You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 386 is numb!

Silence is the main theme at this time~

Speechless is my whole mood at this moment~

Xu Wei has never been so speechless as he is now. It feels like he has been living for more than thirty years and feels "exploded" for the first time in his life. He doesn't know what kind of complicated emotions are going through his heart.

"No, why did he suddenly jump in?"

Xu Wei tried his best to suppress the feeling that was about to "explode" and asked almost gritting his teeth.

He secretly pinched the muscles on his thigh with his hands, and the irritating pain hit him, making him frown.

It hurts, it’s not a dream.

Therefore, what he heard just now was true.

However, he clearly remembered that Kuang Xiantao went to the capital for a meeting and wrote a joint letter with a number of big shots in the circle, asking the higher authorities to firmly support the research on controllable nuclear fusion and not to reduce the power of their EAST team. funds, and more investment is needed. More importantly, yesterday morning, Kuang Xiantao sent him a message, saying that the joint letter was completed, and the higher-ups were most likely persuaded to let him wait for the good news.

What's going on now?

Why did Zhao Mo suddenly come out to be the chief designer? What about them?

Kuang Xiantao glanced at him, threw him a notebook, and sighed: "He used theory to prove that the construction of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor is feasible, and successfully convinced the cabinet. The cabinet has already agreed to let him build a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. He is in charge of the construction team as the chief designer. Our EAST and the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute under the Southwest Nuclear Industry Group, their Gyre 1 and Gyre 2 are all assigned to him. This is what he said at the meeting Most people didn’t understand some of the theories he explained, and I didn’t understand either, so no one could distinguish him. You should also take a look and see if you can figure out anything~”

Xu Wei's whole body went numb: "..."

Good guy, this is really a good guy!

Don't bully young people into being poor, don't bully middle-aged people into being poor, it's the final decision.

Xu Wei was a little stuck for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said immediately: "I don't agree!"

Kuang Xiantao smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "So this time, he will do some experiments with EAST first."

After taking a deep breath, Xu Wei did not look at the notebook that Kuang Xiantao threw over, but asked angrily: "This is unfair! So many of us have worked hard for so many years, but we can't compare to his theory? Just one theory Does the theoretical proof erase our achievements over the years? I think this is irresponsible to science, the country and the nation!"

Sure enough, Xu Wei's anger immediately eased after being questioned and he became "slightly" calmer.

Kuang Xiantao smiled helplessly and reminded: "EAST belongs to the country, not to our team's private property!"

They worked tirelessly here, setting one domestic record after another, and a world record, but the result was good. Zhao Mo went directly to the cabinet and got the job done, and all their efforts were wasted in an instant.

His face was gloomy, his eyes were staring, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. His angry look was very frightening.

However, the two people's research fields are different. He is in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, and Zhao Mo is not there, so there is still a bit of luck in his heart. Can he make a breakthrough in this field and achieve the final victory?

After all, life is very long. Under normal circumstances, a research career of at least fifty or sixty years would leave plenty of time to catch up.

Zhao Mo is a theoretical scientist who has never worked on the front line of controllable nuclear fusion research. He has only developed some high-level theories. The cabinet thinks that Zhao Mo can handle controllable nuclear fusion, so they put Zhao Mo in charge?

"This is obviously different!"

Xu Wei was silent.

If it were an ordinary person, he would really be frightened by his appearance.

Yes, the EAST device belongs to the state, and the entire team was built with huge sums of money from the state. What reason do they have to refuse the state’s arrangements?

"I didn't expect that I would lose so quickly!"

At this time, Kuang Xiantao answered him helplessly: "Do you think I want to? But my arms can't lift my thighs. Before the high-thrust rocket engine, Zhao Mo had never done similar work, and he was just a purely theoretical scientist."

They are both young people. He became famous first, and Zhao Mo became famous later. He originally thought that Zhao Mo was just a young boy who was just starting out and had better luck. Later, as Zhao Mo continued to make achievements, set domestic and even world records, and won the Fields Medal and the title of academician of the two academies, he knew that he had lost. , the gap between Zhao Mo and Zhao Mo is getting bigger and bigger.

How is this still playing?

Does theory prove that the construction of controllable nuclear fusion reactors is feasible? Isn't this nonsense?

Xu Wei felt very bitter in his heart. He remembered his previous rivalry with Zhao Mo.

Xu Wei knew what he meant. It was simply that Zhao Mo had never done any work related to rocket engines. He had also completed a high-thrust rocket engine for the first time, so this time they could not use the phrase "Zhao Mo had never done it". reasons to object to the above. But he thought these were two different things, so he immediately retorted: "The engine has a reference. Whether it is Da Maozi or America, there is a rocket engine with nearly a thousand tons of thrust in front of it, but there is no controllable nuclear fusion. The front is There is no way. More importantly, before he developed a high-thrust rocket engine, didn’t he go to the Sixth Aerospace Academy to study for a period of time?”

