Chapter 527: High Level Values Your Opinion

In November 1985, United States Air Force One arrived in Geneva when the then President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, met with Sue. Mikhail Goh, the new leader of the Union Negotiations on nuclear disarmament have begun, Mr. Rbajov.

Against the backdrop of the iron curtain, this “stove-side meeting” was then widely viewed by the outside world as an opportunity to break the ice of the cold war.

However, Reagan and Gov. The first meeting in Rubačov did not make the desired progress. The two sides fought each other around the “Strategic Defense Plan” and the "Star Wars Plan," just like "Man." The debate over ”rights" and “regional issues" continued, and the meeting was once on the verge of dissipation.

At the end of the meeting, at approximately 5 a.m., the parties finally agreed to issue a joint statement containing no real commitments.

It was at the end of the statement, almost in the footnote, that the two supreme leaders added an unequivocal pledge that the two countries would develop a new energy source “in the common interest of all mankind”.

And that's where the ITER program started.

So, that joke that got America out of group...

Kleber himself knows that this is not possible.

Even though the United States has never completed the 25 per cent it promised (only 9 per cent paid), ITER itself is a politically dependent scientific project.

Normally, research on controllable nuclear fusion can serve as an “island” far from politics.

But all premise is based on no one knowing how far into the future there is.

Thinking about this from a rational perspective, if he were to choose a partner between American research institutions and Professor Lu, he would undoubtedly choose the latter, which had already achieved significant results in the field of research.

Unfortunately, however, as a scientist, he had no say in the matter.

Even the head of the Heimholtz Federation standing next to him. The Chair, too, has no say.

If the United States pressured ITER organizations through the European Union to use intellectual property as a pretext, it would almost certainly kick China out, just like the original Galileo plan.

Looking at Professor Miller, who turned around and left, a glimmer of concern appeared on Kleber's face.

Technically, this is not something he should consider.

But if what he's worried about does happen, maybe ITER will face a breakdown.

After all, from the beginning, the organization was not so solid, and everyone was dreaming together in the same bed.

No one really leads the hope of solving the energy problem to the controllable fusion energy yet, but now even sitting in a cafe downtown, he can hear the guys at Gryffswald talking about solving the problems that lie ahead of the controllable fusion technology.

It is hard to say whether that light at the foot of Zijinshan ignites hope for future energy or extinguishes the last hint of flame on its body.

If they don't have any hope from the start, maybe they can go further?

……

Knocking on the office door was a man in his early thirties who looked a little thin.

According to his own introduction, his name is He Mingxuan and he is the secretary of Director Lu, a handful of the Energy Authority.

In the past, when I went to Beijing, the Ark saw him once, but he just didn't speak.

The Ark was kind enough to invite him in to sit down, even though he didn't know what he was up to.

Sitting next to Principal Xu, opposite the ark, He Mingxuan said sincerely: “I was going to visit you at Zhongshan International, and you weren't there. I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly. ”

“Nothing, don't be so polite, I'm on vacation for two days anyway, not very busy.” Looking at Secretary He sitting across the street, the ark said, “And I wonder, what made you so anxious? ”

Noting Secretary He's gaze, Principal Xu laughed and put down the cup of tea in his hand.

“Looks like you two have something important to talk about, so I won't be bothering you here. ”

He himself had been involved on several occasions in major national scientific research projects, many of which dealt with sensitive topics in the field of information security. It doesn't matter what you listen to, what you shouldn't listen to, he can still tell the difference.

After that, the old man stood up and let himself out of his office and walked out the door.

Looking at the office door closed, Secretary He took a deep breath and changed his serious expression, opening the door to the mountains and saying: "The United States is planning to kick us out of ITER. ”

Hearing this sudden news, the ark stunned slightly and frowned: “… Is the news reliable? ”

Secretary He nodded: "The credibility of the message is more than 90%. In fact, they already have the seedlings to do so. ”

Heard here, the brows of the ark can't help but float in a thick colour.

This is definitely not good news for him.

Although the STAR-2 project is similar to the original CFTER project in China and is not part of the ITER programme, national research institutions have benefited more or less from ITER's large pot of rice.

If China were to withdraw from ITER, not only would it mean that tens of billions of “access fees” previously paid and subsequent investments would have drifted, but the exchange of visits between the Domestic Controlled Nuclear Fusion Institute and foreign research institutes in the name of ITER would have been largely disrupted.

In addition to research losses, orders worth billions of dollars for which Chinese enterprises are responsible will also be at risk of being replaced by other member States.

Diplomatic matters were not well understood, but from a scientific standpoint alone, it was undoubtedly a serious blow.

The Ark frowned: "… What makes America do this? ”

“The reason is naturally intellectual property rights. At the ITER Council, the experts appointed by the US Foreign Ministry questioned us, believing that we had concealed the results of our research while receiving the technology, contrary to the spirit of the ITER agreement…" Secretary He's face showed a bitter smile, "of course, you can take it as a reason not to need it at all. ”

Yes, there is no reason at all.

After listening to him, the ship shook its head despite understanding the meaning.

“This is an irrational farce, and we have done our duty to disclose the progress of research on controllable fusion projects, and we have no obligation to disclose more. If the master computer in the STAR device uses the INTER chip, can I ask them to disclose their chip technology? ”

Secretary He silently pulled the notebook out of his pocket and wrote it down.

Looking at him taking notes, the ark stunned slightly, "What are you taking notes for? ”

“I think you said it well," Secretary He laughed helplessly, "At least… we can say this when responding in the diplomatic arena. ”

Though, reason never works.

After a moment of indulgence, the ark asked, "What specific request did they make? ”

Secretary He: "They requested that an academic mission composed of ITER member States be sent to the STAR Astronomy Institute to participate in the study. It also requires our company to open up the latest production process for SG-1 superconductor coils, full technical details of the modified STAR unit, and the most critical control plan. ”

Hearing that, the ark was caught in contemplation.

For the time being, the SG-1 material itself is a public patent. The SG-1 wire is also a product of foreign export. Only the production process developed by Baosheng Group with the assistance of Jinling Institute of Higher Studies is kept confidential.

No matter what the decision of the State, no matter how public it is, it has nothing to do with the Ark.

But the problem with control schemes is enormous.

The control plan that Kim Dae Software Institute came up with couldn't be better than the spiral 7-X lab.

The STAR device is capable of plasma restraint for more than an hour, half thanks to the SG-1 superconducting material, and the other half to the small egg.

In short, it is impossible for him to have public control of the programme.

Not to mention the fact that such a request is in itself an irrational farce.

Looking at the unspoken ark, Secretary He asked seriously: "This is a tricky matter. After hearing the news, we had a meeting for two days in a row, but there was still no good result. The top management attaches great importance to your opinions, and if it weren't for his inability to walk away, Director Lu would have intended to visit you personally in Jinling. ”

“What do you think… we should do now? ”
