Great Country Academician

The EAST device broke the world record, set a running time of 450 seconds, and even broke the record of the stellarator which has unique advantages in operation control. This is definitely something worth celebrating for the development of controllable nuclear fusion in Huaguo. good thing.

Apart from other things, Xu Chuan, who saw the news on the Internet, was also sincerely happy for the country and those researchers.

Their efforts have paid off.

If he had not been reborn, EAST would indeed lead Huaguo along the path of controllable nuclear fusion along the historical track, occupying a place in the field of controllable nuclear fusion in the world.

Of course, no one knows whether the controllable nuclear fusion technology can be truly realized in the end.

Including Xu Chuan himself, even if he has more than ten or twenty years of experience in the future, even if he has embarked on a new path in mathematics and physics, he doesn't know whether he can really achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

After all, this road is really too difficult.

After looking through the news, Xu Chuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the reporter of "Nuclear Industry Times" interviewing Chen Mingji.

2.5 billion bought a second-hand equipment, the young people are overjoyed and unsteady, the mathematician directs the nuclear physics project, and wastes national resources.

And if he concentrates the 2.5 billion on EAST, he is sure to control it for at least half an hour or even longer.

Although the content of the interview published in the media is relatively normal, the core idea and some rhythms can basically be seen by anyone who understands it.

Throughout the interview, aside from the information introducing the results of EAST, the rest almost all highlight these core ideas, and use some clever language to label him, saying that he is an outsider who guides experts and affects the country’s development of controllable nuclear fusion. career or something.

It has to be said that with the help of EAST's success in achieving 450 seconds, this matter has indeed caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet.

Some people who eat melons naturally began to discuss it.

[Two and a half billion, hiss~, does it cost so much money to develop controllable nuclear fusion? 】

[I don’t really understand, we already have a very advanced EAST, why spend so much money to buy a second-hand one. 】

[Just like Academician Chen said, young people, don’t have the patience to rejoice. It takes too long to make it yourself. You can buy it and assemble it directly. 】

[ε=(ο｀*))) Alas, God Chuan, it would be great if he could concentrate on doing research in mathematics. The field of nuclear fusion is a completely different field, not to say that he has won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize You can step in. 】

[You know what a fart, although the ASDEX device is second-hand, the Planck Institute of Plasma Research spent 700 to 800 million euros to build it, and there are many domestic advanced technologies on it, such as water-cooled divertors, multi-pole field coils , flywheel unit and so on. 】

[The 300 million euros can be bought back, that is the high-temperature superconducting material developed by Chuanshen in exchange for it, otherwise 300 million euros you want to eat ass, the academician Chen in this report wanted to get the domestic one before ICRF heating technology and Planck exchange technology, but no one likes him. 】

[In addition, Chuan Shen’s first choice was not to buy, but to find EAST, and wanted to use high-temperature superconducting materials in exchange for the right to use the EAST device, to do research, but the academic monopoly there did not agree, so I had to buy it. 】

[Chuanshen is still awesome, he can buy things that others can't buy. Is this the real top boss? His network is really wide. 】

[But a second-hand one cost 2.5 billion, I still think it's too expensive, can't I build it myself? 】

After simply scrolling through the news, Xu Chuan shook his head with a light smile and put down his phone.

To be honest, most of the comments from netizens who have read this interview report are in favor of Chen Mingji.

Indeed, the figure of 2.5 billion sounds exaggerated.

But in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, this number is really not big.

Without his high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology, it would be almost impossible to get the ASDEX device through a transaction of 300 million euros.

Even if you remove those water-cooled divertors and other equipment, you can't buy them.

In this interview, Academician Chen Mingji was very specific.

Avoiding those other things, focusing on magnifying the figure of 2.5 billion and second-hand equipment.

I have to say, the effect is still very good.

If it is other scholars, under such a strong rhythm, the higher-ups have to arrange people to come down and investigate.

After all, the identity of the interviewee is not low.

