Across the Pacific, it was still noon.
Just when Paul was about to remind him, "You drank too much," he said a little abruptly.
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Well, it's the tenth week soon, and your computing materials class is about to start. This is your class schedule."
After sending the email, Sarote went to the bar and got drunk.
"It would be great if we could have a controlled fusion reaction that releases heat slowly."
After all, can nuclear fusion really be miniaturized like nuclear fission
"Where to go? Professor Lu's laboratory?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huan nodded.
Sitting next to him in a bar on the edge of Silicon Valley, his assistant Paul looked at him and sighed, comforting him.
In order to keep a clear head during the experiment, he had never had the habit of drinking at noon, but this time he made an exception.
In fact, Assistant Zhao's intuition was not wrong. Lu Zhou's current mood was indeed not very good, and could even be said to be a little irritable.
Is the inertial constraint route really feasible for miniaturized controllable fusion
However, apart from inertial constraints, they seem to have no more options. After all, there is simply not enough space on a small spacecraft to create a closed magnetic cage that is enough to restrain the plasma.
Sitting next to him in a bar on the edge of Silicon Valley, his assistant Paul looked at him and sighed, comforting him.
The research on fusion batteries has hit a bottleneck, and the problem of core heat dissipation seems to have become a difficult problem to solve, so that many people within the project team have begun to doubt the technical route itself.
Just when Paul was about to remind him, "You drank too much," he said a little abruptly.
On the podium, there was a professor he didn't know standing on the podium, and he was probably talking about physics.
Through the glass on the wall, he could clearly see that the students in the classroom were listening attentively.
"If you think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing that your laboratory was sold to ExxonMobil. Although Professor Lu is a very good... or a great scholar, he actually doesn't have many resources for you. . What’s more, Exxon Mobil spent 50 million to buy us, certainly not just to keep us on the bench... "
However, it was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the seemingly feasible path in front of him.
"In short, being rich is not a bad thing."
After walking through the tree-lined path, Lu Zhou, who was thinking about the problem, unknowingly walked to the place where he usually lectures.
Seeing that Professor Sarote had no reaction at all, Paul knew that his comfort was probably ineffective, so he shrugged and ended the topic forcibly.
"Where to go? Professor Lu's laboratory?"
Walking on the tree-lined path of the campus, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and shook his head when he thought of Lu Zhou.
Paul frowned and asked: "Isn't it free now?"
After sending the email, Sarote went to the bar and got drunk.
"In short, being rich is not a bad thing."
After all, can nuclear fusion really be miniaturized like nuclear fission
Vaguely, Lu Zhou felt that the bottleneck did not seem to be in the engineering field, but in the theoretical field.
After not speaking for a while, Sarote placed the empty wine bottle next to the stool and picked up another bottle.
Paul frowned and asked: "Isn't it free now?"
Sarote grinned.
"After some time, I plan to immigrate."
Vaguely, Lu Zhou felt that the bottleneck did not seem to be in the engineering field, but in the theoretical field.
"I understand, just leave the class schedule here," Lu Zhou stood up from his office chair and sighed, "... I'm going for a walk. If you need anything, call me."
Sarote grinned.

"You do not understand."
Sarote didn't explain anything. He just raised the bottle and took a few sips while talking about other things.
However, this does not fundamentally solve the problem.
"I understand, just leave the class schedule here," Lu Zhou stood up from his office chair and sighed, "... I'm going for a walk. If you need anything, call me."
Or, make the area of pulse ignition small enough...

Paul: "...What don't I understand?"
On the podium, there was a professor he didn't know standing on the podium, and he was probably talking about physics.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the office and leaning on the office chair, turned his pen in his hand and muttered to himself at the ceiling.

His intuition told him that the research idea he chose was correct.

Using the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the spacecraft to generate electricity may improve the efficiency of converting thermal energy into electrical energy to a limited extent, but it does not change the fact that heat removal is difficult.

His intuition told him that the research idea he chose was correct.

