Wang Hao attaches great importance to the upcoming large-scale domestic materials conference, because the conference is related to the funding of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Materials Foundation for various directions of superconducting research.
For any scientific research institution, funding is always the most important thing.
Deng Huanshan's superconducting material experimental group does not have to worry about funding, but other related experimental groups still need funding.
For example, the computing group does theoretical research and is not affiliated with the Superconducting Materials Industrial Company. Naturally, they receive funds allocated by the science and technology support department.
In addition, he hopes that more material groups can be added to the research, which naturally needs to be taken seriously.
A week before the meeting started, Wang Hao discussed the meeting with Deng Huanshan, Fu Xiangdong and others.
After that, I had a private discussion with Fu Xiangdong about the project issues of the computing team.
The calculation group is studying the two-element problem corresponding to the semi-topological theory, and will further demonstrate the correlation of two-element combinations, as well as further three-element combinations.
These are the basis of the semi-topological superconducting mechanism, because most of them involve basic calculation and analysis, and the requirements for experiments are not high, and the funds required are not too high.
soon.
A week has passed.
Wang Hao, Deng Huanshan, Fu Xiangdong, He Yi and others took a plane to Donggang together. After arriving and checking into the hotel, they went to the meeting site.
This meeting is very important and will affect the overall support of higher-level departments for material-related scientific research in the following years.
Topics discussed include aerospace materials, composite materials, precision materials, biotechnology materials, and the most important superconducting materials, etc.
There were also a large number of people attending the conference. Large materials-related companies and materials research institutions all sent representatives to participate.
Wang Hao just entered the meeting and saw an acquaintance.
Ding Zongquan.
Ding Zongquan is the representative of WISCO Materials Institute. The meeting has little to do with WISCO Materials Institute. His mentality is also very relaxed. He is talking and walking with others. Then he raises his head and sees Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao!
Ding Zongquan came over with a smile on his face and said quickly, "Now I should call you Academician Wang. Congratulations!"
"Thanks.
Wang Hao politely thanked him and corrected him, "It's better to call him by his name. I've been called Academician Wang lately, and it always feels weird."
Ding Zongquan smiled and said, "I think so too. It's rare for you to be an academician at your age. Academicians always feel like they are in their late teens or early 80s."
There was an old academician named Zhang next to him. His face suddenly darkened. He gave Ding Zongquan a sharp look. He also knew that Ding Zongquan was not very good at talking. He greeted Wang Haoying and walked in first.
Wang Hao felt a little baffled. It doesn't mean that everyone should be enthusiastic towards him, but the old academician just smiled politely. Not only was he unenthusiastic, he seemed to have a lot of opinions about himself.
Ding Zongquan glanced forward and curled his lips disdainfully, "This old guy!"
"What?" Wang Hao wondered.
Ding Zongquan noticed that Wang Hao was a little puzzled, so he pulled him aside and explained, "Zhang Fugui, an old academician from the Center for Condensed Matter Physics, it would be nice if he could talk to you well. Your research has caused his project to disappear.
"Why?
Ding Zongquan added, "He does research on superconducting materials. Now Wang Hao understood.
The superconducting material experimental group has developed high-temperature superconducting materials with a critical temperature exceeding 120K that can be used in industrial manufacturing. In the face of the data of a critical temperature of 120K, the projects of other teams working on superconducting material projects naturally lose their meaning.
In addition, higher-level departments have focused on superconducting research based on semi-topological theory. The original research on superconducting materials will definitely be greatly affected.
Among them, those who are most affected are those 'traditional' superconducting material experts. Their lifelong efforts are meaningless. It is impossible to get support for the projects in their hands, and it is impossible to apply for projects again. It is almost equivalent to ending their scientific research early.
career. In this case, he
It's strange that they have a good attitude toward Wang Hao.
Ding Zongquan said a few words and then started chatting with Wang Hao. Their common topic was the research of alloy materials.
When chatting on a daily basis, we will naturally not discuss any technical issues.
Ding Zongquan talked about what happened during the review project at the Wuhan Iron and Steel Materials Institute last time, and the topic turned to Chen Jianlin.
Then I transferred to the Alloy Materials Laboratory of Donggang University.
"Do you know the news? Everything about the alloy laboratory has been investigated clearly." Ding Zongquan said, "There are too many people involved, more than twenty, including three in our Wuhan Iron and Steel Group. The biggest problem among them is Brother Zhang from last time.
.
He shook his head as he said, "I was sentenced to four years for accepting bribes and lining my own pockets.
"Where's the alloy laboratory?" Wang Hao had never cared about the problem of the alloy laboratory, but when he heard Ding Zongquan mention it, he still asked with interest. After all, it had a lot to do with him.
