ITER, an international joint research and development organization for nuclear fusion, is now being called upon by the American family.
And this is why the Dragon Kingdom has always been on the edge within ITER.
At the beginning of its establishment, the United States was at the peak of its strength, but it was at a time when the development of science and technology was strictly restricted.
Chips, photolithography machines, nuclear fusion, carbon fiber, etc., various technologies are controlled by interest groups headed by the United States.
At that time, the Dragon Kingdom did not have the status it has now, and its technology, military, etc. were all at a disadvantage.
Under such circumstances, after establishing ITER, it is natural to know who to serve.
As for why Long Guo was brought in, it was because Long Guo was willing to give money!
Besides, giving hope to Long Guo and blocking the road for him is the most correct approach.
In fact, this is also the case. During the years that Longguo was within ITER, it had almost no core part of nuclear fusion-related information, and instead wasted more than ten years!
But now...
ITER has not succeeded in igniting the fire of nuclear fusion for more than half an hour, but Dragon Kingdom has succeeded quietly!
The United States has been in a weak position during this period, and now its international credibility has dropped to an all-time low.
I originally wanted to take a break and come up with a super technology to shock the world and tell them that the United States is still a world power, but before it even started, I was shocked again by the Dragon Kingdom!
Bai Deng looked at the middle-aged blond man who came in front of him, knocked on the table with his hand and asked:
"Austin! Now please tell me, how do you explain it!"
"Why did the Dragon Kingdom successfully ignite the nuclear fusion ignition experiment? It even surpassed us in the critical time!"
Bai Deng's pale hair trembled with his angry questioning, and his whole person looked angry and questioning.
The blond Austin looked at Biden and then at Vice President Harris beside him.
"Mr. President, I have nothing to explain, and I have no way to make any promises to you."
Bai Deng became even more excited when he heard this, and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
"Austin, do you know what you are talking about? If you can take the position of the leader of ITER, don't forget who helped you, and don't forget where your motherland is!"
At this time, Harris immediately softened and said:
"Mr. President, please calm down a little. I think Austin should have a reasonable explanation."
Austin sighed helplessly.
"Mr. President, I said there is no explanation for this matter. It is just a nuclear fusion ignition experiment. This is not completely controllable nuclear fusion. I hope the two politicians will not accuse and question without knowing anything. ITER’s.”
At this time, Harris showed a puzzled expression.
"With all due respect, when we asked Long Guo to join ITER, we only wanted to better restrict them from researching nuclear fusion technology. We have also reached a clear consensus with other Western countries to strictly keep all technical information about nuclear fusion confidential, but now it seems Dragon Kingdom's first test broke our own record, which makes it difficult for us to believe that ITER did not leak data."
Austin felt helpless after hearing what Harris said. He took a step forward and continued to say to the two of them:
"I just said that nuclear fusion ignition does not mean that controllable nuclear fusion has been mastered. Even if the ignition time exceeds ours, it does not mean anything. ITER has never proactively provided any core technology and research data to Longguo, but the basic fusion experimental information is still It has been provided. After all, we are also one of the member states. They probably conducted the ignition experiment based on this information. Now it seems that they were just lucky and succeeded at the first time."
"What we have to do now is to ask the Dragon Kingdom to hand over the existing research materials. In the name of the ITER organization, this is the agreement that everyone signed at the beginning. After joining ITER, as long as any country makes progress on the basis of our ITER Corresponding research materials must be handed over.”
After listening to this, Bai Deng showed a thoughtful expression, and his thin old fingers slowly tapped on the table.
There is indeed nothing wrong with what Austin said. The Dragon Kingdom has never relied on the character of other countries.
Western countries are taking advantage of the Dragon Kingdom, so isn't it possible that the Dragon Kingdom is taking advantage of them?
Obtaining the initial ignition material for nuclear fusion means that there is a foundation, and it is entirely possible for Long Guo to conduct its own research later.
After all, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. When the whole world thought that it was impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to research nuclear weapons, it only took the Dragon Kingdom two and a half years to complete what other countries had done in five or even seven years. .
