Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 545: Core catcher

Views:

When Academician Wang said it was no problem, Lu Zhou felt relieved and nodded.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Chengfu slowly spoke.

After a while, he asked.

Passing through the center of the factory site, they happened to pass by a large pit at this time.

It is better to misunderstand this thing than to break the casserole and ask the truth.

If a leakage occurs, before the plasma cools to a safe temperature, it will basically melt whatever it encounters, and no material in the entire solar system can stop them.

Although Lu Zhou didn't mean to show off when he spoke, Zhou Chengfu couldn't help but say sour after hearing these words: "Have you built the reactor for all these fancy things?"

Thinking of what happened the last time he drew a picture, Lu Zhou probably guessed what caused him to have this misunderstanding.

In a sense, he is also a member of the house.

If you want to misunderstand me, just misunderstand him, it won't bother him anyway.

Seeing this, Zhou Chengfu suddenly felt a little melancholy.

"An expert is coming from the southwest."

While Lu Zhou continued to chat with Academician Wang about the technical details of the drawings, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"who?"

This is an irrefutable fact.

He didn't understand why a young man in his twenties could do this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it was true.

Zhou Chengfu nodded.

Lu Zhou: "..."

"That is?"

Continuing to look at the drawing in his hand, Academician Wang suddenly thought of something and spoke.

Just as Lao Pan didn't understand why he did this, he also didn't understand Lao Pan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou's face was full of surprise.

Lu Zhou naturally couldn't tell him the real answer, so he simply answered.

This matter needs to be mentioned with the group leaders.

The two of them walked side by side without much communication.

"come in."

In fact, Academician Wang is overthinking it. He doesn't particularly care about this. After all, compared with the huge market of lithium-sulfur batteries, the benefits that the first wall material of controllable nuclear fusion can bring to him can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Zhou Chengfu frowned as he looked at the engineering equipment being constructed nearby and the huge pit located in the center of the factory site.

At this moment, Zhou Chengfu's heart seemed to be filled with all kinds of emotions, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Feeling that he probably had something to say, Lu Zhou invited him, "Come and sit in my office for a while?"

"Have you even considered this part?"

Accompanied by Wang Peng, Lu Zhou approached and signaled the soldiers on guard duty to open the checkpoint. Looking at Zhou Chengfu standing there, Lu Zhou smiled and stretched out his right hand.

However, in reality, he did it...

Even if you add another zero at the end...

The entire demonstration reactor base is like a machine with full horsepower, and everyone in it is like a gear, running at high speed under the influence of an engine spindle.

In order to protect the expensive fusion core, the importance of this device has become highlighted.

Whether it is a tokamak or a stellarator, in terms of specific engineering, it can be understood as a larger core.

"Academician Zhou Chengfu..."

Lu Zhou smiled and ended the topic without further explanation.

Or is it unbelievable

The two of them stopped unconsciously beside the construction site. Zhou Chengfu seemed to not intend to continue walking. He just stood here, quietly looking up at the engineering equipment being cultivated on the construction site and the people walking on the edge of the scaffolding. Engineers.

If someone else had come up with this drawing, Academician Wang Zengguang would probably not have mentioned this, but Lu Zhou's identity was different after all.

He stood there stunned for a while, then came back to his senses and said with a smile.

He has not fully understood the technology of the experimental reactor, let alone the demonstration reactor.

"Who designed this thing?"

His eyes returned to the drawings. Academician Wang touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "It's a bit difficult, but it's not a big problem."

"No problem, I promise we will solve it as quickly as possible." At this point, Academician Wang suddenly glanced at Lu Zhou with a smile: "It seems that Professor Lu is really hiding his secrets."

If the patent fees for the LPC-1 material can make Lu Zhou a dime, then cooperating with a nuclear industry group to set up a factory will only turn this dime into 14 or 15 cents at most.

"Nice to meet you."

Lu Zhou: "Does this have anything to do with me?"

Since it was not a secret, Lu Zhou casually said: "The core collector is mainly used to prevent safety accidents, that is, to collect and cool the core outflow materials in the event of a serious accident... Although it is only a foundation now, it will be repaired within the year. There should be no problem.”

Especially the energy in the demonstration reactor was completely different from the ignition that Lu Zhou reluctantly carried out in the experimental reactor.

In order to make the atmosphere less tense, Lu Zhou thought for a while, tried to find a common topic, and spoke in a casual tone.

"Has HL-2A been repaired?"

Zhou Chengfu didn't speak this time.

However, it seems quite pointless to say this.

