Chapter 16 Not worth mentioning
On the other side of the ocean.
Beautiful Country, Princeton University's Physical Laboratory.
The windows are covered tightly by airtight thick curtains, and the surrounding walls are covered with special sound insulation and temperature sensing coatings. In the huge laboratory, the lights are brightly lit, and hundreds of huge instruments are making crackling sounds. The large screen in front is flashing with dazzling white light, and obscure experimental data are scrolling and playing...
Hundreds of scientists wearing white work clothes and protective equipment are closely following and recording the experimental data in front of them. No one whispered to each other, and no one looked around.
The atmosphere is depressing and mysterious.
"It's done!"
A middle-aged white professor in his fifties shouted excitedly, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone else.
The white professor is named Feigeson. He is the leader of the Nuclear Physics Research Team of Princeton University and one of the people at the forefront of the global nuclear battery field.
There are more than 200 people in the entire research team, all of which are composed of doctoral students, including more than 30 top professors.
Fegerson's academic strength can be seen by being able to stand out from more than 30 top professors to become the group leader.
The research team led by him is the most luxurious existence at Princeton University in terms of member size and scientific research level.
Even this beautiful country's No. 1 institution has specially approved astronomical research funds for them, and the instruments and equipment they use are the best in the world!
They have only one task, which is to overcome the nuclear battery bottleneck at all costs.
Everyone knows very well that compared with wind energy, solar energy, etc., nuclear energy is the real future of mankind. Only by mastering nuclear energy can one be invincible in the next technological game!
Although Western countries led by beautiful countries vigorously promote wind energy and how good solar energy is, it is just to paralyze the world. They themselves do not think so, and whoever believes will lose.
In this regard, all countries also agreed on the surface, secretly researching nuclear energy behind their backs and keeping their silence.
I believe you so much.
You bad old man is very bad.
But nuclear energy cannot be broken through overnight. Since the outbreak of science and technology in the last century, humans have not made substantial breakthroughs in nuclear energy for decades.
The shackles that plague the continued development of nuclear energy have all become problems of the century without exception.
Countless great scientists are trying one after another, but they can only make optimizations on a small scale and cannot break through the bottleneck.
Once successful, everyone knows what that will mean.
Germany, with the success of the second and third energy revolutions, each established the position of world hegemony in one fell swoop. The opportunity for the fourth energy revolution is coming soon. Whoever can grasp it will be the new guardian of peace.
This is something vested interests absolutely do not want to see.
To this end, Beautiful Country invests huge amounts of money in nuclear energy research every year.
In an attempt to use the world's most money, the wisest scientists, and the most advanced instruments to pry this huge cake...
But unfortunately, over the past few decades, their achievements have been very limited and can only be barely applied to the field of space exploration, and it is still far from real popularization.
The last breakthrough was more than a decade ago. Professor Pierre, the chief scientist of Nasa Laboratory, forcibly increased the output power of nuclear batteries by 30% at the expense of battery life.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this method of fishing out of the water is obviously not the right way to study nuclear batteries.
To this end, Professor Fergeson led his team to fight for more than two years and finally made a pioneering breakthrough today!
"Professor Fergeson, what did you say?"
The rest of the people immediately surrounded him and looked at Fergeson with confusion on his face.
Feigeson laughed, took out the freshly baked experimental data, and said excitedly: "I said we have succeeded! Look at this, the latest reaction model is very mature. Judging from the data, it can increase the power of nuclear batteries by about 18%. Unlike those of Nasa, we have no side effects!"
"At the same time, the amount of radiation generated by the radiation volt model can also be greatly controlled. Looking at this table, it is reduced by about 27%!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of surprise, and their mouths widened, and their breathing began to become rapid.
It's like a dream!
Two years!
Who knows how they lived in the past two years!
Hundreds of failures have already developed their strong hearts, but when they heard the news of the successful experiment, they still couldn't help but shed tears!
Finally succeeded! It was too difficult!
The laboratory, which was originally silent and depressed, was suddenly filled with excitement and excitement.
As everyone gradually entered the carnival, someone finally came back to his senses from joy.
"Professor Fergson, we need to write the paper right away!" he reminded in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Fergson nodded suddenly.
He knew very well that there were not a few organizations in the world that started nuclear physics research projects like them, and Western countries, White Bear Kingdom, and Xia Kingdom were their number one competitors.
Even in our country, there are many top universities such as Harvard, Yale, and MIT.
Although Princeton is the nominal first institution of beautiful countries, the gap with the latter is very small. Regardless of capital, equipment and overall scientific research strength, the latter is not much weaker than itself!
Most importantly, they all received grants from Congress!
I have made a breakthrough here, and they must have made a similar progress. I have said that I will start publishing the papers before I can.
