Chapter 355: Unhappy Breakup
I wish you all a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival! Another: Long live the sweet rice dumplings! <( ̄︶ ̄)[GO!]
Hearing Academician Chen Mingji's refusal, Peng Hongxi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "We can provide the superconductivity simulation operation data of the plasma turbulence control model, and you can make a decision after reading the data first." ”
"In addition, the disaster of the Fusion Research Institute in QST is completely self-inflicted."
"If we want to validate the plasma turbulence control model, we have to start with the minimum amount of control and stop the operation at any time if there is an accident, which is not harmful to the EAST unit."
"But if it succeeds, it will be a huge boost to our country's controllable nuclear fusion cause!"
Peng Hongxi still persuaded, to be honest, Academician Chen Mingji's reason for refusal was indeed legitimate. Because changing the control method of plasma turbulence is indeed a big deal for fusion reactors.
In his opinion, there is still hope to continue to fight.
It's just that Chen Mingji's next sentence stunned him.
"Is it necessary?"
Peng Hongxi: "??? ”
Holding the teacup, Chen Mingji took a sip of warm tea and continued lightly: "The control model of the EAST device is good enough in my opinion. ”
"In the summer of '17, the EAST unit achieved a stable 101.2-second steady-state long-pulse high-confinement plasma operation, setting a new world record."
At present, the controlled nuclear fusion time in the world's longest-running superconducting tokamak device is only more than 120 seconds. It is believed that the next operation of the EAST plant will steadily break this record and create a new history. ”
"I don't have to lose this because of a mathematical model that I don't know how to rely on."
Hearing these words, Peng Hongxi was a little stunned.
He had heard these words from this old friend.
Complacent? Conceited? Pride? Disagree? Disdain? What else?
Yes, the next operation of the EAST device may indeed set a new operating record, but whether it is Peng Hongxi or Chen Mingji, it is clear that even if the historical record is broken and a new history is created, it is only a small step for controlled nuclear fusion.
With a record of more than 100 seconds, is it really worth your pride?
Isn't our goal to see the spark of controlled nuclear fusion bloom on this eastern continent?
Why?
Why would he say such a thing?
Or has his academic or political career over the years made him forget his original intention?
Or is he no longer a pure scholar?
The smile on his face retracted, and Peng Hongxi glanced at his former colleague: "Building a mathematical model of plasma turbulence in the chamber of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor is something that everyone in this field is working on. ”
"Until then, we had always lagged behind other countries. But now, Academician Xu has built a path to hope for us, and we can't just miss it. ”
"So, I hope you can seriously think about it, this will be our opportunity to be at the forefront of the world."
After listening to Academician Peng's words, Chen Mingji said expressionlessly: "Forgive me for not being able to help you, the EAST device has its own tasks and has no time to complete your work." ”
Peng Hongxi took a deep breath: "Don't you really plan to try it?" Don't even want to take a look at the test data of the plasma turbulence CNC model? ”
Chen Mingji took a sip of the teacup and said coldly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't do anything." Our work schedule is very satisfying, and there is no need to sacrifice our own progress to cooperate with the work of outsiders. ”
Peng Hongxi took a deep look at him and said, "Don't forget that the EAST device is not yours, it is an asset of the state, if you don't agree, I will apply to the above." ”
Hearing this, Chen Mingji raised his head and looked at Peng Hongxi, and said lightly: "If you can do it, then go ahead." ”
It is undeniable that Professor Xu's weight in China is indeed very heavy, and he is the first person who deserves it, and even the above must consider his opinions and opinions.
But on the domestic route of controlled nuclear fusion, he Chen Mingji is the real authority and leader.
He once led the poor and white controllable nuclear fusion field in China to the forefront of the world, and also went to the negotiation table of the ITER International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in 03 years to fight passionately, and finally succeeded in getting Huaguo to join this world-class project.
He has been deeply involved in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China for decades, and his opinions must also be taken into account.
If that Professor Xu comes to EAST to develop, he will definitely give his full support without hesitation.
But now that he has started a separate controlled nuclear fusion project, there is no need for him to help an outsider perfect the other party's technology.
The cake in the field of controlled nuclear fusion is so big, and if there is one more person, then the original person will eat less.
The rapid development of controllable nuclear fusion engineering in China, and the fact that the EAST device can create one after another brilliant achievements that break the world record are inseparable from the concentration of national resources on the Luyang controllable nuclear fusion project.
And he Chen Mingji, as the general person in charge of the Luyang fusion project, must be responsible for himself and his team.
The cake is so big, some people share more, and some people share less.
He couldn't stop that Professor Xu from working on controlled fusion engineering, but he could do without support and help.
What if the other party sued the other party? They have their own schedules of work and tasks, and it's normal for them to not find time to work with each other.
As long as he does not let go, the state cannot force him to do other people's work with the equipment he leads.
What's more, the EAST device is already the world's top controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor under his leadership, and he believes that without his support, no one in China can surpass him on this route.
What about Nobel laureates? What can the Nobel Prize won in mathematics or in the field of astronomy achieve in physics?
In this regard, he is convinced that he is the real authority and expert.
Peng Hongxi suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at Chen Mingji: "Chen Mingji, you have changed!" You have forgotten your original intention, and you are no longer worthy to be a scholar! ”
Hearing this, Chen Mingji sneered and said, "Change? I never have. ”
"I have dedicated my life to the controlled nuclear fusion project in China, led the EAST device to the forefront of the world, and my goal has always been to achieve controlled and controllable fusion."
Admittedly, he did have his own selfish motives when he didn't want to help the other party validate the control model for plasma turbulence.
After all, there are only so many resources that the state can provide, and the other party has taken a part, and he can eat less.
But his goals have never changed, and EAST has been moving towards controlled nuclear fusion under his leadership.
As for scholars who are not scholars, as long as he is still working in the field of scientific research, no one can deprive him of this status.
Squinting his eyes and taking a deep look at the colleague who had been in the official experimental operation of the HT-7 device and hugged him excitedly and shed tears of joy when the ignition was achieved for the first time, Peng Hongxi did not speak again, turned around and left the office directly.
He knew it would be impossible to get help from here.
Peng Hongxi and Gao Hongming left, and the office fell silent.
On the side, Chen Mingji's assistant glanced at the empty gate, swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously: "Academician Chen, Academician Peng, shouldn't he really go up there to complain?" ”
Chen Mingji said expressionlessly: "What about going? It's not that we don't cooperate, it's just that we have our own arrangements and work, and we really don't have time. ”
"What's more, modifying the mathematical control model of the EAST device is a very risky thing, and the lessons of the Sakura Country are there, and we can't fall into the same pit."
