Japan: A New Age

Tuesday, 11: 30, from Haneda Airport, take the monorail to Hamamatsucho, have a light meal at Tokyo Station, then switch to the subway station to Kasumigaka subway station.

At 1: 55, he went to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry reception, where Yamado gave his business card and said, "My name is Yamado from Gangnam University. I have an appointment with Director Tanaka at 2: 00," he tells the receptionist.

"Yes, I'm asking. One moment, please. I have something to show you."

Sitting on the couch at the reception, waiting for about 5 minutes, he is called "Dr. Yamado, the guide thing has arrived" and takes the elevator with the guidance of the woman he has been waiting for. He descends on the 8th floor, stops in front of the room with a short walk and opens the door after the knock. "I showed you Yamado and Makimura Sensei"

"Thank you. You can back off."

Waiting was Director Tanaka, who looked about 50 years old, with a slightly thinner forehead and a disappointing physique. Firstly, he greets Yamado, "Mr. Yamado, I'm out of time," and then he says, "Dr. Makimura, thank you for taking the time to tell us a valuable story today".

Look at two more and say. "At first I wanted to call something from the department involved, but I looked at Dr. Yamado's email and decided to listen to him alone in case the secret leaked."

Opposite each other, sit on the sofa at the reception, first cutting off the tantrum from Director Tanaka.

"I looked at your email, and I asked you to look at the paper in detail within the bureau, and you said," It's an amazing paper, and it completely proves the feasibility of ambient nuclear fusion and breakthroughs it. "However, 'no operating conditions have been stated and further study of this point is needed', also. By the way, you think the content of Dr. Yamado's email actually clarifies the operating conditions?"

Answer from the pastoral village. "Yes, the operating conditions have also been clarified and I think they are correct where I can make my decision, so I think I will just try them later"

"So naturally it takes energy input to trigger the reaction, but to what extent is revenue and expenditure calculated?" Makimura answers Director Tanaka's question.

"Input energy is heat, electromagnetic waves, but electricity is used for generation, so it will be put into the form of electricity. For more than an hour of the excitation phase until a chain reaction occurs, it will be put in about 10 times the steady state. But when it comes to power consumption at excitation, it's only 10 to 20% of the generation. Therefore, if the chain reaction continues long enough, the input energy will be 1-2% of the energy obtained.

More importantly, the energy obtained by this reaction is not heat, but electricity, which is the flow of electrons, so you get exactly the ideal reaction "

"I'm listening to you, I feel the story is a little too good compared to previous common sense, do the teachers believe the results of that paper"

Yamado and Makimura nod and answer. "I am convinced you are right as a researcher in your field of expertise"

Again, Director Tanaka asked me a question. "This realization is a daunting opportunity for our country, and if it is possible, we want it to happen as soon as possible, but how long does it take to install it and how much does it cost"

This is answered by Yamado.

"I have tried to calculate the approximate cost by hearing some, assuming the necessary devices. In this case, bench-testing is not possible, and the device can be as small as 100,000 kW. Perhaps the size is about 5m wide by 10m long, the construction period is six months for the design, and anything that can be ordered in the meantime is about a total of one year of six months for manufacturing and assembly.

Will the construction cost be between 1 and 2 billion yen, as four researchers will always be in charge? "

"A prototype, 100,000 kW nuclear fusion generator can do a year, a lot faster and cheaper than a billion to two billion. If it's true, the cost of fuel is extremely low, so the cost of electricity drops dramatically. More importantly, fuel is hydrogen only, which means fuel shortages will be eliminated in the future."

Director Tanaka said, putting his arms together for a while and thought about it.

"By the way, the author of the final paper is an elementary school student,"

"Yes, it's just genius. I think maybe this paper creation is just a fraction of his talent," Yamado replies.

"Are you saying we can expect similar results in the future?" Yamado answers Director Tanaka's question again.

"That's right. But we need to keep his secret until we grow up a little bit more. We also need to put him in an environment with enough intelligent stimulus if we are to expect similar results in the future.

Thank you, because he seems to be particularly good at capturing surrounding or known information to create new things. "

"Okay. Sushi, I'll talk to a lot of people. I'll just make sure that the real thing about you, that genius, is that you only tell the minimum number of people you need.

Either way, is it its nuclear fusion generator, the New Clear Fusion Generator? Could you prepare a development plan, including the construction of that prototype? As soon as possible, from our station, we will be sending people out to your university, "Director Tanaka says at the end.

The next day, Yamado called me at the ranch where I was thinking about what to do with the development plan I was told yesterday. "Director Tanaka told me that he let the outgoing leave this morning, so I'm going to show my face in your lab at the first of the afternoon"

"Yes! Already!" Makimura is surprised, but Professor Yamado says so naturally.

"Isn't that just fine? Let's have a development plan put together. By the way, we can't hit the plan in our classroom only, so we need to get the engineering department to bite us, too. I'll talk to Urase, the dean of engineering for a second. By the way, hey, I see a lot of people this afternoon, so I'm not. I'm free at night, though."

After I hung up the phone, Makimura thought about it.

'All moves much faster than I thought.

Perhaps in the future, efforts to devise devices with much different fields will also have to be proactively involved. Starting my college class and doing my routine. Then it's early and late overwork and I'm in trouble.

At this time, let's tease the college students. Saito, if you were me, I could trust you, because it's only been a year of doctors, and there shouldn't be a huge obstacle to stopping for a little bit of thesis, etc., more importantly, it should be a huge plus for his future to be related to such a huge theme "

Makimura opened the door to the student's room and said, "Saito, are you there? Oh, would you come in for a minute," he says, inviting Masato Saito, a graduate student, into his room.

