this day,

Professor Russell brought his team to the Gyre 2 experimental base. Although they came with the intention of visiting and learning, this group of people could never let go of the inexplicable sense of superiority engraved in their brains.

Although this time they are seeking help from scientists from China, the discrimination in their hearts has not been eliminated. They still have a trace of discrimination from the bottom of their hearts towards China and even towards the scientists on this land.

"This is our latest tokamak device, Circulation 2." Academician Zhong said confidently with a smile: "The technical parameters and performance of this tokamak will far exceed those of previous tokamak devices designed by humans. Among them,

This includes the ion temperature of more than 100 million degrees Celsius in controlled nuclear fusion."

Professor Russell looked at the device under construction in front of him. Although he did not speak, his expression said everything. This device is no different than the one in France. It is worth mentioning that magnetic confinement nuclear fusion is a key research direction in countries around the world.

It is also the most reliable and technically mature one currently.

Magnetic confinement is also divided into several research directions such as tokamak, stellarator, magnetic mirror, reverse field, spherical ring, etc. Many have chosen tokamak, including the international cooperation project Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in France.

and China.

but

At present, the progress of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project is slow and it has lagged far behind China. Although China is also a member of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project, due to the technological blockade of the West, China was forced to start anew and build a thermonuclear reactor of its own.

Experimental reactor.

It is this thermonuclear experimental reactor that has become the only device in the world that can provide experimental data for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project. On Gyro-1, China solved several important problems and used a non-circular type for the first time.

The purpose of the vertical section is to increase the volume of the reaction body and improve the magnetic field efficiency without increasing the diameter of the ring.

For the first time, all liquid helium loss-free superconducting systems were used, and it also became the world's first tokamak with an active cooling structure. Its progress far exceeded that of any country in the world, but its size was too small, and it was only an international thermal tokamak.

Just one quarter of a nuclear experimental reactor.

"bell?"

"Can you take us to see the neutron diagnostic device?" Professor Russell asked with curiosity: "We want to see the neutron diagnostic device. I wonder if you can agree to my request?"

"Can!"

"You are a guest from afar." Academician Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "You came here with me. How is the progress of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor? Has the neutron scattering in thermonuclear fusion been solved?

question?"

Hearing Academician Zhong's words, Professor Russell was stunned for a moment, his embarrassment rose infinitely, and he said in a squeaky voice: "Without us, we are here mainly to discuss the authorization of neutron diagnostic equipment. I should have talked with you before

You said it."

"Um!"

"By the way, haven't you tried to solve this problem?" Academician Zhong asked curiously: "Even the European Nuclear Energy Agency does not have the ability to solve it?"

""

"They have this capability, but they have been working on other projects recently." Professor Russell hurriedly explained: "There is no extra experience to help us solve the neutron scattering problem in thermonuclear fusion. Now that you have solved it, then we will

It’s not solved anymore.”

"oh!"

"So that's it." Academician Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "I know about the authorized neutron diagnostic device. We can sit down and talk slowly. Let me take you to see this device first."

Immediately afterwards,

A group of people came to another laboratory. This laboratory was very large, but there was a cubic meter of equipment in the middle. Various wires were exposed. At first glance, it looked very rough and did not have a high-tech feel.

"This is the neutron diagnostic device." Academician Zhong said: "It is still in the assembly work. It is only 50% completed. It will take about one month of construction. Of course, we will also build a control laboratory in the future.

Analyze and determine the neutron flux value during thermonuclear fusion."

At this time,

Professor Russell and his team stood far away, looking at the unfinished shabby device in front of them. If Academician Zhong hadn't reminded them, they would never have imagined that this shabby device in front of them could be solved.

The problem of neutron scattering in thermonuclear fusion was solved.

"Just such a device?" Professor Russell frowned. He felt that it was a bit unreliable. How could such an inconspicuous gadget solve the neutron scattering problem that has troubled the world? Is it because this came from

In the hands of Xu Mang?

"Yes!" Academician Zhong nodded and said seriously: "It's just such a broken piece of equipment. In fact, Russell, don't doubt that any inconspicuous thing may be of great use, and the equipment developed by Professor Xu Mang is very good.

, are all ugly in appearance, but very powerful in practicality.”

for a time,

Russell fell into silence. At this moment, he had accepted the facts before him and did not want to struggle too much.

"bell?"

"Now let's talk about the issue of authorization." Russell said: "Can you arrange a conference room so that we can sit down and talk."

