"In science fiction films, TV shows or literary works, we can always see descriptions of controllable nuclear fusion. And the word controllable nuclear fusion seems to condense all our fantasies about energy..."
And the newly designed water-cooled divertor will naturally not appear on the WEGA device.
Although scientists, unlike actors, do not need exposure, it is still necessary for them, researchers in future disciplines, to be interviewed appropriately.
"Before the STAR device, our country's research on stellarators was almost blank. I would like to ask Academician Zhou what you think of this first stellarator device in the country."
"As for its prototype, you may not have heard of it, but I can tell you that it is actually the German WEGA device. This device was probably decommissioned in 2013 and has been stored in Frankfurt, Germany. Later, Professor Lu When I went to study in Germany, I probably took a fancy to it, so I lobbied in both countries and spent 500 million euros in research funds to buy it from the Germans.”
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu grinned slightly and spoke.
It is precisely because of this that he feels no pressure when he says this.
In the CTV "Science Road" studio, a program about controllable nuclear fusion is going on.
After hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu spoke eloquently: "It's not a question that I don't think about. The reason why Spiral Stone 7-X can complete long-term plasma confinement for thirty minutes is mainly due to its special external field coil design. , and the most critical water-cooled divertor."
Although speaking on this kind of popular science program did not have much substantive effect, he felt relieved when he thought of the young man who ignored him.
"The engineering difficulty of the stellarator is too great. In comparison, the design of the tokamak is simpler and the engineering implementation difficulty is relatively low."
"Welcome to this episode of Science Road, I am the host Cheng Nan."
Moderator: "Then do you think the STAR device after Nirvana is reborn can replicate the 30-minute miracle created by Spiral Stone 7-X?"
Led by the host, the audience gave warm applause.
"Although this water-cooled divertor is also found in WEGA devices, it was more than 20 years ago. It is still far behind the one currently in service on the Helix Stone. If the STAR Stellar Simulator intends to copy the Helix Stone 7 For X to be successful, he had to at least make innovations in the cooling device, but obviously he failed to do so."
As if he was not satisfied with the word nirvana and rebirth, Zhou Chengfu frowned subconsciously, but soon realized that it was in a program, so his brows relaxed in an instant.
Zhou Chengfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it wasn't thirty minutes.
Of course, it’s hard to say how much this point is.
"In science fiction films, TV shows or literary works, we can always see descriptions of controllable nuclear fusion. And the word controllable nuclear fusion seems to condense all our fantasies about energy..."
"Welcome to this episode of Science Road, I am the host Cheng Nan."
Host: "Can you please tell us what the characteristics of this STAR device are?"
The audience also had surprised expressions on their faces.
However, he was not yet halfway relieved, and he was destined not to be able to relax.
Zhou Chengfu smiled lightly: "I don't know much about it, but I still understand it."
4 billion!
Zhou Chengfu smiled, but he didn't feel much about the number he mentioned.
Poverty limits their imagination.
"The theme of this program is the future energy that fascinates us—controllable nuclear fusion."
"It depends on what you compare it with. It's definitely a lot more expensive than studying mathematics, but it's still a little cheaper than the space station and the Hadron Collider."
What's more, even if you don't look at these factors, it has been almost two months since the scientific review article came out. So far, there has been no movement at all from the STAR Stellar Modeling Institute.
"It's STAR Research Institute!"
The host looked at Zhou Chengfu in surprise and continued to ask: "Aren't you optimistic about this STAR device?"
In the CTV "Science Road" studio, a program about controllable nuclear fusion is going on.
And the newly designed water-cooled divertor will naturally not appear on the WEGA device.
"To this end, we have specially invited the director and chief engineer of the Huaguo International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Implementation Center and Academician Zhou Chengfu of the Southwest Institute of Physics to explain to us the past and present of controllable nuclear fusion... Everyone is welcome!"
The host showed a surprised expression on his face: "500 million euros? If converted into RMB, that would be nearly 4 billion... Is the research on controllable nuclear fusion so expensive?"
Host: "Do you know anything about the STAR device?"
"Welcome to this episode of Science Road, I am the host Cheng Nan."
Bang bang bang!
"It depends on what you compare it with. It's definitely a lot more expensive than studying mathematics, but it's still a little cheaper than the space station and the Hadron Collider."
“We don’t have to try every technical route. Instead of trying every possibility, we should focus our limited resources on the most likely directions.”
"... At present, the mainstream of international controllable fusion research is still tokamak, and then there are inertial constraints of laser ignition, and the anti-field pinch you just mentioned."
Led by the host, the audience gave warm applause.
As if he was not satisfied with the word nirvana and rebirth, Zhou Chengfu frowned subconsciously, but soon realized that it was in a program, so his brows relaxed in an instant.
Walking onto the stage from behind the scenes of the studio, the gray-haired Zhou Chengfu nodded to the audience with a smile, and then sat on the sofa at the invitation of the host.
"Compared to random attempts without any structure, this is the pragmatic choice!"
Host: "Can you please tell us what the characteristics of this STAR device are?"
"Compared to random attempts without any structure, this is the pragmatic choice!"
Poverty limits their imagination.
"The audience present may have heard that just a few months ago, the stellarator STAR device located in Jinling City successfully completed the ignition experiment. Including this stellarator, including the magnetically confined HT Including tokamak devices such as -7 and EAST, as well as the inertial confinement Shenguang, and the recently proposed anti-field pinch, our country's scientific researchers have almost covered all technical routes for controllable nuclear fusion research and are leading the way. At the forefront of the world.”
Walking onto the stage from behind the scenes of the studio, the gray-haired Zhou Chengfu nodded to the audience with a smile, and then sat on the sofa at the invitation of the host.
"It's STAR Research Institute!"
Hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu smiled and said modestly: "To say it is ignition is too exaggerated. After all, tritium is very expensive. Before solving the two problems of tritium retention and plasma irradiation damage to the first wall material, we generally They are all experiments with hydrogen.”
Moderator: "Then do you think the STAR device after Nirvana is reborn can replicate the 30-minute miracle created by Spiral Stone 7-X?"
After a pause, Zhou Chengfu continued.
Shangjing City.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Moderator: "Then do you think the STAR device after Nirvana is reborn can replicate the 30-minute miracle created by Spiral Stone 7-X?"
Zhou Chengfu said impatiently: "Just tell me in one sentence what happened to STAR Research Institute."
These days, he was attending a meeting in Beijing and happened to receive an invitation from the "Road to Science" column team. Since he hasn't been very busy recently, he came over and took a look around.
Amused by this vivid metaphor, the audience smiled knowingly.
Host: "Do you know anything about the STAR device?"
Led by the host, the audience gave warm applause.
"30 minutes?" Zhou Chengfu smiled and shook his head and said calmly, "It's not easy to run for two minutes continuously."
And the newly designed water-cooled divertor will naturally not appear on the WEGA device.
Although scientists, unlike actors, do not need exposure, it is still necessary for them, researchers in future disciplines, to be interviewed appropriately.
Jia Liangcai, who was on the other end of the phone, continued to speak with a tone of bitterness and disbelief.
"30 minutes?" Zhou Chengfu smiled and shook his head and said calmly, "It's not easy to run for two minutes continuously."
“We don’t have to try every technical route. Instead of trying every possibility, we should focus our limited resources on the most likely directions.”
"In terms of characteristics, as you said, it is probably the first real stellarator in China."
After hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu spoke eloquently: "It's not a question that I don't think about. The reason why Spiral Stone 7-X can complete long-term plasma confinement for thirty minutes is mainly due to its special external field coil design. , and the most critical water-cooled divertor."
Zhou Chengfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it wasn't thirty minutes.
"In terms of characteristics, as you said, it is probably the first real stellarator in China."
After all, after spending so much money, they have to let the public know what they have done and what changes their research results can make.

