With the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project officially launching the construction of the demonstration reactor.
The entire field of controlled nuclear fusion and plasma physics suddenly became a mess.
Almost all countries are looking for experts and professors to evaluate the progress of China's controllable nuclear fusion, and scholars in the field are discussing and expressing their opinions on the Internet.
On Twitter, the famous American entrepreneur Musk responded quickly after receiving the news.
[This is a monument to controllable nuclear fusion. The emergence of the demonstration reactor will mean that we are one step closer to the ultimate energy source of our dreams. It is the Holy Grail in the energy field and can illuminate a future we cannot see. 】
[Traditional fossil energy is destined to be abandoned with the development of the times, not only because of environmental pollution, we need a healthy ecological earth, but also because of the low efficiency of fossil energy. Relatively speaking, electric energy is the future
The way out, not only in the future, but also now, whether it is life or transportation, we cannot do without electric energy.】
【I earnestly hope that it will come sooner.】
[To this end, I decided to invest three billion meters in gold to establish TinySpot Fusion Energy Company, hoping to contribute to the great cause of controllable nuclear fusion. 】
[Of course, I also hope that like-minded friends can participate together. Whether they are researchers or engineers in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, or other friends who are interested in investing together, I welcome them all. 】
Compared with other big names in the business field, Musk is more keen on surfing the Internet and expressing his opinions and views.
I have to say that after this tweet came out, countless netizens on Twitter also started discussing it.
[God, is controllable nuclear fusion really coming?!!]
[It’s unbelievable that China is about to open a demonstration reactor, but we are still doing plasma operation experiments in seconds. Why can China catch up? Where has our investment been spent? 】
[As I said, China's withdrawal from ITER is not good news. Look, by the time the spark of controllable nuclear fusion lights up on that red land, ITER has not even started building a demonstration reactor. 】
【This is really terrible.】
[Perhaps the situation is not as bad as you think. They only managed to run for two hours a few months ago. It is impossible to suddenly solve all the problems now, especially the first wall material. This is probably just released by China.
Under the guise, after all, we are competing now.]
[Upstairs, your news is seriously behind. I heard that Professor Xu has solved the problem of the first wall material.]
[Impossible! The problem of neutron irradiation is not that easy to solve. Whether it is a metal or a non-metal, high-energy neutrons will destroy its crystal structure. You said it was solved, then what material was used? 】
[I really don’t know if your head has grown above the horse’s buttocks. Do you think Academician Xu will reveal this core material? 】
[To be honest, I prefer to believe that he has really solved the problem of the first wall material. If nothing else, you will believe it if you look at his brilliant achievements in the past. 】
...
On the other side, Washington, White House.
An old man who had just taken office was roaring with the last strength of his life.
"Xie Te! Are you eating shit in your daily work? Why, why is it that China is starting to build a demonstration reactor, but I haven't received any news at all."
"Why, why did I only know about such an important thing after it was reported by the news media across the street? Didn't you set up a special team? Where are the people? What about the work? What about the results? Did you do it all to the pigs?
"
For him, nothing could be worse than the news.
Not long after I took office, I heard such bad news.
This is not good news for the promise he made before he was elected to focus on economic issues and revive the United States.
In addition, he also promised to be "president for all Americans," including those who did not support his candidacy.
Now it seems that the outside world may have greater opinions on him.
Opposite, CIA Director William Joseph Burns, who was promoted by him personally, Energy Director Dan Brouillette, and ITER's Board of Directors Representative Kirk Brooke were standing together.
William Joseph Burns was fine, and the expression on his face did not change much, but the expressions of Dan Brouillette and ITER director representative Kirk Brook were a little complicated.
China actually started the construction of a demonstration reactor.
This was something they had never thought of, especially for Coker Brook, it was simply a fantasy.
No one knows better than him the differences between experimental reactors and demonstration reactors.
If the demonstration reactor is completed, real commercial use may not be far away.
William Joseph Burns calmly wiped the spit flying from his face, cleared his throat, and said:
"This has something to do with my predecessor, Ms. Gina Haspel. I compiled all the information during her tenure and found that she did not take many measures against the other side."
"This also resulted in us missing a lot of crucial information."
"Of course, I will improve this phenomenon immediately."
Like the elderly president in front of him, he has not been in office for long. Of course, before he became director, he had already worked in the Central Intelligence Agency and was very clear about related matters.
But now, let’s throw the pot away first.
Anyway, Gina Haspel has left and there is no way she can confront him here again.
Opposite me, the elderly president took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked: "I want to know how long it will take for China to solve the technology of controllable nuclear fusion? How long do we have?
"
Hearing this, William Joseph Burns coughed lightly and said, "Director Coker Brook knows this."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As he said that, he looked at Coker Brook: "Can you please explain to Director Coker that the reason for clearing China from ITER was
It’s your decision.”
Hearing his name, Coker Brook sighed in his heart. His feeling during the meeting in Kadarashirdi seemed to be coming true.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and said: "I think we have seriously underestimated China's investment in controllable nuclear fusion, and also seriously underestimated the other party's technological reserves."
"If the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor is truly built and can successfully achieve ignition operation and ignition, I am afraid they are not far away from the commercial use of real controllable nuclear fusion."
"Even if the demonstration reactor is still some distance away from a real commercial reactor, there are still many problems that need to be solved. But that is probably not a difficult thing for China."
"What's the specific time? How long do we have?" the elderly president stared at him and asked.
After thinking for a while, Coker Brook cautiously said: "As far as my personal assessment is concerned, if the demonstration reactor is built, it may take two to three years at most before they can be used commercially."
"If you include the time to build the demonstration reactor, we will have no more than five years at most. If everything goes well, this time may be shortened to three years."
Hearing this, the elderly president couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.
Three years is really too short.
Suddenly, the forever fifty years turned into three years. This span of time is so huge that it is really hard for people to accept.
Why, why was it that countries that were originally on the same starting line and were even far behind them suddenly made a counterattack and overtook them, leaving them far behind?
There was silence in the office.
William Joseph Burns coughed lightly, broke the dead silence, and said: "Perhaps it is not China that we underestimated, but Professor Xu."
Hearing this, the other three people all turned their eyes over.
The new director thought for a while and then said: "I have read the survey data. Two years ago, China's development in the field of controllable nuclear fusion was at the same level as ours, or even lagging behind."
"The change started in 2019 when Professor Xu took control of the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project."
"In fact, at present, China's achievements in the field of controllable nuclear fusion in the past two years are basically from the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project led by Professor Xu."
"And I have investigated and found out that Professor Xu not only made huge contributions in theoretical fields such as mathematics, physics and astronomy, he is also a top scientist in materials science."
"The Chuanhai Institute of Materials under his name has developed artificial SEI films, solved the problem of lithium dendrites, and also created the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material."
"The latter is the key to solving plasma turbulence, which has been proven on Helix 7X."
"It can be said that in the field of materials science, his achievements are worthy of the Nobel Prize. We have seriously underestimated him in this regard."
"It can be said that without Professor Xu, China's development in the field of controllable nuclear fusion would never have reached the point where it is today."
"Letting him go in 2018 was the worst thing the president ever did."
"We should keep this kind of top talent no matter what."
"Even if you can't keep him, you can't put him back."
"Just like Professor Qian decades ago, Professor Xu is also a scholar with terrifying abilities. In fact, he is even more terrifying than the one decades ago."
"Because he not only has great achievements in theory, but is also a scholar who can transform theory into real applications and technologies."
