Chapter 669: The big picture

Go to Beijing.
In a quaint house, a two-spotted old man was sitting on a rattan chair and meticulously looked at the newspaper in his hand. When he saw a certain place, his brow could not help but frown slightly, and just then, footsteps came from outside.
Looking away from the newspaper, he saw the Chief Li stepped into the hospital with the footsteps of the guards, and the old man cast an unexpected look at him, smiling gently.
"What's wrong? Early in the morning."
"I just came over from Jinling." Director Li took a deep breath and restrained the excitement in his voice.
The old man's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something, but he continued to ask.
"What happened to Jinling?"
"Small-scale experimental reactor of controlled fusion ... under the leadership of Professor Lu, it has been successfully ignited!"
The moment he heard this sentence, it was not only the old man's face, but even the guards standing behind Director Li had a surprised expression on his face.
After saying three "OK" in succession, the old man laughed and closed the newspaper in his hand, and got up from the rattan chair.
Passing by Director Li, standing next to the bluestone brick path, looking at the large willow tree in the yard, he sighed heartily.
"... It is a great honor for a scholar like Professor Lu!"
"Yeah ..." Director Li sighed in concurrence.
But although it was echoed, it was indeed a thought deep inside him.
Nuclear power flowing in the power grid has injected new blood into the weak manufacturing industry. Endless energy is making people's lives better. He has used knowledge to change everything in this country and opened the door to the future.
This alone is enough to raise him to the height of a great man.
The old man bowed his head for a moment and thought, and suddenly said.
"Who knows this?"
Director Li looked slightly rectified and said, "Except for the researchers who participated in the research, only I and Academician Wang Zengguang, chief engineer of the Nuclear Industry Group, and his two students knew ... Speak up. "
The insiders are all from the original class who have participated in the STAR project, and they are all people who can be trusted. It is not difficult to keep secrets.
After listening to Director Li's report, the old man nodded approvingly.
"Well, you're doing this right. It really shouldn't be too public."
Studies on controllable fusion in various countries have stagnated, and negotiations on controllable fusion technology have come to an end from a tug-of-war.
Although the experimental reactor in California borrowed from Pangu to some extent in the technical route, several key issues have not been resolved, even though China has temporarily relaxed the export of SG-1 superconducting materials. Test results for components outside the rails did not meet expected standards.
As for ITER, it is still the same. Although it is a powerful one, it cannot be a big thing ...
Now Western countries have gradually lost patience with their own researchers and returned to the negotiating table with sincerity. And China is also very happy to reach consensus with other countries on technology exchange in order to exchange those technologies that they do not have, as well as political and administrative benefits.
At this time, letting other countries know that China has made breakthroughs in controlled fusion miniaturization technology will undoubtedly have a negative impact on negotiations. On the one hand, they are worried that their appetite will become larger, and on the other hand, they will be miniaturized and controlled fusion ... Compared to civilian fusion reactors, they are still somewhat sensitive.
Seeing the expression of approval on the old man's face, Director Li's shoulders were slightly relaxed, and he let out a sigh of relief, and continued to say.
"What about space?"
Old man: "Aerospace?"
Director Li hesitated for a moment, or expressed his concerns.
"Well ... if I use fusion batteries on a spacecraft, I worry about leaking information. And in the event of an accident, it's hard to guarantee that the technology will not leak."
This kind of worry is not unreasonable. After all, the spacecraft thing is not good. As long as it is launched, there is a certain risk of failure. Fortunately, if you fall into the territory, the troops in various places can quickly control the situation, but if you fall on the high seas, or even in the territory of another country, then things will be a big deal.
After listening to Director Li's concerns, the old man smiled and said.
"You can be cautious, but you don't have to waste food. Besides, the miniaturization of controllable fusion has itself developed from the aerospace project, because this concern stopped the aerospace project. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"This ... you're right, I was negligent." Director Li lowered his head.
The old man glanced at him and continued.
"Professor Lu doesn't have to worry about it. You just have to instruct the Navy Equipment Research Institute to improve the controllable fusion miniaturization technology. It is still early for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but I think nuclear submarines can be tried ! "
Director Li nodded earnestly and remembered every word the old man said.
"Yes!"
...
At the same time, in the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research, Lu Zhou convened researchers in the controllable fusion miniaturization project team to the conference room and held a short ad hoc meeting.
"... The Science and Industry Bureau said hello to me. The controlled fusion miniaturization technology is not suitable for publicity. Let's keep it secret for the time being. We ca n’t open the praise of the conference, and we can only invite you Something's up. "
Sheng Xianfu smiled and said, "It's okay to commend the conference. It only happened once at the beginning of the year. It's not been a year."
Professor Li Changxia nodded.
"Everything is more important."
Several other researchers also nodded, expressing understanding.
Although it is a shame that this glory cannot be written on the resume, being able to participate in the historic project is a matter of pride in itself.
What's more, most of the people standing here are still young, and the oldest are only in their forties. Even if it is not secreted for thirty years according to the top secret standard, most people can wait until the day of decryption.
And if you step back ten thousand steps, even if you don't wait that day, the honor will be engraved on their tombstone.
So, there is nothing to worry about ...
"In addition, it's about where we go in the future."
Then, Lu Zhou looked at Sheng Xianfu.
"The controllable fusion miniaturization project will be gradually withdrawn. The public announcement is an experimental failure and it is found to have no research value ... The position of the director of the 585 institute is still reserved for you, and the technical director of East Asia Power also lacks. See if you want to go back to the research institute or go to a business or somewhere else, you can tell me, I will write for you. "
Without any hesitation, Sheng Xianfu said with a smile.
"Just go back to 585. If you didn't pull me to work on this project, I plan to go back there after Pangudui is built."
Professor Li Changxia patted his shoulder, and quipped with a smile: "I understand that riches are not returned to their hometown, such as Jinyi is walking at night."
Sheng Xianfu embarrassedly touched the lower bridge of his nose, and his mouth closed with a wide gap.
"What kind of rich return home, am I the kind of person?"
"I will write to you for the Nuclear Industry Group and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and you will receive the letter of appointment within about a week," Lu Zhou nodded with a smile, and continued to look at Professor Li Changxia. "What about you Do you want to go back to Yunhua, or go to East Asia Power, or some other research institution? "
Professor Li Changxia hesitated.
"I want to stay."
Lu Zhou looked at him unexpectedly: "Stay?"
"Well ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Prof. Li Changxia nodded." The environment of the company is not suitable for me. On the Huahua side ... the development space is still slightly inferior, so I want to stay. "
Lu Zhou: "There are many research institutes in China. It doesn't have to be here."
Li Changxia smiled and set off: "Which research institute in China is more promising than you? Would you recommend it to me?"
"Let ’s do that," Lu said, and Lu Zhou was no longer persuading. After thinking for a while, he continued to say, "Jinda ’s plan is to get rid of nuclear physics and set up a nuclear physics research institute. To train talents in nuclear physics for the country, let me help you think about it. You are from the STAR project, you should also be familiar with nuclear physics, and you will be the director . "
Li Changxia looked happy and said sincerely.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," Lu Zhou smiled softly, "this is what you deserve."
