Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Although Zhao Kun and Su Lingling are doctoral graduates from key universities, it can be said to be a rare and valuable opportunity to enter the Postdoctoral Mobile Station of the Institute of Plasma Physics.

What's more, it was assigned to Xu Yun, a legend in the scientific community.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves.

For this reason, even in the past two months, I spent most of my time reading books and running errands, and was unable to enter the laboratory to participate in projects.

The two of them had no complaints.

I just wanted to learn more from Xu Yun.

At this moment, they suddenly saw Xu Yun coming over, and the two of them suddenly stood up in excitement.

The observant Su Lingling noticed the cup in Xu Yun's hand and quickly asked.

"Academician Xu, are you out of tea? I'll pick it up right now."

As he spoke, he reached for the teacup.

Xu Yun is generally quite satisfied with the two assistants assigned to him by the institute.

Regardless of whether he has great talent or not, at least he has a good personality.

Very much to his liking.

Although Su Lingling is not a beauty, she has a straightforward personality. In addition, she was born in a rural area and relied on her own efforts to achieve what she is today. She is very serious and meticulous in what she does, which is reassuring.

As for another boy, Zhao Kun, he talks little and likes to do things silently.

He came over now to go to the research room to participate in the project, not to let the two of them pour him tea.

So Wen Sheng waved his hand and said, "I'm not asking you to take the tea. You two pack your things and follow me to the fourth research room later."

"Go to the research room?" Su Lingling didn't react for a moment.

"how."

"Don't you want to participate in the construction of the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device? In that case, I will arrange other tasks for you." Xu Yun said deliberately with a smile on his lips.

really.

Su Lingling's eyes immediately lit up when she heard about the construction of the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device.

There was still some disbelief on his face.

"Academician Xu, are you saying that you want to take us to participate in the nuclear fusion project?"

Even Zhao Kun next to him became nervous.

Now that I can enter the Institute of Plasma Physics, I definitely want to be exposed to key projects, even if I do some marginal work.

What's more, they happened to come across the best time period.

The breakthrough of room-temperature superconducting materials is destined to make further progress in domestic research in the field of nuclear fusion.

It will continue to lead the world, leaving other countries far behind.

You must find a way to seize such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, after they were assigned to Xu Yun, they learned that Xu Yun was not good at researching the field of nuclear fusion. Although he was transferred to the Institute of Physics as the deputy chief engineer of the artificial sun project, he used learning as a way to completely conquer controllable nuclear fusion in the future. Preparation is the main thing.

It will not participate in the construction of this nuclear fusion device.

So they no longer thought about it later.

An Xin ran errands with Xu Yun.

But what did they hear now?

Xu Yun actually wanted to participate in the construction of the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device and gave them a chance.

If they hadn't known that Xu Yun couldn't joke, they would have suspected whether they were hallucinating.

Xu Yun saw the changes in the expressions of the two people and was quite dumbfounded by this.

I wonder if I'm that surprised?

After all, he is also the deputy chief engineer of the artificial sun project and can participate in the core work at any time. Moreover, during this time, he has gained new understanding and ideas about controllable nuclear fusion through his research.

Compared with working behind closed doors, it is definitely more effective to practice in person.

Maybe it can make the effects of nuclear fusion devices even further.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun didn't want to waste time, so he said another sentence.

"If you don't want to, forget it."

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.

Seeing Xu Yun really leaving, Su Lingling and Zhao Kun dared to hesitate.

The almost reflexive response: "Yes, we do."

As he spoke, he hurriedly caught up.

However, Su Lingling, who was walking in front, quickly stopped suddenly, turned around quickly and said to Zhao Kun: "Zhao Kun, please remember to pack your things. Academician Xu and I are waiting for you in front." Before she finished speaking, Zhao Kun opened his mouth and quickly followed.

Zhao Kun, on the other hand, seemed to be used to being arranged by Su Lingling. He was stunned for two seconds before choosing to pack it up.

