On a major occasion, Wu Tong naturally would not let himself slip. After adjusting the microphone, Wu Tong immediately said in a deep voice: "In the field of controllable nuclear fusion, everyone is my senior. The advantages of controllable nuclear fusion, I am only here." I will simply explain it to everyone and give you some ideas." This is her respect for the fusion people who work tirelessly and work tirelessly for the advancement of the domestic fusion industry.

Wu Tong has always treated pioneers in the industry with respect and respect. Many of her progress and research and development are based on the foundation laid by her predecessors.

"Einstein's mass-energy equation E=mc2 tells us that even with a little mass, as long as a nuclear-level reaction is triggered, huge energy can be released instantly. Because even though the mass is only one gram, multiplied by the square of the speed of light, the energy It is very huge. This is the principle why the sun can burn steadily for billions of years, and it is also the reason why most stars in the vast universe emit light and heat.

Nuclear fusion is inherently safe, that is, it is always safe.

According to the principle of nuclear fusion, the first step is to heat the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium to hundreds of millions of degrees. This is very difficult to maintain, but it is easy to stop. Its products are only helium and neutrons - helium is inherently clean, and neutrons can be absorbed by using water, and their energy will turn water into steam, which can be used to generate electricity.

Therefore, nuclear fusion facilities do not release carbon dioxide and have no long-lived radioactive elements. They can even be built in urban centers and are clean and cost-effective energy sources.

As fusion people, the most important factor for everyone to plant the sun must be that another advantage of nuclear fusion is unlimited resources.

One liter of seawater can extract 0.03 grams of deuterium, which releases more energy than the energy produced by burning 340 liters of gasoline. There are 40 tons of deuterium in seawater around the world - which can be used by humans for 100 billion years, longer than the lifespan of the sun and the earth.

Moreover, nuclear fusion power stations have very low resource consumption and high power density. A fusion power station only needs 150 kilograms of heavy water and 150 kilograms of lithium a year, while a 100 million kilowatt coal power station burns 200 million tons of coal a year, and a fission power station requires 30 tons of uranium a year.

Clean, cheap, pollution-free, abundant and endless energy is our long-cherished wish. Humanity has gone through a journey of more than half a century in the research of controlled nuclear fusion of hydrogen. In the plan to realize controllable nuclear fusion, magnetic Constraints are considered the most suitable approach to solving energy problems.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology is not only the cradle of advanced human technology, but more importantly, it can truly reflect the shared destiny of mankind. It is also a technical difficulty that we must break through! "

"Currently, our research in China is mainly focused on magnetic constraint, inertial constraint, and tokamak. This Golden Crow project is not going to follow the conventional route. Of course, the stellarator device should be familiar to all seniors!"

"Ling Yun?" "Germany's WEGA? Spiral Stone

As leaders in the fusion field, they are well versed in information about the fusion field at home and abroad. When Wu Tong mentioned the stellarator device, they immediately reacted. This was the same reaction as everyone in the audience who had gained a keen sense of information and a solid foundation after a slow pause.

However, instead of using the tokamak to fully mature its experience, he went to explore the relatively unpopular stellarator device. This is a common problem among young scholars when they are doing projects. Is it just a matter of time before they come up with something? Does the country also want to use this huge project to play with a child? Has the superiors forgotten about Ling Yun's failure back then?

There was an impatient person who couldn't help but blurted out, but was stopped by his relatively sensible and sensitive companions. But at this moment, everyone in the room was silent, and almost questioning eyes were focused on Wu Tong again. If we can't give them enough reasons to stand on and convince them, I'm afraid the project will end here. They will never accompany young people to fool around and make fun of their lifelong pursuit!

"I know that for everyone, the tokamak device has been the mainstream of research for a long time. Everyone has doubts about me. This is the most normal thing. But as fusion people, the superiority of the stellarator device, everyone The seniors should all know this! Or let me ask you rudely, is it possible for you to successfully proceed with the tokamak device and demonstrate the perfection of ignition?"

After this question was raised, the scene became even quieter. In fact, professional people understand professional things better. Although there is no lack of praise for ITRE at home and abroad, there is also no lack of domestic media cheering for every achievement of EAST. The flowers are blooming, and it seems that the real control of controllable nuclear fusion is just around the corner...
However, academicians and scholars who are actually working in this field are relatively cautious.

Because many things may seem exciting to laymen, but to experts, they cannot even be considered staged results. They have not even heard of anyone lamenting that the Tokamak device, which has been measuring units in seconds for many years, may be an impassable road.

"Mr. Wu is more optimistic about the stellarator device?" After a long silence, Academician He from the Southwest Research Institute spoke first. He was vaguely reminded by the teacher that the person in charge of this fusion project might exceed his expectations. However, the teacher pointed out that he , you must believe that the superiors will not joke about such serious matters, and when necessary, be sure to support the decisions made by the superiors.

Only now did he truly understand what the teacher's instructions were. Firstly, the person in charge of the project was beyond ordinary people's expectations. Secondly, the choice of projects supported by the superiors was once again beyond their expectations. They actually want to abandon the tokamak device that they have worked on for many years and replace it with a stellarator device!

This also means that the higher-ups have given up their previous investment in scientific research at Novo University, regardless of the sunk cost! To be able to support it at all costs, does it mean that the higher authorities are more optimistic about the stellarator device? Or are you more optimistic about Wu Tong who made such a proposal? So, to be able to get such full support from above, the weight that Mr. Wu represents may be heavier than he imagined!
Therefore, when Academician He asked this question, he already used the honorific title. Put Wu Tong on the same level as them. Although Wu Tong is young, he is indeed on an equal footing with them. As a newly elected academician of the Academy of Sciences this year, to put it bluntly, Wu Tong's weight in the mathematics community is more important than them all.

It was not just Academician He who thought of this. He had a keen sense of smell and quick reaction. At this moment, they all had similar thoughts in their hearts. The eyes of several familiar masters met each other, and then focused their searching eyes again. On Wu Tong.