The real leader in the field of domestic controllable nuclear fusion, academician of the top academy of sciences, just led the Luyang controllable nuclear fusion project to make a fusion running time of 450 seconds.

Maybe one of them didn't implement it, and it was shot to death by public opinion.

But for Xu Chuan, the impact of this matter was not great.

First of all, the influence of the Nobel Prize + Philippine Prize lies here. In any case, with these two auras on his head, as long as he does not do anything treasonous and bottoms out in the country, it is basically impossible for him to have trouble.

What's more, trading ASDEX devices is just expensive in the eyes of ordinary people.

If it is simply 300 million euros that can buy back a fusion reactor of the level of the ASDEX device, the higher-ups may be overjoyed, and they will charge as much as they can.

You must know that there are many advanced technologies on the ASDEX device.

The second is that he used his own high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology as a subsidy for this transaction, which was seen by the above.

As for public opinion on the Internet, to be honest, it has almost no influence on this level.

Shaking his head, Xu Chuan ignored the matter.

However, Peng Hongxi and other researchers were very angry after seeing this news report.

In their view, this is framing!

He even brought up this matter on purpose at the meeting, wanting to ask Chen Mingji for an explanation.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "What they said is the truth. We did spend 300 million euros to buy back the ASDEX device. What's there to be angry about?"

At the conference table, Zhao Hongzhi said indignantly: "Can you buy back the ASDEX device with 300 million euros? He didn't even mention the exchange you made with your own technology!"

"If there is no high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology, how could it be possible to buy an ASDEX device for 300 million euros? I am also a scholar in the field of nuclear fusion, how could I not understand this!"

"Besides, he also slandered us in the interview, thinking that if we can successfully ignite and run for about ten seconds, it is already very good!"

"Ten seconds! We can do the acceptance and operation!"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled, and said: "It's his business whether to say it or not. His mouth is on his body. As for his speculation that our operation this time will be at most 30 seconds, the result hasn't come out yet. Let's predict it." It's nothing."

After a pause, he continued: "So if we want to go back in the face, we must try our best to do our best in this ignition operation experiment."

"Nothing is more convincing than the results. He led EAST to run for 450 seconds. I believe we can surpass this record."

"As long as the results are achieved, no one outside will dare to gossip."

"So, everyone, prepare well! In two days, our own experiment will begin!"

"yes!"

Days passed by, and time soon came to October 1st.

On this special day of reunion between the country and the family, everyone is ready for the controllable nuclear fusion project in Qixia Mountain.

Not only the engineers and scientific researchers at the research institute, but even the troops outside for daily protection have doubled their manpower. Not to mention the overnight inspection of the industrial park, there are even helicopters floating in the sky, and from time to time rapid Flying fighters.

This posture gave Xu Chuan the feeling that he had returned to the acceptance of the nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration and conversion electric energy project.

At first, Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to it. After all, although he was in charge of project security protection, he could make requests, but more of it was arranged by the troops in charge of protection.

Xu Chuan didn't react until Zheng Hai, who didn't walk around with him very much in the industrial park, was now standing by his side every step of the way.

The above is probably worried that what happened in the Fusion Research Institute of QST in Sakura Country will be repeated here. The increased manpower and Zheng Hai who followed him are all prepared to ensure the safety of the personnel.

After figuring it out, Xu Chuan was a little dumbfounded, looking at Zheng Hai who had been following him all the time, he said, "I said, why are you following me all the time today?"

Zheng Hai smiled and said, "To be on the safe side, today is a bit special."

The corner of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, and he explained: "Controllable nuclear fusion is different from uncontrollable nuclear fusion. Today's experiment has not yet reached the step of directly using deuterium-tritium raw material fusion to generate electricity. Even if there is an accident, there is nothing wrong with it." It's dangerous, don't worry."

After a pause, he continued: "I'm not used to you following me so closely."

To be honest, it is unrealistic to say that a controlled fusion reactor is completely safe.

