"This is interesting." Academician Wang Zengguang looked through the blueprints that Lu Zhou handed him and rubbed his chin. He had a look of interest on his face.
After a while, he spoke.
"Who designed this thing?"
Lu Zhou obviously wouldn't tell him the real answer, so he gave a simple answer.
"The institute discussed it."
Therefore, in a sense, he was part of the institute.
"Discussing" with the system could barely be considered a "discussion", right?
Academician Wang looked at Lu Zhou suspiciously and said, "Even if it's a discussion, there has to be a person who made the decision, right? What kind of sh * t can we come up with? "
Lu Zhou smiled and didn't explain much. He ended the topic.
"Let's not dwell on these details. Instead of talking about who made the decision, I want to know if the China National Nuclear Corporation can complete this production process with these blueprints."
Academician Wang looked back at the blueprints and rubbed his chin. He then said, "It's a bit difficult, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
When Lu Zhou heard that Academician Wang wasn't a problem, he sighed in relief and nodded.
"Okay then, I'll leave it to you guys."
"No problem, I promise we'll solve it as soon as possible." Academician Wang suddenly smiled at Lu Zhou and said, "It seems like Professor Lu really knows his stuff."
Lu Zhou: "…"
This guy, he doesn't think I drew it, right?
Lu Zhou remembered what happened last time he drew the blueprints, and he guessed why Academician Wang had this kind of misunderstanding.
But …
Let them misunderstand as much as they wanted. It didn't bother him anyway.
It's better to misunderstand than to get to the bottom of it.
Academician Wang looked at the blueprints in his hand and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh yeah, even though the controllable fusion project is a national issue, we still have to make a clear distinction between public and private. This technology was developed by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, so we can't just take it for free. My suggestion is to cooperate and set up a factory. You guys will invest your technology and we will be responsible for the production. "
If someone else took out this blueprint, Academician Wang Zengguang would probably not mention it. However, Lu Zhou's identity was different.
What did the position of chief designer mean?
It was up to him to decide how and where to spend tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Plus, he was highly regarded by the higher-ups. Even a giant in the nuclear power industry like the China National Nuclear Corporation didn't want to offend him.
Therefore, even though Lu Zhou didn't seem to be particularly calculative, Academician Wang still subconsciously thought about it a little more. In order not to leave any hidden dangers in the future, he couldn't let Lu Zhou feel like he was at a disadvantage.
This matter had to be mentioned to the group's leaders.
Hearing this suggestion, Lu Zhou didn't think much of it and replied, "Okay, then let's do it this way."
Actually, Academician Wang was thinking too much. He didn't really care about this. After all, compared to the huge lithium-sulfur battery market, the first wall of controllable nuclear fusion materials could be said to be a drop in the bucket.
If the LPC-1 material patent fees could make Lu Zhou a dime, then setting up a factory with the China National Nuclear Corporation would at most turn that dime into 14 or 15 cents.
If he really wanted to make money, he didn't need to care about these small profits. He could just directly develop the controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Not to mention, the country would definitely reward him for this achievement. Just the impact of the nuclear fusion technology alone would be enough to expand the lithium-sulfur battery market by several times. Just the patent fees for the anode and cathode materials alone would be enough to make a lot of money.
However, there was no point in saying all of this.
After all, he had so much money in his bank account that he couldn't even spend it all.
Even if he added a zero at the end …
Emm …
Jesus Christ, that's pretty attractive.
While Lu Zhou and Academician Wang were talking about the technical details of the blueprints, there was a knock on the office door.
Lu Zhou stopped talking and looked at the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a researcher walked in.
"There's an expert from Southwest."
Southwest?
When Lu Zhou heard this, his face was full of surprise.
"Who?"
"Academician Zhou Chengfu …"
…
A group of people stood at the gate of the demonstration reactor base.
Accompanied by Wang Peng, Lu Zhou walked over and signaled the soldiers on duty to open the checkpoint. When Lu Zhou saw Zhou Chengfu standing there, he smiled and reached out his hand.
"Nice to meet you."
Zhou Chengfu shook hands with Lu Zhou. He didn't have much of an expression on his face, and he seemed to be very quiet.
"Nice to meet you."
Lu Zhou felt like Zhou Chengfu had something to say, so he invited him and said, "Do you want to sit in my office for a bit?"
Zhou Chengfu nodded.
"Sure."
The two of them walked side by side, and they didn't talk much.
