Throughout the year, the field of controlled nuclear fusion has not been calm.

In the past, the little things of Sesame Point were worthy of a press conference, but the big news that followed this year was to let the iter spokesperson be overwhelmed.

From the earliest plasma turbulence model, to the star device to complete a one-hour magnetic constraint experiment, and then to the US representative at the iter meeting to question China, so that China chose to withdraw from the iter.

Throughout the year, the mood of practitioners in the entire controlled nuclear fusion industry is like the thrill of riding a roller coaster.

Now, the news that Huaguo has withdrawn from the iter project is still hot. A news released by Renren Daily has once again triggered a collective shock in the international plasma physics community and the controlled nuclear fusion industry.

On the first day of October, in the days of the birth of the Republic, China suddenly announced that the star-2 demonstration reactor project will enter the next and final stage.

That is, the construction of the demonstration reactor began at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant.

This news has been released, not only the international plasma physics community and the controlled nuclear fusion industry, but has caused a general sensation of the magnitude 8 earthquake in the world.

Demonstration heap!

No one thought that everything would come so suddenly.

The British Broadcasting Corporation bBC, the first to report on this news.

In an interview with the bbc reporter, Ben Debauer, the chairman of the US Alpha Company, commented on the news.

"...If China becomes the first country to realize the commercialization of fusion technology, its economic, geographical and political advantages will be more obvious, and the presence in the Asia-Pacific region will also expand at a speed we can't imagine."

"This is definitely not an alarmist. This new technology is different from all the inventions we have had in the past. In an easy-to-understand way, it is the holy grail of the energy field, which can illuminate the future we can't see."

"Of course, although the situation is very serious, the competition has just begun, and we have enough confidence to surpass them. Of course, the premise is that the bureaucrats of Congress no longer invest in us..."

In addition to Bendbauer, the BBC reporter also contacted the Dean of the Christian Institute of the University of Oxford, former Director of the Kalem Fusion Center in the United Kingdom, and former Steven Philippe, CEO of the British Agency.

In an interview, Professor Steven gave his opinion on the retreat of the Chinese nation.

“Although iter has been discussing the kicking of China from the iter international project team, no one wants to see them withdraw in this way.”

Reporter: "What is the difference between the two?"

Facing the camera of BBC, Steven Cowley pushed down and said slowly: "This is for sure."

“The number of Chinese employees of iter is the lowest in the early days, but it is now second only to the EU. Not only that, they are the third-ranked member of all member states, and they are always able to meet their financial commitments...”

"Now, the handover of work has not been completed normally. All Chinese employees have been forced to evacuate. Less than one-fifth of them have chosen to stay. Not only that, but many key projects have also fallen into this. Stagnant."

"They chose to quit in this way, no doubt a tribute to the pressure on the United States to put pressure on them on the star device issue. The enthusiasm that prompted them to do so was largely due to the results of the star device. ”

“Everyone has its own controllable fusion project and its own technical reserves. Iter is not the only ongoing controlled fusion project, and the iter agreement has never asked other countries to open research that is not related to the agreed research project.”

"What I have to say is that at this point in time, forcing the Chinese to leave the iter project is a stupid choice. It is also a stupid choice to fight against the future technology."

"If the country is no longer involved, the iter project, which is seriously plagued by overspending, may not be able to continue. We can only hope that the United States will honor its own commitments and that South Korea will be able to bear more funds. From a practical point of view, this is very difficult."

Reporter: "Are you not optimistic about the future of the iter organization?"

Professor Steven: "It should be said that I have never been optimistic. It is a wrong decision to shut down our Oxford County jet installation to support the European iter plan. Where are they going to build a demonstration reactor? In the town of Cadarache near Marseille, I heard that they planned to build the demonstration pile in France, and I knew that most of the things would be messed up in the end. Sure enough, they have not even covered the house until now."

The reporter coughed and asked: "Where do you think it is appropriate?"

Steven did not hesitate to say: "Of course it is the UK."

reporter:"……"

......

Washington, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

A cool-looking president, slammed a newspaper on his desk, and spit the stars snarling.

"I want to know what is going on here! If someone didn't remind me to buy a newspaper on Twitter, I don't even know what happened across the Pacific!"

The newspaper that was dropped on the table is the latest issue of Everyone Daily - Overseas Edition.

The headline of the news is the latest development of the star-2 demonstration reactor project.

The irony is that he first learned the channel of this news, not from his own intelligence network, but from his opponent's newspaper.

The bright red and eye-catching title was particularly dazzling in his eyes.

From the line between the words, he felt the provocation from the opponent.

Standing opposite his desk is CIA Director Gina Haspel and the CIA's Controllable Fusion Intelligence Commissioner Helms.

Gina, holding her arms, coughed softly and said slowly: "...maybe, Mr. Helms can explain."

Hearing the woman’s name, Helms’s shoulders were shaken uncontrollably twice.

Gina Hasper.

If there is anyone in the CIA who is least willing to provoke him, then there is no doubt that this is an old woman in her 60s.

In addition to the prisoner abuse scandal that made her a "bloody Gina" notoriety, he also heard more rumors about the name and the word cruel.

When Trump scored him as the director of the CIA, the domestic public opinion in the United States almost set off an uproar...

Taking a deep breath, Helms quickly spoke up.

"...This is our dereliction of duty. We underestimate the determination of China in the study of controllable fusion. They may go further than we think."

The president took a deep breath.

“If the demonstration pile is built, I want to know how many years they have been away from the technology.”

"I don't know," Helms's face showed a bitter expression. "But at their speed, if you really get this technology, it won't take too long to go from demonstration to commercialization..."

The office was silent.

Seeing that Mr. President and Ms. Director did not speak, Helms took care of the psychological activities of the two men, coughed and whispered.

"I think we have to pay attention to one person."

Hasper looked at him: "One person?"

"Yes," Helms swallowed and said, "I have studied relevant information. Before he returned to China, although China had made some achievements in the study of Tokamak, it was far from us. It’s far from being a threat, and it’s almost blank in the study of imitation stars.”

"However, since he returned to China, this situation has changed in less than a year..."
