Chapter 298 Morning Star, a Special Medal!

Xu Chuan also woke up after Zheng Haiyi reminded him.

That's right, he is the general manager of the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion into Electric Energy" project.

And before, for this celebration banquet and commendation meeting, Wu Weizhao had specially found him and asked him to serve as the general manager for a period of time.

If he didn't go, how could this celebration banquet and commendation meeting be held?

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan also had a headache.

Although he didn't care about these honorary awards, he couldn't help but consider the other researchers and engineers who worked hard for this project in Qidong.

Without their dedicated work and efforts, this project would not have been completed so quickly.

A celebration banquet and commendation meeting hosted by the state is still very helpful to others, whether it is the future scientific research path or the promotion path.

"When will the celebration banquet and commendation meeting be held?" Xu Chuan asked after thinking about it.

Even if he didn't care, he couldn't help but consider the feelings of others.

Even if it was just an ordinary construction worker, it was worth praising. After all, this is what they deserve.

"Three days later, at the National Auditorium in Beijing." Zheng Hai replied quickly.

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Three days? OK. I'll be there on time."

Three days is definitely not enough for him to complete his research on plasma turbulence, but it shouldn't be a big problem to organize his thoughts and record his inspirations and ideas.

Fortunately, he has found the way. If he was interrupted while he was still in the research state, he would really be unable to cry.

"Anything else?"

After agreeing to attend the commendation meeting, Xu Chuan turned around and prepared to close the door and go back to continue studying plasma turbulence. He noticed Zheng Hai still standing at the door motionless, so he stopped and asked curiously.

"Professor Jiao, even if you are doing research, you have to take care of your health."

Zheng Hai was silent for a while, but still persuaded. When he returns to Beijing this time, he must give feedback to the higher-ups. No matter what, he must be assigned a life assistant or medical staff.

This state of not caring about life in research is really scary.

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know."

Three days is not a long time. After finishing his research work, Xu Chuan went out to find a barber shop to cut his hair and tidy up his appearance.

After all, it was a commendation meeting held in the National Auditorium. He couldn't run there in a sloppy manner. He still had to pay attention to his image.

In mid-August, when the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, Xu Chuan dragged his suitcase and took the high-speed rail to Beijing with Zheng Hai.

In the National Auditorium in Beijing, the commendation meeting for the successful acceptance of the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration Conversion Electric Energy" project kicked off with a speech from the host of the meeting and warm applause.

Xu Chuan sat in the front row, with Professor Han Jin, the project supervisor, on the left and Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer of the project construction, on the right.

Compared to Xu Chuan's calmness, the two of them obviously couldn't control their emotions. Their faces were flushed with excitement, and their eyes were full of hope, expectation, satisfaction and other emotions.

As the familiar old man walked onto the stage, thunderous applause suddenly surged in the auditorium.

The old man first congratulated and congratulated the perfect success of the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration Conversion Electric Energy" project, and then praised and encouraged everyone's efforts and hard work, saying that they are the backbone of the country, and expressed his high gratitude to these scientific researchers and engineers who have made outstanding contributions on the front line of scientific research.

Afterwards, the old man personally awarded six unique golden "Nuclear Power Medals" and bright red certificates to Xu Chuan, Han Jin and other scientific researchers who made outstanding contributions to the project.

Standing on the stage, Han Jin looked down at the golden and red medal on his chest that the old man personally wore for him, and his heart was filled with excitement and pride.

This medal is mainly gold, with elements such as Tiananmen, five-pointed stars, and rays of light, while the medal chain uses elements such as Chinese knots and flowers.

It symbolizes the great contributions that the winners have made in the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration Conversion Electric Energy" project, highlighting the demonstration and leading role.

There is no doubt that this is the affirmation and praise of his motherland and his nation!

Suddenly, he thought of something, and turned his head slightly to look at the young man standing next to him and taking a photo with him.

If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have the opportunity to stand here this year, let alone wear this medal on his chest.

Compared with the contribution made by this person in the entire project, what he did was just a drop in the bucket.

On the other side, Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the nuclear energy project construction, also had some feelings. He never thought that one day he, a builder, would be able to stand on this stage and accept such an award.

In addition to the six "Nuclear Power Medals", there are 68 advanced individual medals and five advanced group medals.

These are also to commend the efforts and contributions made by the winners in the entire project. No matter how great the project is, someone needs to tighten the bolts. Without the struggle of these grassroots personnel, no matter how great the project is, it is impossible to complete it.

In addition to these, what Xu Chuan and everyone in the auditorium did not expect was that there was a special medal in the commendation.

"Morning Star Medal!"

This is a gold medal made of 24K pure gold, weighing 378 grams, with a unique ribbon of five colors: golden, dark green, pure white, bright red and black. The main pattern of the medal is composed of five-pointed stars, Tiananmen, sky, rays of light, stars and other elements.

Morning Star, the star of tomorrow!

This is the meaning of this medal.

It is not only a reward for Xu Chuan, but also a symbol of a new day, a symbol of the morning, a symbol of hope in confusion, and a symbol of leading the direction; it also means that he is the beginning of tomorrow and the star of hope for the future of the country.

And the unique ribbon has another unique meaning. Yellow, green, white, red and black are the colors of the five-colored stones used by Nuwa to make up the sky in the legend. Its meaning is undoubtedly taken from the legendary Nuwa making up the sky.

In fact, for nuclear energy, the ultimate defect is undoubtedly the extremely difficult to handle nuclear waste, which can pollute the earth, just like the flood in ancient times, causing disasters to the world.