Give Saito, who sat in the front, the revised paper he sent to Director Tanaka, who was on his desk. "Saito, you know about the paper I put on HP, too"

Saito nods.

"In fact, in response to that, a paper was sent as a reaction. I just gave it to you. That's a simplified version of the paper I modded.

I don't have a bit of time, so as for the content to be read later, the original one I sent proved the existence of the so-called ambient nuclear fusion I've been pursuing and even included its operating conditions. I find the content to be correct. This has also been agreed to by Dean Yamado.

On this matter, moves have already begun towards practical application. I can't talk about it specifically yet, but it's possible that pragmatization can be achieved within and outside of a year. As for the instrumentation, we are somewhat of a gatekeeper, but we are also certain that it cannot be put into practice without our assistance.

What I want you to do is ask me to assist you because I don't think I'll be able to get around to it alone in the future. For the time being, I would probably stop putting papers on academia, and classes could get rough. It's just, you know, this is a big job in science history, not in the near future. I don't know. "

Saito replies to Makimura's words. "Yes, Doctor! I'm happy. It's an honor. I'll do whatever I can."

"Thanks. For now. I want you to read this paper and understand it well. And."

Makimura says, taking the original paper out of the drawer. "If you gave it to me first, I can show it to the other grad students. But I definitely want this one to be your only secret. You can read it, but the content is too serious.

Then, I can see someone from the Ministry of Economics and Industry at the beginning of the afternoon, but probably coming from the hospital room, so I want you to let me through. "

Saito said, distracted by the paper, "Okay. You will read it for now," he replied, leaving the room.

After noon, there was a knock on the door leading to his graduate room, and Saito turned up and said, "Doctor, Mr. Hitachi wants to see you"

"Thanks for letting me through."

"Excuse me," a woman's voice, who came in was a little woman about 30 years old when she was dressed in a grey suit. Beautiful, but a little stubborn.

"My name is Hitachi Reimi. Director Tanaka told me."

"Thank you. It's hard because of the sudden. Weren't you prepared?"

"No, actually, I'm from Gangnam City. Perhaps the director thought about it."

"Really? Where is your home?" replies Hitachi to Makimura.

"Yeah, it's a 100 estate, so it's about a 15-minute drive from here."

"Quickly, I'm afraid, to what extent have you heard from the Director?

"Yeah, we've got a theoretical establishment here on ambient nuclear fusion and reactions that generate direct power, and we've even uncovered that operating factor? That means it is naturally possible to install it, so it is my role to help you to be specific in working on practical applications. In view of its importance, the Director has already been halfway through giving it a province and also asking for the cooperation of several private companies. Either way, if you don't make a proposal, you can't take it up there or to the government, so you mean that making a proposal is your first job" Hitachi answers the pastoral question.

"Okay. Sounds like you're asking me enough. By the way, have you heard anything about our university?" Hitachi further answers the pastoral question.

"Yes, naturally, the proposal needs the full guidance of Dr. Makimura, and in practical application, the teacher seems to have collaborators, but the director of the bureau has also started to make compromises with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Culture because he will be invited to Guijiangnan University."

"Okay. So let me give you a quick overview on the technical side."

After talking to day high for more than two hours, she says. "In general, I think the overview could have been swallowed. But hey, you have a tough budget calculation. This needs to go in early for those in the private sector."

"Even here, we try to ask for help from the Department of Materials Engineering, Mechanics and Electrical and Electronics of the Faculty of Engineering," says Makimura, but Hitachi is an invitation to entertainment.

"I'd like to ask you to do that, but if you spread it too far, it could be 'more bow, ship, climb the mountain', and it's an obnoxious place. I'm going to show my face to our station's Gangnam office for a bit now, how about a light meal this evening? Because I've taken the entertainment cost frame from the director. Dr. Yamado said it's not convenient during the day."

"Right. Because I think we're going to have a long relationship. Maybe it's good. Dr. Yamado seems to have a lot to talk about today with all the visitors and in-school, but I think the evening is free, so I'll call you," answers Makimura.

"Then, by about 5: 00, I'll make a call for the place. How about around 18: 30?"

"That's fine with time. Then it looks like a treat, please."

After Hitachi returned, Makimura peered into the hospital room and called Saito again.

Saito, have you read it?

"Yes. I read it. This is outrageous, isn't it? I didn't think you'd be excited to read a paper of this kind. But this is incredibly evolving from what was written before the teacher" Saito's exciting answer.

Makimura laughs bitterly. "Yeah, you'll see. I can't write that right now. Or conceiving and writing about it is a bit unimaginable. Indeed, I know that the original idea itself was my idea, and that it developed it. Also, you can follow your thoughts as you understand them. But there are three of them, the leap of ideas that I can't go beyond right now."

"Who wrote it," Saito asks Makimura.

"I'll tell you because you're going to be working with me, too, so I think I'll see you soon. It's an absolute secret. I know any of this will be obvious, but we need to keep it a secret as long as possible. The author is a 10-year-old boy in elementary school. I live in Gangnam City."

Saito sighed, looking seriously at Pastoral's face.

"I felt that way. If you're a person of that age, you can't be unknown before. Maybe this job is just a fraction of his abilities."

Saito goes on to say: "Dr. Makimura, it would be a great honor for you to add me to this case, but I think it would be a pretty hard job. Would you like to add another, master 2 year old Shingaki? She can be trusted, and her abilities are origami, as you know."

"Um, right. Let's just wait and see. It's still starting to move, so depending on the case, everyone in the lab could join us. Also, it would have been in Hitachi today. In the future, at least you will be added to the in-school discussions with her. For the moment, she will be asked to prepare a proposal for a development plan. Also, I will be joining the engineering department in the future, so I think I will ask you to adjust that."

Makimura says reluctantly.

"Okay," Saito said.
