Great Country Academician

In the morning, near ten o'clock, when the ITER meeting was about to start, a little snowflakes floated outside the ITER headquarters building.

Soon, the scattered snowflakes turned into heavy snow.

For France, especially the southern region, affected by the Mediterranean climate, although winter is cold, snow is not very common, and sometimes there is no snow all year round.

It has been several years since there was such a scene of goose feathers and heavy snow falling like today.

The heavy snow is flying, which seems to be a sign of something.

Coming to ITER's headquarters again, Chen Mingji silently looked out the glass window.

Today, the result will probably come out.

The higher-ups have no hope for ITER. It is estimated that he will leave at the end of the day.

Seventeen years have passed since 2003, and the hard work of more than ten years has disappeared like this. Chen Mingji doesn't know what kind of mood and feelings he is in.

But Xu Molong, who was sitting next to him, didn't think about it that much. He glanced at his watch, and it was nine fifty minutes before the meeting started.

Compared with them coming over in a hurry, the directors of other member states have already arrived.

If it was the past, they must have been the first to arrive. As for now, they don't care at all.

Looking at the ITER director of the United States who was looking at him, Xu Molong looked at each other indifferently, and then moved his eyes lightly.

Five minutes passed quickly.

At ten o'clock sharp, Professor Bernard Bigo, Director-General of ITER's Council, presided over the meeting.

The first thing to do is the construction schedule and related reports of the ITER demonstration reactor, but this is just the opening dish of the meeting, and it will be completed soon.

Immediately afterwards, there will be a discussion on the ITER contract technology sharing agreement.

When the director-general, Professor Bernard Bigo, announced the start of the agenda, the representatives of the American board of directors couldn't wait to stand up.

"Regarding the technology sharing agreement in the ITER agreement, we once again reiterated the investigation of the principle of controllable nuclear fusion technology sharing."

"This is an investigation report. Since Huafang joined ITER in 2003, it has received as many as 73 technologies related to controllable nuclear fusion from ITER."

"However, while using the ITER agreement technology sharing agreement to receive technology, the Chinese side failed to fulfill its own obligations."

"If during this investigation and trial, the Chinese side continues to refuse to fulfill its own obligations, we will jointly vote with the Cherry Blossom Country and the Koryo Country on the application to the council to discuss whether the status of the Chinese side as a member of ITER is qualified. .”

After the voice fell, commotion broke out in the conference room.

Although those who are sitting here today have received the news in advance, they know that Miguo may be impatient, and they don't want to continue to procrastinate.

However, the operation of showing the cards directly from the beginning still surprised most people.

According to common sense, shouldn't we communicate for a while before going through the process?

It seems that the United States is really in a hurry this time.

Do you want to kick the opponent out, and then concentrate on building an ITER demonstration pile?

After all, if you want to catch up with or even surpass Huaguo in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, it is the fastest to directly build a demonstration reactor.

That Professor Xu pointed out a way for them. Under the combination of plasma turbulent numerical control model + high-performance superconducting materials, it seems feasible to re-use the tokamak device to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

If we really want to gather the capabilities of other ITER member states, I believe that the progress should be much faster than that of Huaguo.

Just, can it really be done?

In the conference room, the representative of German Council looked at the expressionless Hua Guo representative, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

If inviting Huaguo out of ITER can make them lag behind ITER in the research of controllable fusion, I believe other member states are happy to see this situation.

But from the current point of view, the two core superconducting materials and numerical control models of controllable nuclear fusion technology are in the hands of Professor Xu.

After inviting Huaguo out of ITER, they will basically have no chance to obtain these two technologies.

At least in terms of controllable nuclear fusion, no country would be so stupid as to give up its large advantage.

Step by step, step by step.

Now Huaguo has achieved two hours of high-density plasma operation, and has even begun to try fusion ignition of deuterium-tritium raw materials.

However, the ITER experimental reactor has not yet been established, and most of the controllable nuclear fusion projects of various countries are also doing experiments in seconds.

