"After the things that should be done are done, the next step is to focus on development."

In the office, Chen Nian looked at the report just sent back from the front with satisfaction, with a relieved smile on his face.

Yes, the incident is not completely resolved, but at least, they will not be able to jump up for a long time in the future.

In other words, up to now, the external environmental problems have basically been resolved.

The whole world will gradually move from confrontation to cooperation.

Chen Guo on the opposite side nodded slightly, and replied:

"Yes, the next three years will be a critical strategic window period before the official birth of nuclear fusion technology."

"In these three years, we must use the fastest speed to lay a solid foundation for technology and economy, so as to drive the development of military and national power."

"Then, we need to spend about 10 years to expand our influence and establish our global base."

"I know."

Chen Nian raised his hand and interrupted Chen Guo's words.

Chen Guo laughed, obviously he could understand what Chen Nian meant, so he skipped the topic and asked instead:

"Did you sort out the follow-up project plan when you went to Hefei this time? Apart from the shortage of talents reported earlier, what are the difficulties in other resources and technologies?"

Hearing this, Chen Nian frowned slightly.

What is the difficulty?

It should be said that the whole project is all difficult.

After it was determined to use metal hydrogen as the coil material, the modification of the entire EAST device reached an astonishing scale.

The usability of the original HT-7 device has dropped to the limit, and it can basically be said to start from zero.

——

No, it should start with a negative number.

Because the first step is not to build, but to dismantle.

But fortunately, the EAST project team can be said to be familiar with this matter. After all, this tokamak device has been dismantled by them all the way from T-7 to the present.

In addition, even without talking about the technology itself, the construction of other ancillary facilities and equipment is not so easy.

Judging from the report Chen Nian received, CNNC-5 has already begun to inspect the project site, and it is expected to clear a large number of enterprises originally located on Science Island, relocate almost all local residents, and carry out super-large-scale civil works.

The difficulty of this process does not belong to the technical category, but you want to say that it is not difficult?

How many problems have arisen in the matter of demolition alone.

Therefore, Chen Nian still maintains relatively flat expectations for the project.

After all, when a project is large enough, you can no longer look at it through a purely technical lens.

Thinking of this, he said:

"There are many difficulties in the whole project, but they are mainly concentrated in the aspects of project operation and technology implementation."

"For me, in the purely technical field, there are basically no obstacles, and there is even room for effort."

He is not bragging when he says this. Although the number of source points required for a commercial nuclear fusion device has reached an astonishing 3,400 points, these 3,400 points are not spent all at once.

The project cycle is a total of 3 years, and the pre-technical preparation work will last for about one and a half to two years. According to his current accumulation rate of 150 points per month on average, plus the 1200 points in hand, it can fully meet the needs of the project .

"clear."

Chen Guo nodded and continued to ask:

"The goal of the new EAST project is to directly build an engineering experimental reactor. The various systems involved in it are extremely complex, and it may still take you a lot of time."

"At this point, do you have any other ideas?"

"For example, first establish a dedicated technical team to lead the project through technology penetration?"

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian was also slightly taken aback.

In fact, he had thought about this plan.

After all, one's own strength is too limited. Even with the support of the system, there is no difficulty in "technical preparation", but in the work of "technical transfer", which consumes a lot of time and energy, there is actually no way at all. Opportunistic approach.

Are you going to show the picture? Do you want to write the document? Do you want to calculate the actual adapted data?

One thing after another is superimposed, and it is not as simple as it seems.

Therefore, it is best to have someone to help you share part of the work.

But here comes the problem again. In order for this so-called "technical team" to be able to take responsibility, it is necessary to ensure that their understanding of technology can reach at least 50% of their own level.

Doesn't this evolve into teaching students?

Even if you choose from mature scholars who have been deeply involved in the current field for many years, it is difficult to pick the right candidate.

Because, the technologies currently held by Chen Nian are brand new.

It involves a large number of complex theorems and weird logic that humans have never been involved in before, and other people are not like Chen Nian, and the information cannot be directly poured into the brain in the way of all beards and shadows. It is too difficult to teach

Thinking of this, Chen Nian's heart suddenly moved.

What if?

During this period in 2010, brain-computer technology has already had preliminary research results. Just last month, Arizona State University announced that they had successfully used brain-computer technology to allow a baboon to complete a game without contact. Bricks" game.

In other words, the soil for the development of brain-computer technology has been initially prepared.

How about just working hard in this field?

If it succeeds, even if the nuclear fusion project cannot be applied, the role it can play in the future will definitely be extremely important.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian silently unfolded the system interface, and tried several different types of brain-computer excuse technology that he had come into contact with one by one.

First of all, the simplest is of course the direction of motion control that is currently being studied, that is, to realize the control of external devices through the calculation of brain waves.

This technology only needs 60 source points, even if it is in the complete form after matching the data package, it only needs 410 source points.

——

But here comes the problem, this thing doesn't match Chen Nian's needs.

What he wants is a brain-computer interface similar to an external memory that can directly transmit information in both directions, just like the system he owns.

As soon as the information was entered, a series of question marks directly blinded his eyes.

This also means that the technology of two-way transmission of information is not possible at all in the current environment.

——

It was exactly the same as when I first checked it years ago.

Chen Nian could not help but sigh.

After all, it is a technology that can fundamentally change the direction of human evolution. It would be nice if it were that easy.

So he opened his mouth and said:

"Then set up a technical team for me first."

"Personnel don't have to be experienced, but they must be capable and capable of learning."

"Don't worry, your request will definitely be met."

