Chapter 407: Welcome to Xu Yuan's guidance work
Because Hou Shengchang had already docked with the Institute of Physics and did not need to go through any additional procedures, Xu Yun officially left Jingzhou City for Luzhou Science Island after accompanying his family for a few days.
Thursday, March 1, 2029.
It may seem like an ordinary day, but it is a treasure for the Institute of Plasma Physics.
It can be said that I am happier than the success of the project.
The reason for this is only because he received news from the Academy of Sciences and learned that Xu Yun, the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences today, would be transferred to work in their institute.
Participate in the Artificial Sun project.
For the name Xu Yun, I believe that no one will be unfamiliar with it.
Especially recently, Xu Yun has just led a research team to successfully conquer superconducting materials at room temperature.
Take the development of the materials industry to the next level.
So much so that it caused a global uproar.
This once again proves Xu Yun's talent, and makes people believe that as long as it is a project that Xu Yun participates in, it is absolutely impossible to fail.
Now such a person is going to take the initiative to transfer to their plasma physics research institute.
How could the people in the entire institute not be excited.
After all, the success of the project is good for everyone.
In fact, as early as when Xu Yun was not rated as an academician, their Institute of Plasma Physics had the idea of poaching people.
Especially seeing that Xu Yun has successfully developed an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine at the Jincheng Optoelectronic Technology Research Institute, it can be said that he is even more greedy.
However, Xu Yun did not show much talent in the physics world, and the field of research was not nuclear energy, so he did not rashly contact people to poach, so that there was no chance to poach people in the future.
After all, in recent years, Xu Yun has been responsible for the research of quantum computers, and has presided over the manned lunar landing and lunar base projects.
Influence is no longer the same.
As a result, no one thought that in this case, Xu Yun would take the initiative to apply to come to their institute.
Just received the news from the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences, many people were confused.
If they had not reacted so much in the past, the key is that Xu Yun has just conquered the superconducting material at room temperature, and now adding it will be of great help to their research on the controllable nuclear fusion device of the artificial sun.
At least there will be no shortage of materials.
It can also help them successfully build a new generation of tokamak superconducting devices in a short period of time.
Therefore, in order to show sincerity and express their attention to Xu Yun, Song Yunhui, the current director of the Institute of Plasma Physics, and Gong Tao, the general director of the physics laboratory of the all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, came to the internal passage of the high-speed rail station to wait.
Specially greeted Xu Yun.
This kind of treatment is not available to other academicians.
"The high-speed rail shouldn't be delayed much, why hasn't anyone come yet."
In the waiting area, Gong Tao walked back and forth with a worried face, and from time to time he had to look at the passage.
I've been standing for a long time, but I still can't stop.
Even Song Yunhui, who was next to him, couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him when he saw this scene.
"I said Lao Gong, I've never seen you so attentive to a person before."
"Why don't you sit down and rest first?"
"Since Dean Hou has already said that our academician Xu will come over, there will definitely be no fake."
After speaking, he directly started and dragged Gong Tao to the chair.
The main thing is that the age of the two of them is here, and they are both half-cut people who are in the ground, and it is really unbearable to stand for a long time.
The key is that it is not appropriate for Gong Tao to stand by himself.
Although Gong Tao did not refuse, he finally sat on the chair, but his eyes did not shift in the slightest.
He even said, "I'm not nervous." ”
"Our Academician Xu is only in his thirties, and I don't know if there will be a generation gap or something in the exchange."
Speaking of this, the whole person thought about it quite seriously.
Of course, he can't be blamed for that.
Although the artificial sun project he is in charge of is a fourth-generation nuclear fusion device, which can continuously release plasma current for thousands of seconds, and is the world's most advanced fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device, it is still far from truly controllable nuclear fusion.
As a researcher who has been studying nuclear fusion for half his life, his greatest wish is undoubtedly to witness the realization of nuclear fusion with his own eyes.
Help human civilization solve the energy problem once and for all.
At present, the overcoming of room temperature superconducting materials has made him see an opportunity.
In addition, there are legendary academicians who take the initiative to help, and it may be possible to achieve controlled nuclear fusion in advance.
