"Now that we have done what we need to do, we will now focus on development."
In the office, Chen Nian looked at the report just sent back from the front with satisfaction, with a relieved smile on his face.
Yes, the incident is not completely resolved, but at least, they will not be able to jump for a long time in the future.
In other words, as of now, external environmental issues have basically been resolved.
The entire world will slowly move from confrontation to cooperation.
Opposite Chen Guo nodded slightly and replied:
"Yes, the next three years will be a critical strategic window period before nuclear fusion technology is officially born."
"In these three years, we must use the fastest speed to lay a solid technological foundation and economic foundation to promote the development of military and national strength."
"Then we need to spend about 10 years to expand our influence and establish our global foundation."
"I know."
Chen Nian raised his hand to interrupt Chen Guo.
Chen Guo laughed. He could obviously understand what Chen Nian meant, so he skipped the topic and asked instead:
"Have you sorted out the follow-up project plans for your trip to Hefei this time? In addition to the lack of talent reported before, are there any other difficulties in resources and technology?"
Hearing this, Chen Nian frowned slightly.
What are the difficulties?
It should be said that the entire project is full of difficulties.
After it was determined to use metallic hydrogen as the coil material, the entire EAST device needed to be modified on an astonishing scale.
The usability of the original HT-7 device has been reduced to the limit, and it can basically be said to be starting from zero.
——
No, it should start from a negative number.
Because the first step is not construction, but demolition.
But fortunately, the EAST project team can be said to be familiar with this matter. After all, from T-7 to now, this tokamak device has been dismantled by them countless times.
In addition, even if we don’t talk about the technology itself, the construction of other ancillary facilities and equipment is not that easy.
Judging from the reports Chen Nian received, China National Nuclear Corporation No. 5 has begun inspecting the project site. It is expected that a large number of companies originally located on Science Island will be cleared, almost all local residents will be relocated, and large-scale civil construction work will be carried out.
The difficulty of this process does not fall into the technical category, but you want to say that it is not difficult?
The demolition alone has caused so many problems.
Therefore, Chen Nian still maintains relatively modest expectations for the project.
After all, when a project is large enough, you can't look at it from a purely technical perspective.
Thinking of this, he said:
"There are many difficulties in the entire project, but they are mainly concentrated in project operation and technology implementation."
"For me, in the purely technical field, there are basically no obstacles, and there is even room for improvement."
He was not bragging when he said this. Although the number of source points required for a commercial nuclear fusion device reached an astonishing 3,400 points, these 3,400 points were not spent at once.
The project cycle is three years in total, and the preliminary technical preparations will last about one and a half to two years. According to his current average monthly source point accumulation rate of 150 points, plus the 1,200 source points in hand, it can fully meet the needs of the project .
"clear."
Chen Guo nodded and continued to ask:
"The goal of the new EAST project is to directly build an engineering experimental reactor. The various systems involved are extremely complex and may still require you to spend a lot of time."
"At this point, do you have any other ideas?"
"For example, first establish a dedicated technical team to lead the project through technical penetration?"
Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian was also slightly startled.
In fact, he had considered this plan.
After all, my own power is too limited. Even with the support of the system, there is no difficulty in "technical preparation", but in "technical transfer", which consumes a lot of time and energy, there is actually no way to do it. An opportunistic approach.
Do you want to publish the picture? Do you want to write the document? Do you have to calculate the actual adaptation data?
When things are added up one by one, it is not as simple as it seems.
Therefore, it is best to have someone to share some of the work with you.
But the problem comes again. For this so-called "technical team" to reach the level of Chengdu that can take responsibility, it must ensure that their understanding of technology can reach at least 50% of their own level.
Doesn’t this evolve into teaching students?
Even if you choose from mature scholars who have been deeply involved in the current field for many years, it is difficult to choose the right candidate.
Because the technologies Chen Nian now possesses are all brand new.
It involves a lot of complex theorems and weird logic that humans have not touched before, and unlike Chen Nian, other people cannot directly pour information into their minds in a full-shadow, full-shadow way, and it is too difficult to teach them.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian suddenly felt something in his heart.
What if it is possible?
At this time in 2010, brain-computer technology has already produced preliminary research results. Just last month, Arizona State University announced that they successfully used brain-computer technology to allow a baboon to complete a game of "fighting" without contact. Bricks" game.
In other words, the soil for the development of brain-computer technology is already initially available.
Why not just work hard in this field?
If it succeeds, even if the nuclear fusion project cannot be applied, the subsequent role it can play will definitely be extremely important.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian silently unfolded the system interface and tried several different brain-computer excuse technology types that he had come into contact with one by one.
First of all, the simplest is of course the motion control direction currently being studied, which is to control external devices through the analysis of brain waves.
This technology only requires 60 source points, and even in its complete form with data packets, it only requires 410 source points.
——
But here's the problem, this thing doesn't match Chen Nian's needs.
What he wants is the same as the system he owns, a brain-computer interface that can directly transmit information in both directions, similar to an external memory.
As soon as the information was entered, a series of question marks blinded his eyes.
This also means that the technology of two-way transmission of information is not possible at all in the current environment.
——
It was exactly the same as when I first checked it a few years ago.
Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.
After all, it is a technology that can fundamentally change the direction of human evolution. It would be great if it were that easy.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"Then set up a technical team for me first."
"Personnel do not necessarily have to be experienced, but they must be capable and have strong learning ability."
"Don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements."
