For the sake of research: the beginning of the announcement of the combat mech

Hearing this, Bai Fan frowned, hesitated for a while, and did not respond immediately.

He left the laboratory and entered Suzaku Base for nearly two months.

In the past two months, the specific progress of controllable nuclear fusion is not very clear. It can't be said that the experimental project of the project has made a little progress or progress. Director Wang Sheng made a special effort to contact Bai Fan.

This is not realistic nor allowed.

So for the question just now, Bai Fan can't give a conclusion at the first time.

He can only say that the project should be running as expected without the specific explanation of Director Wang Sheng.

In general, if there is a major change, or if the expectation is not met, Director Wang Sheng will explain it as soon as possible. If he does not say it, it is expected. For the specific time, he really didn't have such a certainty at this moment.

Since you are not sure, you can't talk nonsense.

That's what science is.

One is one, two is two.

"Chief, I just came back, and I'm not very clear about the laboratory engineering."

"In two months, I think there should be some progress, but the progress will not be great."

Bai Fan spoke slowly, explaining the reason, and after finishing this sentence, he changed the subject:
"It's the same reason, if the director doesn't specify otherwise."

"The current progress of the project should be within expectations."

"As expected?"

"About a few years from the beginning?" the old man asked again.

Bai Fan stretched out his palm, then slowly opened it, revealing five fingers.

"Five years?"

"Five years does it mean that the project can be completed, or does it mean that there is some progress?"

"Partial progress."

Bai Fan told the truth, he didn't dare to be too big on this issue.

Even if he stands on the shoulders of giants and has a considerable amount of theoretical technology, it is also not easy to spread out such a large energy system problem, from theory to practice, and fully realize the plan on paper. Things need to be done bit by bit, and it is completely impossible to do it overnight.

"Five years."

"And only partially."

"According to this time, it is very likely that we will not be able to catch up..."

"Got to think of other directions."

The old man frowned tightly and sighed slightly:
"But having said that, don't put too much pressure on Bai Gong. After all, it is controllable nuclear fusion, which is known as a world problem. It will take some time, which is normal."

"After all, other countries have not done it for decades, so it is quite difficult."

"It's hard for you."

The old man spoke again, patted Bai Fan on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

However, Bai Fan heard a hint of implication in these words, coupled with the information on the document.

I suddenly had some thoughts in my heart, and then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked:
"Chief, let me ask one more question."

"Are you worried about energy issues? The current situation is worse than imagined?"

"I see that the energy and electricity in various regions described in the document are facing shortages."

"This……………"

Hearing this, the old man nodded without concealing anything, and said flatly, "Yes, you are right."

"The gap in energy is indeed tighter than imagined, especially in these years,"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you here in such a hurry to see if it's possible to further advance the nuclear fusion project."

"Is it because of the Great Deep Space Strategy?"

Bai Fan rolled his eyes, immediately thought of the reason, and pointed it out sharply.

After all, he also had some energy problems before.

But it's not as tense as it is now.

In Lenovo's current strategic plan, the only one that is being implemented is the Great Deep Space Strategy.

"Correct!"

"Currently, the deep space strategy is in a resource accumulation mode. Energy consumption is increasing day by day, and the rise is faintly visible. Although there is progress in the advancement of the plan every day, there has not been a qualitative leap. It is still only on paper. There is still a considerable amount of time before the real resource return, that is to say, it is all consumption at this stage."

"I have a set of data here. Bai Gong can take a look. Compared with three years ago, that is, when Bai Fan's laboratory first started, the consumption of personnel in various large departments has increased by about [-] times. This is a Quite a staggering number, and the number continues to increase."

"Not to mention anything else, the daily consumption of the aerospace department alone is an astronomical figure."

"Not long ago, Lao Lin proposed a near-Earth asteroid defense system."

"It is said that it is the second phase of the Nantianmen plan. I heard that the plan is very good, but it is still very difficult to implement it."

"There is also a mecha team that is expanding further."

"Aerospace frigate group..."

"Everything needs fundamental energy to support it."

The old man said calmly, explaining the current energy problems bit by bit in detail.

Bai Fan showed a thoughtful look and listened very seriously.

There are not many opportunities to directly look at the energy problems of the whole country or even the whole world.

And a very important point is that it is closely related to the next nuclear fusion project.

Bai Fan arrived at the top office at seven o'clock in the evening and didn't come back until eleven o'clock.

on the way back,
The conversation just now echoed in Bai Fan's mind, muttering to himself:

"It seems that it is still a further speed up."

"Otherwise, I probably won't be able to catch up."

"Go back to the laboratory to see the current progress, and then discuss the future plans."

back to the lab,
Bai Fan, who was just about to open the office door, saw that the light in front of him was still on.

"It's already at this point, why hasn't the director left yet?"

Bai Fan was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that after he comes back, the director can relax a bit, at least he doesn't have to wait until eleven o'clock to go home as before.

"Director, why haven't you returned yet?"

"what are you doing?"

Bai Fan brought two cups of hot tea, made some food in the cafeteria, and brought them into the office.

Director Wang Sheng looked up and saw that it was Bai Fan. His originally serious face burst into a smile, and he greeted:

"You've been talking with your superiors before you come back now?"

Bai Fan nodded.

"What issues were discussed, of course, if there is a principle of confidentiality, you don't need to tell me."

"I still know the rules."

Director Wang Sheng said with a smile:
"What did the director say?"

"This Baifan laboratory, if there is no director, will not be able to play well."

"There is something that can be hidden from you."

Bai Fan put down the plate, and the two chatted while eating and eating.

"That's right."

"Actually, the higher-ups won't look for you about energy issues. I'll talk to you about it after a while."

Director Wang Sheng said thoughtfully: "Accompanied by the unfolding of several key projects."

"The consumption of energy has far exceeded the initial expectation, and it has increased several times or even ten times."

"No, fortunately we have a little background."

"Otherwise, the process of the Great Deep Space Strategy alone may not be able to advance."

"At that time, it will become the laughing stock of everyone."

Bai Fan nodded, thought for a while, and said:

"It seems that the resolution of the nuclear fusion project cannot be delayed."

"Row."

"Let me inform you in the evening that all the research groups related to nuclear fusion engineering will come to the laboratory for a meeting."

"Something to say."

Bai Fan stood up with a calm face, and spoke from this side.
