Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The iter board is the highest decision-making body of the iter program and organization. The seven member governments send representatives of 4 representatives authorized by their respective foreign ministries and nominated experts according to the needs of the meeting. Their roles and responsibilities are related to the company’s board of directors. Very similar.

However, unlike the company, there is no “company law” that can constrain the resolution of the iter board.

It is not entirely the technical level and the proportion of capital contribution in determining the right of the major shareholders to speak. It depends more on the diplomatic strength of each country.

I have to admit that the United States does have the ability to play tricks at this point. At the beginning, the question sent by the US representative to the Chinese representative did indeed make the Chinese representative very passive at the meeting.

However, at this meeting, the situation has reversed.

Upon changing the previous silence, at the meeting of the board of directors, the deputy director of the re-designated representative of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Luo Zhanyuan, made a clear and tough response to the request made by the US personnel.

“…We have fulfilled our obligations to disclose the details of the controlled fusion experiments and the progress of the research to the iter countries. If the star device is applied to a certain technology, we must disclose all the technical details, then I can be very responsible. As a reminder, the master computer in the star device uses inter microchip. Should you show your sincerity before asking the other party to give generously?

After listening to the repetition of the translation, as the representative of the United States, Adam Cohen, sharply staring at Luo Zhanyuan, said seriously: “This is a request for unreasonable trouble, Intel is not a partner of iter, microchip technology is the private property of Intel Corporation. Moreover, this is totally different from what we are discussing!”

In the face of the aggressive tone of Minister Cohen, Luo Zhanyuan made a rebuttal with the slightest hesitation.

“The Star Imitation Star Institute and its partner companies are also not the partner of iter. The sg-1 superconducting magnet technology and the star device control scheme belong to the private property of each unit. In my opinion, this is the same thing as the iter project. ”

Adam Cohen: “You are stealing the concept!”

Luo Zhanyuan asked unceremoniously: “Are you talking about yourself?”

“…”

The entire conference has basically become the “battlefield” of the representatives of China and the United States. The two sides are screaming at you and come to me, arguing over intellectual property issues.

Representatives of the remaining member states did not seem to be interested in it, but it is obvious that they are not indifferent to it.

The Director General of the island sitting on the table was suddenly sighed.

“This meeting seems to be unhappy.”

The representative of the Japanese country, Shi Tianqing, who was sitting next to him, heard this sentence and asked him with a slight look.

“Is this island, don’t you know how the Land Professor did it?”

Last year, the cray-xc50 supercomputer was officially commissioned at the Rokkasho Nuclear Fusion Research Institute to provide computational support for the National Controllable Fusion Research and iter programs. Although the computing power of the computer on the super-calculation list is only around 15, the super-computing is designed to be used for controllable nuclear fusion research, so it cannot be easily compared with other general-purpose computers.

Just as anton is used in computational chemistry, cray-xc50 is equivalent to a large combine harvester for plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion.

Just right, they still lack a set of effective control solutions. If China agrees to open the control program of the Star Imitation Institute, they are confident that they can do better.

However, this possibility is really too low.

Staring at the representatives of the two sides in the early meeting, the island repaired for a while and answered the question from Tanaka.

“I want to be curious, but I have to say that this is not a euphemistic way. The US hopes to show its strength in the iter project, but the possibility that China is willing to compromise on this issue is very low, if Cohen mister continues to show himself The tough, final result is likely to cause China to completely withdraw from the iter project.”

Ishida Keiichi asked: “Is this not what the Americans hope?”

“Not necessarily,” the island shook his head. “At least, it is not in the interest of the Americans to force the Chinese to withdraw from the iter before the Chinese nation discloses this part of the research.”

On the other hand, I feel the sight of the representatives of other countries from time to time. Zhou Chengfu, sitting on the expert table, is a complex expression.

The meeting was full of gunpowder from the beginning, and even before he started, he smelled the signs.

First, the domestic internal meeting, and then the representative of the Air Force of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the deputy director Luo’s tough performance at the meeting can be said to have exceeded his expectations.

All sorts of signs are showing that the top has seemed to have given up on the illusion of iter. And it is almost foreseeable that in the face of the risk of being kicked out, the next funding will probably not arrive as scheduled.

