Chen Nian was not worried about the superconducting coil technology at all, and of course he was not worried about the theoretical basis.

Because he was already prepared.

After a long period of intensive study, the number of source points at his disposal has reached 1800 points, and correspondingly, the source point consumption of the superconducting coil has been reduced to 560 points.

Between one increase and one decrease, he no longer hesitated.

After bidding farewell to Sebastian, Chen Nian returned to his room, and immediately began to analyze the technical analysis of "magnetic field generation equipment for Tokamak fusion devices based on room temperature superconducting materials".

He originally thought that this process would be very difficult, after all, it involved too many complicated basic theories, but in fact, the system directly skipped the theoretical part and directly gave his final result.

This is indeed consistent with his previous experience. The output of the system is always the final "applied technology".

Still, even just applying technology is enough for him.

The detailed data and models are enough for him and the members of the Huorong team to complete reverse engineering within a period of time, so as to really solve the theoretical problems.

It took two days for Chen Nian to completely absorb the superconducting coil technology, and his next goal is to complete the output within a month.

This is almost without difficulty.

With full efficiency, he couldn't even spend a week.

Therefore, he found Chen Guo immediately after completing the analysis, and the latter was not surprised by this—even though he had already received many doubts and opinions from various parties, but for the Huorong group and Chen Nian's Progress, he always holds 100% trust.

"Basic design of the magnetic field generating device of the annular grid-shaped bifilar parallel-wound system based on nuclear fusion poloidal field superconducting magnets. Well, I don't understand."

"But this thing is not just a coil, why is it called a superconducting coil?"

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian smiled and replied simply:

"This is just a common name with no specific meaning. It can be called a magnetic field generator instead of a superconducting coil."

"It's just that before metal hydrogen, our understanding of magnetic field generators has always been coils, so I just continued to use them casually."

"After the details are implemented, let's talk about whether to change the name or not. Anyway, I am only responsible for outputting the design drawings. I will let EAST decide by itself."

"Casual enough. Okay. What you're showing is just a first draft?"

Chen Nian shook his head and replied:

"It's not even the first draft—if you have to compare it, this thing is probably equivalent to the sketch of J-22 I gave you back then."

"I can see something, but in fact, if you really want to use it, it's still too bad."

"Understood."

Chen Guo put away the documents in her hand, and then continued:

"I will take this item to the Academy of Physical Sciences to give them a simple reference to determine the direction of follow-up work."

"Then, we may ask you to output phased results as soon as possible to ensure the smooth operation of the project."

"The preparatory work for EAST has been basically completed, and the materials are also complete. It can be said that everything is ready, and the only thing we need is Dongfeng."

"You, Zhuge Liang, really made the right move."

"A little later, I think the people below will really make a fuss."

"Get into trouble? Is it that serious?"

Chen Nian asked curiously.

In fact, he knew that due to the lack of convincing theoretical results in plasma control for a long time, there were indeed some voices of doubt or "proof" among the national institutions that had decided to participate in the EAST project, but these voices absolutely Most are still relatively mild.

After all, nuclear fusion itself is a gigantic project with a huge volume. The original purpose of everyone participating in this project is not to have to stare at Huaxia to produce results within a certain period of time, but to take a fancy to metal hydrogen The potential of this epoch-making material wants to take the fast train before it fully explodes its potential.

As for other problems, let Huaxia solve the problems that Huaxia can solve, and they are also ready to fully invest in the problems that Huaxia can't solve.

If this is not the case, how can they reflect their value as "partners" rather than "vassals", and how can they have a reason to share more benefits in subsequent achievements?

In this case, can they still make trouble?

No matter how you look at it, it is not in line with common sense.

Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Chen Guo sighed, and then explained:

"It's not that simple."

"Overall, the rebound of professionals is indeed not serious. They have relatively stable expectations for the difficulty of new technologies and the replacement cycle, and they will not lose confidence because of short-term stagnation."

"However, their benefactors are different."

"As you know, drawing so many scholars to participate in the EAST project is an adventure for them."

"After the huge investment, they can't get feedback in time. The pressure of public opinion and the so-called 'democracy' pressure they face is huge."

"As far as we know, small-scale demonstrations have begun to break out in France, accusing us of giving us precious scientific research resources for nothing."

"Just two days ago, the contact person called himself and wanted a clear answer."

"But how do we give this thing? Isn't that purely for fun?"

"So, this last conversation can be said to have broken up badly."

"The other party thinks that we are suspected of setting up technical barriers, and we think they are full and not farting."

"If we are not in an advantageous position now, I even suspect that they will use other means to kidnap us"

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"What else can they do?"

At this time, the trend of decoupling between Europe and the United States is becoming more and more obvious, and the connection between many countries in Europe is weakening year by year. The close community of interests a few years ago has already existed in name only, and its influence is also greatly declining.

That's all, return the means?

Old Mei didn't dare to do that anymore.

But soon, Chen Guo's answer made Chen Nian realize that he was indeed relatively naive in the field of "international communication".

"Not all diplomatic methods are as tough as the old US, they are completely persecuted."

"In fact, all the means can't escape four words in the end: exchange of interests."

"If you think about it, what would it mean for us if they came up with the idea that they decided to cut some of the tariff preferences for some of their imports because they're investing so much in fusion?"

"Don't say how disgusting it is, at least the losses it caused are real, and you can't find faults. After all, there is no problem with such things in terms of international law or morality."

"Another possibility is that the other party doesn't play tricks with you in terms of economy and trade, but intentionally reveals some decoupling signals, which is also a major blow to our local enterprises."

"After all, investors will be more vigilant when the relationship between the two parties is uncertain, and overall, our globalization strategy will inevitably be affected."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded silently.

