Hearing this answer, Tillman was a little confused.

To be honest, he thought that the buyer who bought the Spiral Stone-7X could be the United States, the cherry blossom country, or Australia, South Korea and other countries.

But he really didn't think that the buyer who bought the Spiral Stone-7X would be Huaguo.

If other countries have not made progress in the research of tokamak devices, and want to buy a stellar simulator to do hybrid research, it is still possible to choose to buy a stellarumer.

After all, everyone knows that the dawn fusion device developed by Professor Xu is not a simple tokamak device, but a hybrid route of tokamak + stellarator.

But Hua Guo bought, he really didn't expect it.

After all, they have achieved controlled nuclear fusion technology and can be said to be the country with the least possibility or reason to buy Spiral-7X.

Stunned for a moment, Tillman asked curiously, "What did Huaguo buy the Spiral Stone-7X for?" Haven't they all achieved controlled nuclear fusion? ”

Robert shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, Huaguo didn't give a reason, or gave a reason, but I don't know." ”

"And to be honest, this business was not facilitated by the Planck Institute, but was decided after the business bu's side said hello."

Hearing this, Tillman Lent couldn't help frowning and thought about it.

In the middle of the ring, he raised his head and stared at Robert and said: "I don't think this is a wise deal, the Spiral Stone-7X definitely has the technology that Huaguo needs, otherwise they would not have come all the way here to buy the Spiral Stone-7X from us, and even took a business bu to communicate." ”

Robert: "I think the people on the business side must know about it, but the price they offer may not be able to be refused." ”

Hearing this, Tillman asked curiously, "I don't care about it over there, but what about the research institute?" What did we get out of this deal? ”

Robert: "A billion euros in purchase money, a promise to build a controlled fusion power station for us, and the export of a batch of first-wall materials to us, which would otherwise be prohibited from exporting. ”

Tillman thought for a moment and said, "If you compare the value of the Spiral Stone-7X, these conditions are already quite generous. But I always feel that since they have to take the Spiral Stone-7X after paying so much, they will inevitably get more from it. ”

Robert took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "You and I both know this, but we have complete control over the technology of the stellar, and if Hua Guo makes any new technology through this, we are definitely the most advantageous side." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The business bu probably thinks the same way, they may have taken some other things, or facilitated some project cooperation. ”

"However, in contrast, the political fu side may want to take this opportunity to break free from the constraints of the United States."

"In fact, not only us, but the entire European Union, are thinking of becoming independent, and this may be an opportunity."

Tillman: "Is there any difference between getting rid of the constraints of the rice country and turning to the Hua country?" ”

Robert shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is an old saying in Huaguo, called 'there are variables, there are opportunities', and at the critical juncture of the opening of this new era, if we don't fight hard, it may be difficult for us to have a chance." ”

Compared with Tillman, as a managerial and administrative director, he is more aware of the awkward position of Europe as a whole in the world.

Not up or down, the potential is almost consumed, and now it can be said that it is more supported by the foundation.

If that's all there is to it.

There is still a rice country outside, which uses the rice yuan-oil system to suck blood from the world at every turn, and the whole of Europe is the back grain storage of the rice country.

In this situation, I am afraid that no country in the entire EU is willing to continue like this forever.

Tillman was silent for a moment, accepting Robert's statement.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "What do you say Huaguo wants to do when he buys the Spiral Stone-7X?" ”

Robert thought for a moment and said, "Improve the fusion reactor they developed?" Or research second-generation controlled nuclear fusion technology? What do you think? ”

Tillman thought for a moment and said, "I can only say that it must have something to do with controlled nuclear fusion technology, as for what it is used for, I don't know." “

After a slight pause, he continued, "And to be honest, I think this deal is more likely to be facilitated by that Professor Xu." ”

Hearing this, Robert frowned slightly: "But he never appeared from beginning to end, and I didn't see him meddling in this matter." ”

Tillman let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "For him, wanting something doesn't necessarily require him to come forward in person, with his status in that country, he just needs to say hello." ”

Robert nodded and said, "With his ability, it is indeed possible, but it doesn't matter anymore. ”

Tillman was silent for a moment, not speaking again.

For him, whether the stellar simulator can go through controlled nuclear fusion has become an obsession or a curse.

He has been studying stellars for more than ten years, and has devoted almost the second half of his life to it.

I originally thought that it would be impossible to see the scene of the successful 'imitation of the star' in this life, but maybe now there is a glimmer of hope?

Of course, his guess in the early stage was right, and this transaction of Spiral Stone-7X was really facilitated by Professor Xu behind the scenes.

"Perhaps, it's time for me to go to China?"

Suddenly, an idea popped into Tillman's mind.

