Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Throughout the year, the field of controllable nuclear fusion has been less calm.

Little things like sesame seeds in previous years were worth a press conference note from ITER, but the big news that followed this year was overwhelming for ITER's press spokesperson.

From the earliest plasma turbulence model to the completion of the one-hour magnetic constraint experiment on the STAR device to the questioning of the Chinese side by representatives of the United States at the ITER meeting, the Chinese side chose to withdraw from the ITER.

Throughout the year, the mood of practitioners in the entire controlled nuclear fusion industry has been as stimulus as riding a roller coaster.

And now, the news of China's withdrawal from the ITER project is still enthusiastic, and a message from Everyone's Daily once again sparked a collective vibration between the international plasma physics community and the controllable nuclear fusion industry.

Just on the first day of October, on the day of the Republic's birth, the State of China suddenly announced that the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project would move into the next and final phase.

In other words, the construction of demonstration reactors began at the Tian Wan nuclear power plant.

Once released, not only the international plasma physics community, but also the controllable nuclear fusion industry, caused an earthquake-like sensation around the world.

Demonstration heap!

No one ever thought that everything would come so suddenly.

BBC, the BBC, spearheaded the story.

In an interview with a BBC reporter, Bender Bauer, chairman of Trialpha USA, commented on the news.

“… if China becomes the first country to commercialize fusion technology, its economy and geography... The political advantage will be even more evident, and the presence in the Asia-Pacific region will expand at a rate that we cannot imagine. ”

“This is by no means alarming; this new technology, unlike all the inventions we have had in the past, is, in plain and easy to understand terms, the Holy Grail in the field of energy, which illuminates the future we cannot see. ”

“Of course, despite the gravity of the situation, the competition has only just begun and we are confident enough to go beyond them. Assuming, of course, that Congressional bureaucrats no longer invest in us…"

In addition to Bendbauer, BBC journalists contacted Professor Steven Caughley, Dean of the Christian College of Holy Communion at Oxford University, former Director of the Callum Fusion Centre in the UK and former Chief Executive Officer of the British Atomic Energy Agency.

In an interview, Professor Steven gave his own opinion on the departure of China.

“Although ITER has been discussing the withdrawal of China from the ITER international project team, no one would like to see them withdraw in this way. ”

Reporter: “What's the difference between the two? ”

Faced with the BBC lens, Steven Cauley pushed down and slowly said, “That's for sure. ”

“ITER initially had the lowest number of Chinese employees, but is now second only to the European Union. Not only that, they bear the third largest share of all Member States and are always able to meet their financial commitments…”

“Now, the handover of work is not being completed properly, and all Chinese employees have been forcibly evacuated, with less than one fifth choosing to remain. Not only that, but many critical projects have been stalled as a result. ”

“They chose to withdraw in this way, undoubtedly in return for the pressure exerted on them by the United States on the STAR device. And the bottom line that prompted them to do so was also largely the result of the STAR device. ”

“Countries have their own controllable fusion projects and their own technological reserves. ITER is not the only controllable fusion project under way, nor has it ever required other countries to disclose research unrelated to its scientific research projects. ”

“I must say that, at this point, forcing China to leave the ITER project is a foolish option, and it is also a foolish enough option to compete on this technology for the future. ”

“If China is no longer involved, the ITER project, which is severely overspent, may not continue. We can only now expect the United States to deliver on its promises and Korea, which is second only to the European Union, to pay more… but this is difficult from a realistic point of view. ”

Reporter: "Don't you like the future of the ITER organization? ”

Professor Steven: "I should say, I've never looked after it. Shutting down our Oxfordshire JET device to support the ITER program in Europe was a wrong decision from the start. Look where they're going to build the demonstration reactor. Kadalashe town near Marseilles. As soon as I heard they were planning to build that demonstration reactor in France, I knew it would probably end up screwed up. Sure enough, they haven't even built the house yet. ”

The reporter coughed up and asked, "Where do you think it would be more appropriate? ”

Steven didn't falsely think, “England, of course. ”

Reporter: "…”

……

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington.

A cool hairstyle president slammed a newspaper on his desk, spitting stars roaring.

“I want to know what the hell is going on! I wouldn't even know what was happening across the Pacific if someone hadn't reminded me to buy a newspaper on Twitter! ”

The newspaper that fell on the table was the latest issue of Everybody's Daily - Overseas Edition.

And the headlines of the news, which are the latest developments in the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project.

Ironically, the first channel through which he learned the news was not from his own intelligence network, but from the opponent's newspaper.

That bright red and eye-catching title, in his eyes, was particularly pungent.

From that line, he felt provocation from his opponent.

Opposite his desk are CIA Director Gina Haspell and CIA Controlled Fusion Intelligence Commissioner Helms.

Gina, with her arms in her arms, coughed softly and said, not slowly: "… Perhaps Mr. Helms can explain. ”

When the woman called her name, Helms shook her shoulder uncontrollably twice.

Gina Haspere.

If the CIA as a whole is the last person he wants to mess with, it's undoubtedly this old woman in her sixties.

In addition to the scandal that had made her famous for "Bloody Gina”, he had heard more about the name and about the term cruelty.

When Trump nominated him as the director of the CIA, domestic public opinion in the United States almost sparked a big wave...

Taking a deep breath, Helms spoke quickly and quickly.

“… it is our fault that we underestimate the determination of the Chinese State in controllable fusion research, which is likely to go further than we thought. ”

The President took a deep breath.

“If the demonstration stacks are built, I wonder how many years they have left to acquire this technology. ”

“I don't know," Helms had a bitter look on his face, "but at their speed, if they really got this technology, it wouldn't take long from demonstration heap to commercialization...”

There was silence in the office.

Neither the President nor the Director spoke, and Helms carefully mocked the psychological activity of the next two, coughing softly and whispering.

“I think we have to focus on one person. ”

Haspel looked at him and said, "Alone? ”

“Yes," Helms swallowed a mouthful of spit, pointing out, “I studied the relevant information, and before he returned home, the Chinese nation, although it had built trees in the Tokamak study, was far from a threat to us. And it's almost blank in the study of star mimicrys. ”

“However, since his return, the situation has changed in less than a year…”
