On the first day of entering 2020, I received good news, which made Xu Chuan feel very comfortable.

Even Xu Xiao didn't mind the matter of teasing him in the group before.

However, looking at the string of red envelopes in the group, Xu Chuan thought for a while, and inadvertently clicked his finger on the last one.

It's not that he lacks money, it's just that he wants to see how big a red envelope Xu Xiao's girl has sent!

Well, just curious!

"Open!"

[11.11 yuan, which has been deposited in change, can be used to send red envelopes. 】

The red envelope was opened, and the corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched.

Well, this number!

Gan!

Does this broken red envelope also mock him?

Soon, a message popped up in the group.

"Dude? You're so embarrassed to grab a red envelope! Slightly slightly slightly. JPG!”

Seeing the news, the corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, and after quickly clicking on the other red envelopes, he shot back in the group: "Your New Year's red envelopes are gone this morning!" ”

"Oh no! Sorry man, I was wrong! Xu Xiao quickly confessed, ran down from the stairs, hugged Xu Chuan's arm and began to admit his mistake and be coquettish.

This wave is simply a small loss, and I knew that I would send it after receiving the New Year's red envelope!

After the New Year, after leaving relatives, he stayed at home until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and Xu Chuan also set off to return to Jinling.

Compared with previous years, when he had to finish the 12th New Year or even the Lantern Festival and set off again, this year he did leave a little earlier.

However, he still needs to preside over the controlled nuclear fusion project, and he also needs to communicate with CERN and the Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, both of which are very important matters.

In particular, he also made an appointment with Professor David Gross to communicate about the procurement of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials after February 5, although he didn't know when the other party would come, but he should at least go to Jinling to prepare before that.

Bidding farewell to his family, Xu Chuan took the high-speed train from Baling back to Jinling.

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Fan Pengyue, who was staying here, was a little surprised when he saw him: "Why did you come back today?" ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Professor Gross from CERN called me, and basically confirmed that he would purchase high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials from us for the upgrade of the LHC Large Strong Particle Collider, and made an appointment to meet at an approximate time, so I came over in advance to prepare." ”

Hearing this, Fan Pengyue was even more surprised: "? The superconducting order for the LHC collider upgrade, this is at least a super-large order of billions, right? Did you get it? ”

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "With the excellent superconducting properties of copper-carbon-silver composite materials, it is still easy to negotiate an order. ”

Fan Pengyue gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! If you can turn a product in the lab into an order so quickly, you can do it! ”

There is really nothing wrong with what he said, a laboratory product will be successfully transformed into order income, to say the least, it will take a year or two.

After all, laboratory products are a long way from industrialization in the first place, and even if they do1, it is not so easy to find suitable sellers.

Unless it is almost irreplaceable like artificial SEI film, it can be extremely smooth for all manufacturers to take the initiative to pursue.

However, high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials are obviously not, whether it is low-temperature superconducting materials or high-temperature superconducting materials, there are still many superconducting materials that can replace it.

It can only be said that his boss's connections are really terrifying, and CERN's super orders can be smoothly intercepted.

On the other side, when Xu Chuan rushed back to Jinling, a plane came to Huaguo from Berlin Tegel Airport.

"Professor Tillman, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Xu Chuan had not yet met the experts from CERN, so he first greeted Professor Tillman Lunt of the Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.

Smiled and hugged him, and he greeted warmly.

Now that Professor Tillman is here today, the old ASDEX device should be stable.

Professor Tillman Lent smiled and said, "It's been a long time, I haven't seen you at CERN in the last two years." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "The mission of the inert neutrino has been completed, and I won't find anything more if I go over there." ”

Tillman Lent laughed, "What about dark matter and dark energy?" I've been looking for CERN for more than half a year. If you can find their traces, it will definitely be a cross-generational discovery! ”

Xu Chuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "With the current colliders and detectors, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find traces of dark matter and dark energy. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "In addition, I have good news for you, CERN contacted me a few days ago to confirm the purchase of a batch of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials from the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute for the upgrade of LHC. I believe that there is nothing more than this to certify the quality of our materials. ”

Hearing this, Tillman Lent raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "So fast?" ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "The critical magnetic field above 20T is enough to raise the collision energy level of the LHC to more than 100 Tev, you know, this is a huge temptation for the high-energy field and the large strong particle collider." ”

Tillman nodded and said, "This is indeed true. This time, I came here to discuss with you about the ASDEX device and the transaction of high-temperature superconducting materials. ”

Xu Chuan took a cup of tea, handed it to Professor Tillman Lent, and said with a smile: "Of course, if it can be negotiated, it will be great." ”

"For you, the ultimate destination of the old ASDEX installation is to be a museum or to sell to someone else, so it's better to make a deal with me with it."

