Chapter 293
"Oh, I said they didn't release the real data because they had something to hide, and the real data didn't reach what they said, and then you said they did this to deceive us into thinking they had something to hide. Now I said they only lasted 370 seconds because they could only last 370 seconds, and you said they did this to deceive us into thinking they could only last 370 seconds. I've said everything to you, why don't you give some meaningful ideas?"
"My idea is that that's Xiao Yi, and we must never underestimate him. We have to consider the worst case scenario!"
"Bullshit!"
So, the two groups of people with opposite views stared at each other, and it seemed that there was an electric current between their eyes.
And this completely opposite view also led to them never reaching a conclusion.
However, this result was Xiao Yi's original purpose.
370 seconds is indeed a very suitable time.
They will definitely hesitate about the final conclusion.
And such hesitation will only make them watch the success of the plan to create the sun in the end.
…
With the great success of UNmini, all of Xiao Yi's plans were implemented without any obstacles.
The people in the entire controlled nuclear fusion research institute almost regarded Xiao Yi as a god. Now they basically do whatever Xiao Yi says, and never go west if he says go east.
At the same time, there is no resistance in politics. For example, Chu Lansheng, the former number one opponent, has now completely done what he said before: completely obey all the instructions of Chief Engineer Xiao. Even if there are other people who jump out to express doubts, he will directly lead the charge and beat the others to pieces.
In this way, less than a month later, the construction of the Zaori pile began.
The giant nuclear fusion reactor, which is 1,000 times larger than UOmini in volume, is also difficult to construct.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi's perfect engineering ability can also make him a top engineer. In terms of construction plan, the plan he gave is definitely the least difficult to construct.
The final construction time is expected to be 15 months, which is about 3 times that of UOmini. The construction site is not far from UOmini and is relatively closer to Chaohu Lake, so Chaohu Lake water can be used to provide the reactor with water needed for "boiling water".
Nuclear fusion does not need to discharge nuclear waste water like nuclear fission.
However, with the start of construction, such a large amount of work cannot be kept low-key.
If it is just an ordinary nuclear fusion experimental device, why do you need to dig such a large foundation?
Are you doing a magnetic confinement nuclear fusion experiment or a laser nuclear fusion experiment?
As we all know, those who study laser nuclear fusion are basically studying nuclear weapons.
However, if you really study laser nuclear fusion, you won't study it in such a place, so the possibility of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion is still greater.
So, what do you want to build with such a big project?
As a result, various foreign intelligence organizations have begun to run around for this matter.
Chapter 247 Do you really think we can achieve nuclear fusion?
ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project, is headquartered in Karadache, France.
At the beginning, there was a lot of controversy about the location of the headquarters, which was also an important reason why the ITER project could not be promoted at the beginning.
At that time, there were two pre-selected locations, one in Japan and the other in France.
The reason given by Japan was that its construction site was close to the port and a US military base. Naturally, the United States agreed to this, and South Korea also supported it.
France said that there were ready-made research facilities in Karadache and the climatic conditions were better, so it also received support from the European Union, China and Russia.
In the end, the United States considered the cooperative relationship with Europe to be more important than Japan, so this plan was completed in France.
Of course, from the original perspective, there is no doubt that this scientific plan has a good starting point, to carry out international scientific cooperation and jointly develop nuclear fusion.
If it can be realized, it can also benefit all countries.
But unfortunately, such an organization is always subject to political interference, which always hinders the organization's research and development plans.
In addition, as time goes by, the leaders of various countries change, which further leads to changes in the policies of leaders of various countries towards this organization.
As a result, this organization, which was originally based on the same scientific goal, inevitably becomes an extension of politics.
However, for various international organizations, this can probably be regarded as a general trend.
In the headquarters conference room.
"Dear representatives of member countries and directors, hello."
"Today is November 15th, and this weekly meeting is numbered 2025-046."
At the first seat, Pietro Barabasi, the current chairman of ITER, read out the agenda of this meeting.
"First of all, as usual, I will report to all directors on the progress of the current tokamak host installation."
"The installation of the tokamak host has been completed more than half, and the installation of subsystems such as magnets, vacuum chambers, blankets and divertors has been successfully completed. The remaining power supply system is being installed and is expected to be completed next month."
"In other words, our scientific goals for this year have basically been met. As chairman of the council, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks again to all member states that have invested."
"I wish our International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor will ultimately achieve satisfactory success."
Then, Barabasi was the first to applaud, and then everyone else followed suit, but it was a little sloppy.
Soon, the applause stopped.
The conference room became quiet again.
It seems that everyone knows what is going to happen next, so it will not be simple.
Barabasi said: "Let's move on to the second topic. This topic was raised by Director Shigeru Yamamoto. Please start it, Mr. Shigeru Yamamoto."
Finally, everyone looked in the direction of the Japanese member states.
Then the Japanese board representative, Shigeru Yamamoto, stood up, nodded and bowed, then sat down again and said into the microphone: "First of all, on behalf of Japan, I would like to congratulate ITER on its current success and wish that we can eventually successfully ignite nuclear fusion." Fire, providing unlimited energy to the world.”
