Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 441 Thirty Minutes

A plane landed at the airport, far from Luyang, China, on the other side of the planet, while the ark made a difficult choice.

After returning from a visit to the German Spiral 7-X Laboratory, Sheng Xianfu disembarked from the plane and did not stop. He boarded the Round Lake Avenue and went all the way to the Institute of Physical Sciences on Science Island.

Seeing Professor Sheng rushing to the Institute, he happened to be courageous in the corridor and took an unexpected look at him.

“What's the rush? ”

Professor Sheng will answer and say only one thing.

“thirty minutes. ”

Ren Yong stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what he was saying at first, but he quickly reacted. I can't believe it.

“30 minutes? Did they... really do it? ”

Professor Sheng nodded seriously.

“In fact, at first they almost failed, and the cooling effect of the water-cooled filter fell short of expectations. But a recent paper published on PRX helped them reduce the heat load on the first wall of material by improving the control program. While there may be a few seconds between 30 minutes, these minor errors can be ignored. ”

Although a star imitator is a very novel research idea, there is still controversy in academia as to whether it can actually achieve the desired effect of the theory.

Because even though the mimetics are designed to constrain plasma more easily than Marktock, the excessive thermal load caused by prolonged pulsed discharge remains an open issue in nuclear fusion engineering.

But if the Spiral 7-X could actually achieve a 30-minute long pulse discharge, perhaps this would change the overall international nuclear fusion engineering landscape.

After all, the deeper you go into the Tokmak device, the closer you feel to the ceiling. More and more people are beginning to reflect on whether or not this research approach works.

“Just because of a paper? ”

Looking at Professor Sheng, Ren Yung's face was filled with incredible words.

to the point of not underestimating theoretical work.

It's just that the speed at which this theory translates into results is a little too fast, right?!

After a while, he changed his mind and said, "Which article? I'll take a look. ”

“The latest issue of PRX, The Ark. As for the Maple Society paper, it's on the official website of the IAEA-Demo International Symposium, and it should be hung up by now, so you can read it. ”

Dropping this sentence, Professor Sheng did not stop and continued his meteorological walk upstairs.

There are only two things he needs to do now.

The first was to report to the organization on the results of the academic visit.

The second thing is to report to the organization on the importance of this talent.

Whatever the price, we have to find a way to get him back.

Others may not understand the importance of the paper, but he does.

After looking at Professor Sheng's back, Ren Yong did not stop in the corridor and turned back to his office.

Turned on his laptop and found the papers recommended by Professor Sheng in the database. After downloading them, he looked in line.

Though not entirely understood, he largely understood.

Simply put, Professor Lu set up a theoretical model for the phenomenon of plasma turbulence in star mimetics, and then the Plasma Physics Research Institute of the Maple Society reworked the control algorithm for his theoretical model, reducing particles from banded plasma that impinge on the first wall material through a more precise control scheme, thus reducing the warming of the first wall material…

After a rough reading of the paper on the screen, Ren Yong leaned against the office chair and stared at the screen and said thoughtfully.

“… does he prefer to imitate stars? ”

In fact, the Chinese State does not have no research on star imitators.

As early as the early seventies, under the influence of Americans, 585 attempts were made to design an imitator called "Lingyun”, which was limited by the conditions of the times, and the project did not go on.

After all, the Americans themselves couldn't do it anymore, changed the Star C to the Tok Mark ST, and began to learn the Soviets' technical route to the T3 device.

Later, Tokmak gradually became the mainstream choice for national research institutions, and Tokmak was eventually chosen as the technology route by the relevant domestic research units in order to concentrate limited efforts to accomplish big things and to take into account the influence of the elder brother.

Yet times are always changing: 50 years ago they were the same, 50 years later they were the same. Though Tokmak has always had good results, the most critical pulse discharge time has been bottlenecked.

After gradually realizing this problem, China is also recently restarting projects related to imitation of stars, such as the H1-Heliac imitator delivered from the National University of Australia to the University of Hua, China, and the first quasi-ring symmetrical imitator in China jointly built by Xi Jiao Jiao Da and the Japan Institute of Nuclear Fusion Science...

However, even with the reactivation of research on imitators, the mainstream choice of controlled nuclear fusion technology routes by domestic scientific research units, mainly the Chinese Academy of Sciences, remains concentrated in Tokmark.

After all, there is no such thing as a label for scientific research, and all kinds of research ideas can flourish to make it a healthy research environment.

For a scholar, it's more important than anything to keep up with his research ideas.

As for who's right and who's wrong.

It's all a matter for history to judge.

At this time, Liu Changle, who sat at his desk next to him and drank tea, glanced at his screen: “What thesis is this? How many formulas I've never seen. ”

“Professor Lu wrote,” Ren Yong laughed, "I don't understand. It's normal, I can only read the abstract. ”

“Professor Lu?” Liu Changle was slightly stunned, frowned for a while, and did not think out of the domestic plasma physics community, which big bull is Lu.

Ren Yong: “Princeton's Ark, who else could it be? ”

Upon hearing the name, Liu Changle stunned.

Of course he knows the ark.

But this person...

“He's a mathematician, and he understands fusion? ”

After listening to this, Ren Yongton enjoyed himself.

“He is the technical adviser to the PPPL Laboratory He-3 project team, and there are even rumours that he is the actual head of the project. Not to mention this paper, where he built a mathematical model for plasma turbulence. If he doesn't even have a say in this area, I'm afraid only the plasma in the reactor will have a better say. ”

Liu Changle's complexion changed.

“HE-3 atomic probe technology? ”

He may not know what the ship did, but he can't possibly not have heard of the HE-3 atomic probe technology that caused the sensation in the industry.

Needless to say, their experimental reactor on Science Island was recently designing a similar HE-3 particle launcher to observe the macro and micro parameters of the high temperature pressure plasma inside the reactor.

Theoretically, this thing works with star mimetics, and the Tokemark device works, and even in addition to nuclear fusion engineering, a lot of research involving plasma works.

Relevant papers can be downloaded in ITER's conference collection and many literature databases, which are public information and have no secrets.

Contrary to the world of public fantasy, in reality the whole nuclear fusion project can be classified, in fact, only laser ignition technology involving nuclear testing...

Looking at this colleague, Ren Yung said, “How long have you not been following academic developments? ”

Liu Changle coughed dry and turned the subject off.

“Do you think if the Chinese Academy of Sciences were to invite this great god back, we would all be driven to accompany him on the drumming of the Star Monster thing? ”

Ren Yong: “Come on, you said it was the Great God. Can anyone see our little temple? Whether or not you invite someone back, it's impossible to come to us. ”

Liu Changle frowned: “Where else can we go without coming? ”

After all, it is the "future science”. There are only a few research units in China that can handle controlled nuclear fusion. If they don't go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, do they still go to Xiyangdao to make a big deal?

The temple is smaller.

Ren Yong smiled and said: “Build another institute. It's so simple. ”
