Recruiting scientific researchers and engineers who returned from ITER was something Xu Chuan had communicated with Peng Hongxi and Gao Hongming a long time ago.
For other research institutes, due to the pressure of positions and funding, these scholars who returned from ITER are actually not easy to arrange.
It would be okay if there were only a few people, but in projects like HL-2A and EAST, the number of people who go to ITER to study and research often exceeds double digits, so it is difficult to arrange.
After all, with their withdrawal from ITER, their scientific research projects originally linked to ITER have basically been cancelled.
As for the institute's own projects, their positions were replaced by newcomers, resulting in the rather embarrassing status of these scholars.
But for Xu Chuan, these problems do not exist.
The research progress of the Daybreak Fusion Reactor is progressing very fast, so that the recruitment of scientific researchers has always been in a tense situation.
Nowadays, after the breakthrough in fusion ignition of deuterium and tritium raw materials, a large number of researchers and manpower are needed to fill the vacancies in various scientific research projects.
After all, controllable nuclear fusion is a systematic super project, and all kinds of problems, large and small, need to be solved manually.
And these researchers and engineers who came out of ITER couldn't be more suitable.
On the one hand, they are researching controllable nuclear fusion, and their positions are suitable.
On the other hand, while at ITER, these researchers often communicated with scholars from other countries and had strong theories and ideas about some details and directions of controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Xu Chuan is confident in controlling the overall development and route of controllable nuclear fusion, and he believes that ITER cannot match him in this regard.
But when it comes to some details related to specific facts, such as "how to deal with helium ash in the reactor chamber", such as "extraction of tritium from the breeding envelope" and other details, ITER must have studied more in-depth than he did.
With the help of these researchers and engineers who have returned from ITER, these problems can be solved much faster than relying on the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base alone.
Of course, before accepting these people, there must be an investigation.
Some people who originally relied on connections to get in with qualifications but not much ability; some people whose backgrounds may not be so clean. These things need to be checked clearly.
Because we have to be cautious, the Daybreak fusion device is now the key. Based on Daybreak's current achievements, I believe other countries will covet it.
Various activities such as exploring information, obtaining data, stealing technology, etc. will definitely be stronger than before.
If any of these people returned from ITER are bribed, it may cause extremely heavy losses.
In Jinling and Qixia controllable nuclear fusion engineering bases.
As the New Year approaches, the Daybreak Fusion Device has completed relevant maintenance and restarted again.
Engineers and programmers worked overtime to make relevant adjustments to the optimization plan generated during the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction.
This time around the dawn restart, Xu Chuan was no longer commanding in the main control room.
After the experiment, he just needs to get the relevant data.
While he has time now, he needs to interview a few researchers who have returned from ITER.
Of course, it is not so much an interview as it is a consultation to understand some questions.
Although he was reborn and had a general understanding of the progress of controllable nuclear fusion development in the world, the specific development of a certain technology in certain research institutes was not very clear.
These researchers and engineers who came back from ITER were enough to help him make up for his shortcomings in this area, allowing him to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Dawn he led and the experimental institutions in other countries, or how big the gap was. wait.
"Academician Xu, we have brought it to you."
In the office, Gao Hongming, who was responsible for daily affairs, opened the door and walked in with two people.
The two of them were researchers from EAST, Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu, who were following behind with nervous expressions on their faces.
"Thank you, please." Xu Chuan put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said thank you.
Gao Hongming stepped forward with a smile, put the information in his hand on the table, and said: "Hey, this is my job, thank you for everything, it's not a bother."
After a pause, he continued: "I won't disturb you anymore."
With that said, he turned and left the office.
Opposite, Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu looked nervously at Xu Chuan, who was sitting behind the desk. There was tension in their eyes, but also anticipation, and even the excitement of star-chasers seeing their idols.
Xu Chuan picked up the information and said to the two of them with a smile: "You two sit down first. Don't be nervous. I came to you this time mainly because I want to consult on something."
Hearing this, the two nodded nervously, their butts barely touching the edge of the chair.
While flipping through the information, Xu Chuan asked: "You two have studied abroad and visited the Planck Institute of Plasma, right?"
Wu Pingle nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said: "Yes, when I went to ITER for exchanges, I was arranged to visit the Planck Plasma Institute. I studied there for three years."
"I see it is written in your information that the main direction of studying abroad is the research and study of water-cooled diverters, right?" "Yes." Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu nodded at the same time.
