北美，田纳西州，一个叫做克林顿的小镇。
North America, Tennessee, a small town called Clinton.
作为二战中著名的曼哈顿计划主要执行机构，橡树岭国家实验室，是在一片荒芜中凭空建立的城市，这座城市遗世独立，住着上万颗地球上最聪明的大脑，科学家们远离繁华，常年过着公寓和实验室之间两点一线的单调生活。
As the main executive body of the famous Manhattan Project in World War II, Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a city built out of nothing in a barren city. They are far away from the bustling, living a monotonous life between the apartment and the laboratory all year round.
作为北美最重要的顶级科研机构之一，橡树岭实验室隶属国家能源部，它还有另外六家也隶属能源部的兄弟机构，分别是劳伦斯伯克利实验室，阿贡实验室，费米实验室，布鲁克海文实验室，洛斯实验室，以及劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室。
As one of the most important top scientific research institutions in North America, Oak Ridge Laboratory is affiliated to the National Department of Energy, and it has six other sister institutions that are also affiliated to the Department of Energy, namely Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Argonne Laboratory, Fei Rice Laboratory, Brookhaven Laboratory, Lowes Laboratory, and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.
这就像一个顶级实验室集群，而这个实验室集群的工作重点，是在可控核聚变以及所有能源相关的领域，对抗来自华夏的挑战。
This is like a top-level laboratory cluster, and the focus of this laboratory cluster is to fight against the challenges from China in the field of controllable nuclear fusion and all energy-related fields.
能源部下属七大实验室，全部位列地球十五强！
The seven major laboratories under the Ministry of Energy are all among the top 15 on earth!
这就是北美对于可控聚变技术的态度，他们势在必得，在连续遭遇重大挫折之后，北美绝不甘心失去核霸权。
This is North America’s attitude towards controllable fusion technology. They are bound to win. After successive major setbacks, North America will never be reconciled to losing its nuclear hegemony.
而华夏核能领域，目前一直是国家队在搞，星辰科技有一个聚变预研中心，虽然规模较小，只能算公司里的二级中型部门，但年度预算却高达一百七十亿元，并且还有追加二次预算的权利。
As for Huaxia’s nuclear energy field, the national team has been engaged in it at present. Xingchen Technology has a fusion pre-research center. 100 million yuan, and has the right to supplement the secondary budget.
按照星辰科技的预算制度，那些一般性质的实验室，一旦年度预算确定，总部是不会追加预算的，如果提前把预算花完了，就只能减少工作量，等待下一年度预算出炉。
According to the budget system of Xingchen Technology, once the annual budget is determined for those laboratories of a general nature, the headquarters will not increase the budget. If the budget is spent in advance, the workload can only be reduced and the budget for the next year will be released. .
而要是材料部，生命科学部，这样的重点部门，预算则是可以追加的，由于研究任务极其重要，财务总监路涛就算去抢，也要全力支持他们把研究搞下去，聚变中心恰恰就是公司重点部门的一员。
As for the material department, the life science department, and other key departments, the budget can be added. Since the research task is extremely important, even if Lu Tao, the chief financial officer, wants to grab it, he must fully support them in carrying out the research. Fusion Center It just happens to be a member of the company’s key departments.
这些情况说明，罗佳对聚变中心非常重视，只是由于核力量的敏感性，在没有得到国家队许可的情况下，不方便大张旗鼓研究，但悄悄向聚变领域砸钱这种事情，星辰科技一直都在做。
These circumstances show that Luo Jia attaches great importance to the fusion center, but due to the sensitivity of nuclear forces, it is inconvenient to conduct research with great fanfare without the permission of the national team, but quietly throwing money at the fusion field, the stars Technology does it all the time.
另外，星辰科技有集中力量办大事的传统，目前全公司的力量，都被集中在太空电梯计划，生命科学部因为独立运营，力度也比较大，而可控聚变，量子这类研究领域虽然很重要，但也只能往后排，排在能源，半导体和太空三大项的后面。
In addition, Xingchen Technology has a tradition of concentrating its efforts on major projects. At present, the entire company’s strength is concentrated on the space elevator project. The Life Science Department is relatively strong because of its independent operation, and researches such as controllable fusion and quantum Although the field is very important, it can only be ranked at the back, behind the three major items of energy, semiconductors and space.