What's more, even if you don't look at these factors, it has been almost two months since the scientific review article came out. So far, there has been no movement at all from the STAR Stellar Modeling Institute.
"30 minutes?" Zhou Chengfu smiled and shook his head and said calmly, "It's not easy to run for two minutes continuously."
"The engineering difficulty of the stellarator is too great. In comparison, the design of the tokamak is simpler and the engineering implementation difficulty is relatively low."
However, he was not yet halfway relieved, and he was destined not to be able to relax.
Shangjing City.
"... The report I saw in Jinling Daily said they seemed to have extended the magnetic confinement time to one hour... "
After hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu spoke eloquently: "It's not a question that I don't think about. The reason why Spiral Stone 7-X can complete long-term plasma confinement for thirty minutes is mainly due to its special external field coil design. , and the most critical water-cooled divertor."
"Not thirty minutes..."
The host showed a surprised expression on his face: "500 million euros? If converted into RMB, that would be nearly 4 billion... Is the research on controllable nuclear fusion so expensive?"
“We don’t have to try every technical route. Instead of trying every possibility, we should focus our limited resources on the most likely directions.”
"Before the STAR device, our country's research on stellarators was almost blank. I would like to ask Academician Zhou what you think of this first stellarator device in the country."
"In science fiction films, TV shows or literary works, we can always see descriptions of controllable nuclear fusion. And the word controllable nuclear fusion seems to condense all our fantasies about energy..."
"It depends on what you compare it with. It's definitely a lot more expensive than studying mathematics, but it's still a little cheaper than the space station and the Hadron Collider."
"The theme of this program is the future energy that fascinates us—controllable nuclear fusion."
"Compared to random attempts without any structure, this is the pragmatic choice!"
Poverty limits their imagination.
"30 minutes?" Zhou Chengfu smiled and shook his head and said calmly, "It's not easy to run for two minutes continuously."
It is precisely because of this that he feels no pressure when he says this.
Zhou Chengfu smiled, but he didn't feel much about the number he mentioned.
Although speaking on this kind of popular science program did not have much substantive effect, he felt relieved when he thought of the young man who ignored him.
…
"To this end, we have specially invited the director and chief engineer of the Huaguo International Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Implementation Center and Academician Zhou Chengfu of the Southwest Institute of Physics to explain to us the past and present of controllable nuclear fusion... Everyone is welcome!"
Host: "Can you please tell us what the characteristics of this STAR device are?"
Now Zhou Chengfu can basically be sure that it's not that Lu Zhou doesn't want to refute him with facts, but that the STAR device simply can't do it.
Shangjing City.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Jia Liangcai calling, so he pressed the connect button and put the phone to his ear.
Bang bang bang!
After the interview, Zhou Chengfu, who recalled the applause in the studio earlier, felt relaxed and indescribably happy when he left the studio.
"Theoretically, every technical route is feasible. As long as we solve the various problems we face on this route and the problems we are about to face, the final destination will ultimately be the fusion we are pursuing. Energy. Just like pickup trucks and cars, both have four wheels. As long as you pass the toll station, you can still get on the highway."
Of course, it’s hard to say how much this point is.
And the newly designed water-cooled divertor will naturally not appear on the WEGA device.