He quickly packed the two people's things on the table, and then hurriedly chased after them.

He would not think that Academician Xu would really wait for him alone.

…

…

The fourth research room of the Institute of Plasma Physics is the location of the world's largest fully superconducting tokamak device.

When Xu Yun came over with his two assistants, he happened to see Gong Tao sitting in command.

Partially dismantling the huge tokamak device in front of us.

A tokamak is a toroidal vessel that uses magnetic confinement to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

In the center of the device is a ring-shaped vacuum chamber with coils wrapped around the outside.

When electricity is energized, a huge spiral magnetic field will be generated inside the tokamak, which will heat the plasma in the vacuum chamber to a very high temperature to achieve nuclear fusion.

It is the peripheral coil that is being dismantled now.

Because with the arrival of the normal temperature superconducting material ZK-33, this special new material will be used to build coils.

In this way, stronger magnetic binding force can be provided based on the characteristics of the material.

This causes the plasma in the vacuum chamber to reach a higher temperature.

As a result, the energy of the output device is much greater than the energy of the input device.

Also called energy gain factor.

Compared with Xu Yun, who has been here several times, this is the first time for Su Lingling and Zhao Kun to have close contact with the Oriental Super Ring.

At this moment, his eyes were full of shock.

At this time, Gong Tao also noticed Xu Yun and the others. He arranged the work for those around him and came over on his own initiative.

Gong Tao has been communicating with Xu Yun a lot in the past two months. After the two became familiar with each other, their communication method was very direct, completely ignoring each other's age and they were like friends.

He walked up to Xu Yun and asked with a smile: "How are you, Xu Yuan? How do you feel?"

"Although it's not my first time here, I'm still shocked every time I see it." Xu Yun answered from the bottom of his heart.

Su Lingling and Zhao Kun behind them also nodded repeatedly.

Different from projects such as room-temperature superconducting materials, the huge fully superconducting Tokamak nuclear fusion device is presented in front of you, and the visual impact and experience it brings are incomparable.

Then Xu Yun asked: "Where is the progress now?"

"Currently, the materials are in place. Once the original peripheral coils are removed, we will start to re-build the coils." Gong Tao introduced in detail, and began to imagine the scene after the construction is completed: "Using normal temperature superconducting materials does not require us to rely on Liquid nitrogen cooling, I believe the magnetic binding force it can provide will not disappoint us all."

The peripheral coils being dismantled are made of low-temperature superconducting material.

Although it also has zero resistance and the Meissner effect, it requires liquid nitrogen cooling to achieve the superconducting effect.

Now that room-temperature superconducting materials are available, a lot of things can be saved.

The key is also to increase the size of the coil to achieve greater magnetic binding and increase the temperature.

After Xu Yun listened carefully to what Gong Tao said, he could see that the other party was very confident in the new generation of nuclear fusion devices.

At this point in the chat, Xu Yun no longer hesitated and directly stated his purpose of coming today.

"That would be great."

"In addition, I hope to participate in the construction of the fifth-generation tokamak nuclear fusion device."

Gong Tao looked very happy when he faced Xu Yun's request.

Without even a moment's hesitation, he responded: "Actually, even if you don't say anything, I plan to let you contribute to whatever I say, otherwise I won't be sure." He didn't hide the smile on his face at all when he spoke.

As someone who often communicated and discussed with Xu Yun during this period, he was very aware of Xu Yun's current strength.

At the same time, he was also stunned by Xu Yun's terrifying learning speed and talent.

It’s really enviable.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yun's level in the field of nuclear fusion devices is no longer inferior to him.

All that is lacking is practical experience.

The key point is that everyone knows the magic power of Xu Yun. No project he participates in has failed, so having Xu Yun join will undoubtedly make him more confident.

What's more, Xu Yun was transferred to their institute with the mission of leading the domestic nuclear fusion research team to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion energy.

at the same time.

