Chapter 416 Gifts From Luyang

The old man did not stay in Jinling for a long time.

I met Xu Chuan, talked about the arrangements for controllable nuclear fusion technology, and inspected the construction of the demonstration reactor project before leaving.

Xu Chuan returned to the experimental reactor engineering base and continued to improve some of the core technologies at hand.

Today, he has mastered enough pieces of the puzzle for controllable nuclear fusion, but there are still some core issues that have not yet been completely solved.

For example, regarding the problem of tritium self-sustainment, although there is already a design plan and the institute is working overtime to improve it, in fact, there is still no complete set of feasible plans.

Tritium self-sustainability is also a systemic problem. From what materials to choose as target materials to withstand high-energy neutron beams, to the amount of tritium produced by the reaction of neutrons and lithium, to how to extract tritium elements, etc., it is quite troublesome. question.

Now those relatively common and simple problems have the support of other controllable nuclear fusion research institutes, and his progress cannot lag behind.

On the other side, Luyang, Science Island.

Chen Mingji slowly walked into his office.

Since returning from Jinling, he has been running around outside. Even his assistant Mo Hongyun doesn't know what he is doing.

Looking at the very familiar office, Chen Mingji sat on the office chair and rested in silence with his eyes closed.

A long time passed, and a long sigh came from the office.

"Hongyun, come to my office."

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Chen Mingji finally stood up, touched the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

After a while, assistant Mo Hongyun rushed over quickly.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

Chen Mingji nodded and said, "There is something I need you to do."

"Director, please speak." Mo Hongyun said respectfully.

"Send the batch of ICRF heating antennas originally sold to ITER to the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project." Chen Mingji said calmly.

Hearing this, Mo Hongyun was immediately a little surprised and said hurriedly: "Director, that batch of equipment is our most important thing besides the EAST equipment. Send it to them. This..."

He knew what Chen Mingji was talking about.

That was the heating antenna that China originally manufactured for the ITER demonstration reactor when it was still at ITER.

It is one of the two core black technologies in Luyang’s controllable nuclear fusion project.

The other is the all-superconducting D-shaped cross-section design technology that has been used on EAST.

Originally, that batch of equipment was planned to be shipped to the ITER base in France, Europe, in 2022. Later, something happened to ITER and they were forced to withdraw from ITER. These heating antennas stayed on the Science Island.

This batch of equipment can be said to be one of the most advanced plasma heating technologies in the world. It can raise the plasma temperature in the reactor chamber to more than 100 million degrees in a very short time, and its performance can be said to be the pinnacle.

Not only that, the value of this batch of equipment is over 100 million.

And it's rice gold. When converted into RMB, the total value is probably over one billion.

Just give it to Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project? He was somewhat unwilling to do so.

Chen Mingji waved his hand and said: "Send it over, it's useless if we keep it in our hands. EAST is still far away from the demonstration reactor, and that thing was originally prepared for the demonstration reactor at ITER."

"Although Qixia is taking the route of a composite tokamak device, in the final analysis it is derived from the tokamak device. Those ICRF heating antennas can still be used after modification."

Mo Hongyun sighed, and then asked without giving up: "Is it true?"

Chen Mingji nodded and said, "Go ahead, I have some other things to deal with, I'll leave this to you."

Jinling, Dawn Experimental Reactor Engineering Base.

While Xu Chuan was busy with his work, people from the EAST project of Luyang Science Island came here again and applied to see him.

It was Gao Hongming who sent the message, saying that there was something important.

Xu Chuan didn't think much and met the visitors from Luyang in his office.

He was also a little curious about what another person from Luyang was doing. After all, the handover had been completed before under the leadership of Chen Mingji.

In the office, Xu Chuan saw the person arranged by Luyang. He was a middle-aged man, about forty-five years old.

"Hello, Academician Xu, I am Yu Mu. I am here to continue our cooperation with you on behalf of Academician Chen Mingji and the Luyang Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project."

Standing in front of Xu Chuan, Yu Mu was a little nervous and restrained.

Although he is much older than the one in front of him, sometimes, aura is such a wonderful thing.

Hearing Yu Mu's words, Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Where is Academician Chen?"

Yu Mu replied with a cautious look on his face: "Academician Chen retired from the institute a few days ago. He resigned from all his jobs. Now I am temporarily serving as the director of the Luyang Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute."

"retired?"

Hearing the news, Xu Chuan glanced at Yu Mu in surprise.

Chen Mingji would take the initiative to retire and resign from all his jobs and positions. To be honest, he really didn't expect this.

Strictly speaking, there were no major conflicts or disputes between him and Luyang.

From beginning to end, he actually didn't do anything extraordinary, nor did he do anything to offend the other party.

Although he established a controlled nuclear fusion project on his own and took away part of the funds invested in the controlled nuclear fusion project.

But to say that others are not allowed to independently engage in controlled nuclear fusion, and only under his command, this is a bit too much.

Moreover, there are so many controlled nuclear fusion research institutions in China, and there are also many whose funds do not go through Luyang for approval.

Yu Mu nodded and said: "Before leaving, Academician Chen told me to give you a gift."

"Gift? What gift?" Xu Chuan was slightly stunned and asked curiously.

"The ICRF heating antenna originally sold to the ITER demonstration reactor project has been transported with me. It is currently at the entrance of the institute, waiting for you to receive it."

Yu Mu said: "I should have come to visit you last week, but in order to ensure the normal transportation of the ICRF heating antenna, it was delayed for some time."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little surprised and quickly said: "Are you here? Let's go out and take a look."

He still knows about the Luyang controlled nuclear fusion project.

Although the progress of EAST in the controlled nuclear fusion project is far behind that of the Dawn Fusion Device, it is not without its own unique advantages.

Fully superconducting D-section design technology, advanced ICRF heating antenna technology.

These two technologies are the black technologies developed by Luyang.

Including the ICRF heating antenna technology used in the Dawn Fusion Device, the source is actually from EAST.

It must be said that the ICRF heating antenna designed specifically for the ITER demonstration reactor project is a really valuable gift.

PS: There is another chapter in the evening, please give me the monthly ticket, please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket.