Academician Wang glanced at Lu Zhou suspiciously: "There must be someone who can make the decision after the discussion, right? A lot of people can discuss it and come up with nothing."

After learning about the value of the reactor when discussing the project plan, engineers from the Nuclear Industry Group immediately proposed to apply the core trap of the Tianwan Nuclear Power Station and the third-generation nuclear fission reactor to the fusion reactor.

Lu Zhou smiled and said nonchalantly: "The reactor is also being built, and the projects on both sides will not interfere with each other. We have unified the standards for the size of the connection ports, and we just need to get all the components completed, and then assemble them."

"That's fine."

After shaking hands with Lu Zhou, Zhou Chengfu didn't have much expression on his face. He looked very silent and cherished his words like gold.

Not to mention that the country will definitely not treat him badly based on this achievement. The impact of the breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology alone is enough to expand the market for lithium-sulfur batteries several times. Just a few patents on positive and negative electrode materials. The fee was enough to keep him full.

This person shouldn't think it was me who drew it, right

Although he came with the purpose of "peace", when he saw the smile that didn't want to be beaten, it took a lot of effort for him to restrain the urge to take action.

Feelings

What does it mean to be a chief designer

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled lightly.

He alone has the final say on how and where tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds should be spent. Coupled with the attention he received from the top management, even a giant in the nuclear power field like the Nuclear Industry Group was not willing to offend such a person easily.

But now, looking at everything in front of him, he suddenly understood.

"Rare visitor, nice to meet you."

This person really has hope that he can develop controllable nuclear fusion power generation technology in his lifetime.

Referring to the structure of the fission reactor, Zhou Chengfu guessed its purpose as soon as he heard the name and glanced at Lu Zhou in surprise.

As the saying goes, if you don’t understand, you have no right to speak. Academic matters are still very realistic here.

If this trend continues, maybe...

It happened that the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant had ready-made materials for reference, and Lu Zhou immediately made a decision.

emmm…

If he really wants to make money, he doesn't need to worry about these petty profits, he can just develop the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Damn, it seems quite attractive.

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's not our idea. It was proposed by the engineers of the Nuclear Industry Group. After thinking about it, I thought it made sense, so I approved it."

After all, he now has too much money in his bank card to spend.

Lu Zhou: "You are right in understanding this."

More than a thousand people are serving this machine.

After all, the inside of a controllable fusion reactor simulates the energy of a star. Even if the fusion reaction is theoretically safe, the hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma itself is a quite terrifying threat.

"Let's not delve into these minutiae. Rather than who made the decision, I want to know now that with this drawing, your Nuclear Industry Group is sure to master this production process."

After stopping the conversation, Lu Zhou looked at the door and said.

A group of people stood at the entrance of the demonstration reactor base.

"It was discussed in the office."

"By the way, although the controllable fusion project is a national matter, we still have a clear distinction between public and private. This technology was developed by your Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies with money and effort. It is not very good for us to use it for nothing. My The suggestion is to set up a factory together, with your technology as a stake and we will be responsible for implementing the production."

After hearing this suggestion, Lu Zhou didn't think much and replied: "Okay, that's it."

"These two thousand or so people are now working for you, right?"

Zhou Chengfu: “…”

There is nothing left to say.

The door opened and a researcher walked in.

Including what he sees in front of him and what he can't see standing here.

"Discussing" with the system can barely be considered a "discussion", right

Even if it is a one-time use, as long as some undamaged parts are rescued as soon as the accident occurs, it is worth it.

Zhou Chengfu was slightly stunned.

but…

"It's interesting." After flipping through the drawings handed over by Lu Zhou, Academician Wang Zengguang touched his chin with an interested look on his face.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Therefore, even though Lu Zhou didn't show any special care, Academician Wang subconsciously thought a little more deeply. In order not to plant hidden dangers for the future, at least he could not feel that he was at a disadvantage.

Looking at Lu Zhou, Zhou Chengfu said, "Have you ever thought about what if one day, they lose their money because of a decision of yours, a mistake of yours, or something someone else did? Work or project... I want to know, what would you do?"

It seemed that he did not expect Lu Zhou to say this.

"So I have never thought about being a leader. What I am responsible for is just to explore the unknown things. As for their own future, that is something they should think about themselves. I have no obligation to think for them. .”

Zhou Chengfu said with a straight face: "Thanks to you, not yet."

Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly: "That's really troublesome for you."

"...Oh? It has nothing to do with you? Haha, a leader who doesn't know how to benefit his subordinates is not a good leader."
