Chapter 1044: East Africa lacks virtue
This rectification is quite effective, especially since the safety of some laboratories or research institutions in East Africa has been greatly improved, such as the Institute of Nuclear Physics, which Ernst has never personally inspected.
The current process of nuclear physics research can be said to be quite difficult, especially because there is no effective protection against radioactive materials. Although there are special protective suits in East Africa, mainly made of lead and other elements, they cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof, and Ernst naturally did not Put yourself in danger.
Nuclear physics research in East Africa began in the late 1990s, which was the period when Europe was initially exploring radioactive materials. Under the leadership of Ernst, East Africa naturally also carried out relevant research in advance.
There was a shortage of corresponding talents in the early days. After all, the discovery and research of radioactive substances in Europe had just started. Similarly, European research in related fields was not much ahead of East Africa, and it was scattered in various countries. Governments of various countries except East Africa Apparently he doesn't pay much attention to nuclear physics either.
Therefore, East Africa is currently considered one of the most developed countries in the field of nuclear physics research in the world. During the First Five-Year Plan, the field of nuclear physics research in East Africa was also in a stage of rapid development.
The harm of radioactive materials to the human body can be said to be more dangerous than that of the chemical industry. Therefore, the East African nuclear physics research institution must not be located in the capital, or some major cities, but in the central and western regions.
Of course, under difficult circumstances, the East African government will naturally provide relevant subsidies and enjoy the highest treatment in the country. Even their subsequent life and family future, the East African government has made corresponding arrangements.
After all, mankind’s early understanding of radioactive substances was seriously insufficient. Although Ernst could make some interventions, he could not solve the root problem.
The earlier the research, the less strict the rules should be. After all, if people realize the dangers of radioactive materials, there will probably not be many people willing to contribute to the field.
For example, scientists who study radioactivity in Europe have working conditions that are even worse than those in East Africa. For example, the famous Curies were exposed to radioactive materials all day long, so much so that Ernst could not even hire these two pioneers in human nuclear physics research. Issuing invitations and contacting East African scientists will also be a hidden disaster for scientific research in East Africa.
The current characterization of radioactive materials in East Africa is "unknown", that is, it is uncertain whether there is any hazard. Although Ernst knows the answer for sure, he cannot explain it directly. This is a relatively unfamiliar area for Ernst.
At present, the main direction of human reuse of radioactive substances is concentrated in the medical field, that is, using its properties of killing cancer cells to treat cancer and other diseases.
This is obviously not allowed by law in East Africa, and Ernst’s excuse is that since radioactive substances can kill cancer cells, whether they have the same effect on normal human cells, East African researchers cannot give a clear answer at this stage. , so East Africa naturally isolates nuclear physics research.
This is of course not conducive to nuclear physics research in East Africa. Therefore, in order to make up for the shortcomings caused by some rigid regulations, East Africa can only invest more resources to ensure the development of its own nuclear physics.
Including the construction of separate railways, highway transportation, separate living environments, separate scientific laboratories, and separate scientific experiment sites, which also greatly reduces the correlation between the East African Institute of Nuclear Physics and other disciplines. At the same time, this self-contained The scientific research model naturally requires more costs.
At the government meeting, Ernst emphasized: "The collection of radioactive materials must use separate special containers, such as lead boxes, etc. The same is true for waste disposal. After use, it must be sealed and registered, and it must be Concentrate exports to countries outside the region.”
This approach is a typical example of a dead Taoist friend and a poor Taoist. It is as immoral as Japan in its previous life. However, at present, other countries obviously will not know or pay attention to Ernst's sinister intentions.
In previous generations, many countries with nuclear industries liked to export nuclear waste to Africa. Ernst's approach could be regarded as repaying the other's favor.
"At the same time, we must do a good job in safeguarding the research on radioactive materials and not be careless. Especially for our own nuclear physics researchers, the remuneration must be set at the highest level, and their families must also be given preferential treatment to solve their worries."
Officials in East Africa did not understand this. Just like many chemical substances today, humans do not know the specific dangers, so it is easy for many problems to be ignored or covered up. Naturally, Ernst could not change this situation.
Scientific research has its pros and cons. Ernst naturally knew the risks of many scientific research work, but if it was tied too tightly, it would be detrimental to the rapid development of scientific research work. If East Africa does not want to be surpassed by other countries, it must bear such risks.
Of course, this is obviously unfair to some scientific researchers in East Africa. Ernst's behavior is, to put it mildly, sending them to death, and this was done when Ernst knew the risks and hazards.
In this regard, Ernst naturally had no good solution except to compensate in other ways these personnel who were destined to sacrifice for the scientific research in East Africa.
Of course, nuclear physics research in East Africa is not limited to the mainland. In fact, East Africa has set up a number of laboratories in Europe and the United States.
Utilizing European and American scientists to work for East Africa, East Africa only needs to provide funds and wait for the final data results.
So the nuclear physics research institutes established by East Africa abroad are very different from those in East Africa. They are even located in the core areas of developed cities such as New York and London. Then scientists from Europe and the United States conduct acceleration or experiments on radioactive materials without any protective measures.
Of course, in an era when the understanding of radioactive materials is not comprehensive, naturally no one will notice that there is anything unusual about East Africa's actions.
Apart from anything else, Marie Curie's laboratory was built in the University of Paris, so East Africa's construction of nuclear physics research institutes and laboratories in developed cities in Europe and the United States can be said to have no sense of disobedience.
So East Africa's behavior in the field of nuclear physics research is very unethical. In addition to harming domestic researchers, it persecutes foreign researchers even more.
Of course, relevant European and American researchers naturally do not realize this, but will be grateful to the "financial masters" behind them. After all, radioactive materials have not shown great value at present. These foreign nuclear physics research institutions built in East Africa are equivalent to providing them with a place to work, and they do not need to go to the "corners" of East Africa. Working in their own country, the treatment is relatively generous, which is simply "appropriate".
After all, no one would think that someone in a small town in East Africa would be doing nuclear physics research in obscurity when they can work and live in New York or London.
Therefore, local nuclear physics researchers in East Africa are mainly talents trained by East Africa's own education system. There are very few foreigners. Many of them returned from studying in Europe and the United States and joined the national call.
Of course, in this way, East Africa's nuclear physics research is relatively separated from European and American countries. The exchanges and cooperation between European and American researchers are closer. On the contrary, although East Africa has the best treatment, it has less exchanges with European and American researchers.
In this way, East African nuclear physics research will naturally have certain restrictions. This is also the main reason why East Africa invests in and builds nuclear physics research institutions abroad. Through these foreign nuclear physics research institutions, data and intelligence references can be provided for domestic nuclear physics research, and some risky experiments can be reduced.
Early nuclear physics research was not valued by the government, so it was not difficult to obtain information on nuclear physics research abroad in East Africa. For example, many of the scientific research results of the Curies were public.
Under such circumstances, East African nuclear physics research would naturally not be "blind", and with the help of the powerful state machinery behind it, almost all the requests of East African nuclear physics researchers were met. Under such circumstances, after the early nuclear physics research framework in East Africa was established, East African nuclear physics research work also developed smoothly and achieved great results, leaving its European and American counterparts far behind.
