With the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project, the construction of the demonstration reactor was officially launched.

The entire field of controlled nuclear fusion and plasma physics were suddenly in chaos.

Almost all countries are looking for experts and professors to assess how far China's controlled nuclear fusion has developed, and scholars in related fields have discussed and expressed their opinions on the Internet.

On Twitter, Musk, a well-known entrepreneur in the United States, quickly responded after receiving the news.

[This is a monument to controlled nuclear fusion, and the emergence of the demonstration reactor will mean that we are one step closer to the ultimate energy source of our dreams, it is the holy grail of the energy field, and it can illuminate our invisible future. 】

[Traditional fossil energy is destined to be abandoned with the development of the times, not only because of the pollution of the environment, we need a healthy ecological earth, but also because of the low efficiency of fossil energy, relatively speaking, electricity is the way out of the future, not only in the future, but also including the present, whether it is life, or transportation, we are inseparable from electricity. 】

[I desperately hope that it will come sooner.] 】

[To this end, I decided to invest 3 billion meters of gold to establish TinySpot fusion energy company, hoping to contribute to the great cause of controlled nuclear fusion. 】

[Of course, I also hope that like-minded friends will participate together, whether it is a researcher in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, an engineer, or other friends who are interested in investing together, I welcome it.] 】

Compared with other business bigwigs, Musk is more keen to surf the Internet and express his opinions and opinions.

I have to say that after this tweet came out, countless netizens on Twitter also discussed it.

[God, is controlled nuclear fusion really coming?!! 】

[Incredibly, Huaguo is about to open the demonstration reactor, and we are still doing plasma operation experiments in seconds, why can Huaguo catch up? Where are our investments spent? 】

[I just said that China's withdrawal from ITER is not good news, look, when the spark of controlled nuclear fusion is lit on that red land, ITER has not even started to build a demonstration reactor. 】

[It's terrible. 】

[Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think, they only managed to run for two hours a few months ago, it is impossible to suddenly solve all the problems now, especially the first wall material, this is probably just a pretense released by Huaguo, after all, we are now competing. 】

[Upstairs, your news has seriously lagged behind, I heard that Professor Xu has solved the first wall material problem. 】

【Impossible!】 The problem of neutron irradiation is not so easy to solve, whether it is metal or non-metal, high-energy neutrons will destroy its crystal structure, you say that it is solved, then what material is used? 】

[I really don't know if your head has grown on the horse's buttocks, this kind of core material, do you think that Academician Xu will reveal it? ] 】

[To be honest, I prefer to believe that he really solved the first wall material problem, if not because of anything else, look at his past brilliant achievements, you will also believe it.] 】

On the other side, Washington, White House.

An old man who had just taken office was roaring with the last strength of his life.

"Shet! Do you eat every day? Why, why is China going to start the construction of a demonstration reactor, but I have not received any news. ”

"Why, why did I only find out about such important things after it was reported through the news media on the other side? Didn't you set up a task force? What about people? What about work? The result? Did it all go to the pigs? ”

For him, nothing could be worse than the news.

Not long after taking office, I heard such bad news.

This is not good news for the promise that before he was elected, he would focus on economic issues and revive the country.

He also promised to be "president of all Mi people," including those who did not support his candidacy.

Now it seems that I am afraid that the outside world has a greater opinion of him.

Opposite, CIA Director William Joseph Burns, Energy Administrator Dan Bruyet, and ITER's Board Representative Coker Brooke are standing together.

William Joseph Burns was okay, and the expressions on his faces did not change much, but the expressions of Dan Bruyet and ITER Council Representative Coker Brooke were a little more complicated.

Huaguo actually started the construction of the demonstration reactor.

This is something they could never have imagined, especially for Coker Brooke.

No one knows better than him what the difference is between an experimental reactor and a demonstration reactor.

If the demonstration reactor is completed, I am afraid that it will not be far from real commercial use.

