1985 year 11 month, US “Air Force One” arrived in Geneva, when US President Ronald Reagan met with the new leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gobachev, to start negotiations on nuclear disarmament. .

In the context of the Iron Curtain, this “fireside meeting” was generally optimistic at the time as an opportunity for the Cold War to break the ice.

However, the first meeting between Reagan and Golbbachov did not achieve the desired progress. The two sides clashed with each other around the “strategic defense plan” and the “Star Wars plan” and debated the “human rights” and “regional issues”. The meeting was once on the verge of disappointment.

At the end of the meeting, about five in the morning, the two sides finally agreed to issue a joint statement that did not contain any actual commitments.

It is also at the end of this statement, almost the position of the footnote, that the two top leaders have joined an ambiguous guarantee that the two countries will develop a new energy source in the common interest of all mankind. .

And this is the origin of the iter program.

So the joke that made the United States retreat…

Kreiber himself knew in his heart that this was impossible.

Even though the United States has never completed its promised 25% funding (only 9% paid), iter itself is a politically dependent research project.

Under normal circumstances, research on controlled nuclear fusion can be used as an “island” away from politics.

But the premise of all this is based on the fact that no one knows how far the future will be.

Thinking about this from a rational point of view, if he wants to choose a partner between the American research institution and the Lu-Professor, he will no doubt choose the latter that has made a great Accomplishment effect in the research field.

Unfortunately, as a researcher, he has no say in this matter.

Even the Helmholtz Union, who is standing next to him, has no say.

If the United States puts pressure on the iter organization through the EU and uses intellectual property as an excuse, it will almost certainly be able to kick the country out, just like the original Galileo plan.

Looking at the Miller Professor who turned and left, Kreiber’s face showed a hint of worry.

Strictly speaking, this is not a question he should consider.

But if the things he is worried about really happen, maybe the iter organization will likely face the end of the collapse.

After all, from the beginning, this organization was not so secure, everyone was gathered together in a dream.

No one really pinned the hope of solving the energy problem on the controllable fusion energy that I don’t know yet, but now even in the coffee shop in the city, he can hear the young man of Greifswald University. We are chatting about solving the problems after the controllable fusion technology.

It is hard to say that the light at the foot of Zijin Mountain is the hope of igniting the future energy, or it blows out the last flame on it.

If you don’t have any hope from the beginning, maybe they can go further?

……

The man who knocked on the office door was a man who was in his early thirties and looked a little tall and thin.

According to his own self-introduction, his name is He Mingxuan, the secretary of the Director of the Energy Bureau, Lu.

When I went to Beijing, Lu Zhou had seen him, but I didn’t say that’s all.

Although he didn’t know what the Energy Bureau was looking for, Lu Zhou was very polite to invite him to come and sit down.

Sitting next to Xu Principal, opposite Lu Zhou, He Mingxuan said in a sincere manner: “I originally went to Zhongshan International to visit you. As a result, you are not there. The situation is too sudden, take the liberty to bother, really I am sorry.”

“Nothing, don’t be so polite, anyway, I am on vacation for the past two days, not very busy.” Looking at the secretary sitting opposite, Lu Zhou said, “And I also want to know, what makes you so anxious? ”

He noticed the secret of the secretary, Xu Principal laughed, and put down the teacup in his hand.

“It seems that the two have something to talk about, then I will not bother here.”

He has also participated in many national major scientific research projects, and many of them have sensitive topics in the field of information security. It doesn’t matter what you listen to, what you shouldn’t listen to, he can still get it.

After that, the old mister stood up and let out his office and walked outside the door.

Looking at the door of the office, the secretary shouted aok a deep breath and put on a serious expression, straight to the point and said: “The United States is planning to kick us out of iter.”

Upon hearing the sudden news, Lu Zhou squinted and frowned. “… Is the news reliable?”

What secretary nodded: “The credibility of the message is above 90%. In fact, they have already done so.”

When I heard this, Lu Zhou’s eyebrows could not help but show a dignified color.

For him, this is definitely not good news.

Although the star-2 project is similar to the original cfter project in China, it is not affiliated with the iter program, but the research institutions in various countries are more or less benefiting from the iteral pot.

If China withdraws from the iter program, it means not only that the previous tens of billions of “access fees” and subsequent investments have been squandered, but the domestically controlled nuclear fusion research has been the basis for the visits and exchanges with foreign research institutes. It will also be interrupted.

In addition to the research losses, orders for 1 billion worth of Chinese companies will also face the risk of being replaced by other member states.

He does not understand the diplomatic affairs, but from a scientific perspective, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

Lu Zhou frowned: “…what is the reason for the United States to do this?”

“The reason is naturally intellectual property issues. Experts appointed by the US Foreign Ministry on the iter board have asked us questions. They think that we have concealed our research results while receiving technology, which violates the spirit of the iter agreement…” There is a bitter smile on the secretary’s face. “Of course, you can also do it without any reason.”

Yes, there is no reason at all.

After listening to his words, although understanding this meaning, Lu Zhou shook his head.

“This is simply unreasonable. We have done our duty to disclose the research progress on the controllable fusion project, and we are not obligated to disclose more. If the master computer in the star device uses the inter chip, then can I ask? Do they disclose their microchip technology?”

The secretary silently took out his notebook from his pocket and wrote down the sentence.

Looking at the notes, Lu Zhou sighed slightly. “What are you taking notes?”

“I think what you said is quite good,” Secretary He said, somewhat helplessly. “At least… when we respond in diplomatic situations, we can say that.”

Although, reasoning has never been used.

After a moment of indulging, Lu Zhou asked: “What specific requirements did they put forward?”

Secretary: “They asked to send an academic visiting team composed of iter members to the Star Imitation Institute, to participate in the research. And the most freshman process that required our company to open the sg-1 superconducting coil. All technical details about the modified star unit and the most critical control options.”

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou was lost in thought.

Superconducting materials are not mentioned for the time being. The sg-1 material itself is a public patent. The sg-1 wire is also a product for export. The confidentiality is only the production process developed by Baosheng Group with the assistance of the Nanjing Advanced Research Institute.

Regardless of whether the public is open or not, no matter what decision the country makes, it has nothing to do with Lu Zhou.

But the problem with the control plan is big.

The control scheme that National Quemoy University Computer Software department made could not be better than the spiral stone 7-x lab.

The star device is capable of more than one hour of plasma confinement, half of which is sg-1 superconducting material, and the other half is basically on Xiao AI.

In short, it is impossible for him to open control plans.

Not to mention making such a request, it is unreasonable in itself.

Looking at the Lu res from the brief remark, Secretary He asked seriously: “This incident is very tricky. After we learned the news, we have been connected for two days, but we still have no good results. The top management attaches great importance to your opinion. If it is not really impossible to leave, Director Lu originally intended to visit Nanjing in person.”

“What do you think… what should we do now?”
