Luyang, Science Island, EAST Project Research Institute.
Chen Mingji looked at the red-headed document in his hand with an expressionless face, and then glanced at the two people sitting in his office, his face darkening.
If there was anyone in the country that he didn't want to see, the young man in front of him was definitely among them.
Although the two have basically never interacted with each other, the competition for the right to speak in the domestic field of controllable nuclear fusion is, to use a phrase from mythology, called the "Tao Zheng".
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two talkers in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.
He has been deeply involved in the domestic field of controllable nuclear fusion for decades. Now if someone comes and wants to take away his position, I am afraid that no one will agree.
What about Nobel Prize winners?
Xu Chuan didn't pay too much attention to the other person's expression as if he wanted to eat someone, and said with a smile: "I probably knew that you wouldn't agree, so I went directly to the above to apply."
"Whether it's the EAST device or the researchers and engineers from Luyang Science Island, I need them all."
"The red-headed document in your hand has been written very clearly. The energy judiciary has also agreed. You will fully cooperate with my research work."
After a pause, he continued: "During the cooperation period, I will be responsible for the wages of scientific researchers and equipment-related losses."
"Of course, I welcome you to come too. For academician-level scholars, I have additional subsidies."
Chen Mingji's mouth twitched, who the hell cares about your subsidy!!!
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart: "Is this a matter of wages and equipment losses? You have taken away the personnel and equipment. What will happen to the EAST fusion project? Should we still do it?"
Xu Chuan shrugged and said, "Just pause for a while."
After a slight pause, he continued: "And, to be honest, with the current progress of EAST, it doesn't really matter whether we continue or not."
"On the route of tokamak devices, Daybreak is already at the forefront. We have solved a series of core problems, found materials suitable for the first wall, and started the construction project of the demonstration reactor."
"In contrast, EAST's progress is a bit too slow."
"If it is a stellarator or other route, it may be retained for further attempts, but for tokamak, I think it is better to concentrate our efforts and prioritize the breakthrough of the Qixia demonstration reactor project."
Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Chen Mingji wanted to roar.
What does it mean that it doesn’t matter if you continue or not? What does it mean that the progress of EAST is too slow?
Looking at the world, EAST is also the top equipment in tokamak devices, right? Why is it meaningless?
But before he could roar, he heard another piece of news that shocked him.
First wall material?
solved?
How can this be?
Is the first wall material that easy to solve?
This is a century-old problem that has been studied around the world for at least several decades, and has been explored since the last century.
So many scientists and researchers have spent decades and hundreds of years without solving a problem. You have solved it in two or three years?
Is it a fantasy?
Chen Mingji stared at the young man in front of him, trying to see any flaw in his eyes or face.
However, for Xu Chuan, this had no effect at all.
He continued indifferently: "No matter what, the order from above has been issued. Whether it is your EAST, the Southwest Nuclear Industry, or the Qingbei side, they will fully cooperate with the Qixia Demonstration Reactor Project."
"It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree. In short, I want both the people and the equipment."
Hearing these words, Chen Mingji almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
It’s enough to take away most of the funds and resources in the field of controllable nuclear fusion from him. Now, are you going to take away even the last thing from EAST?
"Are you going a little too far? Funds in the field of controllable nuclear fusion have already been gathered towards you, but now you want to take away even the last bits of stuff from major research institutes?"
With a gloomy face, Chen Mingji stared at Xu Chuan and asked.
He was really unwilling.
After working in the field of controllable nuclear fusion for so many years, is there nothing left in the end?
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "EAST is still yours. I never thought about taking it away. What I did was just to complete the construction and ignition of the demonstration reactor as soon as possible and realize controllable nuclear fusion technology.
."
"You can think of it as outsourcing. We are short of manpower in the controllable nuclear fusion project, and some of the problems we encounter need to be outsourced to you to solve."
"Of course, in terms of credit, if you can really solve the problem, I will also report it to you."
