Chapter 1041
"Dr. Carr, I'm a reporter for the New York Times, and I'd like to ask you about the Carr nuclear fusion device, how powerful is it?"
"I'm a reporter for the Tokyo Daily News."
"I'm with the Associated Press ......"
Surrounded by a group of journalists, Dr. Karl was not only not bored, but he was also enjoying the flashes of camera lights.
There is no such thing as a man who lives for fame, fortune or some great pursuit, and there is no such thing as a man who is absolutely free of desire because he lives in a world of worldly affairs.
In the past, Dr Karl had the dream of working out a nuclear fusion device, which took him almost his whole life, and he did it in the present.
With his heart's desire fulfilled and his whole being relaxed, now is not the time to talk about higher ideals.
For he himself was well aware that at his age, the reputation of having prepared such a controlled fusion device was already enough to make him world-famous.
There was no need to win more fame, and he didn't have the energy to do so. For now, he just needed to enjoy the accolades from his country and the outside world, and take refuge in God's good wishes for a peaceful old age.
"Don't be in a hurry, everyone, one by one, I will take my time to answer any questions that I can." Dr Karl smiled, pointing to a pretty American female journalist.
Seeing this, the journalist asked delightedly, "Dr. Carr, I would like to ask about the Carter fusion device, what power is it, how big is it, and in the future will fusion energy, replace oil and coal?"
"The Carl fusion device, currently at thirty million kilowatts, is the world's first controlled fusion energy device, and at the same time, compared to the world's largest nuclear fission device, it is an order of magnitude more powerful, and environmentally friendly, than the latter."
After a pause, Dr. Yara smiled, "In the future, nuclear fusion energy, naturally, can replace oil and coal because he is cleaner than coal and oil, and more convenient and powerful."
Another reporter asked, "Dr. Yarra, I heard that China is also doing fusion research, in your opinion, how soon will they be able to prepare a fusion device like the Carter?"
Hearing this, a disdainful smile appeared on Dr. Karl's old face as he said, "It's true that China has been developing rapidly in recent years, but despite their status as one of the world's leading powers, China is still not a developed country, it's still considered a developing country."
"I have been engaged in the research of nuclear fusion for more than forty years, and I have put my heart and soul into it since the last century, and at the time when I started to research nuclear fusion technology, China was still solving the heavy technical difficulties of nuclear fission power plants."
"I am here and can conclude that within the next five years, it is unlikely that any country in the world, including China, RB, Russia and the major European powers, will have mature nuclear fusion technology."
How complex and difficult nuclear fusion technology is, only Dr Karl himself knows. Not even his partner and closest student knows as much as he does on this point.
After five or six consecutive questions from journalists, the redness of Dr Karl's face intensified. He pointed to a female Asian journalist.
This reporter was none other than a Chinese, and she asked in a rush, "Doctor, I've heard that metallic hydrogen is an important material for the preparation of nuclear fusion devices, correct?"
"That is certainly true, without metallic hydrogen, a controlled fusion device could never be prepared."
The reporter went on to ask, "So in your opinion, Future Technology launched metallic hydrogen last year, so is it possible that their company has, also, developed a nuclear fusion device?"
"That ......" sniffed Dr. Karl, hesitating.
Future Technology was a magical company, and all those who dared to question this company in the past had all been miserably beaten in the face, even Exploding Head.
Thinking about its miraculous nature, for a moment Dr Karl did not know how to answer.
But then he looked around at the expectant eyes of the journalists and thought about the difficulties of preparing a nuclear fusion device.
With a clench of his teeth, Dr. Karl then said, "The preparation of metallic hydrogen is not directly related to nuclear fusion technology, and I don't think Future Technology has the strength to do so, because it is like a company that produces chips and cannot prepare a computer, these are two concepts."
With these words, Dr. Karl was even more certain of his opinion, and for a moment his face showed a confident smile. But just then, an untimely voice rang out.
"No, right, Future Technology can produce chips, but I seem to remember that at last year's launch event, they also came out with an ultra-thin laptop with very powerful features."
......
In the internet age, information is transmitted particularly quickly. The press conference over here had just ended, and in less than half an hour, the news that the US had developed a nuclear fusion device was known around the world.
In a flash, rumours flew on the internet, and all kinds of speculations and comments spread like a swarm across all walks of life.
On Li Linfei's side, he took Tan Gang to the First Research Institute and delivered the nuclear fusion device and the large generator set to Tan Gang, which he had already prepared.
When it was over, the time came in the early hours of the morning.
Tan Gang mobilised his troops overnight and transported the device back to Yanjing.
The next morning at seven o'clock number two arrived in his office.
Not dealing with paperwork, he was pacing the office, smoking a special cigarette. Half a minute later, there was a knock on the office room door.
"Enter." Number Two spat out a word.
The door to the room was pushed open, and Number Two's gaze then looked over.
"Chief, the news has been verified and it's true!" Number Two's secretary walked in and said with a stony face.
"Hmm." Number Two nodded, his face sinking as he took two fierce puffs of his cigarette and walked over to his desk, stubbing it out in the ashtray.
"What's the situation over at the Energy Bureau, have you made contact yet?" A few moments later, Number Two asked.
"I made a point of finding out yesterday afternoon that the current nuclear fusion technology has encountered some difficulties, and it will take at least two more years to complete the research by our experts alone." The secretary replied.
On the American side, the time for China to research a nuclear fusion device was estimated at five years, but China had a good base, and it would only take two years to complete it. And China had previously thought that the United States would also need one or two years, but they had not expected to get it done in most of the year.
Between each other, the estimates for the other side were a bit off. "Two years? No no, it's too long, alas ......" With a long sigh, Number Two took a few slow steps and sat down on the couch, his brow furrowed unstretched.