Now, this biggest defect has been made up, the development of the nuclear energy field will usher in a comprehensive leap, the energy crisis will be solved, and China will also usher in a prosperous tomorrow.

Xu Chuan's fingers gently slid across the surface of the medal. He felt the heaviness of the medal, not only because of the heaviness of the medal itself, but also because of the heavy sense of responsibility and expectation hidden in it.

Morning Star, the star of tomorrow.

The design of this medal is undoubtedly unique.

But I don't know if he can take on such a responsibility

In a thunderous applause, the commendation meeting came to an end, which was also a wish in the hearts of all the scientific researchers who had shed their blood for "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Convergence Conversion Electric Energy".

For Xu Chuan, he gained not only two medals and honorary certificates, but also a heavy sense of responsibility and expectation.

Following the guards, he came to the Beihai Island on the north side of Chang'an Avenue again.

As the general person in charge of "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Convergence Conversion Electric Energy", he should also make a report after the project was successfully completed and accepted.

Of course, more importantly, this time he came here at the invitation of the old man who worked here to handle state affairs.

Originally, Xu Chuan wanted to rush back to continue his research on plasma turbulence after the commendation meeting, but after the meeting, the old man personally found him and invited him to come here to chat today.

"Professor Xu is here, please take a seat."

In the hall, the old man who had been waiting here for a long time saw Xu Chuan and stood up to greet him with a smile.

Xu Chuan shook hands with the old man respectfully and sat aside.

"I heard from the Science and Technology Information Department that you have been staying up late to do research recently. You should pay attention to your health. Your health is your capital. You are still young and you have a long time to do research. You can take your time to do anything." The old man said kindly.

Xu Chuan said: "I'm sorry to worry you. I will pay attention."

The old man smiled and said a few words of concern before turning to the main topic: "I'm bothering you to come here this time. I mainly want to talk to you about some things in the field of nuclear energy, including some technologies in the project of reusing nuclear waste for power generation."

"You say." Xu Chuan replied quickly.

The old man sorted out his thoughts and slowly said: "Under your leadership, the nuclear energy beta radiation energy gathering and conversion into electric energy project has achieved perfect success. There is no doubt that the value of this technology is huge."

"But now the project of Qidong's nuclear industrial park has been completed. I want to hear your views on the subsequent development of this project, including whether this technology can be exported to foreign countries in exchange for some of the technology we need."

After listening to the old man's question, Xu Chuan also figured out the key to finding him today.

On the one hand, he asked about the future planning of the nuclear waste power plant in Qidong and wanted to hear his opinion, after all, he is still the general manager.

On the other hand, he asked about the feasibility of exporting this technology.

Of course, this so-called export is not to exchange technology with foreign countries, but the feasibility of building the same nuclear waste power plant abroad.

After all, nuclear fission power generation now accounts for a considerable proportion of the electricity supply in some countries, especially in Europe, where some countries even account for nearly half of the energy supply.

And the amount of nuclear waste accumulated in these countries is much more than that of China. How to deal with nuclear waste has been a recognized world problem before.

Now that they have mastered this technology, if they want to maximize its use, choosing and "helping" them is a good choice.

After all, countries that can master nuclear fission power generation have more or less some technologies that China needs.

If they can use this technology to exchange for some, it is indeed a very good choice.

For China, they don't even need to take the initiative to come to the door. After the nuclear waste reuse power generation technology was made public more than two months ago, some countries took the initiative to come to the door and put forward various conditions to exchange or purchase this technology.

Although there are many people who are tempted, for the senior officials who understand this technology, there is still a more worrying point when they want to use this technology to help those countries.

That is the radiation gap band theory used in the nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration conversion power project.

In theory, this technology can be applied to invisible coating materials, and they are already developing it.

But to be honest, the conditions offered by those countries that proposed the exchange are also quite tempting, and many of them are in short supply.

Of course, they also want to ask if the person in front of them has any technology or things they want.

After all, it can be said that the nuclear waste reuse technology was accomplished by him alone. From theory to construction, the state only provided some basic things.

What they provide can basically be replaced by other developed countries. The key point lies in the person in front of you.

In addition, there is a controllable nuclear fusion project.

Compared with the first two, the last one is what Xu Chuan cares about.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "To be honest, these issues are not within my ability."

"After all, I am just a scientific researcher. It is my job to study science and technology. But after the technology is developed, how to use it to achieve maximum benefits. I believe you know better than me."

“As for the technology needed, I personally don’t have anything that I need.”

"But I suggest exchanging a magnetic mirror + magnetic hoop dual control technology from the Germanic country. This technology is used for controllable nuclear fusion, and we can use it in the future."

The dual control technology of magnetic mirror + magnetic hoop is a technology jointly developed by Germany and the United States. He had used it when he was studying controllable nuclear fusion at Princeton in his previous life.

But at that time, he was using superconducting materials that he had developed himself. Although superconducting materials have not yet been developed, he should make preparations.

The old man nodded when he heard this, recorded this need, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay if we get top-notch CNC machine tools. After all, top-notch CNC machine tools have many uses."

The old man shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid this is more difficult, but we will try our best."

Compared with the previous magnetron and magnetic mirror technologies, the latter is one of those devices that Western countries have always banned from exporting. They had talked about it before, but they were directly rejected.

CNC machine tools are known as the mother tools of industry, and their importance is self-evident.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "You don't have to start from Germany. In fact, the one next door to us can also be used. Although it is a little inferior in comparison, it is enough for us."

The old man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You can try it."

Compared with obtaining CNC machine tools from Europe, it is indeed easier to obtain CNC machine tools from their neighbors. Although they don't like this neighbor, in comparison, it is more important to strengthen themselves.
