Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Qi Zhongxing quickly took out a notebook from his desk and prepared to write down the requirements.

On the other side, Xu Chuan glanced at the project planning drawings of controlled nuclear fusion twice, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I don't have any requirements for the peripheral buildings, power generation facilities, cooling cycles, etc. ”

"It's mainly the core area."

"The core area is used to store the controlled fusion reactor, because after the re-modification, the volume of the controlled fusion reactor will be a little larger than that of the tokamak, both in diameter and height, more than 30 meters."

"So the core building used to store the controllable nuclear fusion reactor needs to be at least 40 meters high, and as for the area, you can calculate the maximum value of the equipment that needs to be deployed and then expand it by more than 25 percent."

Qi Zhongxing nodded and quickly recorded this request in his notebook.

For a large infrastructure country, it is not difficult to build such a core regional factory, but the amount of work is quite large.

According to the plan, the core area used to store the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is located underground as a whole.

According to this one's request, that is, they had to dig a space in the ground that was at least 100 meters long and wide, and more than 50 meters deep.

With such a large pothole, it is very troublesome to transfer the sand, gravel and soil that has been dug out.

In addition, in Qixia Mountain, which is close to the Yangtze River, a depth of more than 50 meters will definitely dig up groundwater or soft soil, which needs to be taken into account.

On the other side, Xu Chuan glanced at Qi Zhongxing, and after he finished recording, he continued: "In addition, considering safety issues, the thickness of the walls in the core area should be at least thirty centimeters or more, and the thickness of the central area can be considered to be set aside five centimeters to lay radiation gap materials. ”

Hearing this, Gao Hongming on the side asked nervously: "Is there a risk of nuclear radiation?" ”

Professor Xu had already done a comprehensive understanding of Professor Xu's research before he was assigned to assist in the controlled fusion project.

Xu Chuan said that the use of radiation gap materials, he also knows, this is a kind of material used to combat nuclear radiation.

At the mention of this, he subconsciously thought that there was some radiation problem.

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and replied, "Theoretically, controlled nuclear fusion is safe. But what is absolutely safe does not. ”

"You should know about the nuclear fusion reactor explosion accident that occurred in Sakura Country some time ago, although controlled nuclear fusion does not have all kinds of ionizing radiation from nuclear fission reactors, the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure plasma in the chamber still has a certain danger even if it does not undergo fusion reactions."

"After all, the temperature of these plasmas is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees, and in the event of an accident, it may cause a great impact on the core area."

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, normally there will be no such risk, and the fusion reactor explosion accident in the small island country is completely caused by them not following the process specifications." ”

After speaking, he silently added in his heart: "Of course, the pit dug in that manuscript paper should not be underestimated. ”

After quickly recording the requirements, Qi Zhongxing raised his head and said: "This is no problem, the entire project will be built with the best nuclear cement, and the core area will be treated with a 50 cm thick cement wall according to your requirements, and at least 5 cm of filling gaps will be reserved in the middle." ”

After thinking about it, Qi Zhongxing then asked: "Is five centimeters enough?" If that's not enough, expand it a little more. ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "That's enough." This is just a safety measure, controlled nuclear fusion is not nuclear fission, and even if there is a failure, as long as the input of deuterium tritium raw material and the output of the NIF heating antenna are cut off, there will be no additional problems. ”

Qi Zhongxing nodded and made another note in his notebook.

After walking around the controllable nuclear fusion engineering base at the foot of Qixia Mountain, and mentioning his own requirements, Xu Chuan didn't care about this side of the matter anymore.

In terms of construction projects, he is still relieved that Qi Zhongxing will control them, and Gao Hongming and the troops stationed here will also help keep an eye on the construction.

What cutting corners, what formwork engineering, reinforcement engineering and other common problems in large-scale projects cannot appear in this project.

Not only because this is a controlled nuclear fusion project, but also because the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group, which is responsible for the construction of this project, has already made a military order before the start of construction.

If there is a problem during construction, then these construction workers and those in charge will go to court-martial.

Therefore, after putting forward a few requirements for the core area building to Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of construction, Xu Chuan focused on other aspects.

In the Xianlin Campus near Qixia Mountain, Xu Chuan followed the campus path to the industrial building.

Because the controlled nuclear fusion project has only just begun, the research institute in the park has not yet been built, so some personnel recruitment and office work borrowed an industrial building from the Xianlin campus of NTU as a temporary office location.

Academician Peng Hongxi, who is responsible for personnel recruitment and related equipment procurement, is currently working here.

I don't know how many people have been recruited for the controlled fusion project after the past two months.

