The EAST device broke the world record with an operating time of 450 seconds, and even broke the record for a stellaroid with unique advantages in operation control, which is definitely a good thing to celebrate for the development of controlled nuclear fusion in China.

Aside from other things, Xu Chuan, who saw the news on the Internet, was also sincerely happy for the country and those researchers.

Their efforts have paid off.

If he is not reborn, EAST will indeed lead China all the way down the road of controlled nuclear fusion and occupy a place in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in the world.

Of course, no one knows whether controlled nuclear fusion technology will be truly realized in the end.

Including Xu Chuan himself, even if he has experience in the next ten or twenty years, even if he has taken a new path in mathematics and physics, he does not know whether he can really achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

After all, this road is really too difficult and too difficult.

flipped through the news, and when he saw the interview with Chen Mingji by a reporter from the "Nuclear Industry Times", Xu Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Two and a half billion bought a second-hand piece of equipment, young people are so happy that they are not calm, mathematicians command nuclear physics engineering, and waste national resources.

And if these 2.5 billion are concentrated on EAST, he is sure that he can control it for at least half an hour or even longer.

Although the content of the interviews published in the media is relatively normal, the core ideas and some rhythms can be seen by anyone who understands them.

The whole interview, aside from the information that introduces the achievements of EAST, almost all of the rest is to highlight these core ideas, and through some clever language, to buckle his hat, saying that he is a layman guiding an insider, and influencing the country's development of controllable nuclear fusion or something.

I have to say that with the impact of EAST's success in 450 seconds, this matter has indeed caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet.

Some of the people who ate melons naturally began to discuss.

[Two and five billion, hiss~, does it cost so much money to engage in controlled nuclear fusion? 】

[I don't understand very well, obviously we already have a very advanced EAST, why spend so much money to buy a second-hand one.] 】

[Just like Academician Chen said, young people, don't have the patience to rejoice, it takes too long to build it yourself, you can use it when you buy it and assemble it directly.] 】

[ε=(ο'*))) Alas, Kawajin, it would be great if he devoted himself to research in mathematics, the field of nuclear fusion is a completely different field, not that he can step into it if he wins the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize. 】

[You know a fart, although the ASDEX device is second-hand, but the Planck Plasma Institute spent seven or eight billion euros to build it, and there are many advanced domestic technologies on it, such as water-cooled deflectors, multi-pole field coils, flywheel units, etc.] 】

[300 million euros can be bought, it was Chuanshen who exchanged the high-temperature superconducting materials he developed, otherwise 300 million euros are you thinking about fart, the academician Chen in this report thought about using the domestic ICRF heating technology and Planck to change the technology, but no one liked him. 】

[In addition, Chuanshen's first choice was not to buy, but to find the EAST side, wanting to exchange the use of the EAST device with high-temperature superconducting materials and do research, but the academic monopoly there did not agree, so he was forced to buy it. 】

[It's still a great Sichuan god, he can buy things that others can't buy. Is this the real top boss, with a wide range of connections. 】

[But a second-hand one, which cost 2.5 billion, I still think it's too expensive, can't I build it myself? ] 】

After simply swiping the news, Xu Chuan chuckled and shook his head and put down his phone.

To be honest, most of the comments of netizens who have read this interview report are biased towards Chen Mingji's side.

Indeed, the figure of two and a half billion sounds exaggerated.

However, in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, this number is really small.

Without his high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology, it would have been almost impossible to trade 300 million euros to the ASDEX device.

Even if you dismantle those water-cooled deflectors and other equipment, you can't buy them.

In this interview, Academician Chen Mingji is actually very targeted.

Eschewing the other stuff, focusing on amplifying the figure of 2.5 billion and second-hand equipment.

I have to say that the effect is still very good.

If it were other scholars, under such a strong rhythm, someone would have to come down and investigate whatever the above said.

After all, the identity of the subject of the interview is not low.

