When I entered the research center again, although all the professors who attended the meeting were still happy and happy, it could be seen that everyone was still a little nervous.

The news that the United States suddenly announced that it would take the lead in achieving helium-3 fusion in a week last morning immediately spread all over the world through the Internet this morning.

Major social media and platforms in China also put the news on the hot search for the first time.

Judging from the feedback of public opinion, domestic netizens are the first to announce the news of the ignition of helium-3 in the United States...... It's a bit sour indeed.

Because of the strict secrecy in China, there is no news about helium-3 fusion in China - the only information revealed to the outside world is that the Kuafu group continues to make breakthroughs in deuterium-tritium fusion, and at the same time build three new controllable nuclear fusion power stations and increase heavy water reactors to extract tritium.

Of course, there are also sensible netizens who say that even if helium-3 fusion is realized, where does helium-3 come from?

Today's helium-3 is only produced through tritium decay, and the stock is pitifully small.

Of course, there are many on the moon, but that also has to be mined on the moon.

Therefore, the completion of helium-3 fusion can only indicate that the conditions for fusion have been reached...... And it doesn't make any practical sense.

Those who refute it say that if it can be realized, it will make enough sense.

In short...... Public opinion is indeed somewhat unfavorable.

……

Ye Ming didn't say too much to greet, and immediately presided over the meeting after entering the base.

Director Zhang and the others did not come over today, but Professor Wen, who has been in charge of promoting the tritium multiplication project, and others came to attend the meeting.

"Everyone's heard, right?" Ye Ming held the cup and looked at everyone with a smile: "Lao Mei is still as confident as ever. ”

Among the members of the meeting, Professor Zhang, the oldest from the Ninth Academy, said with a smile: "It's not surprising, the old methods of the Cold War are old, and it is estimated that there will be a global live broadcast." ”

The crowd laughed.

Professor Zhang was born in the 60s and lived through the Cold War.

"Well, as it happens, they're out of luck." Professor Huo Liang laughed, the weather was not hot today, but he was stunned and only wore short sleeves, revealing his strong biceps - he was really fit.

As one of so many people who want to go up to preside over the overall situation, Professor Huo Liang will go to the Gobi Desert for adaptation training after participating in this ignition, so he doesn't seem to care, but in fact, he is the most nervous in this group - this ignition acceptance is really going to fail, which means that he may not have a chance to pass.

"Indeed, they are out of luck." Ye Ming took over the topic with a smile: "I received a notice on the way here, and the news of our acceptance and ignition this time will be announced." ”

When his words fell, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed.

There are happy and worried, but more of them are puzzled.

Professor Wen asked, "Is it all announced?" Does that mean that the space program is also going to be officially announced? ”

Everyone immediately looked at Ye Ming.

"No, only the news of the successful ignition will be announced." Ye Ming paused as he spoke, and said with a smile: "I think the idea above may be ...... Just announce it a little bit, so as not to stimulate too much, and Lao Mei can't stand it. ”

Laughter erupted in the room.

But unlike usual, the laughter didn't last long.

After all...... The ignition was about to be accepted, and although they had simulated it countless times, the professors who stayed here to assemble it did not miss a single detail.

However, to engage in this kind of project, we must always be prepared for failure.

Ye Ming also knew everyone's mood and pressure now, so he didn't dwell on this issue for long, but directly entered the topic of the meeting.

As the professors of each link finished their reports, Professor Wen also made a brief summary of his recent work.

"At present, our technical solutions have basically reached the limit, and we estimate that if we move forward, we estimate that the recovery rate will be less than 0.2% - in practice, this can basically be classified as an error."

"But the good news is that we have analyzed more than 100,000 materials and different compounds by Aita, and finally screened 14 blends with recoveries of more than 99%, and the next step is to analyze and synthesize these materials one by one."

As he spoke, Professor Wen laughed: "I didn't expect it to end up on the material." ”

"With Aita, isn't it easy to handle the materials?" Professor Huo answered: "Anyway, the domestic material field is second to none, right?" ”

Professor Wen put it succinctly: "Aita is credit. ”

Everyone looked at Ye Ming with a smile.

Ye Ming smiled reservedly.

- When Aita got on quantum supercomputing, her ability to be used in the fields of computational materials and computational chemistry is really invincible.

As a simple example, if a supercomputer is used to analyze the reaction of a few days and nights, it is nothing more than a cup of tea for Aita - this is when Aita only uses part of the computing power.

This is the productivity brought about by quantum supercomputing, which comes from the improvement of dimensions.

At present, in addition to the domestic universities that have all been launched, many foreign universities have given up the previous twist and began to continue to access Aita - and according to the operating logic of Aita, theoretically, any of them using the results born of Aita will be shared.

"Okay, let's get here today, let's go to the workshop and have a look."

……

After the meeting, Ye Ming and his entourage went directly to the assembly workshop.

Compared to a month ago, the assembly shop is now more disorganized.

In addition to the wires and signal lines all over the floor, there are several robotic arms around the engine. In addition, engineers are also everywhere, constantly busy with the final test work.

"Team Lee." As soon as Ye Ming entered the door, he saw Li Dongsheng and waved with a smile.

Li Dongsheng was directing people to dismantle one of the robotic arms, and immediately turned his head after hearing this: "Mr. Ye, Professor Huo." ”

"Li Dongsheng, what did you do with it? Just stay here. Professor Huo Liang is from the provincial diplomatic department, so he naturally knows that Li Dongsheng is also a student of this school, and joked with a smile: "Are you still afraid that we will be greedy for you?" ”

"Hehe, I'm a little scared."

"You kid...... You Ye Zong are all here. ”

"Mr. Ye doesn't open his mouth - these five robotic arms are millions!"

As soon as Ye Ming heard that there were hundreds of millions, he immediately coughed: "Then hurry up and dismantle it!" ”

The crowd laughed.

Subsequently, a group of people stood next to the engine.

After the assembly, you can realize how big it is - the entire engine is completed, and the ring structure alone is more than six meters high, and the nozzle structure in front is more than ten meters.

It has three vents, one large and two small, and when all the "seals" are unlocked, it can eject high-energy particles at a speed of 500 kilometers per second, and has an extremely high jet velocity.
