In the conference room of the Institute of Plasma of the Academy of Sciences, everyone present was shocked and even a little incredulous when they heard the news from Wan Yuanxi. It has only been more than a month, and [Star Halo] has been successfully built. The progress of the [Star Halo] project is faster than he imagined.
"Has [Star Ring] been built so quickly?"
"Academician Wang, is this a joke?" Li Jian asked uncertainly.
"This is the news from Lao Wan. There is no need for Lao Wan to make such a joke, right? With the help of the intelligent robots of the Army Ant Company and the already planned construction steps, the construction efficiency is very fast. This is a picture of the star ring. .”
Wang Nian clicked on a photo on the computer, and the appearance of [Star Ring] appeared in front of everyone. Seeing the appearance of the star ring, the academicians and senior experts present were full of surprise and some couldn't believe it.
"Can this controlled fusion experimental device work?" Ke Jianye said with a frown.
He is a senior plasma research expert. Although he is not at the level of an academician, he is only one step away from becoming an academician.
"I don't know about that. Lao Wan said that this was independently designed by Academician Chen. The internal structure is somewhat similar to that of a tokamak, but some structures are very unique. Lao Wan could not disclose the specific details. During the call, Lao Wan But I have great admiration for Academician Chen, and how many people can compete with Academician Wan in the field of plasma research today?" Wang Nian said.
This sentence already carries enough weight.
When Wang Nian said this, the curiosity of all the experts present was piqued.
"Unfortunately, you need to join the project to view the design drawings of the device. Academician Wan cannot show us the design drawings."
Wang Nian was a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do. After all, they are working on two projects now, and what they are researching must not be disclosed to the outside world. There is a confidentiality clause.
"Academician Wan conveyed that Academician Chen hopes that all tritium will be sent over for experiments, the sooner the better. If we want to watch the fusion experiment in progress, we can also send personnel over. The controlled fusion experiment is being prepared. As soon as the tritium arrives, they will Can get started.”
"This is not child's play. It's such a careless experiment. I'm not sure whether the device is functional. Isn't this a waste of resources?" said Ke Jianye, a veteran expert.
"Old Ke, whether the device will work or not is not what we are worried about. Since Academician Chen has said that it can be tested, then he has a point. After all, Academician Chen is not an ordinary young man. His current achievements have far surpassed ours. The total of everyone combined.
When Academician Chen works, he pays attention to efficiency. Efficient intelligent robots, as well as commands like arms and fingers. They don't have as many review procedures and rules and restrictions as we do here. It's normal to be efficient and not to be said to be sloppy. "
Wang Nian knew that Ke Jianye was straightforward and didn't know how to speak, so he explained it to him. He has been in contact with Chen Mo and knows that Chen Mo is a person who pays attention to efficiency. Otherwise, he would not have been able to develop so many shocking technologies in just a few years.
Efficiency issues are also something they sometimes struggle with.
When they set up a project and apply for R&D funding, they also have various research materials that need to be reviewed carefully. The review was slow, their research funds were not available, and the project had to be delayed for some time before it could start.
Just like studying controlled nuclear fusion technology, Chen Mo can get tens of billions of funds in place with just one sentence, but it is impossible for the Academy of Sciences to do it.
Army Ant is a private enterprise, and Chen Mo's words are the highest order. There is no need to worry about these, and the efficiency is high. But the Academy of Sciences is different, with many projects, and their R&D funds are also limited. In order for R&D funds to be used wisely and avoid being abused, it must be reviewed at all levels.
So he lamented that Chen Mo was very efficient, but he could never be like Chen Mo, who could decide everything with just one sentence.
"You can visit Academician Chen's fusion experiment. Which of you wants to go?" Wang Nian asked, returning to the topic.
"It just so happened that the hyperring experiment project had not started during this period, so I applied to come and have a look. Academician Chen's fusion theory is unique and is indeed of great help to plasma research. I want to see what can be achieved based on that theory. What effect will technology have?" Li Jian was the first to speak.
He is the person in charge of the Eastern Hyperring Experimental Project. It is a rare experiment, and he will not let go of such a good opportunity.
"I'm going over too. I want to see if the device built in such a short time will work." Ke Jianye said after thinking for a moment.
Others also spoke one after another. There was no controlled nuclear fusion experiment in a year or two. Even if they knew that the final result might be failure, they would go through it. Even if you only get a little experience, it is a rare gain. Major experimental results are all summarized from such failures again and again.
All seven academicians and senior experts in the conference room chose to go.
The [Star Ring] device of the controlled nuclear fusion project has been completed and is about to enter the experimental stage. The news has not been disclosed to the outside world, so the outside world does not know about it and thinks that the nuclear fusion project is still under study.
If the outside world knew that Chen Mo's controlled nuclear fusion project had entered the experimental stage less than a year after its establishment, they would probably be shocked.
Like the ITER project, several countries have been arguing for more than 20 years, spending countless amounts of money, but the experiment has been delayed again and again. Now if the progress of Chen Mo's controlled fusion project is exposed, I am afraid that people all over the world will scold the ITER project organization.
But outsiders don't know that Chen Mo is so fast because he has ready-made and complete theoretical technologies in the science and technology library, as well as his own super brain, and an artificial intelligence that is beyond the times, regardless of the cost.
Three days later.
A large transport vehicle entered Science Island under the escort of special police. On the transport truck was the 'tritium' raw material sent by the Nuclear Industry Group. 500 grams of 'tritium' was loaded in a special container with layers of protection inside.
Not long after the transport vehicle entered the Science Island, a bus, escorted by SWAT and special personnel, approached the Science Island.
Inside the bus were academicians and experts from the Institute of Plasma.
This is a very precious national treasure team. Every academician and senior expert is a rare research talent. So confidentiality and protection are very much in place.
Outside the Science Island Research Institute, led by Chen Mo, Wan Yuanxi, Yang Mingzhe and others saw Li Jian and others getting off the bus, and they all greeted them.
"This is Binhai City's Science Island? That's not bad."
Li Jian and others briefly looked at their surroundings and nodded slightly. Now all the infrastructure of Science Island has been completed. Except for the trees that have not grown up, other places are very good. It is better than Science Island in Hui Province, but the climate here is pleasant along the coast.
Chen Mo briefly greeted the team members. They were all doing research, and they were not too polite. After saying hello, Chen Mo led everyone into the research institute.
"Where is the [Star Ring] device? Can you show it to us?"
Ke Jianye was the first to speak. He had always been skeptical about the controlled fusion device that Chen Mo built so quickly. After all, the construction time was too short and Chen Mo designed it alone.
For such a large and complex thing to be designed by one person and then built in such a short period of time, the credibility is not very high.
"This is Professor Ke Jianye, he has a straightforward personality." Wang Nian didn't come over because he had something to do, so Li Jian looked at Chen Mo's introduction and gave him a secret look.
Chen Mo didn't care about Ke Jianye's tone. Many research experts or professors have bad personalities, but they don’t have any bad intentions and just simply question this matter.
This kind of skeptical attitude is not entirely bad. Scientific research often requires questioning. You only need to eliminate their doubts and convince them, and they will change their attitude.
"Inside, follow me."
Chen Mo turned sideways slightly and led everyone into the research institute.
