Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Four: The Envy of Technological Strength
"This laboratory has become intelligent."
"The lab is very well designed."
Entering the research institute, the expert team began to look around, and they were quickly attracted by the minimalist and futuristic design style of the research institute and were amazed. There are also patrolling robots and an extremely tight security system.
"Academician Chen, who created the design of this institute?" Li Jian couldn't help asking.
"Artificial intelligence." Chen Mo said.
Hearing the artificial intelligence design, the team of experts on the field were all surprised. It is hard to imagine that such a complex research institute comes from the hands of artificial intelligence.
"Is this designed by Army Ant's artificial intelligence?"
"Yes. The Academy of Sciences also has artificial intelligence Xia Wa, which should also be able to design architectural drawings. As for how complex it is, it depends on the level of intelligence and the level of assisting designers. Just ask the artificial intelligence team, artificial intelligence can now be Do a lot of things." Chen Mo said indifferently.
"The future is terrifying, it seems that a new era has really come." A senior expert sighed.
Under the leadership of Chen Mo, the entire team successfully entered the underground Starlink Experimental Command Center. Through the huge LCD screen in the command center, they could clearly see the huge [Star Ring] quietly standing in the Star Ring Laboratory.
It is quite different from the fully superconducting tokamak device of the Huizhou Science Island Research Institute. This one looks like a big fat man. They have seen it in the photos and recognized it at a glance.
"This is Star Ring." Chen Mo said, pointing to the [Star Ring] on the LCD screen.
"Can we go down and take a closer look?"
"Don't be so troublesome, you can also watch it here."
Chen Mo pressed a button on the console. Under everyone's astonished eyes, a holographic projection of the same proportion of [Star Ring] appeared in the central open space of the command center.
This scene did not surprise the people on the field, because they always knew that Chen Mo had holographic technology. But the first time I saw a hologram in a laboratory, I was somewhat surprised. After the holographic projection appeared, the experts and academicians in the team circled around [Star Ring], with surprise in their eyes, carefully observing this new type of nuclear fusion device.
Even Ke Jianye, who had doubts about [Xinghuan], didn't say much at this time, and was watching carefully. Li Jian stretched out his hand through the holographic projection, but couldn't touch anything.
"Can you see the structure inside?"
"Yes." Chen Mo activated the control bracelet on his wrist.
This is an intelligently controlled holographic projection. The artificial intelligence of the Star Ring Research Institute is not as intelligent as Mo Nu's, so it is necessary to use a wristband to assist in controlling the holographic projection.
The holographic model slowly became smaller under Chen Mo's gesture, floating in front of the people on the field.
This kind of scene only appears in sci-fi movies such as Iron Man, and the peculiar movie scene becomes real. But these experts and professors rarely watch movies, and naturally they don't know Iron Man.
Then, under the control of Chen Mo, the shell of [Star Ring] was peeled off, and the structure inside the device was clearly presented.
Seeing the design inside clearly, all the experts took a deep breath. The tokamak is already very complicated, and they now find that [Star Ring] is even worse.
"You designed this alone?" Li Jian's voice was obviously unbelievable. If the [Star Ring] device experiment is successful, Chen Mo can be consecrated.
"It's not that I designed it alone. My artificial intelligence assistant helps to optimize it." Chen Mo said without delay.
Such a nuclear fusion device involving various disciplines was independently designed by Chen Mo.
This news is not shocking.
"It's artificial intelligence again?" A senior expert wearing an old tunic said in surprise: "Has artificial intelligence developed to this point?"
"Yes, after the promotion of our company's 'Artificial Intelligence +' plan, artificial intelligence has been seen everywhere. It is not uncommon for some professional intelligent assistants to help work more efficiently. In the [Xinghuan] Research Institute, there is also a AI assistant Xiaoxing."
After Chen Mo explained, he began to introduce the structure of [Star Ring].
"The vacuum chamber is an irregular shape, which is designed based on the plasma turbulence model of many simulation experiments, which can increase the collision of plasma in strong magnetic fields."
Chen Mo presents the annular vacuum chamber independently through holographic projection. Inside the vacuum chamber, there is a purple-red simulated plasma flowing, which is a twisted donut and looks very beautiful.
"Is there a turbulent formula for plasma?" Li Jian asked.
"The turbulence formulas and models are important materials for the research institute. Academician Li wants to read and apply to join our institute's projects." Chen Mo said.
Seeing that Li Jian and others looked at each other and didn't speak, Chen Mo didn't care and continued to introduce.
"Because we don't have the super pressure inside the star, fusion cannot react spontaneously. But as long as the speed of the plasma is sufficient and the temperature of the reaction is sufficient, the reaction can be spontaneous. The confinement field of [Star Ring] can reach a maximum of 60 tes. Pull up."
Li Jian took a deep breath: "Academician Chen, is there such a powerful magnet?"
"It's inside." Chen Mo called out the field system of [Star Ring]: "This is the field system. As for each magnet module and the magnetic field data, it is inconvenient to disclose here."
"What about the cooling system?"
"Here." Chen Mo then called out the structure of the cooling system.
