The birth of the YLS-1000 surprised Chen Niandu, originally according to his plan, he thought that it would be at least three months before this thing was released.

But I didn't expect that the speed of the 11th place was so fast.

——

But think about it, too, the 11 institutes are also veteran research institutes in the field of electronics, since the establishment of Xinghuo, each research institute has basically been divided into large and small projects, even if it is not the core, you can also share a bite of soup.

However, because the field in which the 11 Institute is located is relatively specialized, the barriers are also high, and there has been no major progress until now.

Now that a YLS-1000 project has finally arrived, can they still rush forward without screaming?

Therefore, it is not too unusual to achieve results within the planned time.

However, according to their feedback, Chen Nian actually knows that this YLS-1000 is not yet in full form.

It mainly verifies technologies in thermal management, beam quality management and stability management, and as for the high-power fiber pump source itself, there are not too many leapfrog breakthroughs.

In terms of optical components, it is even more lackluster.

Including the gain medium and output mirror, are directly to Carl Zeiss according to the standard procurement of finished products, with the current domestic technology, even because of the influence of the lithography machine project, optical components have made considerable progress, but to meet the requirements of YLS-1000 itself, it is still not enough.

Therefore, the parameters of this laser are not "so good".

It is only a maximum power of 80,000 kilowatts, which is more than double the current state-of-the-art commercial high-power lasers.

Of course, YLS-1000 itself is a technical verification laser, and its role is not to pursue the ultimate parameters, but to explore a series of technologies involved in fiber lasers, and finally move towards a comprehensive explosion of laser technology.

Therefore, Chen Nian is not dissatisfied with such a result.

However, what is more satisfied than him is a series of domestic manufacturers that have demand for laser equipment.

After this news spread, the entire machining industry in Huaxia was directly fried.

Among them, the strongest reaction is the various car manufacturers.

You must know that the demand for laser welding technology in the automobile manufacturing industry itself is extremely strong, including frames, doors, seats and other parts, all need to use laser welding technology.

But now, due to the gap between domestic equipment in welding joints and high-power generators, almost all large manufacturers use imported equipment, and only a few equipment come from Shenyang Industrial Control.

What does this mean?

When the equipment produced by a technology reaches more than 50% of the market share, the monopoly effect that the technology can produce is enough to affect the pricing of the entire market.

In this case, it is really not uncommon for "one piece of chalk and one line" to receive $10,000.

Like the previous communication industry, the value of the equipment itself is not large, nor can it drive the rapid growth of profits, and the follow-up spare parts and services are the biggest profit points.

You don't?

If you don't sign a service contract, don't sign an equipment contract.

At its worst, the annual license price of a Simatic system can even be on par with the price of the equipment.

No one wants to spend this unjust money, but if you don't spend this unjust money, you won't even have a chance to make money.

Since the establishment of the first laser welding laboratory in Hefei in 1982, a whole generation has been trying to make up for the shortcomings in this field, but in fact, until around 2020, there is still a big gap between Huaxia's technology in the field of laser industrial application and the world's advanced level.

——

Of course, such history will soon change.

With the birth of the YLS-1000, the development of this technology will also quickly enter the fast lane.

It won't be long before various manufacturers in China can get rid of the kidnapping of foreign manufacturers and begin to really use their own, cheap and easy-to-use laser equipment.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian let out a long sigh of relief.

This is the first technological attempt in the non-military field after the "truce" between China and the United States, and its success or failure will determine the direction of the subsequent technological development route.

And how it turned out. Just wait and see.

This is the job of the DAD, not a problem that you need to worry about.

Now, the only thing I need to do is to push forward the development of the first wall as quickly as possible, so as to come up with the corresponding technical documentation before the construction of the coil part is completed.

There are still 1,300 points left at the source point at hand, and the technology of the first wall needs a total of 1,100 points, according to Chen Nian's estimate, this number must be reduced to at least about 800 points in order to ensure the stable output of the subsequent deflector and energy export device.

As a rule of thumb, it may take about two months for the new velvet team to conduct research and produce enough results to reduce consumption and increase the source point.

It's not that easy.

After all, there is a natural difference between the field of materials science and the field of plasma control, and that is that the continuity between the results before and after is relatively weak.

It is impossible for you to logically make other room-temperature superconducting materials with more principles and completely different structures just because you have made metallic hydrogen, because although they are similar in form and properties, the synthetic paths of the two may even be unrelated.

As for the first wall material itself, the situation is basically similar.

At present, the most promising directions of the first wall materials include carbon nanofibers, carbon fiber composites, titanium alloys, ferritic stainless steels, tungsten and silicon boride, etc., which represent the primary stage of the first wall materials in the true sense.

That is, it is enough to use these materials if only to carry out so-called long-term high-power experiments.

However, if fusion reactors are to be commercialized, they will often require a lifetime of decades, and the ignition time in seconds is simply not in the order of magnitude at the current level.

So which direction is the most likely to meet the requirements of the first wall of commercial fusion reactors?

Nobody knows.

At this point in time in 2010, the first wall material used by Huaxia is a mixture of beryllium, copper and steel, of which the innermost material is beryllium, which is mainly used to prevent the reaction between the first wall and radioactive tritium and improve the thermal conductivity.

At the same time, in the next time, the mature HIP technology is used to weld the beryllium and copper alloy to ensure the heat conduction efficiency and high temperature resistance.

