Regarding Hassan's strategy of "being friends with Chinese people first", no matter how stubborn Mingsen is, he has to admit that this is probably the most reliable and operational approach at present.

However, having a plan is one thing, but how to implement it is another. He had no idea where to open a breakthrough.

After all, the conflict between the two countries has been around for a long time. It can even be said that from the moment the country of China was born, the relationship between the two countries was destined to be opposite or even hostile.

This opposition state has indeed been maintained for quite a long time. Except for the occasional honeymoon period over decades, most of the other times, the two countries are at a tense state.

This state was not until China reached information hegemony through RSA decryption technology that this state eased.

Therefore, it is not easy to "be friends" with them, even if they are just friends in the academic field.

Especially when designing major projects and major scientific development directions.

You can't just put the money in a tea box and send it to the other party like those who engage in commercial bribery, and then say to the other party, "This is the money you bought the government debt before, and now I'll pay you a part of it first."

He was troubled by this problem for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that the opportunity came to the door so naturally.

On September 10, the whole world was excited by the major breakthroughs made by China in BCI technology, and when people were thinking that humanity was about to enter a new era, the Chengdu Huayuan Academy released a more exciting news:

The Shenguang 4 inertial constrained nuclear fusion device is about to conduct the first ignition experiment.

Before this official ignition, Huabu Academy had conducted verification experiments on each component of the fusion device and made a judgment that the device had reached the experimental benchmark conditions.

Lasers, locators, target pills, first walls... Even if it is the most difficult filter biasing device to solve at present, Huaxia has achieved technological progress and there is no problem in supporting small-scale nuclear fusion in a short period of time.

Everything looked perfect, but at a regular meeting at Birmingham National Laboratory, Minsen got an important message.

......

In the conference room, key members of the Healy organization sat together to discuss the news that the Huaxia Shenguang 4 device was about to be conducted.

"So, what you mean is that China's Shenguang No. 4 project this time is likely to still not meet the truly applicable nuclear fusion power generation standards?"

The person who spoke was Aldo. For the past period of time, he had been busy approving and handling various matters about consciousness uploading projects, which took up a lot of energy. After the resources required for the project were basically in place, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the news released by Huaxia about inertial constraint nuclear fusion forced him to get busy again.

There is no way, this news has a great impact on our side. After all, our national ignition device has been ahead of the other side for nearly 10 years. However, now, the national ignition device is still undergoing reconstruction and upgrade, but the other side has begun to speak out to achieve steady-state discharge on Shenguang 4.

The researcher opposite nodded and replied:

"Yes. To explain this issue, we introduce a concept, which is the difference between nuclear fusion ignition and steady-state discharge."

"In fact, with our current technical level, it is not difficult to ignite an inertial constrained fusion device. A long time ago, Huaxia's east device had already achieved 120 million degrees Celsius plasma operation in a hundred seconds, approaching the temperature conditions of fusion. The later Shenguang 3 project realized fusion in the true sense, but the duration was extremely short."

"However, being able to fusion does not mean that the energy of fusion can be used."

"The most core problem of fusion reactors can be used for commercial discharge applications is that they need to burn controlled and stable, rather than continuously emit a bunch of high-energy pulses."

"Even if the triple marrowson criterion of self-sustaining fusion reaction is achieved and cannot be discharged in a steady state, the fusion device must consume a lot of energy at each ignition to heat the plasma to the fusion parameters."

"That is, taking the inertial constraint device as an example, a large part of the electricity generated by the fusion reaction must be re-injected into the laser igniter, causing serious energy consumption."

"This will be a serious problem for the technology that is not yet mature, and the ratio of q value - that is, the energy output and energy input - relatively low fusion power generation."

Speaking of this, the researcher paused for a moment, took a sip of water and continued:

"From the data currently published by Huaxia and the detailed parameters of the field of cooperation, the Shenguang No. 4 device has complete designs and can definitely achieve self-sustaining fusion reactions, but it still has many problems."

"The Legend of Fairy Wood"

"These problems are likely to make steady-state discharge difficult to achieve, greatly weakening the practical significance of Shenguang IV."

Aldo, opposite, nodded and replied:

"I understand what you mean, so what you want to say is that this Shenguang 4 device is not a nuclear fusion reactor in the true sense, but a 'prototype reactor' for verification and experiment?"

"Yes, that's it. But this is still a major breakthrough, and this is undeniable. In this field, the gap between us and China has begun to widen rapidly."

"According to the laboratory's feedback, it will take at least five years to achieve self-sustaining fusion reactions."

Hearing this, Aldo sighed and said:

"This is how the development of technology is. Who knows if someone else will suddenly appear one or two geniuses, which will lead to explosive breakthroughs - after the application of BCI technology, their breakthroughs will increase."

"We won't discuss this issue. Now I want to ask, from your professional perspective, what are the main reasons why you feel that steady-state discharge cannot be achieved?"

The researcher handed Aldo the materials in his hand, which were already marked with a lot of content, which seemed extremely messy, but fortunately, although the font was sloppy, it was still able to distinguish.

"We analyzed several defects, including the performance of the filter that did not meet expectations, such as the new material used in the first wall not being rigorously verified, etc."

"However, we believe that the most likely reason for the experiment failure is that the material of the fusion target pellet outsourcing ablation layer is lagging behind."

"From the perspective of parameters, they are still using traditional hdc-w-ch ablation coating. Although this coating can ensure uniform combustion of each layer of coating during the ablation process, its performance is very unstable during the accelerated ablation stage."

"The main reason is that the plasma expansion curve is inconsistent during the ablation process, so once the x-ray radiation field in the black cavity of the target pill fluctuates unpredictably, the ablation progress of the entire ablation layer will be affected."

"This problem cannot be solved by increasing the laser power and the intensity of the target pill. In fact, we have explored for a long time and finally decided to use elemental silicon material to make the target pill ablation layer spherical shell, which was finally solved."

"Now, ablation layer material is still one of our biggest confidential information, and we believe that if they still use the ablation layer material as stated on the parameters, steady-state discharge is possible, but the chance is very small."

Aldo nodded and replied:

"Okay, I've basically understood the situation. This is good news, but it is bad news."

"The good news is that they are not too far ahead, and we still have a chance to catch up."

"But the bad news is that the energy industry of the entire human race may have to be slowed down for a while."

"But overall, this is a good thing for us. OK, let's continue to discuss the issue of the national ignition device---when are you planning to start a new ignition pattern?"

......

The meeting lasted for two hours, and the issues discussed were extremely professional and complicated. Aldo had a headache when he finally announced the end of the meeting, his mind had almost stopped turning.

At this time, the most important thing for him was no longer the life and death of human beings, nor the struggle between China and our own side. Instead, he hurried home, had a hot bath, and had a good sleep.

While packing the materials on the table, he planned to get up and leave, but at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Aldo put down what was in his hand helplessly and said:

"God bless, Mingsen, tell me, you didn't come to me for resources this time, I'm going crazy, I know that awareness uploading projects is important, but Healy really doesn't have that many resources to allocate to you..."

"No, no."

Mingsen interrupted his complaint and said with a little joking:

"This time it's not about resources, but it may be worse for you."

Hearing this, Aldo felt tight and then asked tentatively:

"What are you going to do?"

Mingsen smiled, lowered his voice and replied:

"I want to hand over our nuclear fusion target pill technology to Huaxia."
