Chapter 117 Lu Yi's Ambition
"The question mentioned whether the Chinese side has committed destructive behaviors to the MaxPu Laboratory demonstration reactor in order to ensure the interests of controlled nuclear fusion.
What I want to say is that China has unconditional support for all research and scientists that promote the process of human civilization. In the past, our Tomorrow Laboratory has carried out many in-depth research cooperation with MaxPu Laboratory.
This is a great project that requires cooperation from multiple parties and efforts by countries to overcome and improve. No one will even want to interfere with and destroy.
In addition, in response to the incident where China exploded a hydrogen bomb over the high seas of the Pacific yesterday, I solemnly announced that this was an emergency incident caused by a mechanical failure, and it was not the so-called nuclear deterrence, nuclear war, etc. that everyone speculated.
I hope that when major media report related issues, please be sure to ensure the fairness and objectivity of the matter to avoid unnecessary panic among the people. At the same time, we have contacted the international environmental protection organization to deal with and follow up on the environmental problems caused by the air explosion of hydrogen bombs... "
The next morning, Li Yashan pulled Professor Lin to go shopping. Zhang Qing was busy with things. Lu Yi helped solve several problems encountered in the construction of the demonstration reactor. He took the laptop link to supercomputer. While watching the latest speech of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China this morning, he was improving the magnetic fluid power generation plan for the demonstration reactor.
The steps on the open side of all countries have been found.
At 23:47 in Beijing last night, at 16:34 local time in the Western Europe Map Demonstration Reservoir, a major safety accident occurred in the core area of the Map Demonstration Reservoir. The core under construction exploded, causing 13 people to be injured, and one of them was seriously injured.
This explosion can be said to have completely destroyed the demonstration reactor plan of Map Lab.
The busy media, the guidance of public opinion, various solutions are immature, and there are serious safety hazards to label them, which means that Map Laboratory has no room for a turnaround in this controllable nuclear fusion.
When the above told Lu Yi this news in the early morning, he also solicited his opinions on another matter, that is, the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor that is being built now will be changed when it is made public, and it will be dominated by China and jointly conquered by various countries.
Of course, the chief engineer is still Chief Engineer Lu.
At that time, Lu Yi was silent for two seconds and agreed.
This is like a show, played by several major countries and a group of younger countries in the world, and is a show for the vast majority of ignorant people.
In this show, China got the high-precision industrial mother beds that it wanted most, the formula of various important materials, as well as several other technologies, making up for the two most serious backwards in a century.
The United States and the United States have obtained controllable nuclear fusion technology, and can also explain to the people with confidence that controlled nuclear fusion is jointly conquered by us and China. They will even change the statement when reporting on this matter. It is led by our great free country and assisted by China and other countries.
Because of this, the people will be happier when they hear this. Is it our dominant or the awesome? We are the world's largest country, and the president's approval rating can increase by several percentage points.
Everyone was happy, there was no war confrontation, no conflict, previous military exercises, tariff trade restrictions, and hydrogen bombs exploded. These were all conventional military exercises, normal market behavior, accidental mechanical failure, and the world was beautiful.
The only one who sacrificed the bad luck was Map Laboratory. Even the consortium behind Map Laboratory would not suffer any sacrifices. Lu Yi believes that they would definitely have other good compensation in secret.
But it is necessary for Max and Pluto to be unlucky, otherwise Western countries will not have any steps and will not be able to explain to the public why they are about to build a demonstration pile, and they still have to cooperate with China instead of doing it themselves.
When Map was in trouble, it was easy to talk about this problem in the face of Western countries. It was not that they wanted to cooperate with China, but that there was something wrong with our demonstration repository plan. Didn’t you see that the explosion had already happened?
As for the people, they are blindly following the crowd. Just coax them and guide them.
As for some people question why the core without electricity or energy source will explode during construction?
Sorry, you can't post such comments, and there are also a few such people.
When most people believe in the facts reported by the media, and when the people around you have no doubts about this fact, your suspicion will soon be left behind and you will no longer remember it.
After reading the speech of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lu Yi thought about it and took out his cell phone and called Professor Maprupert.
Although calculated based on the time difference, it should be around 2 a.m. in Germany now, Lu Yi believes that this old guy must have not slept yet.
"Congratulations, Professor Lu, you have become one of the greatest scientists in human history."
Sure enough, the phone was answered within a few seconds. Before Lu Yi could speak, Professor Rupert on the other side of the phone spoke first, his voice was full of calm but a little lonely.
"Everyone is a scientist, there is no saying whether it is great or not."
Hearing this voice that was obviously aging than when I called this old guy last time, Lu Yi smiled and said, "Professor Rupert, I don't know if I have any interest in coming to China. I believe that science has no borders. Scientists like you, retire so early is a great loss for mankind."
Lu Yi's sudden invitation made Rupert silent. After a while, he said: "Professor Lu Yi, science has no borders, but scientists have their own countries."
"But your country has abandoned you as a bargaining chip and a abandoned child, right?"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "This is not the first time. This time it is even more serious than the last time I abandoned it when I bought a WEGA imitation device from you.
In front of you, they bombed your decades of research and decades of hard work with a bomb, and then reported in the media that this was a major safety hazard in your research…”
"Fuck! Lu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Every time Lu Yi said, Rupert's breathing became heavier, until he couldn't help but roared and interrupted Lu Yi's words.
"I invite you to ask for China, I am different from those capital consortiums.
