"This laboratory has become intelligent."
"The lab is very well designed."
Entering the institute, the expert team began to look around, and were quickly attracted by the minimalist and futuristic design style of the institute, and were amazed. There are also patrolling robots and an extremely tight security system.
"Academician Chen, who designed this research institute?" Li Jian couldn't help but ask.
"Artificial intelligence." Chen Mo said.
Upon hearing about the artificial intelligence design, the expert team on the field were all surprised. It is unimaginable that such a complex research institute was created by artificial intelligence.
"Is this designed by the artificial intelligence of Army Ant Company?"
"Yes. The Academy of Sciences also has artificial intelligence Xia Wa. It should also be able to design architectural drawings. As for how complicated it is, it depends on the level of intelligence and the level of assisting designers. Just ask the artificial intelligence team. Artificial intelligence can now Do a lot of things." Chen Mo said without caring.
"Young people are terrible. It seems that a new era has really come." A senior expert said with emotion.
Under the leadership of Chen Mo, the entire team successfully entered the underground Star Ring Experiment Command Center. Through the huge LCD screen in the command center, they could clearly see the huge [Star Halo] standing quietly in the Halo Laboratory.
It is quite different from the fully superconducting tokamak device of Hui Province Science Island Research Institute. This one looks like a big, round fat man. They have seen it in photos and recognized it at a glance.
"This is the Star Ring." Chen Mo pointed at the [Star Ring] on the LCD screen and said.
"Can we go down and take a closer look?"
"No need to bother, you can watch it here."
Chen Mo pressed a button on the console, and under everyone's surprised eyes, a holographic projection of the [Star Ring] of the same scale appeared in the central open space of the command center.
This scene did not surprise anyone on the field because they had always known that Chen Mo had holographic technology. But seeing holograms in the laboratory for the first time was somewhat surprising. After the holographic projection appeared, the experts and academicians in the team all circled around the [Star Ring] with surprise in their eyes, carefully observing this new type of nuclear fusion device.
Even Ke Jianye, who had doubts about [Star Ring], didn't say much at this time and was observing carefully. Li Jian stretched out his hand through the holographic projection, but couldn't touch anything.
"Can I see the structure inside?"
"Okay." Chen Mo activated the control bracelet on his wrist.
This is an intelligently controlled holographic projection. The artificial intelligence of the Star Ring Research Institute is not as intelligent as Mo Nu's, so a wristband is used to assist in controlling the holographic projection.
The holographic model slowly became smaller under Chen Mo's gesture and floated in front of the people on the field.
This kind of scene only appears in science fiction movies such as Iron Man, where strange movie scenes become real. But these experts and professors rarely watch movies, and naturally they don’t know Iron Man.
Then under Chen Mo's control, the shell of [Star Ring] was peeled off, and the structure inside the device was clearly revealed.
After seeing the design clearly, all the experts took a breath. Tokamak is already very complex, and they now find that [Star Ring] is even worse.
"You designed this alone?" Li Jian's voice was obviously full of disbelief. If the [Star Ring] device experiment is successful, Chen Mo can become a god.
"It's not designed by me alone. My artificial intelligence assistant helped optimize it." Chen Mo said without hesitation.
Such a nuclear fusion device involving various disciplines was independently designed by Chen Mo.
This news is quite shocking.
"Artificial intelligence again?" A senior expert wearing an old Chinese tunic suit said in surprise: "Has artificial intelligence developed to this terrifying level?"
"Yes, after the promotion of our company's 'artificial intelligence +' plan, artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous. It is not uncommon for some professional intelligent assistants to help work more efficiently. There is also a Artificial Intelligence Assistant Xiaoxing.”
After Chen Mo finished explaining, he began to introduce the structure of [Star Ring].
"The vacuum chamber has an irregular shape. It is designed based on the plasma turbulence model of multiple simulation experiments, which can increase the collision of plasma under a strong magnetic field."
Chen Mo independently presented the annular vacuum chamber through holographic projection. In the vacuum chamber, there is also purple-red simulated plasma flowing, which is a twisted donut that looks very beautiful.
"Is there a formula for plasma turbulence?" Li Jian asked.
"Turbulence formulas and models are important information for the institute. If Academician Li wants to see it, just apply to join our institute's project." Chen Mo said.
Seeing that Li Jian and others looked at each other and said nothing, Chen Mo didn't care and continued to introduce.
"Since we don't have super pressure inside the star, fusion cannot react spontaneously. But as long as the speed of the plasma is enough and the temperature of the reaction is enough, the reaction can be spontaneous. The constraint field of the [stellar ring] can reach a maximum of 60 tex Pull it up."
Li Jian took a breath: "Academician Chen, is there such a powerful magnet?"
"It's inside." Chen Mo called up the field system of [Star Ring]: "This is the field system. As for each magnet module and the magnetic field data, it is not convenient to disclose it here."
"Where's the cooling system?"
"Here." Chen Mo then brought up the structure of the cooling system.
