Chapter 734: We Must Add More Fuel to the Fusion Field

There were also scholars at the scene supporting the use of a quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system.

The 11th Academy of Aerospace has already sent personnel over and signed a corresponding technical cooperation agreement, effectively securing official endorsement.

The authenticity of the technology is certainly guaranteed.

As for claims that modifications would consume excessive effort and could not guarantee success—

Anyone conducting experiments dares not claim certainty before seeing results.

Prolonged suffering is worse than brief pain.

Shut down if you must; once the technology is validated, precision detection will leap a full order of magnitude ahead of current conventional systems.

Chen Qiguang was one such person.

Seeing others remain silent, he still said: “Old Zhang, I think we might first send a working group over to make initial contact.”

Previously, he had asked his old friend working at the Beijing Institute of Materials Research.

The result he received was that the performance was indeed excellent.

Given his understanding of Ren Nan, the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system’s effectiveness was likely even higher than reported.

To one side, Shao Yilin’s eyes lit up—perhaps if they visited Beijing, they could still secure an opportunity.

But Zhang Zhi’s next words quashed his excitement.

“Old Chen, you know our top priority is the fusion triple product experiment six months from now—we have neither time nor energy for large-scale monitoring system upgrades.”

From his seat at the head of the table, Zhang Zhi said solemnly.

Chen Qiguang had no rebuttal; according to the plan, their focus was indeed advancing the next fusion triple product experiment.

Someone else spoke up: “We’ve already completed the superconducting magnet upgrade; once installed and calibrated, we can challenge the fusion triple product this May.”

“That’s right—our focus now should be on the experiment four months from now. If we succeed, we’ll be the first tokamak in the nation, even the world, to achieve the fusion triple product!”

“This is a generational leap in technology—missing it would be a tragedy,” added a supporter.

“It is a generational leap, but not necessarily suited to our device. Steady development is better for us.”

Chen Qiguang said no more.

He suddenly felt a pang of helplessness.

He wondered if his original choice had been right.

Zhang Zhi had technical ability, but he was a bit arrogant.

Such a person could accelerate project completion, yet also easily lead to stagnation.

“It’s settled. Of course, we cannot stand still on magnetic field control precision.”

Zhang Zhi’s gaze turned to a middle-aged man beside him: “Old Liu, bring back that upgrade proposal you suggested earlier—hold a meeting to study it and raise the monitoring system’s control precision further.”

“Understood,” the middle-aged man nodded.

After the meeting ended, Zhang Zhi returned to his office, brewed tea, and relaxed.

“That old fool Li Gang has gone to great lengths to court Xu Qingzhou.”

He heard the Plasma Physics Institute had formed another joint experimental team with Xu Qingzhou’s side, preparing to research first-wall materials.

All these flashy distractions—better to focus single-mindedly on construction like we do.

Xu Qing paid no mind to the Southwest Nuclear Physics Academy; these days he primarily worked with Zhao Shengwen’s group on the magnetic confinement and stability of negative-triangle plasmas.

The quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system performed powerfully, enabling real-time feedback and dynamic magnetic field adjustment.

“Whew—spent two more days in the lab.”

At 6 p.m., Xu Qingzhou returned to his office, leaned back in his chair, and exhaled deeply: “I’m going to get scolded by Teacher Song.”

The AI computing center is already in preparation, located northwest of the Beijing Institute of Materials Research, beside the supercomputing center.
