So, it should be an inertia constraint
"It's indeed a fusion battery!"
"OK."
But now was obviously not the time to talk about this, so he didn't think about it in depth. After asking about the reorganization of the STAR-2 project team, he continued.
Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "What's wrong with Professor Lu?"
Office of the Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study.
Lu Zhou: "It's me."
"Do you need a lot of people?"
Looking at Yang Xu who opened the door and walked in, Lu Zhou stopped the pen in his hand and cast a questioning look at him.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's eyes gradually brightened as he wrote on the draft paper with a pen.
Feng Shuqing didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, please give me your name."
After confirming this guess, Lu Zhou stared at the pictures on the screen carefully, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Have the analysis results come out?"
After confirming this guess, Lu Zhou stared at the pictures on the screen carefully, his eyes filled with excitement.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's eyes gradually brightened as he wrote on the draft paper with a pen.
For example, judging from the damage to the closed structure and the inner wall of the reactor, this small fusion reactor is probably a one-time use.
After hearing this question, a look of surprise appeared on Toyoki Kiyo's face and he spoke.
Feng Shuqing didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, please give me your name."
After confirming this guess, Lu Zhou stared at the pictures on the screen carefully, his eyes filled with excitement.
Watching the office door close again, Lu Zhou connected the USB flash drive to his laptop, clicked on the folder, and looked at the pictures carefully.
As for shielding materials, heating components, heat exchange systems, and observation systems for monitoring the operation of the reactor core, these relatively expensive designs can be integrated into the engine itself and serve as the "battery slot" part of the reactor core together with the generator set. .
He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and placed it on Lu Zhou's desk. Yang Xu said, "All the information is in it."
Of course, what is said here is not outrageous, it is just relative to the mature second-generation controllable fusion technology.
After confirming this guess, Lu Zhou stared at the pictures on the screen carefully, his eyes filled with excitement.
Lu Zhou continued to ask: "Where is the original?"
Office of the Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study.
In another case, the high-energy proton beam directly penetrates the inner wall and remains inside the material.
The nuclear fuel used is most likely tritium and helium-3, which release protons in the fusion reaction!
Controlling the excitement in his heart, he crumpled the manuscript paper on the table into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he took out his mobile phone, opened his address book and dialed a number.
Yang Xu: "It has been backed up to the database... Are there any problems?"
Yang Xu: "It has been backed up to the database... Are there any problems?"
"Hello?"
Controlling the excitement in his heart, he crumpled the manuscript paper on the table into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he took out his mobile phone, opened his address book and dialed a number.
"The design concept is to integrate fuel inside the core, and use the double-layer structure design to control the space size of the intermediate reaction chamber and the fuel consumption rate, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the engine power... In this way, this core should not be continuously ignited. , but pulse ignition."
Lu Zhou: "Destroy it."
Lu Zhou: "How is the reorganization of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project team going?"
The technical route is already very clear!
"Just keep an eye on things at East Asia Electric Power Company and start working according to the instructions of the top management. I called today mainly to talk about another thing. I have a new research project here, which needs to be started from the original STAR -Deploy some technicians from the -2 project team."
"On miniaturization of controlled fusion."
Pulse ignition, inertial restraint...
But now was obviously not the time to talk about this, so he didn't think about it in depth. After asking about the reorganization of the STAR-2 project team, he continued.
Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask for a reason and just nodded.
Hearing these words, Feng Shuqing was slightly stunned.
Lu Zhou continued to ask: "Where is the original?"
In this case, there is at least a 90% chance that the remains of the Hall thruster lying in his underground laboratory used fusion nuclear energy.
The technical route is already very clear!
"On miniaturization of controlled fusion."
"It's indeed a fusion battery!"
"OK."
Looking at Yang Xu who opened the door and walked in, Lu Zhou stopped the pen in his hand and cast a questioning look at him.
"Do you need a lot of people?"
But now was obviously not the time to talk about this, so he didn't think about it in depth. After asking about the reorganization of the STAR-2 project team, he continued.
Although he found a structure similar to a superconducting magnet on the remains of the Hall thruster, that scale was obviously not enough to restrain plasma with a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees. And in space, the superconducting magnet is in direct contact with the ionization chamber, and its real function is probably to provide an alternating magnetic field for the Hall propulsion unit...
Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask for a reason and just nodded.

