Northeast of Qaidam, at the foot of Alkin Mountain...!!

In the desolate Gobi Desert, several electric poles stand alone. From the surface, passing through a rock layer with a thickness of 80 floors, it is the world's largest particle physics experimental center under construction, known as the "Eye of the Future". Surrounding the entire experimental center is a circular particle acceleration tunnel with an arc radius of 5,000 meters and a total length of 31.4 kilometers. The experimental center has a living area and entertainment area that can provide services to more than 2,000 people. The main one is more than 20 national key laboratories, including the "National Particle Acceleration Laboratory". Located in the center of the experimental center is a large nuclear power plant, and the output of the electricity can light up all the electric lights in Shanghai.

The elevator went down rapidly, and Ji Xiaoji's mood also flew.

Half a year ago, Ji Xiaoji learned that the particle physics experiment center under construction needed young scientific researchers who were working hard and hard-working. At that time, she reported to the leaders of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and took the initiative to work in the most difficult places to contribute to the country and the nation. Ji Xiaoji had a big fight with his father for this and had not returned home to visit his father for several months.

In the bottom of my heart, Ji Xiaoji never blamed his father.

As the head of state, it was not easy for her father to fulfill her duties as a husband and father while he was busy. Since childhood, Ji Xiaoji has been very independent and it was her own decision to apply for the major of theoretical physics. Her father did not object to her choice, nor did she force her to do anything or not. She knew that she should not cause trouble for her father, and she could not use her father's position to seek benefits for herself.

Finally, Ji Xiaoji won this opportunity with his personal ability.

A slight sense of overweight came and the elevator stopped steadily.

As soon as the elevator door was opened, Ji Xiaoji saw a familiar face.

"Director Ji, you are here." The person who took the initiative to say hello to Ji Xiaoji was Lian Canchao, a colleague of Ji Xiaoji at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A young man under thirty years old, very motivated and was transferred here to work half a year ago.

"Yes, Xiaolian, what are you doing?" Ji Xiaoji also stopped and looked at Lian Can at the equipment he was holding.

"The temperature sensor on the ground was broken. Director Luo asked me to change to a new one."

"Be careful. The wind is very strong."

"Don't worry. This is not the first time I've done this kind of work."

After watching Lian Can enter the elevator, Ji Xiaoji turned around and entered the long passage.

The "power poles" on the ground are temperature sensors. To be precise, they are a small part of the temperature monitoring system of the entire experimental center. Because the ring particle acceleration tunnel has very strict requirements on accuracy. Even one millionth of terrain deformation will have a great impact on the experimental results. Therefore, all interference factors must be eliminated. The temperature change cannot exceed one thousandth of a degree.

After walking along the passage enough for three cars to drive side by side for fifteen minutes, Ji Xiaoji entered a director's office.

"Xiao Ji, you are so active. I thought you would arrive in the afternoon."

"Director Luo, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. How can I not be active?" As he said that, Ji Xiaoji politely extended his hand and shook hands with the middle-aged man who had just stood up.

He is the interim supervisor here, Professor Luo Yizu, the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Sit down, the conditions here are very simple, and many infrastructures are not built. Look, I treat it as home." Luo Yizu moved several stacks of documents on the sofa to the corner next to it, freeing up a place for Ji Xiaoji to sit on. "Actually, it's much better now than when I first came. At that time, our group of people doing theoretical research were busy with engineering soldiers all day long, and even their tempers changed a lot."

“How long will the project last?”

Luo Yizu poured Ji Xiaoji a cup of white water. "It will take about two and a half years, and at least two years. However, two laboratories have been built, and the reactor was also under trial operation last month. Power can be generated in two days. By the way, there is something here, you must be very interested."

"What?"

Seeing the document handed over by Luo Yizu, Ji Xiaoji hesitated for a moment before taking it.

A mass spectrometry analysis report has more than 80 elements, including twenty-seven elements of the lanthanide and actinide, as well as another eleven rare elements.

"What experiment did you do?" Ji Xiaoji put down the documents and picked up the water cup.

"It's not an experiment." Luo Yi's ancestor closed the door before saying, "Yesterday, several military personnel sent a small piece of material and asked me to help them do mass spectrometry testing. At that time, I felt very strange. I could do such things at any university physics laboratory. Why do we need to do it? Later, I asked them for a copy of this analysis report."

"Is this OK?"

"Don't worry, this place is a top-secret agency. Those who can come in are staff who have signed confidentiality agreements with the country. It's even more difficult to get out."

Ji Xiaoji felt a little relieved. "You started to say that it was a special piece of material?"

"Yes, it's a small piece, less than the size of a fingernail. I can tell at a glance that it's definitely not a mineral, and no mineral has so many elements."

"Can you show me?"

Luo Yizu shook his head. "After the inspection, the military took the things away."