From this point of view alone, Huaguo is far ahead of the whole world.

How easy is it to rely on clearing the other party from ITER to slow down their research progress?

What's more, the person in charge of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project is that Professor Xu.

Ever since he first emerged in the mathematics world, he has been creating various legends.

Perhaps it is really not a good choice to invite Hua Guo out of ITER.

It's just this kind of thing, the opinion of a small person like him is useless.

Listening to the discussion in his ears, and seeing the changing expressions on the faces of the representatives of the member states, Xu Mo met the somewhat aggressive gaze of the representative of the United States.

From the eyes of the other party, he can see the three-point complacency, three-point conceit, and three-point confidence in controlling the overall situation.

Glancing at the other party indifferently, Xu Molu stood up, looked around, and said slowly: "There is an old saying in our country, if you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse."

"As for your accusation, as early as the first meeting two months ago, we have already given a complete and detailed explanation. In order to abide by the rules of the ITER agreement technology sharing agreement, we have disclosed the relevant information Progress and necessary data."

"However, in the absence of evidence and violation of principles, you still arrogantly and unreasonably accused us of not complying with the technology sharing agreement of the ITER agreement contract, and persisted for as long as two months in the follow-up, trying to give us Put pressure on us to hand over technology that has nothing to do with the technology sharing agreement of the ITER agreement.”

"Judging from your two-month-long performance, ITER does not have a basis for fair cooperation, and it can even become an excuse for you to suppress other member states for no reason. And we, for this lack of fairness Cooperative and unreasonable international organizations have always maintained a vigilant view."

"therefore!"

Xu Mo took a deep breath, stared coldly at the representative of the board of directors of the United States, and continued calmly and forcefully:

"Here, on behalf of the diplomats, I announce that from now on, we will officially withdraw from the ITER organization!"

As the words fell, the entire conference room was as silent as a dead sea, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

Xu Mo negative didn't pay attention to these stunned representatives and directors, he smiled lightly, and said: "That's all, everyone, goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, he tidied up the contracts and documents on the table, then turned and left.

On the side, Chen Mingji looked at the representatives from various countries whose faces were filled with various expressions such as astonishment and astonishment, sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and left with the others.

On the other side, at the top of the desk, Professor Bernard Bigo, the director-general of the ITER board, looked at the Hua Guo representative who got up and left with a look of astonishment and bewilderment.

They voluntarily left from ITER?

Why?

This is only the first confrontation. Although the United States intends to clear them out, the voting has not yet started, and the final result has not been determined.

At least Europe will not necessarily side with those Americans in this vote.

Compared with clearing Huaguo from the ITER organization, Europe hopes to use the relationship of ITER to trade the two technologies of CNC models and superconducting materials from that Huaguo and that Professor Xu.

But now, hope is dashed.

On the other side, on the opposite side of the desk, the representative of the board of directors of the United States looked at the back of the representative of the country of Hua who left gracefully, with the same astonishment on his face.

For some reason, when he saw the figure leaving gracefully and the empty door, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

It seems, they made a wrong decision?

With the departure of Xu Mocheng, Chen Mingji and others, the deadly meeting room gradually became noisy.

Looking at the messy conference room, the director-general, Professor Bernard Bigo, sighed again.

Huaguo voluntarily withdraws from ITER, which is really not good news for ITER, an international organization.

Even, ITER might fall apart because of this.

But for him, the work that should be done still has to continue.

I only hope that the Americans can fulfill their promise this time, and after Huaguo withdrew from ITER, they will take the initiative to take up the vacancies left by Huaguo in funding and scientific research personnel.

Otherwise, he could see the collapse of ITER tomorrow.

After letting the conference room be chaotic for a while, the director-general, Professor Bernard Bigo, reorganized the language and said, "Let's start the next agenda."

Anyway, today's meeting must be over.

