Chapter 117: Lu Yi's Ambition
The question asked whether the Chinese side had committed destructive acts against the Max Planck Labs demonstration reactor in order to ensure the interests of controlled nuclear fusion.
What I want to say is that the Chinese side has unconditional support for all research and scientists who promote the process of human civilization, and in the past time, our Tomorrow Lab has carried out many in-depth research cooperation with Max Planck Laboratory.
This is a great project that requires the cooperation of many parties and the efforts of all countries to overcome and perfect, and no one will go back to interfere with or even sabotage.
In addition, with regard to yesterday's incident in which the Chinese side exploded a hydrogen bomb over the high seas of the Pacific Ocean, I solemnly declare that this was an emergency incident caused by a mechanical failure, and it is not the so-called nuclear deterrence or nuclear war as everyone speculated.
At the same time, we have contacted international environmental protection organizations and urgently dealt with and followed up on the environmental problems caused by the air explosion of the hydrogen bomb......
The next morning, Li Yashan took Professor Lin to go shopping, Zhang Qing was busy with things, and Lu Yi helped solve several problems encountered in the construction of the demonstration reactor.
The steps on the bright side of the countries have been found.
At 23:47 Beijing time last night, at 16:34 local time of the Maplanck demonstration reactor in Western Europe, a major safety accident occurred in the core area of the Maplanck demonstration reactor, and an explosion occurred in the core of the reactor under construction, causing 13 injuries, one of whom was seriously injured.
This bombing can be said to have completely blown up the demonstration reactor program of Max Planck Labs, and the busy media, the guidance of public opinion, various plans are immature, and there are serious safety risks, which means that Max Planck Labs will no longer have room to turn over in this controlled nuclear fusion.
When Lu Yi was told the news in the early morning, he also asked for his opinion on another matter, that is, the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor that is now under construction will be changed to a different word when it is made public, and it will be led by China and completed by all countries in a joint attack.
Of course, the chief engineer is still the chief engineer of Helu.
At that time, Lu Yi was silent for two seconds and agreed.
It's like a show, co-starred by several major countries in the world and a group of junior countries, for the vast number of ignorant people.
In this show, Huaguo got the high-precision industrial mother bed and the formula of various important materials and several other technologies that he wanted the most, making up for the two most serious backwards in the past century.
They have obtained controllable nuclear fusion technology, and they can also confidently explain to the people that controllable nuclear fusion is jointly conquered by us and China, and even when reporting this matter, they will say another thing, it is led by our great free rice country, and it will be conquered together with China and other countries
Because in this way, the people will be happier when they hear it, we are the leader, or we are the most awesome, we are the world's number one power, and the president's approval rating is estimated to rise by a few percentage points.
Everyone is happy, there is no war confrontation, there is no conflict, what military exercises have been done before, what tariffs and trade restrictions, what hydrogen bombs have exploded, these are all conventional military exercises, they are all normal market behaviors, they are all accidental mechanical failures, and the world is a beautiful place.
The only unlucky person who sacrificed was Max Planck Labs, and even the consortium behind Max Planck Labs would not have sacrifice losses, Lu Yi believed that in secret, they would definitely have another good compensation.
But Max Planck is unlucky, otherwise Western countries will not have a step down, and they will not be able to explain to the people why they are about to build a demonstration reactor, and they still have to cooperate with China, instead of doing it themselves.
When Max Planck was unlucky, it was very easy for Western countries to say that they wanted to cooperate with China, but that there was a problem with our demonstration reactor program, and they didn't see that the explosion had already happened.
The people are all blindly following the herd, coaxing, and public opinion can guide it.
As for some people questioning why the core, which is still under construction, without electricity and without an energy source, will explode?
I'm sorry, you can't post such content and remarks, and at the same time, such people are also a minority.
When most people believe the facts reported by the media, and when the people around you have no doubts about this fact, your doubts will soon be forgotten by you.
After reading the Foreign Ministry's speech, Lu Yi thought about it and took out his mobile phone to dial Professor Maprouppert's number.
Although according to the time difference, it should be more than two o'clock in the morning on the German side, Lu Yi believes that this old guy must not have slept yet.
"Congratulations, Professor Lu, you have become one of the greatest scientists in human history."
Sure enough, the phone was answered within a few seconds, and before Lu Yi could speak, Professor Rupert on the other side of the phone spoke first, his voice full of calm but a little lonely.
"Everyone is a scientist, and there is no such thing as greatness or greatness."
Hearing this voice, which was obviously a few years older than the last time he called this old guy, Lu Yi smiled and said: "Professor Rupert, I don't know if you are interested in coming to China, I believe that science has no borders, and a scientist like you, retiring so early is a great loss for mankind." ”
Lu Yi's sudden invitation made Rupert silent, and only after a while did he say: "Professor Lu Yi, science has no borders, but scientists have countries. ”
"But your country has abandoned you like a bargaining chip and an outcast, hasn't it?"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is not the first time, this time is even more serious than the last time I bought a WEGA stellar from you, they blew up your decades of research and decades of hard work with a bomb in front of you, and then reported in the media that this is a major safety hazard in your research......"
“fuck! Lu, what do you want to do? ”
Every time Lu Yi spoke, Rupert's breathing became heavier, until finally he interrupted Lu Yi's words with an irrepressible roar.
"I am not the same as those capital consortia, strictly speaking, I am a rich scientist, and I will be more empathetic to the needs of scientists in terms of funding and other aspects, and I will not throw away any scientific research scholar as an outcast for the sake of profit."
