Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

It only took an hour for Ning Chen to complete the design of the new plan based on actual needs.

In order to accommodate a large enough tokamak device, the current experimental base must be renovated. Fortunately, this is only a temporary experimental base. The renovation has been planned before, and it will not be difficult to start the construction. Very troublesome.

Now, the problem that Ning Chen found even more difficult was a business problem.

“I wonder which businesses are willing to accept this new method of power transmission that carries certain risks... The procedures for establishing a power plant are also an issue that must be considered.”

Many people tend to be quite resistant to some new technologies, especially technologies involving the word "nuclear", which always make people feel that there may be certain risks.

But this is also a very normal thing. Ning Chen himself would probably have similar worries.

"Forget it, just do it step by step. After all, this is the only way for human civilization to develop energy. Someone has to take the first step."

After sorting out all the plans, Ning Chen did not rush to hold a meeting in the project team the next day. Instead, he contacted Yue Jiafeng first and explained his thoughts.

Ning Chen thought that the project would definitely have to be approved by Yue Jiafeng in the end anyway, so why not contact Yue Jiafeng first so that he could have some clearer ideas on whether the project could pass the approval.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen simply edited his thoughts and sent the details of the file loaded in the attachment to Yue Jiafeng.

At this moment, Yue Jiafeng is sitting in the office working as always. Although Yue Jiafeng's physical fitness is good, years of high-intensity work has indeed put Yue Jiafeng to a very strong test.

Sometimes, Yue Jiafeng also wants to take a break, but thinking that there is still a lot of work to deal with, Yue Jiafeng still tries hard to persevere.

At this moment, Yue Jiafeng heard a very special prompt tone.

This was Ning Chen's voice when he sent a message to himself. In order to be able to see the message sent by Ning Chen as soon as possible, Yue Jiafeng also made such a special setting.

"Ning Chen...is ready to enter the commercialization stage of controllable nuclear fusion?"

Regarding this news, Yue Jiafeng was surprised and at the same time very excited.

Once upon a time, even Yue Jiafeng himself did not believe that mankind could completely solve the commercialization problem of controllable nuclear fusion within a few years or more than ten years.

From a pessimistic perspective, even within a hundred years, this problem may not be able to achieve a breakthrough.

However, the emergence of Ningchen and Xingchen Technology has directly pressed the "fast forward" button on the research progress of controllable nuclear fusion.

However, after seeing the detailed plan in Ning Chen's attachment, Yue Jiafeng couldn't help but frown.

"This is indeed a difficult problem to solve... We can only find a way to help Xingchen Technology complete the special approval."

Because this matter was very urgent, Yue Jiafeng immediately discussed it with other leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Everyone is very supportive of the development of new energy, but Xingchen Technology is indeed too fast. It has completed the controllable nuclear fusion breakthrough in the experimental stage so quickly, and has theoretically achieved commercialization. possible.

"Academician Yue, I think we should support Star Technology. The use of nuclear fusion energy is an inevitable result of the development of human civilization. The early realization of commercialized controllable nuclear fusion can make our technological development faster."

"Yes, now we have used a lot of quantum computer technology. If this continues, our energy will indeed be in crisis. Star Technology can achieve a breakthrough in energy, which will be a great success for Xia State and even all mankind. It’s a great thing.”

Yue Jiafeng naturally understands the reason for this, but Yue Jiafeng is a little worried that this matter will not be so easy to advance.

After hesitating for a while, Yue Jiafeng decided not to be entangled anymore. Even if they did encounter resistance, they would definitely do their best to achieve a common goal.

"Okay! Since everyone has the same opinion, we will fully support Xingchen Technology and promote the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion!"

Of course, in actual operation, Yue Jiafeng cannot allow Xingchen Technology to be commercialized on a large scale from the beginning, but to conduct experimental commercial controllable nuclear fusion power generation on a small scale.

After confirming that the effect is indeed good, they will consider continuing to promote this model.

After the internal meeting, Yue Jiafeng truthfully told Ning Chen their thoughts.

"Professor Ning, regarding your idea of ​​commercializing a controllable nuclear fusion power plant, we have also had a discussion within the Chinese Academy of Sciences. On the whole, we still support your idea. Of course, there are still many issues that need to be paid attention to in actual implementation. of……"

Looking at Yue Jiafeng's reply, Ning Chen was still in a good mood.

Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences is still cautious about the development of controllable nuclear fusion, as long as subsequent projects can be implemented, Ning Chen can always get closer to his dream bit by bit.

Ning Chen expressed his gratitude to Yue Jiafeng and said that he would formally apply for this project through Xingchen Technology in the future.

…………

In the following time, Ning Chen made partial modifications to the project plan in accordance with the requirements of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and formally submitted the revised plan.

As promised to Ning Chen before, the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully passed Xingchen Technology's project request, and Xingchen Technology's plan to expand the scale of its controllable nuclear fusion research base was officially launched.

Since there is no permanent population around this experimental base, it is not difficult to expand the scale. After receiving the formal approval, the project started soon.

In order to better handle various trivial matters, Ning Chen also called Lu Minghao over and handed over some tasks to Lu Minghao.

"Manager Lu, now we need to find some partners who are willing to cooperate with us to use the power obtained by our factory through nuclear fusion reactions. This matter is not very easy to handle, and there are many places where you need to pay special attention..."

Listening to Ning Chen's story, Lu Minghao couldn't help but frown slightly.

Originally, Lu Minghao also knew that it would be difficult to deal with this matter, but the difficulties that Lu Minghao thought of were only the stability of controllable nuclear fusion power generation, whether it would produce pollution, etc., but they were not as comprehensive as Ning Chen thought.

