"Oh, nuclear fusion is still fifty years away! Of course, it may also take fifty years forever!" Scientists have claimed that controlled nuclear fusion can only be achieved in fifty years from very early, but today they are in their hands. Fifty years in my mouth! Not shortened at all.

"As for how long I can lead the team to achieve, it depends on how much support the country can provide!" Lu Qiujian continued, "As far as I know, the country from the Sixth Five-Year Plan to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, all The sum of the funds invested in this area is only 2.5 billion! Please forgive me, if this is the case, I am afraid that the edge of controllable nuclear fusion may not be felt in 50 years! "

"Well, our country's investment in basic areas is not comparable to that of Rice!" Although Qin Feng heard this number for the first time, he was not surprised; in the final analysis, despite the economic development of China in recent years It is fast, but the foundation is still very weak compared to the rice country, so the investment in the basic areas where the benefits cannot be seen in a short time is quite limited.

The country can spend a lot of money in the fields of aircraft carriers and aircraft, because these have been proved to be feasible, and the country has these needs in a short time. As for basic projects such as the Jinping underground laboratory, there are precedents in the world. To control nuclear fusion, the entire world is in the groping stage, and no matter how much money you invest, you may not necessarily see results.

"At the current technical level, it takes hundreds of billions to build, maintain and operate a tokamak fusion device. Considering the practice in the field of controllable thermonuclear fusion, this cost may need to be multiplied by five before it can be close to the true cost!" If directly reported If it is 500 billion yuan, I am afraid that no country in the world will approve this fee, so when applying for the fee, it is generally folded in half and then in half, and then the amount of small funds required for the first period is given (of course this small amount is also relative In terms of), after getting the money, make something first, or even just do some paper work and then ask for the second period of funds, so slowly the necessary funds are put together.

But this has a disadvantage, because overspending may occur at any time during this process, which is almost inevitable; after overspending, it will inevitably be attacked. The project may be slashed for this reason; it is for this reason that the United States discontinued.

Then someone has to ask, controlled nuclear fusion is a very great project. Once it succeeds, it will completely solve the energy problem and greatly improve people's living standards. The country should also invest heavily in this!

That's right. But the point of view cannot be too single. Large-scale investment of funds in a single field will cause a series of problems; first of all, you are not sure that the investment will pay off, and huge amounts of money have been invested in human history to try to scientifically The number of breakthroughs, the number of cases that ultimately declared failure, is numerous. For example, Neon ’s fifth-generation computer development plan in the last century has caused hundreds of billions of yen to float. If the country invests 500 billion in controlled nuclear fusion, but ultimately fails, this responsibility may not be borne by anyone.

Secondly, it is not just a project of controllable fusion that is in urgent need of funds. The state has so much science and technology funding every year. What should be done for other projects of controllable fusion? Should we do high-energy physics research? Does aerospace engineering have to be dismounted because of lack of funds? Yuan Lao wants to stop hybrid rice research and go home to support the elderly?

As for reducing expenditures in other fields and investing in science and technology, I'm sorry, people in the west are still eating grass! Although there is a lot of money in the country, no one can cut it!

All in all, it is true that controlled nuclear fusion is important. It is true that the state should invest funds to conduct research, but the amount of funds can only be adjusted according to the current economic situation of the country, and there can never be unlimited support.

"Five hundred billion!" Qin Feng heard this figure for a while, and his scalp tingled. "Our province's GDP last year just exceeded one trillion, ranking fourth in the national GDP of all provinces! A single project will cost our province Half of GDP! "

Moreover, this 500 billion yuan may not be effective. If it is determined that 500 billion yuan can achieve controlled nuclear fusion, then even if the country tightens the belt as it did in the past, no one can guarantee it.

"Oh, this is just my inference based on the current technological level of the country. And it is just the operating expenses of the Tokmark device!" First, let the other party calm down, and then give some hope, "But if it is me, I do n’t intend to use the Tokmark device as a way to achieve controlled nuclear fusion! Relatively speaking, the cost is much lower. "

"Of course. It's too early to say this! After you have verified the data on increasing tritium production, let's discuss the next step!" Lu Qiujian didn't expect him to rely on his own flicker. I got a lot of unrestricted funds myself. Anyway, I still have some time before I graduate, so let's go slowly!

"Well, after I went back, I immediately found someone to verify this matter!" Qin Feng nodded and said that today's meeting would be an unexpected joy for him. At first I just wanted to talk casually with a young talent in the scientific world, but I didn't expect to hear such a surprise news; if he described the prospects, if it could be achieved, then the great rejuvenation of China was close at hand.

"In a few moments, you will send someone to collect the information with me!" I feel that the conversation is almost done ~ www.readwn.com ~ Lv Qiujian stood up and said, "You can rest assured that these studies are conducted by me privately, whether it is Munich Teachers and classmates at the university or colleagues at CERN do not know! "

"Xiao Lu! This research is really important. If you let people know that you have made a breakthrough in this area, I am afraid that there will be problems with personal safety. I don't think you can go back to China!" Qin Feng reminded.

Neither the rice country, which is the world's hegemon, nor the Middle Eastern countries that rely on oil to quickly enter rich countries, will not allow China to master this technology. If they let them know that Lu Qiujian has a fast method of achieving controlled nuclear fusion, then I am afraid Will try to buy or destroy him!

"My doctor can finish reading in more than a year, and now there are still some studies to borrow from CERN equipment, so I can't leave for now!" Lv Qiujian politely declined Qin Feng's suggestion, and has not brushed up enough prestige in Europe. Well, even if I go back at most now, it is to help people fight, which is inconsistent with his goal. "Besides, I am also very careful. Until now, you are the first person to know that I have research in this area!" (Unfinished to be continued.)
