Great Country Academician

The recruitment of scientific researchers and engineers who returned from ITER was a matter that Xu Chuan had communicated with Peng Hongxi and Gao Hongming a long time ago.

For other research institutes, these scholars who returned from ITER are actually not very well arranged due to the pressure of posts and funding.

It is okay to say that there are only a few people, but in projects like HL-2A and EAST, it is difficult to arrange for the number of people studying and researching at ITER to be more than double digits.

After all, with the withdrawal from ITER, their scientific research projects that were originally linked to ITER were basically cancelled.

And the position of the institute's own project was replaced by newcomers, which made the status of these scholars quite embarrassing.

But for Xu Chuan, these problems did not exist.

The research progress of the dawn fusion reactor is advancing so fast that the researchers recruited by Dao have been in a tense situation.

Now, after breaking through the fusion ignition of deuterium-tritium raw materials, a large number of researchers and manpower are needed to fill the vacancies of various scientific research projects.

After all, controllable nuclear fusion is a systematic super project, and all kinds of problems, large and small, need to be solved by human hands.

The researchers and engineers launched from ITER couldn't be more suitable.

On the one hand, they themselves are researching controllable nuclear fusion, and their positions are suitable.

On the other hand, when they were in ITER, these researchers often communicated with scholars from other countries, and had strong theories and ideas about some details and directions of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Xu Chuan is confident in controlling the overall development and route of controllable nuclear fusion. He believes that ITER is inferior to him in this regard.

But when it comes to some details related to specific facts, such as "how to deal with the helium ash in the reactor chamber", such as "tritium extraction in the breeding envelope", etc., ITER must have studied more in-depth than him.

With the help of these researchers and engineers who returned from ITER, the solution to these problems is much faster than relying on the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base to fight alone.

Of course, before accepting these people, there must be an investigation.

Some people who originally relied on related households to get in to mix their qualifications did not have much ability; some may have not so clean backgrounds. These things need to be checked clearly.

Because I have to be cautious, the fusion device is the key now, and I believe that other countries will covet the current results.

Various activities such as spying, infiltration, etc. to explore information, obtain data, and steal technology will definitely be stronger than before.

If any of these people who returned from ITER were bribed, it may cause extremely heavy losses.

In the Jinling and Qixia controllable nuclear fusion engineering bases.

As the new year approaches, the dawn fusion device has completed relevant maintenance and restarted again.

Engineers and programmers worked overtime to make relevant adjustments to the optimization scheme generated during the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction.

This time when dawn restarted, Xu Chuan no longer commanded in the main control room.

After the experiment, he just needs to get the relevant data.

Taking advantage of the time now, he needs to interview a few researchers who came back from ITER.

Of course, it is not so much an interview as it is a consultation to understand some problems.

Although he came back from rebirth, he has a general understanding of the progress of the development of controllable nuclear fusion in the world, but when it comes to certain research institutes, the development of a certain technology is not very clear.

And these researchers and engineers who came back from ITER are enough to help him make up for the shortcomings in this area, let him understand the advantages and disadvantages of the dawn led by him, and the experimental institutions of other countries, or how big the gap is. wait.

"Academician Xu, someone brought it here for you."

In the office, Gao Hongming, who was in charge of daily affairs, opened the door and walked in with two people.

The two are the researchers from EAST, Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu, who are following behind with nervous expressions.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Xu Chuan put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and thanked him.

Gao Hongming stepped forward with a smile, put the information in his hand on the table, and said, "Hey, this is my job, thank you for anything, don't worry about it."

After a pause, he continued, "I won't bother you for now."

With that said, he turned and left the office.

On the opposite side, Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu looked nervously at Xu Chuan who was sitting behind the desk. There was nervousness and anticipation in their eyes, and even the excitement of star fans seeing their idols.

Xu Chuan picked up the information and said to the two with a smile, "Sit down first, don't be nervous. I'm here to ask you about something."

Hearing this, the two of them nodded nervously, their buttocks not touching half of the chair.

While flipping through the materials, Xu Chuan asked, "Did the two of you study abroad and visit at the Planck Institute for Plasma Research?"

Wu Pingle nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, when I went to ITER to communicate, I was arranged to visit the Planck Institute of Plasma. I studied there for three years."

"I read in your information that the main direction of studying abroad is the research and study of water-cooled divertors, right?"

"Yes." Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu nodded at the same time.