Ding Zongquan sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that Chen Jianlin would be so bold, defrauding funds, falsifying experiments, and uncovered seven projects, involving over 100 million yuan in funds!
"I originally thought that Chen Jianlin was a talented person, and I helped him win projects. Fortunately, I didn't have too much contact with him.
Ding Zongquan shook his head at everything he said. He thought he had a good relationship with Chen Jianlin. Only when the incident broke out did he realize that Chen Jianlin had so many problems.
What would happen if you had a better relationship with Chen Jianlin?
At that time, Chen Jianlin may induce him to help him do something.
Faced with the huge temptation of interests, Ding Zongquan didn't know whether he could hold it. After all, he was not a saint, and with his status in the steel industry, he could easily help Chen Jianlin win projects worth tens of thousands or more.
I can’t imagine it!
Ding Zongquan was a little scared when he thought about it, and he continued, "Chen Jianlin's illegal gains were confiscated, fined, and finally sentenced to eight years. He was not the only one. There were five laboratories in their laboratory.
"The most serious ones left are Zhou Xiaolong and Ma Wengou. Ma Wengou also tried to leak secrets and was sentenced to eight years. It seems that overseas funds were involved. His sentence was the latest.
‘Zhou Xiaolong
Ding Zongquan suddenly laughed when talking about Zhou Xiaolong, "I paid special attention to this Zhou Xiaolong. It's very interesting. He helped Chen Jianlin do things, and was also involved in data falsification. In the end, he only got a few hundred thousand. Later, there seemed to be another
One million, but it has nothing to do with the project.
"Only a few hundred thousand?" Wang Hao was shocked when he heard this number. He felt that Chen Jianlin was too inhumane. It involved over 100 million yuan, so it was considered huge.
In the end, hundreds of thousands were given to Zhou Xiaolong?
Ding Zongquan also laughed, "I heard it from the Alloy Laboratory. They have a researcher who I know. Zhou Xiaolong is a student of Chen Jianlin. His family situation is also very good. His problem is that he falsified his doctoral thesis.
"I feel like this man has no brains and is really devoted to Chen Jianlin. In the end, he was sentenced to five years.
Wang Hao nodded as he listened.
He thought about it carefully and found that Zhou Xiaolong was indeed the kind of brainless person. It was probably because of his loyalty that he attracted the attention of Chen Jianlin. He even helped Zhou Xiaolong forge a doctoral thesis, get a doctorate, and stayed in the laboratory as a
researcher.
Wang Hao and Ding Zongquan also entered the venue as they spoke.
The meeting didn't start that day. They just went in to punch in, get an ID badge, and understand the meeting procedures.
After entering the venue, Wang Hao met several acquaintances, including several people from the Aviation Materials Institute. Naturally, they exchanged pleasantries after meeting them.
Wang Hao is a leader in superconducting materials and the most famous scientist in the world. He naturally became the focus when he arrived at the scene. Many people came to say hello and get to know Wang Hao. Among them were some figures in the field of superconducting, such as the Academy of Materials Science and Technology.
Du Jianhua from the Institute, and Wang Chenglin from the Basic Science Center of Capital University.
In fact, the relationship between Wang Hao and these experts in condensed matter physics and superconductivity is far from good, but they still have to get over it in terms of face. They are all scholars in the same field, so they naturally have to respond.
But, it's obvious.
Similar to Zhang Fugui's attitude, many scholars in the field of superconductivity only gave Wang Hao a smile at most. Instead, they gathered together and talked about topics related to the superconductivity conference.
Naturally, Wang Hao is also the topic of conversation.
The circle of superconducting scholars mainly revolves around two people, one is Du Jianhua from the Institute of Materials Science of the Academy of Sciences, and the other is Wang Chenglin from the Center for Basic Science of Capital University.
These scholars all have opinions on Wang Hao.
-It was Wang Hao's research that made the research on superconducting condensed matter physics and superconducting materials a thing of the past. Almost all the projects in their hands were affected.
At the same time, many small superconducting institutions, whether it is theoretical research or superconducting materials research, can’t even find the direction to apply for projects, so life has been very difficult recently. Even if they come to attend a materials conference, they know that the main
The direction is still superconducting research based on semi-topological theory.
Research on superconducting condensed matter physics has become a thing of the past.
However, their academic level is limited and they are not experts in algebraic geometry, so it is difficult for them to do research related to semi-topological theory, let alone apply for a project on superconducting materials research.
Therefore, it will be difficult for them to apply for funds in the future, and some people even think that they will be unemployed soon.
They all shared the same hatred for Wang Hao, so they could only gather around Wang Chenglin and Du Jianhua, constantly complaining about their frustrations in research.