"I see... No wonder the Chinese Academy of Sciences rejected many of our requests. It seems that the commercial development of controllable nuclear fusion is not as easy as imagined, and we still have to do it step by step."

After understanding Ning Chen's thoughts and concerns, Lu Minghao set out to carry out relevant work.

As expected by Ning Chen and Lu Minghao, many people felt that they did not trust the use of this new type of energy.

Even though it has more efficient power generation and lower price, people still express some resistance to using this energy source.

"I heard that nuclear power plants are not very safe and it is best not to use this energy."

"Yes, this method of power generation may also cause environmental pollution. Can we allow nuclear power plants to be built next to us?"

"There should be no pollution from nuclear fusion, but this method of power generation is not yet mature enough. There may be frequent power outages. It is better to wait and see for a while."

Seeing that everyone was not very accepting of the energy source of controllable nuclear fusion, Ning Chen simply made the nearby Xingchen Technology Branch the first target for the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion.

In fact, Ning Chen still has very strong confidence in the stability of controllable nuclear fusion power generation. As long as there are companies willing to accept this power generation method, Ning Chen believes that everyone will have a new understanding of controllable nuclear fusion power generation.

Just when Ning Chen felt a little anxious, the first person who was willing to eat crabs finally appeared.

Warwick Company took the initiative to contact Xingchen Technology and was willing to let some of its companies take the lead in joining the plan to use controllable nuclear fusion power generation.

Ning Chen is also very grateful for the olive branch offered by Warwick Company. After all, this technology has not undergone any commercial attempts. Warwick Company dares to take the risk to be the first to use this technology, which is enough to show the relationship between the two companies. How close.

Ning Chen hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Warwick Company, but Warwick Company was very low-key and did not think this was something worthy of Xingchen Technology's gratitude.

"Mr. Ning, we at Warwick Company are also very honored to be the first to obtain the use of new energy. Controlled nuclear fusion energy is the mainstream of future energy. Warwick Company is willing to help Xingchen Technology complete the research and development of this technology..."

One of the important reasons why Warwick Company was the first to stand up was Xingchen Technology's previous support for Warwick Company.

When Warwick Company fell into the "chip crisis", it was Xingchen Technology that bravely stood with Warwick Company and built the world's first photolithography factory. By "overtaking on corners", they solved their problem. Dilemma of chip availability.

Now, when Xingchen Technology encounters difficulties in promoting controllable nuclear fusion power generation, Warwick Company naturally has to step forward first. While supporting Ningchen and Xingchen Technology, it also supports the development of Xiaguo's new energy industry.

In order to ensure stable power consumption for these users who use controllable nuclear fusion power generation, Xingchen Technology has established a very strict power supply system.

Even if the Tokamak device does experience a failure, the backup power supply system can be put into use at any time to ensure the stability of power generation.

As compensation, these enterprises and users who use Xingchen Technology power plants will enjoy lower electricity prices than normal electricity prices. If used for a long time, they can indeed save a lot of money.

…………

During the expansion of Xingchen Technology’s controllable nuclear fusion power plant, Shengzhou University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly promoted the progress of one thing.

That was the matter of conferring the title of academician to Ning Chen.

In fact, with these achievements of Ning Chen, he has already met the criteria for selection as an academician. However, because Ning Chen is too young, they cannot select Ning Chen as an academician too early.

In addition, Ning Chen has been busy with various projects, so this matter has been put on hold.

But now, the best time has come to complete this matter, and Ning Chen himself has made time to deal with this matter.

After Ning Chen submitted this application, after strict review by the selection team, Ning Chen officially passed the review by the selection team and became an official "Academician Ning".

Ning Chen received the title of academician at the age of just thirty, setting a record for the youngest academician in the history of Xia Kingdom.

At the ceremony of being awarded the academician, Ning Chen, after thanking everyone, did not forget to promote Xingchen Technology's commercial controllable nuclear fusion project.

"Everyone should have heard that Xingchen Technology is currently conducting a commercial controllable nuclear fusion project. This project will face many challenges during the process. However, I believe that this project will eventually succeed. …”

The ceremony was attended by some big-name figures in Xia's scientific research community. Ning Chen also hoped to get more people's support in order to better promote this project.

After the academician awarding ceremony ended, many people at the scene came to Ning Chen and started chatting with Ning Chen.

"Academician Ning, congratulations! Being able to become an academician at this age is really incredible!"

"Hey, with Academician Yi Ning's achievements, he should have been elected as an academician a long time ago. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and now it really belongs to the young generation."

Facing everyone's appreciation, Ning Chen said modestly:

"Seniors, I still have a lot to learn from you. There is still a long way to go in the future."

"Academician Ning, you are too humble. You are the first in the history of the world to win the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize in Physics at the same time. And the reason why you won these awards is not It’s not because you meet the selection criteria for these awards, but because there are only these top awards in the world..."

It's like a top student getting a perfect score. It doesn't mean that a perfect score is the limit of a top student, but that the limit of the score on this paper is only a full score.

After talking about the selection of academicians, everyone's topic gradually shifted to controllable nuclear fusion.

"Academician Ning, I wonder how the controllable nuclear fusion project of Xingchen Technology is progressing now? These experiments have achieved complete success, and they should soon enter the application stage, right?"

"Yes, we have been paying attention to the development of controllable nuclear fusion. Every time the experiment is successful, I am always excited in front of the screen. I really hope that in my lifetime, I can see that Xia State can use mature controllable nuclear energy. Fusion technology.”
