Two cups of coffee and finally an ark.

After thanking the Ark, Professor Krebs, who left the coffee shop, boarded a flight home the same day.

Due to physical inconvenience, the Ark did not take him to the airport, but ordered Wang Peng to take him to the airport.

As for what choices he would make, what choices Europe would make, those things would only be known in the future.

At the beginning of the ninth year of the year, in the General Assembly Hall in Shanghai, the successful ignition of the controllable fusion demonstration heap opened the curtain with a message from the presiding officer of the General Assembly and a warm round of applause.

In recognition of the General Assembly, the Elders personally awarded twenty-six gold medals of 585 commemoration and certificates in bright red to researchers who had made outstanding contributions to the demonstration reactor project, and expressed their high appreciation to those scientists who had made outstanding contributions on the front lines of the Scientific Research Front.

It will be recalled that in the spring of 1958, the two departments of the Institute of Atomic Energy Research (now the Academy of Atomic Energy Sciences) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences officially launched a project on magnetic restraint fusion, opening the way to controllable fusion research.

So far, more than sixty years have passed since the study of controllable fusion.

Almost three generations later, this century was finally completed.

This recognition of the General Assembly is also a successful conclusion to this intense scientific research project.

Looking down at the golden glittering medal on his chest, Academician Li Jian, sitting in the room, rubbed his eyes and whispered in a voice that only he could hear himself.

“Teacher, we have succeeded...”

He still remembers that it was New Year '82, and he graduated from Hardworking's nuclear power major, originally desirable to become an aircraft carrier designer, and the words of his mentor revolutionized his destiny and put him into this fierce, controllable fusion research career.

Twenty years later, 20 years later, on a path that seemed like forever full of hope but could not see his head, he regretted and lost his way, but eventually persisted irreversibly and abandoned the position of Oxford Culham Laboratory when his country needed him most, carrying the flag of controllable fusion research back home.

Perhaps the sight of this moment is invisible to his mentor.

But he believes that if his mentor had a spirit in heaven, he would be proud of his choices today, and those he has made...

Sitting beside him, he touched the medal on his chest, and Wang Zengguang Academician's heart was emotional.

“I didn't expect to see the dawn of four generations of nuclear power before retiring, but I did see the singing of three generations of nuclear power. ”

Fissile reactors are inherently expensive sources of energy, and the price of grid electricity is not known how much higher than thermal power, not to mention the production of nuclear waste, which is difficult to process.

Until the final commissioning of the Pangu Fusion Reactor is completed and power is supplied to the grid, it is estimated that there will be no new plans for the construction of the fissile reactor in the country in the future.

“By the way, I don't think our chief designer is an academician yet? ”

Li Jianxian was slightly stunned and laughed: “19 years is so busy, he doesn't have time to judge what kind of academician. ”

The biennial election of academics from both faculties, with two rounds of judging votes from the faculty to the whole faculty, is also quite remarkable in terms of energy involved.

The Ark has been busy with controllable fusion engineering for 19 years, and naturally it is not possible to have time to evaluate any academics.

Thinking of this, Wang Yaoshi had an idea.

“I intend to vote for him when the elections are held next year. ”

“A scholar in his 20s?” Reverend Li stood still and hesitated. “Aren't you a little too young...”

Halfway through the conversation, the old man looked at himself in disgust, and he hurriedly coughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, that's all I'm asking. If he runs, I'm sure I'll vote for him. ”

Academician Wang Zengguang laughed, “You old thing still have a little conscience. ”

Li Huanston was unhappy at the time: "When have I ever had a conscience? But by the way, I voted for him. It's nothing. I'm at least in mathematical physics. You old bastard is from engineering. How can you vote for him? ”

Master Wang stunned slightly and frowned: “Why must I report it to your mathematical physics department? Couldn't you report it to the Energy Mining Department of our engineering institute? ”

“You old thing, you can't be unreasonable," Li Jianxuan cried, “someone else is a Fields and Nobel laureate, I'd like to ask him why he should report it to your engineering college! ”

“Oh, you despise our engineering school? I see this controllable fusion reactor, higher than the Nobel Prize Fields. I don't know where it is! ”

“None of this is a thing! Can you compare this much? ”

The controversy seems to have developed into a strange place.

Whether the ark is the right academician of the Academy of Engineering or the right academician of the Academy of Sciences, the two almost didn't get up their sleeves to dry.

On the other hand, Zhou Shengfu, sitting on the side of the front row of the General Assembly Hall, touched the medal on his chest with a complex expression, which was somewhat unpleasant in his heart.

Although he is one of the meritocrats of controllable fusion research, he always feels like an outsider sitting here. Even from this glory, he felt not only less than a little joy, but even a little irony.

Hanging a pride that doesn't belong to him on his chest is like setting him up on a fire.

Sitting beside him, Master Pan looked at him and smiled and muttered.

“What's wrong? Elder put it on for you, you're gonna take it off? ”

Zhou Shengfu did not speak, his expressionless face did not see what he was thinking.

However, Pan Changhong really understands this old friend.

Sighed, Pan Changhong looked at the podium.

“Whether you did it right or not, it's been almost 50 years. You've had your share of the credit, and this honor deserves yours. Nobody can make the right choices all their lives, and you're loyal to your own research. ”

“And, not only do I think so, but I think so too. ”

At the moment of hearing this sentence, that expressionless face could no longer be held up...

In addition to the 26 585 Medals, 120 Advanced Individuals and 5 Advanced Groups Awards, there is a special Medal.

Approximately 8 cm in diameter, it is cast from 99.9% pure gold and weighs 527 g, with a ribbon between red and black shades that can be hung from the chest. The medal body pattern consists of five stars, stars, olive branches, and light lines.

Its name is "Lingyun”.

As a plan to die on the drawings, perhaps no one has ever thought that the once seemingly insane idea will one day be reborn in the hands of a new generation of scholars, and one day it will produce comparable stars of energy.

The ship does not fully understand the intentions of the designer and nominee of this medal.

After all, he's not from that era, and there's a little bit of a halfway house for controllable fusion research.

However, the index finger rubbed the medal, and from the subtle texture, he could still feel a little bit, which was hidden in the history of the heaviness...