Su Lingling and Zhao Kun, who were extremely well-behaved and stood behind Xu Yun, were both excited and excited.

Because of this sentence, it means that they finally have the opportunity to officially participate in the project.

But in the following time, Gong Tao had no intention of letting Xu Yun take some time off.

After inviting Xu Yun to sit next to him, he said with a very serious look: "Do you have any new ideas in the design of our new generation tokamak nuclear fusion device?"

"From the current perspective, the Tokamak device is still the answer and the most likely solution to achieve controllable nuclear fusion."

"I think the new device can continue to use the previous design, use the non-circular cross-section nuclear fusion experimental device scheme, and make appropriate additions to the peripheral coils to improve the magnetic binding force."

Xu Yun has naturally thought about these things during this period, so there is nothing to hesitate in facing inquiries.

You don’t even need to organize words, just blurt it out.

Gong Tao obviously agreed with what Xu Yun said, nodded and said:

"What you mentioned is exactly what we have considered, and we hope that the performance of the final device will be significantly improved compared to the previous generation."

But what Xu Yun wanted to talk about today was obviously more than that. The next second, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, handed it over and said in a deep voice: "These are some of my thoughts on the central vacuum chamber of the tokamak device. You can see if you can use it."

"Vacuum chamber?"

Gong Tao was a little surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yun also researched the vacuum chamber of tokamak.

You must know that according to their plan this time, they are only going to replace the peripheral coils and not change the vacuum chamber.

But if Xu Yun can take the initiative to come up with a plan, no one will underestimate him.

No matter what the content was, Gong Tao immediately became extremely serious.

He quickly dragged Xu Yun to the office.

"Go to my office."

As for Su Lingling and Zhao Kun behind them, they looked at each other and followed suit.

After all, they are still members of the Institute of Physics, and now that they are involved in this project, they are not subject to any confidentiality regulations.

What's more, Gong Tao and Xu Yun didn't stop it either.

——

In the office, Gong Tao quickly inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, then sat down and carefully looked at the contents.

Xu Yun was not in a hurry.

Patiently sitting on the sofa next to him, waiting for Gong Tao's reply.

It can only be said that he has not just studied in the past two months. If he doesn't come up with something, it will seem like his work has been in vain.

As the contents of the USB flash drive appeared in front of Gong Tao's eyes, the other party quickly became absorbed in it.

And his originally calm expression became serious as time passed.

I became even more excited later on.

Apparently the content inside was very rewarding to him.

I don't know how much time passed before I saw Gong Tao reaching out and rubbing his eyes.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yun very excitedly.

"Xu Yuan."

"Are the design plans of this vacuum chamber and the materials mentioned in it absolutely true?"

After asking this question, his eyes were fixed on Xu Yun, eager to get an answer.

You can't blame him for being excited, mainly because these two things are too important.

To achieve controllable nuclear fusion, in addition to strong magnetic confinement and stable high-temperature plasma, the reaction vessel is also very important.

Controllable nuclear fusion reactions produce a large amount of high-energy particles and radiant heat, causing serious loss and damage to reaction vessels and materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and use materials that can withstand high-energy radiation.

Otherwise, even if the plasma current can be output stably, the container life will be too short for practical application.

However, the solution provided by Xu Yun can effectively improve the problem of tritium retention.

It also includes a new type of material that can withstand high-energy radiation and avoid radiation damage.

If conquering room-temperature superconducting materials can lead to a breakthrough in the progress of controllable nuclear fusion devices, then solving radiation damage and tritium retention will make it possible to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion.

The gap between the two can be imagined.

How not to get excited.

You must know that for this new generation of nuclear fusion device, he originally planned to double the output value, which is considered a huge success.

Now tell him that controllable nuclear fusion may be achieved this time. If he hadn't taken into account that there were other people present, he would have jumped up excitedly now.

At this time, Xu Yun saw Gong Tao's performance in his eyes, but he was not too surprised by it.