总而言之，观察北美主要科研机构的研究方向，可以判断出他们对于未来的计划和设想，以及我国未来将在哪些领域，和北美展开针尖对麦芒的生死之争。
All in all, by observing the research directions of major scientific research institutions in North America, we can judge their plans and assumptions for the future, as well as the fields in which our country will start a life-and-death struggle with North America.
北美旗下，头号科研巨无霸就是负责太空计划的NASA，其次是能源部，下属七大实验室，实力强悍极了，唯一不同就是，能源部采用分化独立经营的策略，其实如果七大实验室合并的话，毫无疑问，他们将是第二个NASA。
In North America, the number one scientific research giant is NASA, which is in charge of the space program, followed by the Ministry of Energy, which has seven laboratories under it. If the big laboratories merge, there is no doubt that they will be the second NASA.
由此可见，太空和能源，是北美发展的重点。
It can be seen that space and energy are the focus of North American development.
排名第三的科研方向是计算机，和麻省理工有着紧密联系的林肯实验室，百年老店贝尔实验室，是这个研究方向的主要代表，另外包括NASA和橡树岭在内的其他实验室，也有计算机方向的研究项目。
The third scientific research direction is computer. Lincoln Laboratory, which is closely related to MIT, and Bell Labs, a century-old store, are the main representatives of this research direction. In addition, other experiments including NASA and Oak Ridge There are also computer-oriented research projects.
排名第四的是医药以及生命科学方向，在这一领域中，药理研究主要依靠北美疾控中心下属的各大研究机构，还有以辉瑞为首的制药巨头，以及各大医学院实验室，更不能不提号称生命科学全球第一的冷泉港实验室。
Ranked fourth is the direction of medicine and life sciences. In this field, pharmacological research mainly relies on the major research institutions under the North American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as pharmaceutical giants headed by Pfizer, as well as experiments in major medical schools. laboratory, not to mention the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, which claims to be the world’s number one in life sciences.
在被星辰科技下属生命科学部击败后，冷泉港实验室转入了地下，主要研究员一夜之间查无踪迹，也不知道他们究竟在搞什么鬼。
After being defeated by the Life Science Department of Star Technology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory went underground. The main researcher disappeared overnight, and they don’t know what the **** they were doing.
这种现象非但没有令罗佳安心，反而令他变的忧心忡忡，屡次三番督促温家兄弟，加大对生命科学领域的投入，以防哪天沃森和莱因哈特之类的家伙，突然跳出来，吓全世界一大跳。
This phenomenon not only did not reassure Luo Jia, but also made him worried. He repeatedly urged the Wen family brothers to increase investment in the field of life sciences, in case Watson and Reinhardt one day The guy who jumped out suddenly, frightened the whole world.
排名第五是人工智能，主要依靠谷歌为首的互联网企业，以及各大院校在发展，但是近年来，北美国家队进入这一研究领域的迹象愈发明显，特别是星辰科技的智能助理小星星横空出世后，包括阿贡实验室在内的国家力量，都开始深度介入这一领域，而在北美之外，英国卡文迪什实验室和剑桥大学的联合项目组，也取得了惊人的进步，他们都在步步紧逼小星星的江湖地位。
Ranked fifth is artificial intelligence, mainly relying on Internet companies headed by Google, as well as various colleges and universities for development, but in recent years, the signs of the North American national team entering this research field have become more and more obvious, especially the intelligence of Star Technology After Assistant Little Star was born, national forces including Argonne Labs began to deeply intervene in this field, and outside of North America, the joint project team of Cavendish Labs and Cambridge University in the UK also achieved They have made astonishing progress, and they are all pressing for the status of the little star in the arena.