If there is no danger at all, the matter of the Fusion Research Institute in the QST of Sakura Country will not happen.

Moreover, there are very few things that can block the powerful neutron radiation produced during deuterium-tritium fusion. If an accident occurs during deuterium-tritium fusion, the few helicopters parked at the base will not be able to escape. go out.

However, for today's experiment, he still chose helium III as the raw material, and added hydrogen to simulate the fusion process, so there is no danger.

At most, there were some problems in the control system, which caused serious damage to the first wall material of the Xiaoxiao fusion device.

As for the matter of the Fusion Research Institute in QST in Sakura Country, it is impossible to repeat it here.

Zheng Hai smiled and said, "Then I'll stay a little further away."

As he said that, he retreated a distance of one or two meters, kept at a position where he could arrive at any time, and said, "Do you think this will work?"

Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth again, and said helplessly, "You can do whatever you want."

After going through the security check of the guards, Xu Chuan came all the way to the main control room.

Peng Hongxi, Gao Hongming, Zhao Hongzhi, Han Jin and other researchers and engineers have already been waiting here.

In addition, there are two groups of media reporters who are busy in the main control room with cameras on their shoulders.

One is from Renren Daily, and the other is a reporter from Nuclear Industry Times.

There are many media who applied to enter the park for reporting and follow-up, but Xu Chuan rejected them all. If he hadn't considered the need to leave a little media for reporting and publicity, he would not have let them enter the general control.

Compared with others, he doesn't like to appear in the spotlight so much.

On the one hand, it is because of personality reasons.

On the other hand, it is because in his opinion, there is no need for such staged results to be hyped.

Of course, it looks different to others.

In addition to hard work in scientific research, proper publicity is necessary to let the outside world know what you are doing and how far you are progressing.

For example, CERN likes to hold various press conferences. Even if there is nothing to do, they still have to announce their own arrangements, or announce the phased results achieved by a certain research group, etc.

This is also related to the nature of CERN. It is a large scientific research institution jointly established by more than ten or twenty countries, and the scientific research funds come from these member states and member states.

If you don't do more press conferences and announce more about what you have worked hard to do this year, how will you get the research funding for tomorrow?

But for Xu Chuan, there was no need for this.

His scientific research funding comes from Huaguo, as long as the higher ups still support him, it is impossible to lack funds.

After briefly coping with the interviews with Renren Daily and Nuclear Industry Times, Xu Chuan came to the front of the main control room.

At 9:55 in the morning, there are still five minutes before the scheduled start of the dawn breaking device to start the first operational experiment.

The engineers who debugged the equipment have completed the final preparatory work before the experiment and completed the reports one by one.

After glancing at the time, Xu Chuan looked at the monitoring screen in the main control room.

In the monitoring screen, the behemoth quietly sleeping in the center of the core laboratory is waiting for the moment to wake up.

The inspections and preparations that should be done have already been completed, and the rest can be started at any time.

Glancing at Zhao Hongzhi who was standing aside, Xu Chuan asked repeatedly: "Have the preparations been completed?"

Zhao Hongzhi nodded with a serious expression, and said, "Confirmation is complete!"

Nodding his head, Xu Chuan took a deep breath, gave instructions, and said, "Then let's start!"

As the order came down, the personnel in the control rooms of each group quickly became busy in charge of various tasks.

External current supply!

Liquid nitrogen and liquid helium flow in!

The supercomputer and NC model are in operation!

The steady-state magnetic field increases steadily.

Through the monitoring screen in the master control, everyone can clearly see that the giant steel beast lying quietly on the ground, like an oriental dragon, has awakened!

PS: Let me report the situation. I feel better today. I didn’t go to the hospital to hang water and only took some medicine. However, I can’t improve the speed of typing. I started writing at noon until now, and I’m slowly grinding out this word. I’m too distracted. Seriously, I will write more later and see if there are two updates tomorrow. Thank you for your concern.
