Not long ago, the “Combustion Plasma” international scientific program project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was officially launched, opening multiple fusion energy experimental devices and platforms to the world. The aim is to collectively ignite the “artificial sun” and jointly explore the use of fusion energy to illuminate the future of clean energy for humans. In the 80s of the last century, China established a “three-step” development strategy for nuclear energy and continued to promote fusion research. China Huanliu 1, Dongfang Chaohuan, and China Circulation 3, known as the next-generation “artificial sun,” have been built one after another, breaking through the “200 million degrees” of ion and electron temperatures, marking that China's exploration of fusion energy is moving in an orderly manner from basic research to engineering practice. The “path of fusion” is not only a path of scientific exploration, but also a path of common human struggle to pursue clean energy. The dream of an “artificial sun” is being reflected in reality. From “chasing light” to “making light,” from “human questions” to “China's answers,” the exploration process of fusion energy has witnessed the path of scientific and technological innovation in Chinese modernization, and also reflects the common belief of mankind moving towards a sustainable future.
