Just when Chen Luo lamented that his doctor's life was extremely sad, he heard more heart-wrenching words from the mouth of the little junior sister.

"Senior brother, Director Ning told me before that as long as I complete the task he assigned, I can leave at any time. He told Uncle Zhuo that I would call Uncle Zhuo and that he would arrange a boat to pick me up tomorrow. Of course, Director Ning also said that there must be a fake note from you or him to give me. So senior brother, you will definitely grant me leave, right? ”

Saying that, Chen Xi put his hands together and made a gesture of prayer at Chen Luo.

She really didn't know how hard the privilege granted by her mentor to leave the moon base at any time was a big blow to her beloved senior brother.

At this time, Chen Luo was a little distracted, and he thought of his mentor's earnest teachings to him: "Don't always think about asking for privileges, no one in the scientists in so many laboratories in the three bases has privileges. Even the theoretical chief executive of the base cannot just walk away. What's more, it costs a lot to run such a large ship, and we are still in the initial stage of space exploration, so we need to save resources. As my student, my brother and sister, you have to lead by example, don't you? ”

At that time, he felt that the big boss's serious words were very right, and at the moment he only felt that his mentor's calf was really good.

The most infuriating thing is that the tutor actually asked the junior sister to approve the slip before leaving.

Is this to encourage the little girl to show off in front of him?

"Senior brother, senior brother, what do you want? Can you help me issue a certificate, it's a word. ”

Chen Xi's urging voice woke Chen Luo up from his distraction, and after looking at the delicate little junior sister in front of him, Chen Luo said seriously: "Little junior sister, have you ever thought that we are still in the initial stage of space exploration, and we have limited resources to ......?"

"Wow, the teacher is really like a god, he told me, if I ask you for approval, you may teach me to save resources...... Let me tell you, don't talk about this, he has already explained to Uncle Zhuo, let Du Arbo send a small boat to pick me up to Wu Gang, and then follow the ferry boat on Wu Gang back to Earth, and the cost does not need to go to the base's account. ”

"Who is Duarbé?" Chen Luo frowned and asked.

"Uh...... Old Mr. Dupontle? Didn't they all sponsor the construction of Base 3? ”

Chen Xi replied with a blink of eyes, and then explained as if he had thought of something: "By the way, the mentor also said that he didn't prepare this passage for you because he hoped that you could settle down in the lunar base and make the nuclear fusion project as soon as possible, and his Mars transformation plan is just short of the key technology chain here." He doesn't want you to be over 30 years old and not get your graduation certificate, which would be too embarrassing. ”

"Chen Xi, is that what you said? Can I be blamed for this? Let me ask you, who have you ever seen that a doctoral supervisor has set a threshold for students to graduate, and that controlled nuclear fusion can run stably and continuously for more than half a year after ignition before graduation? Do you think this is normal? ”

"Uh...... It's not too much, right? The tutor said that he gave you all the previous research materials, and also gave you an intelligent assistant exceptionally, as long as you don't have a big problem with your brain, you will definitely be able to make it. And my graduation requirement is that I must rely on my own efforts to win the Fields Medal in mathematics before the age of 26, and I also said that I will not graduate after the age of 26, well, this requirement is also difficult, right? ”

"Forget it, what about your pen computer, I'll give you a slip." Chen Luo didn't want to say anything, so he spread his hands directly.

He didn't bother to explain to the little girl that he had the face of his mentor, and there was a high probability that as long as he had a letter of recommendation, he would take the award. Chen Luo also didn't want the ugly story of the scholar to cast a shadow on the little junior sister's pure academic heart.

】

He can carry this kind of suffering alone.

Who made him a big brother?

"Thank you, senior brother, you are the best besides the mentor!"

Chen Luo took the portable computer handed by the little junior sister, pressed the electronic handprint on the leave slip that had been written, and then clicked to import the system, and after the prompt that the system passed, he casually handed the palm-sized auxiliary computer to Chen Xi.

"Okay, it's already reported, you can contact Director Zhuo. Thank you, brother, next time I come to Chang'e Base, I will bring you the best spicy chicken wings. ”

"Just remember to bring two extra pairs of flats."

