9月5日,“好评中国·逐梦新程” 网络主题活动评论员一行走进合肥未来大科学城,重点探访聚变堆主机关键系统综合研究设施CRAFT “夸父”。调研团队实地了解装置多项核心子系统研制验收成果,近距离感受我国可控核聚变工程领域的硬核科研实力,一窥未来清洁能源的发展图景。

神话照进现实,聚变探索锚定全新坐标。夸父逐日,是根植于华夏文脉的古老浪漫想象,承载着人类对光明与不竭能量的永恒向往。如今,这份跨越千年的憧憬,正在合肥的大科学园区里落地生根,转化为实打实的科技突破。合肥未来大科学城这里的聚变堆主机关键系统综合研究设施“夸父”(CRAFT),是合肥综合性国家科学中心首个落地的大科学装置,也是未来“人造太阳”的重要组成部分。从神话里的逐日追梦,到科技中的就地造日,中国核聚变事业的进阶之路,是我国前沿科技自立自强的生动缩影……通过观察的“镜头”,也让大众清晰看见,我国可控核聚变事业早已告别纯粹的理论探索,迈入工程化、体系化的攻坚新阶段。

硬核装置落地,筑牢聚变研究核心根基。科技突破的底气,源自扎实的基础设施布局。园区内的“夸父”设施,是合肥综合性国家科学中心首个落地的大科学装置,担当着未来“人造太阳”研发的核心载体。园区陈列的八分之一真空室、总体安装实验平台,直观展现出聚变堆主机研发的精密工艺与工程实力。与之配套的全超导托卡马克核聚变实验装置模型、紧凑型聚变能实验装置园区沙盘,构建起多层次、全链条的研发体系,覆盖实验模拟、工程搭建、整体布局的各个环节,补齐了我国聚变工程验证的关键短板。

科研迭代升级,实现从追赶到领跑的跨越。核聚变被视作人类终极清洁能源,能够模拟太阳能量生成机制,拥有清洁、高效、储量充沛的独特优势,是破解全球能源危机、助力绿色发展的关键路径。早年,我国聚变研究多以跟随探索为主,如今依托合肥系列大科学装置的集群优势,已经形成自主可控的研发体系。从基础实验装置迭代,到“夸父”大型工程设施落地,再到全新实验装置的规划布局……我国聚变研究,已然形成梯次递进、协同联动的发展格局,在全球前沿科研赛道中站稳核心位置。

科创赋能发展,激活未来能源新动能。大科学装置的价值,从来不局限于单一科研领域的突破,更能带动产业、技术、人才的全方位升级。合肥聚变设施集群的持续完善,不仅推动核聚变核心技术、关键零部件的自主攻关,还能牵引上下游产业链集聚发展,为新能源、高端制造、新材料等领域提供技术支撑。古老的“夸父逐日”雕塑伫立园区,既是文化符号的延续,更是中国科研人坚守探索、逐光而行的精神缩影。

以科创之力书写新时代逐日答卷。依托持续完善的大科学装置体系、循序渐进的科研攻坚节奏、厚积薄发的科创实力,我国正稳步推进聚变能从实验探索走向工程应用。未来,这片科研沃土将持续输出创新成果,以硬核科技赋能绿色低碳发展,为全球清洁能源变革贡献中国力量。
