Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Until then, while the Ark was ready for the task, he did not fail to live up to his expectations.

Five sets of samples, four per set.

Difficulties in laboratory preparation with ceramic-based graphene composites make it difficult to accomplish these tasks within a week.

Anyway, with these samples, we should be able to catch up with Daya Bay.

Before testing for neutron irradiation resistance in high-energy areas, the ark needs to diagnose the performance of these five groups of samples in neutron irradiation environments in relatively low-energy areas.

If it was in good condition, he would consider testing it in the experimental stack.

After all, billions of devices, be they Tokamak or a copycat, are not windswept by the wind. I don't know how long it will be in the future, or save some time.

Unless you are collecting the necessary experimental data, or trying with certainty, try it in the fission heap first, which is far better than just taking it to the experimental heap for testing.

Looking over the ark of the report, Hou took a deep breath and continued.

“In the experiment, we simplified the existing experimental steps and tried to figure out a simpler synthetic approach! ”

Upon hearing the unexpected news, the ark lifted its eyebrows with interest: "Oh, yeah? Write me a report in two days. ”

Hou Jian nodded immediately: "Okay! ”

After reading several XRD test reports on hand, the ship temporarily dropped the information.

In terms of the test results, these samples basically match his calculations.

Next, we'll have to wait for the report from Daya Bay.

“If there's nothing else, go home early today. Look at you. You can't even walk. ”

“Okay…”

Gratefully looked at the ark, and Hou Jin had no excuse.

After all, he is also Bensan's person, and his body is still no better than it was when he first read Bo.

After a week of liver explosion, his body is really dying...

……

As planned, the Ark sent five sets of samples to Daya Bay through special logistics channels.

Patience waited for a while, and the test results were sent over quickly.

“The test results are out on Daya Bay. ”

Put a piece of information on the Ark's desk, Yang Xu said with excitement, "The results are quite perfect! ”

Although Yang Xu's expression had cleared up the content of the test results, the Ark immediately reached out to take the information and couldn't wait to read it.

In different irradiation scenarios, such as pressurized water cooling reactor (PWR) and light water reactor (BWR), five groups of materials collected the DPA production rate of different energy zones.

As a control group, it is austenitic steel, which is commonly used as a structural material in fusion devices.

As Yang Xu said, the results of the experiment were quite perfect.

Although many values differ considerably from the results he simulates through computational material methods, errors are within acceptable ranges.

After all, the Lindhard-Robinson model he refers to is not in itself a particularly perfect imaginary model. If the data matches perfectly, it's not normal.

Five sets of samples were compared laterally, with amplification of the neutron infusion rate, where permeability to neutrons and self-repair to Frenkel defect pairs were optimal for the fourth set of samples.

Especially in a PWR environment with an irradiation temperature of 680K and fast neutron infusion of 4.2 × 1020cm ², its DPA production rate is less than 10% of the control group austenitic steel!

In radiological detection, the dpa index is typically used to represent the number of times each atom is excised.

Without a doubt, they did it!

At least in the low-energy zone…

In contrast to Yang Xu's excitement, the reaction of the ark was rather calm.

After looking at the information from beginning to end, he thought for a moment and said.

“Irradiation temperature is only 680K, fast neutron injection is obviously not enough, and the single neutron carries only 1MeV of energy. Don't be rushed. Our goal is the structural material of the fusion reactor, which can only be counted as a gradual achievement. ”

Although the results of this staged study are quite surprising.

At least in the performance of low-energy zones, the performance of this ceramic-based graphene composite has ended the Al, Mg, Zr alloys that are common as experimental heap shell materials.

And its anisotropy in thermal energy transfer goes without saying much.

In terms of these excellent properties alone, even if this material is not used on fusion heaps, it has high application prospects on some fission heaps.

Yang Xu smiled and said: “If you say that, it is too harsh. Even if it is a gradual achievement, it is not small. I feel that there is nothing wrong with being happy. ”

Ark Zhouguan smiled: “Perhaps, but I prefer to wait for all the dust to settle before tasting the champagne of victory. ”

Yang Xu: “So... do we still have to test it in the fusion unit? ”

The ark nodded: “For the moment, that is the only way. ”

Only the fusion heap itself can simulate the fusion heap environment.

Yang Xu: “Without talking about the fusion reactor, what name are you going to give us for this material? Now that sample number 4 has been identified as the optimal stage result, it cannot be called again by number. ”

When he heard that he was going to name himself, Ark Zhou made a difficult mistake, some headaches said.

“Don't leave the naming to me. Take into account the opinions of the research team on the other side. You can decide for yourselves. ”

“How is that possible?” Yang Xu laughed and said, "In accordance with the usual practice, naming the results of the research is decided by the general manager of the project. If you don't, you can put your name on it. ”

Upon hearing this suggestion, Ark Zhou suddenly coughed and said, “Never mind the name, I'll think about it. ”

He still has a lot of research to do.

If they're all named after people, I'm afraid they're not enough. I'm afraid he won't even remember which one it is.

After carefully pondering this serious problem for a moment, the ark suddenly opened its eyes and said.

“… just call it LPC-1. ”

Yang Xu: “…”

When Yang Xu saw the silent expression on his face, the ark stunned slightly.

“What's the matter? ”

Yang Xu coughed dry and covered up the embarrassment and said: “Nothing, it's a good name. I just think... this naming rule is pretty much your style. ”

LPC is an abbreviation for porous carbon material, and the first generation of products is followed by a number 1, which is basically the least confusing nomenclature, but also the least creative nomenclature.

It's a little too casual to name such an important research result.

When Yang Xu heard this puke, Ark probably guessed what he was thinking. He laughed and said, “It doesn't matter what the material is called, what matters is its function. ”

Yang Xu: “Okay, you just have fun... by the way, if you're going to test it in the lab pile, are you going to go to the southwest side again? ”

The ark shook its head: “The situation with HL-2A has reached its limits. From the last experiment, I was afraid it would be enough for them to fix it by the end of the year, and this time I won't force them. ”

Though I don't mind torturing Week's equipment a few more times, the basic law should be considered for any further torturing.

The injection of nuclear fuel into the experimental heap is not a joke. Although the fusion reaction will stop at any time, if hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma leak out, it will be quite a serious accident.

Speaking of which, the ark paused for a moment and said in a joking tone.

“Besides, this is a moment to witness history and not to mention textbooks. ”

“It would be a shame to let someone else's equipment witness it. ”
