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 408: Stormy Weather

Hello young people! This is the battlefield for young people!

This kind of courage and drive of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger is the state of mind that scientific researchers of their age, who have already entered their twilight years, yearn for the most. They have been kidnapped by so-called experience and have lost the fearless state of mind they once had when they were young. They have become hesitant and somewhat afraid of failure.

They are getting older, but because they have such successors, they can smile in the afterlife even if they close their eyes.

After listening to all the speeches, Wu Tong had already quickly deduced the possibility of each proposal in his mind. For each speech, Wu Tong gave guidance and analysis, and finally decided to conduct experiments in three directions. After more data was produced, he would continue to screen.

The three directions of improved research and development of tungsten, in-depth research and development of carbon materials, and research and development of coating materials all have certain feasibility and are currently more likely to exist. Wu Tong even boldly wondered whether they could be combined for more effective utilization?

All possibilities lie within research and development. Before real results emerge, even God cannot predict what ideas will produce miracles. Wu Tong's ability to identify three highly likely research directions in a short period of time, based on limited information, is a testament to her extensive knowledge and keen scientific intuition.

After all, it is the first-wall material that has troubled the world for many years. It is an extremely tough nut to crack. If Wu Tong could give the results in minutes, she would think that she is the god of materials. Unfortunately, she is not.

However, Wu Tong wasn't greedy. She was most pleased by the successful identification of three research and development directions, and by the team's proactive approach and willingness to experiment and fail. As for the final outcome, it was a matter of step-by-step experimentation and deduction. They kept their feet firmly on the ground, refusing to let their expectations run wild and their self-deprecation dampened their expectations. Eventually, they would see results.

Ruan Chengxu and Tao Ran were instructed to lead the team members to design experiments in groups. After the meeting, Wu Tong spoke with the teacher and then checked in with Fu Chuantang on the current project progress. Fu Chuantang was currently overseeing the external liaisons for the entire project, with Cai Yi and An Wenshu providing assistance, while the teacher was in charge.

Wu Tong's energy is mostly invested in research and development. The people around her will temporarily take care of the trivial matters such as the initial monitoring of the project and the placement of liaison personnel.

Tungsten plates, carbon high-energy materials, coating materials. Back in the office, Wu Tong immediately entered a state of deep research and development with no distractions. On the draft paper, she listed the three directions she had initially selected one by one, and began to conduct in-depth deductions and calculations to determine the next research and development design for these three directions, as well as the most likely research and development options.

As Wu Tong began his in-depth research, a quiet movement was also underway in China. A secretive controlled nuclear fusion forum in China, strictly vetted, allowed only those with a solid foundation in fusion technology to join. It was a small, insider forum.

At this moment, someone popped up in the quiet forum, tentatively saying, "Hey big guys in the forum, is there any big move in the circle recently? Why do I feel like the big guys are all making moves?"

"There must be some big move. Our boss is going to Beijing!"

"Same, our boss has also gone to Beijing!" It is said in the bar that there is no real top boss, but the people who are in neither high nor low positions are more sensitive to news and actions.

"Haha... It can't be that there will be big moves in the field of fusion in China, right? If there really is, we can set off fireworks in the bar. We fusion people have been looking forward to a breakthrough in domestic fusion for many years!" This is positive. In the bar, they all have a general identity, fusion people.

····

At this time, under the dim light, secret messages were also conveyed to each other, and those mice that dared not show their heads could not help but become active.

“Is China going to make some big move?”

"Find out. If there's another major incident like the one involving Weilong, Kunpeng, and Canglong, we'll all commit seppuku!" As spies, without their role as eyes and ears, they'd lose their meaning. Wouldn't those without value be abandoned?

At this moment, the security department in the country is also holding a meeting.

"This time, we must take advantage of the favorable conditions above and be alert. We must lure out the snakes and catch more mice that are afraid to show themselves to humans. You must play your duty as cats catching mice!" If those people do not move, then it's fine. But if they move, they must be prepared to be caught. China will not allow anyone to undermine domestic stability and security.

··············

When the outside world was sensitive and the situation was turbulent, a secret meeting was being held in a conference room in Beijing.

"Is it a bit extreme for us to hand over such a difficult task and such pressure to a young scholar?"

The results of controlled nuclear fusion are undoubtedly tempting. It is a clean and inexhaustible energy source, and it is possible to overtake others...

"The history of human development is actually the history of human beings' use of the earth's various resources. From the initial learning to use stone, bronze and iron tools to the current use of natural resources such as oil and natural gas, humans have only used a few thousand years of history. As the world's population increases, humans overuse various non-renewable resources. One day, these non-renewable resources will gradually be exhausted as human development progresses.

Countries around the world are actively developing new clean energy sources, such as wind and solar power. However, these traditional methods of obtaining energy have extremely low energy utilization rates, making it difficult for humans to meet daily needs. "Controlled nuclear fusion is the fortress we must capture!" A deep and solemn voice sounded from the other end.

More than 70 years ago, humans successfully developed atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs through nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Soon after, humans began research on controlled nuclear fusion.

Controlled nuclear fusion is called an artificial sun because the sun generates light and heat through nuclear fusion, providing energy for the Earth. Due to the rapid growth of the global population and the increasing use of various resources, an energy crisis is gradually looming over all of humanity.

It took only nine years from the explosion of the first atomic bomb to the construction of the first nuclear fission power plant. However, the time from the explosion of the first hydrogen bomb to the construction of the first nuclear fusion power plant has not yet been achieved. This shows that the difficulty of achieving controlled nuclear fission and controlled nuclear fusion is not on the same order of magnitude.

"But she's not just any ordinary person. She's our miracle, Ms. Wu. We should give her enough trust and support!"