Xu Yun's age is indeed much younger than him, but he has never used age to judge a person's strength.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Xu Yun has achieved much more scientific research results than him.
In this case, you should really take the initiative to come and welcome.
Song Yunhui has obviously worked with Gong Tao for a long time, and he knows each other's personality and style very well, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but reach out and pat the other party's shoulder and smile and feel relieved.
"Then you can rest assured, from the news I got it, it seems that our Academician Xu is very easy to get along with."
"There has never been a fight."
"That's good." Gong Tao nodded and said with relief.
is the so-called arrogance of talents, not to mention that it is difficult for young people to control their own hearts, even if they are old in the face of great honor, they may be lost.
In the face of these experiences, Xu Yun can still maintain his humble and warm nature, which is indeed commendable.
In this way, Gong Tao stopped walking around for the rest of the time, and waited for the arrival of Xu Yun's train with Song Yunhui.
——
Meanwhile.
In a certain carriage of the bullet train that was about to enter the station, Xu Yun was wearing this black executive jacket, and simply sorted out his clothes and prepared to get off the train.
This time he didn't bring much luggage.
Anyway, it was all arranged by the Institute of Plasma Physics, and he didn't need to prepare anything.
As for the seats in front of and behind him, there are special security personnel in civilian clothes.
Keep him safe at all times.
It can be said that apart from him and the security personnel, there is no second passenger in the entire carriage.
In addition, other passengers are not allowed to enter this carriage.
Although it will certainly cause some problems in life, it is obviously necessary.
It is an experience that has been exchanged for countless blood and tears.
Fortunately, after adapting to it for so long, Xu Yun has become accustomed to it.
At least these people are in his body, and he really feels safe.
It is worth mentioning that it is definitely the fastest flight speed to travel from Jingzhou to Luzhou.
But although Xu Yun is not afraid of heights, he doesn't like this way of traveling.
That's why I have always chosen the bullet train.
Moreover, if he takes a plane, there is a high probability that he will have to charter a plane, which is too extravagant and wasteful.
At this moment, I saw one of the sturdy and tall men get up, walk over and say, "Academician Xu, we have arrived at the station." ”
Hearing this, Xu Yun raised his gaze to look at the other party, and then nodded:
"Okay."
After this period of contact, he was familiar with the person in front of him, and knew that the other party was the captain of this security team.
The surname is Lin.
When he was in Jingzhou City before, Xu Yun also specially asked his previous driver and bodyguard Wang Pengfei, and learned that the other party was completely incomparable with this Captain Lin.
However, Xu Yun did not ask Captain Lin in detail, after all, different departments always have different confidentiality regulations.
He just needs to know that these people are protecting him.
Soon.
With the train coming to a stop.
Xu Yun casually lifted the briefcase next to him and stepped out of the car door surrounded by the team.
During the process, although other passengers couldn't help but look twice, they didn't pay too much attention.
There is a high probability that I thought it was a star.
After all, Xu Yun's age, plus his appearance and body management, are incomparable to many male stars.
Unlike ordinary passengers, Xu Yun took a special passage.
Avoided contact with too many people.
Reduce risk.
As soon as he walked out of the passage, Xu Yun noticed the two figures that appeared in front of him.
Hardly hesitating, he hurriedly quickened his pace.
Since it has been decided to transfer to the Institute of Plasma Physics to participate in the artificial solar fusion device project, it is necessary to have some understanding of the relevant personnel information and situation.
Therefore, in the past few days at home, he has spent most of his time looking at the materials of the institute.
I know that the two people in front of me are Song Yunhui, the current director of the institute, and Academician Gong Tao, the head of the physics laboratory of the all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device.
Speaking of this academician Gong Tao, he is also quite admired.
Being able to preside over the world's leading domestic artificial sun project, and the annual data shows an upward trend, is enough to prove the other party's authority in this field.
Speaking of which, although Xu Yun has rich knowledge and experience in mathematics, physics, materials and other fields, he has never been exposed to nuclear fusion before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is still a newcomer in the face of artificial sun.
