Global Monopoly of Technology

People in the global aerospace community are waiting for the results in the next 91 hours and 54 minutes. If you calculate the time from the earth's orbit to the moon's orbit, that is, the time it takes for the entire earth-moon transfer orbit, it is 62 hours and 21 minutes.

The industry is also speculating about the purpose of Star Arrow International's moon landing plan, and there are also different opinions in the media.

But just 22 hours after the launch of the "Yuegong 1" spacecraft, that is, the next day, the news of Luo Sheng's sudden appearance in Luzhou City led to various speculations leading to the same answer - controllable nuclear fusion!

Because there is one of the world's most advanced devices for exploring controllable nuclear fusion in Luzhou City, the location of the EAST project.

At this juncture, Luo Sheng suddenly appeared in Luzhou City, combined with the "Yuegong 1" spacecraft that was flying to the moon, it was hard not to let people think about this aspect.

Maybe, Star Arrow International went to the moon for mining. It is not a common mineral resource, but the most ideal resource for controllable nuclear fusion - helium-3 material.

However, this is also a speculation by the outside media, and there is no reliable official news to confirm it, so it is more topical.

As a result, two voices appeared again. One was excitement. Mainly, the domestic melon-eating netizens were very excited when they saw the photos of Luo Sheng appearing in Luzhou City and the relevant media reports. Nuclear fusion has "started", and maybe fifty years of eternity will come to an end.

The other is worry, mainly from foreign media people. It is no exaggeration to say that there are definitely a large number of people in the world who do not want to see Luo Sheng get involved in controllable nuclear fusion technology. This is a horror story for them.

Originally, in the field of controllable nuclear fusion technology, the Chinese, who were latecomers, continued to advance and became one of the few frontrunners in this field.

Now, Luo Sheng is gone. In the eyes of many people, this is equivalent to superimposing a super "buff". After all, he has been winning and creating miracles.

Once the controllable fusion technology achieves a revolutionary breakthrough, it will usher in earth-shaking changes for all mankind, and it will also rewrite the historical process of human civilization and science and technology.

...

This afternoon, Luo Sheng and a team he led came to an experimental hall on Science Island in the western suburbs of Luzhou City. There is a three-story "iron can". It is EAST, the most advanced in the world. One of the devices to explore controllable nuclear fusion, it is precisely because of its success that the Chinese people stand at the forefront of the field of controllable nuclear fusion research.

"Mr Luo,

Look forward to it! "

A man led a number of scientists towards Luo Sheng, and Lin Ya, who was accompanying him, introduced to Luo Sheng, "This is Li Jiangan, academician of the Academy of Engineering, convener of the Huaguo Magnetic Confinement Fusion Special Committee, and a former member of the National Academy of Sciences Plasma He is the director of the Institute of Bulk Physics and the core staff of the CARFT project of the fusion reactor host key system comprehensive research facility.

"It's a pleasure to meet Academician Li." Luo Sheng shook hands with Li Jiangan who came here and smiled.

Li Jiangan smiled enthusiastically: "Mr. Luo's presence in person really makes the Science Island shine."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "I hope I didn't disturb you. I heard that the construction of CATFT has reached a critical moment and encountered financial difficulties. The last EAST project sent someone to find me, hoping that I could participate in it, but I declined. Now, I don’t know if I can make up for the rejection by coming today.”

That was all seven or eight years ago. At that time, Luo Sheng could be said to be spending money at any cost to build the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain. A single project would always have a capital chain scale of tens of billions of dollars, and the other scientific projects he saw were too greedy. .

Among them, the controllable fusion project EAST was included. At that time, people were sent to the door, hoping to get an investment of funds. Several billions or something was like drinking water for Luo Sheng, but he was rejected. Makes the EAST team very depressed.

It also made everyone think that Luo Sheng was not interested in controllable fusion technology, and even some members complained that Luo Sheng was just shortsighted capital.

In fact, Luo Sheng is not short-sighted, nor is he stingy with the money, but he doesn't want to stretch his hand too far and put everything in the bar. At that time, it was not as strong as it is today, and it was also a lot of pressure to face international suppression and containment. , don't want to be extravagant.

Now it is different, the external pressure has been greatly eased.

"Ah... This is an old thing many years ago. I forgot it long ago. Besides, it is reasonable to refuse. After all, we have no certainty about how long it will take for the research of controllable fusion technology to change from scientific research results to productivity. Otherwise, how can there be a saying of 'forever fifty years', Mr. Luo is an entrepreneur, so he should pay attention to the output ratio." Li Jiangan laughed jokingly.

"You forgot, I didn't. In controlled nuclear fusion, the scientific summit of global competition, I also want to do my part to help my country's fusion research institutions catch up with foreigners and light up mankind. The first light of nuclear fusion." Luo Sheng said, and both sides smiled at each other after speaking.

One said he forgot, the other said he didn't. Not all scientists add their talent points to the IQ column.

Li Jiangan and others were already in high spirits, and their hearts were extremely excited. They never thought that Luo Sheng would come over at this juncture, and listening to this tone, it was not a matter of home talk.