Walking on the tree-lined path of the campus, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and shook his head when he thought of Lu Zhou.
It is only after these theoretical problems have been solved that the realization of controllable fusion technology has a sufficient theoretical foundation.
However, what is the theoretical bottleneck in the miniaturization of controllable fusion
"I understand, just leave the class schedule here," Lu Zhou stood up from his office chair and sighed, "... I'm going for a walk. If you need anything, call me."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the professor was not in a good mood.
However, it was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the seemingly feasible path in front of him.
Sarote, who was holding the bottle of wine, thought for a while and scratched his hair in despair, "Maybe it's the Netherlands? I heard from my father that our ancestors lived in a small town in the province of Utrecht until the Germans bombed Rotterdam. ... But I have never been there. Utrecht University sent me an invitation a long time ago, asking me to be a professor there, but the salary they offered was too low, and the resources were not as good as what Cornell University gave me... But now I think about it, if I had accepted that invitation, maybe the situation wouldn’t be so bad?”
If this bottleneck is indeed theoretical...
Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and without any hesitation, he walked towards the back door of the classroom.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the professor was not in a good mood.
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Well, it's the tenth week soon, and your computing materials class is about to start. This is your class schedule."
Paul frowned and asked: "Isn't it free now?"
"After some time, I plan to immigrate."
Moreover, this kind of difficulty is not like that of a stellarator for a tokamak, which can bypass phenomena such as magnetic islands and magnetic surface tearing in plasma physics from an engineering perspective, and transfer theoretical problems to engineering difficulties. As well as cost.
Paul frowned and asked: "Isn't it free now?"
"I understand, just leave the class schedule here," Lu Zhou stood up from his office chair and sighed, "... I'm going for a walk. If you need anything, call me."
“Is scientific research efficiency penalized due to advanced research?”
"Where to go? Professor Lu's laboratory?"
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the professor was not in a good mood.
Probably the year before last, when he had just come into contact with the research on controllable nuclear fusion, he encountered a similar situation.
In fact, these papers did inspire him.
“Is scientific research efficiency penalized due to advanced research?”
"Yeah." Zhao Huan nodded.
"It would be great if we could have a controlled fusion reaction that releases heat slowly."
At that time, the topological research methods of L-manifolds and partial differential equations had not yet been proposed. The existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation, as well as the theoretical model of plasma turbulence, were two unsolved problems in mathematics and physics. mystery of.

Zhao Huan, holding a document bag on his chest and standing in front of his desk, was looking at him curiously.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the professor was not in a good mood.
The inspiration flashed away in the dark.
In fact, these papers did inspire him.
In order to seek inspiration for solving the problem, Lu Zhou has collected a large number of papers related to aerospace, fission batteries, and space station heat dissipation technology these days, trying to get inspiration from some public research materials.
Sarote, who was holding the bottle of wine, thought for a while and scratched his hair in despair, "Maybe it's the Netherlands?

And without these theories as a basis, it would be almost impossible to achieve those impressive results, whether it is Germany's Helix 7-X or his modified STAR-1 stellarator device.

For example, a paper on "First-principles study of phonons in α-boron and its icosahedral boron-rich compounds" not only discusses the scattering phenomenon of phonons caused by electrons, but also provides an interesting thermoelectric conversion model. .

Moreover, this kind of difficulty is not like that of a stellarator for a tokamak, which can bypass phenomena such as magnetic islands and magnetic surface tearing in plasma physics from an engineering perspective, and transfer theoretical problems to engineering difficulties. As well as cost.
However, it was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the seemingly feasible path in front of him.
Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and without any hesitation, he walked towards the back door of the classroom.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the office and leaning on the office chair, turned his pen in his hand and muttered to himself at the ceiling.
Probably the year before last, when he had just come into contact with the research on controllable nuclear fusion, he encountered a similar situation.
Paul didn't say anything, he just looked at Professor Sarote in confusion.
"After some time, I plan to immigrate."
His intuition told him that the research idea he chose was correct.
The most troubling thing is that if a magnetic field is not used to withstand the energy that exceeds the star, what kind of material can withstand that moment of heat
“Is scientific research efficiency penalized due to advanced research?”
"Where to go? Professor Lu's laboratory?"
In order to seek inspiration for solving the problem, Lu Zhou has collected a large number of papers related to aerospace, fission batteries, and space station heat dissipation technology these days, trying to get inspiration from some public research materials.

Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and without any hesitation, he walked towards the back door of the classroom.
The research on fusion batteries has hit a bottleneck, and the problem of core heat dissipation seems to have become a difficult problem to solve, so that many people within the project team have begun to doubt the technical route itself.
Walking on the tree-lined path of the campus, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and shook his head when he thought of Lu Zhou.
"After some time, I plan to immigrate."
Probably the year before last, when he had just come into contact with the research on controllable nuclear fusion, he encountered a similar situation.
After walking through the tree-lined path, Lu Zhou, who was thinking about the problem, unknowingly walked to the place where he usually lectures.
"I understand, just leave the class schedule here," Lu Zhou stood up from his office chair and sighed, "... I'm going for a walk. If you need anything, call me."
Probably the year before last, when he had just come into contact with the research on controllable nuclear fusion, he encountered a similar situation.
Lu Zhou: "Nothing... Is there something wrong?"
At that time, the topological research methods of L-manifolds and partial differential equations had not yet been proposed. The existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation, as well as the theoretical model of plasma turbulence, were two unsolved problems in mathematics and physics. mystery of.

