Chapter 638 I Have a Bad Premonition

Hearing Academician Lu's words, Lu Zhou looked at him inexplicably.

"how come?"

Academician Lu said anxiously: "Then why did you start the space shuttle!"

It turned out to be this.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou suddenly understood what Academician Lu was thinking, so he coughed lightly and explained.

"The report may have been a little off. The space shuttle is mainly small... Xingkong Technology is doing it, so I paid some money."

It was so dangerous, I almost told Xiao Ai out.

Didn't notice the pause in Lu Zhou's words, Academician Lu sighed, and continued with a heavy tone: "I don't know much about aerospace, but I have heard a few old friends from the Academy of Engineering talk about it. Although there are national policies support, but the market competitiveness of domestic private aerospace companies is still difficult to compete with international aerospace companies, at least for now, most of them are mainly focused on financing and misappropriating money.”

"I'm here to look for you this time, not because I'm worried that your research has gone astray, but because I'm worried that you've lost your way!"

"Once a scholar becomes a businessman, it is difficult to calm down and study. I have seen too many such things."

"Although this may not be for me to say, but your thoughts are too complicated. If you can calm down and study physics with one mind, your achievements may even be comparable to Newton and Einstein one day in the future. Scholars in this field. What are you doing in spaceflight now, aren’t you putting the cart before the horse!”

Lu Zhou: "But if this is the case, there will be no controllable nuclear fusion."

Hearing this sentence, Academician Lu was slightly stunned, and did not speak for a while.

Lu Zhou paused and continued.

"Theoretical science research is a very interesting thing, I have always thought so. However, science is not just a theoretical part. How to use our knowledge to change the world we are familiar with is also a very interesting thing. meaningful things."

"For example, the mass gap." After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "If my guess is correct, it will become the key to the miniaturization of controllable fusion, and this is one of the main motivations for me to choose it as a research topic one."

Miniaturization of controlled fusion!

A look of shock appeared on Academician Lu's face.

Finally, he couldn't help it.

"Is it really that simple?"

"Simplicity is impossible, but we have found a possible idea. As for whether it can be done in the end, it is too early to discuss these."

When he said this, although Lu Zhou's tone was not relaxed, there was not much heaviness on his face.

Looking at the expression on his face, Academician Lu was silent for a while, and finally said with a sigh.

"If you can really solve the problem of miniaturization of controllable fusion, at least 1.4 billion people will have to thank you."

Lu Zhou smiled lightly.

"Thank you or not is secondary."

...

Munich Germany.

As an important industrial town and cultural city in Germany, it is home to the oldest technical university in Germany, as well as the headquarters of Siemens, a world-renowned electrical industry giant.

At this moment, the downstairs of the headquarters building.

Two men in suits got off a black Mercedes. After the leader showed his ID to the security guard on duty, the two were quickly invited into the company building, and took the elevator to a lounge.

After waiting for about five minutes, a man with gray hair, ravines on his face, and rimless glasses walked into the lounge and slowly sat on the sofa opposite the two.

"Need some coffee?"

The man sitting on the right said with a serious face: "No need, it's not time for afternoon tea."

"I always thought you Americans were pretty casual about time."

The man in the suit sitting next to him coughed lightly.

"Mr. Joe Caesar, let's get down to business."

Caesar with white hair shrugged: "I've been waiting for you to speak."

The man who spoke first stretched out his right hand, "Let's get straight to the point, we are from the CIA, you can call me Horns."

He shook his right hand, and after releasing it, Caesar leaned back on the sofa.

"Then Mr. Horns from America, what can I do for you?"

Staring into Kaiser's eyes, Horns continued with a serious tone: "We found an unusual order here, involving sensitive equipment on the prohibited list, including two high-precision five-axis linkage machine tools, which may be Used to produce and process aero-engines."

Hearing this, Caesar frowned, and immediately thought of the company's recent export order to Italy.

"An abnormal order? The deposit was paid normally, and the final payment of 20 million euros was also transferred to the account. I don't think there is anything abnormal about this order."

Horns: "The problem is that we have heard some bad news, so we need you to provide the buyer's information, including the account for the payment, and the legal person registered by the company, etc."

Caesar shook his head: "This involves customer privacy, I can't tell you unless you can issue a written letter from the Ministry of Commerce—"

"This is the written document you want." Horns impatiently took a document out of his pocket and put it on the table, and said patiently, "I hope you can cooperate with our work."

Pushing his eyes on the bridge of his nose, Caesar picked up the document and glanced at it briefly, then put the document back on the table.

"Since the Ministry of Commerce has approved everything, I have nothing to say."

After a pause, Caesar looked at the secretary standing beside the sofa.

"Help me print out a copy of the relevant documents for that order."

"Yes, sir."

The man standing next to Caesar nodded and turned to leave the office.

The people in the lounge didn't have to wait long.

In about ten minutes, the secretary came back with a document that was still warm.

"This is the information you want," Caesar took the document from the secretary and threw it on the table, and continued after a pause, "The ordering party is a manufacturing company located in the province of Naples, Italy, named AI Industry, and the legal representative is An Italian named Sacchi Farbile, who produces parts for Rolls-Royce's aero-engines... At least I can't see what's wrong with this company."

Multi-axis linkage machine tool technology has always been a strictly confidential technology. Although over the years, with the breakthrough of Huaguo's high-precision industrial machine tool technology, countries have gradually removed some five-axis linkage machine tools from the banned list, but many high-precision five-axis linkage machines Axis linkage machine tools and controllers are still on the banned list.

It's almost a routine.

When Huaguo could not produce 5-axis machine tools, only 3-axis machine tools were sold in Huaguo. When Huaguo developed 5-axis machine tools, they immediately dumped 5-axis linkage machine tools, impacting the development of local high-precision machine tool companies in Huaguo. .

One of the focuses of the current negotiations on controllable fusion technology is the five-axis linkage machine tool and controller. Huaguo hopes that Europe can open up the market for industrial machine tools, or in other words, allow Huaguo companies to acquire European industrial equipment manufacturers.

However, not to mention that European countries cannot agree, even the United States, which is separated from Europe by the Atlantic Ocean, cannot agree...

Horns frowned: "AI industry?"

Caesar nodded: "Well, it's a strange name, but it's nothing. We've seen even stranger ones. And we did check their records with the Ministry of Commerce, and they do have the qualifications to import equipment."

"I'll investigate if I'm qualified," he said, and Horns stood up from the sofa, walked forward and shook hands with Caesar who got up together, "Thank you for your cooperation."

After finishing speaking, Horns let go of his hand and continued to look at the assistant who came with him.

"Get ready to go, the next stop is Naples."

The assistant hesitated.

"Now?"

Horns nodded, and looked out the window solemnly.

"Well, the sooner the better, I always have a bad feeling."
