Chapter 479: Retreat
Chu Hengyuan approved the project execution application on the spot and held a qualitative research and verification meeting early the next morning.
It is not to verify the feasibility of Mr. Wu, but to let several masters know that Mr. Wu Tong's actions should not be compared with Mr. Wu. Otherwise, with Mr. Wu's speed, he has not started the project yet, but we have already produced specific and surpassing results, which will be a big joke!
The people who could appear in this conference room were definitely not ordinary people. Some were from the Ministry of Science and Technology, some were from the military R&D, and some were experts from the Academy of Engineering and the aerospace field.
"Regarding the application of controlled fusion miniaturization technology in the aerospace field, as well as the feasibility of technology and the application for project establishment" A pile of thick meeting materials had just been distributed to the people present. The eye-catching title made many people frown.
Someone who was quick to speak could not help but speak directly and frankly: "Who is so proud of seeing President Wu come up with a controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor? Everyone knows that miniaturized controlled fusion represents unlimited energy in the aerospace field and the fundamentals of interstellar travel. But who thinks that he is President Wu Tong? He can do it just by saying so. Aren't you afraid that he is just trying to defraud the funds?"
What is this plan that Chu wants them to discuss? I wonder what they are busy with? Wu Tong Wu has done a great project in a short period of time. Although they cannot make a breakthrough in technology in a short period of time, it does not affect them to step up their learning. They can extend it based on Wu Tong's improvement, right?
You can say they are just copying others, but if they don’t have a solid foundation, they won’t be able to learn such advanced theories and techniques! They are already good at what they have learned, so why should they be picky?
Although this materials supplier gave a very exaggerated description of the application of small controlled fusion reactors in the aerospace field, and also gave a relatively professional description of the related Hall thrusters, and also had a considerable amount of argumentation, the possibility of realizing the technology cannot be achieved by the exaggerated description in the report!
Those who want to take advantage of Mr. Wu's controllable fusion and create gimmicks to get funding all have ulterior motives!
How can we guarantee that miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion, a technology that has no concrete theory yet, is an extremely advanced concept and has a slim chance of realization, can be realized?
"What nonsense! The country's funds cannot be wasted by such people!" If they didn't have some moral integrity, there would be people who would say he is a black sheep! We must resolutely put an end to this, because a bad apple spoils the whole pot of soup! Mr. Wu's sudden rise has put great pressure on these old predecessors. While they are proud of the country's rise, they are also stepping up their learning to catch up with the progress. Otherwise, everyone will become a freeloader, and how can they have time to play house with some insignificant people here!
"Looking only at specific impulse, electric propulsion is indeed stronger than chemical propulsion, but do you know how much thrust is needed to send a spacecraft into space? Which laboratory has achieved plasma confinement efficiency exceeding 3,000 seconds of specific impulse? Before Mr. Wu built the Jinwu demonstration reactor, plasma confinement and various controlled fusion reactions were still just boiling water, with no progress achieved!"
"In the current laboratory, the power of electric propulsion has just reached 200KW, and the total thrust does not exceed 10N. Even if this data is increased by a hundred or a thousand times, what can it do? The thrust is not enough to send an egg into outer space, and you want to send a spacecraft? You don't even dare to dream about it."
The controlled fusion demonstration reactor has been built, but it does not mean that the miniaturization of controlled fusion can be easily achieved! Otherwise, there would not be the curse that controlled fusion is always 50 years away!
In the future, controlled fusion may be able to achieve the pursuit of miniaturization. After all, the earliest nuclear fission batteries were as big as a house. However, after generations of technological updates and the passage of time, the miniaturization problem was finally solved. Now, the smallest nuclear fission battery is as big as a fifty-cent coin.
This is a technological advancement that requires time to settle and accumulate, not just empty promises!
Who is making such big promises to the scientific research community by using the Jinwu demonstration reactor?
You've blown the cow out of shape, and you still expect it to go to heaven? It's faster to blow it up!
"Ahem..., the idea of this application report is a bit ahead of its time, but miniaturization is still possible. The difficulties are not completely unsolvable. It just takes some time!" Someone glanced at Minister Chu's expression and felt it was a bit strange, so he couldn't help but try to smooth things over.
After all, they have had many experiences of being slapped in the face recently, so they should be more careful with what they say!
"Knock knock..." After listening to the angry complaints of some people in silence for a while, Chu Hengyuan tapped the table lightly, "I have approved this application, it was submitted by Chief Designer Wu!"
As the chief designer who created the Jinwu Demonstration Pile, she was talented enough for the whole world to know, and he didn't need to elaborate on her. She also had enough ability to make them trust her, she could do it!
"I'm calling everyone together just to let you learn some ideas and thoughts, and by the way, let you have a brief understanding of Mr. Wu's current topic!" Avoid what should be avoided, don't waste financial resources, time and energy!
Don't go to him to do controlled fusion research. No one should rely on Mr. Wu's halo to get funding and do useless work! Mr. Wu has also really raised his audit standards! He has tried his best to lower the audit requirements relative to Mr. Wu!
The conference room suddenly became quiet, as if time had stopped at that moment and you could hear a pin drop.
"Haha... I was wondering why this writing style looks so familiar!" After a long while, some people who were cautious and didn't speak just now were glad to speak up. Fortunately, they were a step slower, otherwise they would have been embarrassed again!
Mr. Wu, that is a miracle that can always make the impossible possible. Who dares to comment on that? It is hard to find in the world! That person has already stood at the height they look up to, almost like a god!
"Since it is Mr. Wu who is in charge, it will be easy to get. We are waiting for Mr. Wu's good news!" Avoid, avoid, aerospace topics, they have to avoid them recently, otherwise they will compete with Mr. Wu in R&D speed. Are they tired of living? Challenge that god? With their old arms and legs, how many times can they endure such trouble?
············
In the laboratory, Wu Tong stared at the waveform jumping on the instrument, his brows full of calmness.
The waveform on the oscilloscope was very strange. According to normal calculations, the movement trajectory of the plasma should present a regular spiral shape, but at this moment strange fluctuations appeared on the screen, as if it was interfered with by something.
However, Wu Tong's expression was full of anticipation. Her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, calling up another set of data. The only sounds in the laboratory were the low hum of the vacuum pump and her shallow breathing.
