Great Country Academician

With the news that Chuanhai Institute of Materials announced that it will no longer provide high-temperature superconducting materials to ITER and related member states, heated discussions have once again been sparked in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

Many scholars and researchers have said that Professor Xu is really just.

On the front foot, CERN canceled the order for high-temperature superconducting materials because of ITER, and on the back foot, Professor Xu directly canceled the supply of materials to ITER and ITER member states.

It's like "If you don't want it, then I won't provide it."

This is probably the first person who has banned the sale of several big countries with his own power.

The United States may not care much about this news, but for Europe, which wants to achieve energy independence, this news means that a fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond.

After all, the importance of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials in controllable nuclear fusion technology has been verified by Spiralite 7X.

Even if there is no perfect plasma turbulence control scheme, the excellent superconductivity of this superconducting material alone can provide a strong confinement magnetic field to suppress the violent plasma in the reactor chamber.

From the current point of view, this is currently the most suitable superconducting material for controllable nuclear fusion.

Without it, even if it can be replaced by other high-temperature superconducting materials, it may be difficult to catch up with Hua Guo.

On the other side, Jinling.

In the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base, Xu Chuan came to the institute with his research results on the magnetic surface tearing, twisting, and plasma magnetic islands that occurred in the deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation experiment.

Nearly a month has passed since the dawn fusion device completed the second experimental run.

20 years, and the end of the year has come.

But the good news is that with the overtime efforts of engineers and researchers, the Xiaoxiao fusion device, which suffered small-scale damage during the second deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation, has been repaired.

As the new year approaches, Xu Chuan plans to do several more high-density plasma operation experiments and one deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation experiment. After collecting more data, he will come back for the annual vacation.

As for himself, he probably won't go back to celebrate the New Year this year.

It is most important to take advantage of this time to improve the work related to magnetic surface tearing.

After all, there are still problems such as neutron irradiation waiting for him.

After they withdrew from ITER, a targeted competition in the field of controllable nuclear fusion began.

This time, they will independently compete with the entire Western countries to see who can develop controllable nuclear fusion first.

This is an important competition related to the national destiny and the new world pattern.

All he can do is to seize the time and move forward.

At the same time, Luyang, Science Island.

The EAST controllable nuclear fusion engineering base, which was usually relatively cool and quiet, will be quite lively.

On the gazebo on the island in the center of Science Lake, two researchers who retreated from ITER were chatting boredly.

"Old Zhou, do you have any new work arrangements in your office?"

In the gazebo, a researcher wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black down jacket glanced at his colleague sitting beside him and asked.

On the opposite side, the dull-looking researcher named Lao Zhou shook his head and said, "I haven't received the notification yet, how about you?"

Hearing this, Wu Pingle sighed and shook his head.

Last month, Huaguo voluntarily withdrew from ITER, which meant that not only the withdrawal of investment in ITER, but also the withdrawal of researchers who originally worked on ITER.

In short, the EAST project, HL-2A project, and HT-7 project, the researchers and engineers who were originally arranged by major domestic research institutes to study and work in ITER have all returned to their original units.

But here lies the problem.

In Huaguo, a country with a large population and a large number of talents, once a person is transferred out, in order to fill the vacancy, new people will inevitably be transferred.

And if the personnel who were originally transferred return to the old unit, there will be a rather embarrassing situation.

That is, there is only one position, but there are two people.

However, Huaguo withdrew from ITER, and many researchers and engineers from major domestic research institutes were repatriated at once, and many people needed to reschedule their jobs.

So much so that they are currently idle in the research institute or at home, and they have been idle for almost a month.

Although the salary research institute is still sending out, for a researcher, this is not a good thing.

On the one hand, the brain will be useless if it is idle for a long time; on the other hand, if the institute does not need so many people, these researchers may be fired.

If you are a researcher or engineer in other fields, it may be a little easier to find a job.

But for scholars like them who are engaged in controllable nuclear fusion, it is really too difficult to find a suitable job in China.

After all, there are only a few companies doing this thing.

With so many people returning from ITER all of a sudden, these well-known research institutes are thankful not to mention recruiting, but not dismissing them.