If we do not consider the bombardment of high-energy proton beams and the radiation damage to materials caused by a small amount of neutrons produced by tritium-tritium reactions, as well as the economic benefits of long-term operation, many complex designs such as liquid lithium neutron recovery systems can be used. Just omit it.
After coming out of the underground laboratory yesterday morning, he took a few fragments removed from the arc-shaped double-layer structure between the fuel tank and the temperature exchanger and took them to Yang Xu to measure the characteristic peaks of the infrared spectrum. analyzed, and took transmission electron microscopy pictures.
Hearing these words, Feng Shuqing was slightly stunned.
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize the meaning of this sentence for a while.
Toyoki Kiyoshi: "...???"
Judging from the situation in several pictures, his guess was indeed confirmed.
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said.

East Asia Electric Power can be separated from the STAR-2 project team."
Judging from the fact that the hydrogen elements and swollen structures inside the material are basically distributed in the shallow area, and comparing the penetrating power of neutrons and protons, Lu Zhou can basically infer that these swollen structures are most likely mainly caused by the latter situation. caused.
"However, the fusion battery on the Hall thruster wreckage probably did not use magnetic confinement. It should be another technical route."
Although the broken nanoceramic composite material has become brittle and it is difficult to deduce its original structural characteristics, judging from the carbon residue inside it, it can be basically concluded that it is some kind of composite material that has anisotropic heat conduction and is resistant to high temperatures.

