He was mumbling something, and as he thought of something, his voice gradually became excited.
When he arrived at the station, he boarded the nearest high-speed train from Shangjing to Jinling. After several hours of driving, Lu Zhou finally got off the train at Jinling South Station.
Can a positive rumor be considered a rumor
It is foreseeable that once the United States is drawn into this space race, Congress will almost certainly re-examine existing scientific research projects and budgets, and cut off some less urgent projects to ensure NASA's appetite. can also be satisfied.
Noticing the stiff expression on Lu Zhou's face, Xu Yuanming suppressed laughter in his heart, coughed and said, "Our journalists are relatively optimistic, and optimism is good."
Didn’t I say that I’m not the chief designer
Lu Zhou: "..."
This is obviously not a pleasant thing for Benderbauer, and it is also something that is almost certain to happen.
But considering that he invited this meal, he decided not to care about these details...
"This is more important than anything else!"
[His three words accidentally revealed a shocking secret!]
Because many experiments require people to guard them, the institute is not closed at night.
Of course, even without Xiao Ai as an unsettling factor, it was almost time for him to go back.
"This is not good news."
This topic change was too abrupt.
After changing to the black Hongqi, Lu Zhou did not let Wang Peng take him home directly, but sent him to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
However, at this time, China suddenly announced the launch of the moon landing plan in a high-profile manner, and even announced a strategic layout for exploring helium-3 resources on the moon. This will undoubtedly have an impact on the demonstration reactor project in California.
Lu Zhou: "Well, I feel uneasy after leaving the laboratory for too long."
Not sure, that might be the key to solving the problem of landing on the moon...
"Take me to the station."
After a while, he spoke.
After China's STAR-2 demonstration reactor was announced to be successfully ignited at the beginning of the year, the United States also quickly launched its own national controllable fusion project, choosing a site to build a giant demonstration reactor device between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and also focused on the first phase of the project. The allocation has reached tens of billions of dollars.
Hold the grass
Just as Benderbauer was flipping through the newspaper with a heavy heart, the hand that was flipping the newspaper suddenly stopped.
After all, scientific research funding is not unlimited. No country can launch two super projects at the same time while maintaining smooth financial operations.
Lu Zhou smiled and said nothing.
These people were worried that they had no excuse to ask Congress for money. Now they feel comfortable. The country on the other side of the Pacific has given them an excuse.
With the resumption of China's manned moon landing plan and the implementation of the three policies, it has caused a sensation not only in the domestic media, but also attracted considerable attention around the world.
There are still a lot of secrets in Wreck No. 3 waiting for him to discover.
Putting down his cell phone and looking at the soybean braised pork belly that had just been served, Lu Zhou sighed and said, "You really caused me a big trouble."
As he started the car and hit the road, Wang Peng asked, "Are we going back to Jinling now?"
After letting Wang Peng go back alone, Lu Zhou walked into the main building of the institute alone, passed through the alloy door at the end of the corridor of the sample library on the second underground floor, and came to the laboratory on the third underground floor.
"China's Moon Landing Plan!" The beginning of a new space race? 》
However, when he walked into the laboratory and looked at the conditions inside, he was stunned.
His eyes were fixed on a certain line in the newspaper's interview with Lu Zhou.
At least on PPT, it won’t be very difficult.
"Plasma Engine! That's it!"
"Let's stop talking now and eat the food quickly. It won't taste good if the elbows are cold." Pretending not to hear, Xu Yuanming broke his chopsticks and said with a smile, "This is the only dish made in this restaurant." It’s pretty good. I used to come here to eat when I was in school. I didn’t expect that after so many years, the taste has not changed at all.”
After dinner, Lu Zhou and Xu Yuanming went to the private room and got into the car waiting at the door.
If nothing unexpected happens, this order will bring hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to his company, and will bring him a net worth increase of more than hundreds of millions of dollars on the Nasdaq stock market.
…
Of course he would not say that what he was worried about was not the unfinished experiments, but the fact that an artificially retarded person was having a great time playing with a new toy in his laboratory.
[Shock! Professor Lu, chief designer of the controllable fusion project, will lead a manned landing on the moon? !]
[Chief Designer Lu revealed in one sentence that the ultimate goal of the moon landing program was actually for it? !]
Lu Zhou: "???"
Stopping, Benderbauer looked at Professor Richter with a smile.
The outside world generally speculates that this is paving the way for second-generation controllable fusion. However, Professor Richter, who truly understands how difficult it is to achieve helium triple fusion, knows very well that these speculations are just nonsense.
"They are still far away from second-generation controllable fusion, so there is no need for you to worry."
"Plasma engine..."
"No, what worries me is not second-generation controllable fusion," Benderbauer put down the newspaper in his hand, leaning on his office chair and pressing his index finger between his eyebrows, "but the Congressional Budget Committee..."
[Lu Zhou: Our journey is the stars and the sea!]
In the president's office on the top floor, Benderbauer, sitting in an office chair, looked at the newspaper in his hand and frowned slightly.
Don’t these reporters listen to what others say
For example, the relatively unimportant plasma heating components...
However, whether it is controllable fusion or the moon, the United States is unwilling to give up.
"Sir, I'm not pouring cold water on you..." Looking at him strangely, Burton Richter reminded, "We haven't solved the most critical problem of controllable fusion yet. What are you planning to do by miniaturizing it?" Plasma engine up."
"Electric propulsion and controllable fusion are totally feasible! We can definitely combine these two concepts!"
Although he didn't get the news from the Daily Mail, he still knew something about it.
In this demonstration reactor project, TriAlpha relied on the excellent heating performance of the FRC field reverse configuration to successfully defeat its competitor General Atomics and obtain an order for heating components.
It may be postponed until the main body of the demonstration reactor is completed and the bidding may be re-opened.
Wang Peng said with a smile: "Aren't you on vacation? Why are you still so busy?"
Just a few hours ago, China announced specific measures to implement a manned moon landing plan, and made a rare high-profile announcement that it was preparing to establish a permanent scientific research station on the lunar surface to explore helium-3 reserves in the lunar soil.
"My dear Professor Richter, of course I know that before you can warm the bread, you must first have the bread."
"However, this is no longer the past. Before we can put bread on the table, we must first convince those who support us that we can do it!"
He could even imagine that scene, how the people at NASA cheered when they saw this news.
At a restaurant near the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, sitting at the table waiting for food, Lu Zhou looked a little unnatural as he looked at the words on the screen of his mobile phone.
The person who spoke was Professor Burton Richter, an expert in particle physics at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. In addition to being a professor, he is also a member of the advisory board of TriAlpha Energy Company and the winner of the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics. .
In particular, the British Daily Mail, one of the originators of the headline party and one of the most trouble-making newspapers, reported the news with a very provocative headline.
At the same time, Triple Alpha Inc.
Throwing away the newspaper in his hand, Benderbauer suddenly stood up from the office chair, walked around the office with his hands behind his back, and talked excitedly at the same time.
