With the reports of media such as "Nuclear Industry Times" and "Huaxin News", as well as Xu Chuan's paper thrown on ARXIV, the field of controlled nuclear fusion has once again set off a big wave.

Not only the United States, but also the European Union, Japan and South Korea and other countries that have the ability to build their own fusion reactors have almost all set their sights on it.

In just two or three days, miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion has attracted the attention and attention of most developed countries in the world.

It has to be said that compared with large controllable nuclear fusion reactors, small controllable nuclear fusion reactors are indeed much more sensitive.

Especially when it is small enough to be applied to aircraft carriers, warships, and fighter planes, the already tense nerves of various countries are involuntarily pulled tighter.

Of course, this is also a new opportunity for the market.

The importance of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology has led to a huge market in an instant.

At least tens of billions of dollars of gold have flowed out of the hands of government officials or large capitalists and consortia in various countries and invested in research and development.

It's just a pity that this will be destined to be a bamboo basket for nothing.

There may be some research institutions that can gain some technology from this project that will be useful for large controllable nuclear fusion reactors, but on the whole, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the investment in it.

But then again, the vigorous investment in miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion that has progressed abroad has not moved much at home.

No, because of the sensitivity of this technology, the vast majority of domestic private enterprises or capital cannot get involved at all.

As for the good and bad, the good and the bad can only be said to have their own evaluation.

The outside world made a big noise, which didn't mean anything to Xu Chuan.

After the miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology of the Xinghai Research Institute was on the right track, he focused his attention on another matter.

Large Hadron Collider!

After deliberation by the CERN Board of Governors, CERN's members finally won the majority vote and passed the decision to exchange technology for the seats of the large strong particle collider built by China.

In particular, reports of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology have accelerated this decision-making decision.

For the EU, it is more willing to invest money in research on controlled nuclear fusion than to spend more money on basic scientific research equipment such as the Large Hadron Collider.

After all, research in the field of high-energy physics is basically fully open.

Even CERN, when China did not join as a member in the early days, did not refuse the entry of Chinese physicists and related academic institutions.

It's just that at that time, compared with CERN's own member countries, the chances of Chinese scholars applying for the right to use the collider were smaller, but not impossible.

This is not incomprehensible, after all, every time the Large Strong Particle Collider is started, it burns money.

In the absence of fixed financial support, it is natural that the academic research application of outsiders will be more stringent.

This is a very normal thing.

Moreover, the research in the field of high-energy physics itself has long gone beyond the application of science and technology for more than ten years, even decades, or hundreds of years.

Just like the discovery of the Higgs boson, it has done little to promote the application of technology in the real world, except to close the last big loophole in the Standard Model.

After all, even if we know that the mass of particles is derived from the Higgs field, it will not be possible to cooperate with relevant theories to develop corresponding scientific equipment in a short period of time, even a century or two, or even longer.

This kind of research in the frontier field of physics is not something that can be done by one country or one team, it requires all countries in the world to join forces and work together to promote it.

On the other side, Jinling.

In the office of NTU, Xu Chuan had just finished processing a work email about large-scale strong particle collisions, and assistant Tang Ran walked over with light steps.

"Professor, Secretary Wu Tianhua of Star City in your hometown of Xiangnan would like to meet with you."

Xu Chuan raised his head and glanced at her and asked, "Now?" ”

Tang Ran nodded and said, "Well, Wu Shuji is already waiting in another conference room." ”

Xu Chuan put down the mouse in his hand, got up and said, "Take me over." ”

Following Tang Ran, Xu Chuan quickly rushed to the reception room of Nanda University.

Although his own level is higher than that of the city secretary of a prefecture-level city like Star City, people came to him in person, and in the name of his hometown, this must not make people wait for a long time.

In the reception room, Wu Tianhua sat with him, as well as the school leaders and work secretaries of NTU.

Seeing Xu Chuan push open the door and walk in, Wu Tianhua stood up with a smile on his face, walked over quickly, enthusiastically stretched out his hands to hold Xu Chuan's hand and shook it: "Academician Xu, I took the liberty to come to disturb your research work today, I can't help but say sorry." ”

Xu Chuan shook his hand with a smile and said, "What I said, Wu Shuji, you are too polite." ”

Wu Tianhua said with a smile: "It's better to see it for a long time, Academician Xu looks younger and more promising than he imagined, we can produce a great scholar like you in Xiangnan, this is the eternal pride of my hometown." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said modestly: "I just did what a scholar should do." ”

After a few words of greeting, Wu Tianhua looked at Xu Chuan with a smile and said, "This time, I took the liberty to come here to disturb Academician Xu's research, mainly because I wanted to ask Academician Xu to help guide the scientific research and development work in my hometown." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, he is an academic staff engaged in scientific research, guiding the development work of southern Hunan? Although it is scientific research, this is too far, right?

On the sofa, Wu Tianhua said with a smile: "I can't hide it, I came here this time, mainly to ask Academician Xu for a favor." ”

As he spoke, the attendant, who was sitting on the sofa with a restrained half of his ass, quickly stood up and handed over a document with respectful hands.

Xu Chuan took it with a hint of doubt and flipped through it.

Report on the Feasibility of Building a Large Strong Particle Collider in Star City

The title was in his eyes, and Xu Chuan knew the reason why this Wu Shuji came to him.

Pull scientific research projects for his hometown.

PS: Go back to your hometown for the holiday this evening, toss until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and then eat and chat (mainly refers to being urged to marry, the cerebellum is going to wither) or something toss to more than ten o'clock before there is time code words, it's too late, you can only send a paragraph out of the code to keep full attendance, I continue to code words now, I'll make up the rest later, and ask for a monthly ticket by the way.
