The old man didn't stay here in Jinling for long.

After meeting Xu Chuan, chatting about the arrangements for controlled nuclear fusion technology and inspecting the construction of the demonstration reactor project, he left.

Xu Chuan returned to the experimental reactor engineering base and continued to improve some of the core technologies in his hands.

Today, he has more than enough pieces of the puzzle for controlled nuclear fusion, but there are still some core issues that have not yet been fully resolved.

For example, on the issue of tritium self-sustaining, although there is a design plan and the institute is working overtime to improve it, in fact, there is still no complete and feasible plan.

Tritium self-sustaining is also a systemic problem, from what material to choose as the target to withstand the high-energy neutron beam, to the amount of tritium produced by the reaction of neutrons and lithium, to how to extract tritium, etc., are quite troublesome problems.

Now that the relatively ordinary and simple problems have been supported by other controlled nuclear fusion research institutes, the progress on his side cannot be left behind.

On the other side, Luyang, Science Island.

Chen Mingji walked slowly into his office.

Since he came back from Jinling, he has been running outside, and even his assistant Mo Hongyun doesn't know what he is doing.

Looking at the familiar office, Chen Mingji sat on the office chair and rested silently with his eyes closed.

As the long time passed, a long sigh came from the office.

"Hongyun, come to my office."

After closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, Chen Mingji finally got up, touched the phone on the table, and dialed a number to go out.

After a while, assistant Mo Hongyun quickly rushed over.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

Chen Mingji nodded and said, "There is something that needs to be done by you." ”

"Director, please speak." Mo Hongyun said respectfully.

"Send the batch of ICRF heating antennas that were originally sold to ITER to the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project." Chen Mingji said lightly.

Hearing this, Mo Hongyun was immediately a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Director, that batch of equipment, but we have the most important thing besides the EAST equipment, send it to them, this."

He knew what Chen Mingji was talking about.

That was the heating antenna that Huaguo made for the ITER demonstration reactor when it was still in ITER.

It is one of the two core black technologies in Luyang's controllable nuclear fusion project.

The other is the all-superconducting D-section design technology that has been used in EAST.

Originally, the equipment was intended to be shipped to the ITER base in France, Europe in 2022, but after the ITER accident, they were forced to withdraw from the ITER, and these heating antennas were left on the side of the Science Island.

This batch of equipment can be said to be one of the most advanced plasma heating technologies in the world, which can raise the plasma temperature in the reactor chamber to more than 100 million degrees in a very short time, and the performance can be described as the peak.

Not only that, but the value of this batch of equipment is more than 100 million.

And it's rice gold, converted into RMB, and the total value is probably more than one billion.

Just give it to Qixia for the controllable nuclear fusion project? He was a little unwilling.

Chen Mingji waved his hand and said, "Send it over, it's useless to keep it in our hands." EAST is still far from the demonstration reactor, which was originally intended for the ITER demonstration reactor. ”

"Although Qixia is taking the route of a composite tokamak device, in the final analysis, it is derived from the tokamak device, and the batch of ICRF heating antennas can still be used if it is transformed."

Mo Hongyun sighed, and continued to ask, "Really?" ”

Chen Mingji nodded and said, "Go ahead, I still have some other things to deal with, and I'll leave this to you." ”

Jinling, the base of the Daybreak Experimental Reactor Project.

While Xu Chuan was busy with his work, the people of the Luyang Science Island EAST project came here again and applied to see him.

It was Gao Hongming who passed the word, saying that there was something important.

Xu Chuan didn't think much about it, and met with the visitors from Luyang in his office.

He was also a little curious about what people were doing on Luyang's side, after all, the handover had been completed under the leadership of Chen Mingji.

In the office, Xu Chuan saw the person arranged by Luyang, who was a middle-aged and elderly man, about forty-five years old.

"Hello Academician Xu, I'm Yu Mu. This time, I came here to continue the cooperation with you on behalf of Academician Chen Mingji and Luyang Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project. ”

Standing in front of Xu Chuan, Yu Mu was a little nervous and restrained.

Although he is much older than the one in front of him, sometimes, the aura is so wonderful.

Hearing Yu Mu's words, Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked with some curiosity, "What about Academician Chen?" ”

Yu Mu replied with a restrained face: "Academician Chen retired from the institute a few days ago, and he resigned from all his jobs. For the time being, I am the director of the Luyang Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion. ”

"Retired?"

Hearing this news, Xu Chuan glanced at Yu Mu with some surprise.

Chen Mingji will take the initiative to retire and resign from all jobs and positions, to be honest, he really didn't expect this.

Strictly speaking, there are actually no big contradictions and festivals between him and Luyang.

From beginning to end, he didn't actually do anything out of the ordinary, nor did he do anything offensive to the other party.

Although he set up a controlled nuclear fusion project on his own, he took away part of the funds invested in the controlled nuclear fusion project.

But to say that no one else is allowed to engage in controlled nuclear fusion independently, only under him, is a bit too much.

Moreover, there are so many controllable nuclear fusion research institutions in China, and there are many funds that do not go through Luyang's approval.

Yu Mu nodded and said, "Before leaving, Academician Chen explained to me and asked me to send you a gift." ”

"Gifts? What gift? Xu Chuan was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked with some curiosity.

"The ICRF heating antenna over there of the ITER demonstration reactor project, which was originally sold to me, has been transported with me, and is currently at the gate of the institute, waiting for you to receive it."

Yu Mu said, "Originally, I was supposed to come to visit you last week, but in order to ensure that the ICRF heating antenna was transported normally, it was delayed for some time. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little surprised, and quickly said, "Has it already arrived?" Let's go, go out and have a look. ”

He still understands the Luyang controllable nuclear fusion project.

Although today's EAST is far less advanced than the Daybreak fusion device in the progress of the controlled nuclear fusion project, it is not without its own advantages.

Fully superconducting D-section design technology, advanced ICRF heating antenna technology.

These two technologies are the black technologies researched by Luyang.

Including the ICRF heating antenna technology used on the Daybreak fusion device, the source is actually from EAST.

It has to be said that the ICRF heating antenna, which was specially designed for the ITER demonstration reactor project, is a really valuable gift.

PS: There is another chapter in the evening, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass in everyone's hands.