On the other side, Huaguo, Jinling.

The time of March has passed in a leisurely day, not to mention, and half of the time of April has passed.

The rumors of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion that Xu Chuan had been worried about so far have not been heard, so he simply didn't care about it anymore.

On the campus of NTU, Xu Chuan took a math class as usual.

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, the phone in my pocket vibrate.

casually took out his mobile phone, and to his surprise, it was actually Professor Tillman Lent of the Planck Institute for Plasma Research who called him.

"Hey, Xu, do you want to come out for a drink? There's something I'd like to talk to you about. The phone answered, and Tillman's voice came over on the other end.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "You have come to Huaguo?" ”

Tillman: "Well, I'm in Jinling right now. ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "No problem, just send me the address." ”

"Okay."

In the café near the Qinhuai Xinjiekou subway station, Tillman Lunt, who was sitting by the window, watched the crowd of people flow outside the window, and his eyes fell on a store with a narrow line on the opposite side.

He had studied Chinese for a while, and although the devilish characters were hard to understand, it would make him recognize the name of the store opposite.

"Tea and beauty?"

Quite a strange name, but I have to say that this is a scenery that is rarely seen in Germania.

Looking at the line of at least forty-five people, Tillman's thoughts didn't know where they had spread.

After all, even in Hamburg, he had never seen a coffee shop that required forty-five people in line to get a cup of coffee.

Of course, he couldn't understand why anyone would rather wait in such a long line for a drink.

There is no way, the population density of the whole Germania cannot be compared with that of China at all.

Especially such large cities.

Hamburg, the largest city in Germany, has a population of only 1.8 million, while Jinling has a permanent population of nearly 10 million, and if it is a holiday, this number will double, or even double or triple.

He took a sip of his coffee, and the glass door of the café was pushed open, and Tillman Lent looked up to see a figure walking towards him.

"Long time no see, Professor Tillman." Sitting down opposite Tillman Lent, Xu Chuan smiled and said, calling the waiter and ordering a cup of coffee by the way.

"Nice to meet you, Xu." Tillman smiled and said hello, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries.

After chatting a few words of gossip, Tillman cut to the chase and asked curiously, "I'm curious, did you facilitate the transaction of the Spiral Stone-7X?" ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Tillman: "Because probably no one but you is going to buy a stellarator anymore." ”

"Everyone else is still working on the tokamak device you made, and no one is going to follow an unproven path. Even the Planck Institute for Plasma Research has abandoned this path. ”

Xu Chuan's expression did not change, and he did not answer Tillman's question.

Although he already knew that the transaction of Spiral Stone-7X was successful, this point Spiral Stone-7X was still in transportation, and he didn't want to make a sudden change at this critical node.

After all, if something goes wrong, it will only add to the troubles.

On the other side, Tillman didn't care if he answered, his words were more like talking to himself.

After talking for a while, he looked up at Xu Chuan and slowly asked, "Speaking of these, I actually only want to know the answer to one question, and this question may only be answered by you." ”

Xu Chuan glanced at him and asked curiously, "What's the problem?" ”

Tillman: "Can the stellarite be able to go through the path of controlled nuclear fusion?" ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "I have studied the stellar mimic all my life, the spiral stone-7X is my brainchild, and the stellar simulator is also my brainchild, and now the spiral stone-7X has been shut down or even sold. I just want to know if there is a chance that this path will be taken. ”

Hearing this question, looking at Professor Tillman Lent, who was extremely emotionally complex in front of him, Xu Chuan sighed slightly in his heart.

This is a great scholar who devotes all his time and energy to one path and only wants to pursue one result.

It's just that time is not waiting for him, and on the basis that China has already gone through the route of tokamak devices, there is no doubt that the stellar has been abandoned by various countries.

He came here today just to find an answer in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan looked up at him and said: "The problem of solving controllable nuclear fusion lies in two points, one is the confinement of isothermal ions, and the other is the problem of neutron irradiation. ”

"Solving these two problems, whether it's a tokamak device or a stellarator, is theoretically feasible."

Hearing this, Tillman's eyes suddenly burst into light.

This answer is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for him.

Although with the current situation, with his ability, it is almost impossible to motivate the institutions of various countries to invest in him and continue to research stellarstellars.

But for him, it was enough.

Perhaps, he really hopes to see the day when the stellar simulator successfully 'imitates the star'.

On the other side, Xu Chuan looked at Tillman and smiled, and said, "If you are willing to immigrate here, I can."

Before he finished speaking, Tillman shook his head with a smile and said with relief: "No, after I go back this time, I will probably choose to retire." ”

"But I'll keep waiting for news, I wish you success."