"Your cooling system is the heat generated by the circuit of the cooling device. If it is not a superconductor, the heat it generates is enough to instantly fuse the circuit, right?" Ke Jianye interjected.
The full superconducting technology was built successfully when they gathered the industrial strength of the entire country. There are not many fully superconducting tokamak devices in the world, and he does not think Chen Mo will have such technology. But he never thought that the material Chen Mo used was a normal temperature superconductor material.
"There is technology to solve this problem." Chen Mo didn't care.
"What technology?" Ke Jianye was taken aback. If this can also be solved with technology, then the technology contained in this star ring must be incredible.
Chen Mo replied with a mysterious smile and didn't say much. His secrecy attitude aroused the curiosity of many experts on the field, but Chen Mo still refused to disclose it.
"About these issues, you don't have to worry about it, I have already taken into consideration when designing, and the technology is temporarily not open to the public."
Chen Mo interrupted their curiosity.
There are room temperature superconducting materials, and the current cooling system is sufficient to cool the heat generated during the operation of the circuit. But Chen Mo does not intend to publish the room temperature superconductor material now.
Otherwise, wouldn't these academicians have to open their minds to take a look, and then it would be troublesome to pester him to ask for room temperature superconductor materials.
They don't talk to themselves, and for the sake of technology, these researchers can be desperate.
"Where's the divertor? Can we take a look?" Ke Jianye now has a lot less doubts in his mind.
This [Star Ring] is much more complicated than he imagined. Seeing the structure inside, he is convinced that it is impossible for ordinary people to design such a device.
"it's here."
Chen Mo called out the divertor structure of the furnace, and all the experts were shocked.
"This is a gallium beryllium graphite tungsten alloy, which is synthesized by adding rare elements and some high temperature resistant metals in a specific ratio, retaining part of the metallic properties of gallium, low melting point, high boiling point, and heat resistance and low activation of tungsten. Resist the impact of high-energy neutrons."
"This this this..."
Hearing Chen Mo's introduction, the experts who came out were already crazy, especially Guo Xianming, the material expert who came over, with golden light in his eyes. This kind of material is published, but it is a Nobel Prize material, and it is of great value.
"Academician Chen, I'm an expert in materials science, why don't you give me a test to see if the material is really what you said?" Guo Xianming said.
The shock of everyone was as expected by Chen Mo. These are technologies that have never appeared before, and being seen by them at once is like seeing a baby.
"Professor Guo, I won't bother you about testing, I have done many tests." Chen Mo smiled.
Guo Xianming saw that his own thoughts were seen through, but his face was still not red or his heart was beating.
Then, Chen Mo said: "In the past two days, Academician Wan, you have accompanied them to familiarize themselves with the environment of the institute. If you want to join our project team, I am very welcome. Now the 'tritium' has been delivered, two days later, nuclear fusion The experiment can officially begin.”
After Chen Mo left, Guo Xianming still couldn't believe it, and asked Wan Yuanxi: "Old Wan, is this liquid metal really what Chen Mo said?"
The properties of that liquid metal are absolutely unique.
The solid alloy is used as a divertor. In the fusion reactor, if it is hit by high-energy neutrons for a long time, the metal surface will definitely decay and fall off, or even age.
But liquid metal is different, liquid metal has plasticity and fluidity. As a material for the bottom of the reactor, it can discharge helium ash and other strange impurities in the reactor.
This ideal material was unexpectedly synthesized by Chen Mo.
Now he can't believe it.
"There is indeed liquid metal." Wan Yuanxi nodded.
He was also shocked when he heard the liquid metal material at the bottom of the furnace. But during this time, after seeing Chen Mo's endless variety of techniques, he was already numb.
"Old Wan, is there any way to get it back?" Guo Xianming said.
"No, that's the material technology of the marching ants. Even if I am the deputy chief engineer, there is no way to get it." Wan Yuanxi spread her hands and said that she could do nothing.
Although he is a deputy chief engineer, his authority is also limited. Come here, from start to finish, just assist the robot to install and debug instruments when assembling [Star Ring].
Other times, he couldn't intervene at all.
The entire [Star Ring] was designed by Chen Mo, and he even thought that their team was tricked by Chen Mo to make up for it. Even without them, Chen Mo could still build Star Ring. In fact, they can't keep up with Chen Mo's rhythm at all, and can only be used as auxiliary personnel.
The most important material technologies, etc., he, the deputy chief engineer, has no access to.
"Hey, what a pity." Guo Xianming sighed and said with regret: "If the liquid metal material really has the properties he said, adding such a liquid metal coating to the divertor at the bottom of the super ring will greatly increase the life of the divertor. improve."
"These things can't come in a hurry." Li Jian said.
The group fell silent and began to think about what they had just seen. The technical strength of the Army Ant Company is so terrifying that it makes people envious. Even Ke Jianye, who had doubts about [Xinghuan] at the beginning, has stopped talking. Within a few hours of being here, each of them gained a new understanding of the advanced technology of this institute.
[Star Ring] The construction is complete, the tritium raw materials have arrived, and other preparations are also in full swing, waiting for the experiment to start.
