Chapter 290: The Physics Circle Is Boiling Again

Liu Feng's private research institute has already been on the right track.

At the Organic Research Branch, Professor Wu Qingquan himself was the director, and brought dozens of people to be responsible for the continuous optimization of the synthesis and production process of porous carbon fiber microcrystalline graphite oxide composites.

As for the research and development of new biological reverse osmosis materials reported by the "Ten Thousand Talents Program", Liu Feng's senior brother Liu Wei took the lead.

Speaking of which, this year is also the time for Senior Brother Liu Wei to graduate from Boss Duan, fight the tiger and invite his brothers, and he will not avoid his relatives, Liu Feng knows the ability of this senior brother very well, and he is completely relieved to hand it over to him.

On the side of the Materials Research Branch, a doctor surnamed Duan in the previous group took the lead, in addition to the research and production of superconducting materials for the EAST laboratory explained by Liu Feng, he also reported his own project.

The above two groups of laboratories have basically achieved self-sufficiency, and even made a small profit, only his neuroscience research laboratory is still in the red.

In addition to Liu Feng's continuous purchase of various R&D instruments, the lack of projects and talents are all big problems, and even if he hadn't brought a few senior brothers from Principal Tan to learn bioscience, he wouldn't even be able to recruit the manpower to build the backbone!

In fact, if it weren't for Liu Feng's fully equipped laboratory, coupled with a set of 7T super magnetic resonance detectors and a decent salary, these senior brothers majoring in biology may not be able to join Liu Feng's command.

In this regard, Liu Feng is not in a hurry.

Reverse osmosis super materials, now is a daily income, a loss of 1.8 million yuan, it is a drizzle for him, as long as he continues to invest, one day, the results of the institute will come out, and the fame will naturally be there, at that time, are you still afraid that there will be no talents?

After handing over several professors from the Modu Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics to Mr. Wu Qingquan and letting him set up the Institute of Optics, Liu Feng became the shopkeeper again.

While supervising the engineers to install the laser equipment he brought back from the magic capital to the positron collider in Beijing, he wrote his "Theory of Mutual Conversion of High Energy Particles with Strong Electromagnetic Fields" into a paper ready to be submitted to the editorial office of a scientific journal.

However, just as he finished posting his manuscript, his mobile phone rang.

picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, only to see that it was Academician Li Yongfeng calling, so Liu Feng pressed the connect button.

Almost as soon as the phone was connected, Academician Li's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Professor Liu, in 100 seconds, our ignition experiment has been successful!"

Success has long been something that Liu Feng expected, and with him taking action personally, if it can't be solved, I'm afraid these people will really have to bow to Europe.

"Congratulations, Academician Li, your EAST group has once again come to the forefront of the world and won glory for the country. ”

Liu Feng said with a smile.

"Everywhere, it is all your credit, if it weren't for your help, our EAST device, I don't know how long it will take to catch up with Europe's footsteps. Academician Li is also very modest, after all, he knows who plays a key role in this.

It's not a boast, if it weren't for Liu Feng, either they would bow their heads to the European side, or continue to waste more than ten years, there would be no third way!

"You're welcome, Academician Li, it's all the credit of the big guys. It's just that your controllable nuclear fusion project has made progress again, and the antimatter project on my side has not yet started, so how can I explain it to the top if you do this!" Liu Feng joked.

"Haha! Seriously, Professor Liu, I think you should simply give up antimatter engineering and come to our controlled nuclear fusion laboratory, with your joining, our controlled nuclear fusion business in China will definitely be able to create more brilliance!" Academician Li laughed and said heartily.

Liu Feng also smiled.

Indeed, as long as he gives up engaging in antimatter engineering and turns to nuclear fusion, I am afraid that he will also be able to provoke the main beam; however, there is no turning back from the start of construction, and coupled with the idea that he would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, he will pass it without even thinking about it.

The two made a joke.

After a pause, Academician Li changed his serious tone and continued: "To be honest, I thought that we could reach 1000 seconds, and we were satisfied, but I didn't expect that we still underestimated your ability, and it lasted for 100 seconds!

Although the time is only increased by 100 seconds, the difficulty is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this achievement alone, the research in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in their EAST laboratory has left the world behind.

Although they are far behind others in the research of 'superconducting materials', and even have been stuck by others before, but with Liu Feng's help, they insisted on using ordinary 'superconducting' coils instead of European coils, completing a long-term ignition, and even far beyond the latest design in Europe, sweeping away the resentment of being stuck in the neck!

Raise your eyebrows!

"What's next, what's next?"

Hearing this question, Academician Li's face flushed with solemnity: "In addition to continuing to optimize the 'magnetic field system', I'm afraid our only way is to work on 'superconducting materials', Professor Liu, do you have any suggestions in this regard?"

Liu Feng shook his head: "Academician Li, you are right. The potential of the 'magnetic field system' has been exhausted by us, and if we really want to continue to extend the ignition time, in any case, the 'superconducting materials' aspect is a hurdle that we can't pass, and there is nothing I can do about it. ”

Indeed, if the potential of superconducting materials in China is 50, and the foreign side is 100, the east side has brought the domestic potential to 49, and the European side, although it has only played the potential of 45, but as long as people make another 200 potential materials, what will China pursue?

After all, the effect of repairing a broken ship is not as good as building a new and state-of-the-art ship.

Academician Li sighed: "Alas, too, it's time for us to fight the basic skills again, it's a pity that it's ......"

He can fully imagine that in the future, if the domestic controllable nuclear fusion cause does not bow its head abroad, I am afraid that there will be a hard time.

