The restaurant near the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, sitting at the table waiting for the dishes, looking at the words on the screen of the mobile phone, Lu Zhou's expression is somewhat unnatural.

【Shock! Professor Lu, the chief designer of the controllable fusion project, is in charge of the moon. ! 】

[Lu Zhou: Our journey is the sea of ​​stars! 】

[His three words, accidentally leaking secrets! 】

[The chief designer of Lu said that the ultimate goal of the moon landing plan is for it? ! 】

Lu Zhou: "???"

Didn't you say that it was not the chief designer?

Do these reporters do not listen to people?

After paying attention to the stiff expression on Lu Zhou’s face, Xu Yuanming smiled and coughed and said: “Our journalists are more optimistic and have a good opinion.”

Can you be awkward with positive energy?

Putting down the mobile phone and looking at the yellow bean broiled hooves on the table, Lu Zhou sighed and said: "You really got a big problem for me."

"Don't talk, let's eat fast, this elbow is cold and it's not good." Pretending not to hear, Xu Yuanming opened the chopsticks and said with a smile, "This shop is doing this dish." Yes, I used to come to school when I used to go to school. I didn’t expect that after so many years, this taste has not changed."

Lu Zhou: "..."

This topic has been transferred too hard.

However, looking at the meal he had requested for this meal, he decided not to care about these details...

After dinner, Lu Zhou and Xu Yuanming went to the individual, and then they sat on the car waiting at the door.

"Send me to the station."

While driving the car on the road, Wang Peng asked the sentence: "Why did you return to Jinling?"

Lu Zhou: "Well, I have been away from the lab for too long, I am not at ease."

Wang Peng said with a smile: "Are you not on vacation? Why are you still so busy?"

Lu Zhou smiled and did not speak.

Of course, he wouldn’t say that he’s not worried about what he’s not doing, but that an artificial mental retardation is playing with his new toy in his lab.

Of course, even if there is no such thing as Xiao Ai, he should probably go back.

There are still a lot of secrets on the No. 3 wreckage waiting for him to discover.

If it is not good, it may become the key to solving the problem of landing on the moon...

When I arrived at the station, I went straight to the nearest high-speed train from Shangjing to Jinling. After a few hours' drive, Lu Zhou finally got off at Jinling South Station.

After changing the black red flag, Lu Zhou did not let Wang Peng send himself home directly, but sent himself to the Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies.

Because many experiments need to be kept, the institute is not closed at night.

After Wang Peng himself went back first, Lu Zhou walked into the main building of the institute alone, passed the alloy door at the end of the underground two-tier sample library corridor, and went to the laboratory on the third floor.

However, when he walked into the lab and looked at the situation inside, the whole person was stunned.

Holding the grass?

Bumblebee?

......

With the resumption of the Chinese manned moon landing plan, the landing of the three policies, the sensation is not only the domestic media, but also caused a lot of attention in the world.

In particular, the British "Daily Mail", one of the originators of the title party and the most intriguing thing, reported the news in a rather inductive headline.

"Huaguo Dengyue Plan! The prelude to the new space race? 》

At the same time, three Alpha companies.

At the top of the president's office, Bendebauer, sitting in the office chair, looked at the newspaper in his hand and his brow wrinkled slightly.

After a while, he said.

"This is not good news."

"They are still far from the second generation of controllable fusion, and you don't have to worry about it at all."

Speaking about Professor Burton Richter, a particle physics expert at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., in addition to his role as a professor, he is also a member of the advisory board of the Alpha Energy Company and the 76th Nobel Prize in Physics. .

Although he is not informed by the Daily Mail, he still knows about this matter.

Just a few hours ago, China announced specific measures to implement the manned mission to the moon, and it was rare to announce a high-profile announcement to establish a permanent scientific research station on the surface of the moon to explore the third-day reserves in the lunar soil.

It is widely speculated that this is paving the way for the second generation of controllable fusion, but Professor Rickett who really understands how difficult it is to achieve the triad fusion is very clear that these speculations are nothing but bragging.

"No, what worries me is not the second generation of controllable fusion." Put down the newspaper in his hand, Bendbauer leaned back in the office chair, and the index finger pressed his eyebrows. "It’s the budget committee of Congress..."

After the Huaguo star-2 demonstration reactor announced the successful ignition at the beginning of the year, the United States also quickly launched its own national controllable fusion project, which was built between Los Angeles and San Francisco to build a giant demonstration reactor, and for the first phase of the project. The allocation has reached tens of billions of dollars.

In this demonstration reactor project, San Alpha successfully defeated the competitor General Atomic Energy Company and obtained orders for heating parts by virtue of the excellent heating performance of the frc field reverse configuration.

If nothing else, the order would bring hundreds of millions of dollars to his company, and he would bring him more than $100 million in growth on the Nasdaq.

However, at this time, Huaguo suddenly announced a high-profile announcement of the moon landing plan, and even announced the strategic layout of the exploration of the resources in the moon, which will undoubtedly have an impact on the demonstration project in California.

After all, research funding is not unlimited. No country can start two super projects while maintaining a smooth financial operation.

However, whether it is controlled fusion or the moon, the United States is not willing to give up.

It is foreseeable that once the United States is drawn into this space race, Congress will almost certainly re-examine existing research projects and budgets, and cut down some less urgent projects to ensure nasa's appetite. Can also be satisfied.

For example, relatively less critical plasma heating components...

Perhaps it will be postponed until the demonstration reactor body is completed and re-tendering is also possible.

This is obviously not a pleasant thing for Benderbauer, and it is almost certain to happen.

He can even imagine the picture, how the people of Nasa cheered when they saw this news.

These people are not using excuses to ask for money from the Congress. This is a comfortable thing. The country on the other side of the Pacific has already given them an excuse.

Just as Benderbauer was overwhelmed by the newspaper, the hand that turned the newspaper suddenly stopped.

I saw his sight and locked it in a line in the newspaper interview with Lu Zhou.

"Plasma engine..."

There was a word in his mouth, and he thought of something, and his voice gradually became excited.

"Plasma engine! It's it!"

Throwing away the newspaper in his hand, Bendbauer stood up from the office chair, walking with his hands behind his back around the office, and excitedly said.

“Electric propulsion, controllable fusion, it works perfectly! We can combine these two concepts together!”

At least on the ppt, it will not be very difficult.

"Sir, I am not pouring cold water on you..." Looking at him with a strange look, Burton Richter reminded, "We have not solved the most critical controllable fusion problem. What are you going to miniaturize? Go to the plasma engine."

Stopped, Bendbauer smiled and looked at Professor Richter.

"My dear Professor Richter, of course, I know that before you can bake the bread, you have to have bread first."

"However, it is no longer the past. Before we put the bread on the table, we must first let those who support us believe that we can do it!"

"This is more important than anything!"
