Chapter 428 We are finished!
Princeton, Stellarator Institute!

This morning, Cao Weiqiang drove to work as usual. When he arrived, he was greeted by many colleagues looking at him with strange looks, ranging from regret to anger.

"what's the situation?"

Cao Weiqiang was confused and didn't understand what happened.

If he remembered correctly, when he got off work last night, his colleagues and he were still very close to each other. They encouraged each other and said that stellarators were the route to successful controllable nuclear fusion and that their bright future was in sight.

This night has passed, why has it changed?

When he entered his office, Cao Weiqiang still didn't understand.

He simply didn't think about it and took out the unfinished materials from yesterday. There were some difficult questions on them. He planned to ask his mentor Joseph Abate for advice.

During this period of time, although the research on stellarators has not made much progress, there has been considerable progress, especially after communicating with the European Hans Cats, which has been quite fruitful.

Joseph Abate also expressed his appreciation and support for his research.

The only thing that made Cao Weiqiang a little depressed was that Joseph Abate was frequently called to meetings by the Ministry of Energy and the CIA during this period. Although he seemed calm on the surface every time he came back, as a disciple, he could tell at a glance that Joseph Abate was. Professor Abate's inner unhappiness made him involuntarily think of Zhao Mo, who was researching controllable nuclear fusion in China.

Since he entered Princeton again to conduct research, Zhao Mo has made breakthroughs every now and then, which inevitably made Joseph Abate Alexander, the leader of Princeton's stellarator research.

Let alone Joseph Abate, even he himself was Alexander. Every time he heard the "breakthrough" news from over there, he was about to explode.

Is this horse still a human being?
He had a vague hunch that the country's appointment of Zhao Mo as director and chief designer of the "Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Center" might be the right choice.

But there was no other way. When it came to the dispute over academic lines, this was almost the most difficult to reconcile contradiction in the world, so he would not think too much about it and concentrated on research.

Turning pressure into motivation makes him very motivated.

When he walked to the door of Joseph Abate's office, Cao Weiqiang saw another senior coming out of the office. He immediately said hello: "Hi, Alan~"

Allen's face was ugly, and when he saw him, his face became even more ugly. After snorting coldly, he turned around and left without saying hello.

"???"

Cao Weiqiang felt even more baffled, and had a vague premonition of something ominous.

dong dong dong~
He knocked on the door of his tutor's office.

"Come in~"

Joseph Abate's voice rang out.

Cao Weiqiang pushed the door open and said hello: "Good morning, tutor~"

"Good morning, Cao~"

Joseph Abbate responded with a forced smile on his face.

Cao Weiqiang wanted to ask why everyone had such an attitude towards him today, but then he thought about it and let it go. He would just find out later. There was no need to let the instructor know, so he continued to ask his question: "Instructor, about the first wall Regarding the research of materials, I have some questions to ask you..."

However, before he finished speaking, Joseph Abate interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then sighed and said: "Cao, it seems that you haven't seen the news yet. You should read the headlines around the world today. . I think what you should do now is go back to your homeland instead of asking these meaningless questions here.”

Cao Weiqiang was startled, then sneered and said: "Tutor, I drove over here after breakfast and didn't watch the news. Besides, how could the research on the first wall material be meaningless? This is related to..."

Having said this, he suddenly realized something. He was startled and looked at Joseph Abate with dumbfounded eyes.

Joseph Abate saw that he understood, so he nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, you have achieved controllable nuclear fusion, the Tokamak route! Therefore, Princeton decided to shut down the stellarator Research, the team is disbanded. Cao, you don’t have to stay here. Go back to your home country. There should be a chance for you there. "

After receiving this confirmation, even though he had already guessed it, Cao Weiqiang was still shocked. The incredible expression on his face turned into despair and deep bitterness. He murmured to himself: "It's over! It's over!"

He could no longer hear what Joseph Abate said later, and he didn't know how he walked out of the instructor's office.

Cao Weiqiang only knows one thing, that is, his choice was wrong!

At a critical moment, a critical moment in his own life, a critical moment in the history of China and the world, he chose the wrong option. He abandoned the Tokamak that was close at hand and was about to succeed, and chose the imitation star that was far away and in a foreign country. device.

cry!

He really cried to death!
I once had an opportunity to leave a name in history before me, but I didn't cherish it and chose to stay away. If God gives me another chance, I will definitely seize it. If I have to add a qualifier to this choice, I think I will give it a go!
Unfortunately, there is no if in history.

What happened cannot be changed, he will never have a chance, and his future will be bleak.

"Mr. Cao Weiqiang?" Walking on campus in a daze, Cao Weiqiang didn't know where he was going or where he was.

Suddenly, three sturdy men in black wearing sunglasses walked up to him, one in front, glanced at a piece of paper in their hands, and then asked him seriously.

