Great Country Academician

Academician Chang Huaxiang came very quickly and joined the company very quickly.

After chatting with Xu Chuan that day, he signed a contract and entered the Xinghai Research Institute in the afternoon, where he served as the technical director of aerospace engineering.

No one was dissatisfied with the old academician's airborne landing.

At least the middle and senior management of the Aerospace Research Institute have heard of this old man's reputation and deeds more or less.

If you are not familiar with this name, then anyone has heard of the Chang'e lunar exploration project series, and this old academician is one of the main designers of the first and second phases of the project.

With this old man's decades of experience and ability, there is absolutely no problem in controlling the aerospace project.

By leaving the work related to aerospace engineering to this old academician, Xu Chuan no longer has to worry about related matters.

After all, aerospace is not his major. Although he has designed an electromagnetic propulsion system such as an aerospace engine, the foundation is actually based on controllable nuclear fusion technology.

As for how to design a space shuttle, how to plan a manned space flight route, and what preparations are needed for landing on the moon, he doesn't know much about these.

It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

As for himself, apart from not being a professional in this field, he also has a lot of other work to be busy with.

A person's energy is limited after all. Even if he is young now, time is the most fair thing. No matter whether he is a prince, general or commoner, everyone only has twenty-four hours a day.

For Xu Chuan, the best choice is to rationally allocate limited time to different tasks and invest limited energy in the fields that best suit him.

Those tasks that can be done by others can be left to professionals.

For example, he has never had much involvement in the management of research institutes, whether it is Xinghai Research Institute or Chuanhai Research Institute.

In the Energy Research Institute, before the assembly of the miniaturized fusion reactor is completed, the Huaxing Fusion Device has always been the most powerful experimental subject.

By adjusting the magnetic field strength of the external field coil and the permanent magnet group, the size of the plasma iris in the reactor chamber is compressed to the volume of the small reactor to simulate the operating conditions of the small reactor.

Although it cannot be exactly the same as a miniaturized fusion reactor, at least a large part of the data can be obtained.

This will be of great help in improving the power and output of miniaturized fusion reactors.

To be honest, the output power of 170MW is not very safe in Xu Chuan’s opinion.

Although the output power of the MW level is enough to bring the propulsion of the electromagnetic propulsion system to the KN level, for aerospace engines and space shuttles, the KN level thrust is not actually high.

If it is used on ordinary civil aviation aircraft to fly in the atmosphere, it is completely sufficient.

But if it is used on a space shuttle and needs to carry large-mass scientific research equipment and other items out of the earth's gravity and into space, it is better to improve it as much as possible.

On the other side, Virginia near the Atlantic coast.

On the Potomac River at the junction of Washington, D.C., and Virginia, the world-famous CIA headquarters sits here.

Hidden under this huge building complex covering an area of ​​more than 200 acres is the world's most advanced intelligence collection organization.

In the office, William Joseph Burns was sitting on an office chair, holding a document in his hand and reading it carefully.

This is information sent from South Korea about that country's Fusion Energy Company.

As the head of the four major intelligence agencies, the CIA handles an astronomical amount of information and intelligence every day.

Of course, all information sent to this office has gone through heavy screening. It can be said that every piece of information may affect the layout and development of the United States.

Fusion Energy Company, which was transformed from the Qixia Fusion Project that completed the controllable nuclear fusion technology, undoubtedly has such strength.

In particular, the power transmission system promoted by the other party to Southeast Asia and East Asia in the past year has a significant impact on their layout in Asia.

Including the power output contract that South Korea signed with the other party only two months ago, it is a serious damage to the deployment of the first island chain.

But in the face of cheaper energy, I am afraid it will be difficult for any country to refuse such a temptation.

Just when I was having a headache about how to deal with these things, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Putting down the documents in his hands, William Joseph Burns looked at the door of the office and said, "Come in."

The door to the office was pushed open, and an intelligence officer about fifty years old walked in quickly, holding a brown paper document bag in his hand.

"Director, the latest information, our informants deployed in China have collected important information. The reason why the opponent's aircraft carrier code-named No. 03 has delayed its launch into the sea may be due to the modification of the power system."

The middle-aged intelligence officer quickly reported and handed over the brown paper document bag in his hand.

