Chapter 311: Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project Begins
In the office, Xu Chuan quickly mobilized the knowledge of the two worlds in his mind, thinking about the feasibility of the method that Witten said.
Time passed bit by bit, and as he pondered, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
This seems like a viable path.
Because, theoretically, a type Ia supernova explosion is a supernova explosion formed by a white dwarf absorbing material from the host giant.
In this process, the mass loss of the main superstar is actually locked, that is, it can be calculated mathematically.
And the so-called quality loss and interference of the common cladding is indeed not a problem for him.
Using the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, he calculated that Betelgeuse had an associated star in its hydrogen envelope.
On the premise that the parameters of the host star and the white dwarf have been confirmed, the calculation of type Ia supernovae is indeed theoretically feasible.
This may be a way to prove the evolution of inert neutrinos and the existence of dark matter in advance.
Originally, Xu Chuan wanted to detect inert neutrinos and dark matter after the construction of a large strong particle collider in China.
But now it seems that it can be brought into the world in advance.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan raised his head with bright eyes and looked at his mentor Edward Witten.
I have to say that his mentor's knowledge is indeed as bottomless as an abyss.
He had never heard of such ideas and theories in his previous life, but not long after he put his paper on the prediction of inert neutrinos on Arxiv, Witten came up with this alternative approach.
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan said: "Theoretically, this may be a feasible way. It's just that Guru, why don't you calculate it yourself? β
Edward Witten was not just a physicist, he was not inferior to physics in mathematics.
After all, he is the first scholar ever to win a Fields Medal as a physicist.
Edward Witten smiled and said, "Compared to you, my math ability is much worse. β
"I honestly haven't fully figured out how to extend your Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, let alone need to make another deformation of it this time."
After a pause, he continued, "Do you want to cooperate?" I'll provide the data for physics and I'll do the calculations for the math. β
Xu Chuan replied without thinking: "No problem! β
On the side, FranΓ§ois Engle looked at the two with envy, he also wanted to join, but unfortunately, he couldn't help much.
The theory was put forward by Witten, and the data calculation was carried out by Xu Chuan, and it was not difficult for Witten to find the Type Ia supernova.
So even if he is a Nobel laureate, he can't find a suitable reason to insert himself into a team of two.
Of course, if he proposes it, Witten and Xu Chuan will definitely agree to his joining.
But a gentleman does not eat the food that comes to him, and this kind of honor obtained without contribution is unbearable for him.
Witten and Engler stayed here at NTU for two days, mainly because Witten needed to communicate with Xu Chuan about the two working together to explore inert neutrinos and dark matter.
At the very least, Xu Chuan needs to sort out the basic data, boundary values, feature numbers and other data needed to calculate this data, so that Witten can apply to Princeton for the corresponding scientific research project after returning.
Of course, Xu Chuan will also establish a scientific research project at NTU.
The cooperation between the two can be regarded as a cooperation between colleges and universities.
After all, the observation of type Ia supernovae requires top-notch astronomical observation equipment, numerous scientific researchers and other resources, and it is difficult for the two of them to support this project.
Witten and Engler left, and Xu Chuan took his attention back from the inert neutrino.
The inert neutrino has been confirmed, and the rest of the stuff doesn't need to be paid much attention to by him.
On the other hand, the site of the controllable nuclear fusion project has been decided, and the Muyan Riverside Scenic Area is not very stable because the riverside area belongs to the plain formed by the accumulation of river water, so the final site is located at the foot of Qixia Mountain near the Yangtze River.
Because the whole belongs to the mountain structure of Qixia Mountain, even if it is close to the Yangtze River, the foundation is quite stable.
For Jinling, abolishing a four-A tourist attraction in exchange for the landing of the super project of controllable nuclear fusion is definitely a sure win.
After the project site was selected, the Jinling Municipal Government immediately announced the notice of the closure of the scenic spot and cleaned up the Qixia Mountain Scenic Area.
Then the area at the foot of the mountain, the demolition of the demolition, the transfer of the transfer, in accordance with the city's demolition compensation standards, the action is not dragged in the mud and water, the speed is simply fast to the extreme.
