Chapter 295 Why Did They Stand Still This Time? (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

Since Shan Xing turned on the amplifier when he made the call, everyone in the conference room heard what he and Dean Fang said clearly.

Everyone's expressions were surprisingly similar at this moment.

They were confused at first, and after a few seconds, their eyes gradually turned into disbelief.

Sixty-two minutes? !

What is this concept?

The test machine modified from the old device actually reached 62 minutes!

You wouldn’t dare to write a fantasy like this, right?

Zheng Yang took a breath and asked: "Dean Fang, this is no joke. Are you sure it's sixty-two minutes?"

Dean Fang was probably doubted and didn't know how to prove it. He said anxiously: "It's absolutely true. You'd better come here and have a look. We can't explain it clearly in just a few sentences."

The people in the conference room looked at each other and knew that this would be impossible without witnessing it with their own eyes.

This is a miracle worth writing about in human history!

Now that this miracle has happened in China, they can't find any reason to refuse this opportunity.

"Xiao Li, go and prepare a special plane to fly to the southwest immediately!"

"Is the chief going to stop working now?" the financial expert said, glaring.

Lao Zhou waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it after we get there. By the way, you should go too."

After a brief blank in his mind, the financial expert who never went out in the field quickly found out why he wanted to go too.

Who made him want to block the research and development funds for the nuclear fusion project just now!

The regretful financial expert could only follow everyone on the special plane to the southwest.

When they arrived at the Institute of Physics, Dean Fang had already been notified and came out to pick them up.

"Dean Fang, where is Worker Luo?"

Dean Fang said with a complicated look: "Worker Luo doesn't seem very happy."

Lao Zhou paused and became confused: "Why is he unhappy? You guys have set a record for the duration of the nuclear fusion reaction, and he is still not happy?"

Dean Fang hesitated for a few moments, unable to come up with a reason, so he could only say: "Only you, Chief Zhou, can ask about this. We have asked before, but Mr. Luo seemed to be thinking about something and ignored us."

Lao Zhouxu raised his eyes, wondering if Dean Fang didn't dare to offend Luo Yao, so he didn't dare to ask?

Okay, as a leader you have to resist everything.

Lao Zhou signaled for Dean Fang to lead the way quickly.

After arriving at the laboratory, everyone saw Luo Yao in a daze.

"Gong Luo, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?" Lao Zhou asked anxiously because he was worried that Luo Yao would get confused while doing the experiment.

When Luo Yao was in a trance, he heard someone calling him. After reacting, he said: "I was thinking about how to prevent the material of the first wall from being corroded."

"After passing through the plasma, helium 3 atoms will escape and be injected on the surface of the first wall. The helium 3 used in our experiment was emitted by an atomic gun with an intensity increased to 2.5t. These high-energy particles will reach the first wall when they reach the first wall. Finally, the heat load on the first wall has long exceeded the expected value.”

"I won't be able to hold on until three minutes."

"By improving the control of the device, we were able to last for sixty-two minutes on the first wall."

"The entire reaction can only be terminated at this point in time."

Can it only be terminated at this point in time?

Isn’t this enough?

Everyone looked at Luo Yao with different expressions, always feeling that they were out of ideas.

The number of sixty-two minutes is enough to change the layout of the entire nuclear fusion industry. When they encounter the same situation, they will not be able to think so calmly about the issue of the first wall material!

"Gong Luo, do you still think sixty-two minutes is not enough?" a researcher asked.

Luo Yao nodded, "We need longer time. We need to make the reaction last longer. This is our goal. Only in this way can we ensure the commercial application of nuclear fusion technology."

"But sixty-two minutes is already a huge breakthrough!" Financial experts couldn't help but say, "We should celebrate this achievement."

"Celebrate? We don't have time to celebrate now. What we have to think about is the next step. We have to go further until we reach the ultimate goal."

After speaking, Luo Yao turned to look at the researcher aside and said: "I am going to conduct another experiment. Add 1% helium 3 to the two-component plasma. I want to record the relevant data again."