"Quickly, send the experimental data immediately and let them write the paper and publish it quickly, and don't delay it for a moment!"
Fergeson shouted.
Everyone came to their senses and showed a solemn expression on their faces.
"Professor Fergeson, do we post article?"
article is the second only to top journals in the physics discipline. It is also called a high-level journal in the industry and ranks in the second district in the SCI search system.
It includes various categories such as material physics, theoretical physics, magnetic fields, photoelectricity, astrophysics, etc., and has considerable influence in the physics community.
If article journals are compared to domestic first-class athletes, then the APS series of papers are definitely international athletes!
In terms of intuitive data, it is: the impact factor of the article journal in District 2 is 5.1, while the top journal under District 1 APS has the highest number of 58.9!
The gap between District 2 and District 1 is just like the gap between ordinary domestic first-level athletes and Bolt.
"No!" Feigeson shook his head and his eyes firmly: "Let's send prc!"
"RPC under APS? Wait... Zone 1?" Everyone showed surprise eyes.
Although their research results are impressive, they only increase the power of nuclear batteries by less than 20%, far from reaching a completely break through the bottleneck.
With such academic quality, the second district of SCI is stable, but the first district of SCI is somewhat ineligible.
Is this too risky?
But if you think about it carefully, everyone also understood Professor Fergeson's profound meaning.
Ultimately, the nuclear physics field has been stagnant for too long, like a polygon that has become infinitely close to circles.
It is easy to go from 3 to 4 sides, but from 999 to 1000 sides, it will become difficult to reach the sky.
As the saying goes, the taller ones among short people. Although they only increase the power by 18%, they only increase the power by 1%, 2%, or even optimize the layout, which is undoubtedly much stronger.
Most importantly, everyone knows that other universities and research institutions are also busy conducting research on nuclear batteries. In terms of scientific research strength, they are not much weaker than themselves.
In District 2, everyone is only between the two, but when it comes to District 1, any defect will be infinitely large!
Whenever any field reaches its peak, no one can make a breakthrough, but who makes fewer mistakes.
In this regard, he has absolute confidence.
Watching the assistant jogging all the way and sending the experimental data out, a professor said gloomyly:
"Foreign scientific research institutions should not be underestimated. For example, Xia Kingdom, Huzhou Kingdom, and Baixiong Kingdom are all scientific research powers..."
Fergeson shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Wuzhou has long fallen out of the ranks of world-class countries. If you push forward for a hundred years, their scientific research is indeed very strong, but now, at best, it is at the second-tier level."
"Although the White Bear Kingdom is stronger, it is not worth worrying. The so-called β-decay battery they developed last time was simply laughing. With less than five watts of poor power, they actually dared to claim to have made a breakthrough! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
At present, the entire scientific community is mainstream with alpha decay batteries. The move of the White Bear Kingdom is tantamount to returning as it grows back and forth. In the eyes of scientists around the world, they actually give up the mature alpha decay and go to study what kind of garbage beta decay?!
As a result, a small amount of watts of power was created?
What's the best of a few watts?
So the charger for Apple phones doesn’t need a few watts!
In their opinion.
There are β-decay projects, one is counted as one, and they are all selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, and they are trying to deceive the country's scientific research funds in a variety of ways!
After everyone laughed, Fergeson added: "As for Xia Kingdom, that's even less worth mentioning."
"Scholars in their country are fine to publish low-quality papers, but they have no share in this cutting-edge field. According to intelligence, the nuclear industry of Xia State is at most similar to that of Baixiang State, and is at least 25 years behind the world-class level! Their nuclear power technology is currently at the second generation level, with only 11 nuclear power units, and the maximum power is only about 650,000 kilowatts. We have already broken through the third generation and have now reached the threshold of the fourth generation. At the same time, the number of our nuclear power units has reached 103, and the maximum power exceeds one million kilowatts. What do they compare with us?"
"This is just the overall nuclear power technology. If they are subdivided into cutting-edge fields like nuclear batteries, they are even worse!"
"And it is said that they have believed our deception and are now addicted to solar energy. It is said that even the base for nuclear physics research has been abandoned, tsk..."
When everyone thought that Xia Guo was still stuck in the drum and was devoted to making some solar energy, they couldn't stand up straight when they laughed.
A cheerful laughter suddenly came from the laboratory.
...
at the same time.
Other top universities in the beautiful country also received news of breakthroughs in scientific research at Princeton University and began to carefully prepare papers.
Years of hard research have not been found in nothing. The reason why it has not been published for a long time is that it has not fully met everyone's psychological expectations.
Even incomplete results are enough to shock the whole world!
that's all.
High-level papers from top universities are constantly pouring into the official email address of the APS editorial department.
Chapter completed!
