Chapter 447 Xinghai Research Institute Is Established

Naturally, Xu Chuan didn't know about the discussion of these newly recruited students.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

If you want to graduate from him, don't even think about it without some real materials. He couldn't afford to lose that person anyway.

After leaving the office, getting in the car, Xu Chuan went straight to the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Experimental Reactor Base.

Of course, the name of this place has now been changed. It was separated from the original controllable nuclear fusion project and changed to the 'Xinghai Research Institute'.

Today is the first day of the official establishment of Xinghai Research Institute. As the director of the institute, he will definitely go over and preside over related work.

Of course, more importantly, there is a meeting to discuss and arrange the next development of controllable nuclear fusion, aerospace technology and other directions.

At ten o'clock, the ribbon-cutting ceremony started on time under the auspices of Xu Chuan. With the deafening sound of firecrackers and colorful ribbons flying in the sky, Xinghai Research Institute was established.

This is a domestic ‘pilot’ research institution modeled on the combination of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the Max Planck Society.

Through this institute, a complete transformation of theory-application-industrialization process can be realized, and cooperation with most domestic enterprises can be achieved without any barriers, which greatly saves the time and process of research and development technology projects.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed in the morning, and a high-level meeting was held in the afternoon to familiarize relevant personnel.

However, in fact, except for Wen Yuanhang, who was arranged by the Strategic Planning Department to provide daily management assistance, and some leaders and researchers in the aerospace field, most of the personnel at Xinghai Research Institute were actually acquaintances.

After all, they were all people who originally worked on the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project, and they all knew each other somewhat.

After the establishment of Xinghai Research Institute, aside from logistics, maintenance, planning, docking and other departments that have little to do with scientific research work, four research institutes were temporarily divided.

They are the ‘Energy Research Institute’, ‘Aerospace Research Institute’, ‘Information Research Institute’ and ‘Materials Research Institute’.

Under these institutes, different research laboratories are divided.

For example, in the Energy Research Institute, in addition to second-generation, third-generation and miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion laboratories, there are also research laboratories in the battery field, nuclear energy research laboratories, thermal energy research laboratories, etc.

As you can tell from the name, these research laboratories have a clear division of labor and are responsible for research in different fields.

The controllable nuclear fusion project is a super project, especially after researchers and engineers from major research institutions have been deployed. In the later stages of the construction of the demonstration reactor, the entire project alone had nearly 3,000 researchers.

Even if about one-third of Fusion Energy Company's personnel were transferred, there would still be more than 2,000 researchers and engineers left.

It is no small matter to make arrangements for so many people.

Fortunately, Wen Yuanhang, Han Jin and others assisted in these tasks, otherwise he would not have the energy to do other things just to deal with this matter.

After the middle and senior management got to know each other, the rest was undoubtedly a meeting to discuss and the work arrangements of each department and research office.

After all, Xinghai Research Institute currently supports more than 3,000 people, and the daily expenses on personnel salaries and other aspects are a huge amount.

Therefore, after the institute is officially established and all personnel are successfully hired, the relevant research work needs to be started as soon as possible.

As for this kind of work involving specific research projects, Xu Chuan alone cannot control all the details.

Of course, he does not need to control all the details and planning and allocation of research projects.

Now in his position, he only needs to make requests, plan directions, and then communicate with the heads of the four sects to determine whether it can be done, and then allocate them.

As for the specific method and how to achieve the goal through research and development, that is the internal work of each department and each research laboratory.

After disbanding the mid-level and high-level exchange meetings, Xu Chuan left behind the heads of the four institutes, Wen Yuanhang, the director of daily affairs, and the two vice presidents Han Jin and Zhao Hongzhi, and held a small high-level meeting.

"As for the research work of each sect, the four responsible persons can send me the relevant plans and arrangements after they return. I'll take a look here first."

"In addition, regarding the main research goals of each research institute, I will assign them here and you can take note of them."

Hearing this, the four persons in charge took out their pens and prepared to take notes.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan continued: "The first is the Energy Research Institute, and the next main goal is the direction of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion. There is no problem with this, right?"

Liang Qu, the head of the Energy Research Institute, nodded quickly and said: "No problem, the route of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion is a direction that has been set for a long time, but how to do it will be discussed at a follow-up meeting."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, we'll talk about this later."

"In addition, in addition to miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion, I will assign another task to you."

"In the field of batteries, we can arrange for manpower to carry out research. Whether it is the field of lithium batteries, hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, or molten salt stack batteries, they can all be used as directions. You can give me a follow-up report to see what is suitable. field of research."

Now that controllable nuclear fusion technology has been solved, batteries are undoubtedly one of the hottest research areas.

Whether it is various electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, electric new energy vehicles, or other medical, aerospace and other fields, they are inseparable from high energy density batteries.

Although the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute under his personal name is also researching lithium batteries, there is no conflict.

Pure lithium batteries cannot occupy all market areas. Even after he solved the problem of lithium dendrites, there are still a large number of fields that use different batteries.

Liang Qu quickly recorded the task and then said, "Anything else? Academician Xu?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied, "Second-generation and third-generation controlled nuclear fusion can also be studied and arranged, but there is nothing else for the time being."

"Of course, if you have other suitable research directions, you can also submit a report to me and I will review it."

"No problem."

After talking about the work of the Energy Research Institute, Xu Chuan turned to look at the person in charge of the Aerospace Institute.

"The main direction of the Aerospace Institute is engines. Later, the Xinghai Research Institute will set up a project to restart manned space flight and even lunar exploration."

"And my current requirement for you is to design and conceive a high-thrust engine. This work is very important."

"As for the current work, you need to sort out the general direction and feasible related technologies first. I will come to the meeting to discuss with you after I have seen it later."

The person in charge of the Aerospace Research Institute, Weng Yunzong, was transferred from the Sichuan Aerospace Research Institute. Maybe because he was an outsider, he didn't say much, but just nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Xu Chuan didn't care too much and continued to arrange the directions and goals of the four independent research institutes.

From today on, the Xinghai Research Institute has officially set sail.

And it has only one goal.

That is the sea of ​​stars!
