At the same time that the 1,300-second ignition of the EAST facility in Huaguo completely detonated the heat about controlled nuclear fusion technology and shook the entire community of controlled nuclear fusion physics, the researchers and engineers in the iTER laboratory on the outskirts of the Alpes-Care Coast region are still commuting to and from work, completing their work in an ordinary way, and then chatting over coffee during their breaks.

However, from everyone's face, a little dull expression can be seen more or less.

The latest research by the Chinese people, as well as Liu Feng's paper, shattered their pride like a bolt from the blue.

I thought that as a gathering place for the world's elites, they would be able to lead the world in the cause of controlled nuclear fusion.

Even country M, which claims to be the world's only superpower, and the first national laboratory to conduct controlled nuclear fusion research, cannot have more say in this research than them.

However, this self-confidence was defeated by one person, yes, one person!

Without that Professor Liu, it would have been impossible for the Huaguo EAST team to complete the impressive record of 1300 seconds, or even 100 seconds, I am afraid it would be an extravagant hope!

It is no exaggeration to say that the breakthrough of this technology is all the credit of Professor Liu Feng, who alone defeated thousands of scientists who are known as the most professional scientists on the earth!

The most frustrating thing is that they can't even figure out how the EAST device managed to get to this point with inferior 'superconducting' materials!

Looking at the paper in their hands, the faces of the group of people were full of solemn expressions, as if they were reading the Bible, and they were reverently flipping through it.

Yuki Matsuda read the paper dozens of times, but no matter how many times he looked at it, when he saw those dazzling data, he couldn't help but be shocked by the facts behind the paper.

Masato Hirose, the assistant standing next to him, took a deep breath and couldn't help but speak.

"It's incredible, does Professor Liu Feng really have the power to turn decay into magic?"

Yuki Matsuda sighed and put the paper in his hand on the table: "He really has such power! If we had known that he was also engaged in controlled nuclear fusion research, he would not have agreed to impose material restrictions on China in the first place, and now, I am afraid it is impossible for him to join our iTER organization." ”

Masato Hirose nodded.

The decision to impose a material blockade on China and refuse to provide the supply of superconducting magnet coils was something that several of them unanimously agreed on, and if they had known that Liu Feng had decided to engage in research in this area, I am afraid that they would not have made such a hasty decision to say anything.

After all, the energy of a great master of physics is immeasurable, just like the "Theory of Mutual Transformation of Strong Electromagnetic Fields of High-energy Particles" proposed by Liu Feng in the blink of an eye......

"Okay, it's too late to say anything now!" Yuki Matsuda shook his head, "Fortunately, Professor Liu Feng is a real scholar, without self-cherishment, and after learning his theory, we will definitely be able to achieve the results of EAST in the future, and even stronger!"

While the two were talking, there was a knock at the door, and a researcher walked in.

"Professor, Mr. Reginod has asked me to inform you of the meeting in the conference room at once. ”

"Do you know what the topic is?"

"I heard that someone from the committee came to ......."

The committee in the mouth of the researcher is the official representative of each country in the iTER project team, responsible for reporting the progress of the iTER project to each country.

In short, it can't be offended, and the last 1200-second ignition test was also canceled by these people.

Hearing the name of the committee, Professor Yuki Matsuda sighed tiredly, put his hands on the armrests of the office chair, and slowly stood up.

"Got it, I'll go over now. ”

Large conference room.

When Yuki Matsuda walked from the office, he happened to see a group of people walking in from the outside, and Professor Reginod quickly got up to meet him.

Looking at the first two, Reginod cleared his throat and squeezed out a slightly stiff smile on his face.

"Mr. Abner, Mr. Humphrey, welcome to the lab, what is the wind that has brought you here?"

Instead of laughing, Abner and Humphrey said with expressionless faces, "Stop talking nonsense, have all the people in the meeting arrived?"

Reginord's expression froze slightly, and then nodded.

In academia, whoever holds the funds is the father.

This is true in all countries.

Although his mood at this moment is not very good, and it can even be said that it is quite bad, he still has to hold back those negative emotions in his heart.

The two came to the rostrum, and Abner knocked on the microphone on the stage and said unceremoniously: "The people above are very disappointed in you!"

"We have obviously restricted the footsteps of the Chinese people, and even did not hesitate to offend the Chinese people and violate the regulations for this, but you still can't compete with them!"

"Why did those Chinese people use our superconducting materials to do 1,000 seconds ahead of you? Why did those Chinese people use their broken copper and iron to do 1,300 seconds? And just a few months later!"

"As for you, so far, you haven't even done it for 100 seconds! Maybe my words are ugly, but I still want to ask, are you experts who claim to be the best in the world all eat dry food?"

Reginod's eyebrows twitched violently, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he still patiently argued.

"Yes, you're right. They are indeed one step ahead of us. However, it's not that we can't do 1000 seconds of ignition, it's because of ....... ”

"I'm not here to hear you explain the reasons for your failure. ”

Unceremoniously interrupting Reginald's explanation, Abner spoke.

"We have invested tens of billions of euros in you, and you have painted us a pie for decades. But the fact is that you are not only far from the outcome of your business, but you have even been technologically surpassed by a red country! Are you worthy of the tens of billions of dollars, worthy of all the taxpayers? Even if it is to give a reasonable explanation to our parliament and our allies, you have to catch up with me. ”

"Originally, I thought that the higher authorities would cut your expenses, but this time, I was wrong. ”

Abner said slowly, in a very unpleasant tone.

Hearing this, a strange expression flashed on the face of Yuki Matsuda in the audience.

