The top student must be diligent

As for Zong Chengping's words, they all believed it.

Of course, the most important thing is that they really don't think China can achieve nuclear fusion.

Previously, they had only speculated that there were some breakthroughs. After all, the public results of UOmini were there, and no one would believe that there were no breakthroughs.

Now, it is better to appease China first. Even if they don't admit it now, some information will be exposed sooner or later after the big project is completed. It's just a matter of waiting for another year.

In the end, the Korean director agreed not to randomly propose to kick out members in the future, and the Japanese director apologized and said that he would no longer speculate without substantial evidence in the future.

Although the US representative seemed a little dissatisfied with such a result, he couldn't find any rebuttal to what Zong Chengping said.

You can't just move a project and say there are some huge results. This is a bit of nonsense.

So, this discussion on China ended here.

After that, the meeting entered the normal stage and no longer discussed the current situation of China's nuclear fusion development.

The other meetings that followed did not discuss this topic.

The situation on the ITER side was temporarily relieved.

However, as the Japanese reactor project became more and more popular, the attention of intelligence organizations in various countries became closer. At this time, whether at the ITER meeting or at the United Nations, people often asked China related questions.

They wanted to know more and more urgently, what exactly was being built in this place with such a big fuss?

Is it really just a comprehensive research institute, not a nuclear fusion reactor that can directly power the entire city after it is built?

For a time, all kinds of questions were thrown to China, and various foreign media began to use their imaginations, and all kinds of outrageous headlines appeared on various news headlines.

"China discovered a UFO, and sent Xiao Yi to study it and sorted out the controllable nuclear fusion technology! 》

"China's super genius Xiao Yi worked hard on nuclear fusion, and a huge project gradually rose. Could it be that he has seen through the mystery of nuclear fusion and will build the first commercial fusion reactor for mankind? 》

《Xiao Yi, the Chinese genius known as the contemporary Einstein, has not published any results for a long time, or has made a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion! 》

《If China builds the first controlled nuclear fusion reactor, what kind of harm will it bring to the world? Or will the Iron Curtain and the Bamboo Curtain come together》

……

All kinds of news began to spread, and there was also some exaggeration of the Chinese threat theory.

However, these news did not affect the country at all. Some related news and comments were "imported" to the country by netizens who surfed the science website, and then other netizens on related video websites laughed and said:

[Yes, we are about to achieve nuclear fusion! ]

[Yes, Xiao Shen went to study UFOs]

[If we don't achieve nuclear fusion, they will just eat a ton, okay? ]

[I am laughing to death, how come we don't know that we are going to achieve nuclear fusion? ]

Of course, some netizens said: [Shh, maybe we are really going to achieve nuclear fusion? 】

【 @Xiao Yi, Xiao Shen, foreigners have said so, you should give them a lesson】

...

Of course, no matter how noisy it is outside, it has not brought much impact to China.

After all, it has come to this era, and there is basically only one country that dares to confront China. Other countries can only do something secretly at most. As for really looking for trouble with China, it is really a bit too bold.

Especially now, with the successful emergence of lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries, it has begun to show its terrifying dominance in the battery market.

With the emergence of related electronic products, electric vehicles and other products equipped with lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries, and the terrible endurance, consumers naturally gave up those products that still carry lithium-ion batteries and chose these more powerful products instead.

Almost beyond everyone's imagination, the market share of lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries has directly reached 40%, directly occupying nearly half of the lithium battery market.

I believe that as time goes by, its market share will inevitably move to a higher level.

Of course, this also brings about that the share of major battery companies in China has once again broken a new high, and the total share has already reached 80%.

This also means that China has the ability to implement a monopoly on batteries, and batteries are a very important material. Once China imposes sanctions in this regard, not many countries can withstand it.

For example, after a certain jump in the Philippines, it was sanctioned on batteries, causing its domestic battery prices to rise sharply. After suffering for several months, it finally gave in.

Although it is not known how long they can remember this lesson, it still shows China's dominance in the battery market.

In this way, more than half a year has passed.

...

Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

The current Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is no longer as simple as it was a year ago. It has truly become a research institute with accommodation, a canteen, and various supporting facilities.

The most important thing is that there is a huge white building in the middle. Although it has not been fully built, if you go inside and take a look, you will find out how complicated the interior of this white building is.

And this place will become the core of the Sun-making reactor.

"The overall project has been completed."

