Qixia controllable nuclear fusion engineering base.

In the lecture hall on the second floor of the institute, a large conference is about to be held.

In the two gates of the front and back of the lecture hall, people continued to push open the doors and walk in.

Not only the researchers and project leaders of the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project, but also many cooperative units that have received emergency notices temporarily.

For example, the Western Superconducting Group, which is responsible for the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, the power grid structure of the power system, and the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group, which is responsible for the construction of the project, and so on.

All the companies and groups involved in the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion project have received urgent notices and arranged for representatives to come.

Sitting in the middle of the lecture hall, Li Hua, vice president of Kyushu Electric Group, who had been in charge of docking, looked at the crowd in front of him, and then looked at the empty lecture hall in front of him, and he couldn't figure out what Academician Xu wanted to do in today's meeting.

Although Kyushu Electric Group participated in the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project, it only signed a contract and provided the corresponding steel structures and parts according to the requirements of the other party, and its contribution to the project was not very large.

To be honest, today is the first time he has participated in such a large conference.

I don't know what I was doing in a hurry this time.

"Long time no see, Mr. Li." Just as he was thinking, a voice came to his ears, and another figure sat down beside him.

Li Hua turned his head to look, raised his eyebrows and said, "You're here too?" ”

Beside him, Wang Demin, vice president of Shangwei shares, said with a smile: "Academician Xu called, of course he came." I just don't know what's going on this time, do you have any news? ”

Li Hua glanced at the lecture hall, his eyes fell on the lecture platform, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just know that it's in a hurry." ”

Wang Demin smiled and said: "I am afraid that the only ones who know the specific news are the bigwigs sitting in front, and we who provide materials and parts, I am afraid that the internal information will hardly be revealed." ”

Compared with the external cooperative companies that sit in the middle and back, the ones who sit in the front are the insiders of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project.

If there is anything that needs to be discussed or announced in such a solemn meeting today, I am afraid that those present will know about it.

Of course, what Wang Demin didn't guess was that in today's lecture hall, there is not one person who knows specific things.

Even the insiders sitting in front of them were just as confused as they were, whispering to their colleagues asking and discussing.

Li Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wait, it's all here, today's meeting will definitely say." ”

Wang Deming smiled and said, "It's true, it's just curious." This is the first time I have participated in such a large-scale meeting, and I have never signed a contract to provide materials before. ”

After a pause, he continued: "I don't know if I have a chance to meet with Academician Xu this time to say hello." ”

Li Hua said lightly: "You think too much, how many times have you met that person in the past two years?" At that level, if you don't have an appointment, you can run over without an appointment."

Wang Deming smiled and didn't mention it again.

The two were chatting, and on the report stage, a young figure walked out from behind the scenes.

In the lecture hall, the originally noisy head-to-ear discussion disappeared in an instant, and all eyes gathered and fell on the lecture platform.

Walking on the podium, Xu Chuan tried the microphone first, and then looked at the audience looking at him and the crowd.

Clearing his throat, under the watchful eye, he said calmly: "With the unremitting efforts of many scientific researchers in the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute and the Computational Materials Laboratory, the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project has ushered in a new progress. ”

"A week ago, a materials research team led by Professor Zhao Guanggui of the Computational Materials Laboratory successfully found a material that can be applied to the first wall of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor chamber."

"After rigorous testing, the institute confirmed that this new material exhibits excellent performance in resistance to neutron irradiation and meets the various performance requirements of the first wall material."

As soon as this sentence came out, there was a commotion in the audience.

Li Hua, who was sitting at the back of the lecture hall, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock when he looked at the lecture table.

And beside him, Wang Demin, the vice president of Shangwei shares, had the same expression on his face.

After being shocked for a moment, the two glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, but they could see the emotions that the other wanted to express from each other's faces and eyes.

A new material that meets the performance needs of the first wall material!

If this news is released, I am afraid it will shock the whole world.

The two of them never thought that they would be able to hear such a super bombshell news at the meeting today.

On the stage, Xu Chuan's report continued.

