"The first wall material was born, and Huaxia once again created a miracle?!"

"Within two years, two breakthroughs have been made to key technological nodes in human history?"

"March 10, 2012, remember this day, a new era for mankind begins at this moment!"

"The results were released, and scholars from many countries in the EAST project team witnessed the historic moment together! Review? No more! ”

"Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and the truth is once again verified at this moment!"

The results of the HT-7 test of WT12 materials have just been released, and the waves that have not yet brewed in the entire field of public opinion have been overturned in a thunderous way, and due to the particularity that EAST envies, this test can be said to be carried out under the noses of the world's top experts in the field of nuclear fusion.

The possibility of counterfeiting is not very small, but not at all.

Even after the test, almost everyone saw the material removed from the inner wall of the HT-7 device and then sent to the lab for scanning, and the final results were presented to them without any lag.

There is no more credible way to experiment.

Chen Nian has always felt that with the further development of information technology and the Internet in the future, the verification method of the academic circle will gradually shift from "paper" to "live broadcast", but he did not expect that in 2012, the EAST project would have a small-scale "live broadcast" in this way.

According to Wu Tao, the emotions of the scholars present that day were even greater than when the metal hydrogen was released.

From the initial whispering, ear-to-ear discussions, and questions, to the holding of breath after the materials were sent to HT-7, to the impatience after the experiment ended, and finally to the frenzy after the final results were released.

The emotions that should have been gradually released over a period of months or even years were compressed into just a few hours, and the violent emotional impact even caused the two elderly scholars to faint on the spot.

No one cares who discovers this material.

No one cares if he's Chinese, American, British, or Islander, all they remember is a string of names.

WU Tao,CHEN Xiaodong,LI Yang.

That's the name of the members of the experimental group at USTC.

Of course, there is also Xinghuo, an organization that was specifically mentioned by Wu Tao and was already radiant.

Even the form of these two Chinese characters, which are not simple to them, is deeply rooted in everyone's eyes.

It seems to have become a powerful symbol-—— a symbol of the future of humanity

Perhaps, this symbolic symbol will be completely embedded in the history of mankind and will never be erased no matter how time passes.

"Times are really going to change."

On the science island, on the path by the lake, Sebastian said to Eichingdorf, who was walking beside him.

"I originally thought that after solving the plasma control problem, it would take at least a few more years for them to break through the technology of the first wall material, but unexpectedly, things happened much faster than I thought."

"Two months? Not even two months away. ”

"Aichendorf, do you think they have already accumulated technology and are just waiting to come up at the right time, or is it really as Wu Tao said, they just happened to usher in a breakthrough at this point in time?"

Echendorf shook his head, his eyes always looking at the shadowy mountains on the other side of the lake.

There was silence for a moment before he spoke:

"There are coincidences in the field of scientific research, especially in the field of materials science, but I think it is impossible for two coincidences to occur at the same time."

"They couldn't have synthesized WT12 material at the right time, and it happened to happen at a critical time in the construction of the EAST project."

"So, I think they have at least gained a lot of accumulation in this field - maybe only one last step, and then Xinghuo gave them key support."

"That's why Wu Tao specifically mentioned the Xinghuo organization, I really want to know how this organization works, many times, their technology seems to come from the void."

Hearing this, Sebastian laughed.

"At least not this time."

"The experimental roadmap of Wu Tao's group is very clear, since seven years ago, they have been studying the technology of high-entropy alloys, you know, at that time, the concept was just born."

"I'm afraid that even Yang Xuecheng, who proposed this concept, would not have expected it to bring such a great contribution to mankind."

"Indeed, this is a team with a keen sense of smell and their achievements are beyond doubt."

"But Yang Xuecheng. You know, he's an academician. Maybe he is the behind-the-scenes controller behind Wu Tao and in the spark. ”

So it's possible. But it's best not to go into it. ”

Sebastian said cautiously.

Aichendorf nodded, and changed the subject with a push:

"Having said that, after the first wall material problem was solved, the difficulties of the EAST project have almost been eliminated, right?"

"The only remaining equipment difficulty is the problem of the deflector."

"Do you think, this time, how long will it take Huaxia to solve?"

"Who knows? Maybe a day? ”

Sebastian said half-jokingly.

"Maybe an hour."

Aichendorf's expression was serious, as if he was sure that this technology was firmly in Huaxia's hands.

"It shouldn't be that fast. Helium ash cleaning has always been a big problem, and it is also the weakest link in the accumulation of technology. ”

"After all, all the fusion experiments of human beings have not yet developed to the stage where helium ash needs to be cleaned up."

Sebastian replied.

What he said was very pertinent and true.

The so-called helium ash, in fact, refers to the helium nuclei produced in the nuclear fusion reaction, this by-product will cause plasma energy loss, reduced exothermic efficiency, and degradation of internal materials.

And it's not just about adding a vacuum cleaner to the inside of the fusion reactor.

"But I still think they must have a way — it's a gut feeling."

Eichendorf finally withdrew his gaze from a distance, and he looked at Sebastian in a relaxed tone.

"So anyway, now you should be able to believe that I made the right choice to bring you here, right?"

Sebastian smiled and replied:

"Actually, since the first batch of plasma theory results were released, I have already recognized EAST."

"But now, I feel like I'm changing."

"With honor-—— this is a Chinese idiom."

"You know, many times they are actually a closed nation, or a closed civilization collective, but at such moments, the boundaries of civilization are breached."