Putting down the information in his hand, Xu Chuan thought for a while and asked, "If it's convenient, can the two of you talk to me about the development of Planck? Some designs and theories about water-cooled divertors."

The dawn fusion device was transformed from the ASDEX device. When it was traded at the beginning, it was also traded with the water-cooled divertor technology on ASDEX.

However, compared to the latest water-cooled divertor on the Helix 7X, the water-cooled divertor technology on the ASDEX is almost an antique.

With the help of the wave of people who came back from ITER, he thought about re-optimizing the design of the water-cooled divertor on the dawn device.

If the magnetic surface tearing problem and the neutron radiation problem of the first wall can be solved, the construction of the demonstration reactor project also needs to start.

Compared with the experimental reactor, the demonstration reactor has higher requirements for various accessories.

Where it can be optimized, it must be the best.

Hearing the person in front of him ask about the water-cooled divertor, Wu Pingle quickly replied: "Of course there is no problem."

After sorting out his thoughts and organizing his language, he said again: "When I left Helix 7X a year ago, they were researching quasi-circular symmetric magnetic field configuration water-cooled divertors. Scheme of introducing particle flow and heat flow into the divertor"

"By eliminating heat energy and impurities generated by fusion reactions."

Behind the desk, Xu Chuan listened carefully to the report of the researcher Wu Pingle.

The water-cooled divertor is one of the key components of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor. The only one that can achieve the limit on this is the Planck Institute of Plasma.

Although it is impossible for those who rely on these visits to study abroad to really advance the water-cooled divertor on the Dawn to the same level as that used on the Helix 7X.

But at least, compared with the old supporting equipment on the ASDEX device, it should be able to improve a lot of performance.

As for Helix 7X being a stellarator, he is researching a tokamak device. The problem that the water-cooled divertor has different shapes on the two routes is actually nothing.

After all, both are based on the magnetic confinement route. There are differences, but not so different that the principles are different.

These engineers and researchers should be able to optimize and adjust the original water-cooled divertor on the Helix 7X and Xiaoxiao.

After listening to Wu Pingle's understanding and introduction of the Spiral Stone Laboratory, Xu Chuan asked some other questions.

On the side, colleague Zhou Xu also helped to add some.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan picked up a pen and ticked the information of the two, then looked at the two with a smile, and asked, "You should know that the dawn fusion device is from the original Planck Institute of Plasma Research. It was rebuilt from the ASDEX device purchased at the same time, and there is also a set of relatively old water-cooled divertor equipment on it.”

"If you are interested, here I invite two of you to join the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project. The related workshop is to enter the water-cooled divertor research group, responsible for optimizing and resetting the water-cooled divertor with research."

"As for the salary, if the two of you are interested in accepting the invitation, someone will come to negotiate with you later. It should not be lower than your standard in East."

"Interested in staying?"

Hearing Xu Chuan's invitation, Wu Pingle's heart almost jumped out of excitement.

"Of course, I would!"

Having the opportunity to join Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion engineering team, working under the leadership of this boss, is probably the dream of all researchers in the field of controllable nuclear fusion in China.

And a long time ago, he heard that the operation method here is very different from other research institutes.

Working here does not depend on qualifications, or in other words, does not use traditional methods such as SCI papers and assessments as standards.

What this boss looks at is your scientific research ability. As long as you have an idea and the theory is feasible, you will have the opportunity to obtain an independent experiment.

For a scientific researcher, what attracts them the most?

It's not salary, nor benefits. What attracts a real scientific researcher most is the ability to have an independent laboratory and be able to lead experiments of his own ideas!

After all, I have embarked on the road of scientific research, and I still have dreams.

Looking at the two excited faces, Xu Chuan smiled.

Now the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project is indeed quite attractive, not only the benefits here are relatively good, but also the background of this project, even if everyone is dependent on the country, this place is far from other research institutions in China can be compared.

After all, he is sitting here.

Of course, it is impossible to work here without working hard.

No matter how awesome a scholar, no matter how talented a genius, enters here, unless he can surpass him, he is still a screw turning for the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Doing research here, it is common to live in the research institute 24 hours a day, and sometimes even sleep directly in the laboratory. After all, there are some key experiments that require several hours of testing or experiment time, in order to ensure that they are not missed Data, it is also normal to lay the floor in the laboratory.

But it is precisely because everyone is a screw, but there is a chance to stand out.

As long as you can express yourself, you will have the opportunity to obtain independent research opportunities, which is a working environment that all scientific researchers dream of.
