371: Public opinion is boiling!
Hearing the Ugly Country representative laugh.
Academician Huo's expression didn't change at all; he just looked seriously at the Ugly Country representative in front of him and said.
"What our side has always called for is unity and cooperation, technology sharing. Relying solely on the strength of one country to achieve successful commercial ignition of controllable nuclear fusion.
The difficulty is extremely high. This is a civilization-level project that requires all key countries on Earth to unite, share technology, concentrate funds, and cooperate in unity!
Only then is it possible for us to complete the construction of controllable nuclear fusion!"
Academician Huo's appeal in the venue, however, was met with merciless mockery from the Ugly Country and some Europe country representatives.
"Hahahaha! I said before that Dragon Country wanted to sign ITER simply to obtain technical data from various countries.
Haven't you always been like this? You say so much, but anyway, I've said it, this is impossible!
ITER's technology is limited to the research data within ITER! As for our other nuclear fusion technologies domestically, why should we leak them to you?"
The Ugly Country representative's face revealed merciless mockery.
"But!"
Academician Huo still wanted to say something.
"There are no 'buts'! If you can't accept it, Dragon Country should just withdraw from ITER! Hahaha!"
The Ugly Country representative laughed heartily while looking at Academician Huo.
Hearing the Ugly Country representative's words, Academician Huo was silent for a while.
Academician Huo turned his head to look at the representatives of other countries.
"Let's vote by show of hands! Those who agree to open up all their country's technology regarding nuclear fusion for sharing, raise your hand!"
Saying this, Academician Huo raised his hand. All the representatives of the other countries around had cold expressions, their gazes almost all falling on the Ugly Country representative's face.
"Don't waste your breath!"
The Ugly Country representative's face was full of mocking smiles.
"No one would be that foolish, willing to disclose all their technology!"
Hearing the Ugly Country representative's words and looking at the other representatives before him.
Academician Huo sighed deeply.
"Since that's the case, then there is indeed no need to stay in such an ITER! On behalf of Dragon Country, I withdraw from ITER!"
Saying this, Academician Huo stood up abruptly. The ITER contract clauses in his hand were directly torn up by Academician Huo.
He turned and left the meeting room.
The Ugly Country representative beside him looked at Academician Huo's back, a hint of hesitation appearing in his eyes.
When did Dragon Country suddenly become so tough?
If it were before, Dragon Country would generally tolerate this matter, but today they actually chose to directly confront it!
This is completely unlike Dragon Country's style!
Could it be that Dragon Country is doing this intentionally?
But, this shouldn't be!
ITER itself also possesses quite a bit of technology, research technology. Although it's not the technology of each country itself, ITER itself also has a lot of technology!
Dragon Country also joined ITER for the sake of this collaborative research technology!
But what is this now??
The Ugly Country representative only now emerged from his previous state; he keenly sensed a slight abnormality.
Could it be that this Dragon Country representative is doing this on purpose?
Dragon Country has made a significant breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion?
But how is that possible!?
The Ugly Country representative frowned tightly. He didn't understand why the Dragon Country representative would suddenly make such a radical move.
What on earth happened?
It can't really be that Dragon Country's controllable nuclear fusion has made significant progress, right!
The Ugly Country representative's eyes were full of doubt.
Although doubtful, Dragon Country withdrawing from ITER is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just a pity that he hasn't received Dragon Country's membership fee for ITER this year.
But it can still be considered a good thing!
The news of Dragon Country withdrawing from ITER quickly caused a stir both domestically and internationally.
"I heard that Dragon Country's representative actually dared to just walk away from the meeting table! Impressive!"
"Indeed, the Dragon Country representative requested that all countries open up their controllable nuclear fusion technology, then gather personnel, and all directly enter ITER. This way, resources would be concentrated.
Technology would be concentrated, and in that case, human civilization might even achieve great development because of it!"
"Truly impressive! It's a pity, Ugly Country has always been frantically restricting Dragon Country's technological development. Regarding the core technology of controllable nuclear fusion, and some other core technologies, how could they possibly be shared!"
"Exactly!"
The foreign public opinion sphere was in an uproar.
This matter quickly spread domestically as well.
"Holy crap??? We actually withdrew from ITER??? Is that necessary?!"
"Exactly, exactly, why suddenly mention these! controllable nuclear fusion technology, due to its special nature, is something that no country has been able to complete on its own!
Why did it suddenly become a heated argument, and Dragon Country actually withdrew from this place! I'm truly speechless!"
"What's going on? Are we preparing to isolate ourselves? Ridiculous! We're actually cutting ourselves off from the world!"
...
Both domestically and internationally, the noise was incessant. Those who understood the situation slightly were very dissatisfied at this time, and many people felt that Dragon Country's withdrawal from ITER was a bad move!
Why?!
This contract creation can be said to be entirely beneficial for Dragon Country with no harm!
But now, clearly Dragon Country has already spent billions in funds for this technology, yet precisely at this time, they chose to end it!
For everyone, it was an unacceptable matter.
Yet, the Dragon Country official side had no intention of coming out to explain at all.
All departments remained silent.
This matter caused a great uproar.
But in the end, it gradually subsided. Everyone stopped paying attention to this matter. Except for some people domestically who were still cursing, public opinion eventually gradually calmed down.
Time passed little by little.
Four months quietly passed.
"Experiment No. 41939."
Guo Hao looked at the experimental situation before him.
He was rapidly calculating on the computer screen.
The experiments over these four months, with nearly ten military Laboratories cooperating fully, conducted over forty thousand experiments in just four months.
Providing Guo Hao with a large amount of experimental data.
Guo Hao finally calculated the data.
Beginning to design the experimental procedure.
Finally, at four months and thirteen days.
Guo Hao finally made tungsten-plated nanocrystalline ODS steel in the Laboratory!
Looking at the ODS steel shimmering with crystal clear light before him.
Strong excitement appeared in Guo Hao's eyes.
After greeting General Wang.
Guo Hao quickly returned to the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Center.
During these four-plus months, Guo Hao rarely returned here.
"Director Guo!"
"Director Guo!"
Seeing Guo Hao return, many people around him gathered around and called out to Guo Hao.
"Mm!"
Guo Hao smiled and nodded.
"Let's go! Start a new round of fusion reaction!"
Guo Hao said with slight excitement.
"Okay, Director Guo!"
The people around quickly began making arrangements.
Guo Hao had already instructed someone to place the coated ODS steel near the first wall!