"What do you think?" Ji Xiaoji felt more and more novel.

"It must be artificial materials, but it cannot be naturally generated anyway. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do quantitative analysis and structural analysis."

Ji Xiaoji put down the water cup in her hand, and she had already vaguely realized something.

"But you have the chance to see it."

"What does it mean?" Ji Xiaoji raised his head and looked at Luo Yizu.

"I received a call before you came. The military is preparing to invest 2 billion yuan on our side to take charge of a secret research project. If I guess correctly, it must be related to that special material." Luo Yizu said while picking up the cigarette on the table for 16k and saying wàp. The first cigarette released in the text version, after Ji Xiaoji did not object, he lit it. "Now, we have a serious lack of manpower here, especially young senior scientific researchers like you. I also have to be responsible for the management of the entire experimental center, so I want you to be responsible for this project."

"Me?" Ji Xiaoji immediately showed a look of surprise. "Director Luo, I am still too young and have no much work experience..."

"Where is, who doesn't know that you, Ji Da Tsai, is the number one general of our Institute of Physics. In addition, your doctoral thesis is related to high-temperature superconducting materials. What the military is going to do this time is likely to be high-temperature superconducting materials." As he said that, Luo Yizu laughed, "Also, the military has also asked about your situation. It seems that they also hope that you will lead this secret research."

"this……"

"You think about it carefully." Luo Yizu knew Ji Xiaoji's personality very well and did not ask Ji Xiaoji to make a decision immediately. "After lunch, you come to see me. I will take you to see your office and introduce you to a few colleagues. I will not arrange work for you in the past two days. You can first understand the situation of the experimental center."

"Director Luo, then I'll say goodbye first. I will consider the matter you started."

After leaving the director's office, Ji Xiaoji breathed a sigh of relief. It's really easy to be at home, but it's hard to go out.

At this time, the head of the Republic.

When Peng Maobang arrived, Ji Youguo was watching the video of the game the previous night.

Wang Yuanqing did not take the Chief of Staff to the reception room, but took him directly to the head of state's study.

"Beautiful, I should have played like this long ago. Just play like this, and there is still a chance to turn the tables in the fourth quarter."

"Chief, General Peng has arrived!"

Looking back at Wang Yuanqing and Peng Maobang, Ji Youguo was a little unwilling to accept it and pressed the pause button unwillingly.

"Xiao Wang, go and make a cup of tea for General Peng and bring some fruits here."

"No need, I'll leave after sitting for a while." Peng Maobang said, while giving Wang Yuanqing a look.

Wang Yuanqing knew very well about Peng Maobang's relationship with the head of state. When he left the study, he brought the door.

"Lao Ji, you are so childish." Peng Maobang smiled and took out a document from the briefcase he brought. "The preliminary test results have come out. It is confirmed that it is not a natural occurrence. It must be a man-made object. However, with the current technology of human beings, such things cannot be created at all."

Ji Youguo's expression immediately became serious.

"The detailed analysis has not been carried out yet." Peng Maobang sat down on the chair next to Ji Youguo. "According to the plan, I contacted the experimental center and arranged related scientific research projects. The initial investment will be about 2 billion yuan. In addition, a group of scientific researchers will be dispatched, which requires you to approve them."

"This is fine. Leave the document behind. I will give you a reply after reading it." Ji Youguo walked to the desk and picked up a cigarette. "Lao Peng, you also know that I am more concerned about when the results will be produced."

"If you increase investment in the construction of the experimental center and speed up the construction progress, it can be shortened to one and a half years."

“How much funding is needed?”

“Not less than five billion.”

Ji Youguo obviously hesitated. For the current Republican government, it is not difficult to spend 5 billion to conduct secret research. The trouble is that this is an additional budget, not only is the complicated approval process, but also involves confidentiality work. We must find ways to squeeze out the funds from other places or obtain the funds from other channels.

After pondering for a while, Ji Youguo said: "I will find a way to funding. You are responsible for the recruitment and transfer of relevant personnel. Remember, you must be absolutely confidential and no mistakes can be made."

"The army comes forward to mobilize personnel in the name of secret military scientific research, and at the same time limit the movement of all participants."

"You can do this. After all, it would be too far-fetched if there is no sufficient reason to mobilize thousands of scientists and engineers." Ji Youguo didn't bother with a question anymore. "Just like this, you can arrange it as soon as possible, and I will answer you as soon as possible. By the way, I want to meet those people."

Peng Maobang hesitated for a moment, then nodded to show that he understood the head of state.

"Schedule it tomorrow night. I'll pay to treat them to dinner. Come and introduce it to me."

"No problem. If nothing else, I will say goodbye first."

When Peng Maobang walked out of the study, the sound of a basketball game came from inside. He knew that the head of state was not watching the basketball game, but calming down his excitement.