Kuang Xiantao was used to it a long time ago, and he also guessed that he would be angry, so at this time he didn't say any nonsense like "Don't yell at me, you have the ability to yell at the superiors and the cabinet", but just kept quiet. looked at him for a while.

It's still too early for them to finalize the coffin~

But now, there is no need to finally seal the coffin. Zhao Mo has surpassed him in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, which he is proud of. As soon as he stepped in, he became the chief designer and brought all the domestic forces working on the tokamak route under his command. Even he No exception, this is a loss!

There is also a situation where he still has a chance, that is, Zhao Mo failed in the research on controllable nuclear fusion.

However, Xu Wei disdained this situation. He believed that even if Zhao Mo failed this time, he still lost.

Zhao Mo was the chief designer from the beginning, but what about him? He has been working in the field of controllable nuclear fusion for ten years. From the beginning of his studies, he is still just a researcher. There are too many differences between the two. "Okay, don't think so much, you still have to cooperate with those who should cooperate~"

Kuang Xiantao stood up and walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "Although he persuaded the cabinet to come to us to do experiments and collect data, no one knows whether it can be done. Anyway, I don't think so." hopefully."

Xu Wei was almost depressed. He wanted to get angry but couldn't, but he couldn't hold it back.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Kuang Xiantao could understand his mood. After all, he was like this yesterday, but he didn't say much. In the end, he just said: "Take the book back and study it. If there are any problems, point them out as soon as possible. We can't let him lead us~"

"I know~"

Xu Wei nodded, picked up the book and left.

The director's last words reminded him that yes, they had to find some trouble and couldn't let Zhao Mo lead them by the nose.

As soon as he left Kuang Xiantao's office and closed the door, Xu Wei opened his notebook and started reading while walking.

"??? Yang-Mills equations? NS equations?"

After a while, Xu Wei stopped walking. All the contents in the notebook were mathematical calculations, and he couldn't understand more than 90% of them!

His face suddenly showed a look of shame and anger, and finally turned into a deep confusion: "No, is the gap between him and me so big? Are the academicians of both academies so awesome?"

……

Also Luzhou, University of Science and Technology of China, Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology.

Cao Weiqiang, who has returned to school, is discussing with Li Jianguo, another nuclear physics professor in the team, about going to Australia to negotiate for the purchase of a stellarator. This is one of the conditions he determined before returning to China.

Australia's stellarator is codenamed H-1 spiral stellarator. It is still under construction and is in a semi-finished state.

The reason why Australia plans to sell this thing to China is that it is too expensive and the project is extremely difficult, making it difficult for them to continue it themselves.

At this stage, let alone them, even Hanscat's Spiral Stone X-7 Stellar Simulator, whose engineering capabilities are much better than theirs, has entered the assembly stage since 2005, and it is now almost 2011. Kankan is only half assembled, and we don’t know when it will be completed. The future is full of confusion, and no one knows what will happen next moment.

In this case, since China wants it, although Australia is reluctant to part with it, it is not impossible to sell it half-heartedly. The price is still being negotiated now.

If Australia wants to sell it at a good price, it must not only recoup its investment costs, but also make a huge profit.

The price is in place, the H-1 spiral stellarator is sold immediately!

"...Now that the joint letter has been written and the meeting has been held, I believe there won't be any trouble~"

When talking about this, the two naturally talked about the meeting in the capital and the joint letter. Seeing Cao Weiqiang's lingering fear, Li Jianguo couldn't help but smile and comfort him.

He is Cao Weiqiang's senior, and he also went to Princeton University to drink foreign ink.

Of course, he is not as outstanding as Cao Weiqiang, so their small team is dominated by Cao Weiqiang. What he has seen most is Cao Weiqiang's confident look. It is the first time that he has seen such a lingering fear.

"Probably so~"

For some reason, Cao Weiqiang still felt a little bad because he kept thinking of Pan Hong and Kuang Xiantao being called back to a meeting later.

However, he quickly shook his head, not thinking about such unhappy things, and started complaining: "The route of controllable nuclear fusion must of course be a stellarator, which is inherently high-density and stable-state to operate without worries. In the past, it was just that the manufacturing cost and installation cost were high and difficult, so there was not much development. But now that science and technology have advanced, AI and artificial intelligence have made great progress, and these engineering difficulties are no longer difficult, and they naturally come to the fore. It’s time for the stellarator to show off its skills..."

In this regard, Li Jianguo agreed very much: "You are right, especially some new methods, such as the new method of generating the poloidal magnetic field of the stellarator through dipole coils, which is fully expected to significantly reduce the construction of the stellarator. Difficulty and cost…”

For a while, the two of them had a heated conversation.

bang bang bang~

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Cao Weiqiang called "Come in," and the president of the University of Science and Technology of China walked in and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Weiqiang, the purchase of the Australian stellarator may have to be suspended first~"

"???"

Cao Weiqiang was stunned on the spot.