William Joseph Burns quietly wiped the spit that flew from his face, cleared his throat, and said:

"This has to do with my previous director, Ms. Gina Haspel, and I have combed through all the information from her time in office and found that she did not do much to deal with the other side."

"This also caused us to miss out on a lot of crucial news."

"Of course, I'll improve this immediately."

Like the elderly president in front of him, he has not been in office for long, and of course, before becoming the director, he himself has worked in the Central Intelligence JU, and he is very clear about related matters.

Only now, let's throw the pot out first.

Anyway, Gina Haspel is gone, and it's impossible to confront him here anymore.

On the other side, the elderly president took a deep breath, forcibly stabilized his emotions, and asked, "I want to know, how long will it take for Huaguo to solve the technology of controlled nuclear fusion?" How much time do we have left? ”

Hearing this, William Joseph Burns coughed lightly and said, "This Director Cockle Brooke knows. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Coker Brook: "Please explain to Director Coker, it was your decision to clear Huaguo from ITER in the first place." ”

Hearing his name, Coker Brooke sighed in his heart, and his feelings at the meeting in Kadarashedi seemed to be coming true.

Taking a deep breath, he looked up and said, "I think we have seriously underestimated Huaguo's investment in controlled nuclear fusion, and we have also seriously underestimated the other party's technological reserves. ”

"If the demonstration reactor for controlled nuclear fusion is really built and can successfully achieve ignition operation, I am afraid that they are not far from the commercial use of real controlled nuclear fusion."

"Even if the demonstration reactor is still some way from the real commercial reactor, there are still many problems to be solved. But that's probably not a very difficult thing for Huaguo. ”

"When? How much time do we have? The elderly president asked, staring at him.

After thinking for a moment, Coker Brook cautiously said: "As far as my personal assessment is concerned, if the demonstration reactor is completed, it may take two to three years at most, and they will be able to achieve commercial use. ”

"If you count the time to build the demonstration reactor, we have about five years at most, and if everything goes well, this time may be shortened to three years."

Hearing this, the elderly president couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

Three years, that's too short.

Suddenly, it changed from 50 years forever to three years, and the span of time is really hard to accept.

Why, why was everyone still on the same starting line, and even a country that was a lot behind them, but suddenly counterattacked and overtook them, leaving them far behind?

In the office, there was silence.

William Joseph Burns coughed lightly, broke the dead silence, and said, "Maybe it's not Hua Guo that we underestimate, but Professor Xu. ”

Hearing this, the other three all looked at him.

The new director thought for a moment, and then said: "I have read the survey data, and two years ago, Huaguo's development in the field of controlled nuclear fusion was at the same level as ours, or even lagged behind. ”

"And the change began after Professor Xu took control of the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion project in 19 years."

"In fact, at present, the achievements made by Huaguo in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in the past two years are basically from the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion project led by Professor Xu."

"And I have investigated, that Professor Xu not only has made great contributions in the theoretical field of mathematics, physics and astronomy, but also in materials science, he is also a top scientist."

"The Chuanhai Institute of Materials under his name has developed artificial SEI thin films, solved the problem of lithium dendrites, and also created the kind of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials."

"The latter is the key to solving plasma turbulence, which has been proven on the Spiral 7X."

"It can be said that in the field of materials science, his achievements are worthy of the Nobel Prize, and we seriously underestimate him in this regard."

"It can be said that without that Professor Xu, Huaguo's development in the field of controlled nuclear fusion would not have been possible to get to this point."

"At the age of 18, letting him go was the most wrong thing that Mr. President had ever done."

"This kind of top talent, no matter what, we should stay."

"Even if you can't keep it, you can't put the other party back."

"Like Professor Qian a few decades ago, Professor Xu is also a terrifying scholar. Even, he was even more terrible than the one he was a few decades ago. ”

"Because he is not only a scholar who has made great achievements in theory, but also a scholar who can turn theory into real application and technology."
