Great Country Academician

In the quaint small building, Xu Chuan chatted with the old man for over an hour.

In addition to the "Nuclear Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion of Electric Energy Project", the most important thing is about controllable nuclear fusion.

According to the original plan, it is set that the second controllable nuclear fusion project will be officially launched in 2020.

This can be regarded as a part of the time reserved to prevent the nuclear waste power generation project from being delayed due to unexpected circumstances. After all, it is normal for such a large-scale project to encounter problems.

However, the higher-ups did not expect that this big project would go so smoothly. Although there were some problems encountered in the middle, they were quickly resolved by Xu Chuan.

Now that the nuclear energy project is successfully completed, the second half of the year will be hollow.

Although Xu Chuan has his own research and arrangements, the country also needs a certain amount of time to digest and absorb the results brought about by the nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration conversion project.

But for a big country like Huaguo, there are not many other things, but there are many people.

As long as the resources are sufficient, the talents in hand are enough to start multiple super projects at the same time.

Xu Chuan didn't want to waste half a year's time, so he proposed to the old man the idea of ​​starting the controllable nuclear fusion project in advance during this conversation.

Compared with the nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration conversion project, the controllable nuclear fusion project is the real super project.

Just the preparatory work in the early stage may not be completed in a year or two.

It is not impossible to start controllable nuclear fusion ahead of schedule in the second half of the year. The early recruitment, location selection, related materials and company bidding can be handed over to other people.

And after he completes the research on the mathematical model of inert neutrinos and plasma turbulence in the second half of the year, he can naturally start to conquer this super project next year.

Compared with the fully mature technology of nuclear waste reuse, controlled nuclear fusion is a new challenge to unknown areas.

There are too many problems to be solved, whether it is the self-sustainability of tritium, the control of the ultra-high temperature plasma in the chamber, or the thermal radiation loss of materials, the recovery of reactor fusion energy, etc., are all world-class problems .

Xu Chuan doesn't know whether he can lead the team to successfully conquer this peak. Maybe it will take five, ten, twenty, or even a lifetime.

But he can't and won't give up, because this is one of his dreams for two lifetimes.

He wants to see the spark of controllable nuclear fusion light up on this land of China, even if he pays his life for it, he is willing to do so.

After the commendation meeting, Xu Chuan officially resigned from his position as the general manager of the 'Nuclear Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electric Energy Project'.

Before the official notification of the controllable nuclear fusion project's project approval notification came down, he was fine.

Compared with the previous nuclear energy beta radiation energy accumulation conversion project, the establishment and follow-up of the controllable nuclear fusion project need not be so anxious.

After all, this kind of super project involves too many aspects, and each aspect requires coordination and preparation.

However, after returning, Xu Chuan did not relax. It is already mid-August, and the research on plasma turbulence has not been completed, so he needs to continue to work hard.

In addition, the first collision experiment of inert neutrinos at the European Atomic Energy Center has ended, and the relevant data is being processed.

Because he was unable to go abroad, Xu Chuan could only continue to apply for the original data for analysis through Hua Guo, a CERN member state.

Fortunately, many of the council members at CERN are his acquaintances, such as Edward Witten, David Gross, and he is the discoverer of the inertial neutrino, so the relevant data can be easily obtained .

As for the preliminary analysis of raw data, it is still handled by NTU.

But to Xu Chuan's surprise, a few days after the original data was applied for, people from Shanghai Jiaotong University approached him and asked him to participate in the data analysis work.

"Professor Xu, our Jiaotong University team has sufficient experience in the field of high-energy physics. It has participated in the analysis of the experimental data of tetraquark particles. It is also one of the best physics teams in China. With our help, the data analysis of inert neutrinos It will definitely save a lot of time.”

Nantah University, in Xu Chuan's office, a middle-aged man looked at Xu Chuan expectantly, with a flattering smile on his face.

Seeing the dean of Jiaotong University Academy of Sciences, Xu Chuan also had a headache.

To be honest, Dean Liu is right. Jiaotong University is indeed very good in the field of high-energy physics. Their team often participates in experiments at CERN and has sufficient experience.