So this time he was transferred to the Institute of Plasma Physics, and he was not ready to participate in the artificial sun project immediately.
Instead, I plan to understand the familiarity first, and make up for the knowledge in the field of nuclear fusion.
Mainly after conquering the room temperature superconducting material, he has no points to turn on brain overclocking, and even the scientific simulator only has two chances, and it will never be used easily unless it is a special situation. In this case, he is more inclined to use his own strength to solve nuclear fusion and truly show his talent and level.
Even if it may take a long time.
But the good thing is that he's still young.
"Director Song, Academician Gong, why did you come here in person, and I really can't help but let you wait for me here."
Xu Yun walked up to the two of them, and before they could react, he was the first to say hello.
Song Yunhui and Gong Tao were certainly no strangers to Xu Yun, and they hurriedly stood up after hearing the words.
There was a happy smile on his face.
"This time, Academician Xu can come to assist in our work, if we don't even come to greet us, won't it make the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences and other research institutes laugh."
Song Yunhui shook hands in time and responded, making it impossible to find fault.
At this time, Gong Tao next to him also hurriedly stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello Academician Xu." ”
"I am Gong Tao, the person in charge of the fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device project in the institute, and I thank you for joining on behalf of everyone in the laboratory."
"Academician Gong has led the development of our artificial sun project, but there are many things worth learning from me." Xu Yun replied with a smile when he heard this, and after a few simple conversations, they became familiar with each other a lot.
The main thing is that although they haven't seen each other before, they know each other well.
Plus there is a common language.
It's easy to get familiar with.
At this time, Song Yunhui proposed: "Academician Xu, we have prepared the car, or let's go back to the institute first and talk in detail." ”
"No problem." Xu Yun agreed to come down.
But just as Xu Yun was about to leave with the two of them, he saw Captain Lin next to him suddenly take a step and respond in a tone that could not be refused: "Academician Xu may not be able to take your vehicle, we need to personally escort Academician Xu to the destination." ”
Since they have taken over the task of protecting Xu Yun, they will definitely do their duty at any time.
Before Xu Yun came here, they had already prepared specially modified special vehicles for Xu Yun's usual travel.
Even if you are in a sudden attack, you will be able to get enough time to respond.
With these special vehicles prepared in advance, they naturally did not allow Xu Yun to take ordinary vehicles.
At the same time, to a certain extent, this is also for the consideration of Song Yunhui and Gong Tao.
To put it mildly, if someone really wants to do something to Xu Yun, then the two people in the same car will definitely be very dangerous.
However, when Gong Tao and Song Yunhui heard these words at this moment, some embarrassed expressions appeared on their faces.
This situation was not taken into account.
Although they themselves and their families will also receive special care, most of the time they spend most of their time in the research institute, and they are not as famous as Xu Yun, so naturally they have not enjoyed this level of security.
Fortunately, their embarrassment did not last long, and soon Xu Yun took the initiative to help solve the siege.
"Director Song Gongyuan, if you don't mind, why don't you take my car over."
He understood Captain Lin's work very well, and knew that the other party was to protect his life, so he naturally would not forcibly take Song Yunhui and Gong Tao's car to the place.
Instead, he invited the two to go with him.
Song Yunhui and Gong Tao came to greet Xu Yun today, but they couldn't go back alone.
So I didn't hesitate to agree.
"Of course I don't mind."
After speaking, he walked towards the parking place with Xu Yun.
As for their own cars, they can only let the driver drive back first.
And it wasn't until everyone came to the car that Gong Tao and Song Yunhui knew that Xu Yun was not a car, but a convoy composed of several special vehicles.
Not only bulletproof but also explosion-proof.
When they got into the car and returned to the institute, they were in a somewhat mixed mood on the way.
is also an academician of scientific researchers, but Xu Yun can enjoy such a standard of treatment at this age, which is indeed worthy of the envy of others.
But envy is envy, but they don't have any jealousy.
After all, Xu Yun can have today's honorary status, which is all earned by virtue of scientific research achievements.
Who made it impossible for them to do this kind of achievement.
