Twenty minutes later.

The car stopped at the door outside the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

Just when Lu Zhou got off the car, it happened that Sheng Xianfu had just arrived here.

Seeing Lu Zhou, he said hello and walked over here.

"Coincidentally, I was just about to call you."

"It's good that you didn't make this call, and I didn't stop calling," Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "How are you doing lately?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little too idle, a person like me who can't be idle, it is estimated that he will have to work hard for the rest of his life," Speaking of this, Sheng Xianfu smiled mockingly, looked at Lu Zhou and said, "How is it?" I'm kind of righteous. As soon as I heard that you had summoned me, I left my job as the director and ran to you. For the sake of my morality, now I can finally tell me what project we are going to do, right? ”

Slightly stunned, Lu Zhou glanced at him unexpectedly: "Didn't the Bureau of Science and Industry inform you what the project was?" ”

Sheng Xianfu shook his head.

"The person who came to talk to me only said that it was confidential, and I can't say what it is."

"Is it that serious?" Smiled unconsciously, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and continued, "If you don't notice, then don't notice, anyway, please come over today, I also plan to talk about this matter, come with me." ”

Following Lu Zhou, the two walked through the main entrance of the Institute for Advanced Study, came to the building of the Institute of Physics, and walked into a conference room at the corner of the corridor.

When the two arrived, there were already a dozen people seated.

In addition, in the conference room, there is a whiteboard covered with gray plastic sheeting, which will be used in a while.

By entering the door, Sheng Xianfu simply glanced at the people sitting in the conference room.

Among them, there are people he knows, such as Professor Li Changxia of Nanhua University and Academician Li Jiangang of Luyang Institute of Physics. There are also people he doesn't know, but he has heard of them.

For example, the old man who wore a wool vest on the outside and had gray hair and temples was none other than Academician Yu Jiannan of the Institute of Engineering Physics and the Institute of Fluid Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the list of designers of the "Julong No. 1" laser ignition device made by the Huawu Institute and the Shanghai Optical Machinery, the name of this great bull is prominently listed.

Compared with the "Shenguang" series ignition device, Julong No. 1 is far superior to the former in terms of performance and core technology leadership. It includes 1,440 pulsed capacitors, 720 field distortion switches, 24 laser-triggered gas switches, and 12 high-performance lasers.

Now laser ignition and inertial restraint have basically turned to the military industry, and the Julong No. 1, which was built by the original team of the Shenguang series ignition device, has made this clear, and it was prepared for nuclear tests from the beginning of its design. And whether it is in the miniaturization or integration of the laser array, this equipment has achieved the world's leading level.

Sheng Xianfu had only heard of the name of this big bull before, but he had never seen it, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to see it today.

There were also some people who looked at the face, he couldn't name them, and he didn't have much impression. But since I'm sitting here, it's obviously not an idle person, but it's probably not in the circle of plasma physics and controlled fusion engineering.

Thinking of this, Sheng Xianfu's heart couldn't help but sigh.

Being elected as an academician in itself means that the professor's prestige, status and connections in the academic community far exceed those of ordinary scholars.

In any research institute, an academician is an academic leader. A strong research group is generally led by academicians, with a core team composed of professors and researchers at the level of Changjiang Scholars, and then there are small Boos such as Qingqian and Jieqing, as well as countless postdoctoral and doctoral research dogs. As for master's and undergraduate students, there may be, but they are generally not counted among them.

It can pull a group of academicians to form a core team.

In China, apart from Professor Lu, few people seem to be able to do it......

Thinking that he had hesitated to come before, Sheng Xianfu's heart was ashamed.

Although no one will blame him if he doesn't come, it must be him who loses.

After all, such an opportunity may not be encountered several times in a lifetime.

If you grasp it, it will be of great help to the selection of academicians and to go further academically.

