Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth, the comprehensive conference room at Base 200 in Changping was already packed with technical backbones from the Z-pinch driven fusion-fission hybrid reactor project.
Except for those personnel who had to remain on duty at their posts, everyone else was present.
Wei Changgen directly conveyed the decision on the special adjustment at the meeting.
The hybrid reactor project would continue to advance, but the continuous power operation and initial net electricity output originally pressed against the two-year milestone were temporarily pushed back a bit.
The subsequent operating parameters of the experimental pile would also change from high driving power and high repetition frequency to engineering verification with low energy and low repetition frequency.
The project team would also pull some technical backbones from materials, plasma diagnostics, fuel cycles, and pulsed power systems to form a new pre-research group with the Hecheng Institute of Plasma Physics to study the deuterium–helium-3 fuel route in advance.
The people in the audience had no objections either, since everyone sitting there had signed confidentiality agreements.
As for the news a few days ago where Zhuishu's deduction resulted in the annihilation of the entire army, those who needed to know already knew.
If difficulties in materials could not be resolved and they still stubbornly pushed forward on the engineering side, that wouldn't be called tackling key problems; that would be called being foolish.
Li Dong attended this meeting from start to finish, but he didn't speak, just quietly listening.
After the meeting ended, the heads of various departments gathered around to check the roster, and personnel from the engineering planning division confirmed the transfer details of equipment and parameters one by one.
Some impatient ones were already making phone calls, notifying the people below to break down the tasks
