Is this a beautiful misunderstanding, or does it mean new chemistry...
With less than half an hour left before the report meeting, many people even sat in the corridor.
Although controllable nuclear fusion is outside his field of research, he is still very interested in something that usually only exists in science fiction blockbusters.
In theory, the continuous ignition of the stellarator is easier to control than the pulse ignition of the tokamak device.
"That's for sure."
Using a twist as a metaphor may not be vivid enough. You have to twist the twist into a circle and connect it end to end to connect seamlessly.
However, this part of the research is obviously not visible here, and confidential research is naturally conducted in confidential places.
This does sound like a pretty interesting topic.
Lu Zhou smiled confidently and gently adjusted the tie on his chest.
For example, the fully superconducting tokamak (EAST) built by China plays a pivotal role in the ITER project.
Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone: "Basically OK."
Because the difficulty of this project far exceeds all scientific research projects that have ever appeared in history, such as the Manhattan Project, the Human Genome Project, and the Apollo Project, and the ultimate realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology is simply not within the scientific research capabilities of a certain country. You can do it alone.
Controlled nuclear fusion? !
As for the distribution of benefits after the project is successful, that is another game. Now there is not even a hint of a solution to the immediate problem, let alone those beyond that.
As for the description from a geometric point of view, it is a Möbius strip that continuously transforms in three-dimensional space.
Under such a premise, the benefits of working behind closed doors are far less than the benefits of actively participating in the ITER project and taking the lead in it.
Contrary to the conspiracy theories surrounding nuclear fusion technology described in most stall literature, although various countries do some private work in cooperative research in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, most of the research results obtained are basically public. .
In this circular orbit wrapped by coils, the plasma can operate stably relying entirely on the constraints of the external field.
Even though the orbit in front of him seemed complicated enough to Lu Zhou, it was only one of the parts of the entire nuclear fusion device. As for this part alone, I am afraid that except for Germany, there are only a handful of countries that can process it.
Lu Zhou glanced at the old man in surprise. He didn't expect that he could understand the word "mahua".
This lecture has been anticipated by the theoretical chemistry community for two full months.
However, although the stellarator has so many advantages, it has a fatal disadvantage, that is, the requirements for the processing technology are extremely demanding, and the engineering volume of the entire equipment is extremely complex.
Because one of the main functions of laser fusion is to simulate hydrogen bomb explosions, the ITER project is in principle also used by countries outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
If that's the case, it's truly an opportunity not to be missed.
Lu Zhou joked. "I thought it was some kind of secret place."
"Can I come in and visit?"
"How are the preparations going?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Really? Then I will remember this sentence."
On the early morning of Saturday, Lu Zhou got up early and arrived at the report meeting an hour early.
"This is the plasma orbit replaced from Spiral Stone 7-X," Professor Klitzing said, looking at the device in front of him. "As for the complete body of Spiral Stone 7-X, it is in the eastern city of Greifsvar Germany. If you are interested, I can take the time to take you to see it after the report is over. There happens to be a similar experiment being launched over there recently."
When he arrived at the venue, the entire venue was almost full, and the crowds were densely packed as far as the eye could see.
Everyone was staring closely at the big screen behind the podium, waiting to witness this historic moment.
"Come on," gave Lu Zhou a thumbs up. President Strahman did not say any more, but simply sent his blessing. "I hope all of us can witness history today."
The only part involving confidentiality is, at best, the laser fusion used for "ignition".
Noticing Lu Zhou's confused gaze, Professor Kriching smiled and said: "There is nothing to keep secret. You can even search for the papers about it in the database of the Flintstone Library. As for the access control, it is mainly to prevent idlers. Come in, the security problem in Berlin is very serious recently.”
And this is one of the reasons why China puts all its chips on the tokamak device when it comes to the choice of technical route.
According to the original plan, the report will be held at Humboldt University.
However, no matter how interesting the research project is, it is not as important as the work at hand.
Professor Klitzing smiled and said happily: "If you are interested, of course no problem."
Following Professor Klitzing all the way to the core area of the building, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the strange-shaped object in the center of the open space: "This thing is just like a piece of twist."
Professor Klitzing joked: "Really? I think it's more like a donut with a layer of cream."
As for why we need to collaborate on research, the reason is simple.
In fact, neither the tokamak nor the design of the stellarator is particularly secretive in theory, and this is why Professor Klitzing was able to bring Lu Zhou in for a visit.
Originally he thought this place was a highly confidential place, but Professor Klitzing just took his work card and swiped it on the access control, and then led him in easily.
Following Professor Klitzing's footsteps, Lu Zhou stepped into the interior of this building.
Standing next to the podium, President Strahman glanced at the crowded seats in the venue and asked the staff to move some unused chairs to the conference room next door and place them at the back of the venue.
According to the ITER agreement signed in Paris in November 2006, at every International Fusion Energy Conference, research teams from various countries will report on the latest research progress.
Hearing Professor Klitzing mention this matter, Lu Zhou immediately became very interested.
Professor Klitzing laughed and said: "Secret place? Don't worry, I can't even enter that kind of place, let alone you."
In line with the stance of academic openness, the Max Planck Society, which hosted this lecture, did not restrict the qualifications of the attendees. It only arranged seat numbers for those who were determined to attend the lecture, so it was not just those who had been paying attention to this lecture a long time ago. Scholars at the lecture, as well as doctors and masters from major universities and research institutions in Berlin, also came to join in the fun.
After finishing his visit to the Max Planck Laboratory in Berlin, Lu Zhou returned to the Bernitz Hotel and began making final preparations for the upcoming lecture.
After finishing this matter, he cast a questioning look at Lu Zhou, who was copying data to the multimedia desk.
In contrast, the tokamak device, which is opposite to the stellarator, relies on the coupling of the external magnetic field and the magnetic field generated by the plasma current. If the plasma is disturbed or becomes unstable due to some unknown physical phenomenon, the entire system will be at risk of collapse.
In this way, time passed day by day, and soon the day of the report meeting began.