Harris' eyes changed, and finally he suggested to Biden:
"I think what Austin said is right. The success of Longguo cannot be separated from the help of our ITER organization. It is reasonable and reasonable for us to require Longguo to provide experimental data and materials according to the agreement."
"The whole world is watching now. I think Long Guo has always flaunted itself with integrity and would not dare to refuse it publicly."
When Bai Deng heard this, he could only nod his head and said:
"It can only be like this. The only thing that makes people unhappy is that we, ITER, have so many national talents, but Dragon Country actually made the first breakthrough. It is really hard to accept."
Harris didn't pay attention to this, but hesitantly said:
"The current strength of the Dragon Kingdom is not what it used to be..."
Austin smiled and said indifferently:
"Your Excellency, as long as Long Guo is reasonable, the foundation of nuclear fusion cannot be separated from the scope of our ITER research, he can't hide. After all, this is a major event of global concern. I don't believe that Long Guo dares to make such a decision in front of global attention. It’s a matter of burning bridges across rivers.”
"And this layer of moral shackles has been worn by the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years since ancient times. I don't believe that they have suddenly taken it off now."
Biden and Harris looked at each other, and then Harris gave the final instruction:
"The United States will support ITER's decision, but this can only be done by ITER."
Austin shook his head, his eyes became serious, and he said to the two of them seriously:
"ITER is justified in taking the lead, but support from the United States alone is not enough. I need other ITER member states to come forward and express their stance, and Western countries must exert public pressure."
"The current Dragon Kingdom is not the same as before. Without enough pressure, they might simply ignore ITER's demands."
After hearing this, Bai Deng did not refuse, but just smiled and said:
"Then let it be like this. I will try my best to facilitate your conditions. This should happen sooner rather than later."
"Of course, the President can just wait for my news."
After speaking, Austin slowly exited the conference room under the signal of the two people.
After a while, after confirming that the person had gone away, Biden looked at Harris and said:
"With the Dragon Kingdom's technology in hand this time, it's time for us to prepare our own nuclear fusion device in the United States."
"Of course, Mr. President..."
…
After several people met at the White House to make decisions, ITER quickly carried out a series of actions.
First, the message was conveyed to Long Guo through the organization.
Then I started to accept interviews in the media.
In a live broadcast room, Austin, the leader of ITER, spoke beautiful words to the camera.
"We are very happy that Dragon Kingdom has successfully exceeded the half-hour nuclear fusion operation time. Simply put, this is a small step for Dragon Kingdom, but it is a giant step for the world."
"Scientific research is a process of continuous pursuit of exploration, where everyone learns from each other's strengths and complements each other's weaknesses and grows."
"I think this is also the original intention of the establishment of the ITER organization. As one of the member countries of ITER, Longguo can achieve such an achievement. This is a result that all of us ITER member countries are very happy to see. On behalf of all ITER member countries, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Longguo. Congratulations!"
At this time, the host on the side showed a strange expression, and he asked curiously:
"Wow, if I remember correctly, Minister Austin should be from the United States. With the current international relations between the United States and the Dragon Kingdom, you actually say that you are not worried..."
At this time, Austin waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I understand what you mean, but I just said that scientific research is a major event for all mankind. Such breakthroughs in Longguo are benefiting mankind. We, ITER, are a simple scientific research organization and have no intention of paying attention to these. I believe that science has no borders. I think Long Guo thinks so too.”
"And we, ITER, do not belong to any country. We are an international joint research organization on nuclear fusion. We all share a knowledge platform, theories and core technologies. It can be said that the success of Dragon Kingdom is also due to the efforts of all other member states. And crystallization, from this aspect, the success of Dragon Kingdom represents the result of the efforts of all member countries, and we will naturally congratulate it happily!"
After saying this, all netizens around the world who watched the live broadcast immediately understood the reason.
This live broadcast is also being played at the Dragon Kingdom Ark Academy of Sciences base.
Liu Zhongmin, Xu Zhou and others looked at what Austin said and immediately sneered.
