Chapter 219 Chapter 219 [Jinjiang exclusive, chicken blood, ...
After the conversation between the two that day, everyone became busy again.
This time, Lin Yimu was not only busy with the nuclear fusion experiment, but also had to arrange people to study the possibility of nuclear fusion in aerospace applications. Just these two experiments made everyone busy and exhausted.
Lin Yimu himself is much busier than everyone else. As the general person in charge of the project, he has to run around every project team and even do experiments himself. In just half a month, he has lost a lot of weight.
Although the two projects were carried out simultaneously, because Lin Yimu had not yet completed the nuclear fusion technology, the experiments on aerospace applications were actually much more restricted, and it was a relatively leisurely group.
As a talent in the aerospace field, Huang Minglei was naturally on the list. However, because his work could not really be carried out, he would come to the nuclear energy laboratory from time to time to help Lin Yimu.
Once you get busy, time flies.
......
"It's been more than a month, right? I wonder if the engineering institute has finished the work?"
Lin Yimu was looking at the microscope on the lab table, observing the energy emitted by the elements inside, and casually asked Huang Minglei, who was also busy beside him.
Huang Minglei said as he operated the instrument in his hand: "There was news from the Academy of Engineering a few days ago that the tokamak device will be successfully manufactured in a few days. I think there should be news soon."
"Then it's time to get the nuclear fusion experimental reactor started. Otherwise, any delay in progress will be a waste of time. I'll talk to my superiors after get off work. I guess we can't build a nuclear fusion reactor at the Aerospace Research Institute in Beijing. It's too noisy and too conspicuous." Lin Yimu spoke while busying himself.
Huang Minglei sighed when he heard this. "There's nothing we can do about it. Building a nuclear fusion reactor is such a big project, it's impossible to keep it secret. We can only try to find a place with a large area and few people that won't attract attention."
"Yeah, but I don't know where to choose. After all, we have to conduct ignition experiments after the research is successful, and the instruments and equipment can't be too shabby. And if there is any movement here, everyone will probably look over here. There is no way to avoid alerting people, unless we find a place nearby to build a nuclear fusion reactor."
Speaking of this, Lin Yimu was a little worried. He originally stayed in the Aerospace Research Institute in Beijing because of the complete instruments and equipment here. Now he wants to build a nuclear fusion reactor here, but he is restricted by geographical issues.
"Don't worry about this for now. Let's wait for the Academy of Engineering to finish building their stuff. After all, they will need to work on the nuclear fusion reactor. Let's finish the work at hand first." Huang Minglei comforted Lin Yimu while repeating the previous operation.
Lin Yimu didn't have any good solution at the moment, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being and focus on the experiment at hand.
This is the last batch of elemental reactions they want to experiment with. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to carry out the complete experiment after the tokamak device and the nuclear fusion reactor are completed. As long as there are no problems, they can try the ignition experiment.
These are easy to say but difficult to do, which makes Lin Yimu feel a little heavy in his heart. His time is almost up. If he fails to complete the task, 001 and the others will probably be very disappointed.
At the beginning, he always felt that he had plenty of time, so he spent too much time on medical research. Now that he has to complete the manned space mission, he has encountered difficulties in the fuel step.
Although he has completed many projects, the most important ones, such as nuclear fusion reactors and tokamak devices, all take time. Even how to apply nuclear fusion technology to space rockets is no longer the most difficult thing.
What he needs most now is time.
It was time for lunch, and Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei went to the cafeteria together. During the meal, they discussed calling the Academy of Engineering to inquire about the progress.
As a result, before the two of them finished their meal, Lin Yimu was notified that someone was looking for him.
Lin Yimu, who was eating, looked up at the person who came in a daze. It was a soldier guarding the research institute, and the other party happened to be in charge of guarding his office recently.
Putting down his chopsticks, Lin Yimu cleaned up the plate at hand and was about to take it out to deal with it when he heard Huang Minglei say, "Okay, put the things here, I'll help you take them out and deal with them later. You should go and see if someone has something urgent to ask you."
Lin Yimu nodded, put down his things, and followed the other person to the office.
When he arrived at the office, Lin Yimu just opened the door and saw Academician Liu from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, whom he and Huang Minglei had been talking about in the morning.
Lin Yimu stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Academician Liu, are you coming here now because the tokamak device is ready?"
Seeing Lin Yimu's surprised expression, Academician Liu also smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in the smile.
"Xiaomu, the tokamak device you need is ready, but..."
Lin Yimu showed a hint of joy when he heard this, but when he saw Academician Liu's hesitation, the joy on his face faded, and he asked in confusion, "Academician Liu, what problem have you encountered?"
Academician Liu sighed when he heard Lin Yimu's question, and said with determination: "The situation is like this. We have indeed made the tokamak device you need, but it is only enough to make this one. If there are any problems later, we don't have replacement parts. Even if there are problems with the machine tools shipped back this time, we can't repair them well..."
Academician Liu's voice became lower and lower, and finally he stopped talking.
But Lin Yimu understood what he meant.