An hour later, the experiment started. The plasma in the device began to operate, and various parameters increased steadily. The researchers stared at the monitoring screen and observed the changes in the experimental data.

Lao Zhou and other leaders stared closely at the large screen in front of the device, which displayed experimental data.

As the curve on the screen beats, the hearts of Lao Zhou and others also rose and fell.

Ten seconds later, the plasma in the experimental device began to show a stable state, and various parameters also tended to be stable. The researchers concentrated on recording the experimental data, and every second seemed particularly precious.

Shan Xing clenched his hands nervously and watched the changes in the data without daring to breathe.

Suddenly, he let out a cry of surprise: "Look here! The temperature of the plasma begins to gradually rise, and the reaction duration also exceeds one minute!"

"This is so disrespectful to the experimental results of other countries!" Shan Xing couldn't hold back the excitement deep in his heart at this time, and his words became bold and bold.

"President Shan, watch your words." The corners of Zheng Yang's mouth did not turn down. He reminded Shan Xing while smiling.

"It's been ten minutes! What else are you paying attention to! Aren't you excited?"

Zheng Yang didn't answer, but his eyes began to heat up at this time.

After years of hard work, this time we finally have a big breakthrough!

From the end of the crane to the current record-breaking progress, Zheng Yang knows how hard it is.

In the past, they could not even build a tokamak device, so they bought old products that Big Brother had eliminated.

At that time, Zheng Yang could not imagine that one day they could reach unprecedented heights in the field of nuclear fusion!

In the blurred vision, the data on the display screen was rising with no regard for people's lives!

When the sixty-two minutes had just been reached, the huge device in front of them issued a harsh warning in the expectant eyes of everyone.

"No, the material on the first wall is about to erode. Stop the experiment immediately!" The experiment was stopped as the researcher shouted.

"Really! Chief! It's true! We actually achieved nuclear fusion for an hour!" The financial expert had already discarded her previous reserve. She had never witnessed the birth of scientific research results. At this moment, Only then did I have a concrete feeling for the word "scientific research"!

For a moment, cheers echoed throughout the laboratory.

"This is a huge breakthrough!" Lao Zhou was very excited, but he still didn't understand how their nuclear fusion technology reached the current level from the exploratory stage? !

It is equivalent to a half-year-old child who has just learned to crawl, but in the blink of an eye the child is running!

If it continues to develop, won’t the child have to go to heaven? !

"Dean Fang, what happened in this experiment? Why did it suddenly reach the level of 62 minutes?" While everyone was cheering, Lao Zhou called over Dean Fang to ask about the situation.

"In the early stage, Gong Luo designed a set of experiments through the NS equation, which allowed us to effectively observe the turbulence phenomenon of plasma. After going through tens of thousands of experiments, we collected enough data, and then we tried to feed it to the little moss .”

"Little Moss? Luo Gong's artificial intelligence?"

"Yes, that's her. Originally, we thought that Moss would be able to find out some of the laws of plasma turbulence based on these data. Unexpectedly, she directly predicted the instability of the plasma tearing mode."

"In other words, she can predict the internal tearing site of the plasma magnetic field about thirty seconds in advance. In this way, we don't have to wait until there is a real problem with the magnetic field before stopping the experiment. Thirty seconds before the problem occurs, When the time comes, the little moss will sound the alarm.”

"We improved the magnetic field based on the alarm of the little moss, and the experiment we are doing now is to collect data on the corrosion of the first wall."

"Luogong intends to optimize the entire device and provide response time."

Lao Zhou nodded slowly, he finally knew why they succeeded!

Human wisdom and artificial intelligence collide at this moment and create sparks!

Now, all he has to do is fully support this group of people!

"Whatever you are lacking at the moment, make a list and we will satisfy you in all aspects."

"In addition, the news of the experimental results is completely blocked."

Dean Fang originally wanted to release the news to make the Chinese people excited, but after Lao Zhou gave such an order, he did not dare to release the news to the outside world.

"Then when will the experimental results be announced?"

"Wait until the reactor site selection is completed."