Standing on a commanding height, Xiao Yi and several other high-level members of the Sun-making plan looked at the scenery in front of them, and Zhao Zhanyou sighed.

"Yes." Li Jiangan also nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, the construction of the reactor will be officially carried out."

"At that time, it will probably be really difficult to hide it."

Starting tomorrow, various parts of the reactor will be transported from various places. Some of the devices used for power generation will definitely not be completely concealed. Sooner or later, people abroad will find out that they are really building a super-large nuclear fusion reactor, and they are also going to generate electricity.

By that time, even if they say it is purely for experiments, I am afraid they will not be believed.

If it is really just for experiments, how can so many power generation devices be transported here?

However, Xiao Yi just smiled: "If we can't hide it, then we can't hide it. Anyway, they never dare to guess our real purpose. It's like boiling a frog in warm water. The frog will always think: Are we really boiling it?"

"Haha, that makes sense." Li Jiangan and the others all laughed.

Indeed, during this period of time, whenever someone asked them about this, they would directly ask back: "Do you really think we can achieve controlled nuclear fusion?"

Then others basically stopped asking.

Because apart from them, no one really thinks that controlled nuclear fusion is so close.

The way of war is in it.

"Okay, you can notify those factories to start transporting the major parts."

"Let's see the time. It will be assembled by the end of the year."

Xiao Yi said.

"Okay!"

Everyone else nodded.

And then, as several calls were made from here, starting from the next day, the parts transported from all directions entered the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

The main project of the Zao Ri reactor was officially started!

Chapter 248 This is what a chief designer is!

The next day, the site of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute became busy again.

It is said that construction has begun, but in fact it is just installation. The white building that has not yet been built is actually the supporting structure of the entire reactor, which plays the role of supporting various components. Therefore, its interior looks a bit complicated, and it is also the most troublesome building in the entire construction process.

The ability to build it is also inseparable from the design plan given by Xiao Yi.

The engineers of Huajian First Bureau, who undertook the white building project at that time, were amazed that if it were not for Xiao Yi's construction plan, they would not know how to build this semi-finished building.

So much so that he wanted to take this plan to Huajian Group as a learning material.

In the end, because this plan involved the key secrets of nuclear fusion technology, it was rejected.

Of course, even if others knew about it, it wouldn't be a big problem, because first of all, without the corresponding parts, even if this thing is built, it can only become a landmark, which can be seen but not used. Even if there are parts, it is also a big problem to put the parts in order. This is like assembling a large machine, and it is a machine used for controlled nuclear fusion.

Generally speaking, the main body of the building and the device are built and installed in parallel. The supporting frame of the building is built, and then some parts of the device are installed. This is like the process of building blocks, step by step, which is relatively intuitive.

But now, in order to keep it confidential, Zao Ri Dui did not take this approach. Instead, it only has a "shell" like now, and you can't see the inside. Naturally, others can't see what this thing is going to build in the end.

It was not until the various parts were finally transported that others were able to gradually perceive the real purpose through these parts.

However, the problem is that without Xiao Yi, the designer, it would be impossible to install all the parts in order and ensure that there would not be a lot of screws left after installation.

Of course, at the beginning of the project, Xiao Yi had already prepared for the subsequent installation. The parts would be numbered in sequence, and various numbers were given on the engineering drawings. When installing, they could be installed in this order.

It also made it convenient for the workers to a certain extent.

However, during the installation process, accidents are inevitable, such as losing the numbers.

…

"Chief Engineer Xiao, something happened on the scene."

In the office, Zhao Zhanyou ran over and said to Xiao Yi.

"Huh? What's the situation?" Xiao Yi raised his head and asked.

"The part numbers of several cooling pipes over there are missing, and now I don't know which part of the cooling pipes are installed."

Zhao Zhanyou said with some sweat.

Such things are very troublesome in nuclear fusion projects.

For magnetic confinement nuclear fusion reactors, there are quite a lot of cooling pipes. Whether it is superconducting magnets, vacuum chambers, blankets and other components, a large number of cooling pipes are needed as an important way to dissipate heat. However, these pipes may be similar in appearance, but may differ in size, material, insulation method, etc., suitable for different coolant media and temperature zones.

If they are installed in different positions, resulting in the heat dissipation effect not being able to reach the ideal state during actual use, it is absolutely possible to cause catastrophic problems, and at the very least, it is possible to shut down the device.
