Chapter 71
"There are many problems with Tokmack, but I believe that just as the plasma turbulence phenomenon that was originally thought to be unsolvable is now solved, one day we can also solve problems such as magnetic surface tearing and magnetic islands. Isn't scientific research just a process of breakthrough and continuous progress in one problem after another?"
Academician Wang avoided talking about Tokmak's problem and asked instead: "Even if we focus on the next research on imitation star device, how should we solve the tighter processing accuracy required for imitation star device?"
"I have said just now that engineering problems are essentially materials problems. If the materials are broken, the difficulty of the project will decrease accordingly."
Professor Zhang did not give a direct answer to how to meet the requirements of precision processing required for imitation devices. This kind of industrial problem takes a long time to make progress.
Although China has made amazing technological progress over the years, it is still a long way from those countries in Germany in terms of industrial basic processing and cannot achieve the accuracy required by imitators. This requires time to slowly endure it.
"Since it is a material problem, superconducting materials with better parameters appear, magnetic surface tearing and other problems can be used to force stable with stronger currents and magnetic fields. Why should we give up the Tokmak, which has already occupied the world's leading edge and instead study the imitation device?"
"I didn't say that I turned to star-imagers all, I mean I can't completely give up star-imagers just because Tocmack was leading."
Professor Zhang did not expect to give up Tokmack and switch to all the imitation stars. This was too great and it was impossible to get involved. Instead, he took a step back and said: "Controllable nuclear fusion is related to the national strategy. The act of putting eggs in a basket is undoubtedly wrong. Academician Wang, can you guarantee that Tokmack will definitely be commercialized earlier than imitation stars in the future?"
"With limited funding, the one that has the advantage will always have an advantage over the bulls' side..."
As Professor Zhang and Academician Wang met up in tit-for-tat, the conference room instantly turned into a lively vegetable market.
Tokmak, led by Academician Wang, was crowded with people and made even louder sounds.
Professor Zhang is weak, but Tokmak is indeed not as good as the imitation device after the current plasma turbulence problem has been greatly reduced. Even if everyone is for their own interests, they cannot open their eyes to tell lies in such a conference venue, so they cannot refute the attacks launched by Professor Zhang at all.
Seeing Professor Zhang and Academician Wang and others quarreled for a while and they didn't stop yet, it was not easy to be too tough. The two people sitting next to the meeting host looked at each other and said:
"In this way, all academicians and professors went back to write an analysis report based on the theme of today's meeting and submitted a rough funding requirement. We decided the focus of the future research of the EAST project based on the situation of these reports."
Following these two people, everyone understood that this meeting could only be considered like this for the time being. The direction of the matter can only be determined by the above considerations and the game between the interests.
After glanced at the other party, everyone was like an aunt who had not reached a bargaining agreement in the vegetable market. She picked up her own things and greeted her without turning around and walking out the door.
Professor Zhang walked faster, with only two people following him. As soon as Academician Wang walked out of the door, seven or eight people gathered around him to discuss the issues at the meeting just now.
"Academician Wang, what should I do next?"
One person looked a little worried and said, "As far as I know, the above had already cooperated with the Qing Dynasty to form a project during the Chinese New Year. The theme of this project was to study imitation devices."
For all researchers in the world, the funding is not enough. The EAST project is only so much each year. If the imitator is also added to the research sequence, it means that the interests of those who represent Tokmack's research are damaged.
Although the future of the imitator is suddenly brighter than that of Tokmak after the plasma turbulence problem is solved, this does not mean that Tokmak will be eliminated and cannot be commercialized.
As Academician Wang said at the meeting, plasma turbulence that originally belonged to the blind spot of detection was considered unsolvable but was solved today. Magnetic surface tearing, magnetic island phenomenon and other Tokmak problems are still difficult to solve as the research on magnetic fields and plasma deepens.
People are selfish. If Tokmack is sure that it cannot be commercialized, it would be fine, so I will admit it.
But since the problem is possible and Tocmak is not desperate yet, how could they give up? Is it because the imitation device currently has more advantages than Tocmak?
Joke, before the birth of the first commercially-controlled nuclear fusion device, just as he dared not say that the Tokmack will definitely be commercialized, no one dared to say that the imitation device will definitely be commercialized more than the Tokmack.
"I understand that as long as I am there, no one can move the cake that originally belonged to Tokmak."
Academician Wang nodded silently. In recent years, Tokmak, the Chinese country, was able to develop so rapidly, in addition to the investment of many scientific researchers, it was mainly due to the concentration of resources.
As the head of Tokmak Research in China, he would never allow anyone to try Tokmak's cake.
"Academician Wang, the mathematical model of plasma turbulence appeared, and the above opinions still fully support Tokmak. After all, we have been studying this area for so many years and are in the world's leading position. The Tokmak device is more suitable for our current national conditions."
A professor from Tsinghua University hesitated and said: "Even if the project to study imitation devices was formed during the Chinese New Year, it did not occupy EAST's resources, and used the resources from the military.
The EAST project has changed now, mainly because of the laboratory in Guangdong Province. Their noise has been made too much, and the public opinion direction has made the people above think about whether to launch a star-like device.
After all, as a national strategic project, a private laboratory is ahead, and the people are afraid that this reputation will affect the people's trust in the country, and that this problem will be used by other countries to have a bad impact.
If we can curb the development of the laboratory in Guangdong Province and delay their research progress, and use facts to prove that their research is just a joke, or let them be low-key and calm, and let the public and the public ignore them, then the above will still support Tokmack."
It’s not that the people above are not wise. On the contrary, they will carefully listen to the opinions of professionals in the research industry for every national strategic project.
But after Tokmak's research for so many years, the extreme concentration of resources has not only become the driving force for Tokmak's research over the years, but also makes most of the interests of the entire EAST project and even the entire controlled nuclear fusion circle in China stand on Tokmak's side.
