Chapter 483 Yongling is about to open
Inside the storage shed.
Looking at Huang Yuting crying alone.
Xu Yun was also filled with emotion.
The daughter inherited her father's business and focused on developing a gravity gradient meter. At the same time, on the day when the dream of two generations came true, Huang Yuting got her father's "legacy", and the follow-up project also received support from the Xichang Satellite Launch Base
Tell the truth.
Professor Huang Danian's question of whether the soul in heaven can be comforted belongs to God's will, and Xu Yun, as a non-party, dare not make any guarantees.
But at least it’s within the scope of ‘manpower’.
This matter can indeed be regarded as a complete meritorious deed.
certainly.
Perfection comes to perfection. Judging from Huang Yuting's previous resume, it is obvious that she will not stop because of this.
This perfect power will only make her steps more determined until the day when Professor Huang's last wish is truly fulfilled.
Or until death. (This sentence is added at the request of Huang Yuting’s real-life prototype, Ms. Huang, and the previous plot was also obtained with her consent. In reality, Sister Huang was engaged in architectural design. When Professor Huang passed away, Sister Huang had already graduated and could not change her major. So I found it through a friend and hoped to write such a plot in the book)
Then a while passed.
Considering that the WorldView-3 satellite across the sea is about to fly overhead,
Li Hua and Ge Tongyou discussed it and led everyone out of the storage warehouse and returned to the original command center.
"Xiao Huang."
After returning to the command center.
Li Hua first took the two contracts from his assistant Guo Ziyang, handed them to Huang Yuting, and said:
"Xiao Huang, this is the relevant agreement I told you before. Take a look."
"The above is a letter of intent for cooperation between us and Jilin University. It has been approved by Jilin University. All you need to do is sign it."
"The stack below is a donation agreement about the gravity gradiometer. The content is relatively complicated - although the accuracy of this equipment is far below the confidentiality requirements, it is owned by you after all, so the requirements are still relatively high. , and even involves some immigration issues.”
Huang Yuting nodded in understanding, lowered her head and read line by line.
As Li Hua said.
The contents of these two agreements are very clear, and the relevant responsibilities and requirements have been implemented in more detail.
For example, the cooperation project between Xichang Satellite Launch Base and Jilin University.
There are many detailed requirements, but there is only one truly strict clause, which is mainly for the political review of members entering and exiting the project team.
Although this requirement is relatively strict, Huang Yuting can completely accept it.
After all, this cooperative project is not like her previous research group, which only has a yearly funding of about 100,000 yuan. It is not difficult for everyone to join or leave.
The current cooperation project has a starting funding of more than three million yuan, which also involves a lot of confidential data. The political review and threshold naturally need to be raised.
Similar requirements also appeared in the donation agreement for the gravity gradiometer, such as departure restrictions, etc. Huang Yuting had no doubts.
So it's quick.
She picked up the pen and signed her name readily:
Huang Yuting.
Seeing that Huang Yuting's matter was settled, Li Hua felt relieved, and then turned to look at Xu Yun:
"Dr. Xu, I don't really need to explain this matter today. I guess you have guessed something - indeed, some eyes from higher places have noticed the gravity gradiometer."
"But it's useless to talk about the deeper things. There is only one piece of news I can tell you now, that is"
"You have been approved by the above to use this gravity gradiometer for the exploration and excavation of Yongling, but the entire surveying and mapping process cannot be made public."
"For example, live broadcasts and reports are prohibited. Specifically, there will be a specialist accompanying you. Some personal equipment may have to be confiscated when performing detection. You must be mentally prepared for this."
Xu Yun also nodded:
"No problem."
Although according to the current level of network development, there will inevitably be media attention and even live broadcast during the excavation process of Yongling.
But no matter what live broadcast method you use, it is impossible to film the surveying and mapping process - because the detection process is very, very early in the sequence, earlier than the plan is drawn up.
Just like the Sanxingdui excavation.
I don’t know how many media outlets have reported on it, but has anyone seen any reports on remote sensing mapping?
In addition, this link itself is very boring, it is strange that someone would pay attention to it.
