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

Chapter 387 Cao Weiqiang: I don’t want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay!
Stellar research has a long history. The world's first experimental one was built in Princeton in 1951.

It was also from that time that the stellarator program entered the scientific community's horizons, and the tokamak route became the two major controllable nuclear fusion implementation routes.

The Tokamak route comes from Da Maozi.

Of the two routes, the tokamak route is recognized by the world as the most likely to succeed. America itself has invested heavily in tokamak research, just like our country.

In recent years, some people have been talking about the stellarator route, but just listen, it is simply incomparable to the tokamak route in terms of engineering.

An America, after World War II until now, and will still be the world's number one scientific and technological power in the next two to three decades, betting on the Tokamak route; a China, which rose after World War II and became the world's largest technological power after 2010 Emerging powers, which are the largest industrial countries and are about to play second fiddle in the next two to three decades, are also betting on the Tokamak route. Everyone should know which route is most likely to succeed.

If the routes taken by America and China are not successful, can the unpopular stellarator route taken by other incomplete countries still succeed?
Do you really think that it was the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution in the past, and the technology was so crude and simple?

We are about to enter the juncture of the fourth industrial revolution. The industrial foundation, talent foundation, and economic foundation required for breakthrough cannot be carried by an incomplete country, except for America and China.

Of course, the hollowed-out America is a different story.

Cao Weiqiang and Li Jianguo both came from Princeton. Their views are different from the mainstream. They believe that stellarators are the future and can truly achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

Not only to solve the problem of controllable nuclear fusion, but to at least re-establish the stellarator route, he also believed in the wisdom of later generations.

Isn’t this something that happens behind closed doors?
Hemp egg!

He returned to China for the University of Science and Technology of China and to serve the country. Whether the research on the stellarator could be built would have little impact on him. However, he has joined Cao Weiqiang's team, has finalized the plan with Cao Weiqiang, and is ready to implement it. Now he can't continue? Isn't this playing tricks on people?

The president of the University of Science and Technology of China knew that he was in the wrong and didn't care about his attitude at all. After coughing, he slowly replied: "The Ministry of Science and Technology has issued a notice that all research in the field of stellarator related fields involving funding applications must be done first." Suspended. I asked the reason, but the other party did not answer. They only asked us to execute it."

It’s really disgusting to be stuck like this now!

The expression on Li Jianguo's face also turned cold, and he was also very angry.

"It's suspended without any explanation. What about our research? It's just random!"

The Helix Stone 7-X started by Hans Cat is already halfway through construction, and the Helix H-1 in Australia is also in progress. Princeton has not stopped, but China has stopped for a long time.

The reason why stellarators have not become mainstream is simply an engineering problem.

They believe that tokamak cannot operate in a steady state, and the plasma current is prone to breakage, which is far inferior to a stellarator that can operate in a stable state.

Good guy, this is really true~ What a wonderful way of thinking!
Even after beating them to death, they never expected that the principal could give such an explanation?
Just theory?

After Cao Weiqiang reacted, he immediately asked in a very aggressive tone.

They want to swear.

What's going on now, timeout?
"Principal, what do you mean?"

In 1971, the Southwest Institute of Physics built China's first stellarator, Lingyun, but it was quickly abandoned because it was too difficult and the relevant theoretical work was not mature. Lingyun was just copying a cat and a tiger. In addition, Big Brother "Big Mao" and America also converted a stellarator they built in 1960 into a tokamak. Therefore, after careful research, the domestic route was based on tokamak.

The president of the University of Science and Technology of China quickly reassured them: "Don't get excited, don't get excited~ I'm not asking you all to stop now, I'm just suspending those who have funding applications. You can still conduct theoretical research~"

If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have initiated the project in the first place!

Cao Weiqiang believes that this is the meaning of his return. He has brought the most advanced stellarator theory and is expected to make his own contribution in this regard.

Now, the development of AI large models is in full swing, and the level of science and technology is changing with each passing day. At Princeton and Hanscat, great progress has been made in solving the engineering problems of stellar simulators. The future is visible to the naked eye and there will be no insurmountable engineering problems. . Therefore, they are back, and they want to build the most advanced stellarator for China and make their own contribution to the country's controllable nuclear fusion research.

An unknown anger immediately emerged from Cao Weiqiang's heart, and he said angrily: "Isn't this a joke? Then why did I come back?"

Li Jianguo, Cao Weiqiang: "..."

But they can't.

Cao Weiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and thought of a move: "Principal, I heard that Nanjing University also has the idea of ​​​​developing a stellarator, and has also contacted Australia. We have suspended it here, but what about them?"

His original intention was to use Nanda to stimulate competition and create competition.

But he soon realized that his efforts were in vain.

The principal answered him without thinking: "It's also suspended, all of them are suspended! Not only our school, but also universities across the country and controllable nuclear fusion research institutes across the country have been suspended."

