Chapter 1481

Yangtze River Delta city cluster.

The headquarters of the aiib.

After listening to the report on the other end of the video phone, President Zhou, sitting in the office chair, said oddly with an expression after thinking for a moment.

"Second generation controlled fusion Are you sure that's what he said? "

"I'm very sure," Zhong Ziyu said softly, nodding his head in the holographic screen. "Although academician Lu is not the most suitable person for the chairman of the board, his proposal on the second generation controlled nuclear fusion really moved me. In the past half century, East Asia's electric power has basically no substantial development except from its strong growth to its bloated growth. Although the second generation controlled fusion sounds strange, I think it can bring us at least some different changes whether it can be done or not. "

The index finger touched lightly on the table and Zhou Xing asked in a long, deep voice.

"What about the risk?"

"The only risk is technical, but even if the worst happens, it won't be too bad for people to accept," Zhong continued

There was a long silence in the office.

President Zhou, sitting at his desk, seemed to be in deep thought, and didn't say a word for a while.

After about five minutes, he finally raised his eyelids as if waking up, looked at Zhong Ziyu in the holographic window, and opened his mouth.

"You did a good job."

"Now that the risk is acceptable, I won't hold you to account for your presumptuous behavior."

"But you remember, it's a precondition to keep East Asia power independent. If it is found that he intends to integrate the shares of several companies he holds, and lobby other shareholders to complete the merger and reorganization You have to stop him. "

Zhong Ziyu nodded slightly.

"I'll do that."

The video call is over.

Hang up the long shoulder of the week line that hung up the phone to loosen slightly, lean back on the office chair.

Academician Lu airborne East Asia Power Chairman

And on the board of directors threw a second-generation controllable fusion technology such a heavy bomb.

Although the risk is indeed controllable, every step of the development to the present is beyond his expectation.

"It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse..."

Some raised his index finger and pressed his brow, looked at the ceiling and said a word to himself. Suddenly, he sat up straight from the desk chair, and his index finger lightly clicked at the corner of the desk.

The light blue holographic panel reappears and the video phone window opens again.

Looking at the smart assistant in the suspended window, he said in a clear voice.

"Call the Pan Asian cooperation headquarters."

"I have something important to talk to President Li."

……

For the Pan Asian people, this month is definitely the most turbulent two months in the past two years.

First, flight n-177 was hijacked, and then the space station Tianzhou was hit, and then academician Lu pretended to be dead. All the member countries of Pan Asian cooperation celebrated his return.

However, if there is anything more surprising to Pan Asian people than academician Lu's "Resurrection", it is probably the project of the second generation of controllable nuclear fusion.

Since the old ice stick woke up a century ago, it has entered the forefront of the academic field as soon as it woke up, and the challenge object is the insurmountable natural barrier of the second generation controlled nuclear fusion

After hearing the news, many people's first reaction was muddled.

As for the second reaction, it's still muddled

Gossip section of LSPM forum.

As the only academic exchange area without a threshold, most of the discussion and exchange here are non professional science lovers, or students studying in the first and second tier universities.

Because of the large population of Pan Asian cooperation, even if the forum itself is very small, the daily traffic is not small.

As an academic exchange platform designed by academician Lu himself in those days, this topic naturally cannot circumvent LSPM, the academic paradise on the Internet.

Almost as soon as the news was announced, the voice of discussion occupied the whole gossip board. Some of them are joking and gossiping, while others are discussing academic issues seriously.

But no matter what is discussed, people's emotions are highly consistent

"Second generation controlled fusion? Isn't he joking? "

"Didn't the chief engineer of East Asia electric power say it at the lecture of Jinling university some time ago? We are at least 50 years away from the realization of the second generation of Controlled Fusion! "

"50 years It would have been 150 years for academician Lu since he was dormant. "

"That's not the case After all, for a monster like academician Lu, it's not a big deal to have a thorough understanding of the technology over the past 100 years. After all, Pangu was the chief designer when the reactor was ignited. No one knows the design process of the whole fusion core better than him! "

"Hard to say! It's been 100 years. His design idea was out of date! ""But a smart brain is not out of date, at least I'm looking forward to it!"

It's not just ordinary people who are hot talking about this matter, but also scholars who are engaged in research in this field, or more directly, scholars who are related to interests.

