Chapter 413: Big news?

Views:

At the Hui Provincial Academy of Sciences, several engineers at the core of the Tokamak project were gathered around a desk, discussing materials intensely.

The information they were surrounding was Chen Mo's controlled nuclear fusion theory.

As soon as Li Chengzhi sent back the theoretical materials, they concentrated on studying these materials.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

"It seems that there is a reason why Academician Chen is so confident in studying controlled nuclear fusion technology."

"If this theory is published as a paper, I am afraid it will bring a new direction to nuclear fusion research. A brand-new formula will appear. I have to say that Academician Chen is a genius. This theory may make our Toca Mark’s experimental research reaches a new level.”

"Don't think about publishing it. This information is top secret. Although the ITER project allows us to join, it has always excluded us Chinese scientists from the core department.

The ITER project will not be of much help to us. Russia and the United States are both making small plans in private. This information is our trump card to stay ahead. Moreover, if we publish the information and Academician Chen pursues the case, we will not be able to protect him until later. "An old academician said seriously.

"Lao He is just hypothetical. He is praising Academician Chen's brilliance. Don't take it seriously. But looking at these theories, I want to join their project."

"Our project is a project for the whole of China, and Academician Chen's project is a semi-private project. There is too little talent in this field, and we can't distinguish too much from the past. Lao Wan's past is already the limit. Let's eat this theory first and see if we can New optimization of the tokamak device. I feel that this theory will bring new breakthroughs to our tokamak experiments." Li Jian interjected.

Just a theory gave them a new understanding of controlled nuclear fusion. Several old academicians and engineers on the scene were discussing and understanding the beauty of the theory.

They may not be the top scientists in the pyramid in the field of nuclear fusion research, but China's development of controlled nuclear fusion technology has always been at the forefront of the world, relying on the wisdom of the team.

Because controlled fusion technology is destined not to be a personal honor, nor can it publish any technical papers to the outside world. No matter who makes a new discovery, it is the honor of their entire team.

Of course, the person who breaks the bottleneck will naturally be rewarded.

Wan Yuanxi sent a partial theoretical copy of controlled nuclear fusion back to the Science Island Research Institute in Hui Province of the Academy of Sciences. This was approved by Chen Mo.

Because the core technology of [Star Ring] is still in his hands. Those theories are equivalent to a few important papers at most.

Turning theory into technology is obviously not that simple, so Chen Mo is not worried that [Star Ring] technology will be leaked.

And not long after, a piece of news came.

Zhao Min's holographic projection appeared next to Chen Mo, asking Chen Mo to stop what he was doing: "Just now, Yang Mingzhe received news that the [Star Halo] parts ordered from the Nuclear Industry Group have been shipped to Science Island."

"We're finally here, we have something to do next," Chen Mo said.

After the team from the Academy of Sciences went to Binhai Science Island, under Chen Mo's arrangement, they were studying relevant theories and preparing for the construction of the [Star Ring]. Now that the parts of the [Star Ring] have arrived, it is time to build it.

"I'm going to visit Science Island. Do you want to go there and have a look together?"

"Okay." Zhao Min nodded.

"Mo Girl, notify the people from the Transportation Department to come over and transport the prepared [Star Ring] parts to Science Island."

"Already notified."

Chen Mo took off his lab coat and left Building 1.

After preparing for so long, today finally arrived. Next, we have to assemble the [Star Ring] device.

As soon as Chen Mo arrived at the door of Building 1, Zhao Min also appeared. Dressed in a professional OL, he outlined his CEO-like temperament and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Not long after the two stood still, staff and security personnel from the transportation department of Marching Ant Company also came to the warehouse door of Building 1.

Under the guidance of the robot, three special containers containing [Star Ring] components were loaded onto the vehicle.

Chen Mo and Zhao Min, together with the transport convoy and security convoy, headed for Science Island.

In front of the convoy, three motorcycle police officers opened the way, four security convoys from the Marching Ant Company, two special police vehicles at the rear, and two security convoys from the Marching Ant Company.

Including the special cars that Chen Mo and Zhao Min were in, a total of more than a dozen cars lined up in a long queue, and the mighty formation attracted the attention of people on the roadside.

"Good guys, are the Army Ant Company planning to make any big moves again?"

"That's the direction to Science Island. The convoy should be going to Science Island and the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute."

"Special police escort, it's like the police in Binhai City are all members of the Army Ant Company."

