Chapter 410 The Problem of Controlled Nuclear Fusion (110 Extra Chapters for Book Friend 4786)

In front of the blackboard, Xu Chuan finished drawing the last bit of the structural diagram, and just happened to hear Academician Wang Yongnian's praise for him.

He smiled and threw the chalk in his hand into the chalk box, saying: "It's just an occasional inspiration. Compared with Academician Wang's decades of experience, it's far from it."

Wang Yongnian stared at the structural diagram on the blackboard and said: "Too modest. In comparison, the magnetohydrodynamic power generation + supercritical power generation combination designed by Hou Chengping and I is far inferior to this."

"Your way and method of using energy is simply amazing."

"Using circulating auxiliary heat pipes and auxiliary heat technology, a little energy can greatly increase the residual heat energy that was originally unusable."

"This idea, at least Hou Chengping and I didn't think of it."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: Academician Wang is too flattering. I just provided an idea. "

"In this idea, there are still many details and problems that need to be discussed and designed. I will trouble you for these."

Wang Yongnian retracted his gaze from the blackboard, nodded with a smile, and said: "With the idea you proposed, it is not difficult to redesign this."

"Leave it to us. While we are still able to do it, let's make use of our remaining energy."

Aside, Hou Chengping smiled and said: "If you want to talk about troubles, you have already solved the biggest troubles. We, a group of old men, can't do much."

"The two elders are still strong and in their prime." Xu Chuan smiled and praised.

Wang Yongnian shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about these. While I still have memory today, I have to rush back to record the preliminary draft."

"Let's do this for today. How about discussing some other things later another day?"

Compared to chatting and bragging here, he wanted to go back and design this composite generator set as soon as possible.

The construction of the controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor is a national priority, and the time cannot be extended because of their lagging progress.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Of course, the construction of the demonstration reactor will be handed over to the two academicians. I look forward to your good news."

Wang Yongnian waved his hand, looked at the structural diagram on the blackboard again, wrote it down carefully, turned around and said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Wang Yongnian and Hou Chengping left with the idea of ​​the generator unit. Only Xu Chuan and Peng Hongxi were left in the office.

After chatting for a few words, Peng Hongxi also prepared to get up and leave.

After all, the construction of the demonstration reactor has just begun, and he still has a lot of work to do.

Xu Chuan nodded, and didn't care. It was not just Peng Hongxi, he also had a lot of work to deal with.

Controlled nuclear fusion is a super project, and the construction of the demonstration reactor has begun to approach the middle and late stages of this project.

Such a project involving multiple disciplines such as physics, materials, engineering, and computing requires at least dozens or even hundreds of companies to cooperate with each other to provide different materials and spare parts when building a demonstration reactor.

As the general manager, allocating these resources and solving problems in the process of cooperation are all his jobs.

Although he rarely manages these, and Peng Hongxi and Gao Hongming are generally responsible for the specific matters, he needs to handle the signing and stamping of the contract after the final cooperation is reached.

And although he is a hands-off boss, he still has to take a look at the relevant contracts and materials.

Peng Hongxi got up and said goodbye. Before he walked out of the door, Xu Chuan remembered another thing and hurriedly called him.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Peng, there is another thing."

Peng Hongxi stopped and turned to look over: "What is it?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Regarding the other problems in the controlled nuclear fusion project, please ask Mr. Peng to find someone to count them, and I will see how many there are."

"After all, the demonstration reactor is also about to start construction, and those problems that were originally scheduled must be solved as soon as possible."

Controlled nuclear fusion is a huge project, and well-known problems such as the control of plasma turbulence, tritium self-sustaining, and the first wall material problem are considered core points.

In addition to the core, there are almost countless small problems and troubles surrounding this huge project.

For example, tritium extraction, helium ash processing, how to stably supply deuterium and tritium raw materials into the reactor chamber, how to image the data in the reactor, etc.; these are all difficult problems.

When the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion project was established, he had communicated with Peng Hongxi and got a list of overall problems from him. After some revisions, he assigned it to the researchers and engineers of the institute and handed it over to them to deal with.

Now that almost two years have passed, although he has learned about some related problems sometimes, he really doesn't have a specific number in his mind on how many problems have been solved overall and how many new problems and new projects have been created.

So while the first wall of materials has been solved and the demonstration reactor has just been established, Xu Chuan wants to sort out how many problems there are in the project, and then re-arrange and allocate them.

Peng Hongxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Han Jin to help sort it out and send it to you."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you for troubling Mr. Peng."

"It's a small matter."

Peng Hongxi waved his hand and turned to leave the office.

After two days of waiting, Professor Han Jin finally sent over the questions and information related to the controlled nuclear fusion project.

"Academician Xu, I have sorted out the problems and projects related to the Dawn Fusion Device. Please take a look." Han Jin respectfully put the documents he brought on the desk and reported softly.

Xu Chuan looked up and was shocked by the thick stack of documents on the desk, which was nearly 30 centimeters long. He couldn't help asking, "How many are there?"

"There are a total of 347 problems, 169 of which have been solved, and 178 problems remain."

"There are a total of 163 independent projects in terms of projects, 72 of which have been completed, and 91 of which have not been completed."

"The relevant data information and detailed progress are all in the information in front of you."

"In addition, the general overall information is in the small stack of documents at the top, a total of 17 pages, you can take a look at this first."

"You scared me. I thought there were so many accumulated problems and projects." Hearing this, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to find the small document that Han Jin mentioned from the pile of documents, and flipped through it.

Looking at the information documents in his hand, Xu Chuan couldn't help frowning.

Three hundred and forty-seven problems and one hundred and sixty-three independent projects are not too many for a super project like controlled nuclear fusion.

But the progress is a bit disappointing. In two years, not even half of them have been solved.

It seems that we need to think of a solution. Otherwise, it will be a big pit if the demonstration reactor is built this year but it may not be ignited.
