Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chang Triangle City Group.

AIDB headquarters.

After listening to the report on the other side of the video phone, President Zhou, sitting in the office chair, said with a strange expression after a moment of reflection.

“Second-generation controllable fusion… Are you sure that's what he said? ”

“I'm pretty sure," Jongzi yoked at the bottom of the holographic screen, gently continuing, "Though Academician Lu is not the most suitable candidate for the chairman of the board, his proposal for second-generation controlled nuclear fusion did impress me. Over the past half century, there has been little substantial development in East Asian electricity, apart from its strength to its swelling. Second-generation controllable fusion sounds amazing, but whether he can do it or not, I think it can at least make some difference. ”

The index finger gently touched the table, and President Zhou asked quietly.

“Risk? ”

“The only risk is at the technical level, but even if the worst happens, it's not too bad to be acceptable," Zhong Ziyu continued. ”

The office was silent for a long time.

President Zhou sitting at the desk, as if caught in contemplation, hasn't spoken a word for a while.

About five minutes later, he finally woke up and lifted his eyelid, looked at the clock yo-yo in the holographic window and opened it.

“You did good. ”

“Now that the risks are acceptable, I will not hold you to account. ”

“But remember, keeping East Asian Electric's shares independent is a prerequisite for everything. If it is discovered that he intends to consolidate several shares in the company in hand and lobby other shareholders to complete the merger and reorganization… you must stop him. ”

Zhong Ziyu slightly bowed his head.

“I'll do it. ”

Video calls are over.

Zhou Xianglong, who hung up the phone, slightly loosened his shoulder and leaned back against the office chair.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of East Asian Electric Power Airborne by Master Lu...

And dropped a heavy bomb on the board of directors with second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Although the risks were manageable, every step of the way had come to this point was unexpected to him.

“It's hard to say if it's a blessing or a disaster...”

Some raised his index finger in a headache and pressed his eyebrow, staring at the ceiling and talking to himself, suddenly sat up straight from the office chair and gently tapped his index finger at the corner of the desk.

The light blue holographic panel reappears and the video phone window opens again.

Looking at the smart assistant in the floating window, he said with a clear voice.

“Call the Trans-Asian Cooperation Headquarters. ”

“I have something important to talk to Chairman Lee about. ”

……

For the people of Pan-Asia, this month has definitely been the two most moody months in almost two years.

First, flight N-177 was hijacked, Skyboat Space Station was hit, then Academician Lu suddenly scammed, and all Pan-Asian cooperation member countries celebrated his return.

However, if there is anything more surprising to the people of Pan-Asia than the “resurrection” of Dean Lu, it is probably the second generation of controllable nuclear fusion.

The old ice stick, who woke up a century ago, came to the forefront of academia and challenged the insurmountable nature of second-generation controllable nuclear fusion…

A lot of people heard the news, and the first reaction was obnoxious.

As for the second reaction, it's still stubborn...

LSPM forum chat section.

As the only academic exchange division without a threshold, most of the non-professional science enthusiasts who discuss communication here, or students attending first- or second-line colleges, are in the process of doing so.

Because of the large population of trans-Asian cooperation, even though the Forum itself is small, the daily flow is not small.

As an academic exchange platform designed by Master Lu himself in that year, this topic naturally cannot bypass LSPM, an academic paradise on the Internet.

Almost the first time the news was published, the voice of the discussion occupied the entire gossip section. There are those who meditate and chat about the inside of gossip, and there are also those who discuss academic issues.

However, regardless of what is being discussed, people's emotions are highly consistent...

“Second-generation controlled nuclear fusion? He's not kidding, is he? ”

“Didn't the chief engineer of East Asian Electric just say that at a lecture at Jinling University? We're at least 50 years away from second-generation controlled fusion! ”

“Fifty years… it would have been 150 years for Lu Academician since he was dormant. ”

“Nor can it be so... After all, for a demon like Lu Academician, it shouldn't be a big deal to penetrate these 100 years of technology. After all, when Pangu heap ignited, he was the chief designer, no one knew more about the design process of the entire fusion heap core! ”

“Hard to say! It's been a hundred years, and that design idea of his was long gone! ”

“But a smart brain can't be obsolete, at least I'm looking forward to it! ”

It's not just the ordinary people who are passionate about it, but also the scholars who are doing research in the field, or more frankly, the stakeholders.

