China already has literal blueprints for deploying 10-foot tall mini-fusion reactors all over the country and providing nearly limitless, extremely safe free energy, that could last for tens of thousands of years.
I know I follow it as much as I can. They will absolutely be the nation to do it (assuming there isn't some final, impossible barrier to practical energy production).
And they will lead the 2nd industrial revolution or whatever we end up calling it. I think that's why there's so much desperation from the U.S. and the west to go to war. It's not purely because they do capitalism better then capitalists. It's because they are on the verge of this energy revolution (bye bye oil, petrodollar, hello commercial reactors in Africa and South America, mutual relationships, etc)
I've read that the current industrial revolution going on in China is actually more like the 4th industrial revolution.
Wait. Are you saying they actually have the ability to build 10-foot tall mini-fusion reactors?
China allegedly has blueprints for it, or if they don't, it's something they plan to create blueprints for in the coming years and decades.
They probably have draft proposals that are ready to go after the technology is invented. That way they're ready for a fusion breakthrough if it ever comes.
It looks increasingly like China is expecting a breakthrough in the coming years. This isn't so much science fiction, anymore.
I might be jaded from Western scientists always """expecting""" a breakthrough and it never coming, but to be fair they have to perpetually pretend they're close to a breakthrough to get more grant funding and investments. There's no interest in science for its own sake in the West.
China is clearly emerging as the leader of scientific development, though, and the political economy in China is obviously different. I'm still pessimistic about fusion, but if anyone figures it out it'll be them.
I understand being skeptical about scientific breakthroughs, but as you said, if any country can do it, it's China.
People have called many things impossible, and China proved them wrong. The CPC is literally a technocracy.
That sounds incredible! Where can I read about this?
