Chapter 284 The most important thing is money

"Haha, nuclear fusion is still fifty years away from application! Of course, it may take forever!" Scientists have claimed from the very beginning that controllable nuclear fusion can be achieved in only fifty years, but today they are

It’s still fifty years in my mouth! It hasn’t shortened at all.◇↓◇↓Novel.¥f

"As for how long it will take for me to lead the team, it depends on how much support the country can provide!" Lu Qiujian continued, "As far as I know, from the Sixth Five-Year Plan to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the country has

The total funding invested in this area is only 2.5 billion! With all due respect, if it is such an intensity, I am afraid that we may not be able to touch the edge of controllable nuclear fusion in another fifty years!"

"Well, our country's investment in basic fields cannot be compared with that of the United States!" Although Qin Feng heard this figure for the first time, he was not surprised; after all, although China's economic development has been rapid in recent years,

Rapidly, but compared with the United States, the foundation is still very weak, so investment in basic areas that will not see benefits in a short period of time is quite limited.

The country can spend a lot of money to invest in areas such as aircraft carriers and aircraft because these have been proven feasible and the country has these needs in a short period of time; as for basic projects such as cepc and Jinping Underground Laboratory, there are also international precedents, and

The entire world is in the exploratory stage of controllable nuclear fusion, and no matter how much money is invested, it may not be effective.

"With the current level of technology, it costs hundreds of billions to build, maintain and operate a tokamak fusion device. Considering the practice in the field of controllable thermonuclear fusion, this cost may need to be multiplied by five to get close to the real cost!" If reported directly!

If it's 500 billion, I'm afraid no country in the world will approve this expense, so

When applying for fees, you usually fold it in half and then in half, and then give a small amount of funds needed for one period (of course, this small amount is also relative). After getting the money, you can make something first, or even directly carry out a project.

After doing some paper work and then requesting the second phase of funds, the required funds were slowly collected.

But this has a disadvantage, because overspending may occur at any time during this process, which is almost inevitable; after overspending, it will inevitably be attacked. The project may be cut in half because of this; the SSC in the United States was discontinued for this reason.

Then someone will ask, controllable nuclear fusion is an extremely great project. Once successful, it will completely solve the energy problem and greatly improve people's living standards. It is also appropriate for the country to invest huge amounts in this!

That's right. But the perspective of looking at the problem should not be too single. Investing funds on a large scale in a single field will lead to a series of problems; first of all, you are not sure that the investment will be rewarded. In the history of mankind, investing huge amounts of money will lead to a series of problems.

There are countless cases where funding attempts to make scientific breakthroughs have ultimately failed. For example, Neon's fifth-generation computer development plan in the last century cost hundreds of billions of yen in vain; if the country invested 500 billion to develop a controllable nuclear

Fusion, but ultimately failed, I am afraid no one can bear this responsibility.

Secondly, it is not just the controllable nuclear fusion project that is in urgent need of funds. The country’s annual science and technology funding is so much, what if all the controllable nuclear fusion projects are given to other projects? Should high-energy physics research be carried out? Is it possible that aerospace engineering has to do it because there is no funds?

Are you going to step down? Mr. Yuan wants to stop hybrid rice research and go home to take care of himself?

As for reducing expenditures in other fields and investing in the field of science and technology, I'm sorry, the people in the west are still eating grass! Although the country has a lot of money, nothing can be cut!

All in all, it is true that controllable nuclear fusion is very important. It is also true that the country should invest funds in research, but the amount of funds can only be adjusted according to the country's existing economic situation, and it is impossible to provide unlimited support.

"Five hundred billion!" Qin Feng's scalp went numb when he heard this number. "Our province's GDP last year was just over one trillion, ranking fourth among all provinces in the country! A single project costs our province

Half of GDP!”

And this 500 billion may not necessarily be effective. If it is determined that 500 billion can achieve controllable nuclear fusion, then the country will do it even if it tightens its belt like it did back then, but no one can guarantee it.

"Haha, this is just an inference I made based on the current technological level of the country. And it is only the operating cost of the Tokmak device!" First calm the other party, and then it is time to give some hope, "But if it were me,

I do not intend to use the Tokmak device as a way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion! The cost is relatively low."

"Of course. It's too early to say this now! Let's discuss the next step after you verify the information on increasing tritium production!" Lu Qiujian didn't expect that he could get him to do it just by relying on his own deception.

Get yourself a large amount of unrestricted funds. Anyway, it’s still some time before you graduate, so take your time first!

"Well, I will find someone to verify this matter immediately after I return!" Qin Feng nodded and said, today's meeting was a surprise for him. At first, he just wanted to have a casual chat with a young talent in the scientific community.

, I did not expect to hear such surprising news; if the prospects he described can be realized, then the great rejuvenation of China is right around the corner.

"Send someone to go with me to get the information in a moment!" Feeling that the conversation was almost over, Lu Qiujian stood up and said, "Don't worry, these studies are all conducted by me in private, whether it is teachers and classmates from the University of Munich or Cern

None of my colleagues know!”

"Xiao Lu! This research is really important. If people know that you have made a breakthrough in this area, I'm afraid there will be problems with your personal safety. I don't think it's better for you to go back to the country right now!" Qin Feng reminded.

Whether it is the United States, which is the world's hegemon, or the countries in the Middle East that rely on oil to rapidly enter wealthy countries, they will not allow China to master this technology. If they know that Lu Qiujian has a method to quickly achieve controllable nuclear fusion, then I am afraid that

I will try my best to bribe or destroy him!

"I will finish my Ph.D. in more than a year. I still need to borrow Cern's equipment for some research, so I can't leave for the time being!" Lu Qiujian politely declined Qin Feng's suggestion, as he has not gained enough reputation in Europe yet.

Well, even if he goes back now, he will only be helping others at most, which is inconsistent with his goal. "Besides, I am usually very careful. So far, you are the first person to know that I have research in this area!" (Unfinished)

to be continued.)