Lu Yi continued to talk about his purpose and persuaded Rupert to come to China.
"Tomorrow Group is already on the verge of bankruptcy, where did you get the funds? The Chinese government? If it's really the government, it might as well stay in Germany. ”
Rupert didn't believe Lu Yi's words, it was the Tomorrow Group that forced the acquisition of 6 important suppliers of the Max Planck demonstration reactor with capital that led to the failure of the Max Planck demonstration reactor, of course, the Tomorrow Group can also be said to be buried together, and Western countries have almost openly excluded the market entry of the Tomorrow Group.
"Tomorrow Group entered into the commercial negotiations of this incident and became one of the main responsible parties." Lu Yi was not easy to explain his hole cards, so he had to use the reason that he had already rejected this business negotiation.
"It can't be! How is it possible for such a negotiation to allow private capital to be one of the main responsible parties, even if you are ......"
Rupert subconsciously retorted, but he couldn't say anything more halfway through.
Only then did he realize that this contribution of Tomorrow Group alone was not qualified, and Lu Yi's identity as the chief engineer was not suitable, but when these two identities were combined, it would be more than enough to participate in this negotiation as one of the main responsible parties of Huaguo.
"Your research on the stellar simulator is estimated to be deeper than mine, what else can I do in the past?"
Rupert was silent for a while, and asked in a somewhat sloppy voice, not denying that he was moved.
As a scientific researcher who studies stellarics, stellars are like a precious baby, and he can feel the importance of funding for research more than any other researcher in the past few decades.
When funding was scarce, Max Planck Labs was so embarrassed that it had to confirm and discuss even the initiation of a trial, and try to solve all the problems at the theoretical data level before starting the experiment, because this would maximize the effect of the study.
The most important thing is that the last sale of the WEGA stellar simulator made him feel a little chilled, making him feel the powerlessness of scientific research by capital, knowing that the sale of the WEGA stellar simulator can greatly improve the technology of competitors, but under a series of capital games, the consortium behind them still forced them to sell, otherwise the investment would be interrupted.
Not to mention that in this incident, a bomb and a public opinion orientation ruined his decades of hard work, and hundreds of other researchers have spent decades of hard work.
Such a situation is desperate. With such a research career, he already feels tired.
Even though he was not yet 50 years old, he still felt tired even though he still had a ring of hair on his head that had not fallen out.
"I will put down the research on controlled nuclear fusion, and I will hand it over to you when you come to my nuclear fusion laboratory, but I will find someone else if you come."
Lu Yi said calmly: "The miniaturization and mobility of nuclear fusion reactors are best loaded on vehicles or ships for stable operation.
There is also DT fusion to further helium-3 fusion, monodeuterium fusion, and even hydrogen fusion, these are all research directions, it is foreseeable that in the next few hundred years, controllable nuclear fusion will be the most important energy core of human beings, so its application is not only limited to power generation, nor can it be limited to power generation. ”
"Can't it be limited to power generation?"
Rupert was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise: "Do you want to study high-thrust ion engines?" Towards the field of space? ”
It can't just be limited to power generation, but what other applications can controlled nuclear fusion have? In addition to being the core of energy, Rupert can only think of the ion engine.
If this is the case, then Lu Yi's mind is obvious, that is, to develop in the space field.
As for the interior of the planet, the car engine on the ground and the jet engine in the sky are advanced enough, and it is redundant to study the ion engine on the planet.
Moreover, compared with conventional rocket engines, ion engines will be more suitable for the space field.
"Ion engines, life-sustaining systems, gravitational waves, and even fantasy curvature engines are all future research directions."
Lu Yi smiled and said with great ambition and pride: "I want to see if I can go to Jupiter's Great Red Spot in my lifetime to flutter in the wind, can I see Saturn's rings up close, can I chase the whereabouts of Halley's Comet, and explore the mystery of Oort Cloud." ”
"You're crazy!" Rupert was shocked by Lu Yi's words full of pride, and only then did he hold back a sentence for a long time.
If it were someone else, he might think that it was just a simple delusion, but this one, I'm afraid that even if it is an idiot, he will find a way to achieve it.
It's the same as last year, when he stupidly invested a lot of money in plasma turbulence, everyone was waiting to see the jokes, and when they bought acceleration components from some accelerator institutions, everyone laughed at the stupidity, but in the end, he really researched it, so that controlled nuclear fusion has the basis for realization.
"Rupert, I'm different from you, you're bald, you're going to be 50 years old, and I'm only 22 years old this year, when I reach your age, maybe all humans will be out of the solar system."
Lu Yi laughed and said, "How is it?" Are you interested in coming to China now? ”
"Can you have a way? You should know that it's okay for people like us to go abroad occasionally for a meeting or take a vacation, but it's difficult to change nationality to conduct research in another country. ”
Rupert was moved, but he wasn't sure if he could go.
"It's simple, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome in a week, but it's not a problem now, as long as you agree to arrange it on my side."
Lu Yi nodded, he knew that this matter was a little sensitive, but it wasn't too troublesome.
After all, in the eyes of Western countries, controlled nuclear fusion has been preempted by China, and the value and importance of Rupert, who has overlapped most of the research, has decreased a lot.
Hanging up Rupert's phone, Lu Yi called the above to talk about this matter, and the result was self-evident.
A strategic-level scientist who is not yet completely bald and is less than 50 years old and can still research and struggle for another 20 years can voluntarily come to China, although the research field overlaps greatly with Lu Yi, but after Lu Yi said that he would change to the research field when he was still young, the above immediately decided to give up some benefits to bring Rupert over.
