Since Peng Juexian had prepared in advance, his report was not very long. It basically just refuted Robert Hull's previous speech and briefly mentioned his own solution ideas at the theoretical level.

As for the specific engineering solutions...

Not to mention that China has not yet reached a final conclusion, even if it has been finalized, it is impossible to announce it casually.

Therefore, the PPT quickly turned to the last page and the meeting entered the routine QA and break session.

The entire lecture hall was like a pressure cooker that had been suppressed for a long time, and it completely exploded at this moment.

The technical director of the French Atomic Energy Commission rushed directly to the control console and demanded to see the raw data. The Americans were typing frantically on their laptops, and the Japanese delegation all looked livid.

They have recognized that the spiral field parameters are highly similar to the JT-60U data, which shows that these things the Chinese have come up with are not groundless.

Of course, even if we only consider it from a logical point of view, the more shocking the conclusion is, the lower the probability that the relevant data is problematic.

Soon someone realized a bigger hidden danger.

"Director Morita, the upgrade plan from JT60U to JT60SA was made according to past theoretical explanations. Especially the new neutral particle beam injection device, the order has already been placed with Toshiba. If..."

Toshio Kodama, who was sitting in the second row, spoke in a serious tone.

If we were to say which individual has been most affected by this sudden turmoil, apart from Huang Zhitao, who was the first to discover the abnormality in the chart data, it would probably be him.

Even Robert Hull himself had to sit in the back row.

Toshio Kodama is from the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). He is the third-ranking person in the entire delegation, but he is actually an administrative staff member who came here to gild his resume.

According to original expectations, the delegation will return to China as a winner with a new cooperation plan with ITEA.

In addition to enhancing the corresponding voice, what is more important is that in the name of "international cooperation", a considerable number of restrictions on nuclear engineering research have actually been lifted.

With this qualification, he can smoothly transition to the position of JAEA chairman before the end of the year.

Originally, everything was a done deal.

As a result, not only is the cooperation at risk of falling through, but even the upgrade of JT60SA is fraught with the risk of huge losses.

Then the cooked duck will fly away.

However, before he could express his concerns, Yasuhiro Morita in front of him raised his hand to signal for silence:

"Please be patient. Although the current situation is not favorable to us, it is too early to draw a conclusion..."

At this point, the latter took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and then continued to explain:

"Kodama-kun, you are not a technician, so you may not understand. Even if the data they produce is reliable, such a complex analysis process often takes some time to be recognized by the academic community."

The second half of this sentence is somewhat offensive to Toshio Kodama.

But at this point, Morita can no longer care about so much.

For him, the most urgent task is to maintain the morale of the core members of the delegation, otherwise the subsequent work will be completely impossible to do.

The deputy head of the group beside him immediately understood what he meant, and took the opportunity to comfort Kodama Toshio and added:

"Captain Morita is right. Over the past thirty years, the explanations for the sawtooth instability have evolved from the complete magnetic reconnection model to the electron inertia model and then to the incomplete magnetic reconnection model. Each step can only be considered a limited improvement on the basis of the predecessors. Now they want to completely overturn the existing theory with just one report. How can that be that easy?"

Sure enough, after the top leaders expressed their opinions one after another, the pessimistic atmosphere that had originally permeated around the delegation finally dissipated a lot.

Only Kodama Toshio still looked unhappy——

In his opinion, Yasuhiro Morita has high prestige and seniority, and his students and former employees are spread throughout the entire industry. He is an evergreen tree that cannot be brought down no matter what. The deputy head of the group is his student and confidant. So it seems that he is going to put the blame on himself.

So he didn't say anything more, but just found an excuse to leave temporarily, preparing to sort out his own network resources to see if there was any way to break the deadlock.

His sudden standing up was like turning on some kind of switch.

Dr. Kim Ki-min suddenly said something to his assistant, who then grabbed his briefcase and rushed out the door.

Afterwards, delegations from various countries that had just been discussing the matter left the meeting one after another. It seemed that they were all preparing to report the situation to their home countries as soon as possible.

Of course, some people are really paying attention to some of the details mentioned in the report.

