Chapter 300: Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project Landing

For Xu Chuan, it is actually good for the high-energy physics team at Jiaotong University to join the analysis of the inert neutrino raw data.

After all, this significantly reduces the time it takes to analyze the data.

As his mentor Chen Zhengping said, the discovery of inert neutrinos is his achievement, and there is no need to let foreign teams get a piece of the pie.

As for Nanda's side, when Xu Chuan and Chen Zhengping both agreed, Yu Yongwang also agreed casually.

No matter what, the opinions of Xu Chuan and Academician Chen still have to be considered.

At the beginning of September, half a month after the end of the commendation meeting for nuclear energy projects.

The people on the side of the science and technology coop took the initiative to find Xu Chuan.

Those who came to visit him in Jinling in person were Qin Anguo and another middle-aged man in his early forties who had not seen him for several months, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and elegant.

"Professor Xu, long time no see."

In the villa, Qin Anguo shook hands with Xu Chuan warmly and greeted him with a smile on his face

"Come, let me introduce you, this is Gao Hongming from the strategic planning department of our science and technology industry, this time I came together, mainly to meet with you, chat, if appropriate, I will arrange Xiao Gao to give you a hand in the controllable nuclear fusion project."

"You can hand over some trivial matters on the controllable nuclear fusion project to him to deal with, and you can also directly order Xiao Gao if there are things in the future, and he will deal with and report them in time."

Xu Chuan nodded, smiled and shook hands with this Gao Hongming: "Gao Hall is good." ”

The head of the Strategic Planning Department of Science and Technology can be said to be very high, and being arranged by the above to participate in the management of controllable nuclear fusion projects shows that Gao Hongming's ability must be quite good.

"Hello Professor Xu, the title of Gao Hall is too polite, you can call me by my name or Xiao Gao." Gao Hongming smiled gently.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "The project management work and the preparatory work will trouble you, and I have some other research here for the time being." ”

Gao Hongming quickly said: "Don't worry, my job is to assist you in dealing with these things." ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Then there will be a lot of trouble." ”

After a pause, he then asked, "By the way, has the official notice of controlled nuclear fusion come down or something?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Hongming quickly took out a red document from his bag and handed it over.

Xu Chuan took the notification document and flipped through it.

On the side, Qin Zhengguo said: "The official project of the controllable nuclear fusion project has been completed, and the general person in charge of the project is Professor Xu, but because it is confidential, it cannot be forwarded to your public mailbox, so I brought it here." ”

"In addition, there are some matters related to controlled nuclear fusion engineering, which I also need to discuss with you today."

Although this controlled nuclear fusion is not something that needs to be kept strictly secret. This kind of cutting-edge science and technology field, whether it is foreign or domestic, there are many institutions that are engaged in it.

There are even more than a dozen countries that have joined forces to work together, such as the ITER International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, a project that began in 1985 and has been going on for nearly 50 years now.

However, as far as Huaguo's character is concerned, everyone understands that if you can be low-key, you can keep it low-key, and if you can keep it secret, you can keep it secret.

Xu Chuan took the notification document from Gao Hongming's hand, and nodded while looking at it: "Chief Qin Yun, please speak." ”

"First of all, about the site selection of the project, we have temporarily screened out four locations after discussion, namely Bincheng, Jincheng, Modu, and Shencheng. Professor Xu, which of these four cities is more appropriate? Or if you have suggestions and ideas, you can also put them forward and let's discuss them together. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan looked up at Qin Anguo, and after a deep groan, he said, "Can I put it in Jinling?" ”

On the other side, Qin Anguo and Gao Hongming were obviously stunned when they heard this answer.

After coming back to his senses, Qin Anguo opened his mouth and asked, "Aren't nuclear projects generally by the sea?" If I'm not mistaken, it takes a lot of seawater to complete the cooling cycle or something, right? ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "This is inertial thinking, the reason why the nuclear power plant is built by the sea is because it needs a lot of seawater to release heat from the reactor to generate electricity." ”

"In addition, there is generally constant wind along the coast, which is conducive to the diffusion of gases. Radioactive gases in inland areas tend to accumulate locally and cause nuclear contamination. ”

"Although controlled nuclear fusion also needs to be cooled, it does not have the risk of nuclear radiation, after all, its fusion raw materials are deuterium and tritium, two harmless substances."

