Robbery

(My body is still a little restless, so I need to rest for another day)

The Tehran strategy is like an undercurrent under water. No one will bring it to the table, and no third-party force will explore the unknown details, not even the United States.

They just observed quietly and maintained the most basic tacit understanding. As long as the bottom line was not touched, they did not intend to intervene immediately.

After all, they still need Tehran as a "source of conflict" to help them maintain their presence in the Middle East, and some of the "nuclear"-related handles they have left there are also warning them not to act rashly.

Therefore, the competition in the communications and semiconductor industries has fallen into a strange silence. Unless the sanctions are implemented and the cards are revealed, no one can predict the final result.

——

On the contrary, the competition in the field of energetic materials has fallen into a "hot war". It can be said that the United States is using all means to build momentum for its chosen research direction. In just over two months, relevant conferences have been held and will be held soon.

There are as many as ten summits and seminars on energy materials, and invited researchers are all over the world.

Of course, they were not so petty that they skipped China and refused to invite them. In fact, the Nitrogen Anion Salt Team of Nanjing Institute of Technology also received an invitation letter, inviting them to attend the International Energy Materials and Electricity and Energy Storage Conference to be held in Los Angeles the following month.

Materials meeting.

However, the scientific research team represented by Hu Bingchun is temporarily undecided about whether to participate.

In the office, Hu Bingchun scratched his head and studied the invitation letter in his hand repeatedly. After a long time, he asked:

"So are they really planning to go all out to promote total nitrogen anion salt? This is a good thing for us. However, it always feels unkind to invite us over at this time."

"You said, they won't trick us and then hold us there and not let us come back, right?"

After hearing his words, deputy Liu Zuliang couldn't help laughing and replied:

"That doesn't mean that if they really do such a thing, it means that their academic credibility has basically fallen to the bottom."

"From now on, no country, no institution, or scholars will dare to cooperate with them, nor will they dare to set foot on their soil again."

"The negative impact on them will be huge - the talent base that has been stabilized by the talent introduction plan is expected to completely fall apart."

Hu Bingchun nodded in agreement, clicked his tongue twice and said:

"I actually think so too, they shouldn't be able to do such stupid things."

"But, I really haven't thought about whether I should go or not."

"Logically speaking, we should go. After all, this conference has a very strong lineup. Sherriff from Idaho, Malenkov from Pardubice, and Brooke from the British NCC are all participating."

"It can be said that the strongest scientific research forces in the world will gather in Los Angeles. It would be a bit of a loss for us not to communicate with such a good opportunity."

"Moreover, it is said that the technical details of the total nitrogen high-pressure method will be disclosed this time, which is of great reference value to us."

"But when I said I wanted to go, I was hesitant."

"After all, we are now in obviously opposing positions. I'm worried that if we go there, it will be overly interpreted as something bad."

"On the other hand, I really don't want to provide them with any ideas or any help."

"It's really hard to choose."

Liu Zuliang, who was opposite him, also frowned. After thinking for a long time, he spoke:

"Actually, the first question you are worried about is not necessary. Academic things belong to academics, and political things belong to politics. As long as we report it to our superiors in advance, they can't get in our way on this kind of thing."

"Especially in the past two years, after the Spark Group has become more and more influential, the academic atmosphere in the country has improved visibly. The previous bureaucratic thinking can be ignored."

"As for the second point of communication, it is originally a mutually beneficial process. It cannot always be that we prostitute them for free. It is always that we touch their heads to cross the river. When it reaches a certain level, we will always have to shed some blood."

"Compared with these two things, I'm more worried about the other thing."

"What are you worried about? Didn't you say that safety issues don't need to be considered?"

Hu Bingchun asked doubtfully.

"It's not a security issue. What I'm worried about is that they use us to build momentum and seize scientific research resources that don't originally belong to them."

"You also know that our team at Nanjing University of Science and Technology is actually the team with the deepest research and the most achievements in the field of total nitrogen anion salts. If we attend their meeting, it will be an obvious signal to the global scientific research circle.

.”

"They can use this to make a fuss, or they can use the tiger's skin as a banner. When the time comes, we will become their stepping stone."

"Well, there is indeed this risk."

Hu Bingchun couldn't help but get upset again - unlike many scholars engaged in scientific research, his hair was particularly abundant.

But this is not necessarily a good thing. After scratching it a few times, his hair has become a mess and looks quite unkempt.

Unable to make a decision immediately, the two people in the conference room fell silent for a moment.

This is not an easy choice for them.

From a purely scientific research perspective, they all hope to attend this academic conference, which can be called a rare "grand event". After all, there are so many industry leaders gathered there. Maybe a simple collision of ideas can give them

Research brings huge help.

But from the perspective of "strategic scientific research", they are not willing to participate, because they all know that this meeting cannot be simple at all.

After five minutes, Liu Zuliang finally raised his head. He looked at Hu Bingchun and asked tentatively:

"Otherwise, call the leader and ask?"

"If they suggest going, then let's go - there's no point in worrying about it ourselves!"

"That makes sense. Fight!"

"But who to call? Directly to Chen Guo?"

Hearing Hu Bingchun's question, Liu Zuliang couldn't help but be stunned.

Logically speaking, the superior of their project team is the Natural Science Foundation of China. If there are any major decisions, the committee should be consulted.

However, in the past two years, the responsibilities of the Natural Science Foundation of China have gradually begun to be merged into Spark management, and their jurisdiction has actually been transferred.

Of course, what has been transferred is the jurisdiction of scientific research itself, and the administrative subordination sequence has not changed yet.

In other words, scientific research-related matters are under the management of Xinghuo, and administrative matters are under the management of the committee.

So, a question arises here:

Is this matter related to scientific research or administration?

The two of them looked at each other and didn't bother to discuss it anymore. Since they were not sure, let's fight.

So Hu Bingchun immediately picked up the phone.

He first called the committee, and the committee's answer was extremely concise:

Find Chen Guo.

So, he quickly called Chen Guo. After explaining the situation, Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was still hesitant:

"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. I may have to organize an internal discussion to confirm the risks before giving you an answer."

"You can judge for yourself that there will be no safety problems, but there are some situations that you don't understand, and your judgment may not be accurate. In addition,"

“Don’t go there, there’s nothing good to do”

However, before Chen Guo finished speaking, a vague male voice came over the phone, and that male voice obviously interrupted Chen Guo.

Hu Bingchun quickly pricked up his ears. He had already guessed who was speaking.

"Don't go? Why?"

Chen Guo's voice was a little confused.

"There is no need to take risks, even a one in ten thousand risk."

The male voice became clearer and seemed to be closer to the microphone.

"I read their invitation. Isn't it the total nitrogen high-pressure method? It's something that has long been outdated."

"Tell Mr. Hu that this kind of meeting should be held at our place."

"They use high-pressure methods, so we will use chemical methods to ensure it is more attractive than them."

Chengdu.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian curiously and asked:

"Do we really want to have a summit of our own? What do you mean by chemical method? Chemical synthesis of all-nitrogen anion salts?"

"Although I am not in this field, I have read some briefings before. It seems that this direction is still very immature right now?"

Hearing Chen Guo's question, Chen Nian nodded slightly and then replied:

"Having a summit on your own is only an option, it doesn't mean you have to have one."

"But of course, if we decide to do it, we can do it."

"In fact, the biggest attraction of this meeting from the US is their total nitrogen high-pressure synthesis technology. Almost all the institutions and scholars who were invited and confirmed to participate are going for this technology."

"But I also said that this technology has long been outdated. In essence, they are still clinging to the high-voltage physics solution that they are good at."
