Controllable nuclear fusion? !

This sounds really a very interesting topic.

When he heard that Professor Cui Qing mentioned this matter, Lu Zhou immediately became interested.

"Can I go in and visit?"

Professor Cui Qing smiled and said with pleasure: "If you are interested, of course, no problem."

Following the footsteps of Professor Cui Qing, Lu Zhou stepped inside the building.

Originally, he thought that this place was a very high level of confidentiality. As a result, Professor Cui Qing just brushed his hand on the door with his work card, and then took him very easily.

After paying attention to Lu Zhou’s confused vision, Professor Cui Qing said with a smile: “There is nothing to keep secret. You can even retrieve the papers about it in the database of the Rock Library. As for the access control, it is mainly to prevent people from being idle. Come in, the recent security problem in Berlin is very serious."

Lu Zhou joked. "I thought it was confidential."

Professor Cui Qing haha ​​smiled: "Confidentially heavy? Rest assured, that place is not yours, I can't get in."

Contrary to most conspiracy theories described in the literature about nuclear fusion technology, although countries have also opened small stoves for private work in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, most of the research results obtained are basically open. .

According to the iter agreement signed in Paris in November 2006, at each international fusion energy conference, national research teams will report on the latest research progress.

As for why we should cooperate in research, the reason is very simple.

Because the difficulty of this project far exceeds all the scientific research projects that have appeared in the history of the Manhattan Project, the Human Genome Project, and the Apollo Project, and ultimately the controllable nuclear fusion technology is not the scientific research capability of a certain country. It can be done by itself.

Under such a premise, the benefits of closed-door manufacturing are far less than the positive participation in the iter program, and the gains from taking the lead are greater.

For example, the full superconducting tokamak (east) built by China has played a pivotal role in the iter project.

As for the distribution of benefits after the success of the project, it is another game. Now even the shadows that solve the immediate problems can't be seen, let alone those after that.

In fact, no matter whether it is the Tokamak or the design of the imitation star, there is no special secret in theory, and this is why Professor Cui Qing can bring Lu Zhou to visit.

The only part that involves confidentiality is at most the laser fusion used for "ignition".

Because one of the main functions of laser fusion is to simulate a hydrogen bomb explosion, the iter program is in principle played in countries other than the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

However, the research on this part is obviously not visible here, and the study of confidentiality is naturally carried out in a confidential place.

With Professor Cui Qing all the way to the core area of ​​the building, looking at the strange object in the center of the open space, Lu Zhou could not help but sighed: "This thing is like a twist."

The use of twists to metaphor may not be enough, but you have to twist this twist into a circle, seamlessly connected end to end.

As far as geometry is concerned, it is a Mobius ring that is continuously transformed in three dimensions.

In this circular orbit that is wound by the coil, the plasma can all operate stably depending on the constraints of the external field.

In contrast, the tokamak device, which is opposite to the star-shaped device, relies on the magnetic field generated by the external magnetic field and the plasma current. If the plasma becomes unstable once it is disturbed or because of some unknown physical phenomenon, the entire system will be at risk of collapse.

It is also theoretically possible to control the continuous ignition of the star-like device more easily than the pulse ignition of the tokamak device.

However, although the imitation star has so many advantages, it has a fatal disadvantage, that is, the requirements of the processing technology are extremely demanding, and the engineering quantity of the whole set of equipment is extremely complicated.

Even if the running track in front of the road is complicated enough, it is only one of the above parts for the entire nuclear fusion device. And this is a part, I am afraid that in addition to Germany, there are only a handful of countries that can be processed.

This is one of the reasons why Huaguo has pressed all the chips on the Tokamak device in the choice of technical route.

Professor Kleeqing joked: "Is it? I think it is more like a doughnut coated with cream."

Lu Zhou accidentally glanced at the old man, but he did not expect that he could understand the word "twist".

“This is the plasma orbit that has been replaced by the spiral stone 7-x,” said Professor Klein, looking at the device in front of him. “As for the complete body of the spiral stone 7-x, in the eastern city of Greifsvall De. If you are interested, after the report is over, I can take the time to take a look at it, there is a similar experiment to start right now."

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "Is it? I can remember this sentence."

If this is the case, it is indeed an opportunity not to be missed.

Although controlled nuclear fusion is outside his field of research, he is still interested in what is usually only found in sci-fi movies.

However, no matter how many interesting research projects, it is not as important as the work at hand.

After the visit to the Max Planck laboratory in Berlin, Lu Zhou returned to the Bernitz Hotel and began to prepare for the upcoming report.

In this way, the time passed, and it was soon the day when the report began.

According to the original plan, this report will be held at Humboldt University.

On the early morning of Saturday, Lu Zhou deliberately got a bed and arrived at the report meeting one hour earlier.

When he arrived at the venue, the entire venue was almost full, and the crowded people looked into a piece.

In the academic open position, the Max Planck Society, which presided over this report, did not restrict the qualifications of the participants. It only arranged the seat number for those who decided to participate in the report, so it was not only those who had been paying attention to this for a long time. Scholars at the conference, doctors and masters from major universities and research institutions in Berlin have also come together to join in the fun.

Less than half an hour after the report, many people even sat in the aisle of the corridor.

This report meeting has been expected by the theoretical chemistry community for a full two months.

Is this a beautiful misunderstanding, or does it mean new chemistry...

Everyone gaze tightly at the big screen behind the podium, waiting to witness this historic moment.

Next to the station's podium, President Strahman looked at the tight seats in the venue and told the staff to go to the conference room next door to move some idle chairs and put them behind the venue.

After doing this, he cast a line of sight to Lu Zhou, who was copying data to the multimedia desk.

"How is the preparation?"

Lu Zhou said with ease: "Basically ok."

"Refueling," gave Lu Zhou a thumb. President Straman did not say anything extra, but simply sent his blessing. "I hope that all of us can witness history today."

Smiling with confidence, Lu Zhou gently put the tie on the chest.

"This is for sure."