"Don't be so upset! Science Island is a semi-official project between Army Ant and the Academy of Sciences. Isn't it normal for such an important technology to be escorted by special police? You have technology worth hundreds of billions, so you can have it escorted by the police."

People on the road saw the Army Ant logo on the container and knew that this was an important technology of the Army Ant Company.

This scene was naturally photographed by passers-by and posted on the Internet.

It’s just that no one knows what’s inside the special container. Such a large battle has still caused a lot of speculation on the Internet.

These things have nothing to do with Chen Mo.

Twenty minutes later, the long motorcade passed through the gate leading to the Science Island Road Bridge and entered the Science Island.

On the coast, Dong Quan held a telescope and looked at the small island the convoy entered.

Having been here for more than half a year, he is also aware of the changes on the island.

The construction of the research institute is much faster than expected. Judging from the current situation, the main research institute on Science Island has been completed, and the team from the Academy of Sciences has also settled in Science Island. Two convoys entered the Science Island today. It was obvious that there was something big going on in the Science Island.

But he had no way of knowing how far the project research had reached.

After a long time, Dong Quan put down the telescope and focused on the fishing rod. This matter was impossible in a short time and could only be planned slowly.

Not only Dong Quan, but also with the emergence of science island, some people who are interested in nuclear fusion technology have turned their attention to science island.

On Science Island, Wan Yuanxi and other team members were already waiting at the research institute.

They all know that the parts of [Star Halo] have arrived, and the next step is to assemble [Star Halo]. They have been studying here for so long, and finally put it to use.

As soon as the convoy arrived outside the research institute, Wan Yuanxi stared at the container with the Army Ant Company logo printed on the truck, impatiently. After coming here, he really saw Chen Mo's various skills, many of which he was very greedy for.

In controlled nuclear fusion technology, the biggest problems now are the field system, tritium self-sustainment and the divertor material of the first wall.

Tritium self-sustainability has been solved in Chen Mo's theory, and the material of the divertor is also a top priority. This is a key component to maintain the long-term stability of the fusion reaction.

As the first wall of the reactor, the material of the divertor needs to have thermal fatigue properties with long-term temperatures above 800 degrees Celsius, the ability to withstand the high temperature of 2000-3000 degrees Celsius at the moment of plasma burst, and the ability to withstand neutrons Low activation of radiation capabilities and plasma radiation capabilities, etc.

Research by their academy of sciences has made breakthroughs in divertor materials, but Chen Mo used his own divertor materials. He was very curious about what new materials the army ants developed.

In addition, there is also a field system. In current experiments, only superconducting materials can provide a strong enough constraining magnetic field. If it is not a superconducting material, the constraining magnetic field is not strong enough, and it is technically difficult to achieve.

Chen Mo's [Star Ring] design does not have an ultra-low temperature system, and it obviously does not have a low-temperature superconductor. He also wanted to know what materials the field system would use.

"Is there a divertor and field system in here?"

"Yes, all the core components of [Star Ring] are inside." Chen Mo nodded.

"Can I know what materials are used in the divertor and field systems?"

"The bottom of the furnace is made of gallium-copper-graphite-tungsten alloy, with rare earths and some other heat-resistant metal elements added to synthesize a new type of liquid metal that has some of the properties of gallium and the thermal fatigue properties of tungsten. The furnace walls are finely crystalline. Tungsten copper alloy." Chen Mo said.

The liquid metal of the divertor is a technology carried in the light nuclear fusion technology provided by the Science and Technology Library. There are many liquid metal technologies like this in the Science and Technology Library, and Chen Mo can synthesize them at any time.

"Liquid metal? You actually developed liquid metal for the divertor?"

Wan Yuanxi's voice broke with deep shock. If this news were announced, it would probably cause a shock in the field of nuclear fusion research.

"Where are the materials for the system?"

"It will be kept secret for now." Chen Mo showed a mysterious smile to Wan Yuanxi.

Regarding the room-temperature superconducting materials, he should wait until the [Star Ring] is completed before thinking about whether to make it public or not. Now is not the time. He has to concentrate on dealing with the [Star Ring].

After talking to Wan Yuanxi, he walked towards the other members of the team. When the rest of the team saw Chen Mo approaching, they immediately cheered up and looked at him directly.

"After these few days of study, you should master the work you are responsible for. Next, there will be robots working with you to start building the [Star Ring]. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, and I will also be on hand to give instructions. Remember. , to ensure that there are no mistakes in the process.”