Looking at the people who had been sitting here for a while, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and said, "I've made everyone wait for a long time, I just came from the school." ”

Academician Li Jiangang smiled and said, "It's not in the way, we have almost just arrived." Let's wait until the meeting is over, and suddenly I was called here, I don't even know what our project is going to do, you have time to talk about this first. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, in order not to delay everyone's time, I won't waste more time on greetings." ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhou's face was slightly straightened, and he walked to the whiteboard in the conference room, and reached out to uncover the plastic sheeting on it.

Looking at the content on the whiteboard, at least half of the people in the conference room were stunned, and half of them were expressionless.

Sheng Xianfu, who did not know the specific content of the project before, obviously belongs to the former.

However, his heart was shocked at the moment, and it was not entirely due to accident.

And surprise......

"It's ......"

The voice trembled slightly, staring at the content on the whiteboard in disbelief, Sheng Xianfu's mouth opened and closed stiffly, but he couldn't say anything about the second half of the sentence.

"Miniaturized controllable fusion reactors, or fusion batteries," looking at the expression on his face, Lu Zhou smiled and explained kindly, "Anyway, it's almost the same." ”

Ignoring the surprise of the crowd, he cleared his throat and Lu Zhou continued.

"Regarding the miniaturization of controlled fusion technology, I have already done a demonstration of the technical feasibility, and I will send the relevant papers to your mailbox. Of course, in a few days, you will also be able to read about it in the Journal of Nuclear Physics, so I will not repeat it here. ”

"I invite you to come over today, mainly for a brief meeting and assign your respective research tasks."

Lu Zhou clicked on the whiteboard with a laser pointer and continued.

"The roadmap on the whiteboard is the general research plan of the whole project, and the content may be a little abstract, but I think it is still relatively comprehensive, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Sheng Xianfu, who had recovered from his surprise, raised his hand: "I have a question......

Lu Zhou: "Please speak." ”

Carefully staring at the road map on the whiteboard, Sheng Xianfu frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why inertial constraints?" We have significantly more experience with magnetic confinement than with inertial confinement. ”

"That's a good question," Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "The reason why magnetic restraint was not chosen is because the magnetic field overflow will interfere with the normal operation of other precision components on the spacecraft, and secondly, to save space on the spacecraft." ”

"It's impossible to put a superconducting magnet covering thousands of square meters on a plasma engine for a thigh-thick core, at least for now, and it's not necessary."

"When it comes to maintaining the fusion reaction, we chose pulse ignition, which does not need to maintain the stable operation of the plasma in the reflection chamber for a long time, and only needs the reaction to occur quickly."

Li Jiangang frowned: "Pulse ignition?" Putting aside the advantages and disadvantages of magnetic and inertial confinement, what do you plan to use to offset the radiation damage of the neutron beam to the material after removing the liquid lithium neutron recovery system? ”

"I'll get to that later," Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued.

"The design idea of the entire nuclear battery can be roughly divided into three parts, the first part is the core component of integration and fuel, which will be solved by me personally. The second part is the generator set connected to the core, which I would like to leave to the nuclear industry group. ”

Academician Wang Zengguang: "Do you use a magnetofluid generator set?" ”

Lu Zhou shook his head: "Not necessarily, this depends on what the reactor is designed to look like, according to specific needs." ”

At this point, he paused and continued.

"As for the third plate, it is the ignition of the reactor. Since we use the technical route of inertial restraint and pulse ignition, I am personally more optimistic about laser ignition in the heating path. Of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility of microwave heating. ”

"The research of this section is very important, and I hope that Academician Li Jiangang and Academician Yu Jiannan will be in charge, and they will study from two different technical routes: laser ignition and microwave ignition."

Old Academician Yu Jiannan thought for a while and said, "I don't have any opinion, but the space occupied by the laser ignition device is also not small, and if you want to install that thing on the spacecraft, I'm afraid there will still be some difficulties." ”

"I know," Lu Zhou nodded, "that's why we need to experiment." ”

"The budget given by the Bureau of Science and Industry is very sufficient, everyone can put forward any good ideas, and we have enough funds to find solutions or ideas to solve problems."
