Chapter 414: Star Pillar

Views:

In the early morning, Chen Mo came out of the room and saw Xiao Yu, with a pregnant belly, setting tableware at the dining table.

Xiaoyu is now five months pregnant, and her belly is already clearly bulging. At this time, Xiaoyu's face has a maternal temperament, and she is in a very good mood.

"Okay, let me do the rest. Sit tight." Chen Mo walked behind Xiaoyu, helped her sit down, and reached out to gently touch her belly: "You are pregnant, don't be too tired, there are robots and Where’s the nanny?”

"This is just something you do occasionally. It's not a heavy job. Pregnant women should also move, right? Otherwise, if you don't do anything, you will really become a useless person." Xiaoyu put his hands on his belly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Okay, you are reasonable. Let's have breakfast first. Remember not to be too tired at home, otherwise my mother will scold me to death if she finds out." Chen Mo filled a bowl of porridge for Xiao Yu and handed it over.

After breakfast, Xiaoyu tidied Chen Mo's shirt: "Don't work too hard, take care of your health, and come back early tonight."

"Okay, have a good rest at home. If you need anything, let the nanny or Pearl do it. If you want anything, just call me."

"I understand. I want to give the baby prenatal education and give you a smart son when the time comes."

"I like girls. If a son is too smart, the mother will become stupid."

"Really?"

"You see, I'm starting to get stupid now. So it's better to have a girl, otherwise I'll be stupid for three years after being pregnant." Chen Mo stroked Xiaoyu's green hair.

Xiaoyu wrinkled his nose and said: "I like my son, he is as stupid as he can be."

"Stay at home. I'll come back early to accompany you tonight." Chen Mo kissed Xiaoyu's forehead, turned and left the villa, heading to Science Island.

"Xiao Jing, you said that Academician Chen is so powerful, why hasn't he won an international award? Nor other famous awards?" An ordinary-looking female doctor with a few freckles on her face asked Bai Lijing next to her.

"Academician Chen is all about technology development and has not published technical papers to the outside world. His research is not for winning awards, so this should be normal, right?" Baili Jing, who was wearing a ponytail, said.

"Indeed, from what you said, it's true that Academician Chen has never published any papers." Another female researcher beside him nodded.

"Do you think [Star Ring] can be successful?"

"Although I admire Academician Chen very much, controlled nuclear fusion is not an ordinary technology. ITER, which used the help of the world's top physicists, has not succeeded. [Star Ring] was designed by Academician Chen alone. How difficult is this

The hyperring project was successfully designed by concentrating the wisdom of the Academy of Sciences. If nothing else, divertor materials and superconducting technology are both problems. Without these technologies, it is a question whether [Star Ring] can provide a strong enough magnetic field to maintain the steady operation of the reaction. "

"But Academician Chen has invested tens of billions in this project. Do you think Academician Chen will spend money on these unfeasible theories?"

"A problem that cannot be solved by the world's top physicists. Do you think it can be solved with money? If it can, it is not a problem. In a short period of time, there should not be any big breakthroughs in technology. We will do it step by step. , in more than ten years, maybe with Academician Chen’s wisdom, we can make a breakthrough. But we all know that Academician Chen is not a high-temperature plasma professional, and he is as different as a mountain."

On the way to the [Star Ring] laboratory, the team members began to discuss each other word by word.

There were technical issues and gossip issues, including why Chen Mo got married so early, all were among their topics of discussion.

Everyone in the team believes that the current research is just an exploration to accumulate technical experience. These basic experiments are exactly the experience they lack, but they do not have high hopes for success.

Baili Jing did not participate in the discussion anymore, but was thinking about the topic she was responsible for. Her major is magnetic field materials, and the topic Chen Mo gave her was the construction of a magnetic field system.

This topic is very important, although it is only theoretical.

They have no access to the core technology because they are not qualified enough, so they can only assist in the assembly of the [Star Ring]. The field system of [Star Ring] is different from the tokamak magnetic field they have learned. It is not strictly a poloidal field or a longitudinal field.

Different magnetic fields mean that the device design will be very different.

She was a little curious as to what the design of the [Star Ring] Chen Mo was talking about. But they cannot see the design drawings of [Star Ring] and can only do their job well.

She was somewhat dissatisfied with the discussion by other team members.

Because she has intuition, Chen Mo must have a way to solve the problem they mentioned, otherwise he would not dare to invest in nuclear fusion technology casually.

During this period of construction, they were all auxiliary staff building the star ring. Some core components are inaccessible to them, and they don’t know the specific materials and functions.

So she felt that Chen Mo seemed to have inexplicable confidence in [Star Ring].

After entering the [Star Halo] laboratory, everyone calmed down and went to their respective work stations, ready to start building the [Star Halo].

Not long after, Chen Mo also arrived.

The construction of [Star Ring] has begun. Chen Mo is the chief engineer and chief designer of [Star Ring] and needs to personally participate in the construction work. Now [Star Ring] is slowly taking shape, and there are no problems for the time being. It is only a matter of time before it is successfully built.

"Everyone, get ready. Today's task is to install the 'star pillar' structure." When the staff arrived, Chen Mo also began to arrange today's tasks.

The 'Star Pillar' is one of the core structures of the [Star Ring]. It is located at the center of the entire device. Its function is equivalent to the central coil of the Tokamak device. It is responsible for current transmission and providing cooling medium.

[Star Ring] Otherwise, it operates normally. The 'Star Pillar' is a key structure, equivalent to the spine of the human body, and its role is self-evident.

As Chen Mo's order fell, the parts of the 'Star Pillar' structure were transported out. A cylinder with a diameter of more than one meter is wrapped in special materials.

All researchers are curious about this 'star pillar', including Wan Yuanxi.

Inside, there are passages for cables, cooling pipes and diagnostic cables, which contain the core technology of [Star Ring].

In the superconducting tokamak device, the cable of the central solenoid is made of low-temperature superconducting material, and there is also an ultra-low temperature cooling medium.

The combination of ultra-high temperature and ultra-low temperature makes the design of the superconducting tokamak device very complicated and the technical implementation very troublesome. This is one of the reasons why the 'Oriental Hyperloop' leads the world in the field of nuclear fusion.

But there is no ultra-low temperature cooling technology in [Star Ring], so he judged that there is no low-temperature superconducting material in it. He was curious about what conductor material Chen Mo used to provide a large enough current to the device to provide a strong magnetic field to sustain the reaction.

It is impossible to use ordinary conductive materials, and it is still a material that keeps Chen Mo mysterious. It must be extraordinary.

The materials at the bottom of the reactor were all developed from liquid metal. As one of the core structures, the star pillar must have many new technologies. However, Chen Mo made it into a whole pillar in advance, which made them feel itchy.

Chen Mo didn't think as much as others thought. The 'Star Pillar' was slowly sent to the designated location. Under his command, many staff and robots began to coordinate their work.

The construction work of [Star Ring] is in full swing, and an unexpected news has also come out.
