Chapter 301 Has he taken the wrong path from the beginning?
It is expected that someone will leave.
The reason why they chose to leave was not just because of the failure of the experiment, but most importantly because of Gu Dong himself.
It’s just that the direct impact of this failure is quite large, and people outside have already quarreled.
The comments are both good and bad, perhaps because of the reason for interfering with oil, so some reports are more extreme, not just a bad word, but directly indicate that Gu Dong has failed and the entire experiment has completely failed.
At the beginning of the experiment, many people invested huge failures in this experiment, so after such news came out, they instantly began to bombard the media.
"Is Lun Gu Dong a liar or a pseudoscientist? Does he understand or not?"
"Is controlled nuclear fusion really feasible? Do you need to have that high requirements?"
"The experiment failed again, proving that Gu Dong is not a god, but just a person. Some people had too high expectations for him before"
""Although the oil system is clamoring to subvert? Gu Dong exaggerates!"
There are many similar reports, some of which are more direct and sharp, and some of them have already worked with Gu Dong.
Gu Dong naturally ignored them. The experiment was still being done, and it was estimated that it would continue to fail.
Just like before, the process will not go so smoothly, and it is very normal to fail a few times.
The next time was quite difficult, and the subsequent work was indeed as Gu Dong expected. The more than 600,000 recipes that Gu Qi found recently failed.
Then, someone chose to leave.
There were more than 100 people, more than 40 people had left, and then more than 20 people came. Now there were only about 80 people working in the laboratory.
The pressure of public opinion and work are pressing on the heads of these people.
Gu Dong is also very busy at work and can't take time to manage other things. Perhaps his thinking was wrong from the beginning, so Gu Qi repeatedly miscalculated the recipe, and now more than three million possibilities have been eliminated.
Gu Dong had already gone to the Science and Technology City to find Sixteen, but the information that Sixteen could provide him was not very large, and most of it was exploring by himself.
After finding another direction, Gu Qi started calculating again.
Long and difficult work often requires enough patience. There are many possible failures once, twice, three times, or even four times, or five times.
So, after continuing to get busy, there was still a failure.
"Gu Qi simulated a large number of formulas, with 30 million of them in total. Each one was tried, and each one failed! In the latest time, Gu Qi directly provided 3.2 million recipes. The most this time!"
"As soon as the formula was taken out, the whole experiment seemed to be unable to continue. There were already eighty people, but more than thirty people left that night. Even some old professors and scholars who were very determined at the beginning questioned this experiment!"
"But he still has no intention of turning back, and now he doesn't listen to any opinions. He has already planned to go all the way!"
"More than 320 recipes, such data is daunting!"
"Is it crazy? Is he already crazy?"
"I don't know if it's crazy, but so far, he still hasn't lowered the standards. This is the first problem we encountered. Just one problem has stuck us for half a year. I don't know what will happen in the future? We are no longer looking forward to the results!"
"So, was the wrong path he took from the beginning?"
"At least I think Mr. Gu Dong is too stubborn to communicate at all!"
Gu Qi once again came up with more than 3.2 million yuan in winning plans, which really scared some people away. This was the fifth failure after the experiment was carried out, and there were no results in five times. Now, half a year has passed, and the project is still stuck and unable to progress.
Gong Haoming, Yang Baili and others also talked to Gu Dong once, and even Chen Dingguo, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also looked for him once, but it was useless.
Gu Dong has never planned to reduce the requirements of the experiment. If it doesn’t work, it won’t work. If it doesn’t work, it can only be overturned and reworked, or find a way again.
"Although you are the person in charge of this project, the money invested this time is too much. Some people at the top of the country have also had some opinions. I don't know if you can make a profit after investing hundreds of millions of dollars!" Chen Dingguo said to him with a serious look: "But we all understand that what we are doing is not ordinary things, and it is certain that we encounter difficulties."
Gu Dong frowned and said, "What are the opinions of the upper class of the country?"
Chen Dingguo smiled and said, "Several millions are not small!"
Gu Dong smiled: "To me, hundreds of millions are just a small number. If you don't like each other, I can do it myself. Also, even if the monster company doesn't invest, I'll send a signal, and there will probably be a lot of people waiting to give me money. Dean Chen, the experiment is still going on, so don't create difficulties for me!"
Chen Dingguo smiled and said, "I am not creating difficulties for you, I am solving them for you. In fact, many professors have questioned you at present, and many people inside plan to impeach you!"
Gu Dong immediately smiled: "Is this useful?"
"It's useless, but at least it can make them vent their anger!" Chen Dingguo smiled and said, "In short, you can continue the experiment. Don't worry about the opinions of people outside. Do whatever you want. In this regard, the above meaning is still very certain. If you want money and resources, you can talk to me directly and I'll apply."
Gu Dong glanced at him and smiled slightly: "According to the current progress, I guess it has failed many times!"
"How many times will it fail?" Chen Dingguo looked at him.
"I don't know, but what I've been doing recently has not been very smooth." Gu Dong sighed and said, "The difficulties we have encountered are much greater than we thought!"
Gu Dong did not tell lies. The difficulties he faced now are indeed very difficult, but... As more and more experiments are done, Gu Qi's data seems to be becoming clearer and clearer, and Gu Dong himself has gradually mastered some things.
New materials, new technologies, new standards!
He stood at the top of Earth's technology, and the problems he encountered were often the century-level problems. Therefore, after saying goodbye to Chen Dingguo, Gu Dong continued to return to the busy experiment.
He needs to do the experiments required by Gu Qi again, doing each one once, until he finds the suitable superconducting material.
This was still the case for the next period of time. The experiment failed, continued experiments, and continued failures. People in the laboratory left and stayed, very quickly.
Public opinion outside continued, but as time went by, everyone gradually became less concerned about this matter.
Later, Gu Qi took more than one million formulas, and most of the people in the laboratory were dealing with the problem, and most of them were no longer doing experiments seriously.
One night a year later, the nuclear fusion laboratory was quiet.
Outside the laboratory, there were several soldiers from the National Security Bureau standing guard. They stared at the lights in the laboratory from time to time, with a cold expression.
In the laboratory, Gu Dong and several younger researchers stared at the things in a small cup, with a serious expression.
These young researchers are the latest graduate students to join the experiment. Several of them are from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Since a lot of people have left the laboratory before, the country has arranged for them to come.
At this time, one of the researchers in his thirties looked very excited and was explaining something to Gu Dong with a nervous look on his face.