Chen Guo nodded happily, and after a moment, he said:
"In two days, the controllable nuclear fusion exchange conference we organized will begin. How about you just go to the conference and see if you have a chance to pick one?"
"You don't need to show your face, just watch the whole process."
Networking meeting?
Chen Nian thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Then go for it.
I just took this opportunity to see if I could make some money.
A few days later, Shanghai.
This is Chen Nian's first time to participate in a meeting of this kind in a public place. There is no doubt that he is still a little fresh.
In fact, this is also a small official attempt - to further relax Chen Nian's confidentiality requirements and to prepare for the work that needs to be done after his information is made public.
Although the identity is fake, the appearance is fake, and the documents are even fake, all the security work is real, and Chen Nian’s sense of participation as an academic leader is real.
He stood in the spacious hall. Representatives from various countries had basically entered the venue. Scholars who were familiar or unfamiliar took advantage of the report meeting not yet starting, and stood in the open space to have a brief social interaction.
The content they talked about may have nothing to do with technology, but in fact, this is also an important part of this type of report meeting.
As long as you can connect with other people, you will be able to use it one day.
Chen Nian certainly had no interest in this, but he was willing to observe other people's reactions.
Moreover, most of the time, he could tell the academic bastards hiding among a group of scholars at a glance, and silently marked them with a cross in his heart.
Seeing that the first report meeting was about to begin, Chen Nian casually found a seat in the back row and sat down, and began to look through the schedule that had been sent out long ago.
The person who gave the first report was not someone from the Chinese side - in fact, according to the agenda, there would be no reports from Chinese scholars until the last day of the meeting.
Before that, the content was arranged by scholars from other countries.
The finale was at the end. Chen Nian could easily understand this, but he was a little confused about the content of the report.
Because the scholars on the stage were talking about plasma detection, the core was "how to track the plasma 'spot' turbulence zone."
In fact, this topic cannot be said to be useless, because the so-called spots determine the interaction between plasma heat and particles inside the tokamak device. To some extent, the optimization of the turbulent zone can reduce the first wall pressure, enhancing the durability of the first wall.
But the problem is that the topic studied by this scholar is not to explore how to constrain turbulence, but to try to establish more advanced observation equipment and more complex algorithms to track the movement of plasma groups.
More sensitive spectroscopy and tomography equipment, stronger artificial intelligence algorithms, and more advanced plasma diagnostic technology.
The words are very good and seem very advanced, but what is their use?
You have to create the plasma first and maintain its stability.
Only halfway through, Chen Nian lost interest. He looked through the scholar's information, and sure enough he found the problem.
This person is a researcher at Tri-alpha, which is not an official research organization, but the famous Goldman Sachs and Google.
To put it bluntly, this is a commercial company controlled by capital.
Therefore, compared to other institutions that are dedicated to research, this company is more inclined to pursue technologies that are fast and easy to produce results, and the plasma detection technology in large-scale nuclear fusion projects is a very good target. .
——
What's more, with Google as technical support, they are indeed good at this aspect of content.
After figuring out the reason, Chen Nian was too lazy to listen any more. He simply leaned on the chair and rested half-listening.
However, his move aroused the interest of a white man not far away. He glanced at Chen Nian several times, and finally sat over, then patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Hey, sir, you think this report is boring, right?"
Chen Nian quickly sat up straight, glanced left and right subconsciously, and then looked at the approaching man.
——
This brother probably doesn't know yet, but in those few seconds, some security personnel may have already put their hands on the trigger.
"It's really boring. Detection of plasma turbulence is not the core problem we face now."
Chen Nian thought about his words and answered briefly.
"Of course not. They are just using their areas of expertise to polish their papers in order to get more investment."
The man deliberately lowered his voice, and then continued:
"You know, Tri-alpha is a commercial company, which is different from your various research institutions in China."
"This company has been too severely kidnapped by capital, and they are all chasing short-term interests."
"To be honest, why do they need to engage in nuclear fusion? It's all about making money anyway, so why not think more about how to make the advertising rankings on the web page more scientific?"
The man's tone was full of ridicule, which made Chen Nian couldn't help but become curious.
In fact, although I dislike it, Tri-alpha still has a very good reputation among the outside world.
Especially some people who do not believe in the official government will always regard such companies as lone heroes who save the world. In the eyes of a small number of scholars, Tri-alpha's research topics also have their own unique significance.
Therefore, meeting such a white man who slanders Tri-alpha without any pressure is really a small probability event.
So, Chen Nian smiled and asked:
"But they've become famous lately, haven't they?"
"That's just a dirty trick by Goldman Sachs to get the company's market value too high - and U.S. officials are also involved."
"You know, this country's economy is about to collapse, and people need some stimulants."
"In comparison, I still think more highly of you."
"There has never been any big news, but it has quietly solved the problem of room temperature superconductivity. In fact, this is the only purpose of my coming to this meeting."
“All I care about is the last day, and the rest is not even an appetizer to me.”
Chen Nian nodded slightly. In fact, this is what most people think.
But to say it so unscrupulously seems to be a bit of a compliment in front of myself.
"So, what's your field?"
Chen Nian asked.
"Me. The aspect of circumferential symmetry breaking."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Nian couldn't help but laugh.
No wonder this kid has such a strong grudge against Tri-Alpha.
I bet he is the one who really tries to solve the turbulence problem.
He worked so hard to do experiments and compile data, but others just brushed it aside and stole the limelight. How could he not be angry?
