150 Cataclysm 9
The mushroom cloud dissipated much later, and the comrades of the Central Advisory Committee were truly shocked by the power of science compared to the enormous power of the telescope, which was initially insignificant in the telescope. There are so many questions to be asked, but no one is responsible for making a summary report to the Central Advisory Committee.
Earth-shattering mushroom clouds don't equal everything. Is the explosion that has already occurred a real nuclear explosion? What is the explosive yield? How much nuclear material has been fissioned? What is the radiation situation after such an explosion? The technical team is in full swing to carry out follow-up monitoring and data analysis. Therefore, the comrades of the Central Advisory Committee could only ask Chen Ke, the original designer.
Under the excited "onlookers" of the comrades, Chen Ke rarely felt lazy. In addition to answering the principle of nuclear weapons, he replied with "I really don't know the specific implementation". This has undoubtedly drawn a line for everyone, and the veteran comrades all know the truth that "there is an end to their lives, and there is no end to their knowledge." There is no point in being overly curious.
Zhang Yu was the one in the party who understood Chen Ke the most, and he asked, "Is this the ultimate weapon?" ”
"That's not true, it's the atomic fission technology that is now used, and the atomic fusion technology can be developed on the basis of that. That's what makes the sun shine. Chen Ke didn't have the high-spirited appearance of the past at all, but spoke in generalities.
Zhang Yu keenly discovered Chen Ke's train of thought, "In other words, we are not willing to use nuclear weapons to attack other countries?" ”
In a sense, the atomic bombing was a landmark event for him to truly return to his own time, Chen Ke did not feel excited, but had a deep exhaustion after a long journey, and finally crossed the finish line, he slowly replied, "Yes." This thing cannot be thrown as a weapon on Earth. Nuclear weapons bring not victory but destruction. What is the point of a war if it ends in destruction? ”
Chen Ke has never had such an attitude of "ending here", in the past he always kept moving forward, but now it is not Zhang Yu who finds that things are wrong, but other old comrades of the Central Advisory Committee who have found things wrong. Chen Ke's expression was indescribably tired.
You Yu suddenly smiled, "Wen Qing, I didn't expect you to be afraid of one day." ”
"Tens of billions, don't be afraid to come out of ghosts!" Chen Ke smiled bitterly, "I have confidence in the young comrades, but my confidence cannot determine the actual progress process. If you don't succeed, it's naturally a bunch of trouble, and if you succeed, you will have trouble. ”
You Yu quickly figured out the trouble after Chen Ke's success, and she asked, "Have you invited those who oppose it to see the experiment?" ”
Chen Ke did just that. The "accomplished" academic representatives among the opponents were all brought to see the experiment. When Chen Ke and You Yu came to meet these people together, the scene at the beginning was quite embarrassing. Chen Ke told these people that the nuclear test had been successful, proving that this line of thinking was correct. There was silence in the room.
More than a dozen people attending the meeting were all well-known scientists related to this profession, and they were also representatives of direct opposition to Chen Ke. Everybody, you look at me, I look at you, I don't even know what to say. In the scientific community, prestige takes a long time to accumulate, and the time to destroy prestige is much shorter. Opposing Chen Ke can be said to be a double-edged sword, and if successful, it will naturally be able to establish its unshakable influence. Even if Chen Ke makes things difficult through administrative means, these people are capable of resisting.
But after Chen Ke succeeded, these people were nothing in the academic world. They will be labeled as "nothing more". While many of the young technologists involved in the development of nuclear weapons are their students, they have little to think about any further developments at this latest scientific frontier. No one will want to accept them into this field.
"Teacher Chen, I was wrong." A middle-aged intellectual said with a look of remorse on his face. Among the group of people who oppose Chen Ke, this one has the most special position. Most of the others received their university education in foreign countries, and he was the only one who studied entirely in China when Chen Ke started the microscopic field of physics in China. Theoretically, he was a student of Chen Ke. In the scientific community, which is very particular about inheritance, openly opposing teachers, even if it is not about deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, it can be regarded as gambling on everything.
"You're not right, if this experiment doesn't work, are you right?" Chen Ke was quite helpless about this guy's statement, "Science is about the laws of nature, and personal cognition has nothing to do with the laws of things themselves." ”
Chen Ke's words made the participants a little confused, if this is the winner's mockery of the loser, then Chen Ke will not let these people come to see the experiment, there are many ways to make these people ruined. But it's clear that Chen Ke is not here to play co-optation. Placing a group of former opponents in the position of head of a new frontier discipline is unconscionable and unconvincing. What's more, Chen Ke completely excluded these people in the process of research, and it is even more impossible to let them come back now. So they all waited for Chen Ke to continue.