Although speaking on this kind of popular science program did not have much substantive effect, he felt relieved when he thought of the young man who ignored him.
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu grinned slightly and spoke.
"In science fiction films, TV shows or literary works, we can always see descriptions of controllable nuclear fusion. And the word controllable nuclear fusion seems to condense all our fantasies about energy..."
4 billion!
"In terms of characteristics, as you said, it is probably the first real stellarator in China."
"Before the STAR device, our country's research on stellarators was almost blank. I would like to ask Academician Zhou what you think of this first stellarator device in the country."
"The engineering difficulty of the stellarator is too great. In comparison, the design of the tokamak is simpler and the engineering implementation difficulty is relatively low."
After a pause, Zhou Chengfu continued.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"What's going on?" Hearing the panicked voice, Zhou Chengfu frowned.
"Compared to random attempts without any structure, this is the pragmatic choice!"
Host: "Do you know anything about the STAR device?"
Although speaking on this kind of popular science program did not have much substantive effect, he felt relieved when he thought of the young man who ignored him.
"As for its prototype, you may not have heard of it, but I can tell you that it is actually the German WEGA device. This device was probably decommissioned in 2013 and has been stored in Frankfurt, Germany. Later, Professor Lu When I went to study in Germany, I probably took a fancy to it, so I lobbied in both countries and spent 500 million euros in research funds to buy it from the Germans.”
Zhou Chengfu smiled, but he didn't feel much about the number he mentioned.

