Chapter 382 Leave Early and Feel at Ease

Have a headache when you hear English?

Xiang Pingshan, from the International Scientific Research Project Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was speechless.

This reason may sound far-fetched, but in fact it is even more absurd.

A dignified academician of the two academies gets a headache when he hears English?

What about the liar?

So many academic papers and materials are in English. For those engaged in academic research, English is an unavoidable obstacle.

Moreover, for scholars like Kang Chi, language is, at best, something that can be learned in some spare time.

What's there to worry about?

However, if Xiang Pingshan can find Kang Chi's information, he will know that what he said is actually not false at all.

Kang Chi has never failed in English since the first grade of junior high school...

If I hadn't been so partial to subjects, I would still have had a lot of hope in taking the second level exam back then.

Although Kang Chi later used a learning machine to supplement English in order to understand foreign academic materials, it was limited to reading and writing.

If we really want to test his listening and speaking skills, he may not be able to...

Kang Chi brought a cup of tea prepared by Bai Niu to Xiang Pingshan: "The purpose of cooperation is to learn from each other's strengths and create a win-win situation, but I haven't found out what our shortcomings are and what their strengths are."

"Even if there is, judging from the current positions of both parties, I don't think we can create a win-win situation with them. If we have the time to talk about cooperation and wrangling with them, maybe we have already done it ourselves."

Xiang Pingshan could only nod his head and said: "I understand... there is another matter."

"You say?"

"Country M is putting pressure on the ITER Council and wants them to choose one of the two."

"Choose one of the two? What about playing in the palace?" Kang Chi was speechless and said, "Don't they think too highly of themselves?"

"Hmm... But regardless of whether they think too highly of their importance in ITER, this matter makes it quite difficult for us to do..."

"The ITER Council conveyed their ideas to us privately, which means that country M can be kicked out. Anyway, they have never done anything serious..."

"But they hope that after they kick Country M out, we will be responsible for the funds that should be borne by Country M...even including the part they have been in arrears."

"If we don't accept it, they may side with country M. Of course, we think this is just a warning without any threat. No matter how you look at it, ITER cannot do without us now... What the leader means is, we want to Let’s hear your opinion.”

"My opinion is to retreat in order to advance, leave early and feel at ease early!"

Kang Chi said without hesitation:

"Domestic tokamak research has now been completely stopped. International cooperation projects involve many problems, and it is definitely not as easy to withdraw temporarily as domestic ones, so I have never raised this issue."

"But since they took the initiative to give us an opportunity, if we don't climb down the ladder now, when will we have to wait?"

Kang Chi's answer was also within Xiang Pingshan's expectation.

After all, the first thing the chief engineer did when he took office was to make a huge turn on the domestic controllable nuclear fusion route. The whole process was full of confidence and decisiveness, leaving no escape route for himself...

This made Xiang Pingshan couldn't help but ask: "Are you so sure that the tokamak device will not succeed?"

"Yes, I'm sure this road won't work... Maybe one day in the future, we can discover some new elements or particles, make some breakthroughs in materials science, and tokamak may return to the mainstream. , but at least for now, I think studying tokamak is a waste of resources.”

Hearing Kang Chi's clear and affirmative answer, Xiang Pingshan felt a little more at ease.

"I understand. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me."

"You're welcome... By the way, if our people withdraw from ITER, can they also paddle to my side?"

"This... I am only responsible for diplomatic negotiations. The specific personnel transfers are mainly coordinated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Organization Department. However, judging from the current situation, I personally think that after they return to China, there is a high probability that they will be assigned to the Jinwu No. 1 project. Come on."

Kang Chi nodded: "That would be great. I am short of talents in this field now."

"Especially if more commercial reactors are to be built in the future, more manpower will be needed. In this regard, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can actually start to consider how to make good use of this important technology to increase our influence, such as building several A transnational power grid or something like that..."

Hearing Kang Chi's words, Xiang Pingshan couldn't help but was stunned again...

The test reactor hasn't even been built yet, and you're already considering building a commercial reactor?

We always use Rejoice since childhood, right?

But complaints are complaints, and Kang Chi's suggestion still made Xiang Pingshan feel excited...

If the confident young man in front of him can really give China the gift package of controllable nuclear fusion, as he said, then he has to think carefully about how to use this gift package to re-plan the entire world. energy landscape.

Make your own rules and take the initiative in planning...

It sounds desirable!

After the conversation between the two ended, Kang Chi sent Xiang Pingshan to the door of the laboratory. Chen Hai, who had been guarding the door, saw that Kang Chi was about to close the door after seeing off the guests, so he quickly asked: "Well... can you give me some time?"

Kang Chi glanced at Chen Hai with some confusion, then nodded and said, "Come in."

Because Kang Chi stayed in the lab all day, he only communicated with other researchers when he came out, either solving problems or assigning tasks. Even Chen Hai, as the head of Kang Chi's security team, could not chat with him alone...

"Tea or coffee?"

Chen Hai shook his head and said to Bai Niu in a familiar way: "Give me a can of Sprite, iced."

"Okay."

"You are quite good at using my machine."

"Hehe, I learned this from you...Don't you think it's a waste of talent to let an industrial robot like Bai Niu serve you tea and water? And Bai Niu's appearance is not good...I strongly suggest you make a prettier humanoid robot. If it can be as realistic as a real person...it will definitely be a good choice. Selling out!"

"Uh..."

Seeing Chen Hai's meaningful smile, Kang Chi explained helplessly:

"You think too simply. Before the robot industry chain is built, the cost of making such a robot is too high. How many people can afford the price of hundreds of millions or even tens of millions? If you have the money to buy such an expensive robot, you can find tens or hundreds of real people..."

"Even if the rich think it's new and don't mind the price, it's useless if the mass production is not enough and can't be shipped. After the robot industry chain is established, the first to be produced will be war robots, and then civilian robots... We can only wait and see after one or two years."

"Well, I just made a suggestion. "

Chen Hai took the Sprite handed over by Bai Niu, opened it and took a sip.

"In fact, I feel that the civilian robot industry will definitely be several times larger than automobiles and semiconductors in the future. It may even directly replace the status of real estate. Not only can it make a lot of money, but it can also solve problems such as retirement, singleness, and selling Y plagiarism. I feel that it can be appropriately prioritized."

Who doesn't know this...

If it weren't for this reason, how could the leaders be willing to invest tens of thousands or hundreds of trillions?

"You asked me to give you time... just to talk to me about this?"

"That's not the case. I'm just chatting. Actually, it's Director Li from the Organization Department who wants to talk to you."

"Organization Department?" Kang Chi was a little confused, "Why are they looking for me?"

"Well, it seems... the country wants to give you a wife..."

"..."