Therefore, Xu Yun has no dissatisfaction with the requirements from above. Cell phones are not allowed in the college entrance examination, let alone such an important detection process?
Then Li Hua paused and continued:
"As for the contact with the excavation project team, Dr. Xu, do you need help from the base in this regard?"
"Although the main function of our base is to launch various satellites, there is a Sanxingdui ruins here in Sichuan Province, and we still have some connections in the archaeological field over the years."
Li Hua's attitude was very enthusiastic, but Xu Yun still shook his head:
"Gong Li, I understand this matter, but you may not understand the intersection between HKUST and this matter"
Xu Yun then introduced the affairs of HKUST, Mr. Guo Moruo and Dingling before continuing:
“So it’s better for the University of Science and Technology to contact us about this matter. Firstly, it won’t bother the two principals, and secondly, it’s an old matter from the University of Science and Technology.”
After Li Hua listened to Xu Yun's words quietly, he nodded thoughtfully:
"I see. Since HKUST is prepared, our base will not interfere blindly."
"It's just that, Dr. Xu, it's a little hard to repay the favor we owe you."
Xu Yun was stunned after hearing this.
But he soon came to his senses, feeling quite dumbfounded.
Co-author Li Hua wants to fill himself here
really.
Although at the beginning of this incident, Mr. Wang brought Xu Yun to the door to seek cooperation, and Xu Yun was the one asking for help.
But with the actual success of the gravity gradient instrument, the nature of the whole thing has also changed:
Gravity gradiometers are not only helpful to the national defense industry, but are also of great importance to the aerospace field.
Otherwise, ESA would not have put the GOCE gravity gradiometer on the GOCE satellite.
In the assembly process of this gravity gradiometer, there are three links that can be said to be the most important aspects of the project.
They are the measurement module that Xu Yun is responsible for,
Huang Yuting is responsible for the structural module,
As well as the balance module that Ge Tongyou is responsible for.
Among them, Ge Tongyou has an internal reward process, and there will definitely be no shortage of money and various rewards, so Li Hua doesn't need to worry at all.
As for Huang Yuting, she also received project funds and the shipboard gravity gradiometer first designed by Huang Danian.
Only Xu Yun, a ‘third party’ who does not belong to Xichang’s scientific research system or Xichang’s cooperative institutions, has not received any remuneration so far.
This is obviously unfair and inappropriate.
True.
Considering Xu Yun's contribution, there will definitely be other awards from above.
But those rewards are for those with high hair, and they are not comparable to the Xichang Satellite Launch Base.
Therefore, Li Hua originally wanted to be a middleman for Xu Yun, connect with the Yongling project team, and simply return a favor. Although Xu Yun didn't ask much, he estimated that Li Hua had already thought about the candidate.
Unexpectedly, there was such an intersection between HKUST and Dingling among the Ming Tombs, which completely disrupted Li Hua's plan.
If you want to repay the favor next time, I’m afraid you’ll have to find another way
Xu Yun then exchanged a few simple polite words with Li Hua and others, then took the initiative to say goodbye and left the headquarters.
While Xu Yun was chatting with Li Hua and others.
Jinling, thousands of kilometers away.
Jinling University.
In a lecture theater.
"In short, the main carving techniques of ancient bronzes are almost six types: copper casting, inlaying, gilding, engraving, forging, and riveting. In addition, there are also the characteristics of bronzes I mentioned. Focus.”
Having said this.
Weng Tong looked at the students in the audience, glanced at the time on his watch, and asked casually:
"Okay, that's it for today's lesson. Does anyone else have any questions?"
Weng Tong's last sentence is a habit he has developed over decades of teaching. In the early years, there were still a few students who responded to this sentence, but in recent years, almost no one would ask questions at this time.
So after talking.
Weng Tong subconsciously wanted to turn off the teaching equipment, pack up the courseware, and then go to the staff canteen to have lunch to fill his stomach.
I heard there are still salted ducks coming today
However, just as Weng Tong was about to press the switch, a student in the audience suddenly raised his hand:
"Teacher, I have a question."
Weng Tong blinked slightly in surprise. He actually had no impression of this student, but he quickly said:
"Say it."