The other two people were behind, one on the left and one on the right. Each person's right hand was inserted diagonally in front of his chest, which was the posture of drawing a gun.

Cao Weiqiang panicked, swallowed his saliva and replied: "I am, who are you?"

The man in front snapped his fingers and said, "You have done something wrong. We have reason to suspect you of stealing our country's military secrets. Please come with us!"

Cao Weiqiang was shocked and was about to speak. The two people behind him suddenly rushed forward and lifted him up, one on the left and the other on the right. At the same time, they pressed hard with both hands, causing severe pain all over his body. He could not speak at all. Blank.

"It turns out that they thought I leaked the research information on controllable nuclear fusion here to Zhao Mo, so Zhao Mo came up with controllable nuclear fusion~"

Cao Weiqiang immediately understood the abnormality of his colleagues today, his face was ashen, and then he smiled bitterly and strangely like "hahahaha". With your skills, does Zhao Mo still need me to leak it?
It turns out that I have always been Chinese!

It turns out that this is America!
……

Xiaobenzi, Tokyo, JT-60SA Project Construction Office.

This project is still under construction in full swing. Tokura Yoshihide is in a good mood recently and is not affected by the big Eastern country's breakthrough today and leap tomorrow.

His superconducting materials are innovative, and the single material cost is one-tenth lower than before, not to mention that the energy consumption is also reduced by almost one-tenth, and it is easy to manufacture on a large scale. Now, it has been approved for production by the project team. It is expected that in one or two years, superconducting magnets made of new superconducting materials will be installed and put into use.

Tokura Yoshihide is naturally in a good mood, and he is also very eager for breakthroughs from the Eastern Powers. He is eager to apply his research results, and their JT-60SA experimental device will soon surpass the experimental devices of the Eastern Powers, regardless of Is it the parameters of the device itself or the constraint parameters and experimental result parameters of the experiment.

January 1st is the "first month" of Little Book, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in my country.

The New Year's Eve night was kept up, so Tokura Haoying got up a little late on the first day of the lunar month.

Let's go together. Madam has already prepared "zazhu", which is what we call rice cake soup, and soba noodles.

Well, soba noodles are almost as religious as Tokura Yoshie's here, and he no longer cares about the taste.

After eating, he came here and walked around.

Although everyone was on holiday and only a few people were left on duty, he still couldn't help but come over.

Speaking of which, JT-60SA is indeed not the core of his business, but there is no way, who makes Zhao Mo also engage in controllable nuclear fusion?
As the discoverer of the "Higgs particle", Zhao Mo overpowered him and his little book when he was in Geneva. He is still deeply ashamed of it to this day. Now Zhao Mo is engaged in controllable nuclear fusion, and the JT-60SA Construction Department has asked him to participate in the construction. Controlled nuclear fusion has naturally become an area where he and Zhao Mo will compete again, and he will not allow himself to lose again.

"Is there any movement over there recently?"

He asked the person in charge at the scene.

The person in charge at the scene immediately understood that the "over there" he asked was referring to China, and immediately shook his head and said: "There is no news."

Tokura Haoying smiled and said: "No news is the best news. Thank you for your hard work!"

The person in charge of the scene said with a smile: "It's not hard, this is what we should do."

Tokura Haoying nodded, and then Shi Shiran returned home.

The next day, Tokura Yoshihide went to the shrine with some friends and colleagues. These friends included Watanabe Shinichi, Sakamoto Ryuji, Tsuruta Taro, Harada Hirobumi, etc. They were either professors at the University of Tokyo or the general manager of the JT-60SA project.

It didn't take long to visit the shrine. It took a lot of time on the way. After visiting the shrine, they found a restaurant nearby to have dinner and eat and drink.

In the private room, everyone was talking, laughing and drinking happily.

Behind them, the large color TV was playing NHK's 7 o'clock news, which reported domestic and international news. It was similar to my country's "Xinwen Lianbo", which also played from 7 to 7: p.m.

However, no one was watching alone, they were all drinking and talking loudly.

Until the male host's expression suddenly changed, and he reported in a rapid and loud voice: "...Now interrupting an urgent news, China announced that at 2024:1 pm on January 1, 21, Beijing time, they achieved controllable nuclear fusion ! The artificial sun is successful and generates electricity..."

The originally noisy private room continued to be noisy for several breaths, and then suddenly became silent!
"Nani?"

The next moment, everyone exclaimed and sat upright. Their heads turned towards the large color TV and the NHK 7 o'clock news that was broadcasting the success of controlled nuclear fusion.

On the TV screen, the image of China News Network suddenly appeared. Zhao Mo's figure was clearly visible in the image. He raised his hands high and shouted "We succeeded" in the center of many excited people!
"We're screwed!"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Tokura Yoshihide's mind suddenly cleared up and he broke out in cold sweat. Then he fell softly to the ground, his face turned earth-colored~
