Chapter 517: A paper causes a stir

After uploading the paper to arxiv, Xu Chuan clicked on the webpage.

He knew that with his position in the academic world, any paper uploaded to Arxiv would inevitably be followed by countless people.

I clicked on an international physics forum, and sure enough, only ten minutes later, the paper he uploaded to Arxiv had been reprinted, causing a lot of discussion.

[arxiv, look at arxiv! Huaguo is about to develop a miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactor! 】

[Impossible, didn't they only achieve controlled nuclear fusion technology in October last year, it's only been half a year, how can there be a breakthrough in miniaturization. 】

[But the one who published the paper on ARXIV is the father of controlled nuclear fusion.] 】

[You mean Professor Xu?] 】

[Yes, he uploaded a paper on arixv titled "On the Feasibility Study Report of Tokamak Devices in Miniaturized and Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology", and PRX also received his submission. 】

[Incredibly, has Huaguo begun to study these? 】

[Maybe it's just a research direction?] I read the paper, and it only gives a path to miniaturization of tokamak devices, and there is no actual data. 】

At the International Physics Forum, the heat of related discussions has risen rapidly.

On the other hand, the first to pay attention to this matter was the research team of the Alcatel C-Mod compact fusion reactor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

While Xu Chuan uploaded the paper to the ARXIV preprint website, the physics team, which had maintained an interest in this aspect, quickly took notice of the paper.

"Professor, I saw a paper on ARXIV in the direction of miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion!"

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Physics, an assistant professor hurriedly pushed open the door of his office, gasped twice, and then quickly printed out the temporary print in his hand, and handed over the manuscript of the paper, which still exuded residual warmth.

Behind the desk, Bradley Mandel raised his head, glanced at his assistant, and said lightly: "Brunt, how many times have I said that the papers you should read are the essence of the articles published in the top journals, not the dross of ARXIV that has not been peer-reviewed." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "And the controllable nuclear fusion technology can only be realized by Huaguo for half a year, in such a short cycle, let alone miniaturization, even Huaguo itself may not have figured out this technology." ”

Assistant Brut glanced at his boss, knowing that his professor and mentor didn't like the Arxiv preprint site, but the author of the paper had to open his mouth.

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, he continued: "But professor, the author of this paper is written by Professor Xu, who solved the controlled nuclear fusion technology, and I think it should still be very valuable. ”

Hearing this, Bradley behind the desk was stunned for a moment, his expression was very surprised.

He must have known this famous name in the academic world. Even if his achievements in physics are not as good as mathematics at present, whether it is the NS equation or the Nobel Prize in physics, it is enough for scholars in the physics community to remember him.

Just, so fast?

Obviously, he feels that the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion is just yesterday, and today, the miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion technology has begun to be studied, and even made progress?

This person, doesn't he rest?

Normally, whether it's a researcher or a scholar, after solving a super puzzle, they will give themselves a period of time off, right?

The long is half a year, and the short is two or three months.

But that person, won't he take a holiday?

Swallowing his saliva, Bradley took a deep breath and took the freshly printed paper from the assistant-student's hand.

If it was Professor Xu's paper, even if it was thrown on a spammy website like arxiv, he couldn't miss it.

If the selection of papers from ARXIV is a gold pan in the sand, then Professor Xu's paper itself is a huge piece of gold.

It doesn't even need to be discerned from the many gravel piles, just sparkling on the beach for everyone to see.

Picking up the black glasses from his desk, Bradley put them on and flipped through them carefully.

Professor Xu, known as the 'father of controlled nuclear fusion', has written a paper on the research direction of miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion, which is undoubtedly something that people in this field must see.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Brut waited for a long time, but did not wait for an answer.

Finally, he waited a little anxiously, and couldn't help but ask in a whisper. "Professor, can his ideas and theories do it?"

"I don't know." Bradley shook his head and continued: "I thought that even if controlled fusion technology was achieved, it would take at least a decade or more to achieve miniaturization. ”

But judging from this paper, it is clear that Professor Xu has enough ideas. For him, once he has enough ideas for a certain problem, it is probably not very difficult to solve the problem. ”

"But I can't tell the exact time, after all, in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, we are too far behind."

With a long sigh of relief, he put down the paper in his hand and closed his eyes and thought about it.

If the paper had been published by another scholar, he would probably just scoff at it and throw it in the trash.

But if the author of the paper is Professor Xu, the situation is completely different.

Although, theoretically, the miniaturization of a controlled fusion reactor is no less difficult than solving the technology of controlled fusion, and in some respects it can be said to be higher.

But in the person who has already performed countless miracles, maybe there is real hope.

However, if the miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology is really realized, the shock may be higher than that of the controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Maybe this shock is nothing among ordinary people, but for the politicians of various countries, this is definitely not good news.

After all, there are so many places where miniaturized fusion reactors can be used.

Unlike large fusion reactors, which can only be used for civil power generation, miniaturized fusion reactors can be loaded onto various equipment, such as aircraft carriers and submarines. Even military equipment such as large bombers

"Professor. Professor"

Just as he was thinking, Bradley suddenly heard the voice of the assistant and student, opened his eyes, and he looked over questioningly: "What's wrong?" ”

Brut swallowed his saliva and spoke, "Professor, judging from Professor Xu's paper, it seems that his research direction is still the miniaturization of tokamak devices. ”

"Any questions?" Bradley asked: "Isn't it normal to continue to research on the tokamak device on China's route to achieving controlled nuclear fusion technology?" After all, this is the real mature technology. ”

Brut shook his head and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I mean, if that's the case, is there a chance for the 'Alcatel C-Mod Compact Fusion Reactor', which we stopped operating before, to restart." ”

"After all, we have a natural advantage in this regard, it was the fusion reactor with the strongest magnetic field and the highest plasma pressure of all the fusion reactors in the world!"

"Maybe we are lagging behind in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, but in terms of miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion technology, we have a chance to take the lead?"

Hearing the student's words, Bradley's heart couldn't help but move.

Maybe they really have a chance?

After thinking for a while, Bradley quickly spoke: "Brute, help me prepare a PPT copy, the content is what you said, give it to me before tomorrow morning, and I will go and communicate with Energy Qiang!" ”

"If Alcatel C-Mod can be restarted, we can definitely get ahead of the curve!"

PS: There's one more chapter later, before two o'clock.

Another: It's going to be doubled soon.,Everyone voted for the monthly ticket.,Yao thanks.。
