Chapter 369 The Same Dream
Chapter 369 The Same Dream
Chief Engineer of Controlled Nuclear Fusion in China!
The weight of this title is much greater than that of an engineer of a single nuclear fusion project.
Before this, China had never established this position. It was a bit like having too many sons to fight with each other.
Even though Kang Chi had just been elected as an academician of the two academies, he was suddenly parachuted in to be the big brother. The burden was still a bit heavy.
In fact, when the Ministry of Science and Technology asked for Kang Chi’s opinion at the beginning, Kang Chi was also shocked.
He was just going to give it a simple try. If it worked, it would work. If it didn’t, it would be fine.
Unexpectedly, the Elders’ Council took this matter so seriously. After coming back to discuss, they directly decided to let him be the chief engineer of controlled nuclear fusion…
And he was also the chief engineer of many major projects such as 006 and H-20S at the same time.
Although these projects are related to each other and he took the initiative to get involved, with so many responsibilities, even Kang Chi felt that the pressure was a bit too great.
Facing Kang Chi’s hesitation and evasion, Chief Shen persuaded him earnestly: “The more capable, the more work. Don’t you also want to help the country avoid wasting resources?”
”We will give you this real power now, so that you can legitimately mobilize all the research and development resources in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in the country.”
”If three months later, you feel that the path of controlled nuclear fusion is temporarily unfeasible, you can let everyone continue to do their own things, and then treat this position as a nominal position and continue to concentrate on Project 006.”
”Even if you think that controlled nuclear fusion is a dead end and that it is necessary to shut down such projects indefinitely, we will support you unconditionally. This is the highest trust and expectation of the Elders Council for you… Do you really want to refuse?”
The words “highest trust and expectation” made Kang Chi unable to find a reason to refuse…
He used to like to put similar hats on Fang Qiang, and it worked every time.
Unexpectedly, Chief Shen would put the hat back today! Any Chinese with a bit of blood and sense of mission should not refuse such an honor.
So Kang Chi finally accepted the appointment.
Amid the discussion of the audience, Kang Chi slowly walked up to the podium.
The discussion stopped immediately, and countless eyes were focused on the face of this young man who has been in the limelight these days.
When Zhong Weijian heard about the appointment, he was shocked and more dissatisfied. But after calming down a little, he suddenly found that this matter did not seem unacceptable.
After all, the young man’s record is too dazzling…
Working under him is not shabby at all, and no one will laugh at it if you tell others.
And Zhong Weijian is already 62 this year. Even if China can successfully ignite the first commercial controlled nuclear fusion reactor in 2050,
That will be 25 years later.
He will be 87 by then. It is still uncertain whether he can live to see the light of controlled nuclear fusion with his own eyes…
If this young man can lead China’s controlled nuclear fusion industry to achieve breakthrough progress and light up the light of civilization in advance, it can be regarded as seeing the realization of his lifelong wish. If it can be faster, these old men may also be able to go down in history and envy others.
Kang Chi looked at the hundreds of scholars below, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke: “Among all the people present, I am probably the youngest, so everyone here is my predecessor. I feel very honored… and nervous to join the great cause of the predecessors.”
”In fact, I don’t know whether it is right or wrong to accept this appointment, and whether there is hope for controlled nuclear fusion. But some things must be tried before they can be known. I believe that all the predecessors also hold this belief, so that they can persist step by step to the present and push China’s nuclear fusion to the current global leading position.” ”At the same time, I believe that you know better than anyone that our current lead is only temporary. We may have only taken the first step in the long march. No one knows how many mountains we have to climb and how many obstacles we have to overcome in the future. We may be stopped by a mountain at any time, and then overtaken by others, or even fall down.”
”Controlled nuclear fusion is the most important scientific research project in human history.”This is one of the projects in the controllable nuclear fusion project. Its success is definitely not achieved overnight. No matter how confident I am and how many brilliant achievements I have made, I dare not make any guarantees in front of this project.”
”I hope that all the predecessors can allow me to do my best to join the great cause of controlled nuclear fusion. In this process, I may sometimes appear a little stubborn, biased, or even extreme, which often makes people feel incomprehensible…”
”But I hope that all the predecessors can give me more trust and tolerance, because we always have the same dream of a strong country. I am as excited as you to ignite the first light of controlled nuclear fusion in China! ”
After a moment of silence, the audience suddenly burst into warm applause.
Although Kang Chi’s words seemed to be a “vaccination” for them, overall, his attitude was very humble and sincere.
And the phrase “sharing the same dream of a strong country” alone was enough for them to respond enthusiastically.
After all, Kang Chi has always used the most practical actions and results to prove his dream of a strong country and his sincerity to everyone.
Looking at the young people full of vitality and hope on the podium, Zhong Weijian couldn’t help but sigh: “Perhaps, only the enthusiasm of young people can tame such a hot flame of nuclear fusion…”
”No.” Professor Cheng Tao immediately shook his head and said seriously, “I think it would only work if there were young people like him, but there is only one such young person in the world!”
Zhong Weijian couldn’t help but smile: “I remember you were pessimistic a few days ago…”
”The situation has changed. ”
“…”
The official did not hide the news that Kang Chi was appointed as the chief engineer of China’s controlled nuclear fusion.
That afternoon, it was announced to the media generously.
This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for Kang Chi, who had just been elected as an academician.
“Awesome!”
“He took charge just after being elected as an academician. Our coach Kang is so handsome!”
“President Kang: Please wait a moment. I will switch to a thunder talent to help you lower the electricity bill!”
“Although our electricity bill is not expensive, who can refuse a cheaper electricity price?”
“Controlled nuclear fusion is one of the energy bases of the Nantianmen Project. Mr. Kang’s hint is so obvious!”
“The Nantianmen Project is confirmed! “Nonsense, what about the South Gate and the North Gate? Our President Kang is just going to build a power plant. Maybe it will burn coal in the end.” “Yes, I think the analysis above is very objective. Controlled nuclear fusion is simply impossible to achieve.” “…” Just as netizens were discussing it, the United States immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss what China meant by suddenly making such a major scientific research appointment.
