The reason why a perfect super tokamak requires high-excursion metal is because the energy generated by fusion requires an inner wall called a "cladding" to absorb it.
The "cladding", also known as the "first wall of the fusion reactor", means the inner wall that directly faces the fusion process. What it has to face is plasma with high temperatures of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees, as well as a large amount of medium. Sub-radiation, the strength of the material depends on the arrangement rules of the atoms. Under such extreme conditions, after the atoms are continuously bombarded, the material properties will soon deteriorate.
Therefore, this kind of inner wall will be made extremely complex. For example, in the "International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor" project, the cladding thickness of the Tokamak device reaches a thickness of 80 cm to 100 cm. However, for high-energy neutrons, this One thickness is still not enough.
Therefore, the emergence of abnormal materials such as high-offset metals is necessary.
However, Chen Chen now did not have the conditions to make high-excursion metal, so he could only settle for the next best thing and find a way to build another inertial fusion reactor.
Inertial confinement fusion, also known as laser fusion, requires very high power of the laser. It also requires high-precision optical instruments to control the aiming of the laser. The symmetry of the implosion is very demanding. So far, all Only the NIF project in North America in the world can achieve the simultaneous focus of 193 laser equipment.
In the technology of the "Elysium Space" plane, only 48 are needed to achieve it, but the premise must be that all laser emitters are in a supersymmetric state.
Of course, these laser generator components cannot be counted on in Namibia. Chen Chen asked Xiao and optical components.
Some of these suppliers even specifically serve the Dutch ASML company, and the components of EUV lithography machines are produced by these suppliers.
As for some things that he couldn't get, Chen Chen had to rely on those consortiums.
So at the beginning of the New Year in 2024, Chen Chen returned to Handu and spent the New Year with his parents.
According to the tradition of Zhongzhou District, the New Year is a day to pay New Year greetings to the elders, and the first day of the Lunar New Year is to pay New Year greetings to the elders of the father.
Chen Chen's father has three brothers and one sister. Among them, Chen Chen's father is the youngest, which means that Chen Chen has two uncles and an aunt, and these people also have one or two children.
The eldest among them is the son of Chen Chen’s uncle. He is already thirty this year and has started his own family. I heard he works in a bank. The youngest is the second uncle’s daughter, who is the same age as Chen Chen and has also entered the university. I am a senior and will graduate in half a year.
Chen Chen was actually not familiar with this kind of annual family gathering. When he was young, Chen Chen's father was assigned to the border area because he was admitted to the military academy. Chen Chen almost grew up in the border area from birth to the age of eight or nine.
Then, because Chen Chen's father had no way to be promoted in the army for a long time, after serving as a battalion commander for nearly ten years, he chose to change jobs and returned to his hometown of Handu, becoming an ordinary grassroots civil servant.
But who would have thought that this time, he would be at the grassroots level for the rest of his life.
After his father returned to Handu, Chen Chen began to contact his parents' relatives. Chen Chen's life was not bad, that is, he was an ordinary working-class family, and his family gatherings were quite satisfactory every year.
Chen Chen's two uncles were also incompetent. Only Chen Chen's uncle managed to make it through and became the deputy director of the Electric Power Bureau. He has always been the centerpiece of every family gathering.
However, as more and more news about Blacklight Technology has come out in the past two years, relatives have gradually learned something about it.
Maybe they don't know anything else, but at least they know that Blacklight Technology is a giant multinational group company, and which one with the name of a multinational group doesn't have a market value of hundreds of millions
Then, as Chen Chen's parents bought a villa in a wealthy area, relatives gradually became more enthusiastic about Chen Chen's family, which also made Chen Chen's parents straighten their backs here.
"Xiaochen is already 22 years old this year. He is really promising."
At the dinner table, Chen Chen's aunt sighed, "I still remember that Xiao Chen was a little kid a few years ago, but I didn't expect that he would be so big in the blink of an eye..."
"Yes, it's time to talk about a partner. Xiaochen, is there any girl you like here?"
The second aunt on the side quickly asked, "Although foreign women are not bad, after all, genes often mutate. For example, our neighbor found a daughter-in-law who was a Chinese pony, and ended up giving birth to a little black child who was one of our own." The genes are stable…”
"?"