Chapter 1042
"Right, what about Xiao Tan's side, is there any concrete progress in future technology?" Suddenly, Number Two's eyes lit up slightly.
Now, relying on that group of experts from the Energy Bureau team alone, it was impossible to make things happen in a short period of time, so one had to look outwards.
And since Future Technology was the party previously commissioned by the military to build the nuclear fusion device, one would think they would have the backbone to take on the project.
"Oh, Minister Tan called last night, but you were already resting at the time, Chief, so I didn't disturb you." The secretary said.
"What did he say?" Number Two hurriedly pursued the question.
"Minister Tan didn't say anything, except that he would come to report the details to you personally." The secretary shook his head.
"Report in person? This little Tan, what the hell is he up to?" Number Two frowned slightly.
And just as he was frowning, a surprised voice came from the corridor outside his office.
"Chief, there's great news, great news!"
The sound arrived before the person arrived.
Tan Gang hurried to the office door, standing there panting, a face flushed with excitement.
"Come in, come in and talk, why today, you are different from before, so sullen." When Number Two saw Minister He, he hurriedly beckoned to him.
At the same time, his secretary hurriedly poured water for Tan Gang.
"Hey."
After entering the door, Tan Gang took the glass of water from his secretary's hand, poured in a mouthful, and laughed harshly, "Chief, great joy, we don't have to look at the old US this time."
"Oh? Speak more clearly." A bright light flashed in Number Two's eyes.
"Hey, I went to Xiangzhong City again yesterday and met with Li Linfei." Tan just had a face full of flowers and was in an extremely good mood.
"As soon as we met, I asked him about the nuclear fusion device, but Li Linfei was a dry person, and told me explicitly that the nuclear fusion device had already been built, and judging from the way he spoke at the time, I reckoned that this kid must have mastered the nuclear fusion technology a long time ago."
Tan Gang's words smacked of resentment, and he thought to himself that if he hadn't gone to Xiangzhong City to meet Li Linfei in person this time, there was no telling how long this guy would have put off telling the military about the nuclear fusion device.
Number Two automatically omitted the private goods in Tan Gang's tone and confirmed with a mixture of surprise, "According to you, Future Technology has already built the nuclear fusion device, completely?"
"Hey, it's built, I've already had the stuff shipped back to the research institute in Yanjing overnight, that block, it's huge, it took a dozen transport planes to finish the transfer." Tan Gang nodded and laughed.
"Well, well, well, haha ......" The Second sniffed, his gaze shining with excitement.
Although as the chief, he should always maintain a breezy mood, at this moment, he could not help but feel that frenzy that was about to rush out from his chest because of Tan Gang's words.
After a burst of happy and reckless laughter, all the worries and sorrows that had been piled up in his heart all these days were washed away to the clouds.
"Ah Xiao Tan, it's been hard on you." The Second's old face glowed as he spoke to Tan Gang, before adding in a deep voice, "However, you have to go and determine the stability of the nuclear fusion device first, there can't be any trouble at this juncture."
"Yes, Chief, but, based on our relationship with Future Technology and that guy Li Linfei's nature, he wouldn't care to cheat us with fake goods, nor would he." Tan Gang said.
"Hmm, I know, but it's not much of a stretch to check it out quickly." Number Two nodded.
"After you're done, you immediately contact the Energy Bureau people and have them hold a press conference to pass the sub matter straight out, don't give the old American side a chance to run rampant, and give them a good, big-eared rap on their smug faces."
"Understood."
Tan Gang responded, "But Chief, this time Su Cheng said that if we want to hold a press conference, then the research maker, must add the name of Future Technology, but he also does not reject the inclusion of our own scientists on the list, what do you think about this?"
"It's a minor problem." A knowing smile flashed in Number Two's eyes.
"This kid is also smart, he's offended a lot of people now, made a big move in the automotive field, and the other day in the luxury field, offending too many companies, and now, well, he wants to use our hands to get the word out that they know fusion technology, in exchange for stability and to deter the curmudgeons, which we happen to need... ...Gao, this guy can't be judged by his age, he's really a little fox."
Tan Gang froze as he listened, and a moment later, his lips twitched slightly as he cursed, "This Li Linfei, son of a bitch, I thought why he was so dry, but it turns out he had another plan, I should have thought of that!"
"Alright, alright, no matter what, he's our lucky star. You should stop scolding too, hurry down and get ready, this matter cannot be done in a sloppy manner, it must be seen within three days." Number Two advised with a smile.
"OK, then I'll leave now ah, hey, right, chief, he wants a military industrial license ah." Tan was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered this matter.
"Give it to him, it's not a big deal." Number two said.
"Yes." Then Tan just left.
Two days later, it was just two days before the White House announced that the nuclear fusion device had been researched.
And at eleven o'clock this morning, China also held its latest launch for the nuclear fusion device.
The conference was chaired by Lieutenant General Tan Gang, head of the military's General Logistics Department, who told the media that China had built a controlled room temperature nuclear fusion device three months ago.
It was only due to some reasons that it was not reported to the outside world at the first time. The implication was clear: since the US had sent out the news in a high profile, China would take a step back and easily slap them in the face.
In addition to the news of the success of the nuclear fusion device research, Tan Gang also followed Li Linfei's wishes and put the big name of Future Technology in front of the news media, saying it all over again.
He said that Future Technology had played an indispensable role in this research.
In fact, the nuclear fusion device was originally created by Future Technology, an indispensable role? It would be appropriate to say that it was independently manufactured.
Of course, Tan just had to add the names of some of the country's researchers, but also in order to maintain the basic dignity of China.
On this point, Li Linfei did not object.
And after discussions with Li Linfei, the Chinese side, named the nuclear fusion device: Victory, the meaning is self-explanatory.
