After spending about three days, the researchers at the Star Imitation Star Institute completed the collation of the experimental data.

At the same time, Lu Zhou, who was responsible for summarizing the data, completed the writing of related papers, and finally submitted the paper with more than 30 signatures to the editorial department of the journal Science.

Just when he had just finished submitting the manuscript, the ringing of the phone rang.

Picking up the phone and looking at it, I saw that the Pan Academician called, so Lu Zhou pressed the button.

Almost as soon as the phone was connected, the old phone was full of laughter.

"You guys can, you can hurt the face of Lao Zhou this time. Only he is having a headache at this moment, how to spit out the spit and then swallow it back."

After hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou leaned on the office chair and made a helpless expression.

I have to put my face together, can you blame him?

But even if he said it was a mistake, probably no one would believe it.

After a pause, Pan Academician put on a serious tone and continued: "To tell the truth, I heard that you set the goal of the second experiment to 30 minutes, I was already surprised. I did not expect that I still Underestimating your ability, I am afraid that the Germans themselves did not expect that their ega device can still use this level of waste."

Although the time has only doubled, the difficulty is not as simple as one plus one and two.

It is no exaggeration to say that this single achievement, their research in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, has opened the world a lot.

"What's next? What are you going to do next?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Zhou smiled and said his intention: "Next time, I plan to play really."

Upon hearing this sentence, Pan’s academician looked slightly moved and confirmed with an unbelievable tone.

“Demonstration heap?”

Lu Zhou, holding the phone, nodded.

"Yes."

I heard a positive reply from Lu Zhou. The Pan academician at the other end of the phone took a breath of coldness, and the shock in my heart could not be added.

In terms of pronunciation, the experimental reactor and the demonstration reactor seem to be very similar, but they are completely different things.

The former is only an experimental device that can meet the most basic experimental requirements of plasma experiments, while the latter is a demonstration reaction device that requires a series of steps from plasma confinement to fusion reaction to electrical energy output.

Not surprisingly, for a long time, this demonstration reactor will become a model project for controllable nuclear fusion reactors in China and the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared to the latter, the former can only be considered a toy.

Although the experiments of controlled fusion research have been carried out for half a century, various experimental reactors have emerged in an endless stream, but neither the Princeton Institute of Plasma Physics nor the Max Planck Plasma Institute has a demonstration of controlled nuclear fusion. stack.

The plan for the demonstration reactor will always stay on the timetable of the major research institutions.

In an unconfirmed tone, Pan’s academician questioned: “It’s too early to start building a demonstration pile now?”

Although the one-hour high-density plasma magnetic confinement experiment is worth celebrating, but how to say it, I will start to build this demonstration reactor now, and the steps are too big.

At least as far as the information he has learned, there are still many key issues that have not been resolved.

When I heard the phone on the other side of the phone, I was so confident that he even had some concerns now, whether this guy is inflated.

For the question of Pan Academician, Lu Zhou just smiled faintly.

"It won't be too early. A lot of things can be done while researching. It doesn't have to wait until everything is ready to start. Not to mention the most critical superconducting magnets and control schemes have been solved by us. The first wall of anti-irradiation materials I believe that it is only a matter of time. As long as conditions permit, I have more than 80% of the grasp and can build this demonstration pile."

First of all, I would like to find a way to make the reactor's plasma running track, external field coil, water-cooled divertor, etc., such as the cladding material of the first wall, which is technically impossible to solve. Then make it and install it.

However, the specifications of the demonstration reactor and the experimental reactor are completely different, and the cost of the two is not at all an order of magnitude.

And the money on his hands is almost the same.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou’s line of sight was not caused by the pen that floated to the corner of the table.

It seems that I have to write a letter again.

......

For others, submitting articles in the world-class top journals such as Nature and Science is not an easy task. However, for Lu Zhou, it is not so difficult.

Even if he doesn't consider the Nobel Prize aura and his good academic reputation, and his past cooperation with the editorial department of Science, the weight behind the word controllable nuclear fusion is enough for the editor of Science. The Ministry took it seriously.

There was no problem with the data itself. I did not wait too long. The paper was quickly reviewed and successfully published in the latest issue of Science.

With the publication of that paper, when people learned the miracle that occurred on the star device, almost the entire plasma physics community boiled.

What is the concept of an hour?

Just a year ago, the research on the Tokamak project in various countries was still struggling in the breakthrough of seconds.

However, with the publication of this paper, the research results of national research institutions have been directly opened.

Although it is not necessary to achieve such a long constraint time if the pulse ignition method is used, the shock brought by this one hour is still shocking all scholars who are concerned about this device.

In addition to the academic world, the success of the star device has also aroused widespread concern among the general public, which has led to heated discussions on the Internet.

Some people like it and think that this is a big step towards the future.

Some people expressed concern that human beings are going further and further on the road to death.

Some people are indifferent, after all, the news of controllable fusion is not the first time I saw it. Twenty years ago, some people said that power generation with controllable fusion could be achieved in the last twenty years. However, no one has fulfilled his original promise until now.

But in any case, for this major scientific breakthrough, ctv is at the political level and gives the greatest attention.

In the latest news broadcast, CCTV used a special topic to give a comprehensive report on this matter.

“A few days ago, the Hualing Jinling Star Imitation Star Institute published a paper in Science, which revealed the details of their latest controlled fusion experiment.”

“In the experiment, the research team led by Professor Ren Zhou, a well-known Chinese scholar and Nobel laureate, successfully completed one hour of plasma confinement time.”

“According to comments from industry insiders, the breakthrough of this technology is expected to open a new chapter for the study of controlled nuclear fusion...”

In the news, the central media, in accordance with established practice, cited an interview with foreign media.

Sitting in front of the camera was the 1976 Nobel laureate, three Alpha consultants, and Stanford University professor Burton Rickett. When asked by a CBS reporter about his view of the star installation, he used it three times. Confidence in this word, burst into the shock of his heart.

"...when my colleague told me that someone had made the magnetic confinement time of the plasma for more than an hour, my first reaction was that it was a funny joke. Until he found it from the latest issue of Science. The paper and put it in front of me."

“Even now, my heart is still full of surprises. Especially when I learned that this device was modified on the basis of the ega device, the shock in my heart was nothing to add.”

"ega is absolutely impossible to achieve this level, even if the upgraded spiral stone 7-x can not do."

"I think that China has been ahead of the world in the study of controlled nuclear fusion. If the most critical problems of superconducting materials and plasma control schemes have been effectively solved, they only need to solve the plasma radiation. According to the damage effect on the first wall material, it may not take too long to complete the fusion reactor in the true sense. After all, converting heat energy into electricity is not a difficult thing in itself."

Having said that, Professor Burton Richter’s expression is a bit complicated.

"We have led the way in controlled nuclear fusion research for half a century, but it is very likely that we will lose in the last few seconds. I am not joking, the Department of Energy should pay attention to it..."

Regardless of the importance of the US Department of Energy, the achievements of the Star device have already attracted the attention of the top Chinese.

At the same time, when the paper published in Science successfully pushed the word of controlled nuclear fusion to the cusp of global media attention, a letter written by Lu Zhou also appeared in the elders. On the desk of the hospital.

It is this letter that has affected the sensitive nerves of countless people...
