You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 375 We need funds

"You can't have double standards as a human being!"

At the same time, in the small notebook of Tokyo University, Tokura Yoshihide uttered such a sentence with a sneer on his face.

In front of him, Xiaobenzi TV Station was reporting the news from China Central Television's "News Network" about EAST's successful achievement of "maintaining 2500 million degrees Celsius for 450 seconds" and "continuous discharge for more than 40 seconds".

The reason why he said this was because, in his opinion, the news reports of China Central Television's "Xinwen Lianbo" were obviously untrue.

What breaks the world record?

You must know that their small-scale controllable nuclear fusion device JT-60U has achieved a plasma temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius as early as 1990, which is much higher than EAST, but it is insufficient in confinement time.

Later, in order to extend the restraint time, the JT-60U no longer repeated this type of experiment many times, but began to transform it into the JT-60SA with more powerful performance.

Therefore, EAST's so-called breaking of the world record is just talking to itself. It completely ignores "development" and thinks that their small-scale JU-60U is stuck at the performance level of 1990?

More importantly, JT-60U is only one of the third largest tokamak devices in the world. There are two other major ones. One is America's TFTR, which was built and operated in 1982; the other is Europe's JET , also built in the s

Of course, he automatically ignored the "extremely embarrassing" fact that the JT-60U was still undergoing modifications. It had not been completed after ten or twenty years, and it was not expected to be completed until after 2020.

If we really make a comparison in this aspect, our development in recent years is undoubtedly very terrifying.

Tokura Yoshihide automatically ignored it, so he didn't realize it.

He recognized the two people as Taro Tsuruta, the leader of the JT-60SA team, and Hirobumi Harada, his deputy.

Tokura Haoying knew that the developer of ceramic composite superconducting materials was Zhao Xian.

Afterwards, he carefully analyzed the information reported in the news, and then analyzed the reported development of the EAST device over the years, and came to the conclusion that this time the progress of EAST benefited from the new ceramic composite superconducting material. Applications!

If there are people from our Academy of Sciences here, they will definitely recognize him at a glance. The person in the photo in the news report is Academician Zhao Xian, one of the founders of the field of superconducting materials research in China.

But now, he is no longer afraid, but feels relaxed and can laugh.

"Tokura-kun!"

"Please come in~"

Because he developed nickel-based superconducting materials and reached the liquid nitrogen temperature range in one go!

It can be said that he is unique in the research of nickel-based superconducting materials, leading everyone in the world.

"Bang bang bang~"

The truth was just as he expected.

Tokura Yoshihide's eyes focused on a photo in a news report, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, the office door was pushed open, and two familiar middle-aged men walked in.

Before, Tokura Yoshihide attached great importance to and feared Zhao Xian, because Zhao Xian's research in the field of superconductivity was very fast, almost in sync with their little book and America, and it was very in-depth, often better than them. Xiaobenzi is three stages deeper than America. Whether their notebooks or America's are still in the first stage of understanding a certain superconducting material, Zhao Xianwangwang has already tested all the properties of this superconducting material and has also put together related extension products. , the application level has been studied from bottom to top.

"It turns out to be Tsuruta-kun, Harada-kun~"

Under normal circumstances, these two people should be in charge of affairs at JT-60SA, and there is no way they would take the initiative to look for him. At this time, he took the initiative to search for him. Apart from nickel-based superconducting materials, he could not think of any other reason.

Tokura Yoshii was startled, turned off the TV first, and then let the visitor in.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

Tokura Yoshihide quickly stood up and returned the greeting, with a trace of thought flashing in his eyes: "Are they looking for me for nickel-based superconducting materials?"

When the two people who came in saw Tokura Yoshihide, they immediately bowed slightly and said hello.

"Zhao Xian!"

More importantly, nickel-based superconducting materials have very excellent properties, surpassing those of previous iron-based superconducting materials and copper oxide compounds. He is very confident that nickel-based superconducting materials will usher in an explosion of applications, and related application fields will also usher in explosive development.

The next moment, Taro Tsuruta said to him straight to the point: "I came here this time to ask Tokura-kun about nickel-based superconducting materials. I want to apply it to ultra-large diameter superconducting magnetic coils..."

"It seems that I was stimulated by the progress of China's EAST~"

Tokura Haoying secretly laughed secretly, but on the surface he listened calmly.

It turned out that JT-60SA encountered difficulties in the transformation and upgrading work. After seeing the advent of nickel-based superconducting materials, they decided to talk to him after evaluation and try to apply nickel-based superconducting materials. "Tokura-kun, please help me!"

Taro Tsuruta said, stood up and bowed to him again.

