Chapter 377 This is impossible!
The Qixia controllable nuclear fusion team, which is paying close attention to the first operational experiment of the Daybreak Fusion Device, is paying close attention to this operational experiment, both from the Jinling Municipal Government and from other domestic nuclear fusion projects.
After all, practitioners in the domestic nuclear fusion field basically know some of what happened before.
Including Xu Chuan's words at the acceptance celebration banquet, and some of Chen Mingji's rhythm and focus in the interview after the EAST450-second high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation.
It is not a secret in the field of nuclear fusion that the two men had conflicts and almost came to an open confrontation.
One is the number one person in the domestic scientific community, a double academician and a Novel Prize winner, and the other is a leader in the domestic field of nuclear fusion. Neither party is weak and easy to mess with.
Especially in the field of nuclear fusion, Chen Mingji's influence is much greater than that of Professor Xu.
On Luyang Science Island, Chen Mingji was handling official business.
EAST's 450-second run has passed, and the natural next step is to experiment with longer run times.
According to the plan, the next launch of EAST will be in May next year, with a running time of at least 1,000 seconds.
One thousand seconds, sixteen minutes, this will once again set a new record set by EAST!
How can you compete with him with just a second-hand piece of equipment?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door to the office was opened with a bang, and the assistant rushed in in a panic.
"What's the matter, so anxious?" He frowned and put down the pen in his hand. Chen Mingji glanced at him and said with some displeasure: "You didn't even knock on the door."
With no time to explain why he didn't knock on the door, or even time to take a breath, assistant Mo Hongyun quickly reported the situation: "Academician Chen, the results of Academician Xu's dawn experiment are out!"
Hearing this, Chen Mingji asked with great interest: "Tell me, what were the results of his experiment? How many seconds did it take?"
In his opinion, it would be great if the opponent could surpass the previous record of Korea. As for going higher to the minute level, it is almost impossible.
Hearing this, Mo Hongyun showed a bitter smile on his face.
"It's not seconds, it's forty-five minutes."
"???"
Chen Mingji had a question mark on his face when he heard this: "Forty-five minutes? Are you sure it is forty-five minutes? Not forty-five seconds?"
Assistant Mo Hongyun nodded and said in a tone of disbelief: "I saw this news in the latest report in the Nuclear Industry Times. They achieved a high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time of forty-five minutes. ”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingji quickly took out his phone and searched it.
After confirming that the time of forty-five minutes was real, he almost choked himself to death without holding it up. He stared at the phone in disbelief. The blood vessels in his neck were swollen due to the rising blood pressure, and his face turned red. Like a monkey's butt.
"How is it possible!"
"How is this possible?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Is it unreasonable to achieve a high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time of a tokamak-like device for forty-five minutes?
EAST has attracted worldwide attention in the field of nuclear fusion by achieving 450 seconds, forty-five minutes! Is this something a human can do?
With a running time of forty-five minutes, it is no exaggeration to say that with this result alone, he has left the world behind in research in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.
Even if it is EAST, even if it is expected to reach more than 1,000 seconds next year, it is only sixteen minutes!
How is it possible to do it in forty-five minutes with second-hand equipment that has been retired by others?
He doesn't believe it!
Opposite me, assistant Mo Hongyun said with a wry smile: "How about I go to Jinling to see the situation?"
Hearing the sound, Chen Mingji also came back to his senses.
Looking at the news on his phone and the figure standing in front of the main console, he took a deep breath and said, "No need."
"Nuclear Industry Times" and "Renren Daily" were the first to report this news, and it is impossible to believe that it is false.
Forty-five minutes, although it is difficult not to make people doubt whether the data is fake, but the fake data is of no use to that person, but will arouse the disgust of the higher-ups.
So this matter can be said to be basically true.
However, what he couldn't understand was how the other party did it.
This is forty-five minutes, not forty-five seconds!
Forty-five minutes, this record goes far, far beyond the current magnetic constraints. Even for EAST, the latest record is only 450 seconds, which is only one-sixth of the time.
Even if EAST can successfully run for more than 1,000 seconds next year, it will not be enough in front of this result.
This record is really amazing.
So much so that Chen Mingji really couldn't imagine how they made it.
Opposite, assistant Mo Hongyun asked in a low voice: "Academician Chen, what should we do next?"
Forty-five minutes of high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time, this data, he really couldn't imagine how the EAST device could surpass it.
Even if they are given another year or even two or three years, they may not be able to reach this point.
This is outrageous!
Are Nobel Prize winners so scary?
It’s not like no one in China has won the Nobel Prize before, but I’ve never seen someone so cruel!
Yes!
In Mo Hongyun's heart, Xu Chuan is no longer a genius and a monster, but a cruel one!
From mathematics to physics to materials and nuclear energy, whether it is nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, the fields and industries he has been involved in have undergone earth-shaking changes.
This is really cruel.
Just like a scientist from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, or an omnipotent scholar who traveled back in an unknown number of years, he is omniscient, omniscient and omnipotent.
Hearing this question, Chen Mingji looked a little ugly.
What should they do next?
He doesn't know either.
EAST is so brilliant that it created a running time of 450 seconds and seven and a half minutes. It once broke the world record for controllable nuclear fusion devices. Whether it is a tokamak device or a stellarator device, the longest historical record is only six Just a few minutes.
But in the face of the long time of forty-five minutes, it is just like the meteors streaking across the sky trying to compete with the sun, it is too small.
In the office, the two of them were silent to each other.
I don't know how much time passed, but Mo Hongyun suddenly raised his head, glanced at Chen Mingji, and said semi-tentatively: "Director, I have an idea, maybe I can try it?"
Chen Mingji raised his head, looked at his assistant, and said, "What can I do? Just ask!"
To be honest, he can't think of any good solution now.
Although he is currently a leader in the domestic field of controllable nuclear fusion and controls the allocation of resources in the field of domestic controllable nuclear fusion, it can even be said that most scientific research funds for controlled nuclear fusion projects require his signature before they can be allocated.
But that one was different.
The Qixia Mountain Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project is not under his control, and the corresponding scientific research funds do not need to be approved by him.
In the final analysis, he has nothing to do with the other party.
Those means that are useful to others are of no use to that person.
And more importantly, if he cannot quickly regain his place in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, I am afraid that his status as a leader will soon be lost.
So much so that now that his assistant has come up with an idea, he can't wait to hear it.
Mo Hongyun took a deep breath and said: "First of all, what we can be sure of is that if we rely solely on that second-hand ASDEX device, we will definitely not be able to reach this point."
"After Professor Xu bought it back, he must have modified it or something, including the fact that he came to us before and wanted to use the EAST device to test the mathematical model of plasma turbulence in his hand."
"So I think that the ASDEX device's ability to achieve a running time of forty-five minutes is related to what modifications it made and the mathematical model."
"Except for these two, I can't think of anything else that can lead to such a big change in the ASDEX device."
"And if these two can be clarified, maybe they can also be applied to our EAST device."
Mo Hongyun didn't finish his words, but Chen Mingji already understood what he meant.
After all, in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, many things are universal.
Anything that can be used in the Dawn Fusion Device can definitely be used in the EAST device with modifications, especially since both are derived from the Tokamak device, with only slight differences in some parts.
However, as far as the relationship between the two of them is concerned, he can't stand this old face.
On the opposite side, as if he could see the hesitation and thoughts of his immediate boss, assistant Mo Hongyun took the initiative and said: "Director, we are all doing this for the development of domestic controllable nuclear fusion. After all, one more route means one more choice. I believe that Academician Xu I will understand too.”
