On the morning of June 18, 2011, the Plasma Laboratory of Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhao, where did you buy this water cup, it's quite chic!" Chen Tongfu, who was tinkering with something on the computer, accidentally saw Zhao Hanliang replace it with a brand new water cup, and couldn't help but be very surprised.

Because unlike ordinary water glasses, this thing actually has two mouths!

Filled the water and made a bag of coffee, Zhao Hanliang picked up the dark blue water cup and shook it, and said with a smile: "It's in the supermarket next door, haven't you watched TV, the water cup produced by Jinhua, I heard that it is made with new materials and new processes, and I also invited Bei Ye to advertise it." ”

"That's not true, we all play games in our spare time, but what's the difference? ”

Chen Tongfu touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Haha, you don't know this!" Zhao Hanliang was proud, "Don't look at it is just an ordinary water cup, this guy also has the function of purifying water, look at it, open the lid and fill the water in, this mouth is the original water, and what flows out of this mouth is the purified water; ”

"Isn't it, so powerful?" Chen Tongfu doubted.

"Don't lie to you, it's really powerful, I also saw some people on the Internet using this thing for experiments, soaking and peeing, those people dare to drink it! This thing is not worth much, dozens of dollars a piece, I don't believe you can buy one yourself to try." Zhao Hanliang swore and promised.

"Okay, I'll buy one and try it too. Chen Tongfu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, senior brother, what did you say about the recent incident, how the experiment has stopped? It's been almost half a month, let's stay like this all day and do nothing, and it's boring." ”

"It's not good to be idle, I used to be so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground, and people had to die of exhaustion, but now I drink tea and chat every day, which seems to be pretty good. Zhao Hanliang shook his head, and suddenly sighed and said, "It's just that it's really boring for us to be like this, although we were busy before, but being able to see our 'little guy' lighting a fire and continuing to shine, that sense of accomplishment is really not comparable to now." ”

"As for why the experiment stopped during this time, it is not because the coil of the tokamak device is not good? Since the last time we extended the ignition time to 1000 seconds, foreign laboratories have either asked for a sky-high price, or refused to provide us with superconducting coils, and Mr. Li is still trying to figure out a way with Academician Li. ”

"So that's what happened!" Chen Tongfu also sighed, "Our country's basic science and technology are indeed too poor, and even a suitable superconducting material can't solve it." ”

"Yes, it's all an account owed by history, and now it's expected. Zhao Hanliang took a sip of water and said lightly, "I heard that a big man in our laboratory is coming today, and he is here to solve this matter for us." ”

"Big shots?In terms of controllable nuclear fusion in China, is there a big man who is better than Academician Li Zhengwu?" Chen Tongfu shook his head in disbelief, "Who else can solve things that even Elder Li and our Boss Li can't solve?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a foreign expert. ”……

The two were discussing, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps and conversation in the corridor outside the door, there were Academician Li, and several other professors, listening to this voice, it seemed that the professors in the laboratory had arrived!

The two glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes-who is coming, such a big sum? Except for Academician Li Zhengwu, all the big names in the laboratory have arrived!

Unbelievable, they waited for the group to pass by their office door, and their eyes widened to see who this guy really was!

"Yes, it's him!"

"It turned out to be him, Great God Liu Feng!"

The two were dumbfounded.

This is Professor Liu, who has just turned 19 years old! This constructor of the Great Unified Theory, the leader of the physics community in China today, is only a matter of time before he wins the Dynamite Award!

How did he get here?

I haven't heard that this guy has extraordinary attainments in controlled nuclear fusion, does this guy also want to join their laboratory in the future and engage in controlled nuclear fusion?

The heads of the two were full of question marks.

Of course, he was even more excited, so he quickly stood up and walked to the tokamak device laboratory next door......

Accompanied by Academician Li Yongfeng and a group of cadres, Liu Feng briefly visited the various installations of the plasma laboratory, and then came to the core part of the EAST project team - the tokamak device laboratory!