“Is scientific research efficiency penalized due to advanced research?”
"Professor, what are you talking about?"
It is only after these theoretical problems have been solved that the realization of controllable fusion technology has a sufficient theoretical foundation.
"You do not understand."
After not speaking for a while, Sarote placed the empty wine bottle next to the stool and picked up another bottle.
Through the glass on the wall, he could clearly see that the students in the classroom were listening attentively.
And without these theories as a basis, it would be almost impossible to achieve those impressive results, whether it is Germany's Helix 7-X or his modified STAR-1 stellarator device.
"It would be great if we could have a controlled fusion reaction that releases heat slowly."
Through the glass on the wall, he could clearly see that the students in the classroom were listening attentively.
Vaguely, Lu Zhou felt that the bottleneck did not seem to be in the engineering field, but in the theoretical field.
However, what is the theoretical bottleneck in the miniaturization of controllable fusion
"You do not understand."
Seeing that Professor Sarote had no reaction at all, Paul knew that his comfort was probably ineffective, so he shrugged and ended the topic forcibly.
If this bottleneck is indeed theoretical...
Or, make the area of pulse ignition small enough...
Is the inertial constraint route really feasible for miniaturized controllable fusion
"Where to go? Professor Lu's laboratory?"
"Maybe," Sarote sighed, looking up at the ceiling, "but when you reach my level, when your research or behavior has become a gear that pushes the world forward... you They may have different feelings about their understanding of freedom.”
On the podium, there was a professor he didn't know standing on the podium, and he was probably talking about physics.
In fact, Assistant Zhao's intuition was not wrong. Lu Zhou's current mood was indeed not very good, and could even be said to be a little irritable.
After walking through the tree-lined path, Lu Zhou, who was thinking about the problem, unknowingly walked to the place where he usually lectures.
On the podium, there was a professor he didn't know standing on the podium, and he was probably talking about physics.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the professor was not in a good mood.
Sitting next to him in a bar on the edge of Silicon Valley, his assistant Paul looked at him and sighed, comforting him.

"Yeah." Zhao Huan nodded.

Paul: "...What don't I understand?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huan nodded.
Through the glass on the wall, he could clearly see that the students in the classroom were listening attentively.
"My dear Paul, I have always believed that academics should be a free thing. As long as it does not violate the most basic human ethics, even if it is a less correct view, as long as you believe it is right, you should advocate it .The more people don’t believe you, the more you should prove to them that you are right.”

However, just as he was about to leave, from the corner of his eye scanning the blackboard, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few key words.
However, it was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the seemingly feasible path in front of him.
Zhao Huan, holding a document bag on his chest and standing in front of his desk, was looking at him curiously.
In order to seek inspiration for solving the problem, Lu Zhou has collected a large number of papers related to aerospace, fission batteries, and space station heat dissipation technology these days, trying to get inspiration from some public research materials.
For example, a paper on "First-principles study of phonons in α-boron and its icosahedral boron-rich compounds" not only discusses the scattering phenomenon of phonons caused by electrons, but also provides an interesting thermoelectric conversion model. .
Probably the year before last, when he had just come into contact with the research on controllable nuclear fusion, he encountered a similar situation.
At this time, a voice from the side interrupted his thoughts.
In fact, Assistant Zhao's intuition was not wrong. Lu Zhou's current mood was indeed not very good, and could even be said to be a little irritable.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the office and leaning on the office chair, turned his pen in his hand and muttered to himself at the ceiling.
The inspiration flashed away in the dark.
Sarote didn't explain anything. He just raised the bottle and took a few sips while talking about other things.
Lu Zhou: "Nothing... Is there something wrong?"
In other words, there is no sufficient theoretical basis to support his research on controllable fusion miniaturization.
"If you think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing that your laboratory was sold to ExxonMobil. Although Professor Lu is a very good... or a great scholar, he actually doesn't have many resources for you. . What’s more, Exxon Mobil spent 50 million to buy us, certainly not just to keep us on the bench... "
Just when Paul was about to remind him, "You drank too much," he said a little abruptly.
Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and without any hesitation, he walked towards the back door of the classroom.

Paul frowned and asked: "Isn't it free now?"