第六是量子以及超导方向，也就是星辰科技大顶级天才朝安邦负责的项目，量子典型属于未来的领域，有可能为人类打开面对宇宙时候全新的视角和维度，目前还在建设理论的道路上，距离发展起来为时尚远，但潜力绝对巨大。
The sixth is the direction of quantum and superconductivity, which is the project that Chao Anbang, the top genius of Star Technology, is in charge of. On the road of building theory, it is still far from being developed, but the potential is absolutely huge.
反正大国之争，人类历史上的巅峰对决，绝不像普通人想象中那么简单就是了，有太多领域，中美要一争高下。
Anyway, the great power struggle, the pinnacle duel in human history, is by no means as simple as ordinary people imagine. There are too many areas where China and the United States will compete.
此时此刻，舒拉克尔意气风，来到橡树岭实验室的高层会议室外等待召唤，他才二十四岁，就已经成功拿下了3D芯片项目，这可是绝对足以载入史册的成绩啊。
At this moment, Shula Keer came to the high-level meeting room of the Oak Ridge Laboratory in high spirits and waited for the call. He was only 24 years old, and he had already successfully won the 3D chip project, which is definitely enough to be recorded in history achievement.
然而正在走向人生巅峰的舒拉克尔同学，满脑子想的都是一个男人，有着鸡窝般乱发，总是一副没有睡醒样子，对现实世界仿佛缺乏兴趣般的华夏年轻男人，想着他的音容样貌。
However, student Shula Keer, who is on his way to the pinnacle of life, is full of thoughts about a man, with messy hair like a chicken coop, always looking awake, and a young Chinese man who seems to have no interest in the real world , thinking about his voice and appearance.
“曹原！你已经在材料学领域封神，而我，也将走上半导体领域的巅峰！”
“Cao Yuan! You have become a **** in the field of materials science, and I will also reach the pinnacle of the semiconductor field!”
舒拉克尔心中默念着曹原的名字，渐渐攥紧拳头，仿佛对曹原怀着某种怨恨。
Shulaker silently recited Cao Yuan’s name in his heart, and gradually clenched his fists, as if harboring some kind of resentment towards Cao Yuan.
假设你了解曹原的话，就会明白，舒拉克尔默默怨恨着他，这件事本身没有任何异常。
If you know Cao Yuan well, you will understand that there is nothing unusual about Shula Keer silently resenting him.
因为曹原有着遭人嫉恨体质，这来自于他对虐菜的执着，明明有已经是世界上最重要的科学家之一，曹原的时间本应该比金子还要宝贵，然而他却拿出大量时间，跑到各种游戏里，凭着自己的强大天赋虐菜，乐此不疲。
Because Cao Yuan has a physique that is hated by others, which comes from his obsession with abusing food. He is already one of the most important scientists in the world. Cao Yuan’s time should be more precious than gold, but he Spend a lot of time, go to various games, abuse food with your own powerful talent, never get tired of it.
其实在曹原更年轻的时候，他对于在论坛上和别人争论的兴趣，要超过虐菜，然而随着他渐渐长大，明白了话语既是权利的道理，明白成为一名键盘强者并不能推动社会进步，那些生性顽冥不灵的家伙，也不会因为自己的睿智观点而幡然醒悟。
Actually, when Cao Yuan was younger, he was more interested in arguing with others on the forum than in arguing with others. Those who are not able to promote social progress, those who are stubborn by nature, will not be awakened because of their wise views.
于是，曹原放弃拯救那些顽固笨蛋的想法，一心一意在游戏里虐菜，反正把所有对手全部搞郁闷，他自己就高兴了。
Therefore, Cao Yuan gave up the idea of saving those stubborn idiots, and devoted himself to abusing food in the game. Anyway, he made all his opponents depressed, and he was happy.
舒拉克尔就是其中一个受害者，他永远也无法忘记曹原那风骚的一枪，直接打爆了自己的脑袋，舒拉克尔看着飞溅满屏幕的鲜红血液，惊讶的目瞪口呆，并且深深记住了行凶者曹原的名字。
Shulaker was one of the victims. He would never forget Cao Yuan’s coquettish shot, which directly blew his own head off. Seeing the bright red blood splattered all over the screen, Shulaker was stunned and stunned. He deeply remembered the name of the perpetrator Cao Yuan.
