107: Chapter 107 Seminar? Division of Labor!
At this moment, more than 700 people were already standing in the temporarily constructed meeting venue; they were all senior researchers in the field of nuclear physics currently in China!
On the podium, the two old academicians were in the center of the back row, while other academicians and leaders sat on either side of Elder Yu and Elder Cheng, as well as in the back rows.
The meeting began quickly.
The main goal of the first phase of Project Houyi was simple: to achieve a breakthrough in Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology!
According to the deployment, Comrade Lin Mo, a lifelong honorary academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Deputy Chief Designer of China Military Industry equipment, and one-star major general, was appointed as the General Director of Project Houyi!
His position: Chief Designer of the China Project Houyi!
Comrade Xiang Guangming, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Director of the Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute, was appointed as the second-in-command!
His position: Chief Engineer of the China Project Houyi!
Comrade Professor Ai Chongfeng, Chief Designer of the Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute, was appointed as the third-in-command!
His position: Deputy Chief Designer of the China Project Houyi!
Elder Yu and Elder Cheng, both recipients of the "Two Bombs, One Satellite" Meritorious Medal and titans in the field of nuclear physics, were appointed as the highest-level technical advisors for the China Project Houyi, participating in the project throughout and providing technical guidance!
Immediately following this, the appointments for thirty-two other high-level project positions were read out.
After the appointments were announced, the meeting continued with work mobilization.
Project Houyi was a national-level key project at the same strategic height as the previous Nantianmen Project, even surpassing it in some areas, and was directly related to the national destiny of China!
From the very beginning, the project was listed as China's top priority supervision project, with a special task force stationed permanently at the site of the first phase of Project Houyi, specifically responsible for all logistical support for the entire project!
All of China's resources would be tilted toward Project Houyi, ensuring that the entire project would face no worries!
"Although Project Houyi is extremely difficult, the road ahead is bright!"
"There was originally another piece of major good news today,"
"but this news can only be announced by Chief Designer Lin himself, so I will not overstep my authority!"
"Please also trust Chief Designer Lin unconditionally. After experiencing so many miracles, there is nothing that Chief Designer Lin cannot achieve; there are only things we cannot imagine!"
"I firmly believe that as long as we are united as one and follow closely in the footsteps of Chief Designer Lin,"
"under his strong leadership, the first phase of Project Houyi will surely achieve a total victory!"
Regarding the Rare Metal Superconductor, the authorities had not announced it to the public, but instead left the decision to Lin Mo himself.
Whether to disclose it or keep it confidential was up to Lin Mo!
For current China, the most critical thing was not the confidentiality of any technology, but Lin Mo, this greatest lucky star and national scholar!
As long as Lin Mo was here, China would have the XJ-1, and naturally, there would be the XJ-2, XJ-3, XJ-10, and even the XJ-100!
"I formally announce that the China Project Houyi officially begins today!"
Accompanied by enthusiastic applause, the first phase of China's "Project Houyi" began in full swing!
After the oath-taking ceremony, it was just 12 o'clock.
After having lunch, the high-level project members of Project Houyi went straight to work without delay, convening the first brainstorming seminar in the large conference hall on the eighth floor of the institute's main building.
At this time, the tables in the large conference hall had been arranged into a square, which would make it more convenient for discussion.
Lin Mo carried a briefcase, walked into the conference hall, and sat directly in the main seat.
Afterwards, Xiang Guangming sat on the left, and Professor Ai Chongfeng sat on the right, serving as his right-hand men.
Seeing that the main comrades in charge had taken their seats, the other project leaders also sat down respectively.
Lin Mo looked at Elder Yu and Elder Cheng to show respect, and after receiving their nods, said in a clear voice: "Let us officially begin the meeting!"
Everyone sat up straight; they all held very high expectations for this first brainstorming seminar.
During lunch, they had also made many guesses about the content of the meeting.
Would Lin Mo propose a different approach for the realization path of Controlled Nuclear Fusion?
What kind of imaginative designs would he propose for those critical technical bottlenecks?
Would they continue down the path of Tokamak magnetic confinement that the Chinese research team had previously pursued?
Everyone focused their burning gazes on Lin Mo, waiting for his follow-up.
Who would have known that Lin Mo's next sentence would leave everyone stunned.
In the main seat, Lin Mo did not show the slightest stage fright; he scanned the crowd and said calmly: "The main task of today's meeting is the division of labor!"
"Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, if anyone has any opinions, feel free to raise them!"
After saying this, without any nonsense, he immediately asked the staff to distribute the prepared division of labor arrangements to the attendees.
Seeing this scene, everyone began to look at each other in dismay.
Division of labor? Wasn't today a brainstorming seminar? Why start with the division of labor right away? Did they not need to discuss and determine the research direction in advance?
Some academicians frowned slightly.
Everyone was a smart person; ruminating on Lin Mo's blunt opening statement, something was clearly wrong.
At first listen, it felt slightly jarring, and after deep thought, it even felt like an insult!
Lin Mo's words, to put it nicely, were about the division of labor. To put it bluntly, he was essentially saying: "I am not targeting anyone in particular; I am saying that everyone here is trash!"
"You are not qualified to have a discussion with me; just do as I say!"
