Chapter 507 New Deception Route

Chapter 509: New deception route

The old man stayed at Xinghai Research Institute for more than two hours. In addition to chatting with Xu Chuan about miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion and aerospace engines, he also visited the four major research institutes and the miniaturized Toka Mark fusion device.

Although the Tokamak miniaturization route is likely to be dead, as the first miniaturized fusion reactor in China, it can still provide extremely valuable experimental data and related experience.

In terms of plasma control and data collection in the reactor chamber, it can bring sufficient preparation for the next stellarator.

After all, tokamak devices and stellarators are both magnetic confinement devices. Although the routes are different, the principles are the same.

However, in the eyes of the old man, this miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactor seems to have some other uses.

Looking at the steel behemoth in front of him, the old man suddenly asked: "Academician Xu, what do you mean, it seems that there is no hope at all for miniaturizing the tokamak device?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "From the experimental data, the tokamak device has fixed shortcomings. When it is running, the high-temperature plasma will cause unique problems such as magnetic surface tearing and distortion."

"These problems were not solved on Daybreak before, but were suppressed through technical means."

"After miniaturization, these problems broke out again and became more serious than before. Continuing research may even lead to major safety accidents in the reactor."

"If the ultra-high temperature plasma of hundreds of millions of degrees gets out of control, it will be a huge disaster for both the fusion reactor itself and the space shuttle and other equipment that uses the fusion reactor."

The old man had some curious questions: "Can't you solve these problems?"

Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "This is not a mathematical problem. It is a systemic problem inherent in the structure of the tokamak device itself. If the core structure of the tokamak device is not changed, this problem will be almost unsolvable."

"Of course, this small tokamak device is not a waste. First of all, trial and error itself is part of scientific research. After all, we have no way of knowing whether these routes can be followed without trying them."

"Secondly, even if it is wrong, this small fusion reactor can still provide us with a lot of valuable research data."

"But if you want to continue on this path, I think it would be more appropriate to change the research direction."

He also thought it was a pity for the old man to give up on the miniaturized tokamak device route. After all, it took money and time to build it, and he wanted to continue to study it.

But in his opinion, it is necessary to break it off, otherwise it will lead to chaos.

Now that we already know that this path will most likely not work, further research on it is just a waste of time and energy.

Instead of doing this, it is better to stop losses in time and invest the remaining time and funds on other feasible ways.

The old man smiled, shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. Everything in the scientific research work is up to you. I was just thinking that if the miniaturization route of the tokamak device fails, we may be able to use this small-scale tokamak device. The wind of change is released.”

"We are the first country to realize controllable nuclear fusion technology. If we spread the news, especially the project being researched by the Xinghai Research Institute under your leadership, it should attract the attention of many countries."

Xu Chuan followed the old man's words and continued: "But the possibility of realizing this path is extremely low and it is highly misleading."

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion is the subject of future research. If we go in the wrong direction, it may be difficult to turn around for a while. In this way, we can maintain a more advanced advantage in this field. "

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and then said: "If this is the case, it would be more truthful to report it through media such as Nuclear Industry Times and Huaxin News. And we should not take the initiative to push it, which is more in line with our consistent low-key characteristics."

The old man smiled, said no more, and continued to visit the Xinghai Research Institute.

On the basis of the promising realization of aerospace engines and small controllable nuclear polymerization technology, some of their previous 'publicity' routes and plans are no longer appropriate.

After all, something that deceives others can never become the truth.

If you really want to do this, it wouldn't be called cheating.

In this case, they have to withdraw some of their previous publicity and reselect some routes to make their competitors cooperate.

The Great Elder did not stay here for long. He chatted with Xu Chuan for a while, visited the Xinghai Research Institute and then left.

After the old man left, Xu Chuan did not stay at Xinghai Research Institute anymore. He packed up his things and returned to his villa.

Compared with previous controllable nuclear fusion projects, projects such as miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion, aerospace engines, manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects are less urgent.

After all, the energy problem has now been solved, and the country's focus is mainly on development.

Whether it is external or internal development, it is far more important than miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion and manned spaceflight.

Therefore, neither the country nor Xu Chuan are in a hurry for these projects. He has enough time to study them slowly.

Nowadays, the four major sects of Xinghai Research Institute have stabilized. Scientific research matters are controlled by four deans, while daily matters are handled by Wen Yuanhang.

As for projects such as miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion technology and aerospace engines, they have to wait for the production of stellarators and improved superconductors.

After returning to the villa at the foot of Zijin Mountain, Xu Chuan washed his face and walked into the study.

He turned on the computer and created a new document.

His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and a line of title soon appeared.

"Feasibility Study Report on Tokamak Device in Miniaturized Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology"

Since the above is going to make a show, then do it in full.

This is not a lie. Xinghai Research Institute is indeed studying miniaturized tokamak devices, but it just hides some key data.

And for such a sensitive project, to be honest, if the key data is put up, others will not believe it.

A paper, or a review, is only three or four thousand words. For Xu Chuan, it can be done in less than two or three hours.

After typing the last period, he checked the paper and nodded with satisfaction.

After the Nuclear Industry Times, Huaxin Newspaper and other media report on the research related to miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion of Xinghai Research Institute, his paper can be published.

By then, maybe someone will "praise" his spirit of science without borders?

After all, this kind of paper that guides the route and direction, although there is no detailed data in it, can indeed "save" a lot of scientific research time.

Especially since the paper is written by him.
