Chapter 377 This Is Impossible!
The Qixia controlled nuclear fusion team, which was paying attention to the first operation experiment of the Dawn Fusion Device, whether it was the Jinling Municipal Government or other domestic nuclear fusion project personnel, kept a close eye on this operation experiment.
After all, some of the things that happened before were basically known to domestic nuclear fusion practitioners.
Including Xu Chuan's words at the acceptance celebration banquet, and some rhythms and targeting of Chen Mingji in the interview after EAST 450 seconds of high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation.
The fact that these two people had a conflict and almost caused an open confrontation is no secret in the field of nuclear fusion.
One is the first person in the domestic scientific community, a double academician + Nofi double award winner, and the other is a leading figure in the domestic nuclear fusion field. Neither side is a weak person to be messed with.
Especially in the field of nuclear fusion, Chen Mingji's influence is much greater than that of Professor Xu.
On Luyang Science Island, Chen Mingji is handling official business at hand.
The 450-second operation of EAST has passed, and the next step is naturally to conduct experiments towards a longer operation time.
According to the plan, the next launch of EAST will be in May next year, and the running time will be at least 1,000 seconds.
One thousand seconds, sixteen minutes, this will once again refresh the new record created by EAST!
How can I compete with him with a second-hand device?
Just thinking about it, the door of the office was slammed open, and the assistant rushed in in a panic.
"What's the matter? So anxious?" Frowning and putting down the pen in his hand, Chen Mingji glanced at him and said unhappily: "You didn't even knock on the door."
Before he could explain why he didn't knock on the door, or even take a breath, assistant Mo Hongyun hurriedly reported the situation: "Academician Chen, the results of Academician Xu's dawn experiment are out!"
Hearing this, Chen Mingji asked with interest: "Tell me, what are the results of his experiment? How many seconds did it take?"
In his opinion, it was very good for the other party to surpass the previous record of Goryeo. As for rising to the minute level, it was almost impossible.
Hearing this, Mo Hongyun showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Not seconds, but forty-five minutes."
"???"
Chen Mingji had a question mark on his face when he heard this: "Forty-five minutes? Are you sure it's forty-five minutes? Not forty-five seconds?"
Assistant Mo Hongyun nodded and said in an unbelievable tone: "I saw this news in the latest report of Nuclear Industry Times. They have achieved a high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time of forty-five minutes."
Hearing this, Chen Mingji quickly took out his mobile phone and searched it.
When he confirmed that the time of forty-five minutes was true, he almost suffocated himself. He stared at the phone in disbelief. The blood vessels in his neck swelled due to the rising blood pressure, and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.
"How is it possible!"
"How is this possible?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
The high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time of a tokamak-like device was achieved forty-five minutes. Is this against the sky?
EAST has achieved 450 seconds and has attracted worldwide attention in the field of nuclear fusion. Forty-five minutes! Is this something that humans can do?
Forty-five minutes of operation time, it is no exaggeration to say that this achievement alone has left the world far behind in the field of controlled nuclear fusion research.
Even if it is EAST, even if it is expected to achieve more than 1,000 seconds next year, it is only sixteen minutes!
How is it possible to achieve forty-five minutes with second-hand equipment retired by others!
He does not believe it!
On the opposite side, assistant Mo Hongyun smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't I go to Jinling to see the situation?"
Hearing the voice, Chen Mingji also came back to his senses.
Looking at the news on the mobile phone and the back of the person standing in front of the main control console, he took a deep breath and said: "No need."
Both "Nuclear Industry Times" and "Renren Daily" took the lead in reporting this news, so it is impossible that this matter is false.
Forty-five minutes, although it is difficult not to doubt whether it is fake data, but fake data is of no use to that person, but will cause disgust from the top.
So this matter can be said to be basically true.
However, what he can't figure out is how the other party did it.
This is forty-five minutes, not forty-five seconds!
Forty-five minutes, this record is far beyond the current magnetic confinement route.
Even for EAST, the latest record is only 450 seconds, which is only one-sixth of the time.
Even if EAST can successfully run for more than a thousand seconds next year, it is not enough to look at this result.
This record is really amazing.
So much so that Chen Mingji really couldn't think of how they did it.
On the opposite side, assistant Mo Hongyun asked in a low voice: "Academician Chen, what should we do next?"
Forty-five minutes of high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation time, this data, he really can't think of how the EAST device can surpass it.
Even if they are given another year, two years or three years, they may not be able to achieve this level.
This is too amazing!
Are Nobel Prize winners so terrifying?
It's not like there were no Nobel Prize winners in China before, but I've never seen anyone so cruel!
Yes!
In Mo Hongyun's heart, Xu Chuan is no longer a genius or a demon, but a cruel one!
From mathematics to physics, to materials and nuclear energy, whether it is nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, as long as he intervenes in the field and industry, there have been earth-shaking changes.
This is really too cruel.
It's like a scientist from an advanced alien civilization, or an omnipotent scholar who traveled back after who knows how many years, knowing everything and being omnipotent.
Hearing this question, Chen Mingji's face was a little ugly.
What should they do next?
He didn't know either.
EAST was brilliant, so brilliant that it created a running time of 450 seconds and seven and a half minutes, breaking the world record of controlled nuclear fusion devices. Whether it is a tokamak device or a stellarator device, the longest historical record is only more than six minutes.
But in front of the long time of forty-five minutes, it is like a meteor across the sky trying to compete with the sun, it is too small.
In the office, the two of them were silent to each other.
I don't know how long it took, Mo Hongyun suddenly raised his head, glanced at Chen Mingji, and said tentatively: "Director, I have a way, maybe we can try it?"
Chen Mingji raised his head, looked at his assistant, and said: "What way? Just say it!"
To be honest, he can't think of any good way now.
Although he is still a leading figure in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China, he controls the allocation of resources in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China. It can even be said that most of the scientific research funds for controlled nuclear fusion projects need to be signed by him before they can be allocated.
But that person is different.
The Qixia Mountain controlled nuclear fusion project is not under his control, and the corresponding scientific research funds do not need to be approved by him.
In the final analysis, he can't control the other party.
Those methods that can be used for others are useless for that person.
And more importantly, if he can't quickly regain his place in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, I'm afraid his position as a leader will soon be lost.
So much so that when the assistant puts forward ideas now, he can't wait to listen to them.
Mo Hongyun took a deep breath and said, "First of all, we can be sure that if we only rely on that second-hand ASDEX device, we will definitely not be able to achieve this level."
"After Professor Xu bought it back, he must have modified it or something, including that he had previously approached us to test the plasma turbulence mathematical model in his hands with the EAST device."
"So I think that the ASDEX device can be reborn to achieve a 45-minute operating time, which is related to what he modified and the mathematical model."
"Apart from these two, I can't think of anything else that can cause such a big change in the ASDEX device."
"And if these two can be figured out, maybe they can also be applied to our EAST device."
Mo Hongyun didn't finish his words, but Chen Mingji already understood what he meant.
After all, in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, many things are universal.
What can be used in the Dawn Fusion Device, the EAST Device can definitely be used after some modification, especially since both are derived from the Tokamak Device, with only slight differences in some parts.
However, given the relationship between the two, he couldn't bring himself to do this.
On the other side, assistant Mo Hongyun seemed to see the hesitation and thoughts of his boss, and took the initiative to speak: "Director, we are all for the development of domestic controlled nuclear fusion. After all, one more route means one more choice. I believe Academician Xu will understand."
