Chapter 378 Fusion
Every second of the controlled nuclear fusion experiment is burning money, and just starting it casually 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. Wu Tong will respect and wait for the above decision.
I want to compare whether she only focuses on the field of scientific research, or takes a bird's-eye view, sees it more comprehensively and specifically. 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 at any time!" 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 technology of future scientific and technological revolution. It can be said that whoever masters controlled nuclear fusion will surely take the lead 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 led by the European Union in technology.
In order to keep pace with the international community and not fall behind in the controlled nuclear fusion team, in January 2003, China received approval from above 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, and neighboring countries, marking the entry of the ITER project into the preparation stage for its full implementation.
Every year, China invests large sums of money in ITER for research and development support, but the Chinese people still have very little say in it.
Just like the other side of the sea, which has not pinned all its hopes on TIER, China will certainly not put all its eggs in one basket. Research on controlled nuclear fusion is also ongoing in China. However, the results have been dismal so far and have failed to keep up with the international advanced level. China 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, like a huge mouth of the abyss, swallowing up countless funds and causing a lot of complaints!
The country's annual investment costs in this regard, when added up, can be said to be an astronomical figure!
However, China cannot afford to lose the possibility of losing its voice in the next track, so it grits its teeth and supports. Now, Ms. Wu said that she is willing to do controlled nuclear fusion. What does the higher-ups mean?
This issue is probably no less serious than an atomic bomb explosion for the higher-ups. Even the higher-ups would probably have to think it over carefully and might not be able to sit down and make a decision right away.
It is true that Mr. Wu is very important, and controlled nuclear fusion is equally important. Controlled nuclear fusion still needs to wait for another fifty years, so the higher-ups may not agree immediately. Mr. Wu has stepped into this bottomless pit!
But, in the same way, if we ask who can still provide hope for controlled nuclear fusion within this century, I'm afraid the higher-ups know very well that only Mr. Wu is the most likely person!
Chu Hengyuan smiled bitterly, "Boss Wu, this is a question that they can't refuse, but they can't make up their minds about! I guess, before and after the New Year, no one will be able to rest."
However, this cannot be blamed on Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu is also considering the country. This is a sector that must be faced. Mr. Wu is willing, interested and capable of researching. They should actually be thankful that they have the ability and willingness to research.
However, Mr. Wu is only 19 years old after all, and they are also worried that Mr. Wu will fall into the 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 problems left behind by Wu Tong, Wu Tong, who said goodbye to Chu Hengyuan and returned home, was much happier. After waiting for so long, the child finally came 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 the project with great effort, Wu Tong's best way to relax is to spend time with her family. She stayed at home for three days without doing anything but resting and spending time with her family. She was very happy and relaxed.
However, in stark contrast to Wu Tong, meetings were quietly held above the problems that Wu Tong had left behind. There was no doubt that they would pursue controlled nuclear fusion. If they did not want to be left behind by the world's progress, they would definitely pursue controlled nuclear fusion and artificial sun research.
Whether to let Wu Tong intervene or not, before Wu Tong, no matter which sector she intervened in, as long as she was willing, from aerospace, to land-based missiles, to ships and aircraft carriers, they were all exciting and shocking achievements. In fact, Wu Tong was willing to touch this sector and put aside 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 the 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 heat, photoelectricity and photochemistry.
The energy of the sun comes from 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 times the energy of chemical combustion. 1 kg of hydrogen atoms fuse into 0.993 kg of helium atoms, releasing energy equivalent to 4,000 tons of oil and 6,000 tons of coal!
From a technological perspective, looking at history and the experience 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 will also master the future!
Controlling the sun and controlling the future is a temptation that no one can resist.
"Controlled nuclear fusion has been around for a long time, but there has been no significant progress. In fact, we have invested too much in the ITER project and played an extraordinary role. We are very clear about the value of this technology and are willing to invest more in it.
But the most critical 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 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 that President Wu wanted to do this before. Now that President Wu has brought it up, how confident is she that she can achieve controlled nuclear fusion?
Is it a spur of the moment action, or are there really specific rules? ·······
