High-level meetings have been held for several days, and in the past few days, Lu Zhou has not been idle. With the introduction of Academician Pan, he met many domestic scholars engaged in research on the direction of controlled nuclear fusion.

Strictly speaking, domestic universities do not have the specialty of controlled fusion.

Daniel in this field, most professors of plasma physics, or engineers in nuclear engineering.

The situation in China is different from that in Princeton. The research on stellarators can basically be said to be blank. At the PPPL Institute, Lu Zhou wanted to pull out a research team, which could be easily done.

However, now he can only use Academician Pan's connections in this field to find talents.

Of course, in addition to talent, there is a more critical issue that must be addressed.

Now that the rice is available and the chef has prepared it, the only thing missing is a wok for cooking.

After putting a compiled list into Lu Zhou's hands, Academician Pan said, "You are planning to do research on stellar devices. We don't have enough manpower and funding. First of all, we need to set up a stellar device. This question is more critical than what you said, how do you plan to solve it? "

There are only eight stellar simulators in operation around the world, including H1-Heliac, which was obtained from Sun Hua University in Australia. As for the legendary "first quasi-circular symmetrical star simulator" built by China and Japan in China, the agreement was just signed last year, and it will take several years for the project to land.

China can afford it, and the world can afford it. After all, controllable nuclear fusion itself is a century-old plan.

However, Lu Zhou couldn't wait.

If the successful ignition of the "DEMO" demonstration reactor cannot be achieved by 2025, the task chain of "Fusion Light" will be considered a failure. Although according to the system's consistent Buddhist principles, there is no such thing as to let him spit out the experience he has gained, but the reward for the final completion of the task chain will no doubt say goodbye to him.

After accepting the list from Academician Pan, Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Germany has a shut down star simulator, which is WEGA, which is the prototype of Spiral 7X. We don't need to build one from beginning to end. You can just get a ready-made back and then modify it on its original basis. "

Academician Pan's expression was so moving that he couldn't tell the truth: "Are you planning to buy WEGA back?"

Lu Zhou nodded. "Tuition fees can't be saved if I want to enter this business."

Lu Zhou thought that Academician Pan was distressed for the country. After all, the star-like device was expensive, and even the retired WEGA was not a small sum to buy back.

However, in fact, it wasn't about money at all.

"It's not a matter of tuition, are they willing to sell this thing?"

Lu Zhou shook his head: "It's hard to say, but this matter can be talked about. I have some friendship with the scholars at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Max Planck Society, and there should be no problem in persuading them to sell unused old equipment."

In fact, since 13 years, WEGA has been shut down, and the research focus of the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics has all been placed on the new toy Spiral 7-X. There is hope for persuading them to sell WEGA.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"When things are arranged here, I will fly to Germany personally and try to talk about this."

Hearing this sentence, Pan Changhong looked envious.

This thing about network resources, he did not have much contact with the international academic community, he really envied.

At that time, in order to fill the gap in stellar research in China, Junhua University organized three study tours to the Australian National University in 2017, and finally reached a cooperation. Finally, it spent $ 35 million to buy a Taiwanese "small" come back.

It is also called H1-Heliac.

Compared with Japan and Germany, Australia's research on stellar devices is obviously only in the bottom. H1-Heliac, independently designed and assembled by the Australian National University, is far from advanced.

If there is a choice, who would be willing to choose the H1-Heliac assembled by the Australian National University itself?

If Lu Zhou really has this way, he can buy back WEGA, which has been closed in Germany.

This matter alone can be regarded as a great achievement for China's controllable nuclear fusion business.

...

Lu Zhou's return to China brought two gifts to China.

One is the Nobel Prize, and the other is the pie of controlled nuclear fusion.

Although this big pie is still raw, everyone can only watch it, but can't eat it, but he is confident to be a good cook and cook the big pie.

As for the two great gifts of Lu Zhou, Hua Guo also regarded as a reward, and responded to the greatest degree of attention.

After half a month of discussions and discussions, academicians of the two academies discussed and voted, and the project on stellar research finally officially landed.

After consulting Lu Zhou, the project team was named "STAR", which was parallel to the "EAST" Tokamak Controllable Fusion Reactor Project.

As for funding, the state has also given considerable generosity, with one billion yuan.

Considering that a lot of equipment, including satellite simulators, need to be imported, the unit of this funding is naturally US dollars ...

Southwestern Institute of Physics.

After learning the news, Jia Liang couldn't help but choke his tongue.

"Billions of dollars, that's too little money."

Although the level is parallel to the "EAST" project, as far as funding is concerned, several "EAST" projects have enough budget.

Even if it won a Nobel prize, it would not be worth so much money, right?

Sitting in the middle of the office, Zhou Chengfu, who was reading the newspaper, didn't look up, UU reading www.uukanshu.com said blankly.

"No matter how much money it is, people are fighting for it. We can't control it."

That being said, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all.

The research on controllable fusion is itself a money-burning project, but the state's investment in this area is not unlimited.

Although there was no change in the expression on Academician Zhou's face, Jia Liangcai could still see that the elderly were not very happy.

After all, the original research on controllable fusion in China was all his own.

Now a young man suddenly appeared, and it was impossible to build another hill beside him, and to say that there was no discomfort in his heart.

But this halo of Nobel Prize winners ...

It's really too dazzling.

Guessing the old man's thoughts, Jia Liangcai continued, "You said that Academician Pan, although it is the veteran of our China ITER cooperation group, the credit is not him, let alone he has retired. Now you are our country Leader of a controlled nuclear fusion project. "

"This Luzhou is going to engage in controlled nuclear fusion. Instead of visiting you in Rongcheng, it is holding the banner of Academician Pan to start another stove. Isn't it a bit too inconsiderate?"

"Do your job well, are you worried about these things?"

He whispered a whisper, looking at Jia Liangcai who quickly closed his mouth and didn't speak, Academician Zhou continued to speak unhurriedly.

"He did it, let's do it for us. After all, the stellar is not our specialty. We can cooperate if we can, but we can't cooperate. That's because our conditions are limited. Can he blame us?"

After hearing this sentence, Jia Liangcai smiled immediately.

"Dean Zhou said, I see!"