Chen Chen raised his head if he realized it.
"Is Xiaochen still young now?"
Chen Chen's father was a little embarrassed, "We still have to put our career first. We can afford to wait three to five years."
"Hey, fourth brother, what you said is very good!"
Chen Chen's uncle gave a thumbs up, "After all, a man has his ambitions in all directions, great, great!"
The crowd roared with laughter.
"By the way, Xiaochen, now that you have opened a company, you should have a lot of entertainment, right?"
Uncle Chen Chen picked up a glass of wine and said, "Besides, you are not a child now. Do you want to give my uncle face and have a drink?"
"I don't know how to drink." Chen Chen waved his hand.
"Hey, Xiaochen's words are completely out of context."
Uncle Chen Chen looked solemn and said a little unhappy, "If you don't want to drink, just say you don't want to drink. They are all big bosses. Who would believe it if they say they don't know how to drink?"
"Uncle, I really don't know how to drink."
Chen Chen smiled quietly, it wasn't that he was putting on airs, but that it was indeed the case.
It has been shown in the movie that after taking NZT-48, the male protagonist went to the bar to hang out while the drug was taking effect. As a result, after drinking a few drinks, he fell into a state of fragmentation and had no idea what happened in the next ten hours. No memory.
For Chen Chen, who tried to control everything, this situation that he could not control was simply unacceptable. Therefore, from the day he obtained NZT-48, he never touched a drop of alcohol again.
"Xiaochen, today is a holiday anyway, how about you have a drink with your uncle?"
Chen Chen's father was trying to smooth things over, while secretly urging Chen Chen.
Chen Chen's father has always been a traditional person, adhering to the old rules and not wanting to see Chen Chen disobey his elders.
Seeing this, Chen Chen smiled softly, picked up his Pepsi and poured it all into an empty wine glass, and then said to his uncle, "Uncle, let me toast you."
As he spoke, he drank a large glass of Coke in one gulp.
Seeing this, Chen Chen's uncle didn't say much. He just drank his wine angrily and sat down. The atmosphere at the table was a little dull for a while.
After finishing the meal, Chen Chen sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone. This is also the character that Chen Chen has always shown. He is introverted and talks little. If someone doesn't take the initiative to speak, Chen Chen can go without saying a word for a whole day.
However, if Chen Chen, who used to have this kind of personality, was just a little transparent at the party, now it is no longer what it used to be. Although everyone still seemed to be chatting happily, in fact everyone's attention was consciously or unconsciously focused on On Chen Chen's body.
After just sitting on the sofa for a while, Chen Chen felt the secret gazes of everyone, and his uncle's son Chen Zheng was also a little restless and looked towards him frequently.
After seemingly hesitating for a long time, Chen Zheng finally plucked up the courage, walked quietly to Chen Chen, and gently patted Chen Chen on the shoulder.
"Xiaochen, come here, I want to tell you something!"
Chen Zheng lowered his voice and said.
Chen Chen nodded, put away his phone, stood up, and followed Chen Zheng out of the living room.
When Chen Chen stood up, as the core of the entire gathering, almost everyone looked over subconsciously. Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Zheng, who was walking in front, blushed even more and pretended not to notice it at all.
The second aunt on the side even pinched the second uncle's arm secretly.
It wasn't until he reached the yard and avoided everyone that Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a box of cigarettes, pulled out two cigarettes and handed them to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen waved his hand to express that he did not smoke.
Seeing this, Chen Zheng felt a little ashamed, "You have already opened a company, don't you even smoke?"
"Carbon monoxide kills people's brain cells." Chen Chen pointed to his head and then said, "Cousin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Ahem, since that's the case, I'll just tell you."
Chen Zheng coughed lightly and said, "My cousin, I'm tired of working in the bank recently. Seeing that you are doing so well now, I also want to open a company and invest in a project. Now I have saved a lot of money over the years. I paid more than 200,000 yuan, but unfortunately it’s not even close, so I’ll see if you, cousin, can lend me some money first…”
At the end of the sentence, Chen Zheng's face turned red.
Chen Chen did not agree immediately, but asked, "What project is it? Does my sister know about it?"
"I want to open an advertising agency, but your sister basically disagrees, so I came to you."
