Chapter 770

Just when the world was shaking, Kyoto.

The old man was looking at the report in his hand.

"Respected Excellency, as you can see, the competition in the field of controlled nuclear fusion has entered a white-hot stage."

"Qiankun No. 1 verification: Controlled nuclear fusion has leaped from a scientific concept to an engineering reality. When the US and Japan are still wandering in the laboratory, the Xia Nation has already obtained the admission ticket to the controlled nuclear fusion commercialization club and has the opportunity to become the first civilization to light up fusion energy..."

After a while, the old man had finished reading the technical report and the letter, and his gaze looked at An Haofeng. "What do you think about the project of building a demonstration reactor?"

"I agree. The expert group in the ministry has conducted a lot of arguments and unanimously believes that the plan given by Professor Xu has advancement and feasibility."

He was incomparably shocked when he received the news.

When they met last time, Xu Qingzhou said that net energy gain would be achieved within 1 year. He actually still held a skeptical attitude, but who would have thought that a breakthrough would be achieved in less than half a year, and it was a world-renowned breakthrough.

The old man smiled and nodded, picked up the pen, and signed his name on the document.

United States, Department of Energy.

"Oh, damn it, I should be sitting in the office drinking a cup of hot coffee at this time, instead of racking my brains because of these troublesome things and apologizing to our friends everywhere."

Secretary Phil Rams was furious in the conference room. Looking around, his gaze fell on Ma Erke. "Mr. Ma Erke, if I remember correctly, the reports you submitted in the past few times were all telling me that Qiankun No. 1 does not have threat, and I need a reasonable explanation now."

Others were silent as cicadas in winter.

No one expected that the speed of the Xia people would be so fast, directly extending the maintenance time of controlled nuclear fusion to the hour level.

"My team analyzed the data released by the Xia Nation..."

Ma Erke was sweating profusely. "Theoretically speaking, the speed of Qiankun No. 1 should not be so fast..."

"Is this the explanation you give me?"

"I am very sorry, this is my dereliction of duty. They are very likely to have improved the first wall materials and developed a new divertor; otherwise, it is impossible to withstand such high-intensity experiments."

"I called you over, not to hear you say the reason for the failure."

Rams said in a deep voice: "In the past year, the Department of Energy has spent 50 billion US dollars on controlled nuclear fusion experiments, and as far as I know, the total investment of Q1-NTST does not exceed 4 billion. My meaning is, you should find a way now to make our taxpayers believe that this money is worth the price."

Ma Erke bit the bullet and said: "I have organized experts to come over, preparing to re-plan the progress of our device, but... it takes time."

At this time, the assistant beside him reported in a low voice: "Mr. Rams, according to the latest news from the Xia Nation, they have approved the construction of the Qiankun demonstration reactor."

"In addition, the committee hopes you will go over."

Rams's face sank. "Because of your stupidity, I must be prepared to be questioned by the committee."

"Within a week, I need to see a practical and feasible plan on my desk."

Before leaving, his footsteps paused: "Or, you can also put your resignation letters on it. Believe me, before I am fired, you will definitely be unemployed first."

Rams left, and Ma Erke didn't waste time, finding the NIF person in charge.

"Mr. Luo Sen, if our device runs at full capacity, can it reach 60 minutes?"

The old man is the chief scientist of NIF, Grain Luo Sen.

Professor Luo Sen smiled bitterly: "Frankly speaking, let alone 60 minutes, being able to run for 6 minutes is already God's blessing."

With the current state of their device, for 60 minutes, the first wall material would definitely be burned to nothing.

Professor Luo Sen was also very helpless. They had just completed the research on tritium self-sufficiency technology these days, and originally thought they could show off in the world, but as a result...

Ma Erke rubbed his temples with a headache.
