Chapter 389 The Battle of Fate Has Begun!

In the office, Xu Chuan was silent for a moment.

To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to the antitrust investigation against him.

His current demand for funds is there, but not that high.

And more importantly, he is a scholar and a scientific researcher, not a businessman.

To put it simply, if you have no desires, you will be strong.

He has nothing to ask for from the United States, so there is no need to offend him.

But when it comes to ITER, other domestic scholars and the development of controllable nuclear fusion, he has to think more about it.

Xu Chuan did not ask why the United States did this, nor did he ask them what reasons they had for doing so.

Because he knew that for that country to really do these things, the most common and even illogical excuse would be enough.

Anyway, this is not the first time that the United States has been shameless.

The question now is how to deal with this matter.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Chuan looked at Tan Yangxu and asked, "What do you think? Are there any arrangements or countermeasures?"

Tan Yangxu replied cautiously: "This matter is very troublesome. After receiving the relevant news, we have already held a meeting to discuss it. But to be honest, we don't have any good solution."

"The purpose of my coming here this time is also to communicate with you and see how to deal with these things."

Xu Chuan couldn't help but frowned when he heard Tan Yangxu asking for his opinion.

After thinking for two minutes, Xu Chuan looked up at Tan Yangxu. Upon seeing this, the director of the energy company immediately sat up straight and waited for instructions with a solemn expression.

Not paying much attention to this, he tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Let me tell you my opinion."

Hearing this, Tan Yangxu quickly took out his notebook and prepared to record it.

Xu Chuan thought for a while, organized his words and then said: "First of all, based on my understanding of the United States, if I disclose the two technologies of high-temperature superconducting materials and CNC models this time, the Americans will still push for other technologies next time. thing."

"The key point for the Dawn Device to make such great progress now lies in these two technologies. If it is handed over, it will not only cause us to lose our lead in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, but it will also have a huge impact on other fields."

"In my mind, this is a new race."

"Although ITER has indeed provided us with a lot of help in the past, we have also paid billions or tens of billions in funding and related technologies for ITER, and getting help from there is not free."

"And today's ITER is actually not that helpful to us. On the one hand, the progress of ITER is far less than that of Dawn. On the other hand, with Dawn making such great progress, I am afraid that other countries will not continue to do so." Provided us with technical help.”

"After all, you and I both know the importance of controllable nuclear fusion."

"So instead of being controlled by others in ITER, we might as well exit ITER directly!"

"As for those scholars and researchers who were originally doing research on ITER, if they are willing, I can take them all over."

"Of course, by doing this, all our previous investment in ITER will be lost, which is indeed regrettable. But the matter has come to this, and it should be put to rest."

"Back down, it's impossible for us to back down, and there is no way out."

In Xu Chuan's view, instead of continuing to stir up trouble at ITER, it would be better to withdraw personnel and funds directly and focus on our own work in China.

What ITER can provide is actually not that attractive to today’s Dawn.

As for the future development trend of controllable nuclear fusion and subsequent research directions, is he still worried about this if he is here?

In this area, Xu Chuan dared to say that the entire ITER combined could not beat him alone.

On the opposite side, Tan Yangxu quickly recorded some key information, and then asked with some concern: "Withdrawing from ITER is also a way, but will this have any impact on the development of our controllable nuclear fusion field?"

Before coming here, it was not like the high-level officials had not consulted experts and academicians from the Academy of Sciences to learn about some things in this area.

Although it is indeed a huge loss to withdraw from ITER and give up those previous investments, it is not unacceptable to the country.

However, if withdrawing from ITER will have an impact on the development of controllable nuclear fusion in the country, it needs to be considered.

Of course, the most important opinion comes from the young national treasure-level scholar in front of him.

If he thinks it's okay to withdraw, then his opinion will definitely be taken into consideration.

After all, it was he, not others, who led China's controllable nuclear fusion field to the top and created miracles.

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan actually relaxed a lot. He leaned back on his chair and smiled relaxedly: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that there won't be much impact on this aspect."

"EAST may be affected to some extent, but for Daybreak, the impact is almost negligible. After all, Daybreak has been an independent project from the beginning."

After a pause, he continued: "And based on the current progress of Dawn, ITER can no longer provide any help. We have achieved more than two hours of operation and have started deuterium and tritium fusion experiments, while other countries , except for the Spiral Stone 7X, they are basically still conducting experiments in seconds.”

"Do you think that those who are more backward can provide us with great help?"

Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Tan Yangxu also smiled.

Indeed, in a certain field, backward countries may have some unique advantages in technology, but the countries that really promote this field forward must be the ones who are at the forefront.

Smiling, he said: "With your words, Academician Xu, I feel relieved. I will fully feedback today's communication and your opinions."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Tan Yangxu smiled and stood up, saying goodbye and left the office.

In the office, Xu Chuan watched Tan Yangxu leave, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to think.

In his opinion, this is a new competition, and its intensity is no less than the Cold War of the last century.

And under the general trend, the only real answer is to move forward.

The changes in the field of controlled nuclear fusion are the beginning of this competition, and perhaps it will also be the key to determining the new world pattern.

As a key figure at the center of this vortex of disputes, all he can do is to do his best to promote the development of Dawn, so that the spark of controlled nuclear fusion can be lit first on this land of China.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan opened his eyes, took a long breath, and walked towards the laboratory.

The dispute of fate has begun again from this moment!