Before Chen Luo's words fell, he saw that Chen Xi had already jumped up and down and disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel depressed again.

God is indeed the fairest, giving the little sister a genius mind, a beautiful face and a cheerful personality, and then confiscating her stupidity, ugliness and autism.

mmp！

……

Seeing the little junior sister disappear at the corner of the passage, Chen Luo subconsciously shook his head, then turned around and walked to the crossroads on the other side, turned right to the elevator, and walked into the elevator after verifying his identity. Pressing the button on the -5th floor, when the elevator opened again, a huge circular machine appeared in front of Chen Luo.

This is the controllable nuclear fusion project that Chen Luo is personally responsible for, and it is also his graduation project, codenamed Betelgeuse-1.

Before the advent of the N-series humanoid robots in the base, it was completely impossible for a PhD student to be in charge of such an ambitious project. Of course, even now, it's unlikely. But when the project is supported by a large amount of data, various key materials are backed by 18 world-class laboratories in the entire base, and there are anti-gravity material research breakthroughs as supplements, plus robots that can be constructed by inputting drawings, it becomes very simple.

Moreover, when the uncles and aunts in the large research base laboratory of the University of Space Exploration learned that Chen Luo's graduation project was to independently build a controllable nuclear fusion machine, they really felt sorry for this senior brother who was Ning Xiao's special trick. All of his research needs are basically directly at the top of the list.

Even if it's just a small screw......

Therefore, whenever Chen Luo faced this machine alone, all the anger in his heart disappeared, and the whole person was able to calm down in an instant.

Because Chen Luo knew that everything he hated about this base could be a height that a 99.9 percent infinite nine of his peers could not reach in his lifetime. This is the life he chose, ha, transforming a planet, making Mars, a barren land of storms everywhere, as livable as the earth, just thinking about it makes his soul tremble.

I have to say that his big boss's brainwashing and pie painting ability is really strong.

Betelgeuse-1 was conceived as a variant of laser fusion. The principle is actually very simple, it can probably be understood that a fuel ball with a very small diameter is evenly heated to about 100 million degrees, and under this high temperature and high pressure, the electrons outside the nucleus can get rid of the bondage of the nucleus, so that the two nuclei can attract each other and then touch together. When two nuclei merge, they form heavier nuclei. This process is accompanied by a tremendous release of energy.

The theory is clear, and even the math is that all the reaction data has been processed in great detail, but it is extremely difficult to make this thing work reliably. Not to mention controllable. It can be painful to fully understand the complex wires inside.

However, Chen Luo has spent seven years on this machine.

After Ning Xiao was sure that he could get a master's diploma, he was assigned this task, and all the papers he sent during this period were done around this machine. Winning many awards has indeed solved many problems.

For example, how to improve the efficiency of converting the total energy of the incident laser into the implosion energy of the target pellet; The heating and compression process in the implosion compression process are separated, which greatly improves the safety; and how to effectively control the nonlinear growth of plasma fluid instability during implosion.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Chen Luo's opinion, the machine in front of him is definitely more important than his life.

The only problem is that the current controllable fusion generator can only operate stably for about 100 hours, which can cause all kinds of unknowable problems.

It's true that these are all unknowable questions, because many of them arise randomly.

However, Chen Luo is not discouraged, first, this machine already represents the world's most advanced nuclear fusion technology; Second, Ning Dao just helped him test the machine some time ago, and gave him that he only needs to solve some small problems, so that the stable operation time of the machine can reach more than 300 hours, so the stable operation for half a year or even longer will not be a problem.

Although there are many complaints about the unreliability of the tutor in other aspects, Chen Luo believes in Ning Xiao unconditionally in academics. Because the mentor has never missed any academic controversy, from the lunar base to the extremely complex Mars artificial capture quality plan, when it is implemented, a group of big scientists in the command room of Nuwa have to quarrel and quarrel every day, and in the end, it is his mentor who stands on which side will definitely win. Or even win unilaterally.

The arguments are well documented...... Forget it, there is actually nothing to say about the demeanor of the learning valve, Chen Luo has long been used to it.