Fortunately, Qixia Mountain is a suburb of Jinling, even if it is close to the river, there are not many residents and industrial plants, and the speed of negotiation and demolition is quite fast.
Subsequently, the troops in charge of security in the Jinling Ju District set up a barrier at the foot of Qixia Mountain, prohibiting other tourists and pedestrians from entering.
After all, controlled nuclear fusion is a super project, both in terms of level and meaning, it is higher than the previous project of "nuclear energy Ξ² radiation energy gathering and conversion of electricity".
After the troops dealt with security and other issues, the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group, which was responsible for the construction of the controllable nuclear fusion project, immediately drove all the large and small equipment into Qixia Mountain.
The construction of the activity plant, the back and forth of the muck transport vehicle and the cement delivery vehicle.
All kinds of industrial equipment were under construction at the foot of Qixia Mountain, which attracted the attention of some residents around Qixia Mountain who were outside the warning line and had not been demolished.
After all, there are a large number of various construction vehicles driving around every day.
On the side of the road, a group of middle-aged aunts gathered together to chat in the shade under the trees, watching the construction vehicles coming and going on the riverside road and gossiping.
"What do you say is going on on this Qixia Mountain? There are a lot of muck trucks going back and forth every day, all at night, and I can't sleep because of the noise. β
"Who says it's not, although there were many cars in the past, there were no such muck trucks, and now they are running on the road at night, rumbling." Another middle-aged aunt agreed.
"I have a relative at the foot of Qixia Mountain, and I heard that his family lost 10 million yuan for the demolition, and he also made up two suites, and the demolition money arrived in a week. Why didn't the scope of this demolition expand a little! β
An aunt chatted and suddenly looked at Qixia Mountain in the distance, sighed three points, complained three points, envy and said one point jealously.
"That's it, it's all demolished in such a big place, why don't you tear it down with us!" Another aunt looked at the traffic on the road and complained as well.
The Qixia Mountain area is a suburb in Jinling, and it can be said that there are almost no opportunities for such demolition.
For these residents living near Qixia Mountain, the demolition of Qixia Mountain is simply a pie falling from the sky, big and fragrant.
The nature of what you eat is full of joy, and what you don't eat is a little delicious.
However, this does not mean that the area of the controllable nuclear fusion project is small, for the Jinling municipal government, the base divided for the controllable nuclear fusion project this time covers an area of 3,000 acres.
That's the equivalent of 985 top universities.
Not only that, Jinling City has also left 1,000 acres of reserved space for the expansion of the controlled nuclear fusion project, which means that the total area and demolition area have reached more than 4,000 acres.
You must know that the total area of Qixia Mountain is about 15,000 acres, and it can be said that in order to control the nuclear fusion project, one sixth of Qixia Mountain has been divided.
The loss of such a huge area is in the suburbs, and it is a state-owned scenic spot occupied, otherwise the demolition money alone will have to pay a large amount.
After Xu Chuan finished dealing with the inert neutrino, the controllable nuclear fusion project at the foot of Qixia Mountain had been under construction for several days.
After receiving the news, Gao Hongming, who is responsible for managing the controllable nuclear fusion project, and Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of the construction of the project, rushed to the gate of the camp to wait as soon as possible.
With Zheng Hai to help deal with related matters, Xu Chuan was not hindered when he came to the controllable nuclear fusion engineering base by car.
But through the window, he could still see the tightest security.
Not to mention the rest, just what he saw when he sat in the car, there were at least three full inspection and security points.
The Hongqi car slowly drove into the core camp of the base under the driving of Zheng Hai, and after reaching the target, Xu Chuan pushed the car door and walked down, and there was an eager voice in his ears.
"Professor Xu, you're here."
"Professor Xu."
Gao Hongming and Qi Zhongxing, who had been waiting at the gate of the camp for a long time, quickly stepped forward after seeing the red flag car and greeted them warmly.
"High Hall, Qi Gong." Xu Chuan greeted the two with a smile, looked around with his eyes, and fell on the construction staff who were working under the scorching sun.
The sun hanging high exuded scorching heat, even in Qixia Mountain, the power of the autumn tiger should not be underestimated, and the hot and dazzling sunlight made him can't help but squint.
