Back Before the College Entrance Exam, I Became Popular in the Science Community

Returning to the time before the college entrance exam, Wu Tong decided to study hard to change the tragedy of her previous life and become her parents' pride. From being the top student in her gr...

Chapter 378 Fusion

Every second of the controlled nuclear fusion experiment burns money, and any random start-up requires the transfer of tens of billions of funds!

This funding requirement will indeed put some pressure on the higher-ups.

Therefore, Wu Tong was asking questions, not making a direct and arbitrary decision. Regarding the above decision, Wu Tong will respect and wait.

I want to compare whether she focuses solely on scientific research or takes a broader and more comprehensive view. The launch of each project must be a decision made when the time is right.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, I will report this carefully to the higher-ups and keep you updated on the research progress!" Even with Chu Hengyuan's sophistication, he couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words "controlled nuclear fusion"!

Controlled nuclear fusion, artificial sun, the dominant technologies of the future scientific and technological revolution. It can be said that whoever masters controlled nuclear fusion will seize the initiative in the next revolution. No superpower can resist the temptation of controlled nuclear fusion!

At present, the international research and development of controlled nuclear fusion, apart from across the sea, is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) led by international organizations and the European Union as the technology leader.

In order to keep pace with the international community and not fall behind in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, China received approval from the higher authorities in January 2003 to participate in the ITER project negotiations. After three years of negotiations, on May 24, 2006, representatives of the China ITER Negotiation Joint Group jointly signed the ITER project agreement with the European Union, Borneo, Japan, South Korea, the neighboring country and the other side of the sea, marking the entry of the ITER project into the preparation stage for full implementation.

Every year, China invests a large amount of money in ITER for research and development support, but the Chinese people's say in it is still very small.

Just like the other side of the sea, which has not pinned all its hopes on TIER, China will naturally not put all its eggs in one basket. Research on controlled nuclear fusion is also underway in China. However, the results have been dismal so far and have failed to keep up with the international advanced level. It is still in trouble and has not made much effective progress!

For many people who do not understand the importance of controlled nuclear fusion, it is like a bottomless pit, a huge mouth of the abyss, swallowing up countless funds and causing a lot of complaints!

The country’s annual investment costs in this area add up to an astronomical figure!

However, China cannot afford to lose the opportunity to influence the next stage, so it is necessary to grit its teeth and support. Now, Ms. Wu said that she is interested in developing controlled nuclear fusion. What does this mean?

This issue was probably no less devastating to the higher-ups than an atomic bomb. Even they would probably have to think it over carefully and wouldn't be able to make a decision right away.

Mr. Wu's matter was truly crucial, as was controlled nuclear fusion. Controlled nuclear fusion, however, still had to wait another fifty years, and the higher-ups might not immediately approve it. Mr. Wu was entering a bottomless pit!

However, in the same way, if we ask who can still give hope for controlled nuclear fusion within this century, I am afraid the higher-ups are also very clear in their minds that only Mr. Wu is the most likely one!

Chu Hengyuan smiled bitterly. "Boss Wu, this is a question thrown to the higher-ups, one that's hard for them to refuse, yet they can't make up their minds!" It's estimated that before and after the New Year, none of them will be able to rest.

However, this is not to blame Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu is also considering the country. This is a sector that must be addressed. Mr. Wu is willing, interested, and capable of researching it. They should actually be grateful that they have the ability and willingness to research it.

However, Mr. Wu is only nineteen years old after all, and they are also worried that Mr. Wu will fall into the deep pit of controlled nuclear fusion and bury his other talents!

This is a confusing question!

Compared to Chu Hengyuan, who was worried and entangled about the problem left by Wu Tong, Wu Tong, who said goodbye to Chu Hengyuan and returned home, was much happier. After waiting for so long, the child was finally back. Wu Tong naturally enjoyed being surrounded by the deep love and care of his family, and just enjoyed the infinite love of his family and entertained his parents with colorful clothes.

After completing a project with such intensity, Wu Tong finds the best relaxation in spending time with her family. She spends three full days at home, doing nothing but resting and spending time with her family, feeling completely at ease.

However, in stark contrast to Wu Tong, meetings were quietly taking place above him, where Wu Tong had left the issue. There was no doubt that they would pursue controlled nuclear fusion. They didn't want to be left behind by the world's progress, so they had to pursue research on controlled nuclear fusion and artificial suns.

Whether to let Wu Tong intervene, before Wu Tong, no matter which sector she intervened in, as long as she was willing, from aerospace, to land-based missiles, to naval ships and aircraft carriers, they were all exciting and shocking achievements. In fact, Wu Tong was willing to touch this sector and remove all concerns. This was what they wanted!

The sun is the source of all energy on Earth.

Solar energy in a broad sense is the source of all energy on Earth, such as wind energy, chemical energy, water potential energy, biochemical energy, etc. Solar energy in a narrow sense is limited to the direct conversion of solar radiation energy into thermal, photoelectric and photochemical forms.

The sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion, where four hydrogen atoms fuse into one helium atom. This is the most efficient nuclear fusion, with a mass loss of 0.7%. The energy generated by fusion is tens of millions of times greater than the energy of burning chemical substances. The fusion of 1 kg of hydrogen atoms into 0.993 kg of helium releases energy equivalent to 4,000 tons of oil and 6,000 tons of coal!

From a technological perspective, looking back at history and the experiences of several industrial revolutions, we can see that the key to liberating all productive forces and production factors is ultimately energy.

Whoever can master the energy of fusion means that whoever masters the sun also masters the future!

Controlling the sun and controlling the future is a temptation that no one can resist.

"Controlled nuclear fusion is a long-standing project, but there has been no significant progress. In fact, we have already invested a lot of money in the ITER project and played an extraordinary role. We are well aware of the value of this technology and are willing to invest more in it.

But the most crucial question is, how confident is Mr. Wu? And is it worth it for us to let Mr. Wu get involved in this bottomless field?

In the smoke-filled conference room, these seemingly inspiring words became the main theme of their meeting.

They are definitely going to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, but what is before them now is that Mr. Wu wants to achieve controlled nuclear fusion. Can they make up their minds and let Mr. Wu do it?

I haven't heard any news before that President Wu wanted to do this. Now that President Wu has brought it up, how confident is she in achieving controlled nuclear fusion?

Is it a spur-of-the-moment decision, or are there really specific rules? ·······
