After all, there are only a few generalists who know everything.
Especially Director Lu's words of "full cooperation" made him angry and angry. He was obviously the first to do this, but in the end he became the stepmother.
Looking at Zhou Chengfu who looked as uncomfortable as eating a fly, he smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
"what's the result!"
Rubbing his chin gently with his index finger, Lu Zhou stared at some of the pictures carefully and continued, "The neutron irradiation ability of the fusion environment is too strong. Although SiC and porous mesh graphene aerogel are not transparent to the neutron beam, The performance was pretty good, but the neutron beam penetrating the material still formed multiple Frenkel defect pairs inside the material."
HL-2A is one of them, which naturally embodies the efforts of countless researchers.
Zhou Chengfu: "What the hell?"
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment and glanced at him in surprise.
"I'm going to use yours."
Judging from the data obtained so far, the performance of these materials in reactors is not very good.
After saving the data in the mobile hard drive, Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone without looking at Zhou Chengfu's face.
Zhou Chengfu's face gradually darkened and his voice gradually lowered.
Zhou Chengfu's old face turned the color of pig liver, and he subconsciously wanted to choke back.
Looking at the old gentleman's leaving figure, Lu Zhou lost the smile on his face and returned to his usual expression.
"... Our stellarator is still under maintenance, so we can only borrow your HL-2A. I have already applied for this matter, and the Energy Bureau has also given instructions. Director Lu said that you will fully cooperate with me. I can't wait to come over for the experiment. As for the written documents, they should arrive tomorrow at the latest." Sitting on the sofa in Zhou Chengfu's office, Lu Zhou casually explained his purpose and fiddled with the coffee table with interest. purple clay teapot, “This teapot of yours is quite beautiful, where did you buy it?”
"Is the Frenkel defect right? In the crystal structure, the atoms or ions that originally occupied a lattice point leave the lattice point and become interstitial atoms or ions, leaving a vacancy at the lattice point they originally occupied... It is considered very important in crystallography. That’s the basic concept.”
Almost squeezing these words out from between his teeth, Zhou Chengfu stared at Lu Zhou and said.
After hearing Lu Zhou's request, Zhou Chengfu almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
And when it came to money, Zhou Chengfu felt heartbroken.
With one sentence, Lu Zhou blocked all the words he had to say.
Counting the first ring of the University of Science and Technology under construction and several inertial restraint devices that have been transferred to the military industry, there are a total of 16 controllable nuclear fusion experimental devices in the country.
"I have read relevant papers, and the HL-2A's capabilities can completely achieve ignition conditions. I need to test the performance of the new material by simulating the neutron irradiation environment inside the reactor, so I can only leave it to you."
This time he brought more than 20 samples, all of which were installed on the surface of the first wall of the tokamak.
So, I can only say I'm sorry.
"I'm really into nuclear physics and plasma physics, not materials..."
"What about Science Island?" Zhou Chengfu was anxious, and in the spirit of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist, he said irritably, "You can also do that EAST on Science Island, why don't you-"
Hearing these words, Zhou Chengfu almost vomited blood out of anger.
Ignoring the resentment in the voice, Lu Zhou stared at the SEM image scanned by the scanning electron microscope solemnly for a long time, and finally sighed.
Lu Zhou was indifferent to Zhou Chengfu's roar and just smiled and continued.
Will you do it again in a while
He could understand this part, so Zhou Chengfu said with a livid face: "So what's the use of this thing of yours?"
However, at this moment, he suddenly thought that the guy in front of him was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and whatever he said seemed to be humiliating himself, so he swallowed back the words and only suppressed a small murmur.
As soon as he heard this sentence, Zhou Chengfu was furious.
Is it a matter of money
"Don't worry, don't worry about funding. The tritium consumed in the experiment will be provided by us. You just need to cooperate with our experiment."
What do you mean the situation is not very optimistic
With a cold snort, Zhou Chengfu stood up from the office chair, said nothing, and walked out of the office with a gloomy face.
"The situation is not very optimistic."
Staring at Lu Zhou, Zhou Chengfu said expressionlessly: "Aren't you working on a stellarator? What experiments are you doing here?"
"Anyway, I've probably offended you before, so I'll offend you again today."
"You're going to do a neutron irradiation experiment, why don't you go to Daya Bay?"
Seeing the tearful expression on the face of the technician responsible for repairing the equipment, Zhou Chengfu knew that this thing was probably done without even asking.
There might be a more tactful approach, but there was no way, he was pressed for time.
These images were obtained after the experimental reactor was shut down for cooling, and staff wearing chemical protective suits entered the reaction room and took the materials to a specialized department for testing.
As the overall person in charge of the project, he may know a little more, but his understanding will definitely not be that in-depth.
"snort."
Although he wanted to throw this guy and the dozens of samples into a tokamak to refine it, but he had done all the experiments, and he at least had to know that it was not in vain.
Lu Zhou shook his head: "Neither Daya Bay nor the neutron source in Dongguan can meet the requirements."
And this person is the one he least wants to see...
The latest research plan in international controlled fusion research is to build a point neutron source device based on D-Li interaction to simulate the neutron irradiation environment in the fusion reactor. So far, however, this device remains at the conceptual stage. Now it is mainly the Americans who are doing the research, and as for the specific stage of the research, they are probably the only ones who know.
What does it mean that the funds are provided by us
However, Lu Zhou did not expect that a single experiment would be successful. Any research would find a feasible path through repeated trials and errors.
…
"Don't forget the subject of computational materials, but I teach it."
Lu Zhou: "Pulse ignition."
What's more, the structural materials of HL-2A are not this stuff. He only heard about the use of ceramic matrix composite materials in reactor structural materials during meetings.
"You have to think clearly. If our HL-2A is destroyed in your hands, and your demonstration reactor is still unable to be built..."
Zhou Chengfu never expected that as soon as his plane landed and he rushed back to the Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics, an unexpected person would follow him.
"Whether it's useful or not depends on who uses it."
"For example, here, and here," Lu Zhou casually clicked on two locations on the image and said casually, regardless of whether Zhou Chengfu understood, "Have you seen these white spots? If you look at them together with the infrared spectrum detection data, you can infer The hydrogen element occupies the vacancies left by the displacement of the interstitial atoms. This indicates that the material's transmission rate for the neutron beam is not good enough, and the neutrons trapped inside the material decay."
The expression on his face did not change. Lu Zhou said, "I don't have to worry about it anymore. The responsibility is naturally mine."
Putting down the teapot in his hand, Lu Zhou stood up from the sofa.
However, there are only a few that can make the temperature in the reaction chamber reach hundreds of millions of degrees, which is the temperature at which DT fusion occurs.
"This is impossible! Are you fucking crazy to light a fire with an experimental pile?"
Lu Zhou stared at Lu Zhou angrily, and he was now filled with anger.
