With the announcement that the Chuanhai Institute of Materials will no longer provide high-temperature superconducting materials to ITER and relevant member states, the field of controlled nuclear fusion has once again set off a heated discussion.

Many scholars and researchers have said that Professor Xu is really strong.

The front foot CERN canceled the order for high-temperature superconducting materials because of the ITER matter, and the back foot Professor Xu in turn directly canceled the supply of materials to ITER and ITER's member states.

There is a big "you don't either, then I won't provide it." ”

With his own strength, he reversed the ban on several large countries, and this is probably the first person to come first.

The United States may not care much about this news, but for Europe, which wants to achieve independence in energy, this news is that the city gate fire will affect the pond fish.

After all, the importance of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials in controlled nuclear fusion technology has been verified by Spiral 7X.

Even without a perfect plasma turbulence control scheme, the superior superconductivity properties of this superconducting material alone can provide a powerful confined magnetic field to suppress the rampaging plasma in the reactor chamber.

For now, this is the most suitable superconducting material for controlled nuclear fusion.

Without it, even if it can be replaced by other high-temperature superconducting materials, it may be difficult to catch up with Huaguo.

On the other side, Jinling.

In the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base, Xu Chuan came to the institute with his research results on the problems of magnetic surface tearing, distortion and plasma magnetic islands in the deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation experiment.

Nearly a month or so has passed since the second experimental run of the Daybreak fusion device was completed.

20 years, and it is the end of the year.

The good news, however, is that thanks to the overtime efforts of engineers and researchers, the Daybreak Fusion Unit, which suffered minor damage from the second deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation, has been repaired.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Xu Chuan plans to do several more high-density plasma operation experiments and a deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation experiment, and after collecting more data, he will come to the New Year vacation.

As for himself, he probably won't go back for the New Year this year.

Taking advantage of this time, it is most important to improve the work related to magnetic surface tearing.

After all, there are problems such as neutron irradiation waiting for him.

And after they withdrew from ITER, a targeted race in the field of controlled nuclear fusion began.

This time, it is they who will independently PK with the entire Western country, and it will be up to them to see who can develop controlled nuclear fusion first.

This is an important competition that has a bearing on the fortunes of the country and the new pattern of the world.

All he can do is seize the time and move forward.

At the same time, Luyang, Science Island.

The EAST controlled nuclear fusion engineering base, which is usually relatively cold and quiet, will be a lot more lively.

On the gazebo on the island in the center of the Science Lake, two researchers who had returned from ITER were gossiping boredly.

"Lao Zhou, do you have a new work arrangement over there?"

In the gazebo, a researcher with black-rimmed glasses and a black down jacket glanced at his colleague sitting next to him and asked.

On the other side, the researcher named Lao Zhou, who looked a little wooden, shook his head and said, "I haven't received the notice yet, what about you?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Pingle sighed and shook his head.

Last month, Huaguo voluntarily withdrew from ITER, which means that not only did they withdraw their investment in ITER, but also their researchers who used to work at ITER.

EAST Project, HL-2A Project, HT-7 Project, in short, the researchers and engineers who were originally arranged by major research institutes in China to study and work at ITER have returned to their original units.

But herein lies the problem.

In China, a country with a large population and a large number of talents, once a person is transferred, in order to fill the vacant seats, new people will inevitably be transferred.

And if the personnel who were originally transferred out return to the old unit, there will be a rather embarrassing situation.

That is, there is only one position, but there are two people.

After Huaguo withdrew from ITER, many researchers and engineers were repatriated from major research institutes in China, and many people needed to be reassigned.

So much so that their group of people are currently idle in the research institute or at home, and they have been idle for more than a month.

Although the salary is still being paid by the institute, it is not a good thing for a researcher.

On the one hand, if you are idle for a long time, your head will be wasted; On the other hand, if the institute does not need so many people, they may be dismissed if they do not do well.

If you are a researcher or engineer in another field, it may be slightly easier to find a job.

But for scholars like them who engage in controlled nuclear fusion, it is really too difficult to find a suitable job in China.

After all, that's all this thing is doing.

With so many people coming back from ITER at once, these well-known research institutes are not to mention recruiting, and they are all thankful that they are not dismissed.