As soon as EAP announced the establishment of the second generation of controllable nuclear fusion and academician Lu himself served as the general director of the project, a large number of words related to the news such as "the second generation of controllable fusion" and "academician Lu serves as the chairman of EAP" appeared in the virtual discussion group of LSPM forum.

Especially on the feasibility of the second generation of controllable fusion technology, people with different views argue with each other. If it's not that they almost fight each other across the Internet, at the end of the day, many people even run to the Rio shelf.

In view of the wide discussion caused by this incident, Pan Asian Television's science program group immediately followed the current events to record a program and invited a major guest.

This guest is not Lu Zhou himself, but Zhang Feiyue, the top expert in the field of contemporary controllable fusion technology research and the director of the Institute of nuclear engineering of the Institute of higher research!

As far as theory is concerned, even the chief engineer of East Asia electric power can not compare with his understanding of controllable fusion technology.

"Hello, academician Zhang!"

Nodding at the polite greeting, academician Zhang replied with a smile.

"Good host."

Moderator: "as for the recent proposal of academician Lu that the second generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology should be the key development direction of East Asia Power in the next five years, how do you think of this matter?"

"It's hard to say..." After touching the scum on his chin, academician Zhang thought for a moment, and responded to the host's friendly smile, "I don't know much about the economic aspect, so let's say I know."

The host nodded and said with serious expression.

"Please tell me!"

"Compared with the first generation of controllable fusion, the former is not only one order of magnitude higher than the latter in energy measurement, but also has a huge difference in cost between them."

Host: "can you say something more popular?"

Academician Zhang said with a smile.

"So far, regardless of design differences, there are 37 fusion reactors adopting the first generation controlled fusion technology, as well as dozens of deuterium and tritium refining stations and hundreds of hydrogen storage stations in the whole Pan Asian region. And the annual maintenance cost paid by East Asia power exceeds 7 billion credit points, accounting for 40% of the total operating cost. "

"If the second generation controllable fusion technology is adopted, not only one fusion reactor is needed, but also the 37 fusion reactors adopting the first generation technology can be replaced, and even there is a lot of energy surplus."

Hearing this intuitive metaphor, the expression on the host's face suddenly changed.

A second-generation fusion reactor can generate electricity equivalent to 37 first-generation fusion reactors?!

It's not just bullshit!

Is it really special to open and hang up, OK!?

Nervously swallowing his saliva, the host continued to ask in an excited and trembling voice.

"Really Is there such an exaggeration? "

"It's not an exaggeration. For the first generation of controlled fusion technology, the second generation of controlled fusion technology is the same as that of the first generation of controlled fusion technology relative to nuclear fission power generation. The difference may be that there is no window paper between the two

At this point, academician Zhang's tone carries a trace of emotion.

"In fact, it's a small matter. The key is the second generation fusion technology, which can replace the relatively expensive tritium with helium III, which is abundant on the moon and is not difficult to collect."

"If we want to go a little further and apply the second generation fusion technology to the aerospace field, our star ship will not only be more than twice as large as it is now, but also be able to carry more fuel and range by an order of magnitude."

"Even if it is a conservative estimate, our future will change dramatically because of the birth of this technology!"

Listen to the amazing words in academician Zhang's mouth, the host with shock on his face forgot his words for a while.

He opened and closed his mouth. After a long time, he swallowed.

“…… What about the three generations of controlled fusion technology? "

"Three generations?" Academician Zhang was slightly stunned, then said with a smile, "it must be pure helium trimerization. Two helium atoms combine to form one helium atom and two protons This is also the most perfect fusion formula in the legend. "

"But it will be a long time before that thing is realized."

Because of academician Zhang's speech, the discussion about the second generation controllable fusion has been pushed to a new peak again.

Many papers have sprung up, standing on the academic point of view, to demonstrate the feasibility of technology, as well as the expected cost of investment.

However, most of these papers are not optimistic.

From the emotional point of view, most people are willing to believe that academician Lu, who once brought light to the land, will once again light a bigger torch.Science, however, has nothing to do with emotion.

Sitting in his study, Lu Zhou took a sip of coffee from 2125, typed the last punctuation on the holographic keyboard, and then ordered Xiaoai to send the paper to the editorial department of future.

In other words, his last contribution to the future is still a paper on ABC conjecture.

The scene of discussing math problems with old friends, everything seems to have happened yesterday.

If I don't go to the calendar, I don't even have a feeling about it. The last contribution was 100 years ago