Hearing the news, William Joseph Burns frowned. While taking the document bag, he asked: "Transforming the power system? Are they preparing to use nuclear power? Do you have more detailed information?"

The middle-aged intelligence officer hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "From the intelligence information, it may be a fusion reactor."

"Fusion reactor?" William Joseph Burns, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, smiled and said in a teasing tone: "Are they going to move the Dawn to the No. 03 aircraft carrier?"

"That's a big guy. Are they going to open all the compartments?"

China took the lead in realizing controllable nuclear fusion technology, which naturally attracted the attention of various countries.

There is nothing completely confidential under the sun. Although the key technology to achieve controllable nuclear fusion is still unavailable for data intelligence, the general information of the Dawn Fusion device, such as volume, size, operating mode data and other basic data, All countries have basically taken control.

The aircraft carrier is indeed huge, but it is difficult to stuff the Dawn into it, even if it is a smaller fusion reactor.

After all, the structure of an aircraft carrier is not like that of an ordinary cruise ship. Although it is large, the internal space is a bit like a building, divided into layers and rooms by the structure.

If you insist on stuffing a huge fusion reactor inside, it will undoubtedly cause huge damage to the structure and stress of the aircraft carrier, which will instantly reduce the aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness by an order of magnitude or even several orders of magnitude.

Standing opposite, the middle-aged intelligence officer took a deep breath and said suspiciously: "There is intelligence feedback that the Xinghai Research Institute led by Professor Xu is suspected to have made a major breakthrough in miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology!"

"The reason why their No. 03 aircraft carrier has been waiting may be that it is waiting for a small fusion reactor!"

Upon hearing the news, William Joseph Burns's light green pupils shrank instantly, like poisonous snakes. He put his hands on the table and stared at the intelligence officer in front of him and asked quickly: "Is the news reliable? "

"It may not be reliable, but according to the reports from the agents currently deployed in Jinling, the security level of the Xinghai Research Institute has been improved by more than one level. The personnel standing guard all have a military aura. The relevant information is in your hands. Inside the bag.”

Hearing this, William Joseph Burns took a deep breath and quickly took out the intelligence information from the brown paper bag he had just opened.

The report is only a thin page, and there is not much information recorded on it.

". It is suspected that Xinghai Research Institute has made a breakthrough in miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology. The output power is unknown. It is estimated that the size can be reduced to about 6-8 meters in diameter and about 5 meters in height. The technical route is unknown (possibly with Planck plasma It has something to do with the spiral stone-7X of the Institute of Physical Studies)"

Putting down the report in his hand, Director William looked at the intelligence officer standing opposite, frowned and asked: "Is there no more detailed information?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "We can only collect this information for the time being, and the other party has done a good job of keeping it confidential."

Putting down the report in his hand, William Joseph Burns pinched the bridge of his nose and frowned, thinking.

The breakthrough in miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion technology is really surprising news.

For them, this is absolutely the worst information.

A fusion reactor with a diameter of 6-8 meters and a height of about 5 meters can definitely be stuffed into an aircraft carrier.

It is conceivable that the news of an aircraft carrier equipped with a fusion reactor will have a significant impact on the international structure of the entire world.

But is this really possible?

The thoughts in his mind changed, and William Joseph Burns thought of another possibility.

Could it be a smoke bomb or something released by the other party?

After all, it has only been a year since controllable nuclear fusion was realized. It only takes one year to achieve a breakthrough in miniaturization. This news sounds unreliable.

And according to their understanding, Professor Xu basically spent this year studying mathematics and aerospace technology, and did not have much time to study the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion.

However, if he really took action, it was not impossible.

If this information is true, then they really missed the best opportunity.

At the end of July, they should have shot down the plane heading to St. Petersburg!

After thinking for a while, William Joseph Burns came back to his senses, took a deep breath, looked at the intelligence officer standing in front of him, and said:

"No matter what you do, no matter whether this intelligence is true or not, I need more accurate intelligence and information!"

"In addition, increase the monitoring of Jinling and the No. 03 aircraft carrier, increase personnel allocation, increase investment funds, and try to bribe the other party's scientific researchers and relevant insiders as much as possible. No matter what happens over there at Jinling, or Xinghai Research Don’t miss any clues about what the hospital is doing now!”

"yes!"