Speaking of which, I didn't see Mr. Li Yuanwu, this guy is still quite regretful.

But according to Academician Li, the old man happened to have something to do today, so he didn't come, and Liu Feng also expressed his understanding of this, who doesn't have something to do at home!

Isn't it?

Although he also knew that it might just be because the old gentleman was embarrassed to see him, but people were difficult to dismantle, and he knew in his heart that he really couldn't play happily after saying it.

Looking at the two-storey 'behemoth' in front of him, Liu Feng was also quite emotional.

Mr. Li and Academician Li are indeed very powerful, although the core part is made of other people's materials, but the design and principle inside are all made by themselves;

It can be seen that the Chinese people are not worse than others, and even far smarter and better than those white-skinned people!

As for the temporary 'backwardness', it is only to make up for the debts owed by the three hundred years of history - the civilization destroyed by the barbarians is now being revitalized, and it will eventually stand in the position of number one again.

In this regard, Liu Feng believes, affirms, certains, and certains!

It's just a pity that the device in front of him is destined to be abandoned by him in the dust of history; before the antimatter project is proposed, controlled nuclear fusion can definitely be regarded as a star project to solve Huaguo's energy project, however, who called Huaguo a Master Liu?

Hanging than flying, overtaking in corners is just the norm......

However, what Liu Feng wants to do more is definitely not just to play behind other people's butts and pick up other people's leftover things, what he wants is - to make Huaguo's science and technology leader in the world!

Of course, he has also admired this famous tokamak device for a long time, and this time he was fortunate to see it, which can be regarded as a dream in his heart.

Stretched his neck.

Next to him, Academician Li Yongfeng saw that Liu Feng was very interested in the device, and he also acted as an explanation with great interest.

Tokamak is a ring container that uses magnetic confinement to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, and its name Tokamak is derived from the Russian prefix "ring, vacuum chamber, magnet, coil", which was originally invented by Atsimovitsy and others at the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow in the 50s of the last century. ”

"All the tokamaks in the world are magnetic confinement fusion devices based on the plasma confinement shape. The main body is a ring-shaped vacuum chamber to create the closed vacuum conditions required for plasma confinement discharge. On the outside of the vacuum chamber, a longitudinal field magnet coil is wound to form a toroidal principal confinement magnetic field. At the same time, the device is equipped with multiple sets of polar field coils along the direction of the large ring to form the applied polar field required to balance the plasma. ”

"Under the action of these magnet coils, a stable confinement zone can be formed inside the vacuum chamber to maintain the discharge operation of the plasma, and when the power is applied, a huge spiral magnetic field is generated inside the tokamak, and the plasma in it is heated to a very high temperature to achieve the purpose of nuclear fusion. ”

"We have designed and built this tokamak by ourselves, and not long ago, we have succeeded in achieving a continuous ignition time of 1,000 seconds, which is the first time in the world, and recently we plan to continue to extend the ignition time and at the same time draw a plasma in the energy field for electrical energy conversion experiments. ”

Liu Feng nodded.

With the support of the state, the domestic controllable nuclear fusion industry has indeed made great progress over the years, and it has taken the lead in the world in terms of ignition time and specific electrical energy conversion, however......

"It's a pity that our country can not meet the requirements of the production level of superconducting magnet coils at all, the magnet coils in this tokamak are bought through imports, and the service life has reached the limit; however, after we extend the ignition time to 1000 seconds, foreign countries have imposed a ban on the sale of superconducting material coils that we need, or it is a conspiracy to increase prices; my teacher and I have thought of various ways, and have also tried new materials provided by various domestic manufacturers, but they can not meet our requirements. ”

Academician Li sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, several professors around also shook their heads helplessly.

When they think of the extortion of foreign countries, these people are both helpless and indignant.

"We are also one of the members of the iTER organization, and we also bear 10% of the funding every year, but we have not obtained the status we deserve, and we have no right to speak in the iTER, and even we have our own tokamaks, which are also restricted in every way, those people are really hateful!"