"Mr. Peng, your speech is very... insightful, but I still have a few questions that I hope you can answer."

Dimitri Savkin asked in a trembling English:

"You just mentioned that it is not feasible to control the period of sawtooth oscillation by adjusting the magnetic shear of the q=1 surface. I agree with this view in engineering, but can you provide a proof from the principle level... or at least an explanation?"

When he was first asked the question, Peng Juexian was still a little unsure.

Because time was too tight, there were some details in the proof given by Chang Haonan that even he had not fully understood.

But the other party happened to ask a part that did not require mathematical explanation, which was so coincidental that people thought that this Russian professor was a long-arranged agent.

"Mr. Safkin, please look at this schematic diagram of the collapse of the silver tooth reconstructed by the soft X-ray array. A, B, and C are the radiation profiles before, during, and after the collapse, respectively."

Peng Juexian held a laser pen and pointed it at the upper right corner of the screen:

"It is not difficult to see that there is a clockwise rotating hot core inside the plasma, and a cold magnetic island on the edge. Point x has already begun to release energy before the collapse, and the hot core still exists in the c diagram after the collapse, indicating that the plasma center safety factor q0 is still less than 1 until the collapse, so it is impossible to accurately measure the position of the q=1 surface before the collapse occurs..."

"..."

Originally, everyone at the scene was still skeptical about the contents of Peng Juexian's report.

But such fluent performance is undoubtedly a big plus.

Yasuhiro Morita realized that the situation could not be allowed to continue like this.

"Everyone, everyone..."

While Safkin was writing, he quickly moved to the microphone and used the speaker to barely cover the noise:

"Given that the report given by the Huaxia representative is highly subversive and controversial, and it is difficult to judge whether it is correct in a short period of time, I propose to temporarily adjourn the meeting and set aside an additional two to three days to discuss and understand this new theoretical model..."

Peng Juexian had not returned to his seat yet. After hearing this, he lowered his head and sneered.

Yasuhiro Morita's mention of "controversy" is obviously a private statement that attempts to change the concept.

But he did not say anything to correct him, but let the other party continue performing.

Because everything was almost exactly as he expected.

In fact, the cooperation between ITER and JAEA is still in the negotiation stage.

Although all the details have been basically finalized, only the final touch is left.

But as long as it has not been signed, it has no formal legal effect.

Hull's report was generally academic in style and did not mention much about the details of the preparations for cooperation with Japan.

Therefore, this part of the content was originally scheduled to be released by Yasuhiro Morita, who was the third person to take the stage.

Now that the waters have been muddied by himself, Morita's report cannot be completed as scheduled. Forcing himself to take office will only make the situation more complicated and may even bring humiliation upon himself, so he will inevitably request a recess to gain a buffer window.

But time is fair to everyone.

The Chinese delegation can also use these two to three days.

Moreover, because it is done intentionally, it can be utilized more fully.

So Peng Juexian immediately expressed his position:

"I agree with Mr. Morita's suggestion and am willing to provide the original report and the raw data mentioned therein to the meeting in advance for all colleagues to identify and understand."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to take care of the host's emotions:

"The ToreSupra device itself provides valuable experience and data for human fusion research. Its upgrade is the top priority for ITER's transition from the paper research stage to the engineering design stage. I hope you can treat related issues with a rigorous attitude and do your best to ensure that the plan schedule is advanced as expected..."

"..."

Robert Hull was a little embarrassed and annoyed at being singled out, but after hearing Peng Juexian's flattery, he felt much better.

On second thought, I realized that the theory that was refuted was not proposed by me, so there is no reason to feel ashamed.

On the contrary, if we take advantage of our proximity to the water and propose a revision plan first, wouldn't we be able to suppress others?

Of course, the premise of all this is.

The new theory proposed by the Chinese is correct.

Thinking of this, he glanced thoughtfully at Peng Juexian who was packing up his things behind the podium.

"Since everyone has no objection to this, I declare this meeting adjourned."

Hull tapped the microphone and made a decisive decision:

"The specific resumption time will be determined based on the opinions of all delegations, and an official notice will be released on the ITER official website at that time..."
