Following news reports in Renren Daily and Nuclear Industry Times, the forty-five-minute high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time of the Daybreak Fusion Device quickly overwhelmed the academic community and the Internet.
When scholars and researchers in the field of controllable nuclear fusion learned about the miracle that happened at the Dawn Fusion Device, it can be said that the entire plasma physics community was excited.
There are a lot of discussions in major research institutes, and almost everyone's daily topics are inseparable from this matter.
Including the Planck Plasma Research Institute, which sold the old ASDEX equipment to Xu Chuan, a meeting is currently being held to discuss the relevant situation.
"Forty-five minutes? Are you sure you got it right?"
At the conference table, Professor Tillman Lunt looked at the management who passed the news to him with a question mark on his face.
Recently, because he obtained the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite metamaterial from Xu Chuan, he has been responsible for the transformation of Spiral Stone 7X and has no time to understand what is happening in the outside world.
So much so that when he heard the news, Tillman Lunt was unable to react for a while.
Opposite me, the middle-aged manager snorted coldly, threw a newspaper over, and said coldly: "Read it for yourself!"
Tillman Lunt picked up the newspaper with hesitation. The news was reported by Bild, a well-known media in the German country. It is one of the daily newspapers with the largest circulation in the German country.
After reading the paper in his hand, Tillman Lunt read it again from beginning to end in disbelief, with a solemn look on his face.
After confirming that he was not mistaken, he took a breath and was shocked by the facts behind this paper.
Forty-five minutes of high-density plasma magnetic confinement run time!
"Unbelievable. How did he do it?"
After swallowing, Professor Tillman Lunt couldn't help but spit out a question.
Opposite, the middle-aged supervisor said with an ugly face: "I still want to ask you this question! Didn't that so-called dawn device be purchased from us?"
"Why can he achieve a running time of forty-five minutes after taking away the ASDEX device, but in your hands, it only lasts for tens of seconds?"
Hearing this, Tillman Lunt smiled bitterly.
As the head of the Planck Plasma Institute, although he is in charge of the Spiralite 7X laboratory and not the ASDEX laboratory.
But it was he who evaluated the ASDEX device and persuaded the institute's executives to trade with Xu Chuan.
Although he knew very well that it was impossible for the ASDEX device to run the experiment for forty-five minutes in their hands because the performance simply could not support it.
But now that the facts were in front of him, it was useless for him to say anything.
Even if you talk about various parameter data, these senior officials will not believe it.
In academia, whoever controls the funding is the father of the funder. It is impossible for him to refute this, at least not now.
After all, he took the ASDEX device he sold and actually ran it for forty-five minutes.
On the side, Professor Tillman Lunt's assistant Milton Barlow whispered: "Could it be data falsification or something?"
Although Milton didn't want to get involved in this kind of topic, as the assistant of Professor Tillman Lunt, he and Professor Tillman Lunt had a mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial relationship. No matter what, he had to think about it. Please help me figure it out.
But what he didn't expect was that the first person to refute him was Professor Tillman Lunt.
Tillman shook his head and said: "Judging from the reported data, there shouldn't be any problems. The possibility of fraud is low."
Beside him, Milton Barlow's mouth twitched and he was a little speechless.
Professor, I am helping you!
Tillman ignored the assistant and continued: "Rather than falsifying data, I am more willing to believe that he did it."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the senior executives and financial backers on the opposite side became darker, and they stared at Tillman Lunt, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.
Tillman didn't pay attention to these glances. He continued: "First of all, it is certain that the original ASDEX device could not achieve this data anyway." "And find out what Professor Xu did after buying ASDEX back. What changes it has made is very important.”
"My personal opinion is that he must have replaced the original outer ring wire of ASDEX with a high-temperature superconducting material with stronger superconducting properties."
Across the conference table, a middle-aged executive stared at Tillman with suspicion and asked: "You mean these are all changes brought about by the high-temperature superconducting material?"
Tillman shrugged and said: "I didn't say that. Maybe he also modified some other things, such as the control plan or something."
"Honestly, with the forty-five minutes of running time, I think the key is not the old ASDEX device we sold them, but the superconducting materials, control schemes and other secrets that may only be known to Professor Xu. ”
"Don't forget that he is the winner of the Fields Medal for solving Hodge's conjecture and NS equations. No one is more familiar with the movement of fluids and turbulence than him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the field of mathematics today."< br>
"It is not very difficult for him to establish a mathematical control model for plasma turbulence in a controllable nuclear fusion reactor chamber, or to optimize the original control scheme."
"Other than these, it's hard for me to imagine any other changes that would bring about such a huge change."
It has to be said that as the person who single-handedly facilitated the ASDEX device transaction, he is undoubtedly under considerable pressure in the current situation.
If he wants to keep his position, he must at least find some more reasonable reasons.
The high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material and Professor Xu's strong mathematical ability are very good.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the middle-aged manager opposite also showed a trace of doubt and speculation. Could this be true?
After all, judging from superconducting data, high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials do have this potential.
On the other hand, the senior management on the side did not think so much. He knocked on the conference table and asked: "Since you said so, I will give you another chance. When will the transformation of Spiral Stone 7X be completed?"
"It will take another two weeks or so," Tillman replied.
"Okay, if the Helix 7X modified with high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material cannot achieve a time of forty-five minutes in two weeks, you can pack up and get out!"
The meeting dispersed, and Professor Tillman Lunt let out a long sigh.
It took half a month to achieve a running time of at least forty-five minutes. To be honest, he was really unsure.
The forty-five-minute magnetic confinement experiment, if it were the original Spiral Stone 7X, those violent plasma turbulence would probably break the first wall material.
However, after using high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material to transform Helix 7X, there might be a chance.
Tillman is certain that in addition to high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, Professor Xu must also have a complete control plan.
Maybe he has even solved the control of plasma turbulence. After all, he solved the NS equation.
On the basis of the NS equation, the movement and prediction of turbulence is no longer that difficult. If there is a perfect mathematical model, coupled with a powerful supercomputing center, using the modified ASDEX device, it is not impossible to achieve 45 minutes.
Now he hopes that the Spiral Stone 7X can do the same.
Although it does not have a perfect control scheme and mathematical model, compared to tokamak-like devices, the stellarator itself has inherent advantages in controlling high-temperature plasma flow.
I just hope that the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite material is really as powerful as it is in theory.
Otherwise, he is really doomed.
As for the mathematical control model of plasma turbulence.
Thinking of this, Professor Tillman Lunt smiled bitterly again.
Fuck! Why didn't the Germans have such a mathematician?
If so, maybe the current Spiral Stone 7X can run for more than an hour!
