Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 470: Buy One Back

The senior management held several days of meetings, and during these days, the Ark was not idle, and under the guidance of Pan Academician, met with a number of domestic scholars engaged in controlled fusion direction research.

Strictly speaking, domestic universities do not have a controllable nuclear fusion profession.

Bulls conducting research in this field, most professors of plasma physics, or engineers in nuclear engineering.

Unlike Princeton, research on imitators is basically a void. At the PPPL Institute, the ship wanted to pull out a research team that could easily be done.

Now, however, he can only rely on Pam's connections in this field to find talent.

Of course, in addition to talent, there is a more critical issue that needs to be addressed.

Now that we have rice, the chef has prepared it, the only thing missing is a pan of fried vegetables.

Put a well-organized list in the hands of the Ark, and Pan Yard said, “You intend to do research on the star weapon, we don't have enough people and money, we need to do a star weapon first. This is more important than what you said. What are you gonna do about it? ”

There are only eight active imitators in the world, including the H1-Heliac from the University of Huawei in Australia. As for the legendary “first quasi-ring symmetrical star machine” in China, built jointly by China and Japan, the agreement was signed only last year, and the project will have to wait a few years for its landing.

China can wait, the world can wait, after all, controlled nuclear fusion itself is a centennial plan.

But the ark can't wait.

If the successful ignition of the "DEMO” demonstration reactor is not achieved by 2025, the task chain of "Light of Fusion” will fail. Although, according to the systematic Buddhist principle, there is no argument that he should spit out the experience already gained, the reward of eventually completing the task chain is undoubtedly goodbye to him.

Taking the list in the hands of Master Pan, the Ark thought about it and said, “Germany has a stalled imitator, the WEGA, which is a prototype of the Spiral 7X. We don't have to build one from beginning to end, we can get one straight back and then modify it on its original basis. ”

"Are you going to buy WEGA back? ”

The ark nodded, "You can't save on tuition if you want to get into the business. ”

After all, the Ark thought Pan Yard was paying dearly for the country. Even the decommissioned WEGA was not a small amount to buy.

In fact, however, Pan is not worried about money at all.

“It's not about tuition, are they willing to sell this stuff? ”

The ark shook its head: “It's hard to say, but we can talk about it. I had a bit of an affair with the scholars at the Maple Institute of Plasma Physics, and it shouldn't be a problem to convince them to sell old equipment they didn't need. ”

In fact, WEGA has been shut down since 13 years, and the focus of the Maple Institute of Plasma Physics has been entirely on the new Spiral 7-X. Convincing them to sell WEGA is still promising.

Paused for a moment, the ark continued.

“When things are arranged here, I will fly to Germany myself to try to talk about it. ”

When he heard this, Pan Changhong looked envious.

Networking resources, he doesn't have much contact with international academia, I really envy him.

At first, in order to fill the gap in domestic research on star imitations, the University of Chihua organized three study tours to the Australian National University starting in 2017, finally talking about cooperation, and finally bought a “small” home for $35 million.

It's called H1-Heliac.

Compared to the Germans, Australia's research on star imitators is clearly only at the bottom of the line. H1-Heliac, independently designed and assembled by the Australian National University, is also far from advanced.

If so, who would choose H1-Heliac, which was assembled by the Australian National University?

If the ship does have this road, it can buy back the WEGA, which Germany has shut down.

This alone can be a great success for China's controllable nuclear fusion cause.

……

On this return, the Ark brought two gifts to China.

One of them is the Nobel Prize, and the other, the big cake for controllable nuclear fusion.

Although the cake was still raw, everyone could only watch it, but he couldn't eat it, but he was confident to be the chef and brand the cake well.

For these two gifts of the Ark, China is also a peach newspaper Li, responding to the utmost importance.

After half a month of meeting discussions, the academics of both houses discussed and voted, and the project on research on imitation weapons was finally officially launched.

After consulting with the Ark, the project group was named “STAR”, parallel to the fusion reactor plan such as "EAST” Tokamak Control.

With regard to funding, the State has also provided considerable generosity, amounting to a billion dollars.

Considering that many of the equipment, including star mimicrys, needs to be imported, the unit of funding is naturally US $…

Southwest Institute of Physics.

Jia Liang couldn't help but snap his tongue when he learned about it.

“Billions of dollars, that's too much money for you. ”

While the level is parallel to the "EAST” project, several “EAST” projects are budgeted for in terms of funding.

Even if you won a Nobel Prize, it wouldn't be worth that much, would it?

Sitting in the middle of the office, Zhou Shengfu, who was reading the newspaper, did not look up and said emotionally.

“More money, that's what they're fighting for, we don't care. ”

That's the way it is, but it's impossible to say it without any impact.

Research on controllable nuclear fusion is itself a money-burning project, but State investment in this sector is not unlimited.

Although the expression on Zhou's face did not change much, Jia Liang could still tell that the old man was not very happy.

After all, all the research on controlled nuclear fusion in the country was his own choice.

Now suddenly a young man emerges, to stand next to him another mountain, to say that there is no dissatisfaction in his heart, that is impossible.

But the Nobel laureate's halo...

It's a little too shaky.

After guessing the old man's thoughts, Jia Liang went on to say, "You said that this Pam Academician, although the elder of our ITER cooperation group in China, was not alone in his credit, not to mention that he retired, and now you are the person in charge of our domestic controllable nuclear fusion project. ”

“If this ark is going to have a controlled nuclear fusion, instead of visiting you in Rongcheng, it's going to pull Pan Yard's flag and set up a stove, wouldn't it be a little too blind? ”

“Do your job. Are you worried about these things? ”

He lowered his voice and looked at Jia Liangcai, who was quick to shut his mouth and not speak, and Zhou went on without delay.

“He fucked him, we fucked us. After all, the copycat is not our specialty. If we can cooperate, we can't cooperate. That's our limited condition. Can he blame us? ”

When he heard this, Jia Liang suddenly laughed.

“Dean Zhou said yes, I understand! ”
