Chapter 288 Data Review
Qin Feng's time is very precious, of course, it is impossible to wait for Professor Yang in Director Tao's office, and besides, the data review is obviously not something that can be done in a short time, so he left the Ministry of Science and Technology after explaining it clearly.
"This matter must be kept secret, if it is determined to be effective, you must tell me as soon as possible!" Qin Feng held Director Tao's hand and said solemnly before leaving.
"I know, when the time comes, let him review the information in the ministry, and I'll call you as soon as I get the news!" Director Tao assured, whether it was the weight of this information or Qin Feng's advice, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
This matter is halfway through, I don't know how long it will take to review, and what kind of conclusions will be reached? Qin Feng sat in the back seat, thinking while looking at the scenery on both sides of the street.
After all, he was the leader of Jiangnan Province, and it was impossible for him to stay in the capital and wait for the results, so he returned to Jiangnan immediately after dealing with the affairs of the capital, and Director Tao had just met Professor Yang, who was born in Huaguo University of Science and Technology.
"Director Tao, is this year's funding going to be approved?" Professor Yang asked with a happy face as soon as he entered the door, he recently came to Beijing to apply for funding from the Major Project Division, but he didn't expect to get a response so quickly.
"Hehe, this question is still going through the procedure!" Director Tao gently pushed the topic away, "I asked you to come over this time for something else, you are an authority in the field of nuclear fusion, and I have a copy of information related to nuclear fusion that I would like you to help review!"
"Oh, what kind of information is it?" Professor Yang, who had just been a little disappointed because the fee approval had not been completed, immediately recovered his spirit as soon as he heard that there was new information.
"A document that can increase tritium production!" said Director Tao, pointing to the USB flash drive on the table.
"Oh, come and show me!" Professor Yang's eyes lit up, and he reached for a USB flash drive, the most expensive element in the world is californium, which can reach tens of millions of dollars per gram due to its rarity, difficulty in manufacturing, and great role in cancer treatment, and tritium is also expensive. The current international price per gram is 30,000 US dollars, or is there no market.
Nuclear fusion usually uses tritium and deuterium as reaction materials, and Professor Yang's project team spends a lot of money on tritium every year.
"Hehe, it's good that Professor Yang is interested!" Director Tao took the opportunity to get up and shake hands. Quietly stopped Professor Yang, beckoned to the secretary, "You and I will take Professor Yang to the office upstairs, and Professor Yang will help serve tea and water while reviewing the materials!"
The three of them came upstairs together, turned on the computer and inserted it into the USB flash drive, and after Director Tao personally entered the password that Qin Feng told him, a document was displayed.
"Professor Yang, this work will be entrusted to you! If you need anything, just say it to Xiao Xiao, I'll go and get busy first!" Director Tao didn't forget to give a sweet date when he was about to go out. "When this work is over, I'll help you urge the funding!"
"En!" Professor Yang was already immersed in the information at the moment, his eyes staring straight at the screen, and his mouth answered two sentences casually.
Tritium exists in nature in very small quantities, when the high-energy neutrons carried by cosmic rays bombard the deuterium nucleus, and the deuterium nucleus combines with neutrons to form a tritium nucleus. In industry, the neutrons of the reactor are used, and the lithium 6 compound is used as the target. Tritium is produced and then used by the thermal diffusion method. The tritium is enriched to more than 99%.
It's conceivable that the cost of producing tritium in this way would be very high, but scientists have not yet found a more economical way to produce it.
Keeping in mind the boss's advice, Secretary Yu sat silently next to him, ready to wait for Professor Yang's instructions to solve various problems in the research process for him, but Professor Yang opened the document from the beginning. It was as if the eyes were glued to the screen, and they didn't move except for their fingers sliding the scroll wheel.
He kept muttering, "I've never seen this method in the data!But the technical requirements don't seem to be particularly high, and it should be possible to do it with the current state of the art!Hmm? This formula seems to be interesting."
After half a day, Professor Yang finally raised his head. Looking left and right, as if he was looking for something, Secretary Yu quickly stood up, "Professor Yang, what are you looking for?"
"Bring me some pen and paper, there's a formula on it I want to calculate!" Professor Yang asked a little anxiously when he couldn't find what he was looking for on the table.
"I just have it here!" Secretary Yu took two quick steps, pulled out a stack of A4 papers from the printer, and then took out a signature pen from his handbag and handed it to Professor Yang.
If you want to achieve something in physics, you must have mathematical skills, and it is no problem to become a professor in the mathematics department of a general university according to Professor Yang's level, but in the face of this small formula, more than ten pieces of paper have been wasted and have not been analyzed clearly.
"Tea!" I'm a little thirsty after a busy day!
"Okay, do you want black tea, green tea, or flower tea?" asked Secretary Yu, who had already prepared these things, walked to the cabinet where the tea was kept.
"How can there be so much exquisiteness! Just quench your thirst!" Professor Yang, who is obsessed with formulas, treats this place as his own office, and treats Secretary Yu as his graduate student.
"It's too hot!" Professor Yang said, staring at the calculation process on the paper, taking a sip from the teacup.
Yes, I will serve you well today, and Secretary Yu rebrewed a cup and handed it over.
"Too light!"
I'll bear with it, I'll add some more tea!
"It's too strong!"
"It's too cold!Forget it, what else can you do if you can't even brew a tea leaf?, just get me a calculator now!" Professor Yang shouted again.
"Yes, right away!" Secretary Yu took out the phone and whispered two words, and after a while, outsiders sent in more than a dozen calculators of different sizes and functions.
After a bang, Professor Yang still couldn't succeed, he knew that he might not be able to solve this problem according to his own ability, so he rubbed his temples, "Then who, I'm going to invite a few experts in mathematics to come over and help!"
"Just call me small!" The corner of the secretary's eyes twitched for a while, I was busy here, serving tea and handing water for a long time, you didn't even remember my name, if it weren't for the boss's orders, believe it or not, if I was in the Ministry of Science and Technology for a day, you wouldn't want a penny for your project!
"Do you want to invite those experts over?" Secretary Yu took out a small notebook to prepare for the record, Director Tao had already instructed that the experts who could access this information should be carefully selected, and he had to report this list to Director Tao for decision. (To be continued.) )
