The high-level meetings were held for several days, and in the past few days, Lu Zhou was not idle, and under the recommendation of Academician Pan, he met with many domestic scholars engaged in the research of controlled nuclear fusion.

Strictly speaking, there is no controlled nuclear fusion major in domestic universities.

Professors in most fields of plasma physics, or engineers in nuclear engineering.

The situation in China is different from that of Princeton, and the research on stellaric devices can basically be said to be blank. When he was at the PPPL Research Institute, Lu Zhou wanted to pull out a research team, which he could easily do.

However, now, he can only use Academician Pan's contacts in this field to find talents.

Of course, in addition to talent, there is a more critical issue that must be addressed.

Now that the rice is available and the chef has prepared it, the only thing missing is a pot for stir-frying.

Handing over a compiled list to Lu Zhou, Academician Pan said: "You plan to engage in research on stellars, but we don't have enough manpower and funds, so we have to build a stellarum first." This problem is more critical than what you said, how are you going to solve it? ”

There are only eight stellarumers in operation in the world, including the H1-Heliac from Australia from the University of Nanhua. As for the legendary "first quasi-ring symmetrical stellarator" in China, which was jointly built by China and Japan, an agreement was just signed last year, and it will have to wait a few years for the project to land.

China can afford to wait, and the world can afford to wait, after all, controlled nuclear fusion itself is a century-old plan.

However, Lu Zhou couldn't afford to wait.

If the successful ignition of the "DEMO" demonstration reactor cannot be achieved by 2025, the task chain for the "Fusion Light" will be considered a failure. Although according to the principles of the system's consistent Buddhist system, there is no such thing as making him spit out the experience he has already gained, the reward for finally completing the task chain will undoubtedly say goodbye to him.

After accepting the list in Academician Pan's hand, Lu Zhou thought about it and said: "Germany has a stellar simulator that has been shut down, that is, EGA, which is the prototype of the Spiral Stone 7X. We don't have to build one from scratch, we can just get a ready-made one back and then modify it from the original. ”

Academician Pan looked moved and said in disbelief: "Are you going to buy EGA back?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded, "If you want to enter this industry, you can't save tuition fees." ”

Lu Zhou thought that Academician Pan was worrying about the country's money, after all, the stellar mimic cost a lot, even if it was a retired EGA, it was not a small amount to buy it back.

However, in fact, what Academician Pan is worried about is not the problem of money at all.

"It's not a question of whether to pay for school or not, are they willing to sell this thing?"

Lu Zhou shook his head: "It's hard to say, but this matter can be discussed." I had some friendship with the scholars at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and convinced them that it would be okay to sell the old equipment they weren't using. ”

In fact, since 13 years, the EGA has been shut down, and the research focus of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics has been all focused on the new toy of the Spiral Stone 7-X. Convincing them to sell EGA, there is still hope.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"When the matter here is arranged, I will fly to Germany in person and try to discuss this matter."

Hearing this, Pan Changhong had an envious expression.

He really can't envy the fact that he doesn't have much contact with the international academic community.

At the beginning, in order to fill the gap in the research of stellarators in China, Nanhua University organized three study delegations to the Australian National University since 2017, and finally negotiated cooperation, and finally spent 35 million Australian dollars to buy a "small" one.

This is also known as H1-Heliac.

Compared with Japan and Germany, Australia's research on stellars can obviously only be ranked last. The H1-Heliac, designed and assembled by the Australian National University, is far from advanced.

If there was a choice, who would want to choose the H1-Heliac assembled by the Australian National University itself?

If Lu Zhou really has this way, he can buy back the EGA that has been shut down in Germany.

This incident alone can be regarded as a great achievement for China's controllable nuclear fusion cause.

……

Lu Zhou's return to China this time brought two great gifts to Huaguo.

One is the Nobel Prize, and the other is the pie of controlled nuclear fusion.

Although this flatbread is still raw, everyone can only look at it, but they can't eat it, but he is confident that he will be a good chef and cook this flatbread well.

As for Lu Zhou's two gifts, Huaguo can be regarded as reciprocating the favor and responding to the greatest attention.

After half a month of meeting and discussion, the academicians of the two academies discussed and voted, and the project on stellar simulator research was finally officially implemented.

After consulting with Lu Zhou, the project team was named "STAR", which is parallel to the "EAST" tokamak controllable fusion reactor program in terms of level.

As for the funds, the state also gave quite generous, a full billion yuan.

Considering that a lot of equipment, including stellarators, needs to be imported, the unit of this funding is naturally US dollars......

Southwest Institute of Physics.

After learning the news, Jia Liang couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"A billion dollars, that's too much money for money."

Although the level is parallel to the "EAST" project, in terms of funding, it is enough to cover the budget of several "EAST" projects.

Even if you win a Nobel Prize, it's not worth so much money, right?

Sitting in the middle of the office, Zhou Chengfu, who was reading the newspaper, did not look up and said expressionlessly.

"No matter how much money you have, it's something that someone else has earned, and we can't take care of it."

That being said, but to say that there is no impact at all, that is impossible.

The research on controlled nuclear fusion is a money-burning project in itself, but the country's investment in this area is not unlimited.

Although the expression on Academician Zhou's face did not change, Jia Liangcai could still see that the old man was not very happy.

After all, the original domestic research on controllable nuclear fusion was all up to him.

Now a young man suddenly appeared and wanted to erect another hill beside him, and it was impossible to say that there was not a little displeasure in his heart.

But the aura of this Nobel laureate ......

It's a bit too dazzling.

Guessing the old man's thoughts, Jia Liangcai continued, "You said that this Academician Pan, although he is the veteran of our Huaguo ITER cooperation group, but the credit is not his alone, not to mention that he is retired, and now you are the person in charge of our domestic controllable nuclear fusion project." ”

"This Lu Zhou wants to engage in controlled nuclear fusion, and he will not come to Rongcheng to visit you, but will pull the banner of Academician Pan and start a new stove, will it be a little too inattentive to people?"

"Do your job well, are you worried about these things?"

Reprimanded in a low voice, looking at Jia Liangcai, who quickly closed his mouth and did not speak, Academician Zhou continued unhurriedly.

"He him, let's ours. After all, stellarroders are not our specialty, if they can cooperate, they can't cooperate, that is also our limited conditions, can he still blame us? ”

Hearing this, Jia Liangcai immediately smiled understandingly.

"What Dean Zhou said is, I understand!"
