Of course, they must participate in such a project and leave their mark of Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics in the colorful history!
As for the reactions of other parties, they are not the focus of their attention. In any case, the iron must be hard to forge. The fact that the higher-ups invited them proves that the efforts and progress of the Southwest Institute have been seen and recognized by the higher-ups.
The South China Institute of Plasma Physics, which is equivalent to the Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics, also received such a task invitation.
As a newly appointed leader of a research team that has made significant progress and even produced data comparable to the best international research teams, the South China Institute of Plasma Physics is experiencing a period of high morale and enthusiasm. With the 13th Five-Year Plan already finalized, they are poised to continue their efforts, develop more mature technologies, and move toward building a large-scale demonstration reactor.
We are not involved in the field of controlled nuclear fusion and have no ambition to develop a demonstration reactor!
However, they regarded the invitation with some disbelief. The decision to increase the focus on controlled nuclear fusion and establish a demonstration reactor was a decision that logically necessitated the South China Institute of Plasma Physics (SCIPP) to shoulder the key responsibility of empowering the future with fusion. However, judging by the scope of the invitation, it was clear that they were to serve as supporters, not leaders.
Academician Wan Funian, the leader of this team, felt a burning sensation in his chest. Who had usurped their leading position? In the field of controlled nuclear fusion research and development in China, was there anyone with a better record than their EAST, the Eastern Torus Superconducting Tokamak Experimental Nuclear Fusion Facility?
If their progress had led to higher-ups supporting controlled nuclear fusion and issuing a demonstration reactor mandate, then even if the technology wasn't yet fully developed, they would have demonstrated the spirit of their predecessors, overcome all difficulties, and bravely tackled this enormous challenge. However, now, all of this was happening to benefit others, something Wan Funian found unacceptable.
He has always been proud that their progress is at the forefront internationally and domestically!
"Did the Southwest Research Institute make some major breakthrough ahead of us?" He suppressed the swirling thoughts and the intense emotions surging within him, unable to stop asking. Logically, as a veteran, he shouldn't have done something that violated confidentiality regulations. However, he felt that with his authority, he should have been able to get some information and explore it.
"I'm sorry, Academician Wan, we have nothing to tell you until you have confirmed your intention to join the project and signed all the agreement procedures!" The member responsible for the security and confidentiality of the South China Institute of Plasma Physics righteously rejected Wan Funian's inquiry.
They are the elite members of the security department. They are well aware of the importance of this mission and will not reveal anything that should not be said. The confidentiality regulations are their code of conduct that they strictly implement.
"Academician Wan, on behalf of the higher-ups, I'm asking you if you are willing to send an organization with experienced controlled nuclear fusion members to Shangjing to participate in this major project?" To be honest, this was already a sign of respect from the higher-ups for Academician Wan Funian. They came here and asked Academician Wan to do the mobilization and preparation work for the secondment, without bypassing him.
Otherwise, the higher-ups might simply issue a transfer order, without even considering the attitude of Academician Wan. Of course, if Academician Wan doesn't understand, then the higher-ups will most likely take the latter step. In the face of the fundamental issues of national progress, everything must give way to China's rise and progress.
Even though it was as unpleasant as a flaming fire, Wan Funian was no fool. He understood the complexities involved; his superiors had already given him enough respect. If he refused to cooperate, he would be ungrateful. If the South China Plasma Research Institute didn't participate in such a major event, it would be a true industry joke.
So, no matter how much he felt dissatisfied or wronged, Wan Funian put it all aside. He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, regained his composure, and nodded in confirmation. Of course they had to participate, even if they didn't have a dominant position. If they didn't participate in such a major project, they would be truly out of touch with the higher-ups and the country. The higher-ups would definitely not be happy to see them splitting up into small groups.
Therefore, cooperation is their only choice.
"We will definitely cooperate. I will personally lead the team and mobilize the most elite members of the South China Institute of Plasma Physics to go to Shangjing to participate in this major project!" Wan Funian promised word for word. He wanted to go to Shangjing in person to see who had taken the lead of their South China Institute of Plasma Physics. If he couldn't convince him with facts, don't blame him, Old Wan, for taking away the leader's position!
Lao Wan is just such a picky person. If he wants to subdue someone and convince him with facts, he will just act as his assistant, bow down to him, and execute his orders without hesitation.
"Okay, thank you Academician Wan for your understanding and cooperation. Please cooperate with us..." The two security department members responsible for the connection began to sign and arrange the confidentiality process. This was their main task. As for Academician Wan looking unconvinced? No matter. When we get to Shangjing, that person will naturally teach Academician Wan what it means to be better than others!
Their security department should be the clearest witness to the rise of that glorious figure. They can only say that if there is a miracle in the world, it must be that person, the Chinese miracle!
There are several such connections in the country. Compared with these big guys who came to invite us in person, the others were all dispatched with a piece of paper, and rushed to Beijing after receiving the secondment notice. These members who were able to receive invitations and dispatches were all members who had undergone sufficient screening and review by the security department and were absolutely trustworthy, and only then could they participate in this major project.
As for those who appear to be full of righteousness and morality on a daily basis, but are actually deeply pro-Western, spiritually foreign, or even slightly inappropriate in their words and deeds, or have inappropriate relationships with others... these are all options that should be completely eliminated. Domestically, only scientific researchers who are sufficiently patriotic and loyal to the country are given full trust.
The preparatory work was carried out in an orderly and rapid manner under the tight schedule. Wu Tong, who was at the center of the entire ripple, was the one who threw the stone that caused the ripple to spread. She could foresee the movement in the country, but did not have much time to waste. She officially started the attack on the first wall material of the reactor, and presided over the continued optimization of the research and development of superconducting wire materials.
As things progressed to this point, Wu Tong felt that the timing was right, and it was time to urgently research the team and clearly explain their ultimate goal.
