Vol 2 Chapter 982: [Finally to start with nuclear fusion]

People in the global aerospace industry are waiting for the results in the next 91 hours and 54 minutes. If you calculate the time from the Earth's orbit to the Moon's orbit, that is, the time it takes for the entire Earth-Moon transfer orbit, it will be 62 hours and 21 minutes.
The industry is also speculating about the purpose of Star Arrow International's moon landing plan, and there are also different opinions in the media.
But just 22 hours after the launch of the "Yuegong No. 1" spacecraft, the next day, the news that Luo Sheng suddenly appeared in Luzhou City led to the same answer-controllable nuclear fusion!
Because there is one of the world's most advanced devices for exploring controlled nuclear fusion in Luzhou City, which is the location of the EAST project.
Luo Sheng suddenly appeared in Luzhou City at this juncture, combined with the "Moon Palace 1" spacecraft flying to the moon, it is really hard not to let people think about it.
Maybe, Star Arrow International went to the moon for mining. It is not a general mineral vein resource, but helium-3 material, which is recognized as the most ideal resource for controlled nuclear fusion.
But this is also a speculation of the external media, and there is no reliable official news to confirm it, and it is even more topical.
As a result, there were two more voices. One was excitement. The main reason was that domestic netizens who eat melon saw Luo Sheng's appearance in Luzhou City and related media reports. They were extremely excited. The archbishop finally wanted to be right. Nuclear fusion control has been "started", and perhaps the eternal fifty years will end here.
The other is worry, mainly foreign media personnel. It is no exaggeration to say that there are definitely a large number of people in the world who do not want to see Luo Shengran referring to the controllable nuclear fusion technology. This is a horror story for them.
Originally in the field of controllable nuclear fusion technology, the Chinese as latecomers kept advancing and became one of the few front runners in this field.
Now, Luo Sheng is out. In the eyes of many people, this is equivalent to superimposing a super "BUFF". After all, he has been winning and has been creating miracles.
Once the controllable fusion technology has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough, it will usher in an earth-shaking change for all mankind, and it will also rewrite the historical process of human civilization and science and technology.
...
This afternoon, Luo Sheng and a team he led came to an experiment hall on Science Island in the western suburbs of Luzhou City. There is a three-story "iron can". It is EAST, the most advanced in the world. One of the devices for exploring controllable nuclear fusion, it is precisely because of its success that makes Chinese people stand at the forefront of the field of controlled nuclear fusion research.
"Mr. Luo, look up for a long time!"
A man led several scientists towards Luo Sheng. Lin Ya who accompanied him introduced Luo Sheng:
This is Li Jiangan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the convener of the China National Magnetic Confinement Fusion Committee. The director of the Institute of Physical Physics, the core personnel of the CARFT project of the fusion reactor key system comprehensive research facility, has been cultivating on the science island in the western suburbs of Luzhou for 40 years, and is committed to nuclear fusion research. The leader of the EAST project."
"Fortunately meeting Academician Li." Luo Sheng shook hands with the coming Li Jiangan and smiled.
Li Jiangan smiled enthusiastically: "Mr. Luo's personal presence really made the Science Island splendid."
Luo Sheng smiled and said: "I hope I haven't disturbed you. I heard that the construction of CATFT has reached a critical moment and there are financial difficulties. The last EAST project sent someone to come to me. I hope I can participate in it, but I declined. I don’t know if today can make up for the rejection."
That was all seven or eight years ago. At that time, Luo Sheng could be said to have spent money at all costs to build a domestic semiconductor industry chain. A single project is a scale of tens of billions of capital chains, and other scientific projects looked greedy. .
Among them was the controllable fusion project EAST. At that time, people were sent to find the door, hoping to get a fund of investment. For Luo Sheng, several billions of them were like drinking water, but they were rejected. It made the EAST team very depressed.
It also makes everyone think that Luo Sheng is not cold about controllable fusion technology, and some members even complain that Luo Sheng is just short-sighted capital.
In fact, Luo Sheng is not short-sighted, nor is he stingy with the money, but he doesn't want to stretch his hand too long and stick everything horizontally. At that time, he was not as strong as it is today. Faced with international suppression and containment, it is also under great pressure. , I don't want to have extra branches.
Now it is different, and the external pressure has been greatly eased.
"Ha...This is a stale thing many years ago, I forgot it a long time ago, and it makes sense to refuse, after all, we have no idea how long it will take for the research of controllable fusion technology to turn from scientific research results to productivity. , Otherwise, why is there a saying of'forever fifty years'? Mr. Luo is an entrepreneur, so he must pay attention to the output ratio." Li Jiangan laughed jokingly.
"You forgot, but I didn't. In the scientific summit of controlled nuclear fusion, which is a global competition, I also want to make a contribution to help our country's fusion research institutions catch up with foreigners and light up mankind. The first lamp of nuclear fusion." Luo Sheng said, and after speaking, both sides smiled at each other.
One said that he had forgotten, and the other said that he hadn't. Not all scientists added their talent points to the IQ column.
The spirits of Li Jiangan and others were already lifted up, and they were extremely excited. They never expected Luo Sheng to come over at this moment, and listening to this tone was not coming to talk about family affairs.
