In the morning, close to 10 o'clock, as the ITER meeting was about to begin, a little snowflake fell outside the ITER headquarters building.

Soon, the scattered snowflakes turned into goose feathers.

For France, especially in the south, due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate, although the winters are cold, snow is not very common, and sometimes there is no snow at all year round.

The scene of heavy snow like this has not been seen for several years.

The snow was falling, as if it was a sign of something.

Coming to ITER's headquarters again, Chen Mingji looked out of the glass window in silence.

Today, the results are about to be available.

There is no hope for ITER, and it is estimated that he will leave after today.

Since 03, a full seventeen years have passed now, and more than ten years of hard work are gone, and Chen Mingji doesn't know what kind of mood and feelings he has.

But Xu Mozhi, who was sitting next to him, didn't think about it so much, he looked at his watch, at nine fifty o'clock, and there were ten minutes left, the meeting began.

Compared to them, the directors of the other member states have already arrived.

If it had been in the past, they would have been the first to arrive. As for now, they don't care at all.

Looking at the ITER director of the United States who was looking at him, Xu Mozhi glanced at each other indifferently, and then moved his eyes away lightly.

Five minutes passed quickly.

At ten o'clock sharp, the meeting was chaired by Professor Bernard Vigo, Director General of ITER's Board of Governors.

The ITER demonstration reactor construction schedule and related reports were first carried out, but this was only the opening story of the meeting, and it was quickly completed.

This was followed by a discussion on the ITER Agreement Technology Sharing Agreement.

When the Director General, Professor Bernard Vigo, announced the start of the agenda, the representatives of the United States could not wait to stand up.

"With regard to the ITER Agreement on Technology Sharing, we reiterate our investigation into the principles of shared technology for controlled nuclear fusion."

"This is an investigation report, since the Chinese side joined ITER in 03, a total of 73 technologies related to controlled nuclear fusion have been received from ITER."

"However, while the Chinese side uses the ITER contract technology sharing agreement to receive the technology, it has not fulfilled its obligations."

"If the Chinese side continues to refuse to fulfill its obligations in this investigation and trial, we will join the Sakura Kingdom and Korea to jointly vote on the application to the Council to discuss whether the Chinese side is qualified as an ITER member."

As the words fell, there was an uproar in the conference room.

Although those who are sitting here today have received the news in advance, they know that Mi Guo may be impatient and do not want to delay any longer.

But the operation of showing the hole cards directly from the beginning still makes most people feel a little surprised.

According to common sense, shouldn't we communicate for a while and then go through the process?

It seems that this time the United States is really in a hurry.

Do you want to kick the other party out and then concentrate on the ITER demonstration pile?

After all, if you want to catch up with or even surpass China in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, it is the fastest to directly build a demonstration reactor.

Professor Xu showed them a way, and with the combination of plasma turbulence CNC model + high-performance superconducting materials, it seems feasible to re-walk the tokamak device to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

If we really want to gather the capabilities of other ITER member countries, I believe that the progress should be much faster than that of China.

Just, can it really be done?

In the conference room, the representatives of the German Council looked at the expressionless representatives of the Chinese country, and they were faintly uneasy in their hearts.

If China is removed from ITER, they will fall behind ITER in the research of controlled fusion, and I believe that other member states will be happy to see this situation.

But from the current point of view, the two core superconducting materials and numerical control models of controlled nuclear fusion technology are in the hands of Professor Xu.

After Huaguo was removed from ITER, they basically had no chance of obtaining these two technologies.

At least when it comes to controlled nuclear fusion, no country would be so stupid as to give up a big lead over itself.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Now Huaguodu has achieved two hours of high-density plasma operation, and has even begun to try deuterium-tritium raw material fusion ignition.

The ITER experimental reactor has not yet been established, and most of the countries' own controllable nuclear fusion projects are also experimenting in seconds.

From this point of view alone, Huaguo is a big step ahead of the world.

