Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The meeting after the experiment lasted until evening.

The technical details of the Liquid Lithium Neutron Recovery System were discussed in detail with other researchers at the Institute.

Although a specific proposal had not yet been prepared, conclusions had been reached at the meeting on the feasibility of the technology route and on the broad framework within which the idea of technology could be achieved.

Next, you just need to summarize the minutes of the meeting, consolidate all the issues, and have two more discussion sessions, and you can basically come up with a relatively complete plan.

The next meeting was scheduled to take place three days later, and for the next three days, the Ark gave researchers a short holiday at the Institute.

First, we haven't had much rest in the year, we need time to accompany our family or girlfriends, and second, the neutron beam generated by the fusion reaction caused extensive irradiation damage to the first wall material, not only smashing austenitic steel as a structural material into a hundred pores, but also forming a layer of plush metal debris on the surface.

I have to say, this is an interesting phenomenon.

Although no one can understand why this is happening.

Even the Noble Prize man on the ark could not come up with a suitable theory to explain, only a preliminary guess could be that the surface material could be torn due to thermal stress, and as for the exact reason, perhaps only the plasma in the imitator itself would be clear.

The whole abandoned ark of austenitic steel has been intended and is not intended to be studied in depth.

In short, because the equipment needs to be serviced, the next experiment will have to wait at least a month.

Back home, it was almost dark.

As the ark opened its doors and walked into the doorway, a fleeting four-wing drone flew in.

“Master! Welcome back!”

The boat couldn't help but smile at the little guy who stopped and swayed in front of him.

I really miss this drone named "Little Guy," a gift that the crew gave him when he was advisor at the Princeton Drone Club.

Later, when he brought it home, he took the time to simply modify it and threw it to Ai for use.

Em really likes this “new toy" that can fly around. At its central request, the ark installed speakers for it, replaced the motor, and installed four pairs of short, stiff claws on the chassis.

With this magically modified "little guy" and other smart home devices, including sweeping robots, Em can help throw away garbage and clean the room in addition to helping him look after the house.

Of course, although it has been given the authority to use these equipment, the Ark also imposes considerable restrictions on the scope of its activities and on its code of conduct.

For example, you can only operate in Zhongshan International's neighborhood, you can't fly into someone else's yard, you can't move fragile goods, etc.

Em was strictly obedient to his orders. After all, it is essentially a procedure, regardless of whether it is intelligent or not, and his obedience is something written into the core code.

“That one, master, can I ask you something? ”

I put on my slippers and walked up to the ark in the living room and said, “What is it? ”

Wandering around the side of the ark, Em continued.

“Can you put an LED screen on my little plane? Speaking of which, it always feels strange to speak in the voice of another woman, I prefer to communicate more directly. (shy)”

Ark: …

What the hell is that other woman's voice? Isn't that Google voice? If you don't like it, you can change it to a male voice.

Also, what is the new operation of reading out the brackets with voice, in order to highlight that the emotional system becomes richer after the upgrade?

I always felt that his little Egg had gone further and further in a strange direction...

Ark: “I refuse. ”

Em: “Why? (crying)”

The boat sighed as he watched the little guy wandering around there.

Is that a question?

Because it always feels like trouble.

Besides, he doesn't know what to look like when he thinks about this guy flying around the house all day long with this facial expression or facial expressions.

In short, there was no benefit in burdening himself with such things, which he would never do.

Em: “Can you give me an arm? I can do it myself... (grievance)”

Upon hearing this irrational request, the ark couldn't help but vomit: “You just let me build you a Gundam. Do you think I'm Tinker Bell or Robot Cat? ”

Upon hearing this, the drone stopped there and Em was silent for a while.

The Ark speculated that most of this guy was going to find out what Tinker Bell was, and most of this time he had downloaded a full set on his server and even started “scanning” it.

Shaking his head, the ark ignored it and turned around and took a bath in the bathroom.

He changed his pajamas, went to the kitchen ark and made himself a cup of coffee, then went upstairs to the study and sat in front of the computer and browsed the web.

During this time, because of his busy research work, he didn't have much access to the Internet. He just heard from other researchers in the institute that the paper they published in Science had succeeded in attracting a wave of eyes around the world, and his name seemed to have been searched again.

Speaking of which, ever since he was awarded the Nobel Prize, he has paid little attention to his news and received few interviews with journalists.

However, interest in the media at home and abroad does not seem to have diminished.

Especially when he comes up with something new.

Simply watching a few stories, the ark raised its cup and sipped coffee.

Domestic reports of controllable fusion are basically 60 minutes away from the STAR device and its leading world. Zhou Shengfu didn't jump out to say anything. He chose to clamp his tail as a person. He didn't know if it was the bottom gas of speech or what he said, but nobody reported it.

In addition, the main focus of the Ark is international, as opposed to domestic news.

The success of STAR devices will certainly boost confidence in the entire field of controllable nuclear fusion and will also stimulate sensitive nerves in some people. What he wants to know now is how his peers reacted to this.

Just then, a piece of news suddenly caught his attention.

That's a CNN news video.

Standing at the press conference, United States Secretary of Energy Perry, faced with the footage of a journalist, delivered a speech on recent high-profile controlled fusion technologies, while responding to rumours of long-standing United States intentions to withdraw from ITER.

“With regard to future energy research, the position of the United States remains unchanged. ”

“… We have invested tens of billions of dollars in fusion energy research projects, and our research into controllable fusion technologies has been at the forefront of the world since the 1950s. ”

“I must reiterate here that the United States has no plans to withdraw from ITER, at least I have not seen any documents on my desk in this regard. ”

“We will work more closely with our allies on fusion energy research and do our best to increase the impact of our research institutions in this area. ”

“If we are optimistic, we will complete the construction of the controllable fusion demonstration reactor by 2030 and commercialize the controllable fusion technology by 2050! ”

“We will accomplish what we have started and we will fulfil our commitments to our partner countries…”

Looking at the Secretary of Energy speaking in the video, the ark's index finger gently rubbed against the mouse, if you think about it.

“… the Americans seem to be in a hurry. ”

He can write to the relevant authorities, and so can others.

And compared to the broad prospects for controlled nuclear fusion, China (or Russia) has gained a technological advantage that is more likely to stimulate the Congressional Budget Committee to pay for it.

As he saw.

The race for controlled nuclear fusion, for the future, has begun.

In the future, I'm afraid it's not just engines, aerospace, nuclear engineering, and so on. Even academics in controllable fusion are probably not easy to apply for a visa...
