Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 575: It's Up to You

It is a wish in the minds of all the researchers who have shed their youth and blood on controllable fusion.

Compared to others, in addition to a Ling Yun Medal, the Ark was given an hour to play correctly.

With regard to the future of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project team, the State would also need to take into account the views of his head of the project.

After listening to the elders ask their own questions, the ark thought for a moment and spoke.

“The STAR Demonstration Reactor Base has fulfilled its historic mission and it is no longer significant to retain it. My suggestion is that technicians and some core management should be restructured into new institutions, or integrated into existing ones, to be responsible for the operation of fusion reactors. ”

The STAR-2 Demonstration Reactor Project is a huge scientific research project, and in order to coordinate the scientific research resources among the various research institutions, a large regulatory body to accompany it is also necessary.

But now that the entire demonstration reactor project has been completed, there are not so many scientific research projects to be supported, there are not so many departments and projects to be coordinated, and the rest of the management appears to be a bit swollen and redundant.

The old man nodded and expressed understanding.

“The same was suggested by those on the side of the Nuclear Industry Group and I, who met to discuss the conclusion that the Demonstration Reactor project team would be restructured to include key technical personnel and some management to form a new nuclear power company to operate in a commercialized manner. Currently tentatively named East Asia Electric Power, it is responsible for the domestic fusion reactor project and the construction of supporting facilities for trans-regional power transmission projects in South-East and Central Asia. ”

East Asian Electricity.

Just by listening to this name, it seems that the ambition of the country is quite significant...

There was also a slight surprise in the heart of the ark.

After all, the first fusion reactor installation is now in place, fusion reactors in the south and west have not yet been set up, and senior management has begun to prepare for "support for brothers in the third world”.

In a sense, however, there is some justification for States to do so.

It's better to have solo fun than to have lots of fun and play with the door closed by yourself than to take a group of little brothers and wave with you. The market competitiveness of the entire East Asian region has improved, the influence of China has increased in the region, and RMB's position in the global market will follow the rise of the boat...

But the Ark is not very interested in these things that have nothing to do with research.

Senior Citizen: “The management of the Demonstration Reactor Project Team is currently too bloated, and the newly established East Asian electricity will certainly not be able to eat it all. The idea behind the nuclear industry is that these managers can be repatriated to their original workplaces, and if they can't find one, they're willing to take over part of it, but I always find it a shame to dissolve it in situ. See if there are any more suitable arrangements? ”

“It is unfortunate that it was dissolved in place…” the ark nodded deeply in agreement with the location and said with some emotion.

A huge scientific research project that cultivates not only research dogs who are caught on the front lines, but also countless managerial talents.

The decentralization of those talents and their repatriation to the former workplace would be wasted to a large extent.

After all, the most indispensable talent in the institution is the talent in this area. One thing can only be divided into two parts and divided among four people. This is also one of the reasons for the inefficiency of the State Enterprise in its daily operations.

Not to mention the fact that these people have been separated from their original units for so long that the vacant posts have long been separated. Even if you move back to your original unit, you won't have to be able to find your place.

After a while of reflection, the heart of the ark suddenly moved slightly.

A problem he thought about a long time ago, came out of his head.

“Rather than returning them to their former workplace, they should be kept in a new form. ”

The old man asked: "New form? ”

“Yes,” the ark nodded, "can I tell you what I think? ”

The old man laughed and said, "Of course, what I want to know is what you think. ”

Ark: “I've had an exchange visit with Germany for a while, and I think they have a lot to learn about the management of scientific research projects. Especially with regard to the operational modalities of major, medium- and long-term strategic scientific research projects facing society, science and industry. ”

If the old man thinks, “Like what? ”

Ark: “For example, the Hymholtz Federation's POF funding model, such as the Map Society Open Enterprise Collaborative Network with R&D Institutions, seems to me to be helping to improve the conversion rate of scientific research results in a research system. And the conversion rate of scientific research is exactly what we're missing. ”

China's investment in scientific research is absolutely not weak, even in OECD purchasing power parity terms, ranking second in the world after the United States.

However, the performance of China's research institutions on the conversion rate of scientific research results, in contrast to the huge financial investment, is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Rather, it should not be.

After all, China has a tradition of favouring science and technology in the allocation of resources for scientific research. More inclined to spend money on engineering projects than on science research.

The question of the conversion rate of scientific research results is only one, and there are questions about the efficiency of scientific research and other aspects.

Leading the way on the starting line is not enough if you want to guarantee the advantages of technology.

The technological advantage itself is a dynamic balancing process.

Compared to the study of controllable fusion itself, the Ark hopes to be able to leave behind something other than the results themselves through this large scientific research project.

It's as if the Manhattan plan brought more powerful national laboratories to the United States than just the atomic bomb itself, but also a series of more valuable medium- and long-term scientific research projects, such as Agon and Brookhaven.

For him personally, this would also make his research easier.

“We don't need to learn from the Germans' experience in its entirety, but we can learn from the good parts. ”

“We can, for example, transform this vast scientific organization into a window connecting businesses and research institutions based on the experience of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project in terms of the operating model of the Maple Society and the Heimholtz Federation. ”

“Through this industrial research consortium, we can focus on research on medium- and long-term scientific research projects such as energy, space, information industries, etc., to maximize funding for ‘useful projects’. It also involves suitably qualified social capital and R&D units, not just that part of the system. ”

After listening to the advice of the Ark, the elderly thought about it for a long time.

“You mean, with the rest of the management talent, build a Chinese version of the Maple Society? ”

It would seem correct to understand that.

Better yet, when he was visiting Germany, he had this intention.

The ark nodded: "Exactly. ”

Looking at the ark, the old man laughed and said: "You went out and studied, but you moved all the good stuff back. ”

The ark laughed embarrassingly and did not speak.

Learn this stuff.

Of course, it's not just knowledge, it's good experience.

The index finger knocked on the armrest of the chair, and the old man pondered for a while and said.

“I think you have a point. You can try it. ”

Anyway, those talents are mostly wasted returning to their original units, and he agrees with what the Ark said.

Instead of wasting those talents, let them use the heat from this pilot project.

It would certainly be a good thing if it succeeded.

If it turns yellow, it doesn't really matter.

Besides, there was a precedent for the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies ahead, and he believed that the ark could do the same.

Say it. The old man stood up.

“Just like you said, establish the Eastern Production and Research Consortium! Focus on medium- and long-term topics in research and development projects in the space, energy and information industries. ”

“As for exactly how to do it. ”

“It's up to you. ”
