On September 11, at the 2026 Pujiang Innovation Forum results conference, Zhong Wulu, chief engineer of China Fusion Energy Co., Ltd., pointed out that at present, global fusion research is accelerating towards the “combustion” stage, achieving deuterium-tritium fusion combustion plasma operation, and fusion plasma with high gain and continuous combustion, there is still a fundamental scientific threshold that needs to be crossed: it is necessary to rely on alpha particles generated by fusion to maintain plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees and enter a long-term self-sustaining, stable and controlled “combustion” state. “Only by clarifying scientific issues can engineering know where to go.” China Fusion is making every effort to promote the research and development of the world's first high-temperature superconducting strong field steady-state combustion test platform, China Circulation 4, to provide key support for answering this scientific question.
