Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Time is getting closer and closer to the end of the month. bookmark our website

Finally, all the contradictions are on the threshold.

Soon the next closed meeting of the Iter Council will be held in St. Pauli Durand, France. During this meeting, the US will once again question the Chinese representative on the Star Institute and related issues on intellectual property.

If nothing else, this may be the last time the iter board discussed this issue.

Because all kinds of signs are showing that the outcome of this meeting will determine the departure of China in the iter organization.

As for the compromises made by the Chinese side, the outside world has basically had no expectations.

Even the iter employees who did not want to be named were generated in an interview with the media, which may become the fuse for the iter organization to fall apart.

This may sound a bit exaggerated.

But in fact, it is not without this possibility.

As we all know, iter has seven major participating countries, namely Europe, America, Russia, Hua, Japan, Korea and India. Almost every participating country, except for iter, has its own domestic controllable nuclear fusion project.

Establishing its own technological advantages in controllable fusion research has almost become the consensus of all countries.

In the international public project of iter, it is not difficult to predict the attitude of each other.

This point can be seen from the insufficient annual funding of the iter project.

Obviously, no one thinks how far this huge, sturdy, and sturdy giant wheel can drive.

What's more, the captain at the helm is still European.

The US side suddenly made a mistake in intellectual property rights. It can be said that the contradictions were placed on the table.

The light of fusion, which is finally ignited, is like a candle in the wind, and it is crumbling in the cold night.

However, no matter how the international form changes, the scholars who do research in this field still have to do the experiment.

Just as Lu Zhou received a good report from Daya Bay, at the same time in the spiral stone 7-x laboratory in Germany, an experiment on magnetic confinement time was also underway.

"37 minutes and 6 seconds," looked at the timing on the computer screen, Kervin continued. "This is probably the best result of this month."

Although there is a terrible gap in the hour of the star device, at least they have been able to stabilize the magnetic constraint time for more than half an hour.

Professor Millek asked: "Can you conduct an ignition experiment?"

Professor Kreb shook his head: "The problem of irradiation is still unsolvable."

Professor Millek: "Is there any progress?"

“Progress?” Professor Kreiber’s face was even more bitter. “The only progress is probably that we are faintly aware that this route may not work. The swelling effect of metallic materials in neutron irradiation is It's too obvious, no matter how we try it, it's hard to change this situation... unless we can restrain the neutrons? But this sounds too magical."

The latest technology is the use of a molybdenum, zirconium alloy that is quite effective against the swelling effect of neutron irradiation, but alloys doped with molybdenum are much more difficult to weld than austenitic steels.

And not only that, no matter how many traces of molybdenum doped, the radioactivity of its metamorphic products is always an unstable factor.

Millek thought for a moment, and suddenly wondered: "If the alloy doesn't work, what about non-metallic materials?"

Kervin shrugged helplessly: "There are a lot of non-metallic materials, but the question is, do you have a good suggestion?"

This view was not the first time in the field of controlled fusion research, even in the last century. The problem is that research in this area has not made much progress.

Thinking of this, Kervin could not help but fall into meditation.

If it is Lu Zhou, what choice will he make?

However, Kervin, who is thinking about this problem, has no clue.

He sighed when he thought of it.

If you can cooperate with the Star Institute on the research of the imitation star, it will be fine...

If the teammate is Professor Lu, he is confident that the time to commercialize controlled fusion will be shortened by at least 20 years.

Once this technology is completed, the entire human civilization will benefit.

But in the current situation...

This is obviously impossible.

......

Outside the lab, Helms, sitting in the lounge, sipped coffee and took a look at the watch from time to time.

A few months ago, he was only an ordinary middle-level official of the CIA, but because of an evaluation report on controlled fusion research, he was highly appreciated by the top.

Now his identity is the intelligence commissioner of the controllable fusion problem appointed by the CIA. He is fully responsible for the collection of important information in related fields and has certain decision-making power in some matters.

This time he came to Germany to understand the latest developments in the research of the singularity of the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Max Planck Institute, and to meet with the senior officials of the German Ministry of Economics and Energy.

The countermeasures on the issue of China have worked very well. At least on the surface, the study of controllable fusion in China has come to a halt. The tar-1 device and hl-2a continued to strike, and the cooperation between the east device and General Atomic Energy Company was interrupted. People could not help but wonder if they left the "help" of the international community and how far they could go on this topic.

Anyway, now is the time to win the battle,

Of course, although on the surface, the plan is all right, he never does anything to despise the opponent's stupid things.

At least the name Lu Zhou is an unstable factor that makes him unable to let go.

From the limited intelligence, the cause of the failure of the two devices is inseparable from the name of this person.

At this moment, sitting opposite him is Lehman, the intelligence officer of the CIA in the German region.

Unlike the agents who are generally buried in the ground, his identity is public and registered with the German Ministry of Defence. The main responsibility is to sit in the office to drink coffee or exchange information with the German intelligence department.

The meeting between Helms and the senior officials of the German Ministry of Economics and Energy was coordinated by him.

When the two chatted, they just talked about the name Lu Zhou.

Although Lehman's work focus is not here, but raised his eyebrows with great interest.

"...so do you think this professor Lu is worth several teachers?"

Helms: "If you really understand him, you won't ask such a stupid question. His value is not calculated by several divisions, but should be in Silicon Valley or Seattle."

Didn't care about Helms's teasing, Lehmann said with a smile: "When did Silicon Valley and Seattle become units of measure?"

Helms: "Silicon Valley and Seattle are not, but the potential economic value behind it is. If a person can create 10 billion or even more than 100 billion gdp, I think he has this potential."

Lehmann: "A Nobel laureate can create 100 billion gdp? Is this the currency of Zimbabwe or Venezuela?"

"Of course it's the US dollar, and it's just a conservative estimate. The more I study his information, the more I will affirm my inference," he put down the coffee in his hand, Helms said. "But both the White House and the CIA have this name. The degree of attention is obviously not enough. I think this is quite dangerous."

Lehmann leaned back in the chair: "Maybe you can write a detailed report to the White House to remind the president who loves the limelight."

Helms: "In fact, I am doing this."

While talking, there was a group of people at the door.

The head of the head is Norbert, Secretary General of the German Ministry of Economics and Energy.

Standing up, Helms extended his right hand with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Norbert, I am very happy that we have met again."

"Hello, Mr. Helms," the right hand holding Helms shook, and Norbert didn't have too much chills, straight into the question, "You are flying from the United States probably not to find me. Drink coffee, there is nothing to say."

"Things are like this," he took back his right hand and sorted out the thoughts for a moment. Helms smiled and said, "Our Congress has reassessed the controllable fusion program and restarted an investment with a budget of about $2 billion. A new satellite-like experimental device is expected to be built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. For German companies, this will mean at least $1 billion in orders, and thousands or even tens of thousands of jobs. I believe that you should be interested."

"Oh?" Norbert's eyebrows were lifted with interest, but no more expressions. "Although I am very interested in this topic, why are the CIA people coming to discuss with us?"

What he did not understand was why the CIA people wanted to disclose the news to themselves.

"Because the specific bidding plan will come out next month. If you are interested in this project, I have a small proposal."

Norbert said quietly: "What proposal?"

"The closed meeting of the iter board at the end of the month," looked at Norbert's expression, and Helms' face was smiling. "We think it's time to ask the country to go out."
