When Duke finished the supercomputing center, adjusted the hardware settings, improved and optimized the operating system, and completely transformed the Titan II supercomputer, the performance of Duke's special applications increased by nearly an order of magnitude.

After completing the optimization of this system, plus the development and transplantation of several simulation applications, almost half a month has passed, and Dr. Hertz of CERN has called several times, asking Duke to be in place as soon as possible to conduct research on subcritical nuclear reactions.

Since the previous two projects have not been completed in a phase, Duke can't leave at all, so he delayed Dr. Hertz's project for a long time, this time he finally freed his hands, packed his luggage, and Duke embarked on a journey back to Switzerland, but the last time it was for tourism, this time it was for work.

Duke behaves quite humbly when doing things with foreigners, and those things are also the objects that Duke needs to focus on, except for eating and sleeping, Duke spends most of his time in the laboratory, either studying the existing materials of the research project team, or discussing with those foreign colleagues in the research group.

At first, because Duke was not familiar with the things that the project team originally had, he listened to others more and said less himself, but soon the foreigners discovered that this mysterious genius from the East really had an amazing learning ability, and in a short period of time, he thoroughly understood the professional content of particle bombardment subcritical nuclear reactions.

What seemed to them to take years to get acquainted with, Duke became familiar with in a few weeks, and many of the professional materials Duke seemed to have the ability to remember, and this amazing performance completely impressed the same amazing experts in the same project team, and inadvertently, Duke got a new nickname for the Wonder Boy of the East.

Since the project team information is open to researchers from all over the world, what the corresponding Duke's experience findings are, once compiled into written materials and recorded, they are also shared by the project team. Because the project team is a loose structure, whether the research experts can speak in the project team depends entirely on their own research contributions to the project team.

After Duke basically mastered the basic theory of the nuclear reaction caused by the particle bombardment, he quietly copied the project team's simulation application to Kerry, and soon used Kerry's supercomputing power to obtain several very valuable research improvements, coupled with a relatively inefficient catalytic method that Duke selectively contributed, which suddenly increased the output efficiency of this subcritical nuclear reaction project by 20%.

Although all the research computer equipment of the research project is not connected to the external network, according to the idea of central management, this kind of project is completed by borrowing the essence of each family, so that the people involved in the research can remember some research ideas and go back, so that everyone can take what they need.

But in the end, the overall results were left in the center, and no one could copy all the content, so for the center, it still made a lot of money. But this time when encountering a freak like Duke, the research center was a wolf this time, and everything, all kinds of experimental data, and even the entire set of equipment process parameters were all seen by Duke and reflected in Kerry's memory bank.

This means that the research results of this research project for decades have been exhausted by Duke. The second-generation Lotus Pile began to take shape as Duke participated in the project.

With the experimental data here, combined with the existing data obtained by the lotus pile, after a large number of simulation calculations, the latest simulated reaction mode finally showed a sharp increase in efficiency, although there is still a gap of more than 90% from Duke's original design of the lotus pile, but now it can finally be increased to more than 80%.

This shows that this new way of thinking is correct.

It's just that after the introduction of this particle bombardment equipment, not only the cost has increased a lot, but the complexity of the whole system has skyrocketed, this new design, is not considered in the design scheme provided by Billem, security, monitoring, etc. Duke can only explore a little bit, establish relevant model simulation verification.

Unknowingly, Duke stayed in Switzerland for more than 2 months, and saw that the Spring Festival of 2016 was approaching. Since the R&D goals of the Dr. Hertz-led project had been met, Duke flatly declined Dr. Hertz's long-term invitation and returned to China before the Chinese New Year.

This trip was very fruitful, so that Duke was very satisfied, and when he returned home, he also had a satisfied look on his face, but after more than 2 months of not seeing him, Duke found that Shu Ya's expression seemed to be a little strange and a little depressed.

"What's wrong, Xiaoya? The nuclear power approval is still not settled? Duke asked.

Although when they were in Switzerland, the two often talked through online video calls, and they would communicate with each other, so that Duke knew that the approval of Dongfang New Energy's nuclear power project seemed to be progressing smoothly.

"Not yet, judging from the current situation, it is very suspenseful to get approval in the past two years." Shu Ya said lightly, looking a little absent-minded.

Even if things don't go well, shouldn't it be this expression? Duke's doubts deepened. was about to ask something more, but the mother on the side finally couldn't help but interject.

"When I got home, I still opened my mouth and closed my mouth to work, I said that you are not tired, silly son, it's rare that you don't know that Xiaoya is pregnant now?"

Xiaoya is pregnant? Duke didn't react for a while, and there was a burst of ecstasy in an instant, "I'm going to be a father, Xiaoya, why didn't you tell me earlier" After speaking, he pounced excitedly, and then carefully put his ear on Shu Ya's stomach, "I'll listen and see if the baby has any movement?" ”

"What a stupid child, it's only been a few months, what's going on now, it's Xiaoya, the pregnancy reaction is big, and you're not by her side, but you've suffered a lot." Duke's mother laughed and scolded. Now that there is nothing missing at home, just a little baby, and now that Shu Ya is pregnant, she can even make up for this shortcoming, how can Duke's mother be unhappy.

No wonder Xiaoya's expression was a little weird, it turned out to be prenatal depression, Duke finally understood. "Okay, from now on, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay at home with you until the baby is born." Duke looked at Shu Ya with an expression and said softly, speaking of which, Duke has focused on work in the past few years, and he is really a little negligent about Shu Ya.

Looking at Duke's sincere gaze, Shu Ya couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, then held Duke's hand tightly, put it on her stomach, and didn't say anything, the little baby inside was already three months old, and now she had a heartbeat, at this time, quietly, Duke seemed to feel the heartbeats of the three people together.