It's a coincidence.

When he was studying issues such as radiation damage, he suddenly thought of the three material directions obtained by using the scientific simulator last time. In addition to room-temperature superconducting materials and aerospace materials that can be used in spacecrafts, it also includes a high-temperature resistant material.

Originally, he thought that this kind of material could only be used in specific environments, so he didn't take it too seriously.

The main focus at that time was on room temperature superconducting materials.

So this time he specifically contacted Sun Zhenghong and asked him to try to synthesize this material in the Materials Laboratory of Jingzhou University and conduct comprehensive and detailed tests on it.

When the test result data was transmitted, even Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I never expected that in addition to being resistant to high temperatures, this material could also withstand damage from high-energy radiation.

It can be said that using this material as a reaction vessel can basically solve the problem of radiation damage.

As for the tritium retention solution he gave, although there is no guarantee that it can completely solve the problem, it is definitely more effective than what is currently used by the Institute of Physics.

At this time, Xu Yun no longer pretended to be secretive.

He immediately nodded to Gong Tao and said, "This material is actually a branch of our research on room-temperature superconducting materials, but we didn't have time to confirm it. I didn't expect that the actual performance would be so good."

"As for the solution to tritium retention, it's my own idea. I don't know if it will work."

"Although your solution has not been verified yet, I think it is very feasible." Gong Tao took a deep breath and spoke slowly after hearing the answer he wanted.

Then he said with emotion on his face: "To be honest, no one will believe that you are new to the research of controllable nuclear fusion. Compared with you, I suddenly feel that I am quite stupid." The expression on his face at the end. All somewhat complex.

Can be responsible for the research work of the national controllable nuclear fusion project and successfully reach the world's leading level.

No one dares to question his talent and strength.

But compared with Xu Yun today, it made him feel like he was number one in his class meeting the top pick in the country.

Xu Yun was very familiar with Gong Tao's expression. After all, he had seen it on the faces of many academicians.

Putting on a warm smile, he stood up and said, "I just write down whatever comes to my mind during my studies. It will naturally be good if it can help our research on controllable nuclear fusion devices." He still maintained a humble and low-key attitude. .

"I will convene a meeting as soon as possible to renovate and rebuild the vacuum chamber through this plan."

Gong Tao automatically ignored Xu Yun's words and walked out after saying this.

When he was about to arrive at the door, he didn't forget to add: "I want to tell the director this good news immediately. Don't forget to attend the meeting when the time comes." After saying that, the figure quickly disappeared from sight.

At this time, Xu Yun was relieved. He could see that his plan could help the nuclear fusion device, and he lived up to his special transfer.

"If you want to rebuild the reaction vessel, the heat-resistant materials also need to be secured."

Thinking that there was a new demand for materials, Xu Yun muttered to himself and stopped wandering around.

He needed to arrange it as soon as possible to ensure that the materials needed to build the reaction vessel could be synthesized in a short time.

Although the exchange between Xu Yun and Gong Tao did not last long, the amount of information contained was so huge that even Su Lingling and Zhao Kun had not yet reacted.

Among them, Su Lingling's cheeks felt a little hot and she felt very embarrassed.

During this period of time, she had always firmly believed that Xu Yun was indeed new to the field of controllable nuclear fusion, and spent every day in the library studying.

As a result, the problem of tritium retention was solved during the learning process, and a new material was also produced.

You call this just starting research?

Even Gong Tao, who has devoted half his life to the field of nuclear fusion, probably cannot say that he can complete a feasible plan in a short time.

What's more, Xu Yun is truly a newcomer in the field of nuclear fusion.

But whether it should be said or not, through this incident, they witnessed Xu Yun's talent with their own eyes.

After all, I had heard about it online before.

To become an academician of the two academies in his thirties and have a number of scientific research achievements in key projects is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even those so-called geniuses are still not worth mentioning in front of Xu Yun's achievements.
