From all-round academic master to chief scientist

"Then what are you going to do? After receiving their report, the superiors held a meeting to discuss it. In the end, I thought it would be better to ask you what you think first."

Ma Gaoliang said: "Don't be too angry. After all, this is the case for our domestic environment. Research funding is issued by the state, unlike private companies, so... you understand."

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "I'm not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. There's no need to be angry. I just feel a little speechless."

"Well, just think about it this way and just ignore them for the time being."

Ma Gao said: "What's more, the superiors still believe you more now. We don't know much about technical matters. Although their report said a lot about the problem of the particle accelerator you are building, it seems to be very... It makes sense, but after all, it's you, so you should have your deepest intentions in doing this, right?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "I can't talk about the deep meaning, but from a scientific and technical point of view, what I want to say is that this particle collider must be built."

"And I am certain that more of the particle accelerators I built will have to be built in our country in the future."

Ma Gaoliang asked in confusion: "Why?"

In that report, the people from the Southern Institute of Physics criticized the particle accelerator thoroughly. After reading it, Ma Gaoliang felt that what was written in the report was indeed credible. After all, isn't the particle accelerator? Is it used to study high energy physics?

So if he didn't trust Lin Xiao more, he would probably have been convinced by the report letter.

Lin Xiao just smiled and said: "In the future, we will build many nuclear fusion power stations in the country. This particle accelerator will be used as supporting equipment. Of course, we will have to build more."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ma Gaoliang was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but smile: "Okay, since you said so, I won't ask, as long as you have confidence."

Although Lin Xiao's answer did not seem to be an explanation, the affirmation in his words made Ma Gaoliang willing to believe that he was indeed serious.

"Well, as long as you understand."

Ma Gaoling: "Then how do you think I should respond to the superiors? The superiors are waiting for your explanation."

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "I'm sure, just reply like this."

"You are sure... Haha, not bad." Ma Gaoliang thought for a while, then smiled: "For the above, this reply is definitely the best reply."

"Okay, I'll report to the superiors now."

"OK."

Lin Xiao responded and then hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Southern Institute of Physics?"

It seems that the progress needs to be accelerated, so that no one will always think that he is doing some science fiction every three days.

Hey, it's all science.

Shaking his head, he continued to lower his head and began to study.

But after a while, Ma Gaoliang called him again.

After he answered the call in confusion, he heard Ma Gaoliang on the other side ask: "I have already reported it to the superiors. The superiors asked me to ask you how to reply to the people at the Southern Institute of Physics. After all, you have to explain to them." , but you know your technology best, so I want to ask you."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gave his reply: "..."

…

"'It concerns state secrets, and the relevant disputes are temporarily shelved'? 'We will discuss it later'?"

When these people in the Southern Institute of Physics received the reply given above, they immediately became stunned.

"What do you mean it's a state secret? Aren't we also studying nuclear fusion? Why is it a state secret?"

Liang Ping cursed and said with great dissatisfaction in his tone.

The faces of others also looked a little ugly. This reply did not respond to their doubts about the particle accelerator in the report, nor did it respond to their doubts about the misuse of funds. However, it was the reason for this reply that made them unhappy. I know how to refute.

"It's obvious that the higher-ups are favoring Lin Xiao! How many days have we sent the report? It's only been a week, but the higher-ups have already given a reply. Is this reasonable?"

"It's really unreasonable to say something. There's no response at all, just talk about a state secret. Isn't this blocking our mouths."

Others also complained, and some even proposed a solution: "I think we might as well just post it online. They spend 5 billion to build a particle accelerator, but we don't know how to use these 5 billion." How long will it last?”

However, as soon as this person told him this method, Zhao Nangao, who had been silent for the whole time, glared at him and said, "Shut up, what kind of crooked idea is this? Can this method be proposed? Forget about the deputy director of the Institute of High Energy. Is it a long-term thing?”

As he spoke, he glanced around everyone and said, "No one should think of using this method. Don't blame me for not remembering our old feelings when the time comes."

Everyone present immediately fell silent, and at the same time they really recalled the consequences of the deputy director of the High Energy Institute who had used the same method.

This method of posting on the Internet is indeed seeking death, and it is a big death.

This kind of thing cannot be solved by writing a short composition.

