Chapter 390: The Clash of Fates Begins!
In the office, Xu Chuan was silent for a moment.
To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to the antitrust investigation against him or something.
He now has a need for money, but it's not that high.
And more importantly, he is a scholar, a researcher, not a businessman.
To put it simply, it is just without desire.
He doesn't have anything to ask for a country, so he naturally doesn't need to bird each other.
But when it comes to ITER and other domestic scholars and the development of controlled nuclear fusion, he has to think about it more.
Xu Chuan didn't ask why Mi Guo did this, nor did he ask them what reason they had to do it.
Because he knew that for that country to really do these things, the most ordinary and even illogical excuse would be enough.
Anyway, it's not the first time that the country has been shameless.
The question now is what to do with this.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan looked at Tan Yangxu and asked, "What do you think?" Are there any arrangements or countermeasures? ”
Tan Yangxu cautiously replied: "This matter is very troublesome, after receiving the relevant news, there has already been a meeting to discuss it." But to be honest, we don't have a good solution. ”
"The purpose of my visit this time is also to communicate with you and see how to deal with these things."
Hearing Tan Yangxu ask him for his opinion, Xu Chuan couldn't help frowning.
After thinking for two minutes, Xu Chuan looked up at Tan Yangxu, and seeing this, the director of energy immediately sat up straight, waiting for instructions with a solemn expression.
Not paying much attention to this, he tapped his index finger lightly on the table and said, "Let me tell you what I think." ”
Hearing this, Tan Yangxu quickly took out his notebook and prepared to record it.
Xu Chuan thought for a while, organized his language and continued: "First of all, with my understanding of the United States, if I disclose the two technologies of high-temperature superconducting materials and numerical control models this time, the people of the United States will still have to ask for other things next time." ”
"The key to the progress of the Daybreaker is these two technologies. If it is handed over, it will not only cause us to lose our lead in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, but also cause great impact in other fields. ”
"In my opinion, this is a new competition."
"While ITER has helped us a lot in the past, we've also spent billions of dollars on ITER and related technology, and getting help from it isn't free."
"And today's ITER is actually not so helpful to us. On the one hand, the progress of ITER is far less than that of Daybreak, and on the other hand, in the case of Daybreak making such a big progress, I am afraid that other countries will not provide us with technical help in the future. ”
"After all, you and I both know the importance of controlled nuclear fusion."
"So in the future, instead of being subject to others in ITER, let's just quit ITER!"
"As for the scholars and researchers who were originally doing research at ITER, if they want to, I can accept them all."
"Of course, by doing this, we will lose all our previous investment in ITER, which is really regrettable. But the matter has come to this, and it should be decided. ”
"Retreat, it's impossible for us to retreat, and there's no way back."
In Xu Chuan's view, instead of continuing to stir up on ITER's side, it is better to directly withdraw personnel and funds and focus on their own in China.
What ITER has to offer is actually not so attractive to Dawn today.
As for the future development trend of controlled nuclear fusion and the subsequent research direction, he is still worried about this?
In this area, Xu Chuan dared to say that the entire ITER added up to PK but he alone.
On the other side, Tan Yangxu quickly recorded some key information, and then asked with some concern: "If you quit ITER, it is also a way, but will this have some impact on the development of our controllable nuclear fusion field?" ”
Before coming, it was not that the high-level side had learned some things about this aspect from the experts and academicians of the Academy of Sciences.
Withdrawing from ITER and abandoning previous investments, although it is true that the losses are significant, are not unacceptable to the state.
However, if the withdrawal from ITER will affect the development of controlled nuclear fusion in China, it needs to be considered.
Of course, the most important opinion lies in the mouth of this young national treasure scholar in front of him.
If he thinks it's okay to quit, then his opinion will definitely be referenced above.
After all, it was he who led Huaguo's controllable nuclear fusion field to the peak and created miracles, not others.
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan relaxed a lot, he leaned on the back of the chair and smiled relaxedly: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that it won't have much impact in this regard." ”
"There may be some impact on the EAST side, but for Daybreak, the impact is almost negligible. After all, from the very beginning, Daybreak was a separate project. ”
After a pause, he continued, "And with Daybreak's current progress, there's no help on the ITER side. We have been running for more than two hours, and we have started deuterium-tritium fusion experiments, while other countries, except for the spiral stone 7X, are basically still experimenting in seconds. ”
"You said that they are more backward, can they provide us with great help?"
Hearing Xu Chuan say this, Tan Yangxu also had a smile on his face.
It is true that in a certain field, backward countries may have some unique advantageous technologies, but to really promote this field forward, it must be the country that is at the forefront.
Smiling, he said, "With your words, Academician Xu, I am relieved." I'll go through today's exchange and your feedback in full. ”
Xu Chuan smiled: "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Welcome, this is what I should do." Tan Yangxu got up with a smile, said goodbye and left the office.
In the office, after Xu Chuan saw Tan Yangxu leave, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes and pondered.
In his opinion, this is a new competition, no less intense than the Cold War of the last century.
And under the general trend, the only way to move forward is the real answer.
The changes in the field of controlled nuclear fusion are the beginning of this competition, and perhaps the key to determining the new pattern of the world.
As a key figure at the center of the vortex of this strife, what he can do is to do his best to promote the development of Dawn and let the spark of controlled nuclear fusion be the first to light up on this land of China.
Thinking about it, Xu Chuan opened his eyes, took a long sigh of relief, and walked towards the laboratory.
The conflict of fate began again from this moment!
