Chapter 192: Start Working
After making this decision, Yu Yifeng first called some physicists and expressed his strong support for this super project.
Science is the first cause, and all the necessary instruments will be available.
After hearing this, Ding Yidong, Felix and others were relieved and rubbed their hands on the phone, looking very excited, as if this mountain in the physics world was about to be conquered...
Such a large project can no longer be completed by a laboratory. Yu Yifeng is needed as the leader to connect the entire industrial system and the entire civilization.
Then, he began to contact the heads of major laboratories such as the Wild Wolf Design Bureau and the Tesla Institute as well as the Kinov Industrial Factory to discuss specific matters...
This behemoth called the "Super Hadron Collider" has a very large amount of engineering and design. Moreover, it has a particularly large demand for new materials such as superalloy series and superconductors, which requires detailed overall planning.
After half a day, a long list of engineers, designers, and scientists was pulled out, estimated to be 6,000 people.
These more than 6,000 staff members will be fully responsible for the design of the super hadron collider within two years, while the Kinov Industrial Plant will be responsible for the manufacturing of related machinery. These 6,000 core staff members, plus the miscellaneous construction teams, logistics teams, non-staff personnel, etc., involve a total of 15,000 people!
This super hadron collider is also the largest super project of mankind since the completion of the spacecraft transformation plan!
This is the benefit of the current economic system. For mankind to climb the technology, such an economic system is very convenient, and most of the power can be concentrated on doing a big thing.
If more than 15,000 high-tech talents of this quality were placed on the previous earth, the annual salary alone would be more than 2 billion US dollars, and the expenditure would be huge. In addition to the massive new materials and complex manufacturing processes it requires, the entire project cannot be completed without a trillion US dollars.
The large hadron collider on Earth cost tens of billions of dollars and was completed with donations from dozens of countries. If the subsequent operation and maintenance costs are included, the total amount will reach 90 billion US dollars.
But the current super hadron collider is ten thousand times more powerful than before. According to the original economic scale of the earth, it is no problem to say that it costs trillions.
Think about the 270-kilometer circular track, which covers an area of 5,804 square kilometers, which is about the same as a large county town. It requires a lot of government negotiations, procedures, demolition, etc., which is very troublesome.
The land on the earth is very precious! Even if the track is buried underground, how much engineering work is needed? !
Add to that a lot of expensive new materials, a lot of reconnaissance facilities, and a lot of machinery... It's almost a trillion dollars.
A trillion-dollar project, used for scientific research? It's just a joke...
Even if a trillion dollars is placed in a superpower, it's already a bit too much. The annual GDP of the United States is only 20 trillion.
With such an economic scale, it is no longer acceptable for ordinary people to concentrate on a scientific research project.
If a country really wants to do this, there will definitely be large-scale protests, and some people will definitely say that the government is wasting taxpayers' money; some people think that developing this kind of technology is useless to human daily life, so why develop them?
Of course, there will be some saints who think that this money is not as good as improving the poor mountainous areas... Some people even think that the hadron collision will destroy the world...
There are many difficulties in this!
Even a trillion dollars, Congress cannot approve it, and the government does not have so much money.
If it gets too serious, even the president will step down!
This is determined by the paradigm and thinking mode of civilization. The original human society will not be able to make this machine in a few decades.
But now, everyone has held a meeting for less than a day. When Yu Yifeng made the decision, the heads of major laboratories acted quickly and began to draw up a specific list of staff.
Then, work will start tomorrow!
The whole time, one day!
As for the economy? Money? Is it useful? Go to hell!
This is the cohesion of the new human civilization. In one day, the entire civilization can be mobilized to do a big thing.
The most important thing is that a group of people are still happy and excited, just like chicken blood...they have red eyes and pounding hearts, and they can't wait to start work now!
Everyone knows the significance of this. If the "supersymmetry theory" is really verified... It's incredible. The entire physics building will be rewritten! Human beings have at least gone from being ignorant to knowing a little. This will be a leap forward!
This group of scientists, designers, and engineers all want to witness history and want to be a part of history!
Which unruly citizen dares to object? Guaranteed to be drowned by spit!
...
When Yu Yifeng returned from the opening meeting exhausted, he saw a document sent by Xu Yunjin on the computer screen.
It detailed the criminal record of the "great scientist" Zhang Peng...
"What's going on?"
Yu Yifeng first blinked hard, thinking that he was dazzled.
He is still in a state of extreme mental excitement. Suddenly, he saw that this great scientist who invented superconducting materials was arrested and detained. It was incredible.
He read it several times in a row and confirmed that he saw the name "Zhang Peng", that is, the great scientist.
What about kicking over flower pots, destroying public property, and molesting women?
These are all recorded in detail by surveillance cameras, and are almost ironclad evidence!
"He also used a barber robot to shave his head?"
He simply didn't know what to say. Could it be that a healthy person suddenly became mentally ill? Yu Yifeng thought so subconsciously.
If it can be treated, it should be treated. After all, he invented the epoch-making superconducting material, so he should have talent...
Speaking of which, the manufacture of the super hadron collider is largely due to superconducting materials. Without these superconducting materials, its cost and engineering volume would be many times higher. The large amount of liquid nitrogen refrigeration has a low fault tolerance, high cost, and is very troublesome. This is not something that humans can bear at present.
He patiently continued to read on.
Under the diagnosis of many psychological experts, Zhang Peng seemed to be diagnosed with split personality, that is, multiple personality disorder... According to the description of the experts, a personality suspected to be an alien appeared in Zhang Peng's head, and he wanted to compete with him for control of his body. These absurd things were done by another alien personality.
Anyway... all kinds of tones and behaviors look no different from a madman.
Yu Yifeng frowned tightly. Zhang Peng might have been stimulated by something that caused the mental illness. He has now been locked up in a mental hospital, which is actually a larger cell, and is receiving treatment from experts.
After reading the report, he took a deep breath and understood why Xu Yunjin sent this report.
The main reason is that he is a great scientist.
The government does not confer the honorary title of "great scientist". Everything is called by civilians based on the knowledge level and contribution of scientists.
What Xu Yunjin is worried about is that if this continues, a privileged class will be created that is outside the law.
If Zhang Peng is not a great scientist, this kind of thing would not be told to Yu Yifeng at all, and he would be directly locked up in a mental hospital.
After all, Yu Yifeng is a civilized leader, and it is impossible for him to take care of the food, drink, defecation and urination of more than 50,000 people and nearly 60,000 people.
"Will scientists become a privileged class? Especially great scientists?"
Yu Yifeng thought about it and did not take it to heart. The current phenomenon of the whole people advocating science is a good thing. The total number of scientists on the Noah actually accounts for more than half of the population.
Zhang Peng, the "great scientist", is completely different from other great scientists I met today, both in terms of personality charm and other aspects.
Such individual cases always exist...
If from now on, he can only invent superconductivity, he will only be considered lucky. The title of great scientist will naturally disappear slowly.
"As for the alien personality?"
Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng always has an inexplicable and weird feeling, but this feeling is very faint. Thinking about it again, he is really too busy now, and his schedule for the past few days is completely full. Compared with the hadron collider, Zhang Peng's request can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
Let's go and see it when I have time in two days...
He sighed secretly, and then stopped thinking about it. After washing up, he took off his clothes and went to bed. Soon, his breathing became even, and he had entered a deep sleep...