As for private research institutes, there are still several privately funded controllable fusion laboratories in the United States, but in China, there is a woolly private research institute in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

These domestic capitalists are too lazy to invest money in this bottomless black hole.

With this time and energy, wouldn’t it be more profitable to organize a group to buy vegetables and search for common people’s oil and water?

Just as Wu Pingle stared at the lake in a daze, thinking about what to do next, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

He took out his mobile phone and took a look. The caller was an unfamiliar number starting with 010. After hesitating for a while, he still connected the call.

Before he could speak, a steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Excuse me, is this researcher Wu Pingle from the EAST Research Institute?"

Wu Pingle nodded, and asked suspiciously: "I am, may I ask who you are?"

"It's like this. Through the recommendation and investigation of your supervisor, Professor Weng Yongchang, we have a job suitable for you. Are you willing to leave the EAST Institute and join a new job?"

Hearing this, Wu Pingle looked confused: "New job? What kind of job?"

"I'm sorry, but until you accept this invitation, the position-related information cannot be disclosed."

Hearing this, Wu Pingle couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "My mentor will go too?"

"That question is beyond the scope of the answer."

The corner of Wu Pingle's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath and said, "Even if it was recommended by my mentor, I should be able to know some information about the position, right?"

"For example, where to work, which unit, what to study, what is the salary and so on. It is difficult for me to choose a position like yours that I don't know anything about."

On the other side, the man on the other end of the phone replied: "The only thing I can disclose here is that the work address is in Jiangsu Province. The other information is currently kept secret, and the job salary will be interviewed after you accept the invitation. Would you like to leave? East Research Institute, join a new job?"

After a pause, he added on the other side: "You have an hour to think about it, and I will call again in an hour."

After finishing speaking, the phone was hung up, leaving a dazed Wu Pingle staring at the phone blankly.

What the hell is going on?

"What's wrong?" In the gazebo, Zhou Xu, a colleague, turned his head and asked.

Wu Pingle came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it has something to do with my mentor."

He didn't say anything about work. Although the phone call just now was brief, he was vaguely aware of something in his heart.

Work in Suzhou?

Will it be related to that person?

After all, both his and his mentor's careers are related to controllable nuclear fusion, and Su Province seems to be the only one working on controllable nuclear fusion, right?

Just as he was thinking, the phone of his colleague Zhou Xu vibrated.

After waiting for a few minutes, the two looked at each other after the call was over. After a few seconds of silence, the two said in unison:

"go?"

After a pause, the two said in unison:

"go!"

Although they didn't hear the content of the other party's phone call, both of them understood something in their hearts at this moment.

This kind of opportunity is only once in a lifetime. If you miss it, you will never have it again.

Instead of staying in the declining EAST, it is better to fight again!

After all, those who engage in scientific research still have dreams in their hearts.

If they hadn't dreamed, they wouldn't have stepped into this field with almost no end in sight.

An hour is not too long. When the other party called again, the two quickly gave an accurate reply.

At the same time, after receiving the answer, the other end of the phone said: "Okay, the invitation has been confirmed. I will arrange the high-speed rail ticket for your trip tomorrow, please be prepared. The relevant text message will be sent to your On your mobile phone, please pay attention to the itinerary and don’t miss the ride.”

After speaking, the phone hung up.

Looking at the mobile phone with a black screen, Wu Pingle glanced at his colleagues across the gazebo.

Sure enough, before waiting for a while, my colleague Zhou Xu also received a call.

After hanging up, the two looked at each other again, with a strange expression on their faces.

Those who called them today, it seems that the background may not be simple.

Fortunately, they passed the review and got this opportunity.

PS: I have been accompanying my dad for a checkup at Xiangya Hospital for the past two days. I am really sorry for the update. There should be double updates tomorrow and the weekend, but next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I need to accompany me to the hospital for a follow-up visit (I am a rural person, my dad is not very good) Can only speak Mandarin, so I can only deal with it with my company), when this matter is finished, I will definitely give you an update, sorry, dear readers.

After finishing it, I will create a group, and welcome everyone to come to the group to urge updates (I can send Xiangya’s checklist to the group for verification by the bosses, it is true that there is something that can’t be updated, it’s not about eight-tailed dragging or something .)
