Chapter 389: Antitrust Investigation in the United States(2/2)

As for other things, to be honest, Xu Chuan couldn't think of anything too much.

After all, they are in China, not the United States.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan looked at Tan Yangxu and asked curiously: "What is their purpose of doing this?"

Tan Yangxu: "On the one hand, it should be that we want to ban the sale of the high-temperature superconducting materials in your hands. On the other hand, it may be related to iter."

"Iter?"

Tan Yangxu nodded and said: "Well, some time ago, Kadarashe, the headquarters of iter, held several council meetings. The United States accused us of acquiring a large amount of technology from iter, but failed to perform the corresponding obligations.

"

"They believe that we concealed our research results while receiving iter's controllable nuclear fusion related technologies, violated the agreement of iter's member states, and required us to disclose high-temperature superconducting material technology and plasma turbulence CNC models. At least in the face of iter

public."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Is there a difference between being open to iter and being open to the world? Almost all those in the world who have the ability to independently carry out controllable nuclear fusion have joined iter. Opening it to iter is equivalent to being open to iter.

It’s open to the whole world.”

Tan Yangxu nodded and said: "This is the difficulty. It is definitely impossible for us to disclose these two technologies, but if we continue to argue, the United States may unite with other member states to kick us out of iter."

"The ban on the sale and antitrust investigation of the high-temperature superconducting materials in your hands, Academician Xu, is the first step for the United States, and kicking us out of ITER may be the second step."

"As for whether there will be a third or fourth step later, it's not clear yet."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan also frowned.

Since the news brought by the higher-ups can be told to him here, its credibility can be assured.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These two pieces of news are not good news either for him or for the development of China's controllable nuclear fusion industry.

The ban on sales, the investigation of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, and the loss of Cern's orders are not too serious problems for him.

But if China is kicked out of the iter plan, it may be a bit troublesome.

It is a fact that large-scale projects such as iter, which are jointly undertaken by many international countries, have been progressing slowly. It is also a fact that countries are trying to shirk each other.

But what has to be said is that basically all member countries and participating countries benefit from this kind of large-scale international joint project.

Even if no country invests in its most advanced technology, the products it produces will not be too bad.

Especially for China, it has indeed gained a lot of benefits after joining iter over the years.

Of course, while reaping the benefits, you will also have to pay for it, including billions or tens of billions of scientific research funds, some advanced domestic technologies, etc.

If China is kicked out of iter, it means that all the previous investment will be in vain.

In addition, those orders that China is responsible for, such as icrf heating antenna orders, tungsten and molybdenum first wall material orders, etc., will also be directly taken over and replaced by other countries.

These are direct economic losses.

In addition, there are also some visits and exchanges with foreign research institutes on controllable nuclear fusion, the jobs provided by ITER to China, exchanges of scientific researchers, etc., these will also be lost.

Take CRN for example. At present, Chinese scholars participating in CRN range from graduate students to doctoral students, to university professors, etc. All in all, at least several hundred people participate every year.

These people all rely on Cern to do scientific research and produce results.

And iter is actually no exception.

If they are evacuated, these scholars will be affected.

If Xu Chuan didn't take it seriously about the previous anti-monopoly investigation and sales ban in the United States against him, he had to think about the latter one.
