Great Country Academician

Chapter 344 Limitations of the Times

In the Chuanhai Materials Laboratory, while Xu Chuan was busy testing copper-carbon-silver high-temperature superconducting materials, on the other side, in Gucheng, the second check calculation of the mathematical model of plasma turbulence was finally completed.

With the verified data and models, Gao Hongming hurried back to Jinling.

According to the staff of Gucheng National Supercomputing Center and the two modelers arranged by academician Peng Hongxi, the verification of the model was quite successful.

After adding various initial values ​​and variables to the simulation, there are almost no problems in the operation of the model except that the demand for computing power will increase.

This reply made him very excited.

Although he is not a professional in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, he still knows something to be arranged to assist in the construction of controlled nuclear fusion projects.

The control of plasma turbulence in the controllable nuclear fusion reactor chamber is an extremely difficult part of the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

At present, whether it is the experimental reactors independently researched by various countries, or the ITER project of international cooperation, there is not much progress in the control of plasma turbulence.

Even the stellarator, which has a great advantage in plasma turbulence control, has not been able to achieve long-term control.

The longest operating time of a stellarator in terms of plasma turbulence control so far is six minutes created by the stellarator 'Helix 7-X' test reactor at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany.

This is also the case when the top water-cooled divertor was replaced in late 2019.

And six minutes, converted to three hundred and sixty seconds.

This achievement is already very long compared to ITER, which took the route of the tokamak device. The longest running time of the ITER project tokamak device is only more than 100 seconds.

Relatively speaking, the later-developed stellarator "Spiralite 7-X" test reactor has been improved several times.

As for China, the current record is the "artificial sun" EAST experimental reactor in Luyang, with a running time of 101 seconds.

This data is slightly lower than the ITER project of international cooperation, but it is enough to prove Huaguo's strength in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

It’s just that six minutes and one hundred seconds are actually equally short for commercially maintaining the operation of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor for a long time.

Compared with controllable nuclear fusion, controllable nuclear fission power generation can maintain uninterrupted power generation 24 hours a year, 365 days a year.

It can only be said that there is still a long way to go in order to realize controllable nuclear fusion technology.

But now, the light of controllable nuclear fusion has shone through the darkness, and the hope of controlling the plasma turbulence is in his hands!

Can't wait, Gao Hongming wants to fly back to share the good news with that person!

He firmly believes that with this model, domestic controllable nuclear fusion will definitely lead the world. Even, under the leadership of Academician Xu, it is not impossible to successfully commercialize controllable nuclear fusion technology within ten years!

In the Chuanhai Materials Laboratory, the superconductivity test for high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite materials has gradually come to an end.

With the release of the last round of magnetic induction test data, cheers abound in the laboratory!

"22.714T, we succeeded!"

"152K, 22T high temperature and normal pressure superconducting material! It's incredible, it's really done!"

"Awesome! Boss! You are indeed the winner of double awards and academicians of Nuofi!"

"Our boss is on the move! There is no problem that he can't solve!"

Looking at the magnetic induction intensity on the screen, the researchers who assisted the test in the laboratory clenched their fists with excitement on their faces.

152K, with an average critical magnetic field strength of 22.1T, the excellent performance of copper-carbon-silver high-temperature superconducting materials breaks the boundary of the current high-temperature superconducting material industry and creates a new historical record.

Everyone looked excitedly at the young man standing in the middle of the crowd. His appearance was like a god descending. No matter how difficult the problem was, it became easy in his hands.

Among the crowd, Xu Chuan looked at the excited researchers with smiles on their faces, and said, "Everyone has worked hard overtime during this period. As a reward, I will give you three days of paid vacation! The bonuses and performance at the end of the year, There will be no less!"

"Also, I invite everyone to dinner tonight, you can choose the place!"

After the words fell, the room cheered again.

"thank you boss!"

"Boss is awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Subsequent leave! Boss, can I take this three-day vacation as an interim leave? I want to combine it with the annual leave!"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Of course."

As soon as these words came out, the cheers in the laboratory became stronger, and Xu Chuan didn't care too much. He was happy when he should be happy, and he could work when he should be working.

During this period of time, these researchers at the institute have indeed been working overtime to complete his goal. Now that the staged goal has been reached, he will not be less rewarded.

"By the way, boss, are you going to rename this material?" Song Wenbo asked Xu Chuan in the laboratory.

He also knew the boss's character.

If he doesn't mention this matter, he may be randomly assigned a name at that time, and it may even be called "copper-carbon-silver composite high-temperature superconducting material" or "152K high-temperature superconducting material".

To be honest, it would be a pity if this name were to be lost.

"A name?"

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "How about calling it 'high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material'?"

Hearing this, there was a sudden silence in the laboratory.

The corner of Song Wenbo's mouth twitched. Is there any difference between this name and 'copper-carbon-silver composite high-temperature superconducting material'?

The way his boss named him is really lazy.

If he researches this kind of material that can change the entire industry structure, he must choose a cool name or bring his own surname, right?

Seeing that several people in the laboratory suddenly stopped talking, Xu Chuan asked hesitantly: "Why, isn't this name nice? I think it's okay."

Song Wenbo: "."

Fan Pengyue: "."

other people:"."

Professor Tao Zhexuan is right, their boss is a waste of names.

But then again, in the material world, it seems that names are usually named after the main ingredients or formula of the material by default.

Because it is simpler and easier to understand.

But the name "high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material" is really unpretentious. It might as well be called a 152K high-temperature superconducting material.

At least the latter is known to be 152K high-temperature superconducting by others.

Xu Chuan didn't care about such a trivial matter as naming it.

He feels that the name of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite material is not bad. It is enough to call it TTY material without the abbreviation. What is the pursuit of such a high quality?

But how to deal with high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite materials made it difficult for him to choose.

In his eyes, 152K high-temperature superconducting materials are actually not a good thing, after all, he has seen room-temperature superconducting materials.

In contrast, the temperature of 152K has considerable limitations.

If you really want to apply it, it will be used in large-scale strong particle colliders, controllable nuclear fusion and other large scientific equipment, as well as some medical or transportation equipment.

Although the market is vast, it is not to say that it is completely disruptive.

If it is a room temperature superconducting material, it is called a truly subversive material.

So Xu Chuan has always regarded the room-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting material as a killer weapon, and the high-temperature superconducting material, for him, was originally arranged to make some money for himself.

However, Fan Pengyue's reminder made him realize another thing.

That is the limitation of the times.

Now is the early 20s, not the era when high-temperature superconducting materials are everywhere and room-temperature superconducting materials are also available more than ten years later.

At this point in time, 152K high-temperature superconducting materials are unique.

This kind of material can greatly promote the development of superconductivity in a country or even in the whole world.

For example, the controllable nuclear fusion reactor that he has been obsessed with since his rebirth, after applying this high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite material, whether it is manufacturing difficulty, or the magnetic field and magnetic confinement ability generated, will be greatly improved compared to before.

Or a large intense particle collider.

Today's largest collider in the world is CERN's LHC. The material used is niobium-titanium alloy, which can only provide a magnetic field strength of 8.3 Tesla, and the collision energy level is also limited to 13Tev level.

If it is replaced with a high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material, the critical magnetic field strength of 22T is enough to raise the energy level to above 100Tev, which is a full order of magnitude increase.

And for the development of theoretical physics, it can be said that it has wings and can directly travel to the sky.

Just when Xu Chuan was thinking about how to deal with this high-temperature superconducting material, a person who surprised him appeared in Jinling and Chuanhai Materials Research Institute.