The student who raised his hand was a tall young man with dark skin. He looked like a bucket-carrying guy majoring in civil engineering. When he opened his mouth, he spoke in a loud voice:
"Director Weng, I heard that our school has been selected as a partner for the Yongling excavation, right?"
Weng Tong was stunned.
A low-pitched discussion soon erupted in the audience.
For these archeology students, the word Yongling is not unfamiliar, and they can instantly locate the object without searching Baidu:
One of the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, located in the suburbs of Yanjing.
Then Weng Tong took a deep breath and said to the student:
"This classmate, where did you hear the news?"
The boy quickly picked up a mobile phone from the table, and the lighted screen could be vaguely seen on it:
“I saw on the hot search that the country is preparing to start excavation of Yongling Tomb, and our school is still the only cooperative unit.”
Hearing this, Weng Tong also took out his mobile phone and logged on to Weibo.
In fact, in the past few years, Weng Tong didn't like Weibo and Tieba because the news was too confusing.
However, more than a month ago, he heard the news that the social platform was being rectified, so he tried to log in to Weibo twice and found that the layout was indeed much cleaner.
During this period of time, he also developed the habit of going up and brushing it twice when he had nothing to do.
So it's quick.
He found the corresponding hot search.
The publisher of the hot search is XinH Club, and the content is very simple:
[According to news from the GWY office today, the application submitted by many historians last month to the Yongling Determining Committee has been approved, and our country is about to start excavation work on the Yongling Tomb, the tomb of Emperor Jiajing among the Ming Dynasty Tombs.]
Looking at this news, Weng Tong couldn't help but touch his chin.
As one of the main initiators of the entire project, Weng Tong already knew many unpublished secrets without actually needing to be informed by this news.
What made Weng Tong a little surprised now was...
This announcement came a little quickly.
After all, it had only been four or five days since he got the permission letter.
According to the normal process, the project is still going through the coordination process of the cultural relics administrative department at this time.
It will take at least about a week to announce it to the public.
Of course.
This thought didn't last long, it was fleeting.
After all, Yongling is located near Yanjing, and the process does not need to go through the provincial and municipal procedures like other projects, so it is not surprising that it will be done quickly.
At the bottom of this Weibo, a user left a message:
[I heard that this excavation project was jointly applied for by Jinling University. By the way, the last university that participated in the imperial tomb was called the University of Science and Technology of China, and the tomb was called Dingling, laugh].
The publisher of this message was a personal account, but the authentication column stated that he was a contributor to an archeology magazine, and he seemed to be an industry insider.
No wonder the student in the audience asked this question
Then Weng Tong paused, organized his words, and said to the student in the audience:
"This student, as you can see, Yongling's excavation project application has been reviewed, and Jinling University is indeed one of the applicants."
"But as for whether our school is the only participating unit and how deep the level of participation is, I can't tell you the exact answer for the time being."
What Weng Tong said is also true.
New H News Agency has always been the official mouthpiece. If it publishes the project approval news at this time, it means that the project approval document will be officially announced soon - maybe it will be posted on the official website by this time.
Once the project application letter is announced, the fact that Jinling University is the applicant cannot be hidden.
So it's better to be secretive at this time than to admit it readily.
It's not a detailed secret anyway.
As for the second half of the sentence.
He really didn’t know the extent of Jinling University’s involvement.
Whether it is the entire archeology department, half of the archeology department, or individual personnel, this is not something he can decide.
The boy in the audience obviously knew this very well, so he changed the topic again:
"So Director Weng, when can the excavation of Yongling Tomb be officially started?"
"Formal excavation?"
Hearing this word, Weng Tong's expression turned serious again:
"I'm afraid it will take a while. In the last few classes last year, we were taught content related to archaeological excavation."
“So everyone should know that it generally takes a long time from the review of the project proposal to the start of project excavation.”
"The most difficult thing is to detect the structure of the tomb. Today's remote sensing technology can only map a relatively simple general appearance."
"That is, whether there is water accumulation in certain pits, whether there is obvious collapse in the interior, etc."