Cao Weiqiang finally couldn't bear it anymore, his face turned red with anger, and he cursed angrily: "Fuck! This is a foolish move that harms the country and the people! Mad, from now on, we will lag behind foreign countries in controllable nuclear fusion, and they will be the Chinese nation. The sinners are the sinners of history..."

President of the University of Science and Technology of China: "..."

So brave?
Yang Jianguo also looked sideways after hearing this, and most of the anger he had just dissipated, and he even wanted to laugh.

After scolding for a while, Cao Weiqiang finally vented part of his inner anger and calmed down a little.

As soon as he calmed down, Cao Weiqiang found that he couldn't swallow this breath, so he immediately said angrily: "Principal, I want to write a letter, I want to complain, tell me who made this decision? I want to complain to the cabinet!" "Destroying a person's future is like killing his parents!"

The principal understood Cao Weiqiang very well, but his stance was different. He immediately became worried about his future, because looking at Cao Weiqiang's appearance, his original decision to invite Cao Weiqiang back might have brought disaster to himself~
While sighing secretly, he still answered Cao Weiqiang: "The Ministry of Science and Technology said it was approved by the cabinet."

"..."

The angry expression on Cao Weiqiang's face suddenly solidified.

How can I complain?

What a waste of a complaint!
Li Jianguo also fell into silence. There was really no way to do this and he could only do it.

Even the big things that have been decided by the cabinet must be carried out, only at the expense of great ambitions!
"You are still young, and there is still a long road ahead. Don't rush now~"

The principal patted Cao Weiqiang on the shoulder and continued to persuade: "Once the lockdown is lifted, we will take action immediately. I will definitely support what I promised you."

Cao Weiqiang's lips twitched when he heard this. Do you support him to the end? To which end?

Now that the cabinet is blocked, you will be lying down. Why should you support it?

"Sure enough, coming back was a mistake!"

Cao Weiqiang remembered what the professor he followed when he was studying at Princeton University said when he came back. There was no environment in the country and it was not suitable for him. Now it seems that it is really to the point.

He regretted it!

With these thoughts running through his mind, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then asked the last question: "Principal, what is the current situation at the Southwest Nuclear Industry Gyre 2 and the EAST team next door? ?”

The anger did not make him lose his mind. He quickly made a judgment. The turning point in the situation was probably the emergency call that Pan Hong and Kuang Xiantao received later that day.

He didn't have a phone call at that time and came back.

Looking at it now, it is very likely that he was influenced by Pan Hong and Kuang Xiantao.

The principal was stunned by this question. After thinking for a while, he realized that what Cao Weiqiang asked might have something to do with them. So he thought about it and said, "I heard that there is going to be a reorganization, but I don't know how exactly it will be reorganized yet. I just know that in the future, it may be assigned to a department for unified management.”

"Unified management?"

Cao Weiqiang felt a little baffled. He was reorganized into a department for management for no reason?

Is there a breakthrough?
Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

But the next moment, he secretly shook his head and threw this idea away, because it was absolutely impossible!
Relevant basic research lags behind the level of foreign countries for thirty years. How can there be a sudden breakthrough?
This is not science fiction, this is reality!
He said no more.

The president of the University of Science and Technology of China thought his persuasion was effective, so he patted him on the shoulder again, then turned and left.

"What's next?"

After the principal left, Li Jianguo immediately asked him.

Cao Weiqiang sneered and did not answer immediately. Instead, he dialed Kuang Xiantao's phone number first: "Director Kuang, I am Cao Weiqiang of the University of Science and Technology of China~ It's like this. Suddenly, there was a notice from above, and all the projects I applied for funding were suspended. , your EAST side has not been affected, right?"

Soon, Kuang Xiantao's voice rang out: "I can't say much more. All I can tell you is that the country will only follow the Tokamak route. It won't take long, and you will see us after a while. You will know the changes in the structure when the time comes~"

After saying that, Kuang Xiantao hung up the phone.

beep~
Immediately there was only a blind tone on the phone.

"boom!"

Cao Weiqiang's anger broke out again. He made a fist with his right hand and slammed it on the desk in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder, it turns out we were abandoned!"

Li Jianguo sighed and consoled him in a friendly voice: "My arms can't hold my thighs. Since the country has decided to only go the tokamak route, we can only change it."

"No!"

Cao Weiqiang raised his head and looked at him angrily, like an angry lion, and shouted at him: "If we give up like this, then who are we? Aren't we just like lost dogs?"

Li Jianguo said nonchalantly: "It's not that serious, right? Then what do you think we should do?"

Cao Weiqiang said coldly: "I don't want to stay here, I have my own place to stay! Whether we go back to Princeton or to Hans Cat, it is the right path we should take, instead of settling for compromises here!"

Li Jianguo looked at him dumbfounded: "You..."