The real leader in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China, an academician of the top Academy of Sciences, has just led the Luyang controlled nuclear fusion project to make a fusion operation time of 450 seconds.

Even if one of them was not implemented, they were directly slapped to death by public opinion.

However, for Xu Chuan, the impact of this incident is not great.

First of all, the influence of the Nobel Prize + Philippine Prize is here, no matter what, with these two halos on his head, as long as he does not do anything that touches the bottom of the treason in the country, it is basically impossible to do anything.

What's more, trading ASDEX devices is just a big expense in the eyes of ordinary people.

If it is a simple 300 million euros that can buy back a fusion reactor of the level of the ASDEX device, I am afraid that it will be crazy to receive as much as it wants.

You should know that there is a lot of advanced technology on ASDEX devices.

Secondly, in this transaction, he took his own high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology as a subsidy, which is in his eyes.

As for public opinion on the Internet, to be honest, it has almost no impact on this level.

Shaking his head, Xu Chuan didn't pay attention to this matter anymore.

But Peng Hongxi and other researchers were furious when they saw the news report.

In their opinion, this is framing!

even deliberately raised this matter at the meeting, wanting to go to Chen Mingji to ask for an explanation.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan said with a smile: "What people say is the truth, we did spend 300 million euros to buy back the ASDEX device, what's so angry about this." ”

At the conference table, Zhao Hongzhi said indignantly: "Can you buy back the ASDEX device for 300 million euros?" He didn't even mention the exchange you made with your own skills! ”

"If there is no high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology, how can 300 million euros buy an ASDEX device? How could a scholar in the field of nuclear fusion not understand this! ”

"Moreover, he also slandered us in the interview, thinking that it is already very good that we can successfully ignite and run for about ten seconds!"

"Ten seconds! We can do it when you accept the operation! ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Whether it's his business or not, his mouth grows on him, as for his speculation that our operation this time will take at most thirty seconds, isn't the result still out yet, and it's not a matter of predicting it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "So if you want to slap your face and go back, we will do our best to do our best in this ignition operation experiment." ”

"Nothing beats the results to tell us that he led EAST to 450 seconds and I believe we can surpass that record."

"As long as the results are made, no one outside will dare to gossip anymore."

"So, everyone, get ready! In two days, our own experiments will begin! ”

"Yes!"

The days passed, and the time soon came to October 1st.

On this special day of reunion between the country and the family, everyone is waiting for the controllable nuclear fusion project in Qixia Mountain.

Not only the engineers and scientific researchers on the research institute's side, but even the troops who protect the outside for daily protection have doubled their manpower, and the industrial park has been investigated overnight, not to mention that helicopters and warplanes are floating in the sky from time to time.

This posture gives Xu Chuan the feeling that he has returned to the original acceptance of the nuclear energy β radiation energy gathering and conversion project.

At first, Xu Chuan didn't care too much, after all, although he was in charge of the safety and protection of the project, he could make requests, but it was more arranged by the troops responsible for protection.

It wasn't until Zheng Hai, who didn't follow him much in the industrial park, now stayed by his side every step of the way, that Xu Chuan reacted.

The above is probably worried that what happened in the Fusion Research Institute in the Sakura Country QST will be repeated here, and the additional manpower and Zheng Hai who follows him are all prepared to ensure the safety of personnel.

After figuring it out, Xu Chuan was a little crying and laughing, looking at Zheng Hai, who had been following him, he said, "I said, what are you doing with me today?" ”

Zheng Hai smiled: "For the sake of safety, today is a little special." ”

The corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, and explained: "Controlled nuclear fusion and uncontrollable nuclear fusion are different, and today's experiment has not yet reached the step of directly using deuterium-tritium raw material fusion to generate electricity, even if there is an accident, there is no danger, don't worry." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I don't fit in with following me like this. ”

To be honest, it's unrealistic to say that controlled fusion reactors are completely undangerous.

