Chapter 388 Investing in nuclear fusion projects

Li Hao asked puzzledly: "Academician Zhu's intention is to let our company participate in your small nuclear fusion reactor project?"

However, this kind of major scientific research project has always been directly controlled by the relevant state departments in our country.

Small nuclear fusion reactors are not as large reactors as large in terms of power generation.

But it's very flexible, and I know it's very well suited to the power of spacecraft, and it's a critical time for the great power space race.

Academician Zhu, if there is a slight possibility of success in this small nuclear fusion reactor you are researching. The state will definitely invest at any cost.

If the state had already established the project, I don't think you would have come to our company, whether it has any major flaws, or is it just a castle in the air, and there is no hope of success at all. ”

Li Hao was unceremonious and directly questioned the project.

Not to mention that his brain has been strengthened now, and he can think about this kind of thing clearly in an instant. Even a normal person, if you think about it a little, you will find that there are many unreasonable things about this project.

The state has always invested heavily in this kind of science and technology that determines future development.

It's just the Wukong satellite used for space exploration, a detector that will not bring major changes to the scientific research community in a short period of time, and the country has invested heavily in research and development.

If only small nuclear fusion reactors could be successful. As one of the least bad superpowers on the planet, the country cannot be in a wait-and-see mode, having already invested in this project.

Academician Zhu Bingwen also did not have time to come here to attract investment.

That's right, Li Hao thinks that Academician Zhu is here to attract investment. From Academician Zhu Bingwen's expression and words, he could feel the state of going to an angel investment company to attract investment in the past.

He said this sentence so seriously, and he also wanted to blow up Academician Zhu Bingwen, if he didn't have dry goods and only relied on the title of academician, Li Hao would definitely not invest in this project.

Most of the academicians are still very respectable, but there is not a single black sheep. That is to look too highly at the inferior root of human beings.

The selection of academicians not only requires their own ability, but also interests. Otherwise, how could there be such a person as a scholar.

There is a person in the Chinese Academy of Sciences who studies tobacco, and he was elected as an academician.

And Tu Youyou, a scientist who saved tens of millions of people in the world, was the first local scientist to win the Nobel Prize, but she was not selected as an academician for her merits.

He is not the only one, there are many scientists who have won the highest national science and technology award. None of them have academician status. Some people have made significant achievements in the field of science and technology, but they are only given the status of an academician of the Academy of Engineering.

Academician Zhu Bingwen saw that Li Hao's attitude was very firm, if he didn't tell the truth, he would run in vain.

He drank three cups of tea in a row and pondered his language.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly: "Chairman Li, I will talk about the kind of nuclear fusion reactor I envisioned. ”

Li Hao immediately grasped the key point and asked directly: "Hello Academician Zhu, is the small nuclear fusion reactor you just mentioned only in your imagination?"

Could it be that this technology has not been experimented, and has not even undergone preliminary theoretical demonstration, and it is still in a rudiment. ”

"Of course, it's a prototype, and this idea is what I came up with last night by synthesizing my previous knowledge.

I know that there is only one idea that will not get the national project, and it just so happens that our unit has something to cooperate with your company.

Your company has always had a good reputation in the scientific research circle, so I tested whether Chairman Li had the idea of investing in this project. Academician Zhu Bingwen said very calmly.

When Li Hao heard this, he wanted to turn around and leave, which was a joke.

In the past, the civil science who came to their company to attract investment had prepared a detailed plan, but this official academician did not have the slightest preparation.

But reason overcame his thoughts, and he came to him to invest without the slightest preparation. There's definitely something special about that.

He said to Academician Zhu Bingwen: "Academician Zhu, can you introduce your thoughts?" ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen smiled when he saw Li Hao's performance. In his experience, as long as you stay and listen, you have a good chance of success.

"This small nuclear fusion reactor is not a guess of mine, but a result of my accumulated knowledge. As long as the difficulties are overcome, it has a high chance of success.

Scientific research is like this, and no one is 100% sure. It depends on whether Chairman Li wants to gamble.

If this project fails, you just lose some money. If successful, the benefits will be immeasurable.

What's more, if this project fails, I will give even more. At my age, there is only one last chance left for research.

How could I not cherish this opportunity and let my scientific research career end perfectly. Academician Zhu Bingwen said frankly.

When Li Hao heard Academician Zhu's statement, his expression changed a little, and he asked: "Academician Zhu, if our group invests in your project, what do we need to pay?"

Tell me about the general principle and success probability of your project. I'm also from a scientific research background, and I can still judge the general things. ”

The reason why Li Hao said this was to let Academician Zhu Bingwen know that he was an expert and urge him to come up with dry goods. Don't say anything false like you would with other investors.

Academician Zhu Bingwen's eyes flashed, and after thinking carefully, he said: "The small nuclear fusion reactor technology I want to study was originally a semi-finished product of my research on improving the tokamak device.

Later, due to various reasons, this research project was aborted. The main reason is that this reactor needs to take place in a relatively small place. The magnetic confinement of the tokamak device does not meet this condition.

Yesterday I saw the material of Yanjin, and I was inspired, and I found that the theory I designed before, if combined with a fusion-resistant superalloy like Yanjin. It did exactly what I had asked for in my previous design.

It can simulate the nuclear reaction process of a star in a nuclear fusion reactor.

Now, as long as I find a similar alloy of flame gold that can withstand the temperature of the fusion reaction, I am 50% sure that I will develop a small nuclear fusion reactor.

I came to your company, and your company is excellent in the field of materials. The most promising research on this material.

If Chairman Li wants to invest, he only needs to pay for the experiment and provide a laboratory that can be used for nuclear experiments. Send enough people to help me complete this project. ”

After Li Hao listened, he found that this project could develop an alloy that could resist the high temperature of nuclear fusion reactions as long as it could be developed. The success rate can reach about 10%.

With a 10% success rate, it was enough for him to make up his mind to support the development of this project.

Li Hao nodded in agreement: "Academician Zhu, I think you have hope of success in this project."

Our group will agree to invest in your project in principle, and the specific treatment and benefits we have obtained will be discussed with you in detail by the relevant departments of the company. ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen stroked his gray beard. He said happily: "Chairman Li, your investment in my project must be your most successful investment in the future." ”