This does make sense.

I can't pose an actual threat to you, so it's okay if I don't play with you?

Moreover, such "alienation" often has a high-sounding excuse. No matter how strong you are, you may still cooperate according to other people's demands

"Fortunately, such a thing is impossible to happen."

Chen Nian said slightly jokingly.

"Yeah, it won't happen now."

"That's why I said, your action is timely."

A few days later, Chen Guo and Chen Nian were discussing the follow-up plan of the superconducting coil.

In Paris, in an ordinary-looking office, several men are sitting together, discussing an issue that will have a major impact on the future plans of the entire country.

"... Judging from the current situation, China's progress in the field of fusion is extremely limited. Regarding the direction of plasma control, they are still far behind the United States."

"This problem will not be solved immediately because they have mastered the metal hydrogen technology. On the contrary, according to the results of our communication with relevant technical personnel, the principle of the room-temperature superconducting magnetic field is quite different from the high-temperature superconducting field that humans have previously known. difference."

"That is to say, if China wants to build a metal hydrogen-based tokamak device, it is basically equivalent to overthrowing, or abandoning most of the previous accumulation of human beings, and opening up another path."

"How difficult it is to do this, I don't think I need to say, everyone here can understand."

"So, I have always emphasized that the birth of metal hydrogen does not mean the birth of the opportunity to enter the market. We were too eager, and now we have trapped ourselves instead."

It was a senior official from the French Ministry of Economy who had the most negative attitude towards the EAST project than anyone else in the room.

Of course, this is not because of his own prejudices, but because this project is indeed too expensive for France.

Although the amount of money they invested is not too much, the hidden costs of technology, resources, and policies can often not be described by funds alone.

"So you're saying we should pull out of the project?"

The man in a suit sitting opposite him frowned and continued:

"This is the stupidest idea I have ever heard! What is 'too eager' and what is 'time to enter'? I don't think you understand at all. The reason why we have to make quick decisions is because Huaxia has already set the path to the future. The door opened a crack."

"If we don't rush to the front with the reason of 'help open the door', when the door is actually opened, will we still have a chance to get out of the door?"

"in addition."

"Don't distort my opinion!"

However, before the man in the suit finished speaking, the economic official interrupted him immediately.

"I never said that we would withdraw from the project. Whether it is from the consideration of our own policy continuity or the so-called 'technical prospect', this is not an optional decision."

"My meaning is very clear, that is to put pressure on Huaxia, and use the fact that they have 'no breakthrough' to win more core seats for us."

"In fact, it's not just us, some countries are already doing this."

"As far as I know, the German side has sent a letter to Huaxia, requesting to improve the project ranking of the two plasma physicists they exchanged before, so as to promote faster development of the project."

"This is an extremely smart approach. When Huaxia cannot make progress, we should take greater responsibility."

"Even in terms of international public opinion, such a request is not too much, is it?"

"The previous ITER project was based on the actual scientific research capabilities of each country to assign tasks to each country."

"This is the standard way of operating an international project - not like them, who are clearly not strong enough, but still stubbornly hold the highest authority and resources."

"This is their project! EAST is not a typical international project, it is a private project that belongs to Huaxia and 'introduces international cooperation'!"

The man in the suit was also unflinching, pointing out the mistakes made by economic officials.

"But if you say it, it's even more absurd."

"We're making wedding dresses for them? If it's a private project, what's the point of our involvement?"

"Isn't it obvious that in order to capture technology transfer?"

The argument between the two became so heated that no one else in the conference room could even get in on the conversation at all.

But of course, they didn't want to chime in.

After all, the two people who are arguing represent the highest say in technology and capital in the EAST project. It is a fight between gods and gods, so why should mortals get involved?

Make a noise, make a noise.

The final decision is often made out of such arguing.

In a sense, this is not a bad thing.

So, while they were still arguing, the man sitting in the corner silently turned on the computer.

He habitually browses the progress of the EAST project, and flips through the latest achievements publicly released by the other party in the academic discussion forum.

In fact, this is nothing to look at.

In the past three months, there has never been any real "heavyweight" article here.

just pass the time

He scrolled the mouse silently, his eyes swept randomly.

——

But at this moment, he saw something unusual.

One. No, a whole bunch of newly published articles.

And the content of the article that was pinned to the top is.

"A Study of Escape Electron Synchrotron Radiation in the EAST Tokamak".

Such a big topic?

He frowned slightly, and subconsciously nodded in.

But just after seeing the introduction and key words, he froze in place.

"Numerical Simulation Results of the Principle of Magnetic Ripple Field Generation."

Have you made progress?

He quickly turned to the main text, and after reading it briefly, he immediately felt that his hairs were all standing on end.

what's the situation?

The EAST project team has solved the key problem of the corrugated field?

Didn't Laomei say that it will take at least three years to solve this problem?

They haven't grasped it yet, but the Huaxia side has realized it?

Isn't this achievement considered a major breakthrough?

Waiting for the results they produced, it seems that it is more than that.

"Experimental results of bias suppression of escape current and magnetic energy transfer to achieve soft landing of current."

"Slide-away study of abnormal Doppler resonance characteristics."

"Finite Element Simulation Study on CFETR Longitudinal Field Waviness."

Going through one by one, there are 7 updated results and discussions in one day.

Moreover, the weight of each item is extremely heavy.

something seems wrong

He raised his head and said in a trembling voice:

"stop fighting."

"Circumstances have changed."

"I think you should watch this"

The two people on the opposite side stopped talking at the same time, and when they saw the things on the computer screen clearly, the same thought couldn't help but arise in their hearts.

Just now it was said that the EAST project team had no breakthrough results.

How long has it been since you came here for a big sale? ?