After cleaning up his emotions, Chen Luo came to the console, opened the operating computer connected to Betelgeuse No. 1, turned on the computer and verified his identity, and then took out his portable personal computer from his pocket and put it directly on the console, and the system prompted that it had been connected at any time.

Basically, the operating system of all the intelligent brain devices in the school is the Hongmeng system jointly developed by the base and Youwei Group. The biggest advantage is that it has a cross-platform compatible database, as well as an intelligent and secure multi-device authentication mode and a high-speed data exchange mode between devices.

Simply put, it's safe and convenient.

It was as if Chen Luo was synchronizing with Betelgeuse-1's operating computer at this time, and after receiving Chen Xi's calculation results yesterday, he was fine-tuning the internal signal structure of Betelgeuse-1.

This fine-tuning is mainly based on the calculation results of the little junior sister, after the simulation in the brain, it is believed that the frequent problems of Betelgeuse No. 1 after a period of operation are mainly due to insufficient internal ablation pressure, which leads to the mixing of fuel in a certain link in the polymerization process, resulting in uneven internal energy distribution, resulting in a nonlinear increase in the load of the pressure cylinder.

When the pressure cylinder is in an unstable state for a long time, and after reaching a critical value for a long time, the safety strategy designed by Betelgeuse 1 will be triggered, resulting in active shutdown. At the same time, because the internal load is unstable, coupled with the special environment of high temperature and high pressure, the sensors around the body can not accurately determine the internal state, so there is a situation of frequent fancy errors.

Chen Xi is only responsible for calculating various variables mathematically, and then simulating the range of possible errors through the intelligent brain, and the specific adjustments can only be made by Chen Luo himself.

No, it can't be said that he did it himself, he just re-modified the design on the brain, and after entering it into the main control computer, there will naturally be a robot responsible for the practical operation according to the instructions.

That's right, the world's most advanced laboratory is currently such a workflow, and there are very few places that really need the hands of resident scientists, and the situation where graduate students wash bottles and wash until they vomit has almost disappeared with the popularization of robots.

Now the N-series scientific research robot has begun to develop the sixth generation, even the poorest laboratory can buy second-hand N1 series scientific research robot at a very low price, which can be more trouble-free than letting students wash, especially for the preparation work before the experiment, which is definitely much more assured than using manual work.

Free students may be lazy, may complain, or even make bad, but bots won't.

Of course, this is not to say that the pressure on students has been reduced, for graduate students in this era, it may be able to save a lot of repetitive and boring work, including but not limited to preparing various consumables, tedious data recording, post-test inspection, cleaning, etc., but there is also a must-learn content, such as how to deal with the assistant robot in the laboratory.

Probably the biggest pressure is that it is more difficult for graduate students from prestigious universities to graduate.

Although Chen Luo always complains a lot when he is idle, he probably didn't expect that his study experience itself has become a legend in the eyes of others, and it can even be said that it is a kind of benchmark that makes people speechless.

Especially when other tutors need PUA.

"Chen Luo knows everything, right? The students of Academician Ren Renning have all won the Nobel Prize, and they are not eligible to graduate until now. Think for yourself why? Was it because the mentor was deliberately trying to embarrass him? Is it because the Nobel Prize is worthless? It's because of the teacher's love for him! Do you think I want to card you to graduate? No, I wish I could do more for you! ”

……

Well, for Chen Luo, these are all floating clouds. Doing research with his mentor automatically helped him isolate himself from all the other things in this world. He just needs to do his own thing well.

It's like at this time, when he successfully uploaded the content that he spent a day yesterday and verified it for the second time by the brain, the instructions were issued to the machine engineers in standby state. At this time, as the sound of the machine starting, the machine engineers also began to move.

Robots of various sizes and models have been standing in front of the maintenance port of Betelgeuse No. 1 according to the tasks assigned by the brain, and when the mechanical arm opens the door, the robots rush in. At the same time, the computer in front of Chen Luo had automatically displayed the estimated time required to complete the construction - fifteen hours and thirty-one minutes, and then began to count down.

At the same time, the screen automatically switches to the internal monitoring screen, and the screen that needs attention can be switched at any time.

Chen Luo rubbed his hands excitedly.

He had a hunch that maybe he would graduate if he persevered for a while!
