Reception room at the Space Shuttle Assembly Center.

A gray-haired old man sat upright on the sofa, although he was over eighty years old, his bearing between his eyebrows still revealed a faint edge.

In addition to this old gentleman, there were two other slightly younger researchers sitting next to him, although their aura was slightly inferior to that old man, but they were also very different from the researchers of ordinary research institutes.

Therefore, even if no one introduced him, Lu Zhou, who had just walked into this guest room, recognized this old gentleman as Zhang Jianrong at a glance.

Almost at the same time, he probably remembered where he had heard of the old gentleman.

I still remember that it was an after-dinner chat, when Academician Wang Zengguang of the Nuclear Industry Group talked about the nuclear power cooperation research and development project between the Nuclear Industry Group and the Naval Equipment Research Institute, he talked about the deeds of this great man in passing.

At that time, when the domestic environment was the most turbulent, Mr. Lao and 29 other experts from all walks of life were ordered to complete the first generation of nuclear-powered submarines on the shore of the vast Yangzonghai Lake deep inland. What's even more legendary is that the only information they had at that time was two blurry photos of a nuclear submarine and a children's model airplane toy brought back from the United States......

Even now, the story is still talked about.

Looking at Academician Zhang who got up from the sofa, Lu Zhou smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Academician Zhang, I've admired my name for a long time!"

"Hello, hello," smiled and shook Lu Zhou's right hand, greeted Academician Zhang Jianrong who came forward, and said in a kind tone, "I don't dare to be a great name for a long time, but I have long admired Professor Lu's name." The ignition of Haizhou Tianwan ignited the hope and enthusiasm in the hearts of many Chinese children. Even if I wasn't at the scene at the time, but even through a layer of screens, I was also excited when I watched it! ”

In addition to his status as an academician, the old gentleman also has the rank of rear admiral, but he does not have too much arrogance, but treats people modestly, which is easy to make people feel good.

"You have won the prize," Lu Zhou smiled modestly and continued, "I wonder if there is something wrong with you coming from Shangjing this time?" ”

"Exactly," Academician Zhang Jianrong nodded, and continued, "I read the information on controlled fusion miniaturization technology for a long time after I got it yesterday, and I also discussed it with my two assistants for a long time, but I still don't have much clue about the whole design idea...... No one has ever mentioned to us before that ultrasound can be used to ignite electricity. ”

The miniaturization of controlled fusion technology has been one of the key projects of the Naval Equipment Research Institute's Ship Power Laboratory, and until then he has been working with the Nuclear Industry Group on how to make the Pangea pile smaller and put it on ships.

However, the progress of this project is not optimistic, at least so far there has been no breakthrough.

As a result, there is no progress in the miniaturization of Pangudui now, but Lu Zhou's side has found another way to make sound fusion.

After a pause, the old gentleman continued in a solemn tone.

"Before and after learning, the master is the teacher, and I hope that Professor Lu will not be stingy to teach."

The old academician was so polite that Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed.

"I don't dare to take the word teacher, but if there is anything I can help with, please feel free to bring it up."

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, the old gentleman was no longer polite, took out a hardcover notebook from his pocket and handed it to Lu Zhou.

"These are some of the questions I found when I was researching those materials, and I hope Professor Lu can answer them for me."

Taking the notebook from the old gentleman's hand, Lu Zhou opened it and looked at it carefully.

Minutes and seconds passed.

After about ten minutes, Lu Zhou, who turned the notebook to the last page, suddenly closed the hardcover notebook in his hand.

"That's it," looking at the old gentleman and smiling, Lu Zhou returned the notebook to him, "It's better to see than to hear, no matter how much I talk here, it's just on paper." Before I answer your question, I might as well show you what that thing looks like. ”

Hearing Lu Zhou's proposal, the three people sitting in the reception room were all stunned.

The two researchers, in particular, had a deep look of surprise in their eyes.

Taking in their expressions, Lu Zhou's face showed an expression that was indeed like this.

As he expected, the people at the Naval Armament Research Institute did not trust the technology, or that he had actually completed the miniaturization of controlled fusion.

Although Academician Zhang may not have thought so, and came here with the idea of asking for advice with an open mind, Lu Zhou, who had stepped into this reception room before, saw obvious distrust or suspicion in the eyes of the two researchers next to the old gentleman.

Of course, this distrust is not directed at him personally, but only at the theories he proposes.

Even though he is a Nobel Prize winner and a recipient of the Order of Lingyun, the concept of acoustic fusion is too avant-garde.

In particular, the reputation of cold fusion is not very good, and in the 80s, many countries suffered a "loss of culture" because of this thing, and China is the same. As a result, when it comes to cold fusion, everyone instinctively thinks that it is a lie.

In fact, it is true that almost the vast majority of research institutions or individuals who hype up this concept are cheating on funding with something that can barely be called a sign. However, to assert that it is impossible to implement this thing because of this would be to commit the mistake of "presupposition".

There's nothing wrong with getting along with people, but it's impossible to take a preconceived position in scientific research.

After all, standing on the height of time, all the fantasies that seemed unrealistic two hundred years ago have basically been realized now, and even more exaggerated than imagined......

In a sense, acoustic fusion is not considered to be the category of cold fusion, after all, the peak temperature of the bubble in the cavity has exceeded the temperature of the core of the sun, and it does not match the word cold. It's just that compared to the entire reactor, the core unit running at 1000-1300 degrees Celsius as a whole is already cool compared to the hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature of the Pangea reactor.

Therefore, after seeing the experimental data about this fusion device, few people in the ship power laboratory of the entire Naval Equipment Research Institute believe that this thing is real.

"The fusion device...... Right here? Academician Zhang Jianrong looked at Lu Zhou in surprise and said.

Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone and looked at it, smiling slightly.

"Of course the prototype of the experimental reactor isn't here, but we have something more powerful here."

The researcher sitting next to Academician Zhang Jianrong frowned slightly.

"Something better?"

Lu Zhou nodded.

"Well, come with me and you'll know."