Given the current relationship between Country Z and Country M, they can no longer purchase any instruments and equipment related to nuclear fusion research from there. The precision parts that He Xiuji had brought back from there before have already been used in the production of the tokamak. If any repairs are needed later, they will be powerless.
But Lin Yi Mu didn't want He Xiu Ji to take risks again. Although Country M didn't pursue the matter last time, Lin Yi Mu also had a general understanding of the follow-up after talking to He Xiu Ji on the phone.
On the surface, Country M did not pursue the issue of He Xiuji, but after dealing with the marching crowd, they still found some clues. It was only because He Xiuji arranged for his people to withdraw early and there were local Chinese gangs cleaning up the mess behind them that they did not catch him.
But the seeds of doubt have been planted. Recently, officials from relevant departments have been visiting the He Group's branch in Country M from time to time, and they have been focusing on minor, harmless issues.
However, according to He Xiuji, the other party can only do these small moves. The He Group's connections in Country M are not to be underestimated. What's more, some big chaebols also have some cooperation with the He Group, and some officials of Country M, even the president, have to give face to these big chaebols, so they can't hurt the He Group at all and can only cause them some minor troubles.
Despite this, Lin Yimu still didn't want He Xiuji to get involved in this kind of thing. He could help occasionally, but the machine tools and parts needed for scientific research could not be obtained in one or two times.
The bottom line is that Country Z is short of talent in this area, and even has backward technology, which is why it has always been strangled in this area.
In the past, Country Z was still a developing country, and it lagged behind those technologically advanced countries in many industries and technologies. Even if it finally figured out a new technology, those technologically advanced countries had already updated to the second and third generations. This made many scientific researchers feel very powerless, but they were still trying their best to catch up.
Now, they can finally keep pace with those countries in technological development, and are even showing signs of catching up. Those countries certainly don't want to see this.
They wish that Country Z would always be the one following behind them and could only pick up the scraps that slip through their fingers. Now that they see that Country Z is showing signs of surpassing them, they will of course spare no effort to suppress it.
Although they cannot deal with Country Z openly, they can use a soft knife to cut flesh.
Their strategy is to reduce the sales and transportation of precision instruments and spare parts needed in various fields to Country Z year by year.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu felt very uncomfortable and his brows were tightly furrowed.
After a long while, Lin Yimu suddenly said, "Academician Liu, have you ever thought about making these parts ourselves?"
When Academician Liu heard Lin Yimu's words, his eyes widened in surprise and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Comrade Lin Yimu, your idea is good, but don't you think we old guys haven't thought about it before?"
If those precision parts were so easy to make, all the researchers at the Academy of Engineering, who had always been suffering from being strangled by foreign countries, would roll up their sleeves and get to work, without Lin Yimu even having to bring it up.
Hearing this, Lin Yimu's eyes became more determined. "Academician Liu, I know I am definitely not the first person to propose this method, but I firmly believe that as long as we concentrate on research, we can definitely solve these problems."
"Back when our country didn't have those sophisticated instruments and parts, couldn't we have relied purely on hand-polishing to make what we needed? I don't believe that now that conditions are better, we are worse than our ancestors."
When Lin Yimu said this, his tone was cold but firm, and this was also his true inner thoughts.
I remember that when the country was in a state of disrepair, that group of scientists who worked hard in difficult situations were able to build nuclear bombs by hand without any instruments or help, and even had to face the occasional mischief from foreigners.
As for them, now the conditions are better and the equipment is more advanced, he doesn't believe that they can't make the necessary parts themselves.
After listening to Lin Yimu's words, Academician Liu also fell silent.
Yes, they survived such a difficult environment back then, so why can’t they succeed with such advanced technology now?
Although he was emotional, Academician Liu still had some rationality and said, "Xiao Mu, although what you said is very right, have you ever thought that the technical requirements now are different from those back then? Especially after several innovations in industrial technology, our talent reserves in this area are simply not enough to support us to conduct such experiments."
"Academician Liu, regardless of whether we have sufficient talent reserves, we need to give it a try. Even if we fail, we can leave more experience for future generations. Moreover, you also said that if our nuclear fusion experiment is successful, we will need more than just a tokamak. Do we want to be controlled by foreign countries for the rest of our lives?
By then, they will definitely ask for the core technology of controlled nuclear fusion, and we will have no choice but to agree to their request. By then, all the advantages we have now will vanish, or even be more severely constrained. I think none of us wants to see that scene. ”
Lin Yimu spoke in a cold voice about what might happen in the future, and this hypothesis made Academician Liu break out in a cold sweat.
Anyone from Country Z would not want to see the scene that Lin Yimu described.
Seeing Academician Liu's hesitation, Lin Yimu continued, "Academician Liu, don't you want us, Country Z, to be able to strangle their lifelines like those countries in the future? As long as controlled nuclear fusion succeeds, I think those arrogant countries will bow down to us, and even our positions will be reversed."
Lin Yimu's words completely aroused the passion in Academician Liu's heart. He looked at Lin Yimu excitedly, "Xiaomu, are you serious? Can controlled nuclear fusion really succeed? Can we really wait until that day?"
Looking at Academician Liu's excited expression, Lin Yimu nodded with certainty, "Yes, it will succeed."
