Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Saint Paule Durants, France, with a little rain in the sky.

This small southern town, which is often not disturbed by the outside world, is now gathering sights from all over the world.

Soon, the ITER Council will meet in closed session at the end of the month and will meet at ITER headquarters.

At this meeting, the United States will issue a final inquiry as to whether the Chinese side is complying with the ITER Contract Technology Sharing Agreement.

If the meeting continues to fail to achieve a satisfactory outcome, the ITER Council will initiate a vote at the meeting and eventually decide on the stay of the State of China in the organization.

In the course of more than a month, there have been many speculations about the choice of Chinese representatives.

Whatever the speculation, however, does not seem to favour a consensus between the parties on this issue.

Today, this rainy weather seems to herald this meeting from the beginning and is doomed not to sail smoothly to the end.

Sitting at the table of representatives of China, Deputy Director Rosenyuan, who was entrusted with full responsibility for the meeting by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, looked at the table below.

It's 9: 30.

The meeting will begin in 30 minutes.

Not far away, American delegate Adam Cohen is having a pleasant exchange of views with the European Union delegate, and from time to time he turns to this side with good intentions.

Clearly, they have reached consensus outside the Conference.

The expression on his face was still the light look of the clouds, but in his heart he sighed silently.

Is able to drag…

He's done his best.

Half an hour soon passed, and the ITER chairman announced the start of the meeting, as well as the agenda for today's meeting.

In addition to the issue of whether China had complied with the ITER agreement, specific rules on changes in the technical route of giant controllable fusion devices would be discussed at the meeting.

That is, parts of the components that countries undertake in giant Tokamak installations.

As the President read out the agenda of the meeting, the representative of the United States, Adam Cohen, took the lead.

“With regard to one of the principles of controllable fusion technology sharing in the ITER Agreement, we would like to reiterate our own position here. ”

“We believe that the Chinese side, while accepting ITER technology, has not fulfilled its international obligations under the ITER organization. ”

“We have been debating this issue for a long enough time, and today is probably our last meeting to discuss it. If you continue to refuse to comply with this obligation, we will apply to the Board to initiate an arbitration vote on the withdrawal of Chinese personnel from ITER…”

As soon as Cohen's voice went down, there was a disturbing noise in the conference room.

Although most people had guessed the scene before, participants in this room did not expect the representative of the United States to express the intent of the threat so bluntly at the beginning of the topic.

If you don't accept, I'll vote to kick you out.

This does not appear to leave any room for negotiation at all for the representatives of China.

The Director-General, sitting at the table, said thoughtfully, on his island.

“It seems that my earlier assumptions are still incorrect. ”

The Japanese sitting next to him represented Ishida Kyung with a slight glance, “What guess? ”

“I have always believed that the United States wanted to put pressure on China through intellectual property issues, forcing them to disclose a series of unpublished technologies, including superconducting magnets, plasma control programs, etc., but I had no idea that they had decided from the outset to just let the Chinese out. ”

Qingyi Ishida frowned: “But what good is this for Americans? ”

The island looked at him and said seriously: "Ishida-kun, the so-called benefits are not necessarily what you get, or what you can keep your opponent from getting. ”

“Really...”

There was a thoughtful look on Ishida Kyung's face.

So there doesn't seem to be anything wrong...

But is it going to be so smooth? By simply kicking out China, they can lag behind the world in controllable fusion research.

He always thought it wasn't that simple...

After all, he has heard, the chief designer of China's astral imitation project, but the ark that has created countless miracles...

Listening to the various voices in his ears, Rosenyuan sat on the table with his arms in his arms, responding without expression to Adam Kohner's aggressive gaze.

He reached for the microphone when the ITER conference organizer indicated that he could begin his speech.

At this point, however, the satellite phone in his pocket shook up quite inappropriately.

Feeling the vibration in his pocket, Rosenyuan frowned slightly, but without any hesitation, he reached out and removed the phone.

After all, there are only a few people who can call him at this time...

“Hello?”

“…” silently listened to the narrative at the end of the telephone of the listener, the moment he heard a certain sentence, Rosenwon's eyebrows suddenly jumped.

took a deep breath and he whispered.

“… OK, I get it. ”

Another delegate sitting next to him took a peek at him.

Although it was just an exchange of two sentences, it was always felt that the two sentences before and after, Director Luo's tone was quite different.

Patience awaits the end of the call, and Adam Cohen looks at Rosenyuan with a playful look at putting the phone down.

“Do you have anything else to say? ”

He shoved the hung up phone back into the inner pocket of his suit, and Rosenfeld glanced at him expressionlessly.

When he saw the look on his face, Rosenyuan suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

When he saw the smile on Hua Fang's face, Cohen stunned slightly, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

Helms, sitting in the United States delegation, similarly frowned and wondered why the Chinese nation could laugh.

“Excuse me,” cleared his voice, Luo Zhiyuan converged that slightly unscrupulous laugh, holding his hands against the table, slowly stood up, “The ancient Chinese national phrase, if you want to add sin, why don't you say something. We have nothing to say...”

Unexpected answer, but Cohen wasn't surprised.

In his expectations, the representative of China might have made some arguments on the issue, and he would have responded on his side, article by article, but no matter how heated the controversy, the end result would remain unchanged.

Cleared his voice, and just as Cohen was about to enter the next process and vote, Rosenyuan, who had not yet sat down, continued to speak, blocking his words from climbing to his mouth.

“… Starting a month ago, we have disclosed the necessary data in an open and responsible manner, in accordance with the ITER agreement, yet we have been disappointed by your unreasonable and far-fetched demands on this issue, as well as your unjustified behaviour. ”

“In conditions of equality and mutual trust, we are willing to cooperate openly. But our answer to the unjustified demands, no matter how many times, remains no. ”

“In that case, we will not waste your time. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Zhenyuan took care of his collar and exchanged his eyes with several other Chinese representatives, then looked back at the meeting room and said not slowly.

“I declare on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

“From now on, China officially withdraws from the ITER Agreement! ”

As the sounds of the throwing fell, the whole venue was silent and horrible.

Looking around the hall, Rosenwon's gaze finally stopped on Adam Cohen's face, meaning profoundly.

“Save it for yourselves. ”

“Goodbye. ”

Go ahead, he packed up what was on the table and turned to the door of the conference room.

Looking at the Chinese delegates who rose and left, the chairman of ITER's board looked stunned and didn't know what to say.

The same goes for Adam Cohen, the whole person standing there, probably only three question marks to tell about the look on his face at the moment.

Originally, according to the process, they should have invited Chinese delegates out of the meeting site by voting, but they didn't expect the voting session to arrive, but they left themselves.

The unrest spread in the conference room.

Nearly all faces, not just those of the President and the representative of the United States, were filled with stunned expressions.

Looking at that empty seat, Helms, somehow sitting in the United States delegation, somehow panicked.

He should be happy right now.

After all, kicking China out of the ITER organization is exactly what the White House and the CIA expect, and what he expects.

Is it...

Has China completed key technologies for controllable fusion?

Suddenly a terrible possibility came to mind, but soon he shook his head and drove this impractical idea out of his mind.

No, this is not possible...

Anyway, it's a little too soon.

Meanwhile, looking at the messy meeting scene, the conference secretary sitting next to the ITER board chairman lowered his voice and asked quietly.

“Mr. Chairman… will this go on? ”

The chairman was silent for a while and said.

“… let the next agenda begin. ”

In any case, the work to be done should continue.

In the agenda that follows, they will also discuss the issue of mega-controlled nuclear fusion devices.

Rather, it is a more exciting subject.

But I don't know why, but he can't get excited at this moment...