"Alas, who told us that we can't produce this superconducting magnet coil ourselves? As long as people get stuck in their necks, we can only be helpless......"

"When we first joined iTER, they all said that technology knows no borders, but now it's good, those gringos will use such a trick as soon as they see that our experiments are ahead of them, and the so-called technology without borders is really a joke!"

The so-called ITER is the abbreviation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Program, which was originally initiated by former Woolly Bear leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Reagan of Country M at the Geneva Summit, and jointly launched by Country M, Mao Bear, the European Union and Toray, whose purpose is to build a self-sustaining combustion tokamak nuclear fusion experimental reactor in order to explore the physical and engineering problems of future fusion demonstration reactors and commercial fusion reactors, and Huaguo joined the program in 06.

However, similar to Huaguo's status in CERN, although Huaguo paid about 10% of the funding after joining, it still has the right to speak from abroad, and Liu Feng has heard about it somewhat.

A group of people can only be indignant, but there is nothing they can do, this is the helplessness of the weak!

Liu Feng also shook his head helplessly.

The first generation of Great Elders had the insightful opinion that self-reliance is the royal way to solve problems; the theory that it is better to buy what is built is completely a joke -- will people sell you an atomic bomb? Will people sell you a space shuttle?

I don't know how those compradors who advocate buying sooner rather than earlier arose......

For the sake of temporary interests, take the initiative to stretch out their necks and put them under the swords of others, and they don't even resist to resist, these people, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are dizzy;

The reason why Liu Feng wants to postpone the time of antimatter engineering to 10 years is not without this consideration; after all, at present, many of the equipment in the Super Collider must rely on imports!

Solve the problem of whether there is or not to save time first, and then make it yourself, and quietly pull out the neck, this is the way of smart people.

Academician Li looked at Liu Feng, then at several professors around him, thought for a while, and continued: "Professor Liu, I saw that you proposed a 'high-energy particle strong electromagnetic field interaction constraint theory', which is a new method that can solve the high-energy stability of super electromagnetic fields.

Constraint Theory of Interchange of Strong Electromagnetic Field of High-energy Particles?

When did Professor Liu come up with such a theory, and how did they not know?

Several professors around them widened their eyes, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.

It's just that it's no wonder that Academician Li Zhengwu wants to invite Liu Feng over, it turns out that it's because of this!

You must know that this is a great man who has constructed the Great Unified Theory, and the most awesome physicist in the world! For him, it seems that it is not a difficult problem to be able to come up with such a theory.

After a period of doubt, everyone showed a 'sudden realization' expression, their faces were full of hope, and they stared at Liu Feng with two eyes: It is really worthy of Professor Liu, if you can solve the problem of magnetic field confinement without using foreign superconducting materials, this method is really good!

"Ahem. ”

Being a little uncomfortable stared at by the fiery gaze of a group of people, Liu Feng coughed softly, and straightened his face,

"Academician Li is polite, they are all serving the country, what do you and I do. I know the structure and general principle of the tokamak device, so I will briefly mention it here. ”

"We all know that nuclear fusion is a high-energy release reaction, and if you want to confine it to a certain area for fusion, you can only do it through a specific electromagnetic field, but according to Maxwell's electromagnetic field theory, the traditional electromagnetic restraint device can only rely on the accumulation of a magnetic field after being energized by a circle of material conductors, and the more the number of coils, the stronger the current, and the stronger the magnetic field formed. ”

"The advantage of superconducting materials is only that the low resistance can reduce the loss of electrical energy, since we cannot meet the requirements of superconducting materials, it can only solve the problem of the number and arrangement of coils. ”

"As a result, I discovered that some special materials, under certain conditions, do not need to reach such harsh low temperatures as superconducting materials, and can achieve a low-current and high-intensity magnetic field environment through specific combinations. Here's how it goes......"
