Give it your all, a last-ditch effort. They can afford to lose! Boss Wu's speed won't let them drag on for years and fail. Their progress in superconducting materials alone has already surpassed the international lead by several years, widening the gap. They have plenty of time for trial and error!
If they win, they will overtake others and finally 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 results. Even if they fail, it can only be said that the time is not ripe. They have accumulated experience. There are so 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 past behavior, their chances of success are quite high! Mr. Wu would never casually apply for an inappropriate project!
"Mr. Wu, we have the approval from above and we fully support you. I will take the lead in terms of personnel, funding, and other aspects and will fully cooperate with your research!" After getting the permission from above, Chu Hengyuan personally drove to Peking University and personally delivered the news of the project approval to Wu Tong.
"I thank you for your trust. I will live up to your expectations and give it my all to help us enter the era of controlled nuclear fusion as soon as possible!" Wu Tong, feeling happy at the trust and filled with a strong sense of responsibility, promised word for word. She would make sure her results lived up to this trust and expectation.
"The higher-ups asked me to tell you a message: Just go for it. We will accept any outcome. We accept the possibility of trial and error, but you should still prioritize yourself!" For them, project failure is not scary, but they absolutely cannot afford to sacrifice a top talent like Wu Tong because of a project.
At present, there are actually more than one foresighted scientific researchers at home and abroad who believe that the potential of the tokamak device is about to be tapped to its peak. Where will the next step of the future lie? In fact, the current international mainstream has no 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 very positive influence to the development of the domestic nuclear fusion industry. They should take this opportunity 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 development of tokamaks has become popular internationally, China has also followed suit and increased its research in this area. However, in fact, China has also developed stellarator devices before.
Fusion research in China actually began as early as the 1950s, almost in sync with international progress. From the early 1950s, countries like China, the European Union, and the Soviet Union actively pursued research in this area, hoping to achieve a controlled fusion reaction quickly. Consequently, these efforts were kept secret. However, they soon realized the difficulty of this goal and began publishing some of their 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 using digital calculations. 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 Front, they were sent 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.
...In addition, due to the special period at that time, Lingyun ultimately failed and was defeated.
The results showed that due to the high precision requirements of processing and installation, the actual stray magnetic field was too large. Although the device was later discontinued for debugging, 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 of 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 ideals back then were excellent!" Wu Tong's authority had been raised to the highest level. She had free access to any area of research she wished to pursue, including confidential domestic information. Therefore, Wu Tong understood exactly what Chu Hengyuan was talking about. "We must continue the path our predecessors have taken and forge ahead!"
"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 has 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 the enemy. The rest of the security protection will be undertaken solely by the security department.
If they let Mr. Wu face danger, that would be their real dereliction of duty. Chu Hengyuan pointed out in advance that anything involving Wu Tong needed to be explained to Wu Tong.
"I've already prepared for any eventuality, but what about my family?" Ever since she began researching fighter jet materials, Wu Tong hadn't considered the possibility of staying out of it. She wasn't worried about herself, but she was a bit concerned about whether it would affect her family.
"It's okay. We are also keeping an eye on your family. Your family basically moves around near Peking University. This area has the most police forces and security deployments, so there will be no problem with security! If there really is a special targeted operation, it will mostly be 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 really in danger is Mr. Wu himself.
However, the actions targeting Mr. Wu were also the most difficult for them to plan. They had already launched more than a series of tentative actions, whether it was the unscrupulous online trolls who were tricked into exposing Wu Tong online, or private attempts to approach him, all of which were caught in a net by the security department's well-prepared and cautious defense.
Mr. Wu basically stays within a safe enough range and never wanders around. This makes it easier for the security department to carry out protection operations and facilitates the security department's guard arrangements.