How easy is it to slow down their research progress by removing them from ITER?

What's more, the person in charge of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project is Professor Xu.

Ever since he began to make his mark in the world of mathematics, he has been creating legends.

Perhaps, it is really not a good choice to remove Huaguo from ITER.

It's just this kind of thing, and the opinion of a little person like him is useless.

Listening to the sound of discussion in his ears and looking at the changing expressions on the faces of the representatives of the member states, Xu Moying met the somewhat aggressive gaze of the representatives of the United States.

From the other party's eyes, he saw three points of pride, three points of conceit, and three points of confidence in controlling the overall situation.

Glancing at the other party indifferently, Xu Mozhi stood up, looked around, and said slowly: "There is an old saying in my country, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add. ”

"We gave a full and detailed explanation of your allegations at our first meeting two months ago. In order to comply with the rules of the ITER Agreement Technology Sharing Agreement, we have made the relevant progress and necessary data public. ”

"However, in the absence of evidence and violation of principles, you still arbitrarily and unreasonably accused us of not complying with the ITER Agreement Technology Sharing Agreement, and for the next two months, you did not give up, trying to put pressure on us through ITER to hand over the technology that has nothing to do with the ITER Agreement Technology Sharing Agreement."

"Judging from your performance over the past two months, ITER does not have a basis for fair cooperation, and it can even be used as an excuse for you to unjustifiably suppress other Member States. China, on the other hand, has always maintained a wary view of such an unreasonable international organization that does not possess the nature of fair cooperation. ”

"Therefore!"

Xu Moying took a deep breath, stared at the director of the United States with cold eyes, and continued calmly and forcefully:

"Here, on behalf of the foreign jiao, I announce that from now on, we will officially withdraw from the ITER organization!"

As the words fell, the silence in the entire conference room was as silent as the Dead Sea, and the pins and needles could be heard.

Xu Mozhi didn't pay attention to these stunned deputies and directors, he smiled lightly and said, "That's it, everyone, goodbye!" ”

With that, he sorted out the contracts and documents on the table and turned to leave.

On the side, Chen Mingji looked at the representatives of various countries whose faces were full of astonishment, surprise and other expressions, sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and left with the others.

On the other side, at the head of the desk, Professor Bernard Vigo, Director General of the ITER Board of Directors, looked at the Chinese delegates who had stood up and left the venue with a look of shock and confusion.

They, on their own initiative, left ITER?

Why?

This is just the first confrontation, although the United States side wants to clear them out, but the voting has not yet begun, and the final result has not been determined.

At least Europe will not necessarily be on the side of those Mi Guokees in this vote.

Rather than purging Hua Guo from the ITER organization, Europe hopes to use the ITER relationship to trade the two technologies of numerical control models and superconducting materials from the hands of Hua Guo and Professor Xu.

But now, hope is dashed.

On the other side, across the desk, the director representative of the United States looked at the back of the representative of Huaguo leaving in a dashing manner, and his face was also stunned.

For some reason, when he saw the dashing back and the empty door, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Seemingly, they made a bad decision?

With the departure of Xu Mozhi, Chen Mingji and others, the dead conference room gradually became noisy.

Looking at the messy conference room, the Director General, Professor Bernard Vigo, sighed again.

China's voluntary withdrawal from ITER is not good news for ITER, an international organization.

Even, ITER will fall apart because of this.

But for him, the work still has to be done.

I only hope that the Mi Guoyan can fulfill their promise this time, and take the initiative to take on the problems left by Huaguo such as funding vacancies and scientific research personnel vacancies after Huaguo withdraws from ITER.

Otherwise, he could see the collapse of ITER just tomorrow.

After a few moments of chaos in the room, the Director General, Professor Bernard Vigo, reorganized his language and said, "Let's move on to the next agenda"

In any case, today's meeting has to be over.

