Chapter 519: Helpless reality

Even when the STAR stellar device completely detonated the heat about controlled nuclear fusion technology and shocked the entire plasma physics community, it was still in Greifswald, a corner of the Baltic Sea, as usual. Calm down.
Located in the Spiral Stone 7X laboratory on the outskirts of this small city, researchers and engineers usually commute to work, usually finish their work at hand, and usually chat while drinking coffee during lunch break ...
However, a little dull expression can be seen from everyone's face.
Just a few days ago, the paper published in Science completely shattered their pride.
They have always been at the forefront of the world in stellar research.
Even if they opened up the technology line of the stellar simulator, Princeton PPPL laboratory, it is impossible for them to have more say in stellar research.
However, this advantage was completely changed a few days ago.
The STAR device located in Jinling City, Huaguo successfully achieved a one-hour constraint on 100 million degrees high-temperature plasma.
It is no exaggeration to say that the breakthrough in this technology has not only left them a long way off, but has also stood by the finish line.
The most frustrating thing is that they can't even figure out how exactly that STAR device did it ...
Looking at the paper in his hand, Kreber's face was full of solemn expression.
He has read the thesis many times.
However, no matter how many times he saw it, when he saw the glare data, his heart couldn't help being shocked by the facts behind this paper.
The assistant Standing next to him took a deep breath and couldn't help but speak.
"It's incredible ... how did they do it?"
Professor Kreiber shook his head and placed the dissertation on the table: "I don't know, if I knew, we wouldn't be so passive now."
As the head of the Spiral Stone 7X laboratory, the pressure he bears is unthinkable by ordinary researchers.
After all, he is the one who is persuading the Max Planck Institute and Helmholtz Federation to facilitate a technology exchange agreement for EGA installations.
Although the responsibility was not entirely on him, he had repeatedly assured that the EGA device had fallen behind the spiral stone 7X by at least two generations in all aspects of technology ...
Now it seems that even if he still believes this, not many people will believe it.
Price wondered, lowering his voice and saying, "Will it be ... fraud?"
Kreber shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the data itself, and the possibility of fraud is almost zero."
Price whispered, "But Professor Lu is a mathematician ..."
What he really wants to say is that this kind of Fields prize-level big guy wants to falsify the data, even if most people have made it, he can't see it.
However, Kreiber continued to shake his head and said seriously.
"I believe in his academic reputation. And there is no reason for him to do such a thing."
Just then, the door knocked and a researcher came in.
"Professor, Professor Helmholtz Federation Professor Schillerk and Secretary of the Ministry of Economy and Energy Mr. Norbert are now outside."
Hearing these two names, Professor Kreiber sighed exhaustedly, resting his hands on the armrest of the office chair and slowly stood up.
"I see, I'll go now."
The first floor of the laboratory.
When Professor Kleiber walked from the office, he saw a crowd of people coming in from outside.
Looking at the first two, Professor Kleb cleared his throat and a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face.
"Professor Millek, and Mr. Norbert, welcome to the Spiral Stone 7X Laboratory ... what's the wind blowing you?"
Professor Millek didn't laugh, and said blankly, "Less nonsense, take me inside."
Professor Kreiber gave a slight hesitation: "Inside?"
"Spiral Stone 7X."
"Spiral Stone 7X? Sorry, there are no experimental arrangements today--"
"Regardless of the experimental arrangement," Professor Millek stared at Kreber, "take me there."
"it is good……"
Professor Kreiber's expression was stagnant, then he nodded.
In the academic world, whoever holds the money is the father.
This is true regardless of the country.
Although Professor Kreiber's mood was not so good at this moment, and even quite bad, he still had to hold those negative emotions in his heart.
After all, the main research funding of the Spiral 7X Lab is in the hands of the two big men in front of him.
Led by Professor Kreiber, the group walked towards the interior of the institute, and soon came to the laboratory where the spiral stone 7X device was stored.
When he came to this steel beast that was in the middle of the laboratory, Professor Millek personally stepped forward and examined it on the instrument.
Looking at his unknown movements, Professor Kreiber asked.
"Are you satisfied?"
Taking two steps back, Professor Millek nodded. "Fine, still."
Kreiber: "What is there?"
Looking back at Kreiber, Professor Millek said rudely, "I thought you sold your underpants for 500 million euros."
Upon hearing this, Kreber's face had a weird expression on his face.
"Although I don't know what caused you to have such a misunderstanding, you can rest assured, because ... the Spiral 7X can't do that."
Although such a fact is helpless, the fact is the fact.
For one hour of magnetic confinement experiments, it is necessary to burn the cladding material of their first wall without slag.
If you want to say, if you change all the external field coils to SG1 material, and then improve the control scheme, you may be able to do it.
However, this is simple to say, but it takes a lot of time and money to do it ...
But now, obviously not a good time to ask for money.
"The problem is here ~ EbookFREE.me ~ At this time, Mr. Norbert, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Economy and Energy, who has not spoken, looked at Kreiber and said slowly," Why improved from the EGA device? The new STAR device can do it, but the Spiral 7X you have spent five years modifying it can't. Maybe my statement is not academic enough, but I still want to ask, are n’t you the same mother? "
A few accompanying staff members smiled with a smile on his face.
Kreber's eyebrows twitched fiercely, but he explained patiently.
"Yes, you're right. But they didn't just buy our EGA unit back. I can even assert that our EGA has been transformed beyond recognition."
"They can make the magnetic confinement time for one hour. The key to the problem is not the things we sell to them, but the superconducting magnets, and the supporting control schemes ... and some of them may be unique to them Clear secret. "
Interrupting Professor Kreiber's explanation, Norbert began.
"I'm not here to hear you explain why it failed."
"We have invested billions of euros in you, and you have also painted us a cake for decades. Now not only is the result far away, we are even overtaken by a country that has done nothing on this technological route. Now, I have to say, this is not a pleasant thing. Even to give our parliament and our allies a reasonable explanation, I want you to catch up. "
"I'm doing this," Professor Kleiber said, scratching his head.
Staring at Professor Kreiber's eyes, Mr. Norbert said word by word.
"Then don't just promise, let me see the results."
After all, Norbert took the accompanying staff and turned away.