"And there is no need to fill the reaction zone with combustion raw materials at one time, like a nuclear fission power station, it is more like a thermal power station, and the reactor can be replenished as much fuel as it needs."

After a pause, he continued: "As for cooling, what can be done by seawater, fresh water can naturally do it, and Jinling is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and has sufficient water resources. ”

"And Jinling is also a large industrial city, and the consumption of electricity is also quite large, plus other cities in Suzhou Province also need a lot of electricity, I think it is okay to build here."

Xu Chuan explained with a smile, but there was another reason he didn't say that the four cities selected above were all a certain distance from where he currently lived, and he spent a lot of time on the road every time he went back and forth.

This is a problem he discovered when he was in charge of the nuclear energy β radiation energy gathering and conversion project, and it took him several hours to travel from Nanda to Qidong, not to mention Bincheng and Jincheng.

The point is that he doesn't know what's going on, obviously he just needs to take the car, but on the journey, he can't calm down to do research or anything, let alone do research, even if he simply reads a book, it's difficult to immerse himself in it.

So every journey, it can be said that it is a waste of time for him.

If he could, Xu Chuan really didn't want to run around because of the controllable nuclear fusion project, so he would just stay quietly here in Jinling.

Of course, he didn't say this reason, and it felt like he was too willful to say it.

On the other side, Qin Anguo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write down your suggestion first, and then hold a meeting to discuss it when I go back, and then contact you if there is no problem to determine the modification of the site." Do you have any other requests or suggestions? ”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Is Professor Peng Hongxi still working at Mizuki University now?" ”

Qin Anguo: "I don't know much about this, but can I help you check it, do you want to invite Professor Peng to join the controlled nuclear fusion project?" ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Professor Peng is one of the founders of our country's nuclear energy field, and he is also the leader in opening up and developing the research of particle beam inertial confinement fusion in China. ”

To be honest, there is no way to pull Peng Hongxi, an old man in his eighties, over.

Although China is among the world's top in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, strictly speaking, many universities in China do not actually offer a professional course on controlled nuclear fusion.

At present, the people engaged in the research in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China have basically switched from the fields of plasma physics, nuclear physics, and high-energy physics across industries.

Academician Peng Hongxi is a real founding figure in the field of nuclear fusion in China.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find any suitable candidates, Xu Chuan didn't want to trouble his old man, after all, this old man was already eighty years old this year.

As for Academician Peng Hongxi's students, Professor Han Jin, who previously worked as a person in charge of the nuclear waste reuse project to deal with everyday things, is still relatively young.

Previously, under his leadership, he led the day-to-day work of the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Gathering and Conversion of Electricity" project, but it was difficult for him to support a super project such as controlled nuclear fusion.

Controlled nuclear fusion is a systematic project, which involves technical difficulties ranging from plasma physics to materials research and information technology research, and requires the cooperation of a large number of research units.

It can be said that this kind of super project requires the coordination of resources and things is too much, and it cannot be completed without sufficient qualifications and reputation in China.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan could only invite Academician Peng Hongxi again.

On the side, Gao Hongming couldn't help but swallow as he listened to the conversation between the two.

He knew that this Professor Xu had great ability, but he didn't expect the energy to be so great.

If it is another scholar, after giving four sites above, they will basically only choose one of the four sites.

Unexpectedly, this person directly objected, and what he didn't expect was that Qin Qian directly agreed.

Although he still replied that he would go back to the meeting to discuss it, in his opinion, this discussion is basically just a matter of going through the process.

To be honest, it makes sense for the top management to pick these four sites.

These four sites are all core cities of important industrial bases, such as Bincheng, which is the core city of the industrial base in central and southern Liaoning, such as Modu, which is the core city of the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou industrial base.

Moreover, these cities are close to the sea, and it is an unspoken rule that the engineering facilities of the nuclear power plant give preference to the cities near the sea, not only in China, but also in the world.

