The news spread quickly, and in the face of this sudden termination of cooperation, the physicists who came to China to participate in the cooperation and exchange conference were immediately confused.

There is a lot of discussion, and no one will understand why the Mi Congress made such a decision.

I have to say that the recent situation in the physics community, or the high-energy physics community, is like a roller coaster, with twists and turns.

First, CERN suddenly announced that it would stop the upgrade of the LHC Hadron Collider, which made all physicists feel shocked;

Immediately, CERN announced that it would cooperate with Huaguo to build a strong collider with a capacity of more than 100 Tev, which made everyone excited again.

And this will, the forcible intervention of the United States caused CERN to suspend the cooperation with Huaguo, and made everyone confused, completely ununderstanding how these things were interpreted.

The twists and turns of the story are even more exciting.

After all, no matter how outrageous it is, it is often not outrageous in reality.

In the Beihai Hotel, Qin Anguo, the head of science and technology, hurriedly rushed over from Fuxing Road.

This kind of thing happened suddenly, not only caught Xu Chuan off guard, but even the above didn't react.

Although the high-level has made people pay attention to this aspect, they thought that Mi Guo might intervene in this matter, and even made some preparations.

But this will have advanced to the stage of signing the contract, which can be said to be nine out of ten, but it suddenly came and cut off the waist, which really caught people off guard.

So after figuring out what was going on, Qin Anguo quickly rushed to the Beihai Hotel.

At least he needed to explain to this academician Xu what the situation was.

knocked on the door of the hotel room, and after the sound of inviting in came from inside, Qin Anguo pushed the door open and walked in.

In the room, Xu Chuan was in front of the computer to contact CERN and his friends over there to ask about the situation, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Qin Anguo walking in.

"Qin Yunchang, why are you here?"

Putting down the mouse with a smile, Xu Chuan got up and greeted.

Qin Anguo nodded, handed over the document he was carrying, and said, "Academician Xu, there is an explanation for the suspension of cooperation on the CERN side, you can take a look first." ”

Xu Chuan glanced at him, took the investigation document and flipped through it.

Sitting on the sofa opposite, Qin Anguo also explained: "It is indeed a bit unexpected that such a thing happened at this juncture. ”

"But the actions of the United States against us are not once or twice."

"We have also considered this action before and made some preparations, but this time the United States side can be said to be determined to compete with us in the field of high-energy physics."

"It has not only provided CERN with a batch of copper-oxide-based superconductors whose magnetic field strength performance is not weaker than that of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, but also prepaid more than 1.5 billion meters of gold project funds."

"I have to say that in this matter, Mi Guo has really paid the capital."

As he spoke, Qin Anguo shook his head with a wry smile helplessly.

With the rogue nature of the country in the United States, in the vast majority of international cooperation projects, it can be said that it is almost impossible to have this kind of advance payment of project funds.

Under normal circumstances, it would be nice if it could pay the project funds due.

Pay in advance?

That's not even a thought about it.

Just like the original ITER program, as of their voluntary departure, the United States has not paid the project fees that should have been paid.

After the realization of controlled nuclear fusion technology in China, ITER almost collapsed.

However, the United States seems to have recently planned to restart ITER and once again concentrate the efforts of various countries to work together on the idea of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

After all, more than half a year has passed now, and countries have basically discovered a lot of problems after advancing the controlled nuclear fusion technology for a certain distance.

Some may be able to be solved on their own, but others, such as first-wall materials and perfect high-temperature plasma turbulence control models, are difficult to deal with perfectly at the same time by relying on the capabilities of a single country.

Not every country can have top abilities in mathematics and materials science at the same time.

Even in the United States, although the magnetic field strength performance is not weaker than that of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, it still encounters many obstacles in the breakthrough of the first wall material.

Even the Princeton High Temperature Institute, which has the world's largest number of Fields Medal winners, has not yet established a mathematical model that can be perfectly controlled.

This is one of the reasons why they intervened in this cooperation between CERN and Huaguo.

Under normal circumstances, although it is difficult for research in the field of basic science to promote the development of science and technology in a timely manner, if a genius like Xu Chuan appears again, how can they cry?

Briefly flipped through the report that Qin Anguo brought, Xu Chuan put it on the table, frowned slightly and said:

"Although we are indeed lagging behind in the field of basic science, I am not worried about competing in the field of high-energy physics."

"A lot of research in the field of high-energy physics relies on the performance of large strong particle colliders. As long as we improve the performance of the collider, we don't have to worry about not finding it. ”

"It's just a bit of a pity if this collaboration is interrupted like this. Some of the detector technologies in CERN's stockpile are indeed much more advanced than ours. ”

"And these detector technologies, if we want to study them independently, I'm afraid it will take a long time to do it."

Hearing this, Qin Anguo thought for a moment and said, "Is there a specific technical direction or name, maybe we can trade it back in other ways?" ”

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I know the general technology, but if CERN refuses to cooperate with us, I'm afraid it won't provide us with any technology in the future." ”

"After all, since the United States intends to hinder our development in the field of basic science, it is unlikely that CERN will be allowed to flow these technologies out."

Qin Anguo nodded and said, "But no matter what, we have to try it first." ”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and asked, "Speaking of which, in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, do we have any cooperation or transactions with the United States?" For example, exporting superconducting materials, first wall materials, or building fusion reactors or something? ”

Qin Anguo thought for a moment and replied: "There is no plan to build a fusion reactor for the time being, except for the previous promise to help the Planck Institute build a fusion reactor when he traded the Planck Plasma Institute in the Germanic State when he traded Spiral Stone-7X, there is currently no plan to build a fusion reactor abroad." ”

"Including the export of electricity in Southeast Asia, it is planned to build fusion stations on the border of the country, and then transmit the power through high-voltage power lines."

"As for export materials, this one does."

"Although the first wall material is not in the export list for the time being, the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite materials of the first stage were classified into the export list some time ago."

"Of course, it's the result of some deals made. It wasn't planned in vain. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded and said, "I heard that the United States is planning to build a large controllable nuclear fusion reactor in Ohio?" And also purchased a batch of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials from us? ”

Although it is the Western Superconductor Group that currently produces high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, this is the scientific research result of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, so he still knows the news related to superconducting materials.

Qin Anguo: "Yes, we have made some transactions through the WTO before, we have obtained some equipment we need, and we have also lifted the export ban on high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials. ”

"At that time, the United States did purchase a batch of superconducting materials with us."

Speaking of this, Qin Anguo paused slightly, then looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Do you want to ban the sale of these materials?" ”

It is not surprising that he can think of this, after all, the person in front of him has twice forced South Korea to apologize.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "You don't have to completely ban sales, you can do an export control." ”

"Since the other party has already made a move, it's not fun not to respond."

"It's a pity that the volume of the United States is too large, and the patent authorization of the artificial SEI film is not good, otherwise I can directly cancel it for them."

"This group of rice guys, don't you know that I am the general director of the Large Strong Particle Collider? Disrupt the cooperation I negotiated, and if I don't toss them, I won't be surnamed Xu. ”
