Recently, at the construction site of the compact fusion energy experimental device (BEST) project in Luyang District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, workers have been racing against time to accelerate component development and installation. Fusion energy, often referred to as the "ultimate energy," mimics the nuclear fusion reactions inside the sun, combining light elements into heavier ones while releasing vast amounts of energy.

In May this year, the project officially began its assembly phase, drawing widespread attention due to its resemblance to the "planetary engine" from science fiction movies. The photo shows the project site. (Photo by Zhao Ming)