Tokura Yoshihide quickly stood up, helped Taro Tsuruta up, and said with a smile: "Controllable nuclear fusion is the future of the empire and the future of mankind. As a member of the empire, it is my duty to do so!"

"Thank you so much!"

Taro Tsuruta was immediately overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

The next day, many media outlets reported the news that Yoshihide Tokura, who discovered nickel-based superconducting materials, joined the JT-60SA research team to assist in the research of controllable nuclear fusion and is expected to accelerate the development of controllable nuclear fusion. Realized, and then reported the status quo and impact of controllable nuclear fusion at length...

Naturally, media outlets in many countries around the world quickly followed up with relevant reports.

In our country, the official media did not respond. It was the free media that followed up the report, especially the self-media and various big Vs on the Internet, which set off another wave of climax.

Yes, even though our GPD has surpassed Xiaobenzi, our industrial output has already surpassed Xiaobenzi. However, during this period, a large number of people still think that Xiaobenzi is much more advanced than us. Xiaobenzi is engaged in cutting-edge scientific research. All actions require special attention and attention. Let alone this period, even in 2023, Xiaobenzi has already sunk after thirty years of loss. There are still a large number of people who have an inexplicable sense of inferiority towards Xiaobenzi products. Or I feel superior after traveling or working in a small book.

Soon, the news that the Luzhou Artificial Sun EAST team set a new world record became a hot search for a short period of time. Many people began to blame the EAST team, saying that their small JT-60U had achieved hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius very early. The temperature has dropped, is our 2500 million degrees Celsius worth being proud of?

They don't understand the difference at all, and they just spray it when they catch it.

They even don’t understand that no matter how hard they try, the little ones who were castrated after World War II will end up with nothing more than a wave of leeks, and it is simply impossible to lead the world in scientific research, industry, commerce and other fields.

Before they reach the peak and show signs of success, America's sickle will fall.

Without this or that, it is normal for major scientific research projects to be far away.

For example, the transformation of JT-60U into JT-60SA has been delayed for a long time because many things are missing.

In this regard, although America's media followed up on the report and praised Xiaobenzi's contribution to the field of controlled nuclear fusion, those who researched controlled nuclear fusion within America and the government departments concerned about this project From the perspective of professionals, Xiao Benzi’s move is nothing to worry about. They have a clear understanding.

"Mr. Minister, I don't think the JT-60SA is anything to worry about. They have updated their plan and it is expected to be completed and operational by 2020. But as you know, we have requirements for them and are not allowed to purchase equipment from the big Eastern countries, so I I think they will continue to postpone it..."

America!

Director McKinsey of the CIA was invited to the office of Director JUDY of the Department of Energy. When JUDY asked him about the JT-60SA device in the small book and what impact it would have on their great America's controllable nuclear fusion business, Director McKinsey had a look on his face. He replied confidently.

"That's great~"

Minister JUDY's face suddenly showed a happy smile.

There is no doubt that without China's supply chain, which ranks first in the world in industrial output and has a complete range of industrial categories, Xiaobenzi wants to rely on their own supply chain to complete large-scale high-end scientific research projects like JT-60SA, and delays are inevitable. .

Even if he doesn't know the actual difficulties involved, he can still judge this "iron" fact based on his understanding of the situation.

He didn't care what happened in the meantime or what kind of surgery America performed on Xiao Benzi. He just wanted to know that their controllable nuclear fusion research would not be affected by Xiao Benzi.

As Minister of Energy, he fully supports the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion.

He was personally present at the NIF (National Ignition Facility) ignition experiment some time ago.

Thinking of this, he looked in front of him, a white-haired old man named Omar, who was sitting on the right side of Director McKinsey. He showed a gentle smile and asked: "Professor, I heard that NIF has made new progress?"

Omar, who had always been there, heard the question and came back to his senses. Without thinking for a long time, he answered affirmatively: "Yes, the addition of the large AI model has helped us make progress faster than before. Of course, AI The big model is just an auxiliary, what really determines progress is our team and our wisdom~"

As he spoke, he pointed to his head, and then continued: "In June, Dr. Anne from my school is a very good nuclear physicist, and he works very seriously and can devote himself wholeheartedly. She successfully solved a series of problems and completed the latest design. I have seen the design and it is very good. It can completely realize and improve the fusion yield and is expected to achieve net gain."

Minister JUDY was very surprised when he heard this: "God, did I hear that right?"

Omar glanced at him lightly and said, "You heard me right, this is also the purpose of coming to you this time. We plan to conduct an ignition test in early December, and we need funds!"

JUDY: "..."

Okay, old man, this last "funding" is the highlight of your visit, right?
