The popular view in academic circles now is that it will take fifty years for controllable nuclear fusion to be realized, and it will be fifty years forever. That is to say, in 2007, everyone expected it to be realized around 2057. By 2008, this time

The node has changed to 2058 again.

Now that Lu Qiujian has shortened this time to fifteen years, no wonder Qin Feng is so excited; before, he thought it would be good to see the dawn of controllable nuclear fusion in his lifetime. Now according to the time point given by Lu Qiujian,

He can definitely witness the success of Xihe's plan during his term of office, so how can you control your emotions?

"The statement that controllable nuclear fusion is still fifty years away is based on the fact that the input of crude oil remains unchanged. Now we have invested such a large amount of money, manpower and material resources, so we can shorten the time to fifteen years.

Years!" Lu Qiujian explained, "In addition, research in basic fields is developing day by day, so maybe it won't take this long in the future!"

What’s more important is that I am in charge of this project! If it had been anyone else, it might not have gone so smoothly. Of course, Lu Qiujian would not have said this if he was not self-effacing, “Of course, at this point in time, it was established at the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China

We have always given full support to the project and will not reduce investment or allocate manpower to other projects midway. If such a thing happens, I cannot guarantee it!"

"You can rest assured that since the central government has decided to launch the Xihe Plan, it has already made preparations for long-term support!" Qin Feng said firmly, "Our predecessors completed two bombs and one bomb under such difficult conditions.

Now that our situation is much better than before, there is no reason to abandon such a plan midway!"

"Actually, the Xihe Project does not lack the ability to create its own hematopoiesis! You know that I worked at CERN for a period of time. Although CERN mainly conducts research in basic fields, it has also produced many projects with extremely high economic value.

By-products, such as bringing huge benefits to the entire human society

The changing Internet!" Lu Qiujian took CERN as an example. "The Xihe Plan involves research in materials science, lasers, low-temperature superconductors, artificial intelligence, super batteries and other fields. These can bring great economic benefits.

The research will reward you and at the same time promote the development of our country’s national defense industry!”

"At the beginning of the plan, we still need blood transfusions from the central government. In the future, maybe the economic value created by Xihe's plan will far exceed the funds provided by the central government." Lu Qiujian said with confidence.

"The old man said back then that science and technology are the primary productive forces!" Qin Feng nodded and replied, "Someone also said that there is nothing with a higher return rate than investing in science! In the past 100 years, our country has developed precisely because of science. Only because of technological backwardness will we be bullied by the great powers and go through a long period of humiliation! It is for this reason that after the founding of the People's Republic of my country, we had to vigorously develop two bombs and one satellite under such difficult conditions; now the opportunity of history has come to our generation. We will never miss this opportunity to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

"I know you have also taken a lot of risks, but I will never let you down!" Allocate funds close to a few thousandths of China's total annual GDP to a project, but cannot explain the actual results of the project in detail.

Due to the situation, even the board of elders is under tremendous pressure.

It is actually very risky to use a nationwide system to carry out a large-scale scientific research project like this; this risk is reflected in many aspects; first, how to ensure that such investment will definitely produce results? Second, how to ensure the efficient use of these funds?

Is there any better

For example, China and the United States launched a certain scientific research competition at the same time. China spent 10 billion U.S. dollars to complete the project, but a genius from the United States came out and completed everything with a billion U.S. dollars, and the effect was better than

The country of China is great! How should outsiders evaluate this?

This kind of thing is not uncommon in history. For example, the Uranium Club led by Heisenberg and participated by top scientists such as Hahn, Geiger, Laue, and Porter, and the Uranium Club led by Oppenheimer, Fermi, Bohr, Chadway

The Manhattan Project, which involved many geniuses such as Clark and Feynman, competed for the atomic bomb; Germany ultimately fell short after investing a large amount of money.

Of course, there are reasons why Germany's heavy water plant was blown up by the Allies, there was a lack of moderator, the graphite was not pure enough, Germany did not invest as much as the United States, and Hitler's policies drove away a large number of outstanding scientists, but Heisenberg's team was not as good as Austria's.

Benheimer's team is also a very important reason.

Lu Qiujian is not worried in this regard. He can be sure that he is the best scientist in this field; and other countries have not yet launched such a large-scale plan; he is confident that he can realize the application of controllable nuclear fusion before all countries.

.

He is confident in these things, but the confidence of the elders may not be as strong as his. Although Qin Feng says so now, if no results are achieved for a long time in the future, then the next step will definitely be to reduce funds or even cancel the project! He also

Will fall from the clouds to the bottom.

Therefore, in order to help them build confidence so that they can provide continuous support to themselves, and explain to Chinese people and other countries around the world where the Xihe Plan funds are going, Lu Qiujian has to lead the team to continuously launch various results and put these results into practice.

The results will be announced after screening.

Those core results that are closely related to controllable nuclear fusion can only be reported to the Board of Elders, while other results such as low-temperature superconductors, super batteries, etc. that are not only applicable to the field of nuclear fusion can be directly disclosed and publicized. Like the previous

That's what artificial intelligence is like.

Then Lu Qiujian reported to Qin Feng based on the project timeline he planned in advance, "The first stage is the construction stage of the experimental reactor. It starts from when we settle in the base and is expected to last five to six years; the second stage

It is the experimental stage of thermonuclear fusion operation, during which the performance of nuclear fusion fuel will be verified. The experimental reactor uses

The reliability of materials, the developability of nuclear fusion reactors, etc., to carry out scientific and technical certification for large-scale commercial development of fusion energy, this stage will last seven to ten years! The third stage is the closing stage, by which time the base

The experimental reactor will be dismantled and decommissioned, and new commercial nuclear fusion power plants will be built at the same time!"
Chapter completed!