If it weren't dangerous at all, the matter of the Fusion Research Institute in the Sakura Country QST would not have happened.

Moreover, the strong neutron radiation produced in the process of deuterium-tritium fusion can block very few things, and if there is really an accident in the deuterium-tritium fusion, even with the few helicopters parked at the base, they will not be able to escape.

However, in today's experiment, he still chose helium-3 as the raw material, and mixed hydrogen gas into the process to simulate the fusion process, so there is no danger.

At best, there was some problem with the control system, which caused the first wall of the Daybreak fusion device to be severely damaged.

As for the matter of the Fusion Research Institute in the QST of Sakura Country, it is impossible to repeat it here.

Zheng Hai smiled and said, "Then I'll stay a little farther away." ”

As he spoke, he stepped back a distance of a meter or two, staying in a position that could be reached at any time, and said, "Do you think this is okay?" ”

When Xu Chuan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched again, and he said helplessly: "Whatever you want." ”

After passing through the security check of the guards, Xu Chuan came all the way to the general control room.

Peng Hongxi, Gao Hongming, Zhao Hongzhi, Han Jin and other researchers and engineers have been waiting here for a long time.

In addition, there are two groups of media reporters who are busy in the main control room with cameras.

One is from the "Renren Daily" side, and the other is a reporter from the "Nuclear Industry Times".

There are many media who applied to enter the park to do report tracking, but Xu Chuan refused, if it weren't for the need to leave a little media to report and publicize, neither of which he was ready to let into the general control.

Relative to others, he doesn't like to be in the spotlight very much.

On the one hand, it's because of personality.

On the other hand, it is because in his opinion, there is no need to hype up such phased results.

Of course, it doesn't seem the same to others.

In addition to working hard in scientific research, it is necessary to properly publicize what the outside world is doing and what kind of progress it has reached.

For example, CERN is very fond of holding various press conferences, even if it is okay, it is necessary to announce its own arrangement plan, or announce what phased results a certain research group has achieved, etc.

This also has to do with the nature of CERN, which is a large scientific research institution formed by a coalition of ten or twenty countries, and research funding comes from these member states and member states.

If you don't do more press conferences and announce what you've worked hard to do this year, how will you get funding for scientific research tomorrow?

But for Xu Chuan, there is no need for this.

His scientific research funding comes from China, and as long as the above still supports him, it is impossible to lack funds.

After briefly dealing with the interviews of "Renren Daily" and "Nuclear Industry Times", Xu Chuan came to the front of the general control room.

At 9:55 a.m., there were still five minutes left before the scheduled start of the first operational experiment of the Daybreak Device.

The engineers who debug the equipment have completed the final preparations before the experiment and completed the report one by one.

Glancing at the time, Xu Chuan looked at the monitoring display in the general control room.

In the surveillance footage, the behemoth sleeping quietly in the center of the core laboratory is waiting for the moment to wake up.

The checks and preparations that need to be done are already done, and the rest can be started at any time.

Glancing at Zhao Hongzhi who was standing aside, Xu Chuan asked repeatedly: "The preparations have been completed, right?" ”

Zhao Hongzhi nodded with a serious expression and said, "Confirm it's done!" ”

Nodding, Xu Chuan took a deep breath, gave an order, and said, "Then let's start!" ”

As the instructions came down, the personnel in the control room of each group were quickly busy.

External current supply!

Liquid nitrogen and liquid helium flow in!

Supercomputers and CNC models are in action!

The steady-state magnetic field rises steadily.

Through the monitoring screen in the general control, everyone can see that the steel giant beast that is quietly crawling on the ground is like an oriental dragon, awakened!

PS: Report the situation, it's a lot better today, I didn't go to the hospital to hang the water, I just took some medicine, but the speed of the code word can't be raised, from noon to now, only to slowly grind out this point, the mind is too serious, and I will write a little more, to see if I can do two more tomorrow. Thank you all for your concern.