Moreover, taking advantage of the opportunity of Hua Guo's departure now, ITER has to get funds and resources from the promised United States, and the time cannot be delayed, otherwise God knows whether the United States will go back on its word in the next second.

It's not the first time those American guys have messed up a good international organization.

With the end of this rare snowstorm in ten years, news related to the last meeting of ITER has also spread.

Following the reports of the news media and the newsletter broadcast by the domestic news, this news quickly set off a big wave on the domestic Internet, and even rushed to the top of the hot search.

Although the ranking is not high, it has also aroused discussions among many people who eat melons.

[Domineering, it's the first time I've seen us speak so forcefully! 】

[What's the use of domineering? Haven't you been forced to withdraw from ITER? Domineering can't solve the problem. Without ITER, I really don't know how far our controllable nuclear fusion can go. All in all, I'm pessimistic. 】

[? ? ? ? What you said upstairs is really a shepherd dog. Your impression of the development of controllable nuclear fusion in China is still in the last century, right? The dawn led by Chuan Shen has achieved more than two hours of operation, and the ITER pile has not yet been built. Whoever leaves will have no way out! 】

[ITER is still very strong. Don’t look at Lixiao’s two-hour performance, but Spiral Stone 7X has also achieved one-hour operation, and other countries will soon catch up. But now, we have been kicked out, and it is estimated that we will fall behind other countries soon, ε=(ο｀*))) Alas. 】

[I heard that the United States targeted us so much because that Professor Xu did not abide by the rules of ITER's contract technology sharing agreement. According to the agreement, Professor Xu should disclose the research progress and related details to ITER, but that Professor Xu did not, which caused us to be kicked away. 】

[So it's Professor Xu's fault? 】

【Well, because he developed the superconducting material, he doesn't want to hand it over. I heard that CERN signed an order with him. The upgrade of LHC needs billions of superconducting materials. With so much profit, I definitely don't want to pay it. 】

【Hiss~】

[What the hell are you talking about? First of all, it is the domestic EAST that is linked to ITER. The dawn led by Chuan Shen has nothing to do with ITER, and there is no obligation or responsibility to disclose it to ITER! Secondly, with so many countries participating in ITER, which country has disclosed all its technologies to ITER? Can ride a horse with a brain? 】

[Leaving aside whether there are any problems in other countries, can you guarantee that Daybreak is not linked to ITER at all? Do you dare to say that ITER's technology is useless at dawn? If you dare, why not let the United States investigate directly? Why quit the group? 】

【.】

At the same time, the news that Hua Guo voluntarily withdrew from the ITER organization was also spread in the field of nuclear fusion, which aroused discussions among many scholars in the field of nuclear energy around the world.

Compared with the views of those netizens who eat melons with little knowledge, most scholars in the field of nuclear energy have a deeper understanding of this matter.

It seems that Hua Guo voluntarily withdraws from ITER, but in fact it is still the United States who is messing around in the middle.

Compared with some netizens' concerns about Huaguo's development in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, most scholars have the opposite opinion, and they hold a pessimistic attitude towards ITER.

Many scholars in the field of nuclear fusion believe that ITER may stop its progress with the withdrawal of Huaguo, and it is not impossible for it to be disbanded directly in the near future.

Not only because Huaguo is currently at the forefront of the world in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, but also because Huaguo has always played a very important supporting role in ITER.

Compared with the United States, Huaguo has undertaken its part of the scientific research funds in a timely manner every year, not to mention that it also spares no effort in supporting ITER in terms of scientific research personnel and scientific research technology.

It is undeniable that in this regard, Huaguo has the intention of using ITER to cultivate its own talents, but all countries participating in ITER do it this way.

Moreover, compared with scholars from other member states, scholars from Huaguo are more assiduous and serious in research, and work harder, which can also promote the development of ITER.

Therefore, for ITER, Huaguo is undoubtedly an important pillar.

Now that this pillar is gone, no one knows how long the ITER, a pieced together ship, can sail.
