After struggling to deal with the group of CERN experts, Duke declined Dr. Hertz's invitation, and he was on a trip, and who knew that it would take a whole day to make a presentation.

Although Shuya and the others didn't say anything about it, Duke didn't want to turn the trip into a business trip, so he spent the next few days happily with his family in Switzerland for seven or eight days, basically visiting the famous places of interest in Switzerland.

When it was time to return home, Hertz unexpectedly came to the door again.

"Dr. Duke, that's what happened, we have a new type of reactor system that we are working on, which is a subcritical reactor that is connected to a particle accelerator by a subcritical device to form a complete fission reactor system." After the greetings, Hertz went straight to the point.

"To put it simply, the way this system works is to send a proton beam to the target through a particle accelerator, and the neutrons produced can trigger the fission reaction of the reactor, and people can control the particle accelerator to control the whole fission reaction not to enter a critical state.

So the fission reaction of the whole reactor relies on the particle accelerator, and when the particle accelerator stops emitting proton beams, the reactor stops immediately, which is as safe as Dr. Duke's catalyst method.

However, there are many problems with this reactor at present, the main one is that it is not efficient and the structure is too complex, although under experimental conditions, this reactor can work, and we are very much looking forward to Dr. Duke joining this research project to improve this reactor system together. ”

After Hertz finished speaking, he looked at Duke expectantly, for fear that Duke would refuse directly.

He is a senior director at CERN, one of the most important projects he manages, and after listening to Duke's Lotus report, experts working on the new reactor keenly realized that if some of Duke's catalytic technology could be borrowed, it would be possible to take a big step forward in the research of this new reactor system.

Duke not only theoretically expounded the feasibility of catalytic nuclear fission, but also irrefutably proved the correctness of this theory through the lotus pile.

Therefore, the senior experts in the project strongly suggested to Hertz that Dr. Duke be invited to participate in this new reactor research project, with the aim of using Duke's unique catalytic fission technology to solve many problems in the existing project.

Duke had heard of the method and principle of fission generation, but because the research in this field was basically still in a very rudimentary state, and the relevant public information and paper results were rarely reported, although Duke knew the general principle, there was a lack of specific technical information such as the process equipment for detailed reactor construction.

Duke did not expect Dr. Hertz to invite him to work on this project. Europe is the most advanced in this field of research, and on the plus side, Duke was immediately able to access the top level of research in this area, and with Kerry's super learning ability, he was able to quickly replicate the technology here.

However, Duke knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and it is impossible for him to get these things without paying a price.

What to do? Thinking of his lotus pile, Duke knew that if he could graft with this technology, he would be able to solve the problems in the first generation of lotus piles, so this was a great opportunity.

However, if there is a breakthrough in the development of this reactor, Duke will not be able to prevent the emergence of a new strong competitor.

It's a really hard question to decide.

Although Duke was silent on the surface, countless thoughts turned in his heart like a river and a sea, and in Hertz's eyes, Duke's silence seemed to be refused, and now he was considering the wording, Hertz couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Dr. Duke, we have a very transparent sharing mechanism in terms of the intellectual property generated by the research of the project, which can ensure that the contribution of the PhD is well rewarded." Dr. Hertz added.

He is right, in terms of intellectual property protection, Europe is the birthplace, has a complete protection mechanism, CERN, as the center of more than 500 famous universities in Europe and even the world to study high-energy particles, has always handled intellectual property rights very well.

Duke listened to this and his heart moved, although this experimental reactor may get a breakthrough in advance because of himself, but in terms of the conversion speed from the experimental reactor to the commercial reactor, due to the lack of a super powerful analog computer like Kerry, it is obviously much different from himself.

Under normal circumstances, it is already super-fast to be able to evolve an experimental reactor into a commercial reactor in 5 to 8 years, and you can achieve this conversion in 2 to 3 years at most, and if the conditions are sufficient to start the process of commercial experimental reactors immediately after the completion of the experimental reactor, then this conversion time can be much faster than that of competitors.

In the past few years, it is enough to get a large share in the market.

What's more, Duke urgently needs to improve the first generation of lotus piles, so that he can start the last key link in the Billem plan as soon as possible.

"Dr. Hertz, thank you so much for having me." Duque said with a smile, "I am very much looking forward to conducting research in this area with my European colleagues, hoping to develop new results that will benefit mankind as soon as possible." ”

When Dr. Hertz heard the first half of Duke, he thought that Duke was going to refuse, but before he could feel cold, he heard Duke agree, and couldn't help but say happily: "Thank you, Dr. Duke, welcome to the Myrrha project, I think with you joining, the probability of success of the Myrrha project has greatly increased." ”

The next question is some details, after Duke and Hertz negotiate the general intention, what kind of procedures need to be completed, and someone will naturally assist Duke in handling it.

Duke didn't expect to just go out and play, and he still couldn't escape the chase of work, but he was able to gain so much: from the Lotus stack being recognized by the vast majority of CERN experts, to being invited to participate in a very cutting-edge nuclear reaction research project like Myrrha. It was completely unexpected.

However, what is even more unpredictable is that because of this unexpected trip, Duke was nominated for the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics by many senior experts. It is important to know that many senior physicists at CERN are invited to recommend candidates to the Nobel Prize selection committee.

The advent of Duke's paper on the principle of natural nuclear reactions and the Lotus Pile that verified the principle irrefutably proved the correctness of his theory, and in the eyes of many experts, it has the strength to compete for the Nobel Prize in physics.
