced, some 'results' should be produced."

"clear."

Chen Guo nodded, and wrote down the latest schedule in her notebook.

In a month's time, the results of two new technologies across the ages will be released.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it seems a little weird.

But Chen Guo knew that in front of this young man, nothing was impossible.