As for private research institutes, there are still several privately invested controlled nuclear fusion laboratories in the United States, but in China, there is a private research institute in the field of controlled nuclear fusion.

These domestic capitalists are too lazy to invest their money in this bottomless black hole.

Wouldn't it be more profitable to have the time and energy to buy vegetables in a group and scavenge the people for oil and water?

Just when Wu Pingle was silently staring at the lake in a daze, thinking about what to arrange next, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

I took out my mobile phone and took a look, and the call was an unfamiliar number starting with 010, and after hesitating for a while, he still connected the phone.

Before he could speak, a calm voice came over the other end of the phone.

"Is this researcher Wu Pingle from the EAST Research Institute?"

Wu Pingle nodded, and asked suspiciously, "I am, may I ask who you are?" ”

"That's right, through the introduction and recommendation of your supervisor, Professor Weng Yongchang, and the investigation, we have a job position suitable for you, would you like to leave the EAST Institute and join a new job?"

Hearing this, Wu Pingle looked confused: "New job? What post? ”

"We're sorry, but we can't disclose information about the position until you accept this offer."

Hearing this, Wu Pingle couldn't help frowning and asked, "My mentor will also go over?" ”

"This question is beyond the scope of the answer."

The corners of Wu Pingle's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath and said, "Even if it is recommended by my mentor, I should be able to understand some information related to the position, right?" ”

"For example, where to work, which unit, what to study, what is the salary, etc. It's hard for me to choose a position like you that I don't know anything about. ”

On the other side, the man on the other end of the phone replied: "The only thing I can disclose here is that the work address is in Sujiang Province, and the rest of the information is currently confidential. Would you like to leave the EAST Institute and join a new job? ”

After a pause, the other side added: "You have an hour to think about it, and I'll call again in an hour." ”

After speaking, the phone was hung up, leaving Wu Pingle, who was confused, looking at the phone blankly.

What the hell is the situation?

"What's wrong?" In the pavilion, colleague Zhou Xu turned his head and asked.

Wu Pingle came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it has something to do with my mentor's side." ”

He didn't say anything about work, although the phone call just now was short, but he was vaguely aware of something.

Work in Sioux Province?

Could it have something to do with that person?

After all, his and his mentor's professions are related to controlled nuclear fusion, and Su Province seems to be the only one engaged in controlled nuclear fusion, right?

Just thinking about it, the mobile phone of his colleague Zhou Xu also vibrate.

After waiting for a few minutes, the two looked at each other after ending the call, and after a few seconds of silence, the two said in unison:

"Go?"

After a pause, the two said in unison:

"Go!"

Although they didn't hear the content of the other party's phone call, the two of them understood something in their hearts at this moment.

This kind of opportunity is only once in a lifetime, and if you miss it, you will never have it again.

Instead of staying in the declining EAST, it's better to fight again!

After all, those of them who are engaged in scientific research still have dreams in their hearts.

If they hadn't dreamed, they wouldn't have stepped into this realm with little end in sight.

An hour is not a long time, and when the other party called again, the two quickly gave accurate answers.

At the same time, after receiving an answer, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Okay, I have confirmed my acceptance of the invitation." I will arrange your high-speed rail ticket for tomorrow's trip, please be prepared. The relevant text message will be sent to your mobile phone, so please pay attention to the itinerary and don't miss the ride. ”

With that, the phone hung up.

Looking at the phone with a black screen, Wu Pingle glanced at his colleagues on the other side of the pavilion.

Sure enough, without waiting for a while, colleague Zhou Xu also received a call.

After hanging up, the two looked at each other again, and a strange expression appeared on their faces.

I called them today, and it seems that the background is not simple.

Luckily, they passed the audit and got the opportunity.

PS: In the past two days, I have accompanied my dad to do an examination in Xiangya Hospital, and I am really sorry for the update, there should be a double shift tomorrow and the weekend, but I still need to accompany me to the hospital for a follow-up visit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next Monday (rural people, my dad doesn't know much Mandarin, so I can only accompany me to deal with it), and when this matter is dealt with, I will definitely give you a more explosion, sorry, readers.

I'll build a group after I finish it.,Welcome everyone to come to the group to urge the change (when the time comes, I can send Xiangya's checklist to the group to certify the big guys.,It's true that there's something that can't be updated.,It's not an eight-tailed drag or something.。 ）
