Chapter 492: Visiting Nanhua University
The predecessor of Nanhua University was Hengyang Institute of Technology, which can be traced back to Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
In 59 years, in the context of the development of nuclear weapons and nuclear industry in China, the state moved the former Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to Hengzhou and other professional departments.
At the end of the 60s, it was closed due to special reasons, and then reopened in the 80s under the leadership of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry and the Hunan Provincial Government in the form of Hengyang Institute of Technology, and finally changed its name to Nanhua University in the 90s, which has continued until now.
In a sense, the fate of this school since its birth has been linked to the fate of the republic.
Although it is not 211 or 985, its nuclear engineering major is in the forefront of the country, and it also sent a large number of nuclear industry talents to the Republic in that special era.
And now, it is still playing its own light and heat.
Even if the stellarator is not a particularly supported project in China, and it is the coldest corner of the unpopular pit of controlled nuclear fusion, there is still a scientific research team of more than 30 people engaged in research in this field.
The purpose of Lu Zhou's trip is very clear, that is, to dig people.
Of course, the purpose is so red, it is not very friendly to Nanhua University.
Nominally, he still came here for a visit in the name of academic exchanges.
And to be honest, if this thing happens, it will actually be good for Nanhua University.
As for the purpose of Lu Zhou's sudden visit to his small temple, the leaders of Nanhua University may or may not have guessed it.
But in any case, if a Nobel Prize scholar comes to the university to give a report, even if he is transferred to Mizukiyan University, it is enough to put up a banner to welcome it......
γWelcome Professor Lu Zhou to our university to give academic lecturesγ
Looking at the banner unfurled overhead, the college student with the textbook under his elbow said to the roommate next to him with an inexplicable expression.
"You said that Lu Shen ran away, and we came to this small place."
The bigger boy shook his head: "The devil knows." β
Walking to the other side, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the tall, skinny student said, "Isn't there a new research center for controlled nuclear fusion in Jinling?" It seems that Professor Lu is in charge. I guess it's for our school's H1 stellarator. β
The college student, who had his textbook between his elbows, asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?" β
The tall student habitually pushed his glasses again, "Normal, it hasn't been reported much on the news, but this doesn't seem to be a secret, and I also heard from the seniors in the club who are engaged in nuclear engineering." β
At this time, the guy who hadn't spoken all this time spoke: "It has nothing to do with us, let's go to class quickly." β
"That's right." A few people nodded, and walked briskly in the direction of the classroom.
In fact, even if they wanted to, there was no place for them at this time.
At the same time, the No. 1 staircase classroom of Nanhua University was already full.
Sitting in the audience were not only students from Nanhua University, but also many professors and lecturers from Nanhua University, as well as universities from the city and even the provincial capital.
In addition to those students and professors, there are also reporters from Hunan Provincial TV Station.
A pair of cameras are pointed at the stage, and everyone is waiting for the person standing on the stage to speak.
Looking at the crowded scene in the audience, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
Speaking of which, the last time I gave a lecture was in Stockholm.
It's been almost three months now.
Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Zhou nodded to the staff next to him and signaled that he could start.
Standing in front of the microphone and clearing his throat, after quieting down in the ladder classroom, Lu Zhou spoke slowly.
"Many people have asked me why we have to work thanklessly to study nuclear power, because we have the Three Gorges, we have coal mines, our power generation ranks first in the world, and our thermal power, hydropower and power grid technology are leading in the world."
"My answer to this question is that scientific research should not only focus on immediate investment and short-term gains, but also have a long-term vision and the courage to face difficulties."
"On a sufficiently large spatial and temporal scale, nuclear energy is the ultimate energy source for mankind. Because we have the world's largest population base and power a quarter of the planet's electricity, it's all the more important that we optimize our energy mix to make it cleaner, more efficient, and cheaper. β
"In addition, not only the controlled nuclear fusion technology itself, but also every major scientific research project can bring us more than just the value of the project itself. Just as when I was studying the existential problem of the solution of the NS equation, I discovered the differential geometric solution of the L manifold and the partial differential equation. In terms of the importance of the results alone, all the treasures we find on the way to the end of the labyrinth are no less than the achievements that come from crossing the labyrinth itself. β
"Taking controlled nuclear fusion as an example, in the study of controlled nuclear fusion, our superconducting technology has been developed, we have gone deep into the interior of high-temperature plasma, we have created more powerful magnets, and we have been able to get a lot out of it."
With a few sentences to introduce the theme of the lecture, Lu Zhou picked up the marker from the multimedia lectern, turned to face the whiteboard next to him, and simply wrote on the whiteboard with the explanation of popular language.
Sitting in the audience and taking notes, Wang Xuehai accidentally touched the pen cover to the ground, when he bent down to pick it up, and looked at the whiteboard in front of the stage again, he was stunned to find that the lines on the blackboard were like the equations of the book of heaven, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Looking at the podium with a confused face, Wang Xuehai couldn't help asking, "What is he writing?" β
Sitting next to him, Fang Jie, who was also studying nuclear physics with him, pushed his glasses, although he didn't understand it too well, but he didn't look confused: "It seems to be a mathematical model of plasma turbulence?" In which literature have I seen it. β
Wang Xuehai: ", isn't it a lecture of a popular science nature?" Is it so hardcore? β
Fang Jie glanced at him: "Otherwise, don't be a Nobel Prize-level scholar, it's impossible to talk to you about what you have and don't have the whole process." β
Wang Xuehai couldn't help but say: "Does anyone understand what he said about this thing?" β
To be honest, he asked himself about his professional level and ability.
However, plasma turbulence is a cutting-edge research field in plasma physics in the world.
He majored in nuclear physics, and his research direction was more engineering than theory, and if he hadn't gone through ten days and half a month of preparation, it would have been impossible to understand this kind of esoteric thing.
Closing the notebook in his hand, Fang Jie shook his head and pointed to the seats in the front row of the lecture hall with his chin.
"It doesn't matter if we understand it or not, if you look at the old professors of our Institute of Nuclear Physics, and the expressions on their faces, you can know how important what he said."
As the doctoral student said, in the second half of the lecture, Lu Zhou's lecture has gone from the easy-to-understand scientific content to one of the core areas of controlled nuclear fusion, that is, the research on high-temperature pressure plasma.
In fact, he has written several papers on the results of his research, and the Max Planck Society gave a brief presentation to his peers at last year's European Nuclear Summit on his main paper.
However, compared with a simple paper and the summary report made by others based on his thesis, it is naturally far less penetrating than his own explanation of the thesis. For researchers in the field of controlled nuclear fusion and plasma physics, what he said in the lecture can also be said to be very useful.
In fact, this is the reason why many professors come from the provincial capital.
If it weren't for the lack of time, maybe there would have been international friends who came by plane from abroad to listen to his report.
The last line of the equation was written on the whiteboard, and Lu Zhou's explanation was also at the end.
Placing the marker on the multimedia lectern, he paused for a moment, looked at the audience, and continued.
"Your university is a strong school in the field of nuclear engineering, and you are all the mainstay of the future and engineering field, and the future of our nuclear engineering industry depends on you!"