"As I've seen before, the progress of your stellarite spiralstone-7X seems to be difficult, and you may need some superconducting materials that can provide a stronger magnetic field than modifying the control scheme or further optimizing your water-cooled deflector."

"It improves the performance of the confined field in less time and provides a more powerful magnetic field to ensure that the plasma turbulence in the reactor chamber does not fly around, which is much easier than the first two."

Tillman nodded: "That's true, but after all, the ASDEX device was built by us at a cost of more than 600 million to nearly 700 million euros, and it was 700 million more than ten years ago. Not to mention that we've upgraded it countless times since then. ”

"If you add it up, we spend at least a billion euros on it."

After a pause, Tillman continued: "We are all scholars, so there is no need to follow the businessman's tricks, let's be honest and honest, we need high-temperature superconducting materials in your hands, you need our ASDEX equipment, let's talk about the price." ”

"Although we are looking forward to the high-temperature superconducting material in your hands, ASDEX is also our hard work, and we can't sell it cheaply."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Of course, although the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material is excellent, it still lacks something compared to a fusion reactor. ”

After thinking for a while, he continued: "How about 300 million euros+ to provide a batch of high-temperature superconducting materials that are enough for you to complete the spiral stone 7X upgrade?" ”

Hearing this, Tillman Lent thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The funding of 300 million euros is barely enough, but in terms of high-temperature superconducting materials, I am afraid it will not work." ”

"You should know that in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, the principle of technology exchange technology has always been followed, and although the ASDEX device has been retired in the first two years, there are still a lot of advanced technologies on it, such as water-cooled deflectors, multi-polar field coils, flywheel units, and so on."

"These things can help you and Huaguo improve a lot of progress on the road of controlled nuclear fusion."

"If it's 300 million euros + open high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting technology, I can go and communicate."

"300 million euros is for the purchase of ASDEX equipment, and following the principle of technology exchange, high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting technology is to exchange all the technologies you need for ASDEX devices."

"These also include advanced technologies such as water-cooled deflectors, multi-pole field coils, flywheel units, etc., which we have opened up to you."

"If you can't agree to open up the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting technology for a technology exchange, I'm afraid the purchase price will need to be at least doubled."

Hearing Tillman's answer, Xu Chuan thought for a moment.

He originally didn't want to trade these advanced technologies, but wanted to use funds + a batch of high-temperature superconducting materials to buy the ASDEX device back and study it himself.

In fact, 300 million euros is the purchase of ASDEX equipment, and then the exchange of technology, to be honest, for Huaguo, this is not a loss, it can even be said to be earned, and it is actually a lot of money.

As Tillman said, advanced technologies such as water-cooled deflectors, multi-polar field coils, and flywheel units on ASDEX can greatly promote China's progress on the road to controlled nuclear fusion.

It's just that for himself, this transaction needs to be considered, after all, the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting material is his own technology, even if it is only the most basic version of the open.

But for him, it's not something to think about for a long time.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan nodded and agreed: "No problem, but regarding the water-cooled deflector, multi-polar field coil, flywheel unit and other technologies on ASDEX, I need to organize a team to go to your side to learn, including the transformation after ASDEX is transported in the future, and you also need to arrange experts to come and cooperate." ”

If Tillman had proposed an open technology before the optimization of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, he might have considered it for a longer time.

But now that the optimization is complete, there's no need to think too much about it. As long as you keep yourself ahead of the curve, it's enough.

Hearing this, Professor Tillman had a smile on his face and stretched out his right hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future!" ”

Xu Chuan smiled: "Happy cooperation!" ”

PS: The second more asks for a monthly pass!