On the first day of the announcement of the second-generation controllable fusion project by East Asia Electric Power and the announcement that Master Lu himself was the head of the project, the virtual discussion group of the LSPM Forum produced a large number of articles related to news such as "second-generation controllable fusion” and “Master Lu as chairman of the East Asia Electric Power Board”.

Especially with regard to the feasibility of second-generation controllable fusion technology, people with different opinions argued blush, if not across the network cable almost fist each other, and at the end of the day, even a lot of people really ran to the Rio rack of games.

In view of the wide-ranging discussion that had been sparked by the incident, Pan-Asian Television's scientific programme immediately followed suit and invited a heavyweight guest.

This guest is not the Ark itself, but Academician Zhang Feiyue, the head of the Institute of Nuclear Engineering at the Institute of Advanced Studies, a leading expert in the field of contemporary controllable fusion technology research!

As far as theory is concerned, even the chief engineer of East Asian electricity is less familiar with controllable fusion technology.

“Hello, Reverend Zhang! ”

The polite greeting nodded with a smile.

“Hello Moderator. ”

Moderator: "How do you view the recent proposal by Dean Lu to make second-generation controlled fusion technology a key development direction for East Asian electricity over the next five years? ”

“It's hard to say...” Touched the scum on his chin. After a moment of reflection, Reverend Zhang responded with a friendly smile from the host, “I don't know much about economics, just say I do. ”

The moderator nodded and said seriously.

“Go ahead! ”

“The cost of second-generation controlled nuclear fusion, which is not only one order of magnitude higher than that of one generation of controllable fusion on energy meters, also varies dramatically between the two. ”

Moderator: “Can you say something more common? ”

Master Zhang smiled and said.

“Let's put it this way, regardless of the design differences, there are thirty-seven fusion reactors with a generation of controllable fusion technologies and a dozen deuterium refineries and hundreds of hydrogen storage stations throughout the pan-Asian region to date. Electricity in East Asia pays more than 7 billion credit points annually for maintenance costs, accounting for 40 per cent of total operating costs. ”

“And with second-generation controllable fusion technology, it takes more than just one fusion reactor to replace these thirty-seven fusion reactors, which employ a generation of technologies, and even a lot of energy. ”

Hearing this intuitive metaphor, the expression on the host's face changed instantly.

The power generation of a second-generation fusion reactor can reach thirty-seven generational fusion reactors?!

It's not just bullshit anymore!

Just fucking hang up, okay?

He swallowed his mouth spit nervously, and the host continued to ask in a tone of excitement to tremble.

“Really... is that such an exaggeration? ”

“It is not an exaggeration, however, that second-generation controllable fusion technologies are the same for the generation of controllable fusion technologies as for the generation of controllable nuclear fusion technologies in relation to fission power generation. If there's a difference, it's probably the window paper that doesn't have fusion energy between them. ”

Speaking of which, the tone of Master Zhang brought a little emotion.

“Actually, it's all a small matter. The key is second-generation fusion technology, which replaces the relatively expensive tritium with an abundant amount of helium on the moon that is less difficult to collect. ”

“If we go further and apply second-generation fusion technology to space, our ships will not only be more than twice as big as they are today, but will also be able to carry an order of magnitude of fuel and range. ”

“Even conservative estimates suggest that our future will change dramatically as a result of this technology! ”

Listen to this amazing words from Master Zhang, his face is full of shocking host, he forgot the words for a moment.

He opened his mouth and after a while he swallowed his mouth and spat.

“… what about three generations of controllable fusion technologies? ”

“Three generations?” Master Zhang was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "That must be pure helium trifusion, combining two helium triatoms to form a helium atom and two protons... and this is also the most perfect fusion formula in the legend. ”

“But when that thing comes true, it's going to be a long time. ”

Due to the statement of Dean Zhang, the discussion on second-generation controllable fusion was pushed to a new peak.

A number of papers sprung up like rain showers, from an academic point of view, began to argue about the feasibility of technology and the expected cost of investment.

However, most of the opinions in these papers do not speak of optimism.

From an emotional standpoint, most people are willing to believe that the Lu Academicians, who once brought light to the land, will once again light a bigger torch.

Yet science is emotional.

Sitting in his study, Ark sipped a sip of 2125 coffee, knocked the last punctuation on the holographic keyboard, and instructed Em to send the paper to Future Editorial.

Speaking of which, his last contribution to The Future was a paper on ABC speculation.

The scene of discussing mathematics with old friends, it all seemed like yesterday.

If you don't go to the calendar, the Ark doesn't even feel at all. The last submission was 100 years ago...
