Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 508 Technical Consultations

For the Ark, what happened at the debriefing was just a little bit of an episode.

He did not follow up on the Tokamak study, nor did he naturally read the paper of the Karam Nuclear Fusion Research Center in advance.

He went mainly to the "technology presentation” part of the conference to attend the academic conference. But the first day of the meeting was a little early, so I went to a press office and sat down, so I had the scene.

After pointing out the errors in Professor Bottom's thesis, the Ark left the Reporting Room, and the time was almost up, slowly wandering into the technical showroom next to it.

The atmosphere here is lively in a different sense than the academic conferences that are taking place not far away.

What is shown here is not the results of research in the theoretical sense, but the visible technology.

And that's why it's not just scholars and researchers who are interested in what's happening here, but also entrepreneurs and investors who are interested in controllable fusion technologies.

While time is still far from the fusion of human civilization, this does not prevent imaginative people from turning their attention to this untapped new continent.

Interesting thing is, although the emergence of controlled nuclear fusion is likely to shake the interests of energy giants in most of the public's imagination, the research of controlled nuclear fusion by energy giants must be hateful, and we can't help but remove it from the cloud...

Yet the truth of the matter is that, contrary to the “reality” imagined by the public, many investors in commercial nuclear fusion companies are precisely those energy giants whose interests appear to be compromised.

The famous General Fusion Company, for example, is the lead Canadian oil company Cenovus. In addition to the ITER project and the support of the German Energy Agency, some of the research projects are funded by the French oil giant Daudal.

Of course, in addition to those oil giants, a number of well-paid internet listed companies are equally interested in the concept of controlled nuclear fusion, which sounds cool.

Like Google Invested Tri-Alpha.

Although the Ark felt personally that Trialpha was suspected of fraudulent investment, a pertinent assessment was that the private company had been able to build a fusion experiment heap in less than a year, and that even renowned Nobel laureate Burton Richter had been shocked by the glasses, at least to prove that those people were still there.

And Professor Guo Houyang, chief scientist and director of experimental operations at Tri-Alpha, is also a Chinese scholar who is quite impressive in the field of plasma physics. Although his name may not be so familiar, the bull was included in the World Celebrity Directory in 1996, and can be seen in the academic recognition of him.

Whatever the motivation, it is precisely because so many talented people enter the field and so much capital favours research in this area that this area has gradually moved from the cold of the original doorknob to the popular one.

Coincidentally, shortly after he walked in here, he saw Bendbauer chatting with him the day before yesterday at the cafe.

At this moment, the chairman and chief technical officer of Tri-Alpha is standing in front of a gray screen, showing scholars from other institutes and a small group of investors interested in controllable nuclear fusion, their C2-U fusion devices in PPT, and the world's leading "field reverse configuration (FRC)" devices, among others.

Though his enthusiasm stood on the stage, recalling what he and he had said the other day, the Ark always felt this enthusiastic expression was somewhat distorted.

“Life is dramatic. It's all about acting. ”

Shaking his head, the ark said nothing, briefly understood the technical content of the lower FRC unit, and then walked to the booth next to it.

At the same time, it wasn't just Tri-Alpha in the technical showroom, it was also the Baosheng group that travelled with the Ark.

Today's national enterprises are not, after all, those of decades ago, and even though such high-tech industries have special subsidies from the State, the marketing of their products remains a serious problem.

Otherwise, we will have to face the dilemma of de-producing.

At the booth applied to the organizers, Baosheng Group showed scholars from research institutions around the world the SG-1 wire they had developed in cooperation with the Golden Ring Institute of Higher Studies.

Although the Heimholtz Federation now has this technology, it is clear that the Baer Sheng Group has an advantage in terms of production costs and production scale. Even the Germans who had already switched technologies had to distribute a small number of orders to the Baosheng Group to alleviate their own capacity shortfalls.

In short, when this cross-sectional wire exhibition, which is only a few thousand nanometers in diameter, is in front of major research institutions, hardly anyone believes it to be true.

Until Chief Engineer Cao calmly operated the experimental equipment in front of everyone and showed them the thermal conductivity of the SG-1 wire to the opposite sky and the most critical superconductivity, the people around the booth widened their eyes and shouted out...

After the first day of the meeting, the ark was originally intended to go directly back to its room to rest.

As a result, Sun Manager insisted on buying guests, so a group of people found a nice looking Chinese restaurant in the nearby Chinatown, with a table in it.

On the dining table, Sun Chengwu, with a glass, stood up and looked at the ark.

“Professor Lu, thank you so much! ”

“This morning alone, we got at least $200 million in orders. ”

“Here's a toast to everything I say! ”

Even after a few hours, Sun Manager will not forget how shocked, surprised and unbelievable the faces of foreign experts were when Cao Guo showed their SG-1 wire technology in the morning.

As the manager of Baosheng Group, there is nothing more exciting than watching the companies you run in the front of the world...

I touched my cup with Manager Sun, and Ark laughed and said politely.

“You don't have to thank me, that's what you deserve. ”

The order of $200 million is already plentiful, and at the current exchange rate, it is close to RMB 1.4 billion.

Based on the cost of the current SG-1 wire, the Ark roughly estimated that a $200 million wire could be equipped with at least three small and medium-sized star converter outfield coils.

In the case of Tokamak, the demand may be slightly lower.

But because he didn't know much about Tokamak, he couldn't estimate an exact number.

“Where, without your skills, we cannot go this far alone today.” One bite killed the white wine in the glass, "said Sun Manager Red Glow,“ If Professor Lu has any good advice in the future, don't hesitate to teach! ”