Dean Fang was confused. Their verification experiment was not over yet, so why did they rush to the reactor?

"Chief, is it too early to talk about reactor site selection now?"

Lao Zhou clasped his hands behind his back and turned his eyes to Luo Yao who was busy not far away: "It's getting late. If you wait until you finish here to select a site, the progress will be slow."

Shan Xing exhaled after learning that the experimental results would be temporarily blocked.

Zheng Yang saw his strange behavior and asked curiously: "Why do you feel so relieved?"

Shan Xing said with a complicated face at this time: "Just last month, Noah, the chairman of ITER, suspected that our nuclear fusion technology had a breakthrough, and then asked us to hand over the technology according to the agreement. I vowed to tell them at the time we do not have."

"As a result, this month, Luo Gong, together with human and artificial intelligence, completed a big job. How can I explain this to others?"

After Zheng Yang was silent for two or three seconds, he said, "President, don't worry. Your reputation in the future will probably be as good as Professor Zhang's. It's pretty good. You can stay in history in another form."

Shan Xing glared: "I'll give you this opportunity!"

Zheng Yang said without any hesitation: "I am also the dean of the Military Research Institute. Thanks to Gong Luo, I can already leave my name in history. I'll leave this opportunity to you!"

Shan Xing:......

A few days later, Dean Fang submitted the list compiled by Luo Yao.

In addition to the materials for the Tokamak experimental device, the list also includes superconducting materials.

After Lao Zhou sent people to learn about it, they learned that Luo Yao planned to improve the tokamak device. This time, he would use superconducting materials to build a spherical tokamak device.

According to the design, this device will improve the magnetic confinement performance of the traditional tokamak by about 10 times. In other words, a very small tokamak device can be used to achieve the power required for a successful reaction and achieve micro-nuclear fusion. ignition.

If the micro tokamak device experiment is successful, then the entire nuclear fusion application can not only be used commercially, but also in mobile equipment such as ship hulls, aircraft, and spaceships!

As for the research and development of the first wall, the list also provides clear funding requirements.

10 billion Chinese dollars!

This is not a small figure for the entire country of China, but Lao Zhou doesn't feel distressed at all at this moment!

Because he knows that once the first wall material is broken through, their nuclear fusion reaction time can reach a new level!

While China was preparing to enter a new stage of nuclear fusion, entrepreneurs on the other side couldn't help but started to take action.

They transferred the orders they could control to Mexican companies.

"Believe it or not, within three days, those Chinese people will panic."

A rare laugh came from the conference room of the Hexagon Building!

"It's time to show them some color. They haven't been out for so long. Do they really think we are Disney dolls?"

"I have communicated with Noah, the chairman of ITER, and he will take advantage of the situation and ask the Chinese to hand over the latest nuclear fusion technology."

"You said that if they really achieved results in nuclear fusion, would they tell us?"

"According to the chairman of their Science and Technology Committee, Shan Xing, they are still analyzing the plasma turbulence data. Unlike Professor Zhang, who specializes in deception, what this person says is still credible."

Another piece of evidence is that their famous scientist Luo Yao is very concerned about John Guo's technology, which shows that their experimental results have not yet reached the level of John Guo's JET laboratory. "

"Well, your analysis makes sense. I think we can take this opportunity to let Noah get relevant data."

"Next, just sit back and wait for their wails."

The Ugly people were very much looking forward to hearing the complaints and begging for mercy from the Chinese, but after waiting for three days, they found that the voices they imagined did not appear.

"What's going on? Aren't the Chinese people in a hurry? Their companies don't even have orders!"

The Ugly people who raised questions about their souls never figured it out. How come the Chinese people who usually still moan and groan have no sound coming out today?

While they were puzzled, Chinese companies did not panic.

"We have fewer orders, but Mexican factories have more orders. This is good, as we can pay less tariffs!"

"I don't know what people from the Chou Country think. They think that the factories in the Mo Country belong to the Mo Country? It's so silly and cute!"

"As long as there is money to be made, it doesn't matter which country it is produced in, as long as we can ship it!"

