Lu Zhou’s speech was beyond the expectations of Academician Wu.

In the previous meeting with Ambassador Zhang, Lu Zhou had revealed that he planned to talk about the new energy field in this meeting.

But everyone didn’t think much about it, only when he was going to talk about the future direction of lithium-sulfur battery related technology, and what kind of support the country needs for his own research.

It is precisely because of this that the consultant who met this time, the so-called “academic translation”, will invite Wu Shigang to serve.

However, nuclear fusion is a systematic scientific research project…

There is no doubt that this is beyond the scope of his professional field.

I noticed that the old man looked towards his own eyes. Academician Wu hesitated and looked at Lu Zhou seriously.

“Can you elaborate?”

Lu Zhou nodded: “The source of all energy on Earth, whether it is fossil fuel, wind energy, water potential… ultimately comes from the sun, and the energy of the sun comes from fusion.”

“As I said before, from the technical point of view, summing up the experience of several industrial revolutions, the key to liberating all productivity and factors of production, in the final analysis, is energy.”

“If we can grasp the energy of fusion, it means that we have mastered the sun and we have the future!”

The room was quiet for a minute.

Lu Zhou also waited quietly for a minute.

He believes that the people sitting here have heard hundreds of excitement and passionate speeches, and have learned enough lessons from them.

But he also believes in the weight of the Nobel Prize itself and the energy of the word itself.

It is cleaner than fission power generation and consumes a much wider source of raw materials.

The mass of strontium contained in one liter of seawater reaches 0.03g, and nuclear fusion provides the equivalent of the energy released by the complete combustion of 300 liters of gasoline.

The resources on Earth are extremely rich, and it exceeds 45 trillion tons in seawater. It can be said that it is inexhaustible. As for the expensive cockroaches, it can also be solved by the method of “stagnation”.

If you have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, all the problems of energy that modern industry faces will no longer be a problem.

And what does it mean once the energy problem is solved?

This means that as long as you think, even in the barren desert, you can build a reinforced concrete tower. Even if you don’t see the seabed in the sky, you can spread a vast expanse of farmland… at least in theory.

Because it was then.

Electricity, no longer worth the money…

Of course, these things are only visible to Lu Zhou himself, or he believes he can see it.

What the leader needs to consider is more realistic than these unrealized fantasies.

After thinking for a long time, Academician Wu and the old man exchanged a line of sight, and then looked toward Lu Zhou, slowly said.

“The controlled nuclear fusion project has been around for a long time, but there has been no obvious progress so far. In fact, our country has played a very important role in the ITER project. We are very aware of the value of this technology and are willing to invest more in it. More. But the most critical question is, how much do you have? And whether this is worth it.”

Lu Zhou shook his head: “Unless the technology has been implemented, no technology can know that it can be done before starting the experiment. Science itself is trial and error, and science in any field is like this. You are an academician, you should understand Let’s go.”

“But the cost of trial and error on controllable nuclear fusion technology is probably a bit big.”

When he said this, Wu Shigang felt that he was sweating with his hands full of hands.

Whether it is because of this amazing topic itself, or because of the appetite of this young people.

Too few to say, that is also the project of hundreds of millions.

Too much to say, it is not capped.

Before actually making it, no one knows how much it will burn except for the visible black hole.

Regarding the question raised by Academician Wu, Lu Zhou did not conceal, nodded.

“Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s in the present, and it’s good for you.”

Perhaps after careful consideration, it may have been touched by the last sentence.

The old man thought about it for about half a minute, slowly started talking: “What support do you need?”

Lu Zhou said in a positive tone: “Funding, people, and cooperation with relevant departments.”

The old man was nodded, didn’t even ask the specific number, only answered three words.

“no problem.”

……

As the conversation in the compound is going on, Academician Pan Changhong, who is far away from the Institute of Physics of the Southwestern Institute of Nuclear Industry, is hosting an important working meeting.

The core issue discussed at the meeting was the breakthrough progress of the spiral stone 7-X on plasma confinement time one month ago.

The reporter who did the reporting work at the meeting was Sheng Xianfu Professor who came back from the German exchange visit. In the report, he mentioned the problems of the satellites on the water-cooled divertor, mentioned how the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics solved this problem, and also highlighted Lu Zhou’s thesis.

“In the study of the quasar, the calculation results of the Lu-Professor played a crucial role, and this is reflected in the control scheme after the update of the Spiral Stone 7-X Institute…”

In the PPT, Sheng Professor showed the relevant technical details and quickly passed the data on the photograph.

At the end of the last, he held his hands on the table and said in a positive tone.

“We must pay attention to this issue. We started too late for the study of the satellite, but if we don’t pay attention, we will go on late.”

At this time, a researcher raised objections.

“However, even so, Tokamak is more concise in engineering and is still the mainstream of international nuclear fusion energy research.”

Sheng Professor nodded, argued reasonably.

“I know that Tokamak is still the mainstream, but it does not mean that it must be correct. Before the birth of this technology, any possibility should be considered!”

At this time, another researcher put forward his own point of view.

“The technical difficulty of Tokamak is in the constraints on the plasma? Why not ask the Foundation to help us design a control solution?”

Sheng Professor shook his head: “Tokamak is more difficult than the imitation star to limit the plasma. Even if such a control scheme exists, it is difficult to have a matching hardware that can run. “”

The researcher continued: “You don’t let him try, how can I know?”

Sheng Professor is annoying: “Then why don’t you write to him yourself?”

I was stunned by this sentence, and the researcher smiled and stopped talking.

Let the promise of the big man to do things for himself, he is not that big face.

Because of the time, the meeting entered the intermission.

Walking to the hallway, recalling the words that the previous Professor said in the report work, Academician Pan ordered a cigarette.

“I feel faintly, the road to Tokamak may not work.”

Compared with the media’s cheers for every achievement of EASTsystem, Pan, who is really engaged in this field, is relatively cautious.

Because many things may seem exciting in the layman’s case, but even for the layman, even the staged results are not.

Standing next to Pan’s academician, Zheng Gaoming’s Professor asked, “Why do you say that?”

“There is no special reason,” said Pan, who just shook his head and played the cigarette butt on the finger. “It’s just an intuition.”

Just then, the phone in his pocket rang.

The cigarette butt was annihilated, and Pan’s scholar reached out and touched the phone and got it in his ear.

“Hey?”

After listening to the silence for a while, Pan Academician never spoke, just nodded at the end.

“okay, I get it.”

I have been observing the expression on the face of Pan Academician. Zheng Gaoming is somewhat unpredictable and can’t help but ask the opening.

“……what’s up?”

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Pan Academician looked towards the Zheng Professor.

“The one we just talked about at the meeting is now in Beijing.”
