Chapter 415: Straight to the point
The conference room was closed after Wu Tong, Chu Hengyuan and his party entered. The entrance to the conference room was guarded by a full-time security department.
After looking around politely and nodding, Chu Hengyuan first asked Wu Tong to take a seat in the reserved seat at the top. Glancing at the secretary in charge of taking minutes who was already in place, Chu Hengyuan did not sit down either, but spoke directly and got to the point.
"Thank you for your cooperation and support for the organization. You have obeyed the dispatch and come to support this fusion research and development project. Everyone basically knows each other, so I won't reserve time for you to greet each other!"
“We are all fusion scientists, and we know best how arduous and important this project is.
The history of human development has always been accompanied by energy consumption, but the speed of our energy consumption is not constant. In the past one or two hundred years, the world's population has increased dramatically, and human energy consumption has increased dramatically. Now, more than 7 billion people on the earth still rely mainly on fossil energy such as oil and coal.
In the future, human beings need to continue to develop, and energy consumption will be even greater. The existing fossil energy on the earth will soon be exhausted. This time window is only 100 to 300 years. Especially in China, as the world's most populous country, accounting for one-fifth of the world's population base, when fossil energy is exhausted, where can we find a stable source of energy?
The Advantage Energy Project is extremely important to us. China will support the establishment of this fusion project at all costs. Now let me introduce to you the person in charge of this project, Chief Designer Wu Tong! "
Before the participants could react, Chu Hengyuan spoke again, "Mr. Wu Tong, you are the prover of the Goldbach conjecture, the NS equation, and the BSD conjecture, and the winner of the Wolf Prize for Mathematical Inspiration and the Abel Prize in Mathematics. This is Mr. Wu's outstanding contribution to mathematics in China and the world. In addition to mathematics, Mr. Wu Tong has also made outstanding achievements in material research and development and engineering, which are no less than his achievements in mathematics. You should all pay attention to the science some time ago. That is only part of Mr. Wu's research results.
In fact, the team led by Mr. Wu Tong has made the first R&D breakthrough in superconducting materials!"
For fusion projects, China is taking the path of magnetic confinement. The importance of superconducting materials is self-evident. Wu Tong's breakthrough in materials is equivalent to allowing the domestic fusion project to take a step further. We can even imagine the possibility of building a demonstration reactor.
China is still a group that obeys orders and commands. Although the higher-ups chose such a young scholar as the general manager of such a large project as the fusion project, Wu Tong's achievements and resume are dazzling and cannot be ignored. Due to the protection of Wu Tong by the higher-ups, the outside world has rarely seen any video materials of Wu Tong.
Therefore, not many people in the meeting room recognized Wu Tong before. However, when Wu Tong's achievements in mathematics were mentioned, they were instantly familiar with him. It was also the first time that they equated the Wu Tong represented by those achievements with the real Wu Tong himself, and formed a direct impression of him.
However, after all, Wu Tong's achievements were all outstanding in mathematics. Although everyone understood that if a top mathematician like Wu Tong were to move into the application field, it would be very likely, or it would definitely bring about great progress and surprise, but after hearing what Chu Hengyuan meant in the following words, most of the people were still shocked by what he said even though they were not shocked at all.
"Has there been a breakthrough in superconducting materials? What exactly is the breakthrough, and what kind of critical performance can be achieved at present?" Among the participants, there was an upright scientific researcher who was dedicated to technological progress, and he asked directly and anxiously!
Chu Hengyuan looked at Wu Tong with an inquiring look. Such a professional question required a personal response from Mr. Wu.
Chu Hengyuan and his troops built the platform for her. Wu Tong naturally would not lag behind and immediately gave a clear response in a deep voice: "At room temperature and pressure, 202K, a practical conductor has been formed." This was based on the initial research and development of superconducting materials, and they had further results in the later stage.
Once these data are released, people working on fusion will understand what they mean. In a fusion reaction, when the temperature is high enough, electrons will fly away from the nucleus, which is plasma. If a magnetic field is added, all charged particles will move around the magnetic lines of force - with a magnetic field, the particles are confined, and the stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the confinement.
Breakthrough superconducting materials mean that they can break through the current bottleneck limitations and have the foundation for a larger controllable magnetic field.
This kind of material data is far ahead of the world level. To be able to be brought out and discussed here, it must be verified and real data.
In a flash, all the participants were deeply moved. It was because the higher-ups had invested so much money to support this extremely young scholar, who to them was even a kid, to set up such a huge project. The progress of this superconducting material had surpassed the accumulation and hard work of many of their fusion teams over many years!
Wu Tong’s reputation as a genius is indeed extraordinary!
The breakthrough of top mathematicians in the application field is really admirable! With such achievements as a foundation, no one cares about Wu Tong's age!
Decades of hard work are not as good as a flash of inspiration. Who in scientific research does not understand the importance of talent? Experience is nothing more than the accumulation of proficiency that cannot be broken through. Who doesn't want to make a breakthrough and progress?
"Next, I will hand over the leadership of this meeting to Mr. Wu. The main purpose of today is to gather everyone to set the charter for this fusion project, the Jinwu Project!" After successfully leading Wu Tong out, Chu Hengyuan reduced his presence and sat down directly next to Wu Tong, shifting the focus of the meeting to Wu Tong. He, as the representative of the support from above, escorted Wu Tong and presided over the meeting.
As Chu Hengyuan finished speaking, the participants turned their eyes and stared at Wu Tong. Although they were dispatched by their superiors to participate in the project, if Wu Tong could not show his true ability and convince them, and wanted them to burn themselves out to make Wu Tong famous, that would definitely be impossible.
If Wu Tong didn't have real skills in the field of fusion, don't blame them for turning the table in protest.
On the contrary, if Wu Tong showed his real ability and convinced them, they would be willing to help Wu Tong, working day and night and even risking their own lives.
They are fusion people, they are so serious!
Among them, only Lu Xiao's eyes were filled with real expectation and a smile of foresight. He was very optimistic about the project personally initiated by President Wu, and was ready to witness a miracle!