"As for risk issues - for example, a certain tomb has a pre-existing structural defect and the structure will lose support and collapse once the door is opened, it is difficult for us to know in advance."
"With unclear detection of the indoor structure, it is difficult to finalize the specific construction plan. Considering the example of Dingling, it may take a year or two."
Weng Tong finished what he said.
There was another discussion in the audience, and everyone seemed a little disappointed with this time span.
But soon.
The boy raised his hand again, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes:
"Director Weng, according to you, if we can completely detect the situation inside the tomb, is it possible to complete the excavation in a short time?"
Weng Tong nodded, but soon sighed and explained:
“It can be said that in a large-scale excavation project, structural detection often takes up 70% or even 80% of the time.”
"For example, the Nanzuo Neolithic Site in QY City, Gansu Province was established in 2107, and the exploration and investigation took almost four years - of course there are various reasons for this. In short, the excavation did not officially start until 2021."
“On the sixth day after the excavation officially started, a lot of white patterned pottery and cinnabar painted pottery were unearthed.”
As he spoke, Weng Tong seemed to be interested, picked up the water glass, took a sip, and continued:
"There is also Zhenjiang, which is more than 80 kilometers away from Jinling. Everyone is familiar with that place, right? I remember that many of my classmates are from Zhenjiang."
"There is a Wuzhou Mountain in Zhenjiang, and there is a tomb of Su Song on the mountain. It was set up for a prime minister named Su Song in the Song Dynasty."
"That project has been under construction since 2019, but due to limited detection technology, no excavation work has been carried out until now."
"The detection of the structure inside the tomb can be said to be a barrier-level problem that limits archaeological excavation. This is the case for Su Song's tomb and the same for Yongling."
"If the internal structure of Yongling can be clearly detected, then as long as those engineers lose some hair, they may be able to come up with a relevant plan in less than two nights."
"Including the time for demonstration and equipment arrival, we really need to rush it. Maybe it can be done in ten days."
Seeing Weng Tong's conversation getting more sexual, another female classmate in the audience raised her hand:
"Director Weng, if this is the case, is it possible for our country to make a breakthrough in detection in the short term, and then open Yongling Tomb as soon as possible?"
Weng Tong glanced at the other party and his attitude was very firm:
"Unfortunately, it is absolutely impossible, at least the current domestic remote sensing level cannot reach this level."
The girl is still a little unwilling, after all, she will graduate this year:
"Director Weng, is it really possible that there is no chance at all?"
Weng Tong used the bigger swing of his head to show his attitude. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of something:
"Let's put it this way, if the field of remote sensing can achieve a breakthrough in this technology within a year"
"At the press conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences a few days ago, didn't a foreigner from Cambridge University bring the ax from Maxwell's laboratory to Chengdu? I went to eat that ax on the spot!"
The words just fell.
The phone in Weng Tong's hand that was originally used to read Weibo vibrated.
Weng Tong took a closer look.
It was discovered that the visitor was Tong Huaijun, the head of the Department of Archeology at Jinling University.
So Weng Tong made a quiet gesture to the audience, walked to the corner, and pressed the call button:
"Director Tong?"
"Well, old man, it's me."
Tong Huaijun on the other end of the phone seemed a little busy, so he spoke very quickly:
"Old man, please pack your luggage as soon as possible. We will leave for the University of Science and Technology of China tonight."
"University of Science and Technology of China?"
Weng Tong was stunned for a moment, and the figure of a guy who abducted his daughter to become a company employee subconsciously appeared in his mind:
"Director Tong, what are we going to do at the University of Science and Technology of China?"
"The school just received a fax from the University of Science and Technology of China. The other party said that it has mastered a new detection technology that can completely detect objects buried underground, and wants to cooperate with us to develop Yongling!"
Note:
Thanks to book friend 20220119132635241 for the reward. The ID is too long and cannot be displayed in the title. I would like to thank you at the end of this chapter! !
I will start adding more updates on the 4th. Today there is an interview with a starting point writer assistant that took a long time, and there will be an interview with the Securities Times tomorrow, so the updates will be slightly less, and a lot of preparation and proofreading of speeches will be required.