It's not a long way from the station to the research institute, but I don't know if it's because of the atmosphere inside the car, so it's very quiet, and no one speaks.
Until the convoy entered the science island where the institute was located.
As the location of the Institute of Plasma Physics, Science Island is surrounded by water on three sides and has beautiful scenery.
It's a good place to work.
Although Xu Yun has not officially joined the Institute of Plasma Physics, he has already had very high expectations for his next work.
"Academician Xu, the front is our research institute."
Not long after, Song Yunhui's voice sounded in the carriage, which immediately attracted Xu Yun's attention.
Looking out the window, you can see the gate of the Institute of Plasma Physics, where you will be headed.
After the convoy drove into a stable park, several people opened the door and came down, and Song Yunhui began to introduce the situation in the office.
"Our institute is an important research base for thermonuclear fusion, and has successively built a conventional magnet tokamak, as well as the first domestic circular section superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, and the world's first non-circular cross-section fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device."
"This nuclear fusion experimental device is also known as the Oriental Superring."
……
Xu Yun listened to Song Yunhui's introduction while walking, and nodded in response from time to time during the process.
He has also learned in detail about the Oriental Superring, that is, the fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion, which can be said to be the most advanced tokamak nuclear fusion device in the world today.
It is also the pride of the entire Institute of Plasma Physics.
After that, Xu Yun was told that the institute had also held a welcoming ceremony for him.
There will be a lot of researchers in attendance.
Originally, Xu Yun didn't like this kind of scene very much, but he thought that this was also an opportunity to get acquainted with everyone as soon as possible, so after a little thought, he agreed.
As Song Yunhui said, there are indeed many people who come to participate in this welcome ceremony.
And their faces were full of excitement.
Especially on the wall of the venue, a welcome banner was specially pulled.
"Welcome Academician Xu to the Institute of Physics to guide the work!"
Seeing that everyone was too enthusiastic, Xu Yun did not forget to say to Song Yunhui and Gong Tao:
"Director Song Gong Yuan, I plan to study this time, but I am not qualified to guide your work."
There is nothing wrong with what he said, after all, he is still a newcomer in the field of nuclear fusion research, but Gong Tao led the institute to build the world's first non-circular cross-section fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, and he is not qualified to guide this alone.
The key is that he is really a little worried now, if Song Yunhui and Gong Tao directly hand over the controllable nuclear fusion project to him at that time, it will really be a black eye.
It is important to know that the technology involved in a controlled fusion device is too complex, and without sufficient investment in the early stage, I am afraid that even if we continue to use scientific simulators, we will not be able to get complete optimization recommendations.
But at this time, Song Yunhui obviously didn't care about what Xu Yun said.
He himself had already walked up to the stage and picked up the microphone to make his opening remarks.
"Academician Xu Yun has just successfully conquered superconducting materials at room temperature, and now he is willing to transfer to our Institute of Physics to participate in the work, which is a good thing for our Institute of Physics."
"I believe that with the help of Academician Xu, our project will move forward."
"Next, let our Academician Xu give you a few words, and everyone warmly applauds and welcomes you."
As Song Yunhui's words fell, the entire venue suddenly burst into warm applause.
And Xu Yun heard these applause and got Song Yunhui's eyes, although he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he had to go on stage and speak.
……
Considering that Xu Yun had just come from Jingzhou, the whole welcome ceremony did not last too long.
This can be regarded as a relief for Xu Yun.
It's just that Gong Tao's words made him stunned again.
"Academician Xu, I don't know what you think of our fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device, and do you have any good suggestions and design schemes?"
Listening to all Gong Tao's words, Xu Yun didn't expect the other party to start asking him about the nuclear fusion device.
The key is that his own understanding of this piece is not very mature.
He naturally understood Gong Tao's dedication to the research of controlled nuclear fusion devices.
As long as there is an opportunity to improve the performance of the unit, it is certainly not to be missed.
So although this time is not suitable for talking about work, he can't help but talk to Xu Yun about the tokamak device.
In his opinion, Xu Yun can create a miracle to conquer superconducting materials at room temperature in a few months, so he may also have his own unique insights on controllable nuclear fusion devices, otherwise why would he take the initiative to apply for transfer to their plasma physics research institute.