Putting down the information in his hands, Xu Chuan thought for a while and asked: "If it's convenient, can you two talk to me about the development of Planck? Some designs and theories about water-cooled divertors."
< br>
The Daybreak Fusion Device was modified from the ASDEX device. When it was originally traded, the water-cooled divertor technology on ASDEX was also traded.
However, compared to the latest water-cooled divertor on the Spiral Stone 7X, the water-cooled divertor technology on the ASDEX can be said to be almost an antique.
With the help of this wave of people who came back from ITER, he thought about re-optimizing the design of the water-cooled divertor on the Dawn Device.
If the magnetic surface tearing problem and the first wall neutron radiation problem can be solved, the construction of the demonstration reactor project needs to start.
Compared with experimental reactors, demonstration reactors have higher requirements for various accessories.
Wherever we can optimize, we must do our best.
When the person in front of him asked about the water-cooled divertor, Wu Pingle quickly replied: "Of course, no problem."
After sorting out his thoughts and organizing his words, he spoke again: "When I left Helixite 7X a year ago, they were studying a quasi-cyclosymmetric magnetic field configuration water-cooled divertor. This is a kind of water-cooled divertor that can pass magnetic lines. Plan for introducing particle flow and heat flow into the divertor"
"By eliminating the heat energy and impurities produced by the fusion reaction."
Behind the desk, Xu Chuan listened carefully to the report of researcher Wu Pingle.
The water-cooled divertor is considered one of the key accessories in a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. Only the Planck Institute of Plasma Research has achieved the ultimate limit in this regard.
Although it is impossible to rely on these people who are visiting and studying abroad to really promote the water-cooled divertor on Daybreak to be the same as that used on Spiral Stone 7X.
But at least, compared to the old supporting equipment on the ASDEX device, the performance should be improved a lot.
As for the Helix 7X being a stellarator, he was studying a tokamak device. The problem that the water-cooled divertor has different shapes on the two routes is actually nothing.
After all, both are made based on the magnetic constraint route. There are differences, but they are not so different that the principles are different.
These engineers and researchers should be able to optimize and adjust based on the original water-cooled divertor on the Helix 7X and Daybreak.
After listening to Wu Pingle's understanding and introduction to the Spiral Stone Laboratory, Xu Chuan asked some other questions.
On the side, colleague Zhou Xu also helped to add some.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan picked up the pen and checked the two people's information, then looked at the two people with a smile and asked: "You should know that the Daybreak Fusion Device is from the original Planck Plasma Institute. The ASDEX unit purchased at the same time was renovated, and it also has a relatively old water-cooled divertor equipment. ”
"If you are interested, I am here to invite two of you to join the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project. The relevant studio is to join the water-cooled divertor research group, which is responsible for cooperating with the research to optimize and reset the water-cooled divertor."
"As for the salary and benefits, if you two are interested in accepting the invitation, someone will come to negotiate with you later. It should not be lower than your standards at EAST."
"Interested in staying?"
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's invitation, Wu Pingle was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Of course, I do!"
Having the opportunity to join the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Group and working under this big boss is probably the dream of all researchers in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China.
And a long time ago, he heard that the operation method here was very different from other research institutes.
Working here does not depend on qualifications, or in other words, traditional methods such as SCI papers and assessments are not used as standards.
What this boss looks at is your scientific research ability. As long as you have ideas and feasible theories, you will have the opportunity to get independent experiments.
What is the most attractive thing for a researcher?
It’s not salary or benefits. What attracts a real scientific researcher the most is having an independent laboratory and being able to lead the experiments of one’s own ideas!
After all, after embarking on the path of scientific research, I still have dreams.
Looking at the two excited faces, Xu Chuan smiled.
Nowadays, the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project is indeed very attractive. Not only is the welfare package here relatively good, but also the background of this project. Even if everyone relies on the state, this place is far from other domestic research institutions. Nothing can be compared.
After all, he is sitting here.
Of course, it's impossible to work here without working hard.
No matter how awesome the scholar is, no matter how talented the genius is, if he enters here, unless he can surpass him, he will still be a screw turning for the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology.
When doing research here, it is common to live in the institute 24 hours a day, and sometimes even sleep directly in the laboratory. After all, some key experiments require several hours of testing or experimental time. In order to ensure that they are not missed Data, it is normal to lay the floor in the laboratory.
But precisely because everyone is a screw, we have a chance to get ahead.
As long as you can express yourself, you will have the opportunity to get independent research opportunities. This is the working environment that all scientific researchers dream of.