Chen Zheng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "In her opinion, running a company is not as stable as working in a bank, but I know that if I continue to work, it will be like this for the rest of my life. I am really not willing to accept it..."
Chen Chen thought for a moment after hearing this, "How about this? I'll invest one million, all as shares, and occupy 70% of the company's shares. Cousin, you will be responsible for managing the company and occupy 30% of the shares. As for Don’t use your savings. I heard that my sister is pregnant, so it’s better to keep that money for emergencies.”
"real?"
Chen Zheng was immediately delighted when he heard this, "Thank you, cousin, I didn't expect you to be so generous!"
Chen Chen waved his hand, "Okay, I will stay in Handu these days. You can find a lawyer to draft a contract and then come to me."
With that said, Chen Chen returned to the room.
When he returned to his sofa, Chen Chen sighed secretly.
He knew in his heart that after he became successful, this kind of thing was indeed inevitable. In fact, as early as a year or two ago, Chen Chen's parents had been robbed of a lot of money by relatives nearby.
Although Chen Chen wouldn't feel bad even if the amount of money that was 'borrowed' was a thousand times more, this kind of thing always makes people feel uncomfortable.
But Chen Zheng is different. Like his former self, he is the kind of person who is honest and honest, and never asks for help easily. As far as Chen Chen knows, among all the relatives, the uncle's family has never borrowed money from Chen Chen's parents.
Now that the other party has spoken, Chen Chen is naturally willing to give the other party a chance.
However, although the other party claimed to be "borrowing money", in fact, he did not have the ability to repay it. If he lost money, Chen Chen could not let the other party use the real estate certificate as a mortgage, and Chen Chen's parents would not let Chen Chen do this.
Therefore, Chen Chen simply joined the other party's business in the form of a joint-stock system. No matter whether he makes money or loses in the future, Chen Chen will not feel any pain.
And if they really lose money, the relationship between the two will naturally be severed. Even if the other party still wants to borrow money, Chen Chen has a reason to say no to the other party and stop him.
After sitting on the sofa for a while again, the second uncle who was being urged impatiently by the second aunt finally came over and whispered with a smile on his face: "Xiaochen, come out for a moment, uncle has something to tell you..."
Chen Chen didn't raise his head, just scrolled through his phone and said at the same time, "Second uncle, I'm a little tired today. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Chen Chen learned from the bodyguards placed next to his parents that his second uncle had taken more than 800,000 yuan from his father in the name of borrowing money, so much that even a good man like Chen Chen's father was unwilling to lend it to him again. to the point…
"Well… "
Suddenly, a look of embarrassment appeared on the second uncle's face. He turned back to look at the second aunt, and then he smiled bravely and said, "That's it, my uncle is a little tight recently. Do you think you can lend me some money?" "
"Second uncle, I remember that you borrowed a lot of money from my father. How can you pay it back?"
Chen Chen pretended to be curious and said, "As you know, it's not easy for me to work hard outside. I originally wanted to save some money to marry a wife in the future, but I didn't expect that all of it was borrowed by everyone. Now I don't even see an IOU. I’m in a dilemma too.”
"Xiaochen, you said you have no money, we don't believe it!"
Finally, the second aunt, who had been secretly commanding the second uncle, couldn't help but speak, "Now who doesn't know that Blacklight Technology is a multinational company? Everyone on the Internet knows that the CEO of Blacklight Technology is worth tens of billions, and your family lives in You have a million-dollar villa and a million-dollar luxury car, but we are just lending you a small amount of money. You are our closest relatives, do you need to be so stingy?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he showed a fierce look.
For a moment, the atmosphere among everyone cooled down again, and everyone had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
Chen Chen simply ignored the other party and stood up directly, "Mom, Dad, let's go."
"Oh, okay, okay..."
Chen Chen's father just woke up from a dream. He sighed, said hello to everyone, grabbed Chen Chen's mother and walked out.
"you… "
The second aunt was immediately dumbfounded and stared blankly, but she still didn't know what to say.
After leaving his grandma's house, Chen Chen drove his parents back. Chen Chen's father sighed frequently along the way, as if he still didn't understand.
"Why did the good second brother suddenly become like this?" Chen Chen's father couldn't help but ask.
"Probably, this is life..."
Chen Chen replied softly.