"I can't ask for it! I can't ask for it! Haha, please, Mr. Luo here, let's talk as we walk." Li Jiangan stretched out his hand and gestured, and the two parties were also talking while walking: "Our main task is to observe and study the plasma in the EAST cavity. In addition to igniting, waiting, measuring and calculating, EAST scientists have to explore unknown theories."
Luo Sheng nodded and said: "I remember that in 2006, EAST achieved its first ignition, excited plasma state and nuclear fusion, and soon achieved a continuous operation of up to 1,000 seconds. This was an unprecedented achievement at the time. "
Li Jiangan also said: "At present, EAST and other experimental devices continue to make breakthroughs in plasma parameters such as temperature, density, and continuous discharge time. They have become the international leader in similar devices. They have achieved success in the latest round of physical experiments. A major breakthrough, the steady-state high-constraint mode plasmon discharge was realized for more than ten minutes, and EAST became the first tokamak fusion experimental device in the world to achieve steady-state high-constraint mode operation for ten minutes. It's an unprecedented achievement."
Having said that, Li Jiangan is also quite proud. In the business of controlled fusion research, his achievements this time are indeed a big step ahead of his competitors.
The two parties chatted and came to a reception room. After seated, Luo Sheng entered the topic and said: "Academician Li, you should have heard of Star Arrow International's recent moon landing plan?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiangan laughed and said: "It's not just a matter of hearing it, it's just like a regular ear, this is not only a major event for your Star Arrow International, but also a major event in my country's aerospace industry and the world's aerospace industry. We are talking about this in private. Still guessing what our people would say in the first sentence of the first moon landing can draw Armstrong down."
After speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Luo Sheng smiled and said: "We really didn't have any special arrangements for this matter. On the Star Arrow International side, moon landing is an ordinary little thing. It is a logical matter. If needed, it will pass. ."
Another scientist present at the meeting said: "Mr. Luo, if your words are spread, you must not embarrass the world's major space agencies."
After the episode, Luo Sheng said: "It's true that our trip to the moon this time has a lot to do with your research field. We are going to dig helium-3, which is the key energy source for controlled fusion."
Li Jiangan and others were taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Did you really dig helium-3?"
Luo Sheng smiled and said: "So, your research progress is very important to me, and it is also the core purpose of this."
At the end, Li Jiangan disappeared and said directly: "Mr. Luo, you are right. The CRAFT project has indeed encountered a problem with the capital chain. The entire project started construction the year before, and the planned construction period is 5 years and 8 months. The main project and the park project consist of two parts. The main construction content is the superconducting magnet research system and the divertor research system. The project covers an area of ​​more than 600 acres and the total budget is about 6 billion yuan."
"The toss of the solar storm caused the funds required for follow-up projects to fail to keep up. The country has to spend money on people's livelihood and economic recovery. This is also understandable. After all, the field of our research is also difficult to translate into substantive in the short term. As a result, the progress of the project has fallen behind and the original plan has been disrupted. Not only the CRAFT project, but the EAST project has also been affected to varying degrees."
The God of Wealth has come to the door himself, so I don’t have to hurry to cry poor. If I missed this village, there might not be this shop.
Luo Sheng is not a mother-in-law, so he directly expands the banknote capacity, and said: "In this way, I will give a super double. I will fund your project of 20 billion RMB in the name of Star Arrow International. If it burns out, continue to double it, I said. It is funding, not equity participation in the future core surplus value sharing, only a series of right to know the project."
Li Jiangan and others were shocked when they heard this. The happiness came too suddenly, and they were stunned for a while~EbookFREE.me~Get cash]Follow vx public. Public number [Book Friends Base Camp~EbookFREE.me~ can still Get cash!
After reacting, Li Jiangan quickly said: "No, no, Mr. Luo, we are all dizzy after you smashed such a big pie. You said that we can accept the funding of several hundred million yuan, but you The astronomical figure of 20 billion is not enough to double...We have a psychological burden."
Luo Shengyun said calmly: "It's right to have a burden in your heart~EbookFREE.me~ but this is not the key to the problem. Star Arrow International will fully support us. We have no other requirements. The only requirements are the same as you. To achieve a revolutionary breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion as soon as possible, of course we will not require a fixed time breakthrough. This is unrealistic, but there must be phased progress so that people can see hope."
Li Jiangan hesitated and said, "But, this is too bad for you..."
"Suffer?" Luo Sheng couldn't help but laughed, and said: "As the saying goes, it is good to lose money. I started as an Internet company. In the context of the Internet, there is such a saying that wool comes from dogs, and my interests are The appeal is not in the fusion device. There is no conflict of interest to cooperate better. My interest lies in the helium-3 resources and the space ladder."
"As long as there is a breakthrough on your side, the helium-3 I dug from the moon is invaluable, and the ladder becomes the passage of the Strait of Hormuz on the space board. The profit here can be much larger than that of the nuclear fusion device. An appropriate analogy is like the lithography machine is to the chip, the absolute profit of the lithography machine is just that little, and the controllable fusion device is also the same as the helium-3 resource, let alone the ladder. So you feel free to accept it. That’s my funding for your project."
