Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“That's all? ”

Looking at the empty conference room, the ark was somewhat inappropriate.

When he gave his lecture at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the scene was crowded and those who could not get into the reporting hall even sat in the corridor.

And now, he counts roughly, and there are only 20 or so people in the conference room.

He also knew half of the faces.

For example, Brother Qian, Brother Liu...

“There weren't many formal researchers at our institute. I thought you were going to say something more confidential. Some researchers and research assistants who were still in their internships didn't call me.” Yang Xu standing next to the ark was a little embarrassed, so I immediately added, “Why don't I notify you now? ”

The boat stunned for a moment and laughed: "No, forget it. Sitting here is the backbone of the Institute, I just want to say a few words. ”

Insert the USB disk into the multimedia desk and open the projector.

The screen behind him lowered, and the ark cleared its voice, slightly toned, and said.

“As you may have heard, the controllable nuclear fusion project is officially settled in Jinling. ”

When the ark said that, the conference room was full of disturbances, and the researchers looked at each other and saw surprises and shocks in each other's eyes.

Although some rumours have been heard before, it is clear that the news from such hearsay is far less shocking than that confirmed in the presence of the Ark.

If someone else says they're going to do something so cutting-edge as controlled nuclear fusion, most of them will laugh.

Yet the ark is different.

Not only did he solve the dilemma of the century by solving the existential problem of the NS equation, but he also built a mathematical model for the elusive plasma turbulence with his original L-flow.

Such a godlike boss said he was going to do nuclear fusion, and even now he can't even see half the shadow of a star mimic, but the researchers sitting here accidentally believed in half of it.

It's just that the hard part about touching the head is, why is the ark talking about this here?

After all, the Institute of Computational Materials is not the Institute of Plasma Physics, but is concerned with material issues that have nothing to do with the study of controlled nuclear fusion.

However, the next words of the Ark answered the questions in everyone's mind about the issue.

“… one might ask in one's mind what this has to do with you, after all, that most of you are from chemical industries, and that you end up choosing materials as your own direction of development, even if they come from condensed physics, without any involvement in plasma physics and nuclear engineering. ”

“However, advances in materials technology are inseparable from breakthroughs in energy technology. We need a bigger magnetic field to restrain the elusive plasma, and a stronger first wall to withstand the light and heat of the fusion reaction. ”

Looking at the researchers here, the ark paused for a moment and made a point.

“In the future, our research will focus on two major directions. One is the superconducting material, which, as I said earlier, we need to strengthen our magnetic field with a material that is more engineering concise and superconducting temperature closer to room temperature. ”

“The second is the heat-resistant material, and we need a first wall that is sufficiently resistant to high temperatures to block the plasma escaping the magnetic field. ”

“At present, we have made some progress on superconducting materials. The SG-1 exhibited at the MRS fall meeting a month ago has reached 101K at superconducting transition temperatures. Of the many superconducting materials, this number is far from brilliant, but the plasticity of the graphene material itself still has great potential for us to explore. ”

On the PPT behind it, the ship listed the prerequisite technology needed to complete controlled nuclear fusion in a picture.

These are open questions and bottlenecks to controlled nuclear fusion.

There's only one more person, and it's impossible to get everything together, and the best way to do that is to split a big topic into countless smaller ones and subcontract it to the researchers below.

For his part, he chose some of the more difficult problems to solve to study.

In fact, many of the country's institutes have followed this pattern in advancing a major scientific research project.

An academician gets a large multi-million funding project, and then pulls out N sub-projects from this project that are multi-million or 100,000 funding, and gives them to professors such as Yangtze River scholars, or calves in academia, to do it. If the subject can be further subdivided, there are also Jie Qing and so on below Yangtze River scholars, and then spread it to the lower level like a pyramid...

Of course, it's just an image, but it's not an appropriate metaphor. After all, in the academic pyramids, whether Yangtze River scholars or Jie Qing, compared to researchers in general, it is a proper bull, and only one can tell the hierarchy from the other.

As for the end of the pyramid, which is undisputed, it is naturally the most painful and frustrating scientific dog in academia.

Looking back at a pair of sights in the conference room, Ark Zhuotong continued.

“Gentlemen, we are engaged in a great cause. ”

“If we succeed, our countries, our peoples and even our civilizations will benefit from it. And the value of this is not measured in any currency. ”

“I am well aware that this is not something that can be done overnight, and even every step will be full of difficulties. ”

“But I am confident that I will work with you to overcome this! ”

“May you study with the lords! ”

……

After the meeting.

With the transcript of the meeting, Liu Bo still muttered to himself: “Controlled nuclear fusion... do you think this thing is reliable? ”

Qian Zhongming: “What is unreliable? ”

Liu Bo: “Our research institute is full of only a hundred people, including undergraduate students mobilized from Jinda. There are only 20 full researchers, and have you seen the subject on the PPT? As far as manpower is concerned, I see it hanging. ”

Without answering this question, Qian Zhongming asked back: “In addition to our boss, there are several Nobel Prizes in Chinese academia. ”

Liu Bo was slightly stunned and did not understand why he asked the question.

“Yang Academician, slaughtered an old man... no words? ”

Qian Zhongming: “I'm talking about academia. ”

Liu Bo: “That's two. ”

Qian Zhongming went on to ask: "How many more are still on the front line of scientific research? ”

Senior Yang is already 95 years old. Although he has developed a number of excellent physics talents for the Republic and put forward a number of constructive opinions for the development of physics in China, he is clearly far from the front line of scientific research.

The same is true of the elderly slaughterer, who is 87 years old and is now old enough to support her. Whether or not the elderly are still not in scientific research positions, it is already somewhat unrealistic to expect the elderly to make significant research results.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bo said: "… it seems that Lu Shen is the only one. ”

“Yeah," Qian Zhongming nodded, “so you think it would be a problem for him to lack someone? ”

Nobunaga's research institute released a message to recruit people...

Only half of China and even overseas research dogs are afraid to shred their heads and squeeze them in.