It's a pity that Gong Tao is destined to be disappointed this time.
Not to mention that controllable nuclear fusion devices and room-temperature superconducting materials are two completely different things, relying on his knowledge of nuclear fusion, if he really makes a suggestion, I am afraid that it will make the fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device in the laboratory even worse.
He didn't want to take on that responsibility.
Although this will disappoint Gong Tao, he feels compelled to make his true purpose clear.
"That's like this, Academician Gong, although our project team has successfully overcome superconducting materials at room temperature, the research on nuclear fusion is indeed my weakness."
"I took the initiative to come to the Institute of Physics this time to learn relevant knowledge and try to study controlled nuclear fusion."
"Because I know very well how important controlled nuclear fusion is to humanity."
After listening to Xu Yun's words, Gong Tao's face was really disappointed to the naked eye.
I thought that Xu Yun's controllable nuclear fusion project could usher in significant progress as soon as the superconducting materials at room temperature, but the other party came to learn.
The gap between these two things is a bit too big.
For this, it was hard for him to accept.
After a pause of about two seconds, he asked again, "What you just said is true?" ”
"I really don't have a better protocol for a controlled fusion device." Xu Yun nodded again in confirmation.
And this also made Gong Tao completely lost.
It's as if you have just seen hope for a solution to controlled nuclear fusion, and then you have been shattered by the cruel reality.
Although Song Yunhui next to him didn't expect this result, he thought about it carefully.
Xu Yun had just made his mark in the mathematical world to prove the Hodge conjecture, and he showed an amazing talent in the field of materials.
Perhaps, as rumored in the outside world, Xu Yun may have been researching superconducting materials at room temperature for a long time.
That's why it can be conquered in a short time.
In addition, counting Xu Yun's trajectory over the years, it is true that he has not participated in nuclear fusion-related research.
However, disappointment is disappointment, and he is still happy that Xu Yun can join the Institute of Plasma Physics.
You must know that Xu Yun's terrifying talent is obvious to all, even if he enters a new field, he can quickly make huge scientific research achievements that others can't achieve in their lifetime.
With this talent to rely on, then maybe Xu Yun will stay in their institute to study and work, and it won't be long before he becomes the core force in the research of controllable nuclear fusion devices.
When the time comes, we will make a suggestion that will still help the Oriental Superring to achieve truly controllable nuclear fusion as soon as possible.
The thought stayed here, and Song Yunhui hurriedly answered: "No matter what, Academician Xu can come to our institute, it is a great help to our plasma physics institute, I believe that with Academician Xu's talent, even if he comes into contact with the field of nuclear fusion from scratch, he can quickly become a core force." The words are sincere and heartfelt, and they don't look like the scene at all.
In the end, Gong Tao was the one who built the world's most advanced all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device, and it didn't take long for him to return to normal, and he agreed with Song Yunhui's words very much.
"What the director said is right, Academician Xu is so young and talented, even if it doesn't work now, I believe that nuclear fusion will definitely be conquered in the future."
"In the future, you will follow me to participate in the project, and you can come to me at any time if you have any questions."
After listening to Gong Tao's words, Xu Yun was undoubtedly very happy in his heart.
Being able to learn from the person in charge of the artificial sun project and participate in specific research will undoubtedly allow him to grow faster.
Of course, he didn't have to help at the moment, and then he said to the two of them: "One more thing, I have already arranged for room temperature superconducting materials, and I will synthesize enough materials as soon as possible to meet the needs of our research institute." ”
Really.
When Gong Tao and Song Yunhui heard the news, their faces were immediately filled with bright smiles.
"Great."
"If the superconducting materials at room temperature can be put in place as soon as possible, the laboratory can really start building the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device."
"With ambient superconducting materials, I believe that the performance of the fifth-generation device will definitely surprise everyone."
Gong Tao said with joy on his face, as if he had seen the amazing performance of the fifth-generation nuclear fusion device using room temperature superconducting materials.
——
That's it.
It's night.
Song Yunhui, Gong Tao and several other researchers, everyone had a meal together to wash the dust for Xu Yun.