"I can't ask for it! I can't ask for it! Haha, Mr. Luo, please, let's talk while walking." Li Jiangan gestured, and the two sides also chatted while walking: "Our main task is to observe and study the plasma in the EAST cavity. In addition to firing, waiting, measuring, and calculating, EAST scientists have to explore unknown theories."

Luo Sheng nodded and said, "I remember that in 2006, EAST achieved its first ignition, stimulating plasma state and nuclear fusion, and soon achieved a maximum continuous operation of 1,000 seconds, which was an unprecedented achievement at the time. "

Li Jiangan also said: "At present, EAST and other experimental devices continue to make breakthroughs in plasma parameters such as temperature, density, and continuous discharge time, becoming the leader of similar devices in the world. In the latest round of physical experiments, they have achieved breakthroughs. A major breakthrough, the steady-state high-confinement mode plasma discharge has been realized for more than ten minutes, and EAST has thus become the world's first tokamak fusion experimental device that can operate in a steady-state high-confinement mode for ten minutes. It's an unprecedented achievement."

Having said that, Li Jiangan is also quite proud. In the research of controllable fusion, the achievements made this time are indeed a big step ahead of the competitors.

The two sides chatted and came to a reception room. After being seated, Luo Sheng entered the topic and said, "Academician Li, should you have heard of Star Arrow International's recent moon landing plan?"

Hearing this, Li Jiangan laughed and said: "It's more than just hearing about it, it's like thunder, this is not only a major event for your Star Arrow International, but also a major event for my country's aerospace industry and even the world's aerospace industry. We are talking about this in private. Still guessing what the first words of our man on the first moon landing would have to say to get Armstrong down."

After speaking, everyone burst into laughter, Luo Sheng said with a smile: "We really didn't make any special arrangements for this matter. For Star Arrow International, the moon landing is an ordinary little thing. ."

Another scientist at the meeting said: "Mr. Luo, if you spread this word, you must not make the world's major space agencies feel ashamed."

After the episode, Luo Sheng said: "To be honest, our trip to the moon this time has a great relationship with your research field. We are going to mine helium-3, which is the key energy required for controllable fusion."

Li Jiangan and the others were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Are you really going to dig for helium-3?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "So, everyone's research progress is very important to me, and it is also the core purpose of coming here."

At the end, Li Jiangan also disappeared and said directly: "Mr. Luo, you are right, the CRAFT project has indeed encountered the problem of the capital chain. The entire project started construction the year before last, and the planned construction period is 5 years and 8 months. The main project and the park project are composed of two parts. The main construction content is the superconducting magnet research system and the divertor research system. The project covers an area of ​​more than 600 acres and has a total budget of about 6 billion yuan."

"With such a tossing of the solar storm, the funds required for the follow-up projects have not kept up. The state should use the money for people's livelihood and economic recovery. This is also understandable. After all, it is difficult for our research field to be transformed into substantive projects in the short term. As a result, the progress of the project has finally fallen behind, and the original plan has been disrupted, not only the CRAFT project, but the EAST project has also been affected to varying degrees.”

The God of Wealth has come to the door in person, so you have to cry poor, if you miss this village, you may not have this store.

Luo Sheng is also not a mother-in-law, so he directly increased his banknote capacity and said: "In this way, I will double a super, I will fund your project with 20 billion RMB in the name of Star Arrow International, and it will continue to double after it burns out, what I said. It is funding, not equity participation in the future core residual value sharing, only a series of rights to know about the project can be obtained.”

Li Jiangan and others were shocked when they heard it. This happiness came so suddenly, they were stunned for a while.

After reacting, Li Jiangan hurriedly said: "No, no, Mr. Luo, we are all dizzy after you smashed such a big cake. You said that we can take it with a few hundred million dollars. The astronomical figure of 20 billion is not enough to double it... We have a psychological burden."

Luo Sheng said calmly: "It's right to have a burden in your heart, but this is not the key to the problem. Star Arrow International will fully support it. We have no other requirements. The only requirement is the same as yours, to achieve controllable nuclear fusion as soon as possible. Of course, we will not ask for a fixed time breakthrough, which is unrealistic, but there must be staged progress, and people must see hope.”

Li Jiangan said hesitantly: "However, this is too bad for you..."

"Loss?" Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing, and said: "As the saying goes, suffering is a blessing, I started with the Internet, and in the context of the Internet, there is such a saying, the wool comes out of the dog, and my interests are in my interest. The appeal is not in the fusion device, and there is no conflict of interest in order to cooperate better. My interests are in the helium-3 resources and the space ladder."

"As long as there is a breakthrough on your side, the helium-3 I dug back from the moon will be invaluable, and the ladder will become the Strait of Hormuz passage of the space board. The profit here is much larger than that of the nuclear fusion device. A proper analogy is like a lithography machine to a chip. The absolute profit of a lithography machine is just that little bit, and a controllable fusion device is also true to helium-3 resources, not to mention a ladder. So feel free to accept That's the money I give your project."