Not to mention the construction workers who are busy with construction, they can be said to be soaked with sweat all over their bodies.
Looking at these respectable people, Xu Chuan sighed: "It's really hard for you, working under such a big sun." β
Gao Hongming said with a smile: "We just did some basic work, Professor Xu, you are really hard, facing the world's problems, and you still have to rely on scholars like you to build the motherland." Knowledge is the greatest asset. β
Xu Chuan glanced at the soldiers who were standing guard, then at the workers who were under construction, and sighed softly: "There are people living in temples and guarding the frontier; Walking with the same worries, all for peace. β
Qi Zhongxing said with a smile: "Professor Xu is right, but let's go first, I have prepared engineering drawings or something here, why don't you take a look at it first?" β
Because he was responsible for the construction of the "Nuclear Energy Ξ² Radiation Energy Gathering and Conversion of Electricity" project, he still knows the young man in front of him very well. I know he doesn't like to waste time, and every time he comes to the construction site, he must have something to do. simply cut straight to the point.
Xu Chuan didn't sigh anymore, nodded and followed Qi Zhongxing into the camp.
In the makeshift factory, Qi Zhongxing didn't waste too much time greeting Xu Chuan, and after brewing two cups of tea, he turned out the engineering drawings stored in the cabinet.
The engineering drawings of a controlled nuclear fusion are naturally quite large, but what he brought out was not all of them, but rough plans.
Spreading out the planning diagram, Qi Zhongxing looked at Xu Chuan and said, "Professor Xu, this is the planning engineering diagram, if you see what else needs to be improved, you can tell me directly." β
This engineering drawing is borrowed from the CFETR project in China.
The CFETR controlled nuclear fusion project in Luzhou, Hui'an, is the first fusion project in China. On December 5, 2017, the engineering design was officially launched in Luzhou, Hui'an.
Since then, Huaguo's nuclear fusion research has started a new journey of independent research and development.
This great project is divided into three phases.
In the first stage, from 2021, the CFETR will start project construction;
In the second stage, by 2035, it is planned to build a fusion engineering experimental reactor and start large-scale scientific experiments;
In the third stage, by 2050, the fusion engineering experimental reactor experiment will be successful, and the fusion commercial demonstration reactor will be built to complete the ultimate energy source for mankind.
As for now, although it is only 2019, two years have passed, and the CFETR project has completed the basic construction of the park.
Therefore, Qi Zhongxing did not be too polite, and directly borrowed the engineering drawings of the CFETR project, and then modified and adjusted them according to the topography of Qixia Mountain.
Although the CFETR project is the tokamak device route, and the Qixiashan side is the composite device route defined by Professor Xu himself, except for some core areas and the differences in controlled nuclear fusion reactors, other places can basically be used.
Of course, the most important thing is to look at the opinion of Professor Xu in front of him, he is the real person in charge, and he can change it as he says.
Xu Chuan looked at the planning engineering drawings and said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and you are responsible for the control of the construction of the project base." β
"As for the request from my side, I'll mention it first, please remember it and deal with it according to the requirements."
Xu Chuan didn't care too much about the construction and layout of the project park.
In this regard, Peng Hongxi and experts from the nuclear energy industry group are responsible for the control, and he does not need to spend too much effort on it.
Not to mention the rest, but in terms of infrastructure construction and design, the country can be described as a top talent.
After all, how can a country known as a 'infrastructure madman' not have some of its own skills.
When a temporary hospital was built in the later generations, it took only ten days to deliver a hospital that could accommodate 1,000 patients.
The engineer in charge of the overall design completed the construction drawing design of such a huge hospital in only 24 hours.
When he was in charge of the project "Nuclear Energy Ξ² Radiation Energy Aggregation and Conversion of Electricity", he did not make too many suggestions on the layout of the park, but only put forward some of his own requirements.
And Qi Zhongxing also completed the construction perfectly according to the requirements.
This is also the reason why Xu Chuan recommended that the controllable nuclear fusion project project is still being constructed by Qi Zhongxing, and the two cooperate well.
