Chapter 673 [Rejection]

Just as the press conference of the "Landing for Nine Heavens" planetary exploration project was underway, the capital market has already started to move first.

Kyushu Blue Arrow quickly rose by more than 8 percentage points in half an hour in late trading, and individual stocks in related concept sectors are also changing. different degrees of lift.

With the end of the press conference, this news has also become a hot topic today, causing widespread heated discussions.

Domestic astronomy enthusiasts or aerospace enthusiasts are also very excited to see this news. Last year, because "Yinghuo-1" dreamed of breaking into low-earth orbit, they were once hit hard, and it also attracted the yin and yang of many well-known big Vs.

Everyone thought that the failure of "Firefly No. 1" meant that there would be no plans for deep space exploration in the next five years or even longer. As a result, just half a year later, they regrouped so quickly. This time, they not only did it all by themselves, but also It is still so big that two deep space exploration projects will be launched at one time.

However, while the establishment of the planetary exploration project "Landing for Nine Heavens" sparked heated discussions, there were also a large number of well-known big Vs who came out with eccentricities, not only using "Yinghuo No. 1" as an example, but even viciously hoping to fail .

Naturally, a war of competition on the Internet is inevitable.

It is worth mentioning that at the press conference, the engineering team of "Landing for Nine Heavens" did not disclose too many details, but disclosed that the probe is expected to be launched in 2016.

Plans like the ambitious Mars Exploration Project to bring back Martian soil are still kept under wraps, with no details disclosed.

Enthusiasts who pay attention to the field of space exploration have found that the domestic launch missions in 2015 and 2016 will be very intensive in the future. Intensive launches were launched this year.

When the news spread abroad, it also caused a sensation in the international aerospace and astronomical circles.

In recent years, the big eastern countries have been playing bigger and bigger in the field of space. Since the end of the Meisu space hegemony, the investment in space exploration in Europe and the United States has been declining visible to the naked eye.

This has ebbed and flowed, and now the investment scale of the big eastern country has soared exponentially, which has actually attracted the attention of some overseas talents.

Both European space and NASA are very concerned about the planetary exploration project of "Looking at the Nine Heavens". At present, there is the only probe "Cassini" orbiting Saturn on Saturn. It was launched in the past century and entered Saturn in 2004. .

Now that the big eastern country is going to launch a probe in 2016, the equipment and instruments must be more excellent than that of "Cassini". If nothing else, the imaging technology must be more advanced than that of 20 years ago.

If it successfully enters the orbit of Saturn, it will definitely take higher-definition imaging pictures and more accurate data.

Now, when NASA saw the news, it seized the opportunity to play up a wave of Eastern powers competing in the space field, and they would be caught up if they didn't work harder.

But the drunken man's intention is not to drink, but to reach out to the old men of Congress for money.

...

Recently, in the field of aerospace or astronomy, after the approval of the "Sky Mirror" project and the "Sky Survey Space Telescope" project, it was approved by the Natural Science Foundation of China again to launch the "Nine-day Stars" planetary exploration project. The Saturn exploration program and the Mars exploration program received more than 50 billion financial support.

People who are engaged in other scientific research fields are really envious. The field of aerospace and astronomy has become very popular in recent years, and the number of people applying for majors has also increased significantly. This is obvious. This series of engineering projects requires high-level talents. Related employment Jobs have also surged with the launch of many engineering programs.

The key is that the remuneration is very good. The remuneration of these basic scientific research and engineering projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China has increased significantly. This is also to attract more outstanding talents and the new generation to enter the basic field when they choose a major.

Although the older generation of researchers is more difficult, they have high social status and are respected by the world.

Times have changed, and in the current era where money is everything, it is undeniable that many of the young students of the new generation, because of their poor families, cannot even afford a house or marriage for scientific research. Even if they are passionate about scientific research, they have to Bow down for life and choose other majors with "money opportunities".

In scientific research, except for the top talents at the head who do not worry about economic problems, the salary of ordinary researchers at the grassroots level is really low compared with other popular industries.

After all, geniuses at the head are a minority, and the operation of a large-scale scientific research project requires many engineers, and when the salary is not enough to make ends meet, it means the lack of hematopoietic ability.

This has led to the fact that when freshmen choose a major, unless extremely top-notch geniuses dare to enter this field, ordinary talents know that they will not be able to reach the top level, and even buying a house and getting married will be a problem in the future. Not too high would be normal.

