Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 524: Kick them out
What’s more interesting is that while I was drinking coffee on Lu Zhou and looking at Perry, who was talking to reporters in the video, at this moment, the US Department of Energy, across the Pacific Ocean, sat in the office. In the moment, I am watching the photo of Lu Zhou.
Although the expression is not as leisurely as he is...
Just half a month ago, the Hualing Jinling Controllable Fusion Research Institute made a breakthrough in long-term plasma constraints, shaking the entire plasma physics community.
That is, during this half-month, he received at least 30 written letters on the matter.
Among them were sent by the American Academy of Sciences and also from the Princeton pppl laboratory.
In particular, the joint letter from the American Academy of Sciences even signed the Nobel Prize in Physics and former Minister of Energy Zhu Xiwen.
In these long-formed texts, apart from the importance of the future energy of the controllable nuclear fusion, there is only one central idea to be expressed - that is, money.
In addition, there are intelligence from the CIA, although they are nothing nutritious.
Compared with the information of Lu Zhou himself and the dazzling academic honors and titles he has obtained, he wants to know more about the steps that Hua Guo has taken in the controllable nuclear fusion technology. There are still more mature controllable fusion technologies. far.
However, the headache is that all this happened is too sudden.
Before the star device successfully completed the one-hour magnetic constraint time, no one believed that they would succeed, even the Chinese people did not believe it.
Isn't it easy to say that it is difficult for two minutes?
This sentence is said by the head of the Huaguo International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Executive Center!
"It’s a bunch of waste..."
Throwing the information in his hand on the table, Perry couldn't help but swear.
Regarding the importance of controllable nuclear fusion technology, there is no need for others to tell him, he knows better than anyone else.
However, how big this pit is, he is also more clear than anyone else.
Compared to the CIA report and some nutrient-free recommendations, he now needs more professional advice.
Pensively leaning on the office chair for a while, Perry, who made the decision in his heart, held the handrails, stood up from the chair, and pushed the door out of the office.
Looking at the assistant at the desk sitting at the door of his office, he spoke.
"Call the nif project manager, and the pppl lab controllable fusion project leader... no matter where they are now, I hope that I can see them here at this time of the day."
"I know."
Seeing Perry's serious expression, he realized that this matter was very important, and the assistant immediately reached out to the phone.
Perry nodded and was ready to leave.
Before starting the meeting, he had to go to the White House first.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped at the door and looked back at the assistant who was calling.
"And there is a connection with the CIA. Remember to let them send someone who is reliable."
......
About six or seven years ago, the $3.5 billion nif failed, which plunged the entire US controlled fusion research industry, and even the prospect of the entire internationally controlled nuclear fusion research was overcast.
The technical route of the entire inertial restraint was almost abolished. If it wasn't for this laser ignition device, it would be a nuclear test. It was already cut down by the Congressional Budget Committee.
Up to now, it seems that Tokamak seems to be able to deceive money, but the funds are not as good as before.
Especially in the big environment where countries are pushing against each other and the United States intends to withdraw from the iter organization, the future of the entire controlled fusion industry can be described as gray.
However, no one thought that the light under the Purple Mountain Mountain would illuminate the whole world...
At this point, Ed Moses, head of the National Ignition Facility (nif) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is sitting in the Department of Energy's office.
Sitting next to him is Terry Broger, head of the controllable fusion project at Princeton's pppl laboratory, and several other experts in the field of controlled fusion that he is familiar with.
This is not the first time they have been summoned by the relevant authorities.
Every once or twice a month, they will be summoned once by the Department of Energy or the Congressional Budget Committee, and then ask them if their budget is over-standard.
For them, the big money-burning households, and the bureaucrats on the issue of projects and funding, have almost become part of the daily research work.
However, unlike in the past, this time the Department of Energy called them not to be budgeted...
The two exchanged their sights and saw some unexpected expressions from each other's eyes.
Obviously, it's not just the people in the Department of Energy who sit here, but also a man who is wearing a suit, his facial expressions are not so rich, and he doesn't fit in with the surrounding environment.
"Introduction, my name is Helms, from the CIA."
Hearing the CIA, Ed Moses's eyebrows were lifted and he was interested.
"When is the CIA interested in nif?"
"I am not interested in nif, or, by contrast, I am more interested in pppl labs." Turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, the man named Helms looked at the next Bolog, "Special Mr. Rib Brog, I heard that you have worked with Professor Lu Zhou. Is this the case?"
Bolog nodded, cherish the word like Jin Dao, "Yes."
Helms: "What kind of person is he in your opinion?"
Brogg replied: "You should ask his tutor or student about this question. I don't have much contact with him in daily life. The only communication is basically working."
"I asked about the work," Helms flipped the notes on the page. "Our people noticed that about two years ago, a fund went through the overseas account to enter the research account of the project."
Brogg: "During his time at Princeton, he served as a consultant for the pppl laboratory he-3 project. Because funding research is difficult to continue, he has contributed to the insufficient portion of his own funding."
Helms asked: "Can you explain the contents of the he-3 project specifically?"
Brogg: "About launching he-3 particles to observe the internal plasma motion of the fusion device... If you are suspecting that this project has delivered critical technology to the Star Institute, you don't have to be so suspicious. This technology is Research on nuclear fusion is important, but the research itself is open. If you don't understand what I mean, you can go back and consult your physics professor."
Helms turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and wrote a few words on the paper: "I am sorry that my university is studying psychology and has not practiced physics."
Brogg whispered: "You should have learned in high school."
I don't know if I really didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it. Helms ignored Brogg's words, and his eyes stayed on the faces of him and Moses for a moment.
“If you don’t rely on the technology in pppl labs to achieve results, I want to know why a research institute that has just been established less than a year has achieved such incredible Results."
Ed Moses coughed softly: "The problem is very simple. Chinese people are willing to spend money on this technology. Although most of the problems we encounter can be solved without spending money, but when the money is correct. The correct use of the situation is completely different."
Perry, sitting at the conference table, said: "You don't have less money than them. What do you mean, you didn't use the money in the right place?"
Ed Moses looked awkwardly. "I certainly don't mean this. I can guarantee that every penny is used in the right place, but... trial and error is part of the research."
Without going to control Ed Moses, Helms looked at the notebook in his hand and continued to ask a lot of questions with no expression.
Among them are the cooperation on iter and the situation of the star imitation star research institute.
The meeting lasted about two hours.
After the meeting, Perry dismissed the experts who came to the meeting and left Helms to ask.
"What do you think?"
Mr. Helms used to work in the diplomatic system. For his opinion, Perry asked himself that although he would not necessarily go to his heart, it is still possible to refer to it.
Looking at the note in his hand, Helms meditated for a moment and said.
"According to our information, Huaguo has launched a controlled fusion demonstration reactor project. However, from the previous inquiry, in addition to the paper disclosed in the journal Science, our experts understand the Star Institute. Almost zero."
"Integrating the above clues, we can think that Chinese people, including the cfter project, have borrowed a lot of technology and experience from the iter project, but they steal technology from us, but they don't share their own research, or have I keep it. I think this is unreasonable."
Perry raised her eyebrows with interest: "So?"
"So, I suggest to negotiate with the Chinese side and let the Star Institute disclose more technical details." Here, Helms paused for a moment and said seriously, "Or, kick them all from the iter project. Go out."
