Chapter 559: Issues with the Commercialization of Controlled Nuclear Fusion
At Luo Wenkun's current level, wealth is just a number and does not have much meaning.
What Luo Wenkun hopes to do is to rely on his own strength to achieve greater ambitions in life.
After listening to Luo Wenkun's story, Xu You asked:
"Wenkun, what about the second direction?"
"The second is the medical field. I plan to set up a branch of Fulong Medical in the near future to support research in various medical fields."
After hearing Luo Wenkun's proposal, Xu You was a little surprised.
"Wenkun, why did you think of the medical field?"
Medical care and technology can be said to be two different fields, and there have been few companies that have taken into account both fields at the same time.
"In fact, one of my dreams when I was young was to become a doctor, to be able to bring people back to health and heal the wounded. This dream did not last too long, because I might not be able to bear the hardship and loneliness of being a doctor. But when I reached this level now, I felt that I could really start to expand into the medical field. Today's medical care is closely related to technology, and these achievements of Fulong Technology are entirely possible to be used in various medical fields."
Upon hearing this, Xu You nodded, indicating that he also agreed with Luo Wenkun's idea.
Xu You had not been involved in much medical research before, and he had only conducted research on artificial hearts when Wang Xiangwu was in danger of heart failure.
Xu You believes that in the future medical field, technologies including chips, robots, etc. will play a vital role.
After dinner, Luo Wenkun did not go back with Xu You and Lin Shi, but went back to the company to handle work.
Xu You continued to discuss the experimental issues from the morning with Lin Shi.

After setting a record for a single-day decline, the US dollar did not stop its downward trend and the overall price continued to fall.
The performance of the US dollar has thwarted Sam's previous plan to reap the world's wealth by raising interest rates and printing money.
Without sufficient funds, restarting the Apollo project became a fantasy.
On the other hand, without financial support, the research work of the International Thermonuclear Organization came to a standstill.
Rabbit has independently completed the research on the Dongri No. 2 controlled nuclear fusion project, so naturally he will not put too much energy into this organization that may disband at any time.
Without the leading role played by the rabbit, it is naturally unrealistic to expect the remaining countries to unite and conduct research on related work.
The International Thermonuclear Organization is almost dead in name only.
In this situation, Sam's reporter looked for an opportunity to ask the sharp question.
"After measurement and calculation, the Q value of the first discharge experiment of the Dongri-2 controlled nuclear fusion device has exceeded 10. Will this project be shared with other countries participating in international thermonuclear fusion research as a result of international thermonuclear fusion?"
We have a strong answer to this question.
“Since the establishment of the Dongri series of projects, we have made it clear that the Dongri series of projects is an independent project and has nothing to do with the international thermonuclear fusion project. But we welcome all cooperation related to the Dongri series of projects and hope that people all over the world can enjoy this achievement.”
The meaning of this answer is very clear, because these are two completely unrelated projects, so those Western countries that want to get the Dongri-2 technology for free should give up this idea as soon as possible.
However, our original intention in studying this project was not to enjoy the benefits brought by this project ourselves, but to apply it to the whole world and benefit people all over the world.
Of course, we welcome applications for cooperation from all over the world, but it does not mean that we will definitely cooperate with everyone.
If it is a poisonous snake with ill intentions towards the farmer, the farmer cannot always be kind.
After the great success of the Dongri-2 discharge experiment, the promotion of controlled nuclear fusion encountered a new problem.
That is the development of new energy and the blow to traditional energy.
Among them, those countries that rely on oil extraction and sales as their main source of income are the most affected.
Once controlled nuclear fusion power generation becomes popular, the prices of traditional energy sources such as oil will undoubtedly be hit hard.
These once wealthy countries may suffer major impacts due to this energy revolution.
In order to maintain a good situation and prevent some unstable situations from occurring, we promise to give priority to cooperation with them after the commercialization of controlled nuclear fusion and provide assistance in some scientific and technological projects.
They have always been very tough on Sam, and they are friends we must cooperate with and help.
In addition, the commercialization and popularization of controlled nuclear fusion will take time. In the short term, it will definitely not affect the prices of traditional energy such as oil.
When controlled nuclear fusion is truly commercialized, electricity prices will be greatly reduced. By that time, people all over the world will live a better life.

After a period of research, there has been some progress in the study of deuterium extraction.
However, this problem has not been completely solved because the construction of the simulation model has not achieved satisfactory accuracy.
In the evening, after returning to their house in the Jijing University staff quarters, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao sat side by side.
"Have you encountered any new problems?" Lu Zhiyao asked.
Every time Xu You encountered a problem, Lu Zhiyao could always keenly discover it even if Xu You didn't say it.
"Well, we did encounter some problems. The concentration of deuterium purification is still not very satisfactory."
Xu You told Lu Zhiyao the truth about the problems he encountered and did not hide anything from her.
Lu Zhiyao is now considered a semi-expert in the field of physics. Although she doesn't know the details of some of the professional issues that Xu You talked about, she can at least understand them.
"I see. Although there is no problem with power generation, the problem with raw materials has not been completely solved."
"Yes, the experiment has been successful, but commercialization is not something that can be achieved immediately."
Lu Zhiyao immediately understood the key points of what Xu You said, but she didn't have any solution to the problem.
After all, even experts like Xu You and Lin Shi have not been able to solve these problems, so Lu Zhiyao certainly does not have such magical abilities.
Lu Zhiyao blinked a few times, suddenly thought of something, and said to Xu You:
"By the way, I feel like my brain power has improved recently. How about you help me test it to see if my brain power has changed?"