After the meal, Xu Yun naturally returned to the room arranged by the office.
And two postdoctoral assistants were also assigned.
After all, many times personal energy is limited, in order to pursue efficiency, you must not do everything yourself, and hand over some simple work to the assistant to do, saving time and helping newcomers learn and grow.
The Institute of Plasma Physics has been doing a good job in this regard.
In addition to being a postdoctoral mobile station, it has also trained many excellent graduate students.
And as the first day passed, Xu Yun also officially integrated into the new environment.
He became an academician of the Institute of Plasma Physics and served as the deputy chief engineer of the Laboratory of the Fully Superconducting Tokamak Nuclear Fusion Device.
It's just that he, as an engineer, is not involved in specific work for the time being.
As time passed, Xu Yun spent the next two months mostly researching literature in the field of nuclear fusion.
Especially magnetic restraint devices.
With his talent and terrifying abilities, he naturally learns these things very quickly.
In addition, he can consult and discuss with Gong Tao at any time, and can study the world's largest fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device at any time, and his research in related fields is also getting stronger and stronger.
He is confident that even if he does not enter the state of brain overclocking, he can achieve truly controlled nuclear fusion with his own strength.
It's nothing more than the time sooner or later.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that with the efforts of the materials laboratories of various universities to synthesize the superconducting material ZK-33 at room temperature, the nuclear fusion laboratory can finally start the construction of a new generation of tokamak devices.
In the superconducting state, electric current can flow unhindered through the material, forming an extremely strong magnetic field.
This allows the plasma to remain at high temperatures, which provides the necessary conditions for controlled nuclear fusion.
The emergence of superconducting materials at room temperature can maintain the plasma of the substance, thus ensuring the stability and efficiency of the reaction.
It is basically certain that compared with the previous generation of superconducting tokamak devices, the new generation of devices using room temperature superconducting materials will definitely have a significant increase in stability and plasma current released.
However, this does not mean that mankind is very close to mastering nuclear fusion completely.
Because in addition to heating the fusion material at a high temperature and having a suitable container to hold the fusion material at such a high temperature, the two issues themselves are contradictory.
Heating fusion materials to high temperatures requires the particles to be static, and accommodating these high-temperature fusion materials requires the particles to be dynamic.
Because of this, the world's most advanced nuclear fusion device only lasts for thousands of seconds.
There is no value in exploiting it at all.
In short, mankind still has a long way to go to master controlled nuclear fusion and completely solve the energy problem.
However, although Xu Yun can concentrate on studying and researching literature, he can't be assigned to the two postdoctoral fellows under him.
Originally, they were naturally very happy to learn that they were assigned to Xu Yun.
Because this means that it is possible to participate in the overcoming of nuclear fusion, even if they can receive a little task from Xu Yun, they can benefit for life.
But I never expected that after Xu Yun joined the Institute of Physics, he did not participate in the research and development of nuclear fusion devices, and he either read books in the library of the institute every day, or discussed and exchanged with Gong Tao.
This left them alone in the library.
Seeing that the same batch of postdocs have the opportunity to enter the laboratory, it is absolutely false to say in my heart that I don't envy it at all.
Of course, they are envious, but they have no idea of changing teachers.
After all, Xu Yun's identity is there, even if he doesn't have the opportunity to enter the laboratory to participate in research, it is good to learn some other things.
In the library of the Institute of Plasma Physics that day, Xu Yun looked at the literature with relish, and there was a thermos cup on the desktop, even if this method had lasted for two months, there was still no boredom.
After a while, he saw him put down the documents in his hand and looked up at his two assistants sitting there not far away.
Then he picked up the thermos cup and walked over to the two.
After stopping at his side, he said directly: "You two are ready to come with me to the tokamak fusion device laboratory." ”
After these days of research and study, he also has his own understanding of nuclear fusion devices.
At present, the laboratory is about to start the construction of a new generation of tokamak nuclear fusion device, and he, the deputy chief engineer, must be involved.
Perhaps in the actual research operation, new inspiration will be born to improve the fifth-generation room temperature superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion device.