"Of course, this is also the primary goal of our ITER organization since its establishment. Each of our member countries is playing its own role and working hard for this purpose."
Having said this, Yamamoto Shigeru paused, then changed the topic and said: "However, unfortunately among our member states, some member states are working together to achieve this goal. It has acted dishonestly, failing to truthfully report its current research progress to other member states, and failing to be transparent and public about its results. "
"I think this is bad. According to the ITER Agreement, every member country is obliged to share scientific research results with the ITER organization and promote the development of fusion technology on a global scale."
"And individual member states have not fully complied with their obligations in this matter. I think this member state should be punished."
At this time, Yamamoto Shigeru turned his attention to where the Chinese delegation was sitting and said: "As for the individual member states I am talking about, I refer to China."
"China has been hiding the related experiments of their latest nuclear fusion experimental project UOmini for some time in recent times. This matter has been raised in many meetings in the past, but Mr. Fang, the representative of China, They used various reasons as excuses, and until now they have not actually published the specific data from their original experiments and failed to share the results with us. "
"This happened a few months ago, and now, according to some relevant reports, China has started another major project near the previous UOmini project. According to analysis, the purpose of this project should be It is to build the nuclear fusion device in their previously announced EAST-S plan.”
"However, based on the currently known area of the project, it is estimated that if a new magnetic confinement nuclear fusion project is built here, whether it is a Tokamak device or a UO device, the final volume The size is estimated to be about 500 to -1500 times that of UOmini. For this reason, the volume is even several times that of ITER! If the plasma volume is considered, it is even more than ten times!"
"We really want to know, what is the purpose of China's move?"
"I also invite everyone to discuss this matter together. If China has made breakthrough progress in nuclear fusion technology, it should be shared with everyone at ITER. I believe all the directors also recognize this."
"That's what I'm bringing up today."
Bowing again, Yamamoto Shigeru sat back down.
Immediately afterwards, the American board representative Dorov McCarran also spoke and expressed support for Yamamoto Shigeru's proposal. Of course, everyone present basically knew that the Japanese would bring up this matter, and in fact they all divorced the United States. No relationship.
"I very much agree with Mr. Yamamoto's opinion. Controllable nuclear fusion is of great significance to mankind and can guide us towards a real future. Every country should contribute to this common goal and should not hide selfish interests. I hope that China Friends can also recognize this spirit.”
Later, the South Korean representative also echoed.
It can be said that he is the lead singer and the dog follows, and his words are more intense and aggressive.
"...If China cannot truthfully provide relevant data and technology, I propose to launch a vote to kick China out of ITER!"
After that, representatives from several other member states also made speeches. India, the European Union, and Russia. Russia expressed neutrality because of its allies. Representatives from India and the European Union basically agreed with Shigeru Yamamoto’s proposal and asked China to The country announced detailed information.
Soon all the major member states finished speaking, and everyone's eyes turned to the face of Director Hua, waiting for him to speak.
Director Zong Chengping of Huaguo smiled, turned to the other three vice-directors and said, "Here we go again."
The three deputy directors also smiled.
During this period of time, they have experienced enough of this kind of thing, and basically they don't have much reaction.
Zong Chengping then turned his head, glanced around at the people present, and then said: "Mr. Yamamoto's words are conclusive, as if this is indeed the case, but the entire statement is only based on speculation."
"Is it just digging a slightly larger foundation and making a breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology? Then there are big projects under construction in China all the time. Is it possible that in these places it is because we are in certain places? An important technological breakthrough?”
"In other words, we see large-scale construction going on in some places in Japan. Is it because Japan is planning to build a nuclear bomb?"
"It's really ridiculous. I suggest that Mr. Yamamoto stop making wild guesses before he has substantive evidence."
"The reason why the area we started is relatively large is just because we want to build a comprehensive research institute around UOmini there to provide relevant researchers with research and living conveniences, etc. Our country covers 9.6 million square kilometers. How come it has turned into a super large nuclear fusion device that can even reach a thousand times the size of UOmini in your mouth? "
"We don't even know about this!"
"In addition, I always feel that you think that China has achieved nuclear fusion. Don't you all think this way?"
"They say nuclear fusion is still fifty years away from experimentation. How come it's just a matter of breath here?"
"I hope this is true, so I would be very happy to quit ITER directly. After all, we have succeeded, right?"
At this point, Zong Chengping burst out laughing, making Yamamoto Shigeru and other four Japanese representatives blush. It felt like Zong Chengping was laughing at them.
"Okay, that's all I have to say."
After finishing laughing, Zong Chengping turned to the Koreans again and said: "As for the plan proposed by Korean representative Director Kim just now to vote us out of the council, haha, Director Jin can give it a try. Every year in our country, Pay your membership fees on time and share the costs. However, the Korean government seems to have not paid its membership fees regularly for several years, and the proportion of technology sharing is also very low. I think it is appropriate for you to withdraw from ITER on your own. "
Several Koreans suddenly turned red with anger.
Several other member states nearby began to speak one after another, comforting Zong Chengping, and then reminded Japan not to raise such an issue without evidence in the future. In addition, they also persuaded South Korea not to mention kicking out of China in the future. thing.