"Do these ugly people think that we have suffered a loss and don't know how to take precautions?"

"It's very possible that they treat us as the same as them!"

It turns out that Chinese enterprises are no longer just free to be slaughtered. They know that if they want to occupy the international market, their competitiveness will still be limited by official support alone. They must have multiple locations, multiple lines, and multi-faceted layouts in order to make small profits. money purpose.

When they realized that capital no longer favored them in order to save costs, they decided to invest abroad.

Anyway, making money outside is making money. If they change the production location of the product, they can pay less tariffs. Why not?

Therefore, while developing domestic factories, they are targeting the Mexican market, which offers high quality products at low prices and low labor costs.

When investing in the Mexican market, Chinese entrepreneurs just did it just in case, but they didn't expect that the Chinese would actually take this step to change the supply chain.

Fortunately, they were not afraid at all when they were prepared.

A few days later, Noah asked Lawrence, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, suspiciously: "Sir, didn't you say you would suppress them commercially? Why are there no responses now?"

Lawrence has been observing the data these days, and after discovering that Chinese companies have not responded, he couldn't sit still.

But in front of Noah, he had to pay attention to his identity.

"Why panic? Maybe they are still investigating. You prepare your own affairs first. It is true that the people who find them get the plasma turbulence data."

Noah nodded, still a little confused about the Ministry of Commerce's strategy, but he could only obey the order for the time being.

He knew what Lawrence said made sense. What was important now was to ensure that their plan went smoothly, and nothing else mattered!

After sending Noah away, Lawrence anxiously contacted the network surveillance department.

He was eager to know if there were any relevant discussions on the Chinese Internet, but the answer confused him again.

Only a small number of Chinese people participated in the discussion, but these people's discussions did not stir up much excitement.

Lawrence was stunned.

Isn't the other company usually the most nervous in this situation?

Why did they stand still this time?

Why are Chinese companies not speaking out now? Not even a statement condemning them?

Are Chinese companies able to sit still now?

Lawrence has more and more questions, but unfortunately, no one can answer his questions.

In order to understand the intentions of the Chinese people, Lawrence summoned people from the department.

"Maybe they are planning a better counterattack strategy." Someone speculated.

"I think with what they're doing, they're waiting for a better time," another added.

Lawrence frowned, the doubts in his heart getting deeper and deeper. He realized that now was not the time to relax his vigilance. The silence of Chinese enterprises might mean that they were brewing a bigger storm.

"We cannot take it lightly. We must remain vigilant and continue to monitor their movements closely." Lawrence finally decided not to take it lightly. After all, the Chinese are really cunning sometimes!

When he concluded that the Chinese were definitely planning a big move, NASA became very busy.

"Didn't you find something wrong with the life support system during the maintenance a few days ago?"

NASA ground staff said angrily.

The astronauts on the International Space Station are now in a panic. Problems with the life support system mean that the oxygen in the space station will gradually decrease.

They are eager to find a solution, but time waits for no one. Every minute is a countdown to their lives!

"Are backup life support systems available?"

"Report, the current problem is the backup system!"

NASA staff are going crazy.

"Then why are you just saying it now?!"

"We have reported this situation before during inspections, but you think it is not important. Have you forgotten? The maintenance team and two other John astronauts also participated in the maintenance of the life support system twice!" Astronaut John Tim couldn't help complaining.

Who is worse than them?

They were sent to repair various problems in the space station the week before, and they were given a surprise this week!

The life support system is actually unusable!

"What should we do now? The current air in the space station cannot support ten people to survive at the same time!" Tim asked anxiously.

"Now we can only hurry up and prepare to launch the spacecraft to pick up four of you!"

"What about the rest?"

NASA staff are in a dilemma. The spacecraft can only carry four people back at a time. What can they do?

"Wait, when are you launching?"

"It will take at least half a month to start preparations now."

"Half a month, are you crazy? We are all suffocating to death!"

NASA staff: "At present... there is a faster way."

Tim said nervously: "Speak quickly!"
