Two cups of coffee were finally invited by Lu Zhou.

After thanking Lu Zhou, Professor Kreiber, who had left the coffee shop, took the flight back home that day.

Due to physical inconvenience, Lu Zhou did not go to the airport to send him, but instead ordered Wang Peng to send him to the airport.

As for what choices he will make and what choices Europe will make, these things are only known in the future.

On the ninth day of the new year, in the Great Hall of Shanghai, the commendation ceremony of the controllable fusion demonstration reactor was successfully ignited, which was opened by the host's speech and warm applause.

At the commendation meeting, the elders personally awarded 26 golden 585 medals and bright red certificates to the researchers who made outstanding contributions in the demonstration reactor project. Researchers with outstanding contributions on the line have expressed their lofty gratitude.

I still remember that it was the spring of 1958. The second department of the Institute of Atomic Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (now the Institute of Atomic Energy) officially initiated the research on magnetic confinement fusion, which opened the prelude to the research on controlled fusion.

Up to now, the research on controllable fusion has gone through 70 years.

Almost three generations later, this century project was finally completed.

This commendation conference was also a complete period for this vigorous scientific research project.

Looking down at the glittering medal on his chest, Academician Li Jiangang wiped the corners of his eyes and muttered softly with a voice that only he could hear.

"Teacher, we succeeded ..."

He still remembers that it was the 82nd year of the new year. He graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology's ship nuclear power major. His original ideal was to become an aircraft carrier designer. As a result, a word from his tutor completely changed his destiny and made him devote himself to this. In the field of controllable fusion research.

Twenty years later, another twenty years. On this road that seems to be always hopeful but without seeing the head, he regretted it and was confused, but in the end he insisted on it and gave up when the motherland needed him most. After taking the post at the Oxford Culham Lab, he returned to China to carry the banner of controlled fusion research.

Perhaps at this moment, his mentor is no longer visible.

But he believed that if his teacher had spirit in heaven, he would be proud and proud of the choices he has made today ...

Sitting next to him, touching the medal on his chest, Academician Wang Zengguang felt emotions in his heart.

"I didn't expect that I had engaged in nuclear power for half my life. I did not witness the dawn of the fourth generation of nuclear power before I retired, but witnessed the sing of the third generation of nuclear power."

Fission reactors are inherently expensive energy sources, and the on-grid electricity price is not as high as that of thermal power, and let alone nuclear waste that is difficult to process.

After the final commissioning of the Pangu Fusion Reactor is completed and the grid is connected to power supply, it is estimated that there will be no new fission reactor construction plans in the country.

"Speaking of us, it seems that the Chief Designer Lu is not an academician yet?"

Li Jiangang paused for a moment, then laughed: "I was so busy in 19 years, how can he have time to judge any academician."

The academicians of the two academies are co-opted once every two years, and they have to go through two rounds of voting from the faculty to the entire academy. The energy involved is quite amazing.

During the entire 19 years, Lu Zhou has been busy with the controllable fusion project. Naturally, it is impossible to have time to evaluate any academician.

Thinking of this, Academician Wang had an idea in his mind.

"I'm going to vote for him in the next election."

"Academician in his twenties?" Academician Li stunned and hesitated, "Will it be too young ..."

When he had just finished talking, when he saw the old man looking at himself with a bad look, he quickly coughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I just ask this casually. If he comes to the election, I will definitely vote for him ticket."

Academician Wang Zengguang laughed grinningly: "I still have a little conscience for this old thing."

Academician Li was unwilling at once: "When did you say this, when did I have no conscience? But speaking, I voted for him and it was nothing. I happened to be from the Department of Mathematical Physics. You old guy is from the Academy of Engineering, you Get a vote for him? "

Academician Wang froze slightly and frowned, "Why must I report to your Department of Mathematical Physics? Can't I report to the Energy and Mining Department of our Academy of Engineering?"

"You old thing, you can't help making sense," Li Jiangang cried and laughed. "Others are the Fields and Nobel Prize winners. I have to ask him why he should report to your engineering institute!"

"Oh, do you look down on our engineering academy? I do n’t know where this controlled fusion reactor is higher than what the Nobel Prize Fields prize is!"

"It's not a thing! Can you compare like that?"

The argument seems to have developed into strange places.

In order to determine whether Lu Zhou is suitable to be an academician of the Academy of Engineering or an academician of the Academy of Sciences, the two almost did not roll up their sleeves.

On the other side, Zhou Chengfu, who was sitting on the side of the front row of the General Assembly Hall, touched the medal on his chest with a complex expression.

Although he is one of the contributors to controllable fusion research, he sitting here always feels like an outsider. Even from this glory, he not only felt the slightest joy, but even felt a little ironic.

Hanging honors that weren't his own to his chest was almost like baking him on the fire.

Sitting next to him, Academician Pan glanced at him and laughed.

"Alas? The elder helped you put it on, and you plan to take it off?"

Zhou Chengfu didn't speak, his expressionless face couldn't see what he was thinking.

However, Pan Changhong really knew the old friend too well.

With a sigh, Pan Changhong looked at the podium.

"Whether you did it right or not at the time, it's almost fifty years. You've got all the credit and hard work. This honor deserves your share. No one can make the right choice in a lifetime, and you can be regarded as Loyal to his research. "

"And ah, it's not just me who think so, and nominating your professor Lu, I think so too."

The moment I heard this sentence ~ www.readwn.com ~ the expressionless face couldn't hold on anymore ...

In addition to 26 medals in 1985, awards for 120 advanced individuals and five advanced groups, there is also a special medal.

It has a diameter of about 8 cm, is made of 99.9% pure gold, weighs 527 grams, and is equipped with a red and black strap that can be worn on the chest. The medal's main motif is made up of five stars, stars, olive branches and rays of light.

Its name is "Lingyun".

As a plan to die on a drawing, perhaps no one has ever thought about it. The once seemingly crazy idea will one day be reborn in the hands of a new generation of scholars, and one day will give birth to energy comparable to a star.

Lu Zhou could not fully understand the intention of the medal designer and naming person.

After all, he didn't come from that era, and the research on controlled fusion was a little bit of a monk.

However, the index finger rubbed against this medal, and from the delicate texture, he could still feel a little bit, the thick sense of history contained in it ...