Last year, the dawn fusion device has achieved long-term high-density plasma operation, and realized the ignition of deuterium-tritium raw material fusion, based on the progress of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project, I think we have made considerable preparations on the road of controlled nuclear fusion."

"Now, it's time to take it a step further."

In the lecture hall, everyone seemed to realize something.

Today's Daybreak fusion device has achieved the initial ignition of deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion, and if it takes it a step further, it is to convert the temperature generated by the ignition into energy.

And for controlled nuclear fusion, to output energy, only one device can do it!

Thinking of this, everyone's breathing was a lot heavier.

No one spoke, but everyone present guessed what would happen next, and at this moment, everyone unconsciously clenched their fists and held their breath.

If there is no accident, they are about to witness the birth of history in the venue today, and they are extremely lucky.

On the lecture platform, Xu Chuan's heart was also filled with excitement and excitement.

Taking a deep breath, he looked around at a group of lecture halls that were almost full, and said in a calm tone: "Qixia controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project!" ”

"From this day onwards!"

"Start building!"

When the words fell, there was a tidal wave of applause in the lecture hall, and everyone stood up and clapped their hands red.

This is undoubtedly a historic moment for all of you here today!

At the end of the meeting, the representatives of various manufacturers and units did not leave.

The construction of the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor requires the cooperation of hundreds of different units.

Every material, or material of a component, is a big deal.

Xu Chuan didn't care about this, at present, the project related to the demonstration reactor has just begun, and it is enough to hand over the resource integration to Peng Hongxi and Gao Hongming.

In the morning, after the meeting within the project, in the afternoon, a press conference began in a hurry.

The person who presided over the press conference was naturally Xu Chuan.

The construction of the demonstration reactor is a major project for the state, and it must be announced to the public.

It is not only to enhance the confidence of the people, but also means that the social status in the world, whether it is the status of politics or scientific research, will be greatly improved.

Of course, the press conference on the construction of the demonstration reactor was not carried out in a big way, but only notified some well-known domestic media and made some brief reports.

Still, this has caused a huge shock in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, and even in the whole world.

Accompanied by "Renren Daily", "Nuclear Industry Times", "Huaxin News" and other media reports.

The whole network was instantly lively.

In fact, the field of controlled nuclear fusion has not been quiet in the past year.

In other words, since Professor Xu returned to China and began to take control of the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion project, the field of controlled nuclear fusion has become quite lively.

Starting with high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, to the trading of the ASDEX unit of the Germanic Plasma Institute, to the renamed Daybreak fusion unit, which realizes forty-five minutes and two hours of high-density plasma operation. In the end, the representatives of the United States attacked the intellectual property issue at ITER, and China took the initiative to leave ITER

One big event after another, it is dazzling and overwhelming.

The development of the international field of controllable nuclear fusion is also like an electrocardiogram, up and down as if bungee jumping.

The development of the originally controllable field of nuclear fusion, especially the international cooperation project ITER, can be said to be a small boat in the middle of the sea in the wind and rain, and no one knows when a big wave will come and the boat will completely capsize.

Many people have a hunch that the route of tokamak installation may be problematic and not necessarily suitable.

But the dawn led by Professor Xu achieved 45 minutes of high-density plasma operation, like building a lighthouse in the sea, redirecting the direction and giving hope.

This has also inspired ITER and many other scholars who are working on tokamak devices.

But not long after, the attack of the United States on ITER and the withdrawal of Huaguo once again threw ITER, a ship that had already set sail again, into the storm.

And now, a news release by China's "Renren Daily", "Nuclear Industry Times" and other media has caused a shocking wave in the international plasma physics community and the field of controlled nuclear fusion.

In Huaguo, the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project officially launched the construction of a demonstration reactor.

This news shocked the whole world.

Whether it is the United States, the European Union, or many scientific researchers who are struggling on the front line, no one thought that all this would come so quickly and so suddenly.

So much so that after hearing the news, everyone's first reaction was skepticism, followed by complete confusion.

Huaguo?

Going to build a demonstration pile?

How is this possible!

PS: There is another chapter in the evening, asking for a monthly pass
