"Professor Lu, Professor Lin, Professor Zhang!"

I arrived at the General Assembly Hall by special car, and most of the participants had already arrived.

As soon as Lu Yi took Lin Meng and Zhang Qing to verify their identities, a middle-aged man with somewhat thinning hair greeted him and greeted him warmly.

"Don't, Professor Zhang is polite, there is only one Professor Lin here, and Zhang Qingke and I are still doctors."

Lu Yi hurriedly waved his hand, and the person who came over was Professor Zhang, who was studying stellars together at the University of South China.

From above, it was decided that there is no shortage of funds, no shortage of personnel, and no shortage of resources in related industries.

The national project stellar simulator is still in the process of design and construction, and Professor Zhang is not an ordinary eye fever for Lu Yi's only stellar simulator in China, and often discusses problems with Lu Yi, sharing his years of research experience while also rubbing equipment.

Of course, this is mutually beneficial, and Professor Zhang has studied some views and experiences of stellars for most of his life, which has also brought a lot of inspiration to Lu Yi and others.

"I guess it's not more than two years before I'll be a professor."

Professor Zhang was not embarrassed in the slightest, but the enthusiastic smile on his face made Lu Yi and the others feel a little astringent.

"That's a lot of people at this meeting."

didn't continue to dwell on this topic, Lu Yi looked around to change the topic.

In the conference hall, the number of people is estimated to be six or seven hundred, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was not good and kept discussing in a low voice, then this is probably a vegetable market.

"For the construction of the Max Planck Lab demonstration reactor, the above intends to unite the forces of various industries to concentrate on controlled nuclear fusion."

Professor Zhang looked at the crowd of people who had gathered together to chat in small groups in the venue, and said: "People from plasma physics, nuclear physics, materials and mathematics have all been invited, and the people have not yet arrived, and it is said that there are more than 800 people in total, all of whom are big names in the industry. ”

If the original controllable nuclear fusion project is not successful because of the huge investment, everyone is paddling and playing with snakes, and there is a lack of real fierce competition.

When Lu Yi brought the plasma turbulence model into the field, it was like a catfish mixed in a pond, allowing Max Planck Labs to take the lead in completing the breakthrough.

Controlled nuclear fusion has seen the light of day, and major countries and institutions have been stimulated to increase investment, and the basin of nuclear fusion has come alive.

Otherwise, the test and construction of the demonstration reactor will cost at least 10 billion US dollars, and Max Planck Labs alone does not have such a large capital, and the country will not hold this conference if it does not feel the pressure.

"This doesn't seem to have much to do with us, does it mean that you can still obey our command?"

Lu Yi smiled, but he didn't care too much about this.

Because even if it is united, those real bigwigs who do not lack projects and funds will not put down the projects in their hands and obey other people's research arrangements.

In fact, this is to increase the cooperation of funds and industry resources, which is not very attractive to him with independent funds.

"Who would dare to ignore you who are now concerned about controlled nuclear fusion, both nationally and internationally?"

Professor Zhang glanced at Lu Yi and asked in a low voice, "How much is the restriction time of tomorrow's stellar simulator?" ”

"68 minutes."

It has been half a month since the Max Planck Lab announced the start of the construction of the demonstration reactor, and during this time, Lu Yi and the others have not been idle, constantly starting the test to collect data, and then adjusting the control parameters of tomorrow's stellarator.

With a royal Fields Medal-winning mathematician on board, the results were good, with the constraint time going from 95 seconds to 68 minutes.

This one is faster than the previous Max Planck Lab's Spiral Stone 7-X.

After all, this is a control scheme, and before the control scheme reaches the current optimal state of the stellarator, the competition is for the efficiency of data collection and data analysis.

"68 minutes ......"

Professor Zhang's eyes widened and he asked in shock, "Is there room for further optimization of the control scheme?" ”

"It hasn't been adjusted to the optimal state, but if the control scheme is completely adjusted, it will probably be between 110 and 115 minutes."

Lu Yi shook his head with some pity, blue is better than blue, the predecessor of tomorrow's star simulator is WEGA, as the father of Spiral Stone 7-X, after all, it is still not as good as his son.

After all, on the premise of not adjusting the design and structure of the stellarator and replacing the new material components, the limit of the optimized control scheme is about 130 minutes.

However, this is the first time that the upper hand has been lost, and the follow-up competition is to see the improvement of the structural design of the stellarator, the breakthrough of material properties, and the competition of industrial technology between Lu Yi and Max Planck Laboratory.

As a father's tomorrow's stellar simulator, there is no possibility of suppressing his son.

"110 minutes!"

Professor Zhang showed a happy expression on his face, grinned happily and said: "I will say that the plasma turbulence model has been solved, and the stellar mimic definitely has more advantages than the current Tokmak, I think this time Old Man Wang is fighting with us!"

Professor Lu, the whole meeting is 3 days, and there is not much time left today, mainly to determine the charter of the next project.

Tomorrow, we will gather a few of our main leaders in controlled fusion research to determine where to focus our resources in the future.

Day 3 is all about developing an overall project plan and concentrating resources and forces to conquer controlled nuclear fusion.

There is no workable solution to the problems of magnetic plane tearing and magnetic islands on Tokmak's side, and the maximum constraint time is only 1262 seconds, so there is no doubt that the next focus will be on the stellarator side. ”

"It's very characteristic of our country."

Lu Yi smiled, shook his head and said, "But even if the stellar simulator reaches 110 minutes tomorrow, there is nothing to be happy about."

The latest constraint data on Max Planck's side the day before yesterday has reached 238 minutes, and the demonstration reactor is already being tendered for construction, and our side has not even met the preconditions for building a demonstration reactor. ”

"It's really nothing to be happy about in the face of Max Planck Labs' data that is constantly climbing closer and closer to commercialization, but it just helped me breathe a sigh of relief for many years."

Professor Zhang sighed: "In fact, everyone is under a lot of pressure now, if we can take the lead in completing the commercialization of nuclear fusion, even if the technology needs to be shared, the dilemma of my country for many years can be broken at once."

Through paid transactions, we can make up for the industrial machine technology and various high-tech and cutting-edge technologies that have fallen over the years, and dismantle the problems of territorial restrictions and island chain restrictions. ”

"The problem will be solved, and no one will dare to say who will be ahead until the first commercial fusion reactor really appears."

Lu Yi said with relief: "50 years ago, we were able to bloom the sunflower in less than 3 years, and today we can also bloom a small sunflower with a small sun......"