There was a knock on the office door, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”

Xu Chuan pushed open the door and walked in, Peng Hongxi, who was dealing with things, took a look, was stunned for a moment, then got up and greeted with a smile: "Yo, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

On the side, Han Jin, who was also working in the office, raised his head and took a look, said hello and quickly got up to make tea.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I can't say anything if I don't come again, it just so happened that the physics side was busy a few days ago, so I came out and walked around." ”

Hearing this, Peng Hongxi sighed: "The discovery of inert neutrinos confirms that particles beyond the prediction of the Standard Model have not expected to appear in front of everyone's eyes quickly." ”

After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and said with a smile: "With this discovery, you should be able to win another Nobel Prize, right?" ”

"Counting your achievements this year, starting from the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, to the technology of "nuclear energy β radiant energy aggregation and conversion of electrical energy", to artificial SEI thin films and inert neutrinos, almost every year you can make enough to win the Nobel Prize, it is really unbelievable."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "The discovery of inert neutrinos is just good luck, as for the Nobel Prize."

He shrugged his shoulders and continued, "I'm afraid it's difficult to make this discovery alone, after all, you know high-energy physics and particle physics. ”

Peng Hongxi shook his head with a smile and said: "It's different, the discovery of inert neutrinos is different from those particles predicted in the Standard Model in the past, his discovery and data analysis work are done by you alone, and you have a great chance of winning the Nobel Prize." ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Then it depends on the idea of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but even if you can get it, it will definitely not work this year, it is early October now, and the list of physics prizes will be announced in a few days." ”

"Don't talk about this, I just came from Qixia Mountain, I want to see how the situation is here, I don't know how the recruitment is going?"

Peng Hongxi replied: "In terms of personnel recruitment, there are currently 123 people who have passed the recruitment and review, which is not too much, and it is not too little. The main reason is that there are not many people who meet the requirements, after all, we do not have a major of controllable nuclear fusion in China, and we have to choose from the field of nuclear energy or physics. ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "It's okay, just take your time, the personnel are not expensive." One person who can do things is enough to be worth ten days of chaos. ”

Peng Hongxi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, there is no need to rush this, the Nuclear Energy Research Institute has not yet been established, and there is no place to go if there are too many people, just take your time." ”

Xu Chuan: "Well, I don't have to worry about this with your help in this regard." ”

"In addition, regarding the numerical control model of plasma turbulence, I borrowed the supercomputing center of NTU to do a check and test, and obtained some calculation and test data, ready to optimize it."

"But the amount I got was a bit large, so I brought it here today. Please find some reliable and suitable researchers here to sort out these calculations and test data. ”

Peng Hongxi took the hard drive from Xu Chuan's hand, looked at it and nodded, "Well, okay, I'll handle this." ”

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, looked at Xu Chuan curiously and asked, "You should have built this based on the paper that was lost before, right?" Is the explosion of the JT-60SA controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor over there in Sakura Country related to your previous stolen paper? ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, it does have a little relationship, the data they took away is not detailed, plus the process is not standardized, and it was directly put on the experimental reactor without thorough testing, so the control system failed." ”

Hearing this, Peng Hongxi glanced at Xu Chuan, and stopped talking.

Xu Chuan knew what the old man in front of him was worried about, and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake on my side, how can it be so easy to control plasma turbulence in the chamber of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor, there are still many tests to be done in the future." ”

Hearing him say this, Peng Hongxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

"By the way, Mr. Peng, in terms of personnel recruitment, please recruit ten more researchers in mathematical and physical models, which will be useful when optimizing the model later."

After handing over the hard drive that carried the mathematical model of plasma turbulence to Peng Hongxi, Xu Chuan continued.

This kind of large-scale mathematical model takes too long to complete by his ability alone, and subsequent adjustments and optimizations have to be handled by additional manpower.

"Okay, I'll write this down for you." Peng Hongxi nodded and replied, "Are there any requirements for the qualifications of these ten people?" ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan spoke: "At least it must be a doctoral degree + two years of work experience." ”

"After all, too low-level researchers are involved in this kind of model optimization work, and it can't help at all."

After thinking about it, he added: "If you have won a top award in a world-class college student modeling competition or have other excellent results in modeling, the conditions can be appropriately relaxed, but the minimum should not be lower than that of a doctorate, and it is best to get a red book." ”

He can't help but set this threshold.

Because according to the domestic academic qualifications, before the doctorate, in fact, it is the stage of laying the foundation, and when you reach the doctorate, you have enough knowledge to participate in this cutting-edge work.

PS: There is a chapter at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, asking for a monthly pass