"good!"

"I'll make a call." Academician Zhong nodded, walked aside, took out his cell phone, and said to Liang Feng: "The other side is going to talk to us. You go and prepare the conference room. By the way, what did Professor Xu Mang say?

Is the clock coming?"

"It will be there soon. I just made a call to inquire about the situation, and now I have got off the plane." Liang Feng said seriously: "Old Zhong, I don't think we should start discussions with Russell and the others for the time being. We should wait.

Professor Xu Mang, come."

"Don't panic."

"I have my own sense of proportion!"

Key Institute of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology,

In a conference room,

The personnel from both sides are ready. Regarding the issue of authorizing the neutron diagnostic device, the two sides will have intense discussions. However, relatively speaking, the Chinese side is relatively calm, while the personnel on Russell's side all seem to be very serious.

"Ahem!"

"We can almost start!" Academician Zhong coughed lightly and said to Professor Russell in front of him: "According to the agreement of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Program, China is obliged to provide relevant data and information on thermonuclear fusion experiments in exchange.

The recipient needs to provide additional technical support."

"right!"

"The agreement for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Program is written like this." Professor Russell said: "We want to listen to your Chinese side's requirements. Only based on your requirements can we proceed with the next conversation."

Academician Zhong said unhurriedly: "Russell, I think you may have mistaken your position. It's not what we ask for, but what you can provide. After all, you are the one who proposed the idea of ​​authorizing the neutron diagnostic device.

"

Russell suddenly fell into an embarrassing dilemma. Suddenly the opponent brought the ball back, which made him very uncomfortable. In the past, he always stood on the stronger side when negotiating with the Chinese side, but now he has become the weak side. This kind of

The strong contrast made Russell unable to adapt.

"us"

"We can provide you with many internship opportunities and give up some of the power in the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor program." Russell said: "The conditions should not be bad, right? Relatively speaking, our European technology is more advanced than yours.

a lot of."

"Many of you netizens on the Internet have admitted this." Russell said seriously: "By the way, didn't you tell me before that there is a problem with this distribution system? We are willing to give up 5% to you."

Academician Zhong nodded. He understood the latter issue about the distribution of power very well. After all, he had raised it before, but what did the previous one mean? Especially as many netizens on the Internet admitted this statement, Academician Zhong could not understand.

"Ahem!"

"Russell, we have known each other for several years." Academician Zhong said seriously: "Do you think these conditions can conquer us? Don't forget that our Gyre 2 experimental data is your most important reference in the future.

"

""

Russell said helplessly: "My conditions can only be this, why don't you tell me your requirements first?"

"this"

"We want large superconducting magnet technology, medium-energy high-current accelerator technology and high-power millimeter wave technology." Academician Zhong said seriously: "At the same time, we also need the world's largest laser ignition device design data."

"???"

"???"

"???"

After hearing Academician Zhong's request, Professor Russell and his delegation members became a little uneasy. This request sounded simply unreasonable. Why do they require so many technologies? Moreover, these technologies are from all fields in the world today.

Some of the top technologies.

"bell!"

"You are a bit fanciful!" Russell said seriously: "Impossible! At most, we can only provide one item, such as medium-energy and high-current accelerator technology. If you want to exchange a neutron diagnostic device for so many technologies, it is not possible.

exist."

Academician Zhong also knows that this is impossible. The reason why he mentioned so much is to leave a larger buffer space. In fact, the worst plan is to exchange one for one, but try his best to exchange one for two.

"Ahem"

"Russell."

"Actually, Gyroflow-2 has already used all the above-mentioned technologies. It's just that in terms of indicators, it's a little behind you, but that doesn't mean we won't be able to do it anymore." Academician Zhong said, "In this case, I decided to take a step back without authorization.

What do you think of large superconducting magnet technology and medium-energy high-current accelerator technology?"

"No!"

"You can only choose one of these two technologies, and we will no longer provide you with internship opportunities, and we will no longer give up the 5% of power." Russell said.

The conditions announced by Russell brought the atmosphere at the scene to a freezing point in an instant. The two sides were competing with each other, and no one was willing to give in. It was obvious that Russell's conditions just now had touched Academician Zhong's bottom line.

After a few minutes,

The two parties really didn't speak, quietly waiting for the other party to speak and make concessions.

At this time,

There was a knock on the door in the silent conference room.

Bang bang bang!
Chapter completed!