"Although your stupidity has given the Chinese people a head start in controlled nuclear fusion technology, the people above have decided to spend an additional 2 billion euros to speed up the research and development process......

Although everyone present was not accustomed to Abner's face, the truth was indeed helpless, and those politicians would never let those who use money and those who manage money come together and complicit.

Forget it, for the sake of 2 billion euros, huh? 2 billion euros!

Whether it was Reginord or Yuki Matsuda or others, they were stunned by the news!

When did the people above become so generous?

In the past, I had to worry about even hundreds of thousands of small dollars......

"This is your last chance! If you continue to lose to those Chinese people in research, I think you guys who eat white rice should take the initiative to resign!"

After the two high-ranking officials of the committee finished their words, they walked out of the conference room without looking back, leaving a group of people staring at each other......

So, on a sunny and sunny day, on the iTER side, after thoroughly studying Liu Feng's "Theory of Mutual Transformation of High Energy Particles with Strong Electromagnetic Fields", Reginord, as the rotating host~, straightened his chest and proudly announced again:

As the world's leader in human controlled magnetic confinement nuclear fusion research, we will also build a fusion experimental reactor that can achieve large-scale fusion reactions in the next 10 years, leading human controlled nuclear fusion research to the most critical step in practical use. It is expected that in the next 20 years, our controlled nuclear fusion will be commercialized! This most glorious monument in human history is destined to be opened by us!"

As a result, the EU side has also announced very cooperatively that it will continue to inject 2 billion euros as follow-up research and development funds for controlled nuclear fusion projects.

And listening to this news, other countries are not to be outdone.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Energy of country M directly held a press conference, announcing that it would invest 5 billion US dollars in the controllable nuclear fusion project, and vowed to independently build a large-scale fusion experimental reactor in the next 15 years.

Stimulated by this, others, such as Ah San, Toray, Mao Xiong and Nanbangguo, have also increased their investment in controlled nuclear fusion experiments, or 1 billion, or hundreds of millions, to name a few.

Of course, Huaguo is even more unlikely to be subservient, as the Ministry of Science and Technology ~ Comrade Zhang Qin announced in front of the world's media that Huaguo will invest 100 billion yuan to develop domestic controllable nuclear fusion technology, and even the specific planning has been planned, including 5 years in the construction phase, 10 years in the operation and development and utilization stage, and 2 years in the deactivation stage, in short, it is also expected that in the next 20 years or so, the nuclear fusion reactor will be controlled for commercial power generation.

For a time, the world was in an uproar.

The media, on online television, is full of news about controlled nuclear fusion.

On the stock market, nuclear power projects have become red suns in an instant, while other traditional new and old energy projects, such as oil, coal, wind power, and solar energy, have simply fallen into green grasslands.

For a while, there was no shortage of shareholders who had invested heavily in this field and cried bitterly, why did TM fall again!

However, unlike these wool men in their later years, Liu Feng, who saw these messy news, smiled and laughed very happily.

Because he knows that the fish have already taken the bait!

Isn't the reason why he released the "Theory of Mutual Transformation of High Energy Particles and Strong Electromagnetic Fields" to add fire to the world's mediocre controllable nuclear fusion projects?

The more other countries invest in controlled fusion, the less they will invest in antimatter engineering or other projects.

And when he gets the antimatter technology out, looking back and looking back at today, those people will know that Huaguo's so-called 100 billion yuan controllable nuclear fusion program, 3 billion of which can be invested in it is very good, and at that time, presumably those guys will hate themselves to death, haha!

While inspecting the modified Beijing Positron Collider with Boss Wang and others, Liu Feng was overjoyed when he recalled the phone call with the Great Elder at that time.

"My Professor Liu, weren't you optimistic about the controllable nuclear fusion project at the beginning, why didn't you put a good antimatter project and go to Hefei to study nuclear fusion!"

On the phone, the Great Elder couldn't help but laugh.

"Great Elder, don't worry, the antimatter side is going according to plan, as for the controlled nuclear fusion side, it's just a coincidence......"

Therefore, Liu Feng explained the similarities between antimatter engineering and controlled nuclear fusion in terms of magnetic confinement, and then explained from beginning to end the intersection that occurred on the side of Academician Li Zhengwu in order to recruit people, and why it would help them study controlled nuclear fusion.

"Are you saying that this is just a coincidence, and besides, because of the constraints of materials, our domestic controllable nuclear fusion business has reached a bottleneck?" the Great Elder asked suspiciously.

"That's right. The ignition time of controlled nuclear fusion is already heavily dependent on the development of superconducting magnet coil materials, and even with the help of my theory, it can be doubled in a short period of time, but the future development potential may have been exhausted, and I think that in the next 50 years, even if we go all out in this direction, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the day when controlled nuclear fusion will successfully enter commercial operation. Liu Feng replied with great certainty, "Therefore, I do not agree with the country's large-scale investment in the direction of controllable nuclear fusion, this is a bottomless pit!"

"So, what other suggestions do you have?" the Great Elder nodded, seeming to agree with Liu Feng's statement.

"Great Elder, let me ask weakly, does our country really have such an organization as a war situation, is Professor Zhang Zhaozhong the director of the bureau? I think it's time for them to play a role. Liu Feng smiled gloomily, like a cunning fox.

When the Great Elder heard the song and knew the meaning of the song, he couldn't help but laugh and cry: "You, you, what kind of war is the situation, that's just a joke on the Internet." Well, but you're also right, since other countries have decided to invest huge sums of money in controlled nuclear fusion, how can we, China, as a world power, be left behind? ”

On the phone, two foxes, one big and one small, showed a cheerful smile......