Obviously, this will affect the hematopoietic ability of the overall scientific research talent system.

The Natural Science Foundation of China cannot change this environmental soil, but the scientific research projects supported by itself have the right to speak, after all, they have the financial power.

In addition to the top talents at the moment, the average basic monthly salary of general researchers is in the range of 3,500 to 5,000 yuan. For those basic scientific research and engineering projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, the salary level of general researchers directly increases on the basis of the average level of the industry. five times, that is, the basic monthly salary level is 17,500 to 25,000 yuan.

A monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan is the minimum level of treatment. Even if it has increased by five times, it is still not an exaggeration compared with the financial industry and the IT industry.

The remuneration is several times higher than the level of the same industry, which also makes the basic scientific research projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation the unit that many talents in the same industry want to enter. Although this remuneration level cannot be compared with the IT industry and the financial industry, it is considered a high salary.

Quiet Villa.

"Academician Wang of the Academy of Sciences once again proposed to the Natural Science Foundation of China to start the construction of a large-scale particle collider project. The scale of funds involved in this proposal is too large, so I have not made a decision." In the study on the second floor, Yu Qiu is reporting this to Fang Hong matter.

If the budget of a single scientific research project is less than 1 billion, Yu Qiu will discuss and make a decision with the Natural Science Foundation of China. If it exceeds 1 billion, she will report back to Fang Hong and let him decide.

A project like a particle collider looks like a bottomless pit.

Recently, the field of spaceflight or astronomy has received super-large-scale grants from natural scientists one after another, which has also made many people in other fields restless. For example, the field of high-energy physics also needs large-scale financial support.

Fang Hong asked, "How much is the project budget?"

Yu Qiu replied: "According to Academician Wang's estimate, it will cost about 200 billion."

Hearing this, Fang Hong said bluntly, "Reject."

This decision is not against the particle collider project, but because he knows that in the current basic environment of high-energy physics in China, this is a god-level giant pit, and it is impossible to jump into it knowing that it is a god-level giant pit.

Fang Hong looked at Yu Qiu and added: "It's not that the Natural Science Foundation of China can't afford the money. He wants to build a collider, so answer my three questions first. First, foreigners can use their own colliders without the introduction of colliders." Can people operate independently? Second, can the investment of 200 billion assets guarantee the success of research and development? Third, can the 200 billion budget really be capped?"

Fang Hong's reason for dismissing the project was mainly that three aspects had not been resolved.

First, there is a serious loss of basic physics talents in China. The research and development of particle colliders will inevitably introduce a large number of foreigners to operate them. At present, domestic scientific researchers do not have the technical ability to master particle colliders. If it is not your own, it will only make wedding dresses for foreigners in vain.

In the second aspect, the money from the Natural Science Foundation of China is not brought by strong winds. 200 billion is indeed affordable. After all, it is not spent in one year, but 200 billion is also a super astronomical figure. Even Fang Hong has to weigh it. He spends money to support the space field because there are enough talents to support it, it can play well and the future expectations are visible.

The third aspect is that the research and development of the particle collider is a bottomless pit. Fang Hong firmly believes that the current budget of 200 billion is enough, but it is absolutely impossible to get 200 billion if it is really launched. .

This is not the key point. The key point is that success cannot be guaranteed. For example, the construction of the collider depends 100% on Western countries. At that time, hundreds of billions of dollars will be thrown into it. At a critical moment, the West will trip you up and get stuck. Finished the calf in place?

At this moment, Xingyu Technology has already started to get stuck, and it is a proper act of going up to give away the head.

Fang Hong has the advantage of foresight. He knows that the particle colliders in Europe are considering shutting down more than ten years later. The reason is that it is too expensive and the Europeans can't stand it.

This thing not only has a huge construction cost, but also a huge maintenance and operation cost, and the power consumption is astonishing. If a collision experiment is conducted, half of the city will have a power outage.

But at this moment, Fang Hong looked at Yu Qiuru and said: "If he can solve the three problems I mentioned, this project can be approved and started this year. If he can't solve it, then don't talk about it. Honestly, use the existing trumpet collision." Let’s use the opportunity to cultivate talents, let’s talk about internal skills.”

At this juncture, launching a project that is extremely dependent on foreigners, and with a super-large budget of 100 billion yuan, isn't that a proper act of giving leeks for free? With these 200 billion yuan, is it not good to break through the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain?