As the country’s attitude toward the iter project has turned sharply, the director of the China National Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Executive Center has clearly been caught in a dilemma.

From a rational point of view, he does not want to exit iter.

At the beginning of such a large price to join in, now if you really withdraw, not only means that those efforts are in vain, it also means that many domestic research institutions and the member countries of the iter will face the possibility of termination.

The most important thing is that if China finally decides to withdraw from iter, then the International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Executive Center naturally has no need to exist. Even if it is unlikely to be dissolved on the spot, restructuring is inevitable.

And it is almost foreseeable that research in related fields in China will likely shift to a full-fledged star.

And his hard work for more than a decade…

Thinking of this, Zhou Chengfu’s expression is more and more complicated.

At this time, he himself is not clear. What he is worried about is the future of the domestic controllable nuclear fusion business, or his own future…

……

For Lu Zhou, the dramatic changes in iter are also not a pleasant thing.

Originally in his plan, there will be a lot of cooperation with the Max Planck Society, but now it seems that he and the spiral stone 7-x laboratory have changed from potential partners to potential competitors.

I have to say that how much of this change still makes him feel a bit complicated.

However, it is very exciting that just after he finally completed the plan of the liquid lithium neutron club system, the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Group also sent good news.

Once again, the Chief Wang engineers in Nanjing not only brought the hope of using magnetic fluid generators on the fusion reactor, but also brought a more detailed sketch.

Although it is still a sketch, in addition to the connection port, the basic structure of the entire magnetic fluid generator set has been designed.

Holding this blueprint and simply looking at the eyes, Lu Zhou said.

“There is basically no problem… Yes, what is the expected energy conversion efficiency?”

Academician Wang: “The initial estimate of 50% is no problem, maybe it can be higher. But the specific object did not come out, it is too early to say it.”

Lu Zhou unexpectedly said: “50%? Is it so high?”

Academician Laughed said: “This is only a conservative estimate. We have discussed with experts from the Institute of Electrical Engineering. As you said, magnetic fluid power generation technology is not suitable for use in thermal power, but it is still quite feasible for nuclear fusion power generation. The problem of heating the plasma is not discussed, as well as the effect of coal slag and carbon deposits on engine efficiency. These problems that we have difficulty solving on thermal power are not present.”

Lu Zhou: “How long will the concrete object be made?”

Academician Wang thought about it and replied: “About next year, except for the part of the connection port, the design problem is actually not big, and it is not very troublesome to make it.”

Speaking of this, Academician Wang laughed and continued, “Generators are actually small things. This is a problem that can be solved with time. I heard that you intend to use magnetic fluid generators for nuclear fusion, and those who have participated in 863 The planned teachers have been gearing up. As long as you can build the reactor, our generator set will definitely be ready for you.”

“It’s yours, I am a bit worried now. I heard that the United States intends to kick us out of the iter project. This is a prelude to a technical blockade. Can you still do it?”

Upon hearing the joke of Academician Wang, Lu Zhou was lightly laughed.

“The same problem does not require you to worry about it. There is no use for anything more. If you can’t do it, then you will know.”

“It seems that you are quite confident,” looked at Lu Zhou’s confident face. Academician Laughed said, “Say, you were born in the 1990s. Do you know that the technical blockade means you?”

Lu Zhou said calmly: “It means that the relevant visits and exchanges between more than 20 research institutes in China and foreign controllable fusion research units may be suspended. About 100 ongoing research projects may not be carried out or even cancelled. ”

In addition, it will probably affect several 1 billion orders, as well as the graduation of hundreds of masters and doctoral students…

These are things that can happen, or that must happen.

However, even if it is so?

Can compromise be exchanged for equality and dignity?

At least, Lu Zhou doesn’t think so.

“It seems you know.”

Lu Zhou, who looked at the expression on his face did not change at all. In the sight of Dr. Wang, he gradually brought a touch of approval.

The ability and ability are different. A good researcher does not necessarily become an outstanding academic leader. There is a distinction between talent and talent.

If he said that he had some doubts about the young person in charge, then this doubt is now diluted a lot.

Converging the expression of laughter, looking at Lu Zhou, the old mister said solemnly.

“Then please, please!”