Strictly speaking, I am a rich scientist. I will empathize with scientists’ needs in funding and other aspects and will not throw away any scientific researcher as a abandoned child for the sake of interests."
Lu Yi continued to talk about his purpose and persuaded Rupert to come to China.
"Tomorrow's group is on the verge of bankruptcy. Where do you get the funds? The Chinese government is really the government, so why not stay in Germany."
Rupert did not believe Lu Yi's words. It was because Tomorrow Group used capital to force the acquisition of six important suppliers of the Map Demonstration Roller that led to the failure of the Map Demonstration Roller. Of course, Tomorrow Group can also be said to be buried with each other. Western countries have almost publicly excluded the market entry of Tomorrow Group.
"Tomorrow Group entered the business negotiations for this incident and became one of the main responsible parties." Lu Yi was not easy to explain his trump card, so he had to take out the reason for this business negotiation that he had already refused.
"This is impossible! How can such negotiations make private capital one of the main responsible parties, even if you are..."
Rupert subconsciously retorted, but he couldn't continue halfway.
Only then did he realize that the efforts of Tomorrow Group alone were not qualified, and Lu Yi's identity as chief engineer was not suitable. However, when these two identities were combined, it would be more than enough to participate in the negotiations as one of the main responsible parties in China.
"You probably have a deeper research on stellar imitators than me now. What else can I do in the past?"
Rupert was silent for a while, and his voice asked in a bleak voice. He didn't deny it, and he was moved.
As a scientific researcher who studies imitation stellar devices, imitation stellar devices are like a precious baby. In recent decades, he has felt the importance of funding to research than any scientific researcher.
When funds are short, Map Laboratory is even so embarrassed that it has to determine and discuss even if it starts an experiment, and solve all theoretical data-level problems as much as possible before starting the experiment, because this can maximize the effectiveness of the research.
The most important thing is that the last time the WEGA star imitation device was sold, it made him feel that scientific research was powerless due to capital control.
Even though we know that selling WEGA stellar device can greatly improve competitors' technology, under a series of capital games, the consortium behind it still forces them to sell it, otherwise it will interrupt fund investment.
Not to mention that in this incident, a bomb and a public opinion direction destroyed decades of hard work, and hundreds of other researchers also destroyed decades of hard work.
Such a situation makes people despair. He has already felt tired after such a research career.
Although he is less than 50 years old and even though he still has a circle of hair on his head that has not fallen out, he still feels tired.
"I will let go of the research on controlled nuclear fusion. If you come to my nuclear fusion laboratory, I will give it to you, but if I come, I will find someone else."
Lu Yi said calmly: "The miniaturization and mobility of nuclear fusion reactors are best able to be loaded on vehicles or ships to operate stably.
There are also further DT fusion, helium 3 fusion, monodeuterium fusion, and even hydrogen fusion, which are all research directions.
It can be foreseen that in the next few hundred years, controlled nuclear fusion will be the main energy core of mankind, so its application is not only limited to power generation, nor can it be limited to power generation."
“Can’t it be limited to power generation?”
Rupert was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think of something the next moment, and asked in a shocking question: "Do you want to study high-thrust ion engines? To develop into the space field?"
It cannot be limited to power generation, so what other applications can controllable nuclear fusion have? Apart from being the core of energy, Ruperts can only think of ion engines after thinking about it.
If this is the case, then Lu Yi’s mind will be very clear, that is, to develop into the space field.
As for the inside of the planet, the car engines on the ground and the jet engines on the sky are already advanced enough. It is a waste of time to study the ion engines on the planet.
Moreover, compared with conventional rocket engines, ion engines are more suitable for the space field.
"Ion engines, life maintenance systems, gravitational waves, and even curvature engines that are still fantasized are all future research directions."
Lu Yi smiled and said with great ambitions and enthusiasm: "I want to see if I can go to Jupiter's Great Red Spot in my lifetime and flutter with the wind, can I see Saturn's rings up close, can I chase Halley's whereabouts, and explore the mystery of the Alter Cloud."
"You're so crazy!"
Rupert was shocked by Lu Yi's passionate words, and after a long time he put on a sentence.
If it were someone else, he might think that this was just a simple fool, but this person, even if he was foolish, he would find a way to achieve it.
This is just like last year when he was stupidly investing a lot of money to study plasma turbulence. Everyone was waiting to see jokes. When buying acceleration components from some accelerator mechanisms, everyone laughed even more. I'm afraid this is a fool, but in the end he really developed it, which gave controllable nuclear fusion a foundation for realization.
"Rupert, I'm different from you. You're almost bald and you're 50 years old. I'm only 22 years old this year. When I reach your age, maybe humans will all come out of the solar system."
Lu Yi laughed and said, "How is it? Are you interested in coming to China now?"
"Can you have a way? You should know that it's okay for people like us to occasionally go abroad for meetings or take a leave, but it's difficult to change nationality and conduct research for other countries."
Rupert was told, but he wasn't sure if he could leave.
"This is simple. If it is a little troublesome in a week, it doesn't matter now. As long as you agree to my arrangements."
Lu Yi nodded. He knew that this matter was a bit sensitive, but it was not too troublesome.
After all, in the eyes of Western countries, controlled nuclear fusion has been taken precedence by China. The value and importance of Rupert, whose research overlaps most of the time, have decreased a lot. While everyone is still at the negotiating table, they can probably treat Rupert as a big deal.
After hanging up Rupert's phone, Lu Yi called the above and briefly explained the matter, but the result was self-evident.
Chapter completed!
