Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 523: About the future competition

The meeting after the experiment continued until the evening.

Regarding the technical details of the "Liquid Lithium Neutron Recovery System", Lu Zhou and the other researchers in the Institute conducted detailed discussions.

Although the specific plan has not yet been made, the feasibility of the technical route and the general framework for realizing this technical idea have already reached conclusions in the meeting.

Next, we only need to summarize the minutes of the meeting, integrate all the questions, and then open the discussion meeting twice. Basically, we can come up with a relatively complete plan.

The time for the next meeting was set for three days. As for the next three days, Lu Zhou gave the researchers in the house a small holiday.

First, everyone didn’t have a rest during the year, and they needed time to spend time with their family or girlfriend. Second, the neutron beam generated by the fusion reaction caused a large amount of radiation damage to the first wall material. Not only does the austenitic steel as a structural material hit a riddled hole, but a layer of fluffy metal debris is formed on the surface.

I have to say that this is a very interesting phenomenon.

Although everyone can't understand why it will become like this.

Even Lu Zhou, the Nobel Prize laud, can't think of a suitable theory to explain, but the initial guess is that the surface material may be caused by thermal stress. As for the specific reason, perhaps only in the imitation star The plasma itself is clear.

Lu Zhou, who has already planned to abandon the austenitic steel, does not intend to study this subject in depth.

In short, because the equipment needs to be overhauled, the next experiment will have to wait at least a month later.

Back home, the sky is basically dark.

When Lu Zhou opened the door and walked into the entrance, a short and fine four-rotor drone flew.

"Master! Welcome back!"

Looking at the little guy who was swaying in front of him, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but smile.

It is really nostalgic to say, this drone, called "little guy", was a gift from the members when he was a consultant at the Princeton Drone Club.

Later, after he was brought back to China, he took the time to simply modify it and threw it to Xiao Ai.

For this "new toy" that can fly around, Xiaoai likes it quite a bit. Under its request, Lu Zhou installed a speaker for it, replaced the motor, and installed four pairs of short and fine claws on the chassis.

With this magical "little guy", there are other smart home devices including sweeping robots. In addition to helping him look at his home, Xiao Ai can help throw a garbage and clean the room.

Of course, although it gives it the right to use these devices, Luzhou has imposed quite strict restrictions on its scope of activities and the code of conduct.

For example, it can only be operated in the community of Zhongshan International. It is forbidden to fly into the yard of other people's homes, and it is forbidden to move fragile products.

For his orders, Xiao Ai is strictly obeyed. After all, regardless of the problem of unwise intelligence, in essence it is still a program, and for his obedience, it is written into the core code.

"That one, master, can you please do something?"

While changing the slippers, Lu Zhou, who walked to the living room, asked casually: "What?"

Swinging and flying in the side of Lu Zhou, Xiao Ai continued.

"Can you add a led display to my small plane? Speaking of it, it always feels weird to talk with other women's voices. I still prefer more direct text communication. (Shy)"

Lu Zhou:......

What is the voice of other women? Isn't that stuff Google Voice? If you don't like it, you can change it to a male voice.

Also, what is the new operation of reading the brackets with the voice, in order to highlight the upgrade, the emotional system has become more abundant?

I always feel that his little Ai has gone further and further in a strange direction...

Lu Zhou: "I refuse."

Xiao Ai: "Why! (Cry to cry)"

Looking at the little guy who was dangling there, Lu Zhou sighed.

Is this still asking?

Because I always feel very troublesome.

Moreover, he didn't know what to look like when he thought of this guy's face text or expressions all over the house.

In short, this kind of thing that adds no burden to himself has never been done. He has never done it.

Xiao Ai: "Can you install an arm for me? I can do it myself... (grievance)"

Upon hearing this unreasonable request, Lu Zhou couldn't help but vomit: "You let me directly build a table for you. Are you a small jingle or a robot cat?"

Hearing this sentence, the drone stopped there and moved, Xiao Ai was silent for a while.

Lu Zhou guessed that most of this guy was going to check what "Little Ding Dong" was, and most of the time he had already downloaded a complete set on his server, and even started to "scan" it.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou did not take care of it, turned and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Put on the pajamas, go to the kitchen, the boat to make a cup of coffee, then went upstairs to the study, sitting in front of the computer to browse the web.

During this time, because the research work was too busy, he didn't have much access to the Internet. He only heard from other researchers in the institute that the paper they published in Science successfully attracted a wave of eyeballs around the world. The name seems to have been on the hot search.

Speaking of it, since winning the Nobel Prize, he has paid little attention to his own news, and he has rarely been interviewed by reporters.

However, the media at home and abroad, the interest in him seems to have not weakened.

Especially when he made new research results.

Simply read a few news, Lu Zhou raised the cup and took a sip of coffee.

Domestic reports on controllable fusion are basically all about the star device and its leading world for 60 minutes. Zhou Chengfu didn't jump out and say anything. He chose to be a man with his tail. He didn't know if he didn't speak. He said nothing but no one reported it.

In addition, compared with domestic news, Lu Zhou's main focus is still international.

The success of the star device will certainly boost confidence in the entire controllable nuclear fusion field, and will also stimulate some people's sensitive nerves. What he wants to know now is the reaction of his peers to this matter.

At the time, a piece of news suddenly caught his attention.

That is a cnn news video.

Standing at the scene of the press conference, the US Secretary of Energy, Pei’s speech on the reporter, gave a speech on the recently-controlled nuclear fusion technology, and responded to the rumors that the long-awaited US intends to withdraw from the iter organization. .

"The US position on research on future energy sources has remained unchanged."

"... We have invested tens of billions of dollars in research projects on fusion energy, and since the 1950s, our research on controllable fusion technology has been at the forefront of the world."

"I have to reiterate here that the United States has no plans to withdraw from iter. At least I have not seen any documents on this at my desk."

“We will work more closely with our allies in the study of fusion energy and do our best to expand the influence of our research institutions in this area.”

“If the situation is optimistic, we will complete the construction of the controllable fusion demonstration reactor by 2030 and commercialize the controllable fusion technology by 2050!”

“We will complete the work that has already started and we will achieve our commitment to our partner countries...”

Looking at the US Department of Energy's speech in the video, Lu Zhou's index finger gently rubbed on the mouse, if you think.

"...It seems that the Americans are in a hurry."

He can write letters to the relevant departments, and others can naturally.

And compared to the broad prospects of controlled nuclear fusion, China (or Russia) has gained an advantage in a certain technology, and can stimulate the Congressional Budget Committee to save money.

As he saw it.

This competition about controlled nuclear fusion and about the future has already begun.

Later, I am afraid that it is not just the engine, aerospace, nuclear engineering, but even the scholars in the field of controlled fusion, it is not easy to apply for a visa...
