"Wait, who did you just talk about?"

"What is who?" Meng Lin was a little confused.

"Just the last person you just mentioned, let's talk about his name."

Meng Linluo thought about it and read the last name of the person just now again. When he confirmed that he had heard it correctly, Su Yichen pulled a piece of paper from the table and quickly wrote a string of English on it.

"Is it him?"

Meng Lin took it and looked at it, nodded. The English name was indeed the person he mentioned just now, so there would be no mistake.

Su Yichen did not expect that Professor Kevin Adams would come to Shanghai. Professor Kevin Adams is a professor of physics at California Polytechnic University in the United States. Although his reputation is far inferior to the top of Meng Lin’s nomination list, he has a deep impression of Professor Kevin Adams Su Yichen.

The source of the impression is the journals he read in the library a few months ago. One of them was a professional commentary on the ITER project that Su Yichen still remembered. In this commentary, Professor Kevin Adams made bold assumptions about the current problem that the ITER project has been unable to open up the situation. He proposed that the core issue of ITER is not the technical aspect, but the theoretical foundation of the project at the beginning has great flaws, especially the idea of ​​the Tokmack device was fundamentally wrong from the beginning, which led to a huge project that spent 10 years, costing up to 6 billion US dollars, almost gathering major scientific and technological forces from all over the world, which has not been able to achieve its goal.

In the article, Professor Kevin Adams also proposed a bold new idea to replace the current Tokmak device. Although the idea he proposed was only a preliminary idea, Su Yichen attached great importance to it, because from the basic theory of his ideas, he has already reached the right path, and what he lacks is the complete derivation of successor theories and data verification plus the final actual testing work.

Recalling the content of Professor Kevin Adams' article, Su Yichen was a little fascinated for a moment, because the ideas proposed by Professor Kevin Adams are somewhat similar to the Rand civilization's methods of controlling nuclear fusion, and are even more practical in combining the existing technology on the earth.

These days, as Su Yichen verified Professor Kevin Adams's ideas, this point was further confirmed. At the same time, he also became very interested in Professor Kevin Adams. Since Professor Kevin Adams came to Shanghai this time, should he find time to meet the other party? Maybe there will be a pleasant exchange between them.

At this moment, Professor Kevin Adams happened to have just arrived in Shanghai, and he was also a colleague who was conducting an academic visit this time. However, compared with those who were so energetic, Professor Kevin Adams was not very good, and even his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if some problems were bothering him.

"Kevin, take it easy, that's no big deal." Seeing Professor Kevin Adams look like this, Professor Martin Cumberbatch from ETH Zurich comforted him, patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Martin." Professor Kevin Adams nodded slightly to his old friend, but frowned and asked, "My old friend, based on your professional judgment, are my thoughts all nonsense after mental disorder?"

Professor Martin Cumberbatch looked at the old friend in front of him. In just a few months, Kevin's appearance was much worse than before. He turned out to be full of energy and now he looked like an ordinary old man, and his mental state was really worrying.

As an old friend, Martin knew, of course, that if it weren't for the commentary article on ITER, Kevin wouldn't be like this. Kevin's article soon attracted the attention of the industry after the publication of professional journals, but these attentions were not praise, but were a slander. Many experts and scholars in physics, even the heads of ITER projects in several major countries, accused Kevin of the assumptions and comments in the articles of the articles were completely nonsense, and he was even irresponsible nonsense about the analysis of the Tokmack device. Countless comments flew over like snowflakes, and several big figures in the scientific community even wrote articles in person, treating Kevin as an attempt to attract attention in this way, using ridicule and disdain to gain academic capital.

These reactions were like a bucket of ice water pouring on Kevin's head. At first, he tried hard to argue and even wrote a paper to explain his views in a targeted manner, but with it, more denials and abuses came. Some even directly said that Professor Kevin Adams was already confused. People like him should not teach in college at all, but should be enrolled in a mental hospital.

"No, my old friend, I never thought you had any mental problems, and your thoughts were not nonsense." Martin sighed softly and whispered in his ear.

Kevin's body shook slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at his old friend in front of him, with an excited and complicated expression, and he opened his mouth to try to say something.

"I know what you want to ask me. Do you think I should stand up and distinguish for you?" Martin asked with a wry smile. When Kevin nodded and admitted, Martin shook his head and said, "As a scientist, you should know that Bruno and Galileo, who pursued the truth, went on the stolen rack and became a martyr. Galileo, who also understood the truth, chose to retreat under the pressure of the church's forces and survive..."

"You mean..." Kevin suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning. He suddenly stood up, his hands were supported by the back of the chair, and he looked up at Martin with incredible eyes.

Martin had no choice but to spread his hands and shrugged, "Your situation is the same as that of the martyr Bruno. So what if your theory is correct? We are all very clear about the importance of the ITER project and the huge organizational structure, and it also involves almost all the most important countries and regions in the world. According to your theory, it is equivalent to completely overturning the current meaning of ITER. So have you considered what consequences this will bring?"

Seeing Kevin's revelation for a moment, Martin knew that he was a nerd and kindly asked him and explained: "The entire ITER project took 10 years and cost 6 billion US dollars, but this is just superficial data. If you add independent research investment from countries such as the United States, Russia, China, the EU, Japan, etc., the annual funding consumption is simply astronomical. What's more, do you know how many scientists and researchers work in this project? Even the university I work in will receive a lot of financial support in this project, but once your theory is proven, it's all over."

Kevin's face turned pale and slowly turned red. He held his hands tightly, his eyes were filled with anger, like an angry lion: "Is it because of this ridiculous reason? Shouldn't the truth of science be persisted?"

"My friend, Bruno once insisted, but his result was to be on the stolen stand. Bruno is indeed great, but what is the significance of this? I don't want you to be Bruno too, so..." Martin finally shook his head and sighed. In fact, there was another reason he did not tell Kevin that if the ITER project was completely overturned, it would lead to unpredictable events between governments, because it was an international project and its involvement was too great. As professional scholars, no one is fool. It can be said that many people have seen its value in Kevin's articles, but the problem is that even if everyone knows that Kevin is correct? Under the current circumstances, no matter how important the truth is, it cannot defeat the strength of interests, so what Kevin faces must be a tragedy.