Moreover, taking advantage of the opportunity of Huaguo to leave now, ITER has to ask for funds and resources from the promised United States, and the time cannot be delayed, otherwise God knows if the United States will regret it in the next second.

Stirring up a good international coalition organization, it's not the first time that those Mi Guokees have done this.

With the end of this once-in-a-decade snowfall, news about ITER's last meeting has spread all over the world.

With the reports of the news media and the text messages of domestic news broadcasts, this news quickly set off a lot of waves on the domestic Internet, and even rushed to the hot search for a time.

Although the ranking is not high, it has also caused a lot of discussion among the people who eat melons.

[Domineering, it's the first time I've seen us talk so hard! ] 】

[Is there any use in being domineering?] Haven't you been forced to quit ITER? Domineering can't solve the problem, and without ITER, I really don't know how far our controlled nuclear fusion can go. In short, I'm pessimistic. 】

【？？？？ Upstairs this is really a shepherd dog, your impression of the development of controlled nuclear fusion in China is still stuck in the last century, right? The dawn led by Kawajin has achieved more than two hours of operation, and the ITER heap has not yet been built, and whoever leaves has no way to live! 】

[ITER is still very strong, don't look at the dawn to achieve a two-hour result, but the Spiral Stone 7X has also achieved an hour's operation, and other countries will soon catch up.] But now, we are kicked, and it is estimated that we will soon fall behind other countries, ε=(ο'*)))) alas. 】

[I heard that the United States is targeting us so much because Professor Xu did not abide by the rules of the ITER technology sharing agreement. According to the agreement, Professor Xu should disclose the progress and relevant details to ITER, but Professor Xu did not, which led to us being kicked away. 】

[So Professor Xu's pot? ] 】

[Well, because that superconducting material was developed by him, he didn't want to hand it over. I heard that CERN signed an order with him, and the upgrade of LHC requires billions of superconducting materials, and there are so many profits that I definitely don't want to pay it. 】

【Hiss~】

[What kind of, the first thing to hook up with ITER is the domestic EAST, and the dawn led by Kawajin has nothing to do with ITER, and there is no obligation or responsibility to make it public with ITER! ] Secondly, there are so many countries participating in ITER, which country has disclosed all its technology to ITER? Can you step on a horse with a brain? 】

[Leaving aside the problems of other countries, do you dare to guarantee that Daybreak will not be linked to ITER at all?] Do you dare to say that a little bit of ITER's technology is useless? If you dare, why not just let the United States investigate? Why leave the group? 】

【. 】

At the same time, the news of Huaguo's voluntary withdrawal from the ITER organization has also spread throughout the field of nuclear fusion, causing discussions among many scholars in the field of nuclear energy around the world.

Compared with the views of those netizens who don't know much about melons, the vast majority of scholars in the field of nuclear energy have a deeper understanding of this matter.

It seems that China took the initiative to withdraw from ITER, but in fact, it is still the United States that is blindly stirring up in the middle.

In contrast to some netizens' concerns about China's development in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, the majority of scholars have a pessimistic attitude towards ITER.

Many scholars in the field of nuclear fusion believe that ITER may stop its progress with the withdrawal of China, and it is not impossible that it will even be disbanded in the near future.

Not only because Huaguo is currently at the forefront of the world in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, but also because Huaguo has always played a very important supporting role in ITER.

Compared with the United States, Huaguo has undertaken its part of the scientific research funds in a timely manner every year, not to mention that it has spared no effort to support ITER in terms of scientific research personnel and scientific research technology.

It is undeniable that in this regard, China has the intention of using ITER to cultivate its own talents, but the countries participating in ITER are doing so.

Moreover, compared with scholars from other member countries, Chinese scholars are more diligent and serious in research, and they are more diligent in their work, and they are more able to promote the development of ITER.

Therefore, for ITER, Huaguo is undoubtedly an important pillar.

Now that this pillar is gone, no one knows how long the ITER, a big patchwork ship, can sail.