Zhao Nangao said in a serious voice: "Okay, the above has replied like this. This matter is finalized. Before their particle accelerator is built, it is best for us to give up these ideas and wait for the final result in peace and quiet. Bar."

Hearing what Zhao Nangao said, everyone present felt a little unwilling on their faces.

Someone asked: "What would we do if that particle accelerator worked?"

"What should we do? Let's have it cold." Zhao Nangao said: "Although we don't know what their national secret is now, but if their thing is useful, then we don't have to think too much and can wait peacefully to change directions in the future. Study it, because at that time, the Golden Crow Plan may really succeed."

"this……"

The faces of everyone present showed helplessness.

Although they also hope that China can realize controllable nuclear fusion technology, they now hope that the particle accelerator of the Golden Crow Project is meaningless.

They know it is wrong to think so, but based on human nature, they still think so in their hearts.

Zhao Nangao shook his head. He knew what everyone was thinking, but judging from the reply from the above, the trust in Lin Xiao from above could not be shaken by just writing a few letters of complaint.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this kind of reply to frustrate them.

After all, it is an X-ray lithography machine, a foundation of trust laid by room-temperature superconductors.

And if he knew that this reply was even asked from Lin Xiao, then he might not know how to express it.

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it. Everyone, go back and study what you need to study, and don't worry about other things."

When the others saw what the most senior person said, they could only shake their heads and sigh, and then left the conference room while hoping for bad things in their hearts.

…

In the following time, everything returned to normal.

This seemingly menacing report did not make even a splash.

As for the Golden Crow Project, the manufacturing of particle accelerators is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Lin Xiao was not idle either. This June, two of his master's students, Zhao Guodong and Li Min, had their master's thesis defenses, and Lin Xiao naturally had to participate.

Although he has been conducting his own research, he has always been very serious about guiding his students' thesis.

As a result, these two people successfully passed their graduation defenses, and both obtained defense scores of more than 90%.

As for their papers, although they cannot be published in the four top journals like their senior brother Chen Mingkai, they can basically be published in one area.

Therefore, it goes without saying that the two of them were grateful to Lin Xiao.

As for their plans after graduating with master's degrees, they will naturally continue to study for Ph.D.s. Although both of them also want to continue studying with Lin Xiao, obviously, the number of graduate students that Lin Xiao can teach each year is limited, so the two of them also want to continue their studies. Just give up.

However, Lin Xiao also wrote a letter of recommendation based on what the two of them were good at.

"Studying for a doctorate is different from studying for a master's degree. It requires more in-depth academic research. However, I believe that you have already had such a foundation in the process of preparing your graduation thesis. Therefore, I wish you can be a doctoral student. In this stage, there should be more outstanding performance.”

Looking at the two students, Lin Xiao smiled and handed the written recommendation letter to them: "My recommendation letter is still somewhat helpful for you to choose your own doctoral supervisor. I look forward to seeing more of your excellence in the future." Thesis.”

Zhao Guodong and Li Min both nodded excitedly.

Just kidding, this is Lin Xiao's recommendation letter.

Not to mention a little helpful, this recommendation letter is much more useful than a million admission fee.

If you hand over one million, your mentor will just treat you as a money spender, and he might even treat you as a scapegoat. But if you hand over this letter of recommendation, your mentor will probably train you as a direct disciple. Maybe something good will happen to you. They will all think of themselves, and as long as they perform better, it will probably be even worse.

So they know the value of the recommendation letter in hand.

"Thank you Professor!"

"Well, you're welcome. This is what you deserve. However, even if you want to go abroad to study for a doctoral degree in the future, although I shouldn't restrict your own ideas, I still hope that you can come back after graduation."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, both of their eyes turned red. Their tutor had returned from studying abroad.

And as students, they should also take this as an example!

So they all nodded solemnly: "We know, we will definitely come back."

"That's good."

Lin Xiao smiled happily, and then said goodbye to these two former disciples.

For him, the students he trained can finally contribute to the country, which is naturally the best reward for him, and it can be regarded as living up to his hopes and ideals.

…

After dealing with the graduation of the two students, Lin Xiao once again devoted his time to the Golden Crow Project.

Just like that, four months later, the particle accelerator he wanted was built.

The final answers will be verified in the following experiments!