With the team from Jiaotong University joining, the data analysis work of inertial neutrinos can indeed be accelerated a lot. This proposal really made him a little excited.

It is good to be able to complete the analysis of raw data a lot of time in advance.

It's just that he has promised Nantah University to hand over this batch of raw data to Nantah University.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said, "I'm afraid I can't promise you the analysis of the original data of the collision. A few days ago, I have already handed over this work to Nanjing University. If you came a few days earlier, it would be better You can study with Nantah University."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly said: "It's okay, as long as you don't mind, leave the rest to me."

The research and discovery of inert neutrinos is definitely a heavyweight achievement in the physics world, and it is related to dark matter and dark energy.

Although the professor Xu in front of him is the main discoverer, if he can participate in the data analysis work, it will be an honor to be famous in history.

Just like when Jiaotong University participated in the discovery and analysis of tetraquark particles in 2018, for Jiaotong University, this is a matter of increasing the school's academic atmosphere and international reputation.

After seeing off the dean of the Jiaotong University Academy of Sciences, Xu Chuan shook his head and refocused his attention on the study of plasma turbulence.

Before the commendation meeting for the nuclear energy project, he already had a clear idea, and following this idea, he has now developed a considerable distance.

He had a premonition that he was about to bridge the microscopic mathematical bridge between the average field of plasma turbulence and the non-pulsating field.

If successful, then the plasma model in the controllable fusion reactor chamber can be used as a theoretical basis to make a purely mathematical model.

With hope, Xu Chuan concentrated all his energy on the last difficulty.

Time passed day by day, and the calendar turned a new page.

In September, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafts along the breeze on the campus of Nantah University, making people feel refreshed.

In the office, Xu Chuan stared intently at the manuscript paper on the table, writing and drawing on the paper with the pen in his hand. From time to time, he would raise his head and slide the mouse to search for something he needed on the computer.

"Professor, do you want to have lunch together?"

The whole morning passed in the blink of an eye. In the office, after looking at her watch, Amelia put down the pen in her hand, stood up and stretched, looking at the mentor who was busy calculating something by the window.

She didn't know what the tutor was talking about, and she went over to read it but couldn't understand it. When she asked her tutor once, she only said that she was studying NS equations, but she didn't go into details.

However, this situation has been going on for a while, and it is convenient for her and Senior Brother Gu Bing.

If you encounter any problems academically, you don't need to accumulate time and find someone everywhere.

On the other side, Xu Chuan shook his head slightly and replied, "Go first, I'll go later."

"That's okay, pay attention to the time, the restaurant will run out of food if you go late."

Amelia shrugged. She has been able to speak Chinese quite well in the year since she came to Huaguo.

Satisfied and regretful, there are indeed a lot of delicacies here. She ate a lot of delicious food when she traveled during the holidays, but the food in the school cafeteria was really mediocre, not even as delicious as the ones she made herself.

Xu Chuan didn't care about his primary school student's thoughts. At this moment, all his attention was focused on the pen in his hand.

And the line-by-line calculations were smoothly presented on the white manuscript paper, and then began to shrink.

". Calculate X1(σω, σb) = 1, and form a phase transition boundary on the (σω, σb) plane, which divides the plane into "chaos" and "ordered" phases. In the "chaos" phase, with With the propagation of the microfluidic unit in the turbulent flow, two turbulent microfluidic units will be gradually pulled away”

"To sum up, the proper parameter initialization should make the value of x be located on the critical line of the phase transition, which can establish the transition between the mean field and the non-pulsating field in the minimized microfluidic unit, and X1 acts as a random disturbance in the layer-to-layer propagation process scaling factor in .

After the last stroke, Xu Chuan finally heaved a sigh of relief and put down the black ballpoint pen in his hand.

"Finally done!"

Staring at the formula on the manuscript paper, he also had a trace of satisfaction on his face.

After spending more than a month, he finally built a bridge across the entire abyss between the order of the average field and the disorder of the non-pulsating field in the microscopic state.

