Ma Yang's question disrupted Vigo's train of thought, and with the echo of the other members of the delegation, he put aside his doubts and introduced the design goal of ITER, "According to our goal, when ITER is completed, it will achieve such a goal, which is to confine hundreds of millions of degrees of high-temperature plasma composed of deuterium and tritium in a magnetic cage with a volume of 837 cubic meters, generating 500,000 kilowatts of fusion power for 500 seconds." ”

Mr. Vigo's tone turned uplifting, and he loudly proclaimed the great significance of this goal, "500,000 kilowatts of thermal power is already equivalent to the level of a small thermal power station, and this will be the first time that mankind has obtained sustained, high-temperature plasma with a large number of nuclear fusion reactions on Earth, producing controlled fusion energy close to the scale of a power station!"

This time, Ma Yang reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Vigo's words to end, he changed his expression of excitement and envy, and took the lead in applauding, but what he thought in his heart was another matter; in the previous test, the Suiren-1 real Yàn reactor achieved a stable output lasting more than 200 seconds, and the output power also reached half of the design target of ITER; and the design goal of the new reactor under construction far exceeded that of ITER, and the energy output duration is expected to reach 1,200 seconds, and the output power is much larger than that of ITER。

"Of course, the construction of this project has just begun, and it will take a long time to achieve the expected goal!" The construction period of ITER is expected to be ten years, but according to the current work efficiency, the actual construction time will definitely be longer than this.

"I would like to thank the esteemed Professor Nie and his team members!" said Bigo politely, "The successful construction and operation of EastM has provided ITER with many effective numbers. Without the contributions of Professor Nie and his colleagues, I am afraid that the construction of ITER would have continued to prolong!"

East is by far the only device that can provide the ITER with a real number of Yàn Jù for the ultra-tokamak reactor part, and its structure and application technology are exactly the same as the planned ITER, which can basically be regarded as a quarter-sized ITER, and they are all designed with non-circular vertical sections. It is used to increase the volume of the reactor and improve the efficiency of the magnetic field, and at the same time, the superconducting system with no loss of liquid helium is also adopted, which saves expensive liquid helium and reduces the cost of equipment operation.

And Huaguo also provides a variety of conveniences for ITER in other aspects, such as 70% of the 10% share of funds borne by Huaguo is paid for with ITER parts made in Huaguo, if this news spreads, I am afraid that those who advocate made in the United States and made in Germany will be scared to pee, what? The most advanced scientific research equipment in the world still uses components made in Huaguo? They are not afraid of the explosion of the equipment? However, some time ago, the equipment that had been shipped had already docked at the port of Marseille and had already been accepted by ITER. And gave a very high rating.

The remaining 30% of the cost is offset by the staff stationed in ITER, and the amount to be paid at the time is only 20%, if calculated according to the cost of 5 billion US dollars, Huaguo needs to pay only 20% of the 500 million US dollars, that is, 100 million US dollars, just spending this little money to occupy an important position in the ITER project, this business is really cost-effective.

Thinking of the process of the various countries that Academician Nie told when he was at the airport, Ma Yang couldn't help but be happy. If the ITER program had been launched as early as 1985, what would have happened to China?

Let's be honest in the field of controlled nuclear fusion. Mr. Wang Ganchang's efforts in the past have made Huaguo not lagging behind the West in the basic theoretical work of controlled nuclear fusion, and Lu Qiujian is now leading the team of the Xihe Project to achieve theoretical overtaking! Of course, these theoretical research results are currently only known to the core personnel in the project.

Second, the abundant rare earth resources in the Mongolian steppe have allowed China to develop superconductivity technology and laser technology by leaps and bounds, so that China has not lagged behind the West much in these two important areas of controlled nuclear fusion. Some specific branches are even afraid of being the first in the world, and with the huge funding of the Xihe Project for various cooperative units, it is only a matter of time before I believe that these two fields will catch up with and surpass the West.

At the same time, changes in the international situation and differences among Western countries have also bought time for China's controllable nuclear fusion; after the collapse of the Red Empire, Lucia sold the inheritance of the woolly bear, allowing the HT-7 Super Extension Mark device, which embodies the efforts of countless geniuses of the Red Empire, to fall into the hands of China. It allowed the scientists of Huaguo to understand the secrets of this device comprehensively and systematically.

At the same time, the ITER project has delayed the research of Western countries on controlled nuclear fusion for 20 years, and this has won China time to catch up and overtake in a corner! Although the people of the United States have the manpower and material resources to complete the real estate independently, they do not put all their eggs in one basket; on the one hand, it is due to the interference of oil interest groups, and on the other hand, it is said that their shale gas extraction technology is on the verge of a breakthrough, and they do not have the urgent requirement to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

The disunity of the West and the disintegration of the Red Empire can be described as a natural time, the rich rare earth minerals in the Mongolian steppe can be described as a geographical advantage, coupled with Wang Ganchang and Lu Qiujian two generations of theoretical masters and their surrounding talented staff, as well as the support of the high-level Chinese government and the cooperation of relevant units across the country, it can be described as human. The Xihe plan is now in the right place and with the right people, and its future will definitely be very bright!

Although he knew that the reactor of the Xihe plan was ahead of the ITER, Ma Yang still followed the other members of the delegation to carefully observe every detail of the ITER device and other supporting systems, but he wrote down all the points that he felt were useful to the Xihe plan.

Ma Yang was very clear about the progress of the Xihe plan and the achievements he had made, but Academician Nie and the others were different, and the more they looked at it, the more worried they became, and if the Iter could complete it on time, then the West would be far ahead of the country in this field; he could not be happy in any way when the older generation was wary of the Western world, and the members of the other delegations also showed envy and jealousy from time to time.

Because of the slight flaws exposed before, Ma Yang was more anxious than others during the visit in the next few days, which not only dispelled Bigo's doubts, but also left a good impression in the hearts of Academician Nie and others. (To be continued...... ）