"Academician Li, if there is not much progress on the east side, why not consider developing in another direction, the door of the antimatter engineering side will always be open to you, of course, Mr. Li Zhengwu is the same. ”

People are unhappy, and Liu Feng not only said two good words to comfort him, but dug up the foot of the wall, which is really not a son of man.

Academician Li also shook his head.

He really wouldn't give up until he had to, so he finally declined the kindness of the goods.

……

For others, it is not easy to submit to a world-class journal such as Nature and Science, but for Liu Feng, it is not so difficult.

Even without taking into account his "21st century Einstein" aura and good academic reputation, as well as his past cooperation with the editorial board, the weight behind the word controlled nuclear fusion alone is enough for the scientific editorial office to take seriously.

There was nothing wrong with the data itself, it didn't take too long, and the paper was quickly approved and successfully published in the latest issue of a scientific journal.

And with the publication of his paper, coupled with the miracle that happened on the EAST device revealed by Hua Guo, almost the entire plasma physics community was boiling.

What is the concept of 100 seconds?

Just a year ago, the research of tokamak projects in various countries was still competing for breakthroughs in seconds.

However, with the successive publication of this paper by East and Liu Feng, the research results of research institutions in various countries have been directly thrown off.

Although the ignition work of 1200 seconds has been carried out on the ITER side, after all, it has not officially started, and the shock brought by this 100 seconds continues to shock all the scholars who pay attention to this device.

In particular, scientists around the world engaged in controlled nuclear fusion research have been shocked to note that the magnetic coils produced by the EAST device using only ordinary "superconducting" materials can exceed the magnetic confinement time of the most advanced superconducting magnet coils in Europe.

Liu Feng's "Theory of Mutual Conversion of High Energy Particles with Strong Electromagnetic Fields" once again proved his hegemony in the field of high-energy physics and attracted the attention of the whole world.

If they can also realize the potential of superconducting magnet coils through this theory, will it be possible to extend the ignition time to 200 seconds, 000 seconds, or even 0000 seconds?

The day when controlled nuclear fusion will operate around the clock is not far off!

People in academia were ecstatic.

Even according to the latest news from ITER, all member states unanimously decided to abandon the plan of the 1200-second ignition experiment and study Liu Feng's paper thoroughly before speaking.

In addition to the academic community, the success of the EAST installation has also attracted widespread attention from the general public, and it has also sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

Some believe that this is a major step forward in controlled nuclear fusion, and the day is not far from commercial operation!

Some people also said that China is going to take the lead in turning on controllable nuclear fusion energy? The theory of the Chinese threat continues to spread.

Of course, more people are indifferent, after all, this is not the first time that the news of controlled fusion has been seen.

Thirty years ago, it was said that controlled fusion power generation could be achieved in 20 years at the latest, but until now, there has not been a shadow of controlled nuclear fusion power generation.

But in any case, for this major scientific breakthrough, various TV stations in China, especially those with science columns, have taken advantage of this east wind to successively make a popular science program on controllable nuclear fusion.

Even in the latest issue of the news 0 minutes, AV spent a full minute to make a comprehensive report on this matter.

A few days ago, the plasma laboratory of the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published a paper in science, revealing the relevant details of their latest controlled fusion experiment. ”

In the experiment, Li Zhengwu and Li Yongfeng, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, used the "High Energy Particle Strong Electromagnetic Field Mutual Conversion Constraint Theory" provided by Professor Liu Feng, a well-known scholar in China, to successfully complete the 100-second plasma confinement time, breaking the European monopoly, and once again pushing the domestic controllable nuclear fusion cause to the world's most advanced level. ”

"According to industry insiders, this technological breakthrough is expected to open a new chapter for the research of controlled nuclear fusion!"

In the news, AV also broadcast an interview with an international celebrity by a CCTV reporter, as is customary.

Sitting in front of the camera is the 1991 Prize winner in explosives physics, Professor Christopher of Harvard University, when asked by CCTV reporters about his views on the EAST installation, he used the word incredible three times in a row to express the shock in his heart.

"When my assistant told me that the Chinese had extended the magnetic confinement time of the controlled fusion plasma to 100 seconds, my first reaction was that today was April Fool's Day, until he found those two papers from the latest issue of science and put them in front of me. ”

"Even now, my heart is still full of disbelief, incredible, the Chinese people really did it!"

"Moreover, as far as I know, this time the EAST device did not use the superconducting magnet coil provided by Europe, but used a backward material made in China, and my heart was full of shock - incredible, how did they do it?!"

"Even the superconducting magnetic coils in Europe can't do it to this extent for the time being!"

"However, when I saw Professor Liu Feng's paper, I found that it was true! It is incredible that Professor Liu Feng has proposed a novel theory, which can at least increase the magnetic confinement time of controlled nuclear fusion by 100!"

"I think that with the addition of Professor Liu, China has been ahead of the world in the research of controlled nuclear fusion. If the most critical superconducting material problem is effectively solved, they only need to solve the problem of the damaging effect of plasma irradiation on the first wall material and how to intercept the energy to generate electricity, and it may not be long before a fusion reactor in the true sense of the word is completed. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Christopher's expression was a little complicated, and he thought that Liu Feng had also joined the cause of controlled nuclear fusion!

Such an opponent is simply hellish difficulty!

"We have led the way in controlled nuclear fusion research for half a century, but now we have lost to China, and if the Ministry of Energy is controlled by oil tycoons, we will even lose the whole future!"

However, regardless of whether the Ministry of Energy attaches great importance to it or not, the achievements made by Hefei have attracted the attention of China's high-level officials.

When the Great Elder learned that Liu Feng was also involved in this, he couldn't cry or laugh - what is this guy going to do?

So, a phone call came to Liu Feng again......