在这个只有疯子和偏执狂才能生存的世界里，舒拉克尔能够脱颖而出，凭借的资本除了天赋之外，还有石头般的顽固和执着。
In this world where only lunatics and paranoids can survive, Shulakel can stand out, relying on his capital, in addition to talent, as well as stone-like stubbornness and persistence.
下一局再战，舒拉克尔死，行凶者曹原。
Fight again in the next round, Shula Keer died, and the perpetrator was Cao Yuan.
再下一局，舒拉克尔死，行凶者还是曹原，并且在击杀完成后，曹原很嚣张的发出一个嘴角上翘的笑脸，这种不屑一顾的态度，彻底刺伤了舒拉克尔的自尊，令他感到血液上涌，脑门上乍起一条条青筋。
In the next round, Shula Keer died, and the perpetrator was Cao Yuan, and after the kill, Cao Yuan arrogantly let out a smile with an upturned corner of his mouth. This dismissive attitude completely stabbed him. It hurt Shula Keer’s self-esteem, making him feel blood rushing up, and veins popped up on his forehead.
人都是两面的，曹原是无与伦比的天才，但与此同时，他也是游戏中最嚣张的凌虐者，人们总是看到曹原顶着一张人畜无伤的笑脸，那是因为他把所有情绪都拿到游戏里发泄掉了，留给大家的，永远都是开心和没睡醒。
People have two sides, Cao Yuan is an unparalleled genius, but at the same time, he is also the most arrogant abuser in the game, people always see Cao Yuan with a harmless smiling face, that is Because he vented all his emotions in the game, leaving everyone happy and awake forever.
舒拉克尔的性格过于顽固，3D芯片的研究中，无可避免要遇到电子迁移的问题，无数科学家对此束手无策，甚至就此放弃，但舒拉克尔却一路死磕，从他立下研究3D芯片技术这个目标以来，就从未有过哪怕一丝一毫的动摇。
Shulaker’s character is too stubborn. In the research of 3D chips, it is inevitable to encounter the problem of electron migration. Countless scientists are helpless and even give up. Since the goal of researching 3D chip technology, there has never been even the slightest wavering.
如此性格放在他和曹原的私人恩怨里，就是无休无止的挑战，曹原有不停换游戏的习惯，玩一段时间，感觉游戏没有了新鲜感，曹原就会马上删号，换到另外一款游戏。
Putting such a character in his personal grievances with Cao Yuan is an endless challenge. Cao Yuan has the habit of changing games constantly. Delete the number and switch to another game.
舒拉克尔死盯曹原社交账号的动态，曹原去哪里，舒拉克尔就追到哪里。
Shulaker keeps a close eye on the dynamics of Cao Yuan’s social account, wherever Cao Yuan goes, Shulaker will follow wherever he goes.
想来也是真爱了，一年，两年，三年，四年，转眼已经是第五个年头了，可怜人生苦短，能有几个五年啊。
Thinking about it is also true love, one year, two years, three years, four years, it is already the fifth year in a blink of an eye, poor life is too short, how many five years can there be?
……
…
华夏西北，酒泉航天基地。
Northwest China, Jiuquan Aerospace Base.
吃过晚饭，曹原和往常一样，躺在浴缸里拿出手机，登陆到游戏界面。
After dinner, Cao Yuan lay in the bathtub as usual, took out his mobile phone, and logged in to the game interface.
“好熟悉的感觉啊。”连续双杀一个网名叫克莱恩的家伙之后，曹原耸了耸肩，在心里自言自语。
“It feels so familiar.” After double-killing a guy named Klein, Cao Yuan shrugged and said to himself.
习惯是一种很难改变的存在，走路时候先迈出左脚还是右脚，吃面条的时候先喝一口汤，然后再吃面。
Habit is an existence that is difficult to change. When walking, take the left foot or the right foot first. When eating noodles, drink a sip of soup first, and then eat noodles.