"Everyone knows that I have always been anti-feudal, and the manifestation of feudalism in the field of science is obvious, a person has the right to dominate a certain field, he only has to be responsible upwards, and in this field, he has the final say. These mountains, big and small, collude with each other. No matter what kind of collusion law, no matter what kind of struggle method is between the mountains, it is in their interest to maintain the system itself. I've always been against this. Chen Ke didn't care what the expression of the person listening to, he continued straightforwardly, "This time, everyone can say that I am the biggest mountain in the scientific community. Because I have the right to allocate funds, the right to transfer personnel. The other hills can't oppose me at all, and they can't oppose me. But in my own opinion, this method is also inherently unscientific. If my thinking is wrong, the more power you have, the more you wield, the worse the failure. ”
Hearing this, the participants couldn't understand what Chen Ke meant at all. If you have to describe it, Chen Ke seems to think that everyone here is the same dog, and the difference is very limited in nature.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the current investment in science is simply not comparable to what it used to be. Edison, the inventor king in the United States, had a fire in his laboratory, and the money lost would have to be hundreds of millions of yuan if converted now. The money we have invested in the development of nuclear weapons, as well as the development of related technologies, and the money for actual production after the development of the technology has been popularized, is on a scale of several hundred billion. If the same military management system is developed with this nuclear weapon, something will definitely go wrong. If it is the feudal system, it will definitely not work. In the new era, I think how to break the old system and how to establish a new scientific research and development system is something we all need to consider. ”
"So Chairman Chen, how are you going to adjust?" Finally someone asked.
"I'm not sure how to adjust, but first of all, there is a rule, the process of national scientific research project approval must not be like now, and I alone have the final decision. To do so is unscientific in the first place. Chen Ke replied.
The participants couldn't help but look at each other, and Chen Ke's words were even more terrifying than they imagined.
"We don't think we were thinking enough at the time and didn't take into account the needs of the country's strategic direction. At that time, if we could pay more attention to experiments, basic science research, and theoretical innovation...... "Some people began to test Chen Ke.
"It has nothing to do with this, I can say that the process of nuclear weapons development itself is abnormal. Even if it succeeds, it doesn't mean that you can continue to do it in the future. Chen Ke didn't think about himself at all. This couldn't help but make You Xuan's slender Danfeng eyes narrow slightly. She could see that Chen Ke was determined to attack the scientific community.
The room was silent again, and if Chen Ke had taunted the defeated opponents with the posture of a victor, perhaps these people would have had the courage to resist. Now, in clearer terms, Chen Ke expressed a sense of despair as he tried to destroy the old system that was forming in the scientific community.
These people began to oppose Chen Ke, and when they began to be excluded from the new R&D system, they knew that the matter would not end so easily. As Chen Ke frankly admitted, Chen Ke's success is a victory for the system, and as the leader of the People's Party, Chen Ke was able to mobilize unprecedented capital and personnel investment. If Chen Ke retains this system, these people actually have a way to fight it, that is, wait for Chen Ke to die.
Chen Ke is not an immortal, he cannot live forever. As soon as Chen Ke dies, all this power will eventually fall into the hands of those who are in power under Chen Ke. Chen Ke is just a person, and a strong leader like him has never been the norm. Even a handful of leaders in history who are strong enough to lead the times cannot lead all important fields like Chen Ke. As soon as Chen Ke dies, everything will be over, and everything will be "back on track". Everything will be back in the hands of the strong.
Therefore, this nuclear weapons development is only a temporary failure, even if these people themselves have no so-called future, but as long as the system on which they depend does not change, these people can have the last laugh.
It was clear that Chen Ke had no intention of letting them have the last laugh. If it were other leaders, these people in the scientific community would just not be so afraid. In the face of the "own people" in the scientific community, in the face of the Chinese scientific community, it can be said that the most "meritorious" person. If there is no way to discredit Chen Ke's reputation, if it cannot be proved that everything Chen Ke does is an accidental success, then the new system that Chen Ke is trying to establish is destined to have irresistible appeal. This has nothing to do with Chen Ke's life and death.