After all, considering all aspects, coastal cities are indeed more convenient.

However, controlled nuclear fusion, a super project, with an investment of more than 10 billion yuan, was changed by Professor Xu in front of him in terms of site selection.

This energy can be said to be unique in China, and there is no problem at all.

In the living room of the villa, after the three of them chatted for a while, Qin Anguo was ready to get up and leave.

On the one hand, I came here today to introduce Gao Hongming to Xu Chuan, and on the other hand, to talk about issues related to site selection, investment budget, personnel requirements, etc.

These have already been answered, and he is not ready to delay this Professor Xu's time any longer.

After seeing off the two technologists, Xu Chuan turned his attention back to modeling ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence in a controlled fusion reactor.

With the theoretical foundation already perfected, it was only a matter of time before he modeled the plasma turbulence.

The days passed like this, and Xu Chuan was busy with his research.

In the middle of modeling, he received a return visit from Gao Hongming, and after discussion, the site of the controllable nuclear fusion project finally settled in Jinling.

As for the specific location, it is currently being discussed with the government of Jinling City.

When the city leaders of Jinling received the news, their jaws almost fell to the ground in shock.

With tens of billions of investment, the national super project of controllable nuclear fusion suddenly settled in Jinling, which was like a surprise falling from the sky for Jinling.

Before that, the leaders of Jinling City had never thought about it, and they had never even dreamed of it.

When Gao Hongming, who was in charge of the daily work of the controlled nuclear fusion project, came to the door, the leaders of Jinling City were like a dream, and everyone was stupid.

The systematic super project of controlled nuclear fusion is of great help to the development of high-tech and science and technology industries in Jinling City, as well as to the introduction of talents.

A large-scale project will definitely require the help of countless people, and controlled nuclear fusion, I am afraid that it will take doctoral students to start with tea and water.

People of this level are introduced in China, no matter which city they are in.

Not to mention the development of science and technology and high technology, the research of controlled nuclear fusion, God knows how many new technologies can lead to the development and emergence of new technologies.

Or to put it more simply, for Jinling City, the settlement of the controllable nuclear fusion project is like a 'huge' political achievement falling from the sky.

When they heard that this was Xu Chuan's proposal, the city leaders quickly brought people to visit in person.

Of course, there are legitimate reasons for their visits.

The controllable nuclear fusion project settled in Jinling, and as the municipal government, they naturally had to listen to Professor Xu's opinion on site selection.

And with the city leaders, there were also Gao Hongming and Peng Hongxi.

"Professor Xu, where do you think Jinling is more suitable as a location?"

In Xu Chuan's villa, the leader of Jinling City looked at Xu Chuan with a warm and expectant look and asked, on the tea table, there was also a huge map of Jinling City, which was still of the 3D type, and the situation in various parts of Jinling City was marked on it.

Xu Chuan: "Just find a sparsely populated place by the river." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "Of course, the geological structure must be stable, and there will be no subsidence." ”

Hearing this, the city leader thought for a while and pointed to the map and asked: "How about the Wumadu Square in the Yanbinjiang Scenic Area?" ”

"The geology here is stable, there are no residential communities nearby, there are no other buildings except for some tourist attractions, and it is convenient to demolish them, opposite is the Bagua Island Wetland Park, and this park can be closed due to confidentiality issues."

Xu Chuan: "This needs to be probed by professionals, and if I am sure that there is no problem, I can do it." ”

"As for secrecy, controlled fusion is not much different from an ordinary nuclear power plant from the outside, so don't worry too much."

The city leader nodded and said, "If the Muyan Riverside Scenic Area is not good, it can be placed at the foot of Qixia Mountain, and it should meet the requirements." ”

"If Professor Xu, you have no opinion, we will arrange personnel to explore these two places, if you can, then you can choose one, if not, then how about re-negotiating?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, this is what we should do, not to mention, we wish to come more times for such 'trouble'." The city leader said with a smile on his face: "Without further ado, we will go back and arrange personnel to explore these two sites, so as not to disturb Professor Xu and Academician Peng." ”
