European Kadakashen ieer center (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor)

The 21st IEEE International Symposium on Controlled Nuclear Fusion has entered its 5th day. The auditorium is packed with people. On the stage, a blond young man in his 30s is "reading" the report fluently.

, hundreds of high-energy physicists from all over the world were sitting in the audience.

"Liu Xiaofeng, according to the schedule of the conference, it will be your turn next." In the last row, a gray-haired old Chinese man looked at the schedule of the conference and told the students around him uneasily: "As long as you can

If you successfully complete the report at the ieer International Symposium on Controlled Nuclear Fusion, you will be qualified to graduate with a PhD."

"Professor Fang, those physicists in the audience won't find fault, right?" Beside him, a young Chinese man in his 30s looked at the old professor beside him and asked timidly: "After all, I

In the paper, most of the theories are...all...imagined."

"Is this okay?"

"Why not?" Professor Fang showed a disdainful smile on his face: "Just like Elkan Campos who is giving a report on the stage now, his paper mainly discusses the types of particles that may appear in nuclear fusion.

and abundance.”

"In addition to most of the rays that have been discovered, his paper mainly discusses the possibility of the existence and possible properties of a high-energy particle called '2ndf'."

"According to the laws of physics, this kind of ray may indeed exist in the high temperature of nuclear fusion, but it is also very likely that it does not exist!"

"But do the results matter?"

"unimportant!"

"Do you understand?"

Professor Fang stared at his student with a pair of sharp eyes.

Liu Xiaofeng looked confused: "Understand...understand what?"

"Alas..." Professor Fang sighed. This student was just too honest. If it weren't for his father's sake, how could it be his turn to participate in the ieer international seminar this year?

However, Professor Fang decided to make it clear. After all, if this disciple was questioned because of his "cowardice", this precious quota would be wasted.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "Do you know how to turn a blind eye?"

"Turn a blind eye?" Liu Xiaofeng looked confused.

"This is an idiom in "The Book of Rites·University"." Professor Fang said with a mysterious smile: "Being absent-minded means turning a blind eye but not seeing, hearing but not hearing, and eating without knowing the taste."

As an expert in high-energy physics, Professor Fang is very proud of his accomplishments in ancient literature.

"Turn a blind eye..."

"Turn a blind eye!" Liu Xiaofeng showed an expression of sudden realization on his face and asked excitedly: "Are you saying that the judges in the audience also know that this particle called 2ndf probably does not exist, but they don't

It will break."

"This way... Elkann Campos's paper can be passed smoothly."

Professor Fang said with a smile: "This is the benefit of our high-energy physics community. Due to the unobservability of particles in the microscopic world, it is difficult for peers to verify whether the paper is right or wrong."

"Every time there is a thermonuclear test, the high-energy physics experts who participated in the test can publish a large number of papers."

"As for whether the paper is correct or not, does it matter?"

"unimportant!"

"If these cutting-edge theories are applied in actual production and life, it will take at least several thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, and they will have nothing to do with us."

Liu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded. He asked in disbelief: "But... the IE Center allows such a randomly fabricated paper to be read out at the conference?"

Regarding his paper, Liu Xiaofeng knew best that he just applied a few old high-energy physics theories, and then made up a new theory based on the data monitored in the nuclear experiment. He himself did not believe it.

theory.

"Of course the ieer center is not stupid, and neither are the judges." Faced with such "stupid students", Professor Fang had to explain more thoroughly: "But how much money does it cost to build this thermonuclear experimental reactor?"

"$12 billion!"

“Where do these funds come from?”

"It was put together by all the participating countries, and we, China, also shouldered 9% of the cost."

"Why countries spend such a large sum of money is not the result of authoritative lobbying by high-energy physics experts like us."

"So, this is a deal?" Liu Xiaofeng was frightened when he heard this secret for the first time: "You used a large amount of the country's scientific research funds to make a deal with ieer?"

"Of course you can't say that." Professor Fang sighed: "Our main goal is to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, and ieer's test reactor is the most advanced reactor in the world."

"The main reason why China joined this project is because we value the prospects of ieer. After all, controllable nuclear fusion is the main energy source for mankind in the future."

"As for the water paper, it's just some discounts that come with it. It's equivalent to shopping on Taomao, and the merchants give you cashback for good reviews in the express delivery."

"In the past few years, your Senior Sister Wang, Senior Brother Fang, Brother Fang... and several other doctoral students have all graduated in this way, so you should not have any psychological burden."

"When some critical experts in the audience question the paper, as long as you stick to your own point of view, you can pass the test smoothly."

"Do you understand?"

Only then did Liu Xiaofeng fully understand.

He has had a dream of being a scientist since he was a child, looking forward to becoming a great scientist who can change human history. With the support of "not short of money", although his talent is limited, he successfully "passed the exam" as a "sponsored student"

A doctoral student of a professor. After three years of hard study, he knew that he could not graduate successfully relying on his own ability. At this time, "not short of money" once again gave him hope of graduation.

And this temple that he had always longed for during his student days suddenly looked much uglier.

"Buzz... buzz..."

Professor Fang took out a mobile phone from his pocket in confusion. In order to avoid disturbing the order of the conference, he had set up a blacklist in advance before the meeting began, so that only a few numbers could call in.

"Hello, Minister Zhang." Professor Fang saw the number of the caller and immediately answered it loudly regardless of disrupting the order of the venue.

"Yes... I am attending an international academic symposium held by the ieer center in Europe. You also know that based on the last experimental data, we have already seen the dawn of victory."

...

"What?"

"Mozi Technology is preparing to launch a controllable nuclear fusion project?" he exclaimed.

Several foreign scientists who were disturbed in the front row turned around, Mozi Technology...the controlled nuclear fusion plan...they showed thoughtful expressions.

"Yes...yes...I'll go back to China right away!" Professor Fang hung up the phone and said anxiously to his students: "There's something big going on in China, I need to go back immediately."

"You just do as I tell you, do you understand?"

Liu Xiaofeng nodded numbly.
