Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 697: Another Year in the Winner Season

While the Ark can sense some reluctance on the part of the two pilots for their new identities, it is gratifying that they have not brought their emotions into work and learning and have done every task with great seriousness.

And most importantly, the two elites selected in the test fleet, whether out-of-clock training in an underwater simulated weight-loss environment or compressive training in an in-centrifuge simulated overweight environment, have achieved quite excellent results.

There is no need to say more about subjects such as skydiving and field survival training.

After becoming full pilots, these are compulsory subjects for them.

In fact, Xiangrui's physical fitness requirements for its members are not particularly high compared to those for high-thrust manned rockets. Even ordinary people are able to ride such spacecraft because the acceleration overhead in the atmospheric environment is twice the G-value. After entering near-Earth orbit, the Hall thrusters will switch to outer space mode and fly at lower engine thrust with priority given to the thrust ratio.

But that's what I said, but we still have to be prepared.

That's it, time passes day by day, and it's almost December.

Another annual Nobel Prize dinner, scheduled for Stockholm's Blue Room.

Although the Ark, like other surviving Nobel laureates, had received an invitation from the Swedish Royal Family and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had asked him if he would be interested in attending the diplomatic scene, it had been politely rejected after repeated consideration.

First of all, the research work is too busy to walk away from, and second of all, it doesn't mean much to show off to others. He prefers to receive awards to others. While the food in Blue Hall is quite memorable, it doesn't make him miss the need to go.

In addition, David O'Sharon and Arthur C. Gossard were the recipients of this award for their research in the field of semiconductor spinning electronics.

The former holds a Ph.D. in physics from Cornell University and is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the latter is a bull in materials science and computer engineering, and is also a professor at Santa Barbara.

Outstanding scholars like this who are proficient in both fields are few in this era of highly segmented disciplines, and it is even more difficult to achieve outstanding results in two different fields. However, it is precisely this difficulty that is beyond the reach of the average person that underscores the importance of the results of their research.

In particular, the discovery of the theories of quantum limiting the quantization of the Stark and Hall effects not only implies major physical breakthroughs, but also has very far-reaching implications for the chip industry.

In fact, a few years ago, people were constantly predicting that they would be awarded the prize, but unfortunately they had gone all the way.

Now the prize is finally in the hands of both of us, and it is truly famous.

It is worth mentioning that websites have been predicting whether Professor Lu will be considered for this Nobel Prize in Physics, and even a number of people have placed bets on him on a well-known gaming site.

However, as expected by the Ark itself, the Nobel Prize jury will not consider awarding group research results, even if the research on controllable fusion is good enough.

But the Ark estimates that this is just one reason, most likely because it just won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Otherwise, the theoretical model of plasma turbulence is the driving force of the world's controllable fusion engineering research, and it is more than enough to qualify for a prize.

And then there's the HE-3 atomic probe technology.

As a generous man, he does not mind sharing the millions of kroner in prizes with his old friend Professor Lazerson.

Meanwhile, a message came from East Asian Electric just the day the Ark decided to drop the Pigeon Prize dinner.

After a year of construction, the Houhe Fusion Reactor was finally built in Daya Bay. It is expected to complete the final commissioning before Internet access by the end of the year, and start delivering clean and inexpensive electricity to the two broad, deep market and Xiangjiang areas on New Year's Day.

The current installed capacity of the power station has reached 11,000 MW, exceeding the total installed capacity of the former Daya Bay nuclear power plant. Subsequent heaps will also continue to expand the generator set and eventually align to the total installed capacity of 100,000 MW of Pangu heaps.

Also in December, the South-East Asia Transregional Grid Project has entered its final phase, with the Kim Oo and Rear Rear Rear Reactor, located in the north and centre respectively, also completing a phase, which will be ready for use by next autumn.

At that time, controllable fusion will cover all power grids in East China, South China, North China and Central China, and phase out some highly polluting thermal power plants.

It was said that, as a result of the rear heap, proposals for the dismantling of the three gorges had also been put forward at the previous General Assembly, and that a green water green mountain in the middle and downstream of the Yangtze River. However, the pros and cons of this matter are very controversial in the academic world, so it's gone in the end.

On the other hand, ITER's desire to negotiate with other ITER member countries has grown stronger with the completion of the heap.

If, a year ago, they had room for confidence that they would be able to replicate the success of Pangu heap in up to five or six years, then by now, whether or not they were still so confident in their scholars and ITER itself, the Chinese state was pushing them away from the gap in energy and driving the energy revolution. The determination and the courage of their lives have made it impossible for them to wait any longer.

The Ark was not very clear about the concrete progress of the negotiations or what exactly the country had exchanged from the European and American countries, but from the invitation extended to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to accompany the mission to Stockholm, progress should be fairly smooth.

After all, if the negotiations do not go well, the authorities will certainly not dare to risk his fusion engineer, the chief engineer.

I couldn't help but sigh when I thought I had missed so many interesting things and stood on an ark in front of the training room.

Looking at the two teeth trembling on the vibration test bench, he said with some regret.

“Envy...”

Wang Peng, standing next to the ark, stunned slightly.

“Envy? ”

Wang Peng's gaze at the ark suddenly became strange after looking at the two pilots who were lying on the vibration test bench wanting to die.

What's there to envy about this...

“Well," he said without noticing Wang Peng's eyes. "Don't you want to go up to heaven? ”

Wang Peng: “Heaven... are you referring to space? ”

“Otherwise? ”

Wang Peng thought about it for a while and shook his head: “… I probably never thought about flying that high. ”

The ark sighed and asked, "What is the maximum height of your parachute? ”

Wang Peng: “The highest time… is about 6,000 meters. ”

In general, the parachute jumping is accomplished at an altitude of less than a thousand meters, at which point the temperature and pressure outside the aircraft do not drop too much, nor do the parachute jumpers run the risk of freezing or hypoxia.

A skydive of more than 5,000 metres is a dangerous thing, even for special forces. No one chooses to jump at height unless it is a last resort, for example, when the plane is close to a sensitive area and cannot drop altitude.

“Up to 6,000 meters?” I don't know what I was thinking, the ark laughed and threw down a phrase that was hard for ordinary people to understand, "Maybe after a few years you'll be back in the army, a thousand kilometers of skydiving is a routine. ”

A thousand kilometers?

Wang Peng stunned consciously and laughed.

I didn't expect that Professor Lu, who has always been strict, also made mistakes about the unit...

From a thousand kilometers of altitude, I was afraid to wait for someone to come down and become a popsicle.