Zhou Chengfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it wasn't thirty minutes.
"Zhou, Director Zhou!"
Zhou Chengfu smiled, but he didn't feel much about the number he mentioned.

After the interview, Zhou Chengfu, who recalled the applause in the studio earlier, felt relaxed and indescribably happy when he left the studio.
"They restarted the experiment? Why didn't I hear any news? Tell me, what were the results of his experiment? Did you do it for thirty minutes?"
"What's going on?" Hearing the panicked voice, Zhou Chengfu frowned.
After hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu spoke eloquently: "It's not a question that I don't think about. The reason why Spiral Stone 7-X can complete long-term plasma confinement for thirty minutes is mainly due to its special external field coil design. , and the most critical water-cooled divertor."
This is not nonsense. The success of the spiral stone in the thirty-minute long-term restraint is mainly due to the contribution of the water-cooled divertor, at least that is what the Germans claim to the outside world.
Bang bang bang!
"The theme of this program is the future energy that fascinates us—controllable nuclear fusion."
"Welcome to this episode of Science Road, I am the host Cheng Nan."
"It's STAR Research Institute!"
"... The report I saw in Jinling Daily said they seemed to have extended the magnetic confinement time to one hour... "
After hearing this, Zhou Chengchengfu felt nervous and asked hurriedly.
"Compared to random attempts without any structure, this is the pragmatic choice!"
Amused by this vivid metaphor, the audience smiled knowingly.
Although scientists, unlike actors, do not need exposure, it is still necessary for them, researchers in future disciplines, to be interviewed appropriately.
4 billion!
"It's STAR Research Institute!"
"Although this water-cooled divertor is also found in WEGA devices, it was more than 20 years ago. It is still far behind the one currently in service on the Helix Stone. If the STAR Stellar Simulator intends to copy the Helix Stone 7 For X to be successful, he had to at least make innovations in the cooling device, but obviously he failed to do so."
Zhou Chengfu said impatiently: "Just tell me in one sentence what happened to STAR Research Institute."
Zhou Chengfu smiled, but he didn't feel much about the number he mentioned.
"The theme of this program is the future energy that fascinates us—controllable nuclear fusion."

Led by the host, the audience gave warm applause.
Now Zhou Chengfu can basically be sure that it's not that Lu Zhou doesn't want to refute him with facts, but that the STAR device simply can't do it.
"... The report I saw in Jinling Daily said they seemed to have extended the magnetic confinement time to one hour... "
Listening to this barrage of questions, Jia Liangcai had a bitter smile on his face.
Host: "Do you know anything about the STAR device?"
"Hello?"
Although speaking on this kind of popular science program did not have much substantive effect, he felt relieved when he thought of the young man who ignored him.
"Hello?"
Host: "Do you know anything about the STAR device?"
"Not thirty minutes..."
"In terms of characteristics, as you said, it is probably the first real stellarator in China."
Jia Liangcai, who was on the other end of the phone, continued to speak with a tone of bitterness and disbelief.
Moderator: "Then do you think the STAR device after Nirvana is reborn can replicate the 30-minute miracle created by Spiral Stone 7-X?"
Zhou Chengfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it wasn't thirty minutes.

"It depends on what you compare it with. It's definitely a lot more expensive than studying mathematics, but it's still a little cheaper than the space station and the Hadron Collider."
After hearing this, Zhou Chengchengfu felt nervous and asked hurriedly.
These days, he was attending a meeting in Beijing and happened to receive an invitation from the "Road to Science" column team. Since he hasn't been very busy recently, he came over and took a look around.
“We don’t have to try every technical route. Instead of trying every possibility, we should focus our limited resources on the most likely directions.”
However, he was not yet halfway relieved, and he was destined not to be able to relax.

"... The report I saw in Jinling Daily said they seemed to have extended the magnetic confinement time to one hour... "
Hearing this question, Zhou Chengfu smiled and said modestly: "To say it is ignition is too exaggerated. After all, tritium is very expensive. Before solving the two problems of tritium retention and plasma irradiation damage to the first wall material, we generally They are all experiments with hydrogen.”
"It depends on what you compare it with. It's definitely a lot more expensive than studying mathematics, but it's still a little cheaper than the space station and the Hadron Collider."
