From EGA to STAR, is 4 billion spent worth it? 》

Under the headline of this article, which is full of public opinion, the main part of the text is about three paragraphs long, and it briefly describes the past and present life of the STAR stellar from an objective standpoint.

However, this so-called objectivity only lasted less than 500 words.

Even the content of these 500 words is just a foreshadowing for this preconceived position.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows with interest, and couldn't help but be a little curious about what this Academician Zhou planned to do, so he continued to look down the body of the article.

Soon, he could see the doorway inside.

To put it simply, the gist of this scientific review article is nothing more than two things.

First of all, he poured cold water and pointed out that the plasma confinement time of 1 second from the perspective of popular science does not have any novelty in the field of controlled nuclear fusion at all.

Then there is the clever use of Spring and Autumn brushwork, highlighting the work done so far by the STAR stellar simulator project, but it cost 4 billion RMB to buy a "second-hand goods" from others.

As for the central idea of the whole text, in addition to criticizing the technical route of the stellarator, he also quietly deducted several high hats for "great achievements", "wasting national resources", and "affecting the country's development of controllable nuclear fusion".

As for why Academician Zhou did this, Lu Zhou can also guess.

It is nothing more than an attempt to knock him on before his "wings are not yet full".

After all, the country's investment in the field of controlled nuclear fusion is limited, and the more it is allocated to Lu Zhou, the less it is allocated to him.

As for whether this is useful or not?

There is still a little bit of use.

Critical articles with the signature of big bulls can influence high-level decision-making to a certain extent.

What's more, this article is not an ordinary editorial.

It was written by Zhou Chengfu, the head of the ITER Huaguo project team and the head of the Huaguo International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Implementation Center.

If you are a scholar who is not well-known, you may be photographed to death just by the weight of this review article.

As for Lu Zhou......

The impact may be there, but it is relatively limited.

This is where the aura of the Nobel Prize is embodied.

But then again, it's not worth it for ordinary people to write this kind of thing with Zhou Chengfu pulling down his face.

"Nicely written." Lu Zhou smiled and saw that the newspaper in his hand had turned a page.

Seeing that Lu Zhou was not angry, but said lightly, "It's good", Sheng Xianfu couldn't help but say, "Aren't you angry?" ”

The technical backbone of the STAR project team are all young and middle-aged scholars, whether it is Professor Li Changxia or Professor Sheng Xianfu, they are only in their thirties, and it is normal for them to lose their breath.

After all, if you can calm down and understand the truth of self-preservation, you won't go to his side.

Expecting him to ask this, Lu Zhou smiled and said nonchalantly: "Do you see that Old Academician Pan is angry?" ”

"I don't know...... But are we just going to forget it? Sheng Xianfu said indignantly.

"Or else? Writing a scientific review article critiquing the tokamak? And then offend most of the experts in the field of controlled nuclear fusion? Throwing the newspaper aside, Lu Zhou said casually, "Then what else do I do research, go to the newspaper office to report it." ”

In fact, it is not impossible to do it.

If unsolved problems are black spots, then any technical route can find black spots.

For example, the tokamak is the coupling of the external magnetic field with the magnetic field generated by the plasma current, which is equivalent to running tens of millions of amperes of current on a mass of unstable and turbulent conductors all the time.

Serious problems such as distorted molds, magnetic plane tearing, and magnetic islands can lead to the collapse of the entire system. The consequences are far more dangerous than those of the stellarator, which may seriously lead to equipment damage.

So every experiment with the tokamak device is quite cautious, not without reason.

In fact, Lu Zhou sometimes wonders, will there be a strange way of thinking to jump out and spray him, why is the mathematics so good, even the existence and smoothness of the NS equation solution, and even the problem of plasma turbulence can be solved, so it can't help everyone solve a series of problems such as distortion mold, magnetic plane tearing, and magnetic island.

But I think that even Mr. Zhou would not attack his opponent with such a ridiculous argument.

Looking at Sheng Xianfu, whose expression was still a little resentful, Lu Zhou said slowly.

"Facts speak louder than words, and our results are the biggest riposte."

"Your first task now is to prepare for the August experiment."

"Next time, we're going to challenge for thirty minutes."

Hearing that thirty minutes later, Sheng Xianfu's expression was slightly moved, and his face was embarrassed.

"Thirty minutes...... Wouldn't it be too hard for a STAR device? ”

Even the Spiral Stone 7-X, which has upgraded the water-cooled deflector and improved the control scheme, has only just touched the edge of this number.

Lu Zhou smiled: "Scared? ”

Looking at the confident expression on Lu Zhou's face, Sheng Xianfu was slightly stunned.

After being silent for a while, the corners of his mouth gradually hooked, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

“…… How can it be. ”

……

For the academic community, the problem of learning valves can be said to be long-standing.

Rather than discussing specific academic issues, academic issues or academic controversies are elevated to the level of morality, civil issues. Ethnic and even political heights, and take advantage of the intellectual deficiencies and conservative ideas of the general masses and even non-technocrats to incite their sense of justice, the people. Ethnicity, or worship, to attack one's opponent can be said to be one of the common means of attacking each other.

Even a big bull in the international academic community like Mr. Qiu Lao has suffered a secret loss when facing the mountains of the domestic academic community.

Do not make arguments, only refute them, selectively report facts that are favorable to you, and amplify them.

I have to say that Zhou Chengfu is really old at playing this trick.

Even if Lu Zhou wanted to respond to this article, it would be difficult to refute him.

However, for Lu Zhou, there is no need to do this.

Results are always the best proof.

As for what Zhou Chengfu said, he didn't pay attention to it at all from the beginning.

Of course, even if he doesn't care about it, there are still many people who care about him.

For example, Academician Pan.

Although the old academician has retired, he has always been concerned about things in the industry.

After seeing the article signed by Zhou Chengfu, his first reaction was to call Lu Zhou and persuade Lu Zhou not to be rash. At this time, if you are impulsive, you will fall into Zhou Chengfu's arms.

For this, it is naturally impossible for Lu Zhou not to know, so he asked Academician Pan not to worry about himself.

What to do and what not to do at this time, he knew very well in his heart.

In addition to Academician Pan, it is President Xu of Kim University.

Old Academician Xu's temper is not as polite as Academician Pan.

The STAR project is now one of the key projects of Jinling University, and Lu Zhou is the pride of Jinling University.

When Lu Zhou found him and was about to discuss the control plan of the stellar mimic with the old academician, as soon as he met Principal Xu, he asked about it.

"That Zhou Chengfu, what is the situation?"