游戏也是，有些人的游戏风格像狐狸一样狡猾，喜欢躲在角落里阴敌人，还有的像勇者一样奋不顾身，永远冲杀在战斗一线，手持巨剑，出招凌厉，大开大合。
Games are the same. Some people play like foxes, who like to hide in corners to intimidate the enemy. Others are like brave men, always rushing to the front line of the battle, holding a giant sword, making fierce moves, opening and closing. .
曹原敏锐发现，这位名叫克莱恩的网友风格似曾相识，事实上，每当曹原开启一段新的游戏征程，总能遇到类似克莱恩的家伙，他或许叫克里斯蒂亚诺，或许叫布朗宁萨尔加多，名字不同，形象各异，但战斗风格永远都是一样的。
Cao Yuan keenly noticed that the style of this netizen named Klein seemed familiar. In fact, whenever Cao Yuan started a new game journey, he would always meet someone similar to Klein. His name might be Cristiano. Maybe Browning Salgado, with a different name and a different image, but the fighting style will always be the same.
唰唰唰~
唰唰唰唰~
曹原没想太多，以一个精彩的回旋杀，第三次干掉克莱恩，然后沿着地图的边缘前进，去往下一个集结点。
Cao Yuan didn’t think too much, he killed Klein for the third time with a wonderful roundabout kill, and then moved along the edge of the map to the next assembly point.
“好无聊啊，总是和这种无趣的对手战斗，会让我的游戏水平退步，可这家伙偏偏很喜欢和我战斗的样子。”
“It’s so boring. Always fighting against such boring opponents will make my game level regress, but this guy just likes fighting me.”
想到这，曹原在游戏聊天频道打字，“拜托，你能不能不要跟着我，去找别人玩吧，我很忙的…”
Thinking of this, Cao Yuan typed in the game chat channel, “Please, can you stop following me and find someone else to play with, I’m very busy…”
……
…
田纳西州，
Tennessee,
抓住手机的手在颤抖，而心却在滴血。
The hand holding the phone is trembling, but the heart is bleeding.
“舒拉克尔博士？”
“Dr. Shulakel?”
听到声音~Soverse.com~舒拉克尔长出一口气，抬起头，看到有着一头金发，漂亮的秘书小姐正对自己微笑。
Hearing the voice~Soverse.com~Shu Lakel let out a long breath, looked up, and saw a beautiful secretary with blond hair smiling at him.
“你可真是我见过最喜欢玩游戏的科学家，连这点时间都要玩上一局，真不知道游戏究竟有怎样的魅力，主任让我通知你，来自华盛顿的客人们已经准备好了，他们要见你。”秘书小姐说。
“You are the scientist who likes to play games the most I have ever seen. You have to play a game for a while. I really don’t know how attractive the game is. The director asked me to inform you that the guests from Washington have already Get ready, they want to see you.” Miss Secretary said.
舒拉克尔站起身，想了想，不甘心的将手机调成静音，然后放进裤子口袋里，大步向会议室走去。
Shulaker stood up, thought for a while, and reluctantly turned the phone to silent, put it in his pants pocket, and strode towards the meeting room.
“恭喜你，舒拉克尔博士！我刚才在会议室里，听主任和华盛顿的客人，都对你赞不绝口呢！”秘书在舒拉克尔身后补充了一句。
“Congratulations, Dr. Shulakel! I was in the conference room just now, listening to the director and the guests in Washington full of praise for you!” The secretary added behind Shulakel.
赞不绝口？
Full of praise?
舒拉克尔心中没有任何骄傲，满脑子想的都是那个顶着鸡窝般乱发，永远都仿佛睡不醒一般漫不经心的华夏男人。
Shulaker didn’t have any pride in his heart, all he could think about was the Chinese man with messy hair like a chicken coop, always as inattentive as if he couldn’t wake up.
那个名叫曹原，自己宿命般的对手。
That name is Cao Yuan, his fateful opponent.