"Your cooling system is the heat generated by the cooling device circuit. If it is not a superconductor, the heat it generates is enough to instantly fuse the circuit, right?" Ke Jianye interjected.
Full superconducting technology was successfully built by them by gathering the industrial strength of the entire country. There are few fully superconducting tokamak devices in the world, and he does not think Chen Mo has this technology. But he never imagined that the material Chen Mo used was a room-temperature superconductor material.
"There is technology to solve this problem." Chen Mo didn't care.
"What technology?" Ke Jianye was surprised. If there is a technical solution to this problem, then the technology contained in this star ring must be incredible.
Chen Mo responded with a mysterious smile and said nothing more. His confidential attitude aroused the curiosity of many experts on the scene, but Chen Mo still refused to disclose it.
"You don't need to worry about these issues. I have already taken them into consideration when designing, and the technology will not be made public for the time being."
Chen Mo interrupted their curiosity.
There are room-temperature superconductor materials, and the current cooling system is enough to cool down the heat generated during the operation of the circuit. But Chen Mo does not plan to announce the room-temperature superconductor material now.
Otherwise, wouldn't these academicians have to take a look at their own brains? Then they will shamelessly pester him for room-temperature superconducting materials, which will be troublesome.
They will not be dissatisfied with themselves. For the sake of technology, these researchers can do anything.
"Where's the divertor? Can we take a look?" Ke Jianye now has a lot less doubts in his mind.
This [Star Ring] was much more complicated than he imagined. Seeing the structure inside, he was convinced that it was impossible for ordinary people to design such a device.
"it's here."
Chen Mo adjusted the divertor structure of the furnace, which shocked all the experts.
"This is a gallium-beryllium graphite-tungsten alloy. It is synthesized in a specific ratio by adding rare elements and some high-temperature-resistant metals. It retains some of the metallic properties of gallium, with a low melting point and high boiling point. It also has the heat resistance and low activation properties of tungsten. Withstand the impact of high-energy neutrons.”
"This, this, this..."
After hearing Chen Mo's introduction, the experts who came out were all crazy, especially the materials expert Guo Xianming who came over, his eyes were shining with gold. If this kind of material is published, it will be a Nobel Prize material and its value is immeasurable.
"Academician Chen, I am an expert in materials science. Why don't you test it for me to see if the material is really what you said?" Guo Xianming said.
Everyone's shock was as expected by Chen Mo. These are technologies that have never appeared before, and when they saw them all at once, it was like seeing a treasure.
"Professor Guo, I won't bother you with the testing. I have already done many tests." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Guo Xianming saw that his little thoughts were seen through, but his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat.
Then, Chen Mo said: "In the past two days, Academician Wan, you have accompanied them to familiarize themselves with the environment of the institute. If you want to join our project team, I am very welcome. Now the 'tritium' has been delivered, and in two days, the nuclear fusion The experiment can officially begin.”
After Chen Mo left, Guo Xianming still couldn't believe it and asked Wan Yuanxi: "Lao Wan, is this liquid metal really what Chen Mo said?"
The properties possessed by that liquid metal are absolutely unique.
Solid alloys serve as divertors. If they are hit by high-energy neutrons for a long time in a fusion reactor, the metal surface will definitely decay and fall off, or even age.
But liquid metal is different. Liquid metal has plasticity and fluidity. As a material at the bottom of the reactor, it can expel helium ash and other strange impurities in the reactor.
This ideal material was unexpectedly synthesized by Chen Mo.
Now he doesn't even believe it.
"There is indeed liquid metal." Wan Yuanxi nodded.
He was also shocked when he heard the liquid metal material at the bottom of the furnace. But during this period, after seeing Chen Mo's endless variety of techniques, he became numb.
"Lao Wan, is there any way to get some back?" Guo Xianming said.
"No, that's the material technology of army ants. Even if I am the deputy chief engineer, I can't get it." Wan Yuanxi spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
Although he is considered the deputy chief engineer, his authority is limited. Coming here, from beginning to end, is just to assist the robot in installing and debugging instruments when assembling the [Star Ring].
Other times, he had no way to intervene.
The entire [Star Ring] was designed by Chen Mo. He even believed that their team was deceived by Chen Mo to make up for it. Even without them, Chen Mo could still build the Star Ring. In fact, they simply couldn't keep up with Chen Mo's pace and could only serve as auxiliary personnel.
He, the deputy chief engineer, had no access to the most important material technologies.
"Hey, what a pity." Guo Xianming sighed and said with regret: "If the liquid metal material really has the properties he said, adding such a liquid metal coating to the divertor at the bottom of the super ring will greatly extend the life of the divertor. improve."
"These things can't be rushed." Li Jian said.
The group fell silent and began to think about what they had just seen. The technical strength of the Army Ant Company is so terrifying that it makes people jealous. Even Ke Jianye, who had doubts about [Star Ring] at first, stopped talking. Within just a few hours of coming here, each of them had a new understanding of the advanced technology of this institute.
The construction of the [Star Ring] has been completed, the tritium raw materials have arrived, and other preparations are also in full swing, waiting for the experiment to begin.