The last layer of stainless steel mainly plays the role of support and heat dissipation.

Under this design, the prototype can achieve a surface heat load of 4.7MW, which is more than 80% higher than the normal heat load wall panels in Europe during the same period.

But even then, this is not the final solution of the first wall.

Even according to Chen Nian's existing knowledge, he also knew that compared with pure beryllium, W-ZrC was a more suitable lining material.

After all, the high hardness and low coefficient of expansion performance of this thing are far beyond the reach of pure beryllium materials

Chen Nian's brows furrowed tightly, and he combed through the known directions in his mind one by one, but in the end, he reluctantly found that each of these directions seemed to be very reliable, but the prospects of each one were still hidden in the dark.

If it weren't for the blessing of the system, how long would it take for human beings to find the real right answer?

At least, not in ten years.

What I have to do is to compress this "ten" or even "decades" time into two months.

On the other side, at the same time that Chen Nian began to prepare to start the exploration of the first wall material, in the office of the headquarters of the EAST project team, Li Jiangang was having a special communication with a special guest.

So according to your plan, have we really lost the opportunity to regain more shares in the future?"

"You know, it's not fair to us."

"We have the strongest technical background, the largest number of scientific researchers, and the benefits that can be brought to the EAST project far exceed those of other countries."

"But now, you are imposing technical sanctions on us for some unfounded reasons and without logic, which is simply unreasonable."

"Of course, I'm not attacking you-—— in fact, to some extent, I can understand your overreaction."

"After all, in the past few years, the confrontation between our two sides has indeed been fierce."

"But I still say that technology has no borders, especially a technology like nuclear fusion that can change the fate of the entire human race, and it should not be kidnapped by so-called political factors."

"So, I'm still going to make our appeal to you."

"We would like to say that our country's share of tasks in the EAST project will be increased to 20% again - this does not seem to be so excessive, does it?"

The speaker's name is William Brown, who is an international collaboration scholar in the EAST project, and is responsible for the development of the first wall material.

In the past few months, he has been conscientiously doing what he should do, completely maintaining the "purity" that a scholar should have, and this is the only reason why he was able to meet Li Jiangang on behalf of the United States and put forward the demands of the American side.

Hearing his words, Li Jiangang shook his head and replied:

"It's impossible to rebalance the shares."

"Mr. William, you should also know that the EAST project is fundamentally different from the ITER project."

"The ITER project is a real 'technical cooperation' project, where everyone doesn't know if they're right or if their team can get results."

"But what about the EAST project? Obviously, we've made most of the theoretical breakthroughs, and it's not so much that the purpose of the collaboration is 'to acquire knowledge', but that we need a lot of talent to 'execute' the knowledge we have and apply it to the project. ”

"To put it more bluntly, the vast majority of academics involved in this project are not much different from ordinary workers, and they are all disadvantaged recipients of technical assistance."

"In this case, we have the right to choose yes or no."

"I admit that at the very beginning, Huaxia did have a great interest in your technology accumulation, and also opened the application portal for the EAST project to you."

"But your people are just so bad."

"The technology is slow and stable, and even some scholars don't believe that EAST can be born smoothly, and the only reason to come here is to add a glossy stroke to their resume."

"I want to ask, is it really necessary for such a person, such a team, to give it a larger share?"

"Think about it from another perspective, even if it's you, it's impossible to be such a wrongdoer, right?"

William Brown, on the other side, nodded silently.

He admits that what Li Jiangang said is right, but the problem is that he does not think that his side is necessarily wrong.

Yes, we did show some backing and swaying in the early stages, but so what?

In the face of such a big gamble, who can guarantee that they will follow from beginning to end?

Occasional questioning is also very reasonable, right?

It is related to the future development of fusion technology in the United States, and even the fate of the entire country, he obviously cannot give up, so, after a short thought, he continued to speak:

"Mr. Li, as I said before, we can understand your concerns and understand your feelings."

"But I still have to say that it is extremely irrational to make such a decision in this way."

"I could even say more extremely, it's all the result of being kidnapped by populism."

"It won't mean anything to us, or to you."

"In that case, why do you insist on going your own way?"

Li Jiangang slowly shook his head and replied:

"It's not a matter of arbitrariness, it's the result of a lot of thought."

"Isn't there any possibility of changing the decision?"

William asked.

"Nope."

"Even if we come up with more quid pro quo, even if we make greater concessions, is it impossible?"

"Impossible."

Hearing this, William took a deep breath.

"So, that's what you're really for."

"From the beginning, you didn't intend to involve us in this project."

"You have opened the door to the future for everyone, but you want to keep us out?"

"With all due respect, you guys are pure tech bullying!"

"If you really don't plan to change your decision, then I think maybe we'll have to go back to another negotiating table."

This sentence revealed a strong sense of threat, but Li Jiangang couldn't help laughing.

He really couldn't understand the brain circuits of the man opposite.

Technology bullying?

Are you worthy to say such things?

If we're tech bullies, what are you?

However, Li Jiangang did not say these words in front of William.

He just looked the other man in the eye, and then said word by word:

"Yes, that's tech bullying."

"But what can you do with us?"

"Do you want to go to the sea and have another confrontation?"

"I don't know what kind of promises the people behind you gave you when you came here today."

"But for now, I can give you a promise-—— or advice."

"That is, play this game according to our rules."

"You don't want us to test the Julang-3 just now and aim in the direction of Washington, right?"
