Chapter 399 Ling Yun
They will do their best and fight to the death. They can afford to lose! Mr. Wu's speed will not let them delay for several years and fail. The progress of superconducting materials alone has surpassed the international lead by several years, widening the gap. They have enough time for trial and error!
If they win, they will overtake others and finally be able to take the lead in the next track, allowing others to catch up with them. They can also use this opportunity to accumulate sufficient resources and help the domestic infrastructure economy take off rapidly. No matter how you calculate it, this is a good deal.
Mr. Wu Tong, you have given them enough confidence and the foundation for achievements. Even if they fail, it can only be said that the time is not ripe. They have accumulated experience. There are many failed scientific research projects in China. We cannot put all the burden on Mr. Wu. They must have a clear position on this point.
Moreover, judging by Mr. Wu's consistent code of conduct, their chances of success are still quite high! Mr. Wu will not apply for inappropriate projects casually!
"Mr. Wu, we have the approval and full support from above. I will take the lead in terms of personnel, funding, and other aspects, and fully cooperate with your research!" After obtaining permission from above, Chu Hengyuan personally drove to Peking University and personally delivered the news of the project approval to Wu Tong.
"Thank you for your trust. I will live up to your trust and go all out to help us enter the era of controlled nuclear fusion as soon as possible!" Wu Tong was so happy to be trusted and felt a strong sense of responsibility. She promised word for word. She would make the results worthy of this trust and expectation.
"My superiors asked me to tell you a message. Just go for it. We will accept any result. We accept the possibility of trial and error, but you should still focus on yourself!" For them, project failure is not terrible, but they absolutely cannot sacrifice the possibility of a top talent like Wu Tong because of a project.
At present, there are more than one scientific researcher at home and abroad who thinks that the potential of the Tokamak device is about to be tapped to its limit. As for where the next step in the future lies, the current international mainstream does not have a direction for breakthrough.
China is also paying close attention to the field of controlled nuclear fusion. Many scholars believe that the domestic fusion field should be enriched, which has brought a very positive impact on the development of the domestic nuclear fusion industry. This opportunity should be used to strengthen exchanges with foreign universities... Nanhua has actually proposed the possibility of introducing stellarator technology from overseas.
Wu Tong wanted to start with the stellarator device, which was a huge opportunity and challenge for them, "This is a brand new path!" Ever since Wu Tong proposed controlled nuclear fusion, or as the leader of the scientific research department, the domestic research and development funds for controlled nuclear fusion and the support funds for international controlled nuclear fusion were all approved by him.
He is not unfamiliar with controlled nuclear fusion, and even knows it very well.
Although the Tokamak device is on the rise internationally, China has also followed suit and increased its research in this area. However, in fact, China has also developed stellarator devices earlier.
In fact, the domestic fusion research started as early as the 1950s, almost in sync with the international progress. Since the early 1950s, countries such as the European Union and the Soviet Union have been actively conducting research in this area in the hope of achieving controlled fusion reactions in a short period of time, so these studies were kept confidential. However, they soon realized the difficulty of this goal and began to publish some research results.
Through this contact, the accumulation of domestic fusion field also laid the foundation. By the mid-1960s, China began to build the stellarator device "Lingyun".
However, the magnetic field structure of this type of device is very complex. Due to the limitation of computing power at that time, it could not be designed by digital calculation. Instead, a resistance network was used to simulate the magnetic field configuration and design the magnet.
By the early 1970s, the magnets had been successfully manufactured and, because Room 14 had been moved to the Third Line, they were shipped directly to Leshan, Sichuan, where they were installed.
After the device was successfully installed, an electron gun was used to emit electron beams in a vacuum chamber, and a fluorescent screen was used to receive them to study electron orbits and magnetic field structures.
... Coupled with the special period at that time, Ling Yun ultimately failed and was defeated.
The results showed that due to the high precision requirements for processing and installation, the actual stray magnetic field was too large. Although the device was later stopped from being debugged, the research methods adopted and the understanding of this device were consistent with those of foreign countries at that time.
But now, Wu Tong's approach to restarting the stellarator device has undoubtedly reaffirmed that the stellarator device is one of the most likely devices in the world to achieve controllable and clean nuclear fusion energy.
"Ling Yun's ideas back then were very good!" Wu Tong's authority has been raised to the highest level. She can freely access the fields she wants to research and the confidential information in China. Therefore, Wu Tong understands what Chu Hengyuan is talking about. "We will continue the path our predecessors have taken and keep moving forward!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wu. If you have any instructions next, just tell me! In addition, the controlled nuclear fusion project involves a lot of people and a wide range of contacts. You must be prepared for external leaks!" Of course, Mr. Wu only needs to be mentally prepared to be targeted by hostile parties. Other security protection will be undertaken by the security department alone.
If they let Mr. Wu face danger, it would be their real dereliction of duty. Chu Hengyuan pointed out in advance that all matters involving Wu Tong should be explained to Wu Tong.
"I have already prepared for everything, but my family?" Since she started researching fighter materials, Wu Tong never thought that she could stay out of it. She was not worried about herself, but she was a little worried about whether it would affect her family!
"It's okay. We are also keeping an eye on your family. Your family members basically move around near Peking University. This area has the most police force and security deployment, so there will be no problem with security! If there really is a special targeted operation, it will be more with you!" It is not easy to train a successful task force nowadays. Those who know how to calculate will not waste such an important chess piece on someone who is not the main target.
Therefore, the person who is truly in danger is Mr. Wu himself.
However, the actions against Mr. Wu were also the most difficult for them to plan. They had already sent out more than a batch of tentative actions, whether it was the unscrupulous Internet sour chicken public intellectuals who were lured to expose Wu Tong online, or the private approach actions, all of them were caught in one fell swoop under the strict defense of the security department who was waiting for the opportunity.
Mr. Wu basically stays within a safe enough range and never wanders around. This makes it very easy for the security department to carry out protection operations and facilitates the security department's guard arrangements.