"EAST makes me feel a. Invade? Or is it an injection? ”

"In short, my intuition tells me that maybe one day in the future, they will really erase the boundaries between different races in this world, and they will turn everyone into people like them."

"It sounds scary."

Aichendorf said subconsciously.

"No, it's not terrible."

Sebastian shook his head and continued:

"This is our common destiny"

And at the same time, Chengdu.

What Chen Nian is doing is exactly what Eichendorf thought, which is to -—— solve the last problem of controlled nuclear fusion, the deflector problem.

Actually, this is no longer a problem for him.

After all, he still has close to 1,500 source points on hand, and the number of source points required by the deflector is only 400 points.

——

380 points, to be exact.

In the past month, for some unknown reason, the number of source points required for the deflector has been slowly decreasing.

According to Chen Nian's estimate, if he continues to wait patiently, maybe in a few months, this thing can suddenly drop to 0 points because of an opportunity, just like the first wall material.

But he didn't want to wait any longer.

As we all know, the last 10% of the progress bar is the most torturous part, even if you are in the first 90%, you can still be calm, and by the last 10%, you will be uncontrollably anxious and scratching your cheeks.

Chen Nian couldn't stand this.

Therefore, he directly spent 380 source points to complete the analysis of the supporting deflector in the system.

Comparatively speaking, the difficulty of this technology is much lower than that of the first wall, but it is much more complex.

Of course, it refers to the difficulty of Chen Nian's output to the outside world.

After all, the first wall material is just a string of chemical formulas, plus no more than twenty pages of synthesis methods in total, and the deflector thing, like the F-22 he started working on, is full of all kinds of modules, parts, and special designs.

New materials are also an integral part of this.

Therefore, it took two full days for Chen Nian to complete the combing of the deflector related technology and start to output it on paper.

However, the gratifying point is that although this thing is complex, it is not too "new", so many precursor steps and manufacturing methods of precursor products can be omitted, and he only needs to mark those technologies that have not yet appeared in Huaxia.

But even so, drawing and calculating were tiring, and his back hurt.

From noon the previous day to the rising sun the next day, all the work was finally completed.

It was his first all-night hike in months, but it was all worth it.

After taking a deep breath and calming down the somewhat disordered heartbeat, Chen Nian dialed Chen Guo's phone, who was obviously sleepless all night, and just five minutes after hanging up the phone, he had already walked into Chen Nian's office.

"Haven't slept all night?"

Chen Guo asked first.

"Don't look at me, I'll go to sleep in a moment."

"This is the basic design idea of the deflector, you can take it directly to EAST, just give it to Wu Fan, he is now in the project team."

"In addition, this involves one of Yang Xuecheng's previous achievements, which is related to high-entropy alloys, you can also say hello to him."

"Okay."

Chen Guo took the material and replied briefly.

He didn't seem to show any surprise at Chen Nian's overnight deflector design document.

But in fact, not being shocked is the greatest trust in Chen Nian.

Whatever problem is put in front of him, it will be solved naturally - he is like an almighty wishing box, and like some kind of god.

Of course, God doesn't need to stay up all night.

From this point of view, he is more like a good comrade with magical abilities.

"If you hand in this material, the EAST project will be unimpeded, right?"

Chen Guo asked.

"It's not that easy."

Chen Nian shook his head and replied:

"These things only solve the problem 'technically', but when it comes to practice, there are still a lot of different accidents."

"Take the deflector as an example, not to mention the control logic and system procedures when the helium ash is actually cleaned in the later stage, it is not a simple matter to install it on the EAST equipment."

"I didn't design it based on the existing equipment, unlike the previous things, which can be 100% adaptable."

"But it won't be hard, will it?"

"That's too."

Chen Nian exhaled deeply, and his body leaned back on the chair slightly weakly, as if he had just unloaded the burden of a thousand catties.

This action made Chen Guo feel distressed for a while-—— it was not a macroscopic concern for the health of his "key role", but a pure concern of the elders for the juniors.

"After today, you can rest for a while."

Chen Guo said.

"Take a two-day break, just go to talk to Wang Jiancheng about the progress of a pair of Zhanlu."

Chen Nian nodded and replied.

"You call this rest?"

Chen Guo couldn't laugh or cry.

So there are many fields involved in which there can still be such benefits? Jumping from the field of materials science to the field of artificial intelligence, even if it is a break?

Looking at Chen Guo's expression, Chen Nian couldn't help but laugh.

This sounded really rolly, but he was really curious about how far Zhan Lu had been tested.

This is one of the key technologies for China to continue to stabilize its national defense, and it is born with the satisfaction of "creating humans", so it is not normal not to be curious.

"Anyway, I just rested at that time, but to be honest, I can rest, I'm afraid you can't rest."

"The progress of the EAST project is even faster than originally planned, with an advance of almost a year."

"Speaking of which, our early planning will also be adjusted accordingly."

"Yes."

Chen Guo nodded solemnly.

"The amount of advance this year actually has a big impact, and it's not as simple as pushing the plan forward by a year."

"The infrastructure construction in the original plan has not yet been put in place, and the economy and industry are not ready to deal with the shock."

"We may have to face more severe labor pains than originally expected, but such labor pains. It's definitely worth it. ”

"Let the Yankees carry it for us."

Chen Nian said half-jokingly.

"It's not just the Yankees who have to carry it, the whole world has to help us share it."

"Negotiations with the European side have begun. There is no doubt that we will all be "

"The center of the world."
