Is this ‘artificial sun’ really reliable?黄刚: It is. The results were achieved on a fusion experimental device at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei, which can now operate stably at extremely high temperatures for long periods.赵强: Over one hundred million degrees sounds terrifying. How can equipment withstand such heat?黄刚: The key is magnetic confinement technology. Strong magnetic fields ‘hold’ the high-temperature plasma in midair so it doesn’t touch the device walls.赵强: So how far are we from actually generating electricity? From a commercial perspective, isn’t this too slow?黄刚: It is slow, but this is fundamental energy technology. It’s clean, safe, and has almost unlimited fuel, so it’s worth long-term investment.赵强: I also noticed that many countries are involved in this project. It’s not being done alone.黄刚: That’s right. Nuclear fusion is extremely complex and requires global cooperation. If one generation can’t finish it, the next will continue.赵强: So it seems the artificial sun isn’t about speed, but about patience.黄刚: Exactly. What truly lights up the future is never a shortcut.