It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of this achievement is not weaker than that of the NS equation staged achievements he made before, and even, to some extent, it is more important.

Because it is the key to modeling the turbulent flow of ultra-high temperature plasma in a controllable fusion chamber.

Once the mathematical foundation is settled, all that remains is to build a mathematical model for it.

Compared with the theoretical basis, this is not very difficult, at least for him.

After tidying up the manuscript paper on the table, Xu Chuan just wanted to turn on the computer and start working when his stomach growled.

"Forget it, let's have lunch first."

Stuffing the manuscript paper into the drawer, Xu Chuan rubbed his belly and got up to go to the cafeteria. Although he sat still all morning, the energy consumed by mental activities was no worse than physical activities, or even worse.

In the restaurant, Xu Chuan picked out something to eat casually with a plate in his hand, and was just about to find a place to sit down when he heard a voice.

"This way, Xu Chuan."

The familiar voice made Xu Chuan look around curiously, and then he saw Chen Zhengping and Yu Yongwang sitting in the corner, and the dean of the School of Physics at Jiaotong University.

Walking over with the dinner plate, he greeted the three with a smile: "Mentor, Dean Yu, Dean Liu"

"We're almost finished eating, you just came here. You don't eat actively." Looking at the food on Xu Chuan's plate, Chen Zhengping shook his head and said.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I just had some ideas when I was researching, so it was a bit late."

On the side, Yu Yongwang, the dean of NTU Institute of Physics, said with a smile: "Research is important, but people are like iron rice and steel. Only by ensuring nutrition can we keep up with research."

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile, put down the plate and sat down. He wasn't too reserved either, chatting with the three of them while eating.

"Professor Xu, since we met again by fate, Academician Chen and Dean Yu are also here now, let's discuss the analysis of the raw data passed over from CERN together?" After chatting for a while, across the dining table The dean of Jiaotong University, Liu Yanghui, smiled and looked at Xu Chuan and asked.

Regarding the work of data analysis, he first approached Xu Chuan, but Xu Chuan did not agree, but he would not give up easily, and then found Yu Yongwang, the dean of Nantah University School of Physics, to make a breakthrough from Nantah University.

After Yu Yongwang encountered a setback, he found Xu Chuan's mentor, Chen Zhengping, hoping to join in the data analysis work.

Compared with the previous two rejections, this time there seems to be some hope.

Especially when it was given that "this is Professor Xu's discovery, CERN is also doing research, we have to complete the data analysis work as soon as possible, and we can't let people from other countries take the lead", Professor Xu's mentor, Academician Chen, was obviously shaken .

After seeing hope, he spent a long time in Chen Zhengping's office, and finally got through the academician Chen's ideological work, and agreed to help him communicate with Dean Yu, and only then did the three of them meet in the cafeteria. dinner.

As for Chen Zhengping, he also wanted to refuse the request from Jiaotong University at first.

After all, this is the glory of Nanjing University. Why should you let Jiaotong University come to share a piece of the pie? It is not that Nanjing University does not have a team that can do data analysis.

But Liu Yanghui couldn't help nagging and persuading him in his office, and he really listened to it later.

The inert neutrino was discovered by his student, and now CERN is doing its best to verify it. If we can complete the analysis of the original data before other teams at CERN, and find enough clues to increase the confidence in the existence of the inert neutrino, So the help to Xu Chuan is quite great.

After all, inert neutrinos are related to dark matter and dark energy. If you can help him, a student, complete his work ahead of schedule and let him monopolize all his discoveries, it can be said to be another Nobel Prize-level achievement.

Even if the Nobel Prize may not be awarded to him because of this, there is no need for those foreign teams to step in and share some honors in the discovery work, isn't it?

It’s just that Nantah University is indeed capable of completing the analysis of these raw data, but there is no guarantee in terms of time. After all, the manpower is here and there is a limit.

If there is a physics team from Jiaotong University to help, it can indeed shorten a lot of time.

With this in mind, Chen Zhengping agreed to help communicate with Yu Yongwang.
