Hearing Principal Xu's concern, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.

"Actually, it's nothing, maybe Mr. Zhou saw that my development was too smooth, and he was worried that I would surpass him one day, so he shouted in the newspaper and wanted me to stop and wait for him."

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Principal Xu shook his head.

"You're in a good state of mind, and you still have the heart to joke with me."

"It's not a big deal, and it's harmless to make a joke," Lu Zhou smiled nonchalantly and continued in a casual tone, "In Mr. Zhou's opinion, controlled nuclear fusion is his own reserve, and naturally he will not allow voices that are not under his control. To put it bluntly, this is not a problem of tokamaks and stellarstellars, no matter what I research, as long as the STAR stellarum project is not under his control, as long as my research shakes his authority, it is inevitable that he will have an opinion on me. ”

Principal Xu smiled and said, "...... You see it thoroughly, and you don't care at all? ”

"I really don't care much about what he says," Lu Zhou smiled faintly, "It may have an impact on another person, but it doesn't have that much impact on me." ”

“…… That's fine, but if he does anything out of the ordinary with you, you can tell me. I may not be able to help with your research, but I still have no problem writing two letters on my side," unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of hot tea, Principal Xu paused for a moment and continued, "Not only me, but also your mentor Lao Lu, the entire Jinda, we are all on your side." ”

Lu Zhou: "If it really gets to that point, I will speak." ”

"I'm relieved when you say that," Principal Xu nodded, "What I'm most worried about is not that something has gone wrong with your research, but that you haven't said anything about it." ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "You joked, am I the kind of person who will treat myself badly?" ”

"Okay, let's not be idle, I know you definitely didn't come here today for what I said," Principal Xu said with a smile, "Tell me, what trouble have you encountered?" ”

Changing into a serious expression, Lu Zhou continued to speak.

"I'm visiting you today mainly to talk to you about the program."

"Procedural issues? I'm good at that. Putting down the thermos cup in his hand, President Xu said with interest, "Let's hear it, even if I can't solve it, among the academicians of the Ministry of Information Technology, I can recommend a few people who can solve it." ”

Lu Zhou: "About the control scheme of the stellarator. ”

"The stellarator control scheme?" After hearing Lu Zhou's question, Principal Xu was slightly stunned and frowned, "This...... I don't really know much. Can you elaborate on that? ”

Lu Zhou nodded and explained the specific content of the problem to President Xu from an academic point of view.

In short, whether it's a tokamak or an stellar, the high-density plasma in the cavity is extremely unstable and turbulent all the time.

If the magnetic field that constrains the plasma is an invisible hand, the computer that controls the coils in the outer field is the brain. And it is not enough to have a brain, all the changes in plasma occur in an instant, it is impossible to be controlled by people, and these tasks can only be done by programs.

In this regard, the Max Planck Society has a relatively strong say, and the control scheme established based on the plasma turbulence model provided by Lu Zhou has successfully increased the running time of the Spiral Stone 7-X device to 30 minutes, which shocked the industry.

Now that the plasma turbulence model is ready-made, and the success of the Spiral Stone 7-X confirms that this idea is feasible, what Lu Zhou needs to do now is to prepare a reliable control scheme for his STAR unit as well.

The Institute for Advanced Study is not proficient in information technology, and his own three-legged cat programming skills are not a problem to develop a few small software, but it is still a little overwhelmed for a large-scale scientific research project such as a stellarator.

So, Lu Zhou set his sights on Jin Da.

As one of the strong majors of Jinda after physics, the strength of Jinda Software Institute can be regarded as the number one in China. In addition, President Xu is an academician of the Department of Information Technology Science, so it is perfect to ask him for help.

After listening to Lu Zhou's explanation, Principal Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the problems you mentioned are not just procedural problems, right?" ”

Lu Zhou said with some embarrassment: "Well, that's the case. ”

I'm ashamed to say that until now, the brain part of the STAR device has been missing not only software, but also hardware problems that need to be solved.

For example, the construction of supercomputers is a task that needs to be done by professionals.

President Xu sighed: "That's it, I'll convene a meeting of the professors of the School of Software tomorrow and set up a working group." Including the problem of control scheme, we will help you solve the problem of software and hardware together...... Let me probably ask, how much do you budget? ”

Lu Zhou thought about it and casually reported a number: "One hundred million." ”

Principal Xu: "......"

Lu Zhou hesitated: "Isn't it enough?" ”

No, he didn't want to build Taitianhe No. 2, how could 100 million be enough?

Principal Xu coughed lightly: "...... Nothing, totally enough, I was just a little surprised. ”

In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was that you people who engaged in controlled nuclear fusion are really rich, but it is too inconsistent with his identity to really say it.

With hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, I don't know how many professors I can support if I throw a project out.

It's no wonder that Zhou Chengfu was red-eyed.

"We can help you solve the supercomputing and control scheme here, is there anything else?"

Lu Zhou just wanted to say no, but suddenly remembered the staff sports meeting that Yang Xu and himself talked about a few days ago, so he spoke.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Principal Xu: "What's the matter?" ”

"This is not an important matter, that is, our research institute is planning to hold a sports meeting, but our own gymnasium has not been repaired yet," Speaking of this, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, "If it doesn't bother, I want to borrow a venue or something." ”

Hearing this request, Principal Xu said with a smile.

"That's it? Well, I'll go back and call the academic affairs side. By the way, it just so happened that Director Liu was also discussing with me about the faculty sports meeting some time ago, why don't we discuss it for a while and do it together? ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, I have no opinion." ”

Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and Jinling University themselves are a family, not only in cooperation on research topics, but also many researchers from the Institute for Advanced Study also have teaching positions in Jinling University, so it just so happens that everyone can enhance their relationship together.

And there is such a thing as a sports meeting, it is boring when there are fewer people, and it is naturally fun when there are more people.

Seeing that there was no problem with Lu Zhou's side, Principal Xu also slapped his thigh with a smile and readily agreed: "Okay, that's it, when we leave the venue, the prizes and other things will be handed over to you." ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

I always feel ......

There seems to be some strange convention mixed in.

But forget it, he's not short of money anyway.