Looking at Yang Xu who opened the door and walked in, Lu Zhou stopped the pen in his hand and cast a questioning look at him.
"It's indeed a fusion battery!"
He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and placed it on Lu Zhou's desk. Yang Xu said, "All the information is in it."
Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "What's wrong with Professor Lu?"
Although the broken nanoceramic composite material has become brittle and it is difficult to deduce its original structural characteristics, judging from the carbon residue inside it, it can be basically concluded that it is some kind of composite material that has anisotropic heat conduction and is resistant to high temperatures. Material.
Having said this, Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "I wonder if Professor Lu is ready to get on the bus? If not, I can be two days late."
Toyoki Kiyoshi: "...???"
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize the meaning of this sentence for a while.
Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask for a reason and just nodded.
If we do not consider the bombardment of high-energy proton beams and the radiation damage to materials caused by a small amount of neutrons produced by tritium-tritium reactions, as well as the economic benefits of long-term operation, many complex designs such as liquid lithium neutron recovery systems can be used. Just omit it.
Looking at Yang Xu who opened the door and walked in, Lu Zhou stopped the pen in his hand and cast a questioning look at him.
But now was obviously not the time to talk about this, so he didn't think about it in depth. After asking about the reorganization of the STAR-2 project team, he continued.
It's like using aerospace fuel to generate electricity for civilian facilities...
Lu Zhou: "How is the reorganization of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project team going?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while and continued: "There may be a lot of names, and it may not be clear on the phone. I will make a list of the specific people needed and send it to your work email."
The technical route is already very clear!
"Just keep an eye on things at East Asia Electric Power Company and start working according to the instructions of the top management. I called today mainly to talk about another thing. I have a new research project here, which needs to be started from the original STAR -Deploy some technicians from the -2 project team."
The nuclear fuel used is most likely tritium and helium-3, which release protons in the fusion reaction!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's eyes gradually brightened as he wrote on the draft paper with a pen.
As for shielding materials, heating components, heat exchange systems, and observation systems for monitoring the operation of the reactor core, these relatively expensive designs can be integrated into the engine itself and serve as the "battery slot" part of the reactor core together with the generator set. .
Lu Zhou thought for a while and continued: "There may be a lot of names, and it may not be clear on the phone. I will make a list of the specific people needed and send it to your work email."
Lu Zhou: "Destroy it."
Lu Zhou continued to ask: "Where is the original?"
If you think about it this way, the engineering difficulty of this one-time fusion power supply structure should not be too high...
The technical route is already very clear!
Feng Shuqing didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, please give me your name."
Lu Zhou: "Destroy it."
Isn’t that much
"On miniaturization of controlled fusion."
In one case, these hydrogen elements are formed by the decay of neutrons that penetrate the material.
Judging from the situation in several pictures, his guess was indeed confirmed.
Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "What's wrong with Professor Lu?"
Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "What's wrong with Professor Lu?"
Pulse ignition, inertial restraint...
Lu Zhou thought for a while and continued: "There may be a lot of names, and it may not be clear on the phone. I will make a list of the specific people needed and send it to your work email."
After confirming this guess, Lu Zhou stared at the pictures on the screen carefully, his eyes filled with excitement.
Feng Shuqing didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, please give me your name."
Judging from the fact that the hydrogen elements and swollen structures inside the material are basically distributed in the shallow area, and comparing the penetrating power of neutrons and protons, Lu Zhou can basically infer that these swollen structures are most likely mainly caused by the latter situation. caused.
Hearing these words, Feng Shuqing was slightly stunned.
Of course, what is said here is not outrageous, it is just relative to the mature second-generation controllable fusion technology.
Especially for the sampling of inner layer materials, through transmission electron microscopy observation, it can be clearly observed that there are residual hydrogen elements in the defect structures inside several samples.
"The design concept is to integrate fuel inside the core, and use the double-layer structure design to control the space size of the intermediate reaction chamber and the fuel consumption rate, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the engine power... In this way, this core should not be continuously ignited. , but pulse ignition."
"Do you need a lot of people?"
After hearing this question, a look of surprise appeared on Toyoki Kiyo's face and he spoke.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's eyes gradually brightened as he wrote on the draft paper with a pen.
"The work of employee placement, asset inventory and property rights definition has basically been completed. The relevant documents have been handed over to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Now we are waiting for the working group from Beijing to come over to inspect the situation. If there are no major problems, it will be completed within one week at the latest. East Asia Electric Power can be separated from the STAR-2 project team."
Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "What's wrong with Professor Lu?"

Lu Zhou: "It's not that many, maybe ten."
"Hello?"
As for shielding materials, heating components, heat exchange systems, and observation systems for monitoring the operation of the reactor core, these relatively expensive designs can be integrated into the engine itself and serve as the "battery slot" part of the reactor core together with the generator set. .

Watching the office door close again, Lu Zhou connected the USB flash drive to his laptop, clicked on the folder, and looked at the pictures carefully.

Office of the Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study.
It's like using aerospace fuel to generate electricity for civilian facilities...
That is, the fuel is directly integrated into the core and the entire core is discarded directly after use.
With a bitter smile in his heart, Feng Shuqing asked cautiously.
The bell rang for three seconds and was quickly answered. Secretary Feng's voice came from the other side.
In another case, the high-energy proton beam directly penetrates the inner wall and remains inside the material.
"Can I ask what the project is?"
This may sound wasteful, but in fact it is the most feasible approach.
Having said this, Feng Shuqing smiled and said, "I wonder if Professor Lu is ready to get on the bus? If not, I can be two days late."

With a bitter smile in his heart, Feng Shuqing asked cautiously.
Lu Zhou: "It's me."
Judging from the situation in several pictures, his guess was indeed confirmed.
If this "throw away after use" disposable design concept is used to design a second-generation controllable fusion reactor, the engineering difficulty will probably not be very high, and it will even be more difficult than the STAR-2 demonstration reactor using DT fusion. To put it simply, the cost of generating electricity will be unacceptably high.
Toyoki Kiyoshi: "...???"
Lu Zhou continued to ask: "Where is the original?"
"It's indeed a fusion battery!"
"OK."
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize the meaning of this sentence for a while.