In order to make the atmosphere less tense, Lu Zhou thought for a while and tried to find a common topic. He then spoke in a casual tone.
"Is the HL-2A repaired?"
Zhou Chengfu said with a straight face, "Thanks to you, not yet."
Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry to trouble you guys."
Zhou Chengfu: "…"
Even though he came with the purpose of "peace", when he saw Lu Zhou's annoying smile, it took him a lot of effort to resist the urge to beat him up.
They walked through the middle of the factory site, and coincidentally, the two of them passed by a large pit.
Zhou Chengfu looked at the construction equipment and the giant pit in the middle of the factory site. He frowned and spoke.
"What is that?"
Because it wasn't a secret, Lu Zhou casually said, "The core catcher is mainly used to prevent safety accidents. That is, to collect and cool the material flowing out of the nuclear core in the event of a serious accident … Even though it's just a foundation right now, it should be fixed within the year."
After all, the controllable fusion reactor simulated the energy of a star. Even though the fusion reaction was theoretically safe, the hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma itself was quite a terrifying threat.
Especially the energy in the demonstration reactor, which was completely different from the ignition that Lu Zhou barely performed in the experimental reactor.
If there was a leakage accident, before the plasma cooled down to a safe temperature, it would basically melt everything it touched. There was no material in the entire solar system that could stop it.
In order to protect the expensive fusion core, the importance of this device was highlighted.
Even though it was a one-time use device, as long as they could save some of the undamaged parts in the first place, it would be worth it.
Zhou Chengfu looked at the structure of the fission reactor and immediately guessed its purpose. He looked at Lu Zhou with surprise.
"You guys even considered this part?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It wasn't our idea, it was proposed by the engineers from the China National Nuclear Corporation. I thought about it and thought it made sense, so I approved it. "
Whether it was the tokamak or the stellarator, it could be understood as a larger nuclear core.
After the engineers from the China National Nuclear Corporation understood the value of the reactor, they immediately proposed to use the core catcher from the third-generation nuclear fission reactor at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant on the fusion reactor.
It just so happened that the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant could be used as a reference, so Lu Zhou immediately made the decision.
Even though Lu Zhou didn't have any intention of showing off, Zhou Chengfu couldn't help but be jealous when he heard this. He said, "Why are you doing these fancy things? Have you built the reactor yet?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "The reactor is also being built, and the two projects don't interfere with each other. We have unified the size of the connection interface. After we get all the parts, we can assemble them. "
This time, Zhou Chengfu didn't say anything.
He didn't have anything to say.
If you don't understand, you don't have the right to speak. Academic matters were very realistic here.
He hadn't even fully understood the technology of the experimental reactor, let alone the demonstration reactor.
The two of them subconsciously stopped next to the construction site. Zhou Chengfu didn't seem like he wanted to continue walking. He just stood there and quietly looked at the engineering equipment on the construction site, as well as the engineers walking on the edge of the scaffolding.
This included what he could see in front of him and what he couldn't see from where he stood.
More than a thousand people were working on this machine.
The entire demonstration reactor site was like a full-powered machine, and everyone was like a gear, driven by an engine spindle, running at a high speed.
Jealous?
Emotional?
Or unbelievable?
Zhou Chengfu's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he couldn't describe what he was feeling.
He didn't understand how a young man in his twenties could do this. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would never believe that all of this was real.
However, the reality was that Lu Zhou actually did it …
This was an irrefutable fact.
When Zhou Chengfu saw this, he suddenly felt a little depressed.
Just like how Old Pan didn't understand why Lu Zhou did this, he didn't understand Old Pan either.
But now, looking at everything in front of him, he suddenly understood.
If it continued to develop at this rate, who knows …
This person really had a chance of creating controllable nuclear fusion power in his lifetime.
After a long period of silence, Zhou Chengfu slowly said.
"These two thousand people are working for you, right?"
Lu Zhou: "You're right."
Zhou Chengfu looked at Lu Zhou and said, "Have you ever thought that one day, because of your decision, or because of your mistake, or because of someone else, they lose their research project … I want to know, what would you do?"
Lu Zhou: "What does this have to do with me?"
Zhou Chengfu was stunned.
He didn't expect Lu Zhou to say this.
After standing there in a daze for a while, he came back to his senses and smiled.
"Oh? Nothing to do with you? Haha, a leader who doesn't know how to care for his subordinates isn't a good leader. "
Lu Zhou smiled.