Chen Mingji stared at Xu Chuan, his face gloomy and uncertain.
He wanted to refuse, but the documents in his hand made it impossible for him to refuse.
In the end, he could only snort coldly.
Xu Chuan didn't care either. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, the matter had become a foregone conclusion.
He didn't even need to come here in person, it was enough for Gao Hongming to come with the documents approved by the superiors.
However, he still came in person. On the one hand, he was sincere, but on the other hand, he also needed to investigate the situation of the EAST device on site to see if some experiments could be transferred here.
Although EAST is much inferior to Daybreak, it is the number one tokamak device in China after all, and its performance can be said to be quite excellent.
In the absence of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials and mathematical control models of plasma turbulence, EAST achieved high-density plasma operation for 450 seconds.
If these two are replaced, the running time can be further improved.
This will be of great help in solving various problems in the process of controllable nuclear fusion.
"By the way, there is one more thing. I need detailed information and performance parameters of the EAST device. I will modify it later to better match and adapt to Daybreak to complete more experiments."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sitting on the sofa, Xu Chuan took a sip of tea and continued.
Hearing this, Chen Mingji was completely anxious and quickly replied: "Reform? Why! EAST is our hard work, why do you want to reform it when you say it will be reformed! Who knows what you will do, if EAST is destroyed by you
On hand…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chuan waved his hand and interrupted.
"Don't worry so much. If something goes wrong with EAST, the responsibility will naturally fall on me."
"Besides, don't think that I will be so careful about using the EAST device to retaliate against you. I don't have that much free time to waste on it."
After a pause, he added: "Even if you don't agree, it's of no use. The above approval document is in your hands."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingji's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he looked uncomfortable.
Finally, he snorted coldly, threw the instruction document in his hand on the desk, stood up and left his office.
On the side, assistant Mo Hongyun smiled and said: "Academician Xu, don't be surprised. I will sort out the data and performance parameters related to the EAST device and give them to you."
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble you."
........
Xu Chuan did not stay in Luyang for long. After obtaining the data and performance parameters related to the EAST device, as well as the specific situation of the researchers controlling the EAST project, Xu Chuan returned to Jinling.
Under the strong mobilization force of the approval document, well-known domestic controllable nuclear fusion institutions, including Luyang Research Island, Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics, Ninth Institute of Engineering, Peking University State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology, etc., have temporarily suspended operations.
After completing his own project, he transferred manpower to the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base one after another.
For Xu Chuan, this is a very good thing.
With enough manpower support, I believe the remaining problems will be solved soon.
He didn't waste time. After these people arrived, he quickly assigned the previous problems.
As for the confidentiality issue, there is no need to worry about this. These later researchers have already been initially investigated by the security department.
The remaining confidentiality work can be done slowly.
And until it is determined clearly, they will basically have no access to the core of the Dawn Fusion Device.
All you can do is solve the tasks assigned to you.
At least that's the case until the confidentiality issue is resolved.
Once the investigation is clear, you can gradually get to the core.
........
With the addition of this new force, the progress of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project will change almost every day.
Although it will take some time to adapt to the environment, these researchers and engineers themselves are people working in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.
Before coming to Jinling, they had worked in major research institutions for a long time and had a lot of experience in their minds.
More than half of the problems that were once listed in the document can be found by different researchers to continue to advance.
Compared with the scientific researchers of Daybreak Research Institute, these new forces cover a quite wide range of research.
Of course, this is probably a huge force that is unique in the world.
Looking around the world, I am afraid that no country except China can recruit all domestic research institutions to work together for a project.
At this point, I'm afraid the United States may not be able to do it either.
After all, their respective national mechanisms are there.

PS: The second update is asking for a monthly ticket. It was originally a 4,000-word chapter. When I checked later, I found that there were some problems with the last part. I can only post the first 3,000-word part first, and I will make up for the rest tomorrow.
There will be three updates tomorrow, please vote for me!
