"It's raining outside?"

An hour later, Professor Lin Menglin walked in from outside with an umbrella and a scarf, and Lu Yi saw this and picked up the remote control to turn up the heating by two degrees and poured a cup of hot water.

There are no windows in the laboratory area to supply air by the ventilation system, and Lu Yi, who has been in the laboratory for a day, does not know what the weather is like outside.

"Well, it's a little cold."

Lin Meng took the hot water handed over by Lu Yi, and stood at the heating outlet and felt warm.

In Yangcheng, where there is no snow, once it rains and winds in winter, the temperature of people's bodies is not higher than that of the environment in the north of minus ten degrees.

"This is the data analysis result of the second experiment at 58,000 degrees Celsius just now, and after preliminary analysis and comparison, it is completely different from Xiaomeng's data at 45,000 degrees Celsius."

Zhang Qing came in with a preliminary analysis of the latest data, and shook his head with some disappointment at Lu Yi.

Plasma is a fluid, but it is not the same as a normal fluid.

First, with the change of temperature, the loss and gain of external electrons will also change accordingly, resulting in a change in properties.

Second, the higher the temperature, the stronger the mutual motion of the plasma itself, which will also affect the overall properties of the plasma.

The third is the collision interference between the bound magnetic field and the plasma, which will also form a complex fluctuation with the change of plasma temperature density and the change of magnetic field strength.

The combination of these three factors is enough to create a chaotic and extremely turbulent flow inside the plasma, and even a truly controllable fusion device with temperatures of tens of millions of degrees Celsius, and fusion reactions already occurring inside, which add another source of interference to this chaotic system.

Of course, the prototype on Lu Yi's side is not so powerful at present, and the fourth factor can be ignored for the time being.

"Lu Lu, it can't go on like this, we can't continue to study until the supercomputer is built, without the assistance of a more powerful supercomputer, Xiaomeng doesn't have the energy to build a mathematical model for each temperature range, and even the supercomputer being built is not enough."

Zhang Qing sighed, the plasma turbulence was even more inscrutable than that of a girl in her menstrual period.

Plasma turbulence at 45,000 degrees Celsius is a model, and 45,000 degrees Celsius to 57,999 degrees Celsius is also suitable for a data model, but it is completely different when the temperature is increased to 58,000 degrees Celsius.

Lin Meng can build a mathematical model for each detection data, but this mathematical model is only applicable to the plasma in the current temperature density range, and when the temperature changes beyond this range, the corresponding data will be completely different, which is a new model problem.

It's the same as superconducting materials, everything doesn't change until the critical temperature is reached, but once the critical temperature is reached, up and down 0.001 degrees Celsius, it's two different worlds.

And the most terrifying thing is that with the increase of plasma body temperature and density, there will be more and more collision data, and the difficulty of building the corresponding mathematical model will be greater, which is not only a burning of money, but also a burning of the brain.

"Little dream, can't you still find that connection between all the data models?"

Lu Yi looked at Lin Meng, the girl who was about to celebrate her 19th birthday used her amazing talent and powerful thinking to analyze and sort out the detection data one by one in the chaos during this time, and built mathematical models for them one by one.

"At present, there is no, the mathematical model of 3000 degrees Celsius to 45000 degrees Celsius is divided into 6 intervals, and the data of these 6 intervals seems to be a gradual evolution process, but I can't find the slightest regular connection and can't be unified, I don't know if it's because we have too little data or if there are other reasons."

Lin Meng shook her head, she knew that for the sake of these data, Lu Yi's single assembly and construction of the prototype and the total loss of each experiment had been smashed into no less than 10 million US dollars, and with the increase of the temperature density of the plasma experiment, this loss would increase exponentially.

She wanted to find the data model that Lu Yi wanted as soon as possible without consuming more money, but she couldn't find the slightest way.

"We don't study the supercomputer before it is built, we collect data first."

Lu Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Meng's hair, and said like a cat: "Have a good rest these days, continue to analyze after the supercomputer is completed, if the computing speed of 130,000 TFlop/s is not enough, let's rent other people's supercomputers and get together." ”

"Uh-huh."

Lin Meng nodded obediently, looking at the satisfaction index that came out, Lu Yi smiled a little bitterly in his heart, even if this girl is a professor, it is still so easy to be satisfied.

"Lu Lu, you are a big gamble."

Zhang Qing next to him saw that Lu Yi didn't want to give up, his face changed, and he said: "Controllable nuclear fusion, in addition to the problem of plasma turbulence, ultra-high-temperature resistant materials and superconducting materials with lower temperatures or even room temperature are also the key, and there is a relatively high probability of breakthrough in putting hundreds of millions of dollars in material research." ”

"I know that there will be corresponding projects for the materials in the future, and now we will study plasma turbulence first."

Lu Yi exhaled deeply and said: "Since we see the connection between low temperature and high temperature, it should be that our data is not enough, after Huawei Mobile Telecom and they become shareholders, I can personally get 2.1 billion US dollars in funds and 1 billion stop loss." ”

The subsequent three-party shareholding, the valuation has increased to 15 billion US dollars, Lu Yi's shares have dropped from 60 percent to 28.5 percent, according to the agreement, half of which belongs to corporate financing, and half belongs to personal sales, so he can get 2.3 billion US dollars, and repay the 200 million and more than 2.1 billion borrowed from the company before.

This is a big gamble, the more the experiment goes to the back, and every experiment is equivalent to smashing a suite in Yangcheng.

It is important to know that there is a limit to the detection of plasma by particles emitted by particle accelerators, and the higher the temperature density, the greater the emission intensity required.

When the emission intensity reaches a certain intensity, the collision between the emitted particles and the ions in the plasma will reach a terrifying magnitude, resulting in collision and shattering, and completely losing the detection effect.

If we have not found that connection within this limit, unified all the data models, and deduced the data of plasma turbulence phenomena in the tens of millions of degrees Celsius, that is, the controllable base temperature of nuclear fusion, this experiment will be a failure, and all the money and resources will be wasted.

"Since you don't want to give up, let's go ahead, but there is a request, we will increase the temperature increase from 1000 degrees Celsius to 2000 degrees Celsius for each experiment, so that we will not miss the interval change, and we can save some money."

"Okay."

Lu Yi nodded, $2.1 billion seems like a lot, but it may not be able to make a splash on controlled nuclear fusion, so if you can save a little, you can save a little.