Chen Guo nodded happily, and after a while, he said again:

"In two days, the controllable nuclear fusion exchange conference we organized will start. Why don't you go directly to the conference and see if you have a chance to pick one?"

"You don't have to show your face, just watch the whole process."

Exchange meeting?

Chen Nian pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

then go for it.

I just took this opportunity to see if I can get a wave of wool.

In a few days, Shanghai.

This is the first time Chen Nian has participated in such a public meeting, and there is no doubt that he still feels a little fresh.

In fact, this is also a small attempt by the authorities --- a rehearsal for the further relaxation of Chen Nian's confidentiality requirements and the work that needs to be done after his information is made public.

Although the identity, appearance and certificates are fake, all security work is real, and Chen Nian's sense of participation as an academic leader is real.

He was standing in the spacious hall. Representatives from various countries had basically entered the arena. Scholars who were familiar or unfamiliar took advantage of the fact that the report meeting had not yet started, and each stood in the open space for a brief social interaction.

The content of their chat may have nothing to do with technology, but in fact, this is also an important part of this kind of report.

As long as you can get in touch with other people, it will come in handy one day.

Of course, Chen Nian was not interested in this at all, but he was willing to observe other people's reactions.

Moreover, most of the time, he can tell the academic bastards hidden in a group of scholars at a glance, and he also silently marked them with a cross in his heart.

Seeing that the first report meeting was about to start, Chen Nian casually found a seat in the back row and sat down, and began to look through the schedule that had been sent out a long time ago.

The first report was not made by personnel from Huaxia—in fact, according to the agenda, there would be no reports from scholars from Huaxia until the last day of the meeting.

Before that, all the arrangements were made by scholars from other countries.

It was easy for Chen Nian to understand that the finale was at the end, but he was a little confused about the content of this report.

Because the scholars on the stage are talking about plasma detection, the core is "how to track the plasma 'spot' turbulent region".

In fact, this topic cannot be said to be useless, because the so-called spots determine the interaction relationship between the heat of the plasma and the particles inside the tokamak. To some extent, the optimization of the turbulent region can reduce the first wall The pressure increases the durability of the first wall.

But the problem is that the research subject of this scholar is not to explore how to restrain turbulent flow, but to try to establish more advanced observation equipment and more complex algorithms to track the movement process of plasmoids.

More sensitive spectroscopy and tomography equipment, stronger artificial intelligence algorithms, and more advanced plasma diagnostic technology.

Words are nice and appear advanced, but what's the use?

You have to create the plasma first and maintain its stability.

After hearing half of it, Chen Nian lost interest. He looked through the scholar's information, and he found the problem.

This person is a researcher of the Tri-alpha company, behind which is not an official research institution, but the famous Goldman Sachs and Google.

To put it bluntly, this is a commercial company controlled by capital.

Therefore, compared with other institutions that are dedicated to research, this company is more inclined to pursue technologies that are fast and easy to produce results, and the plasma detection technology in large nuclear fusion projects is a very good target .

——

What's more, with Google as a technical support, they are really good at this aspect of content.

After figuring out the reason, Chen Nian didn't bother to listen anymore, so he just leaned on the chair and rested without listening.

However, his actions aroused the interest of a white man not far away. He glanced at Chen Nian several times, and finally sat down, then patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Hey, sir, you don't think this report is interesting, do you?"

Chen Nian sat up straight quickly, glanced left and right subconsciously, and then looked at the man approaching.

——

This brother probably didn't know it yet, but in those few seconds, some security personnel probably had their hands on the trigger.

"It's really boring. Plasma turbulence detection is not the core problem we are facing now."

Chen Nian thought over his words and answered briefly.

"Of course not. They just use their fields of expertise to write papers in order to get more investment."

The man deliberately lowered his voice, and then continued:

"You know, Tri-alpha is a commercial company, which is different from your various research institutions in China."

"This company has been hijacked too badly by capital, and they are all chasing short-term interests."

"To be honest, why do they need to engage in nuclear fusion? Anyway, it's all for making money, so why not think about how to make the ranking of advertisements on the webpage more scientific"

The man's tone was full of sarcasm, which made Chen Nian curious.

In fact, although I don't like it myself, Tri-alpha's reputation in the outside world is still very good.

Especially some people who don't believe in the official will always regard such a company as a lone hero to save the world, including in the eyes of a small number of scholars, Tri-alpha's research topics also have their unique significance.

Therefore, meeting such a white man who slanders Tri-alpha without pressure is really a small probability event.

So, Chen Nian smiled and asked:

"But they've got a lot of fame lately, haven't they?"

"It was nothing more than a dirty trick by Goldman Sachs to inflate the company's market capitalization — and U.S. officials were involved."

"You know, the economy of this country is about to fail, and the people need some stimulants."

"In comparison, I'm still more optimistic about you."

"There has never been any big news, but quietly solved the problem of room temperature superconductivity. In fact, this is the only purpose of my participation in this conference."

"All I care about is the last day, and other content is not even an appetizer for me."

Chen Nian nodded slightly. In fact, this was also what most people thought.

But to say it so unscrupulously, it is more or less flattering in front of him.

"So, what is your field of work?"

Chen Nian asked.

"I. Ring to the symmetry breaking aspect."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Nian couldn't help laughing.

No wonder this kid has so much resentment towards Tri-Alpha.

Dare to believe that he is the one who is really trying to solve the turbulence problem.

Can he not be angry when he works hard to do experiments and compile data, but others brush aside lightly and steal the limelight?
