Section 272

Xiao Yi's eyebrows slightly raised.

Never mind, let's go to the experiment first.

First, observe its surface to determine its surface uniformity.

After observation, it can be basically determined that its uniformity is quite good.

It is not in vain for the new furnace he specially designed and the program he spent a lot of time writing.

Then he began to conduct various further tests.

After the test, it can be determined that the state inside is slightly uneven.

After he divided the sample into 10 small pieces, he was able to clearly test through experiments that there are certain differences in properties.

This may be related to the accuracy of the furnace and the test time.

The process needs to be further optimized.

However, what surprised Xiao Yi a little was that.

Among them, the small piece numbered 7, which is more golden in color, is particularly outstanding in properties.

Especially...

When he used the material mastery to simulate the situation when it was bombarded by high-energy neutrons, it actually showed that it was almost close to the theoretical resistance to neutron radiation of twisted carbon!

This means that this seventh small piece is already infinitely close to his goal!

It can even be said that this seventh small piece has reached his original goal!

Such properties can already meet the needs of the first wall material for long-term controlled nuclear fusion.

At this moment, his mood has become extremely excited!

Even when he won the Fields Medal and won three first prizes some time ago, he was not as excited as he is now.

Because this represents that nuclear fusion will be truly realized.

It also represents that science and technology are really endless!

Looking at the gold on this small piece.

Is this considered a ten-shot, direct gold?

Xiao Yi showed a relieved smile.

The entanglements in his heart at the beginning also disappeared at this time.

Of course, his mood soon calmed down.

This seventh small piece did achieve the goal, but he also needed to figure out what the internal structure of the seventh small piece was like and how to produce it stably.

Only in this way can such materials be mass-produced in the future to provide basic materials for the construction of new nuclear fusion reactors in the future.

But in any case, this material is officially announced, and the realization of controlled nuclear fusion has begun to enter the countdown.

The sound of the wheel of history rolling has come from afar!

"Ah~"

Xiao Yi yawned deeply, and looked at the time. It was already quite late.

It's time to go to bed.

It's rare to stay up all night tonight.

But it is conceivable that he will have a good dream tonight.

He cleaned up the laboratory and returned to the office.

It was so late, so he simply slept in the office.

But before going to bed, he saw the video about the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on the Internet.

Then, the picture of the Smurfs making a scissors hand made him completely silent.

He should not dream tonight.

...

No words all night.

The next day.

When people were discussing the opening ceremony, Xiao Yi just woke up from his dream.

Although he still dreamed at night, fortunately, it was not those messy dreams, but the dream of him igniting the nuclear fusion reactor and announcing that mankind has officially entered the nuclear fusion era.

As for the next task, it has been made clear.

Carry out more experiments on the seventh small piece and find out whether it can be further optimized. It would be best if it can achieve the theoretical properties of twisted carbon. Even if it cannot be achieved, there is no need to worry too much. It is enough.

As for this seventh small piece of material, he named it MHT-7.

Without any rest, Xiao Yi officially started the research on MHT-7.

Undoubtedly, it is now simpler than before.

…

Time gradually came to the end of August 2024.

The enrollment time for the new year has arrived.

The freshmen of the University of Science and Technology reported on the 23rd, and the entrance examination was on the 24th. It was regarded as the "fine tradition" of the University of Science and Technology, which filled the emptiness of these high school students who had not taken exams for a long time a few months ago.

Of course, for these students, they also care about what the next course will be like.

In some freshman dormitories of the School of Mathematics, after getting to know each other, some of the more extroverted freshmen have begun to discuss.

The talented teenagers in Hua Luogeng's mathematics class were even more excited: "Fuck, our number theory teacher is Professor Xiao Yi!"

"Ah? Ah? Ah?"

The students in Hua Luogeng's class were shocked when they heard the news.

"The Xiao Yi you are talking about, is the Xiao Yi I think of?"

"Is there another professor named Xiao Yi in the School of Mathematics at USTC?"

"Fuck!"

Soon, the news spread, and almost the whole school was shocked.

As a school that focuses on science and engineering, Xiao Yi's name in USTC is well known.

If you don't know Xiao Yi, you will first be suspected of being a USTC student.

Then, this year's Hua Luogeng class greeted other classes.

The junior class said they also wanted Xiao Yi to teach them mathematics.

And the sophomores and above in Hua Luogeng's class couldn't sit still.

Zhao, why?

They were the first to come, why can't they enjoy it?

In the end, there was no other way, so the School of Mathematics issued a special notice, saying that Xiao Yi's classroom would be moved to a large classroom, and anyone who was interested could attend the class.

It can only be said that Xiao Yi's influence has reached an extremely high level.

Even President Bao Hexin joked: "I feel that if Professor Xiao were to be the president, he would be more convincing than me."

That is, it is not ancient times now, otherwise President Bao's words would be more or less dangerous.

However, with the start of military training, the freshmen did not have so much free time to care about who was in class, so they had to get through the military training first.

Time went on to September 3.

And this day was the time for freshmen to enroll in graduate school.

Xiao Yi also came to school on this day and met several of his graduate students.

Chapter 234 No Longer Far Away

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yi came to the office building of the School of Mathematical Sciences of USTC.

Xiao Yi's office was on the third floor, a single-person office, and its specifications were not much different from the dean's office.

After all, he is a Fields Medal winner, and the treatment in the School of Mathematics is of course the best.

However, although the office is very good, Xiao Yi has not come here many times for a long time, and he is mainly in the Science Island Laboratory.

Of course, starting from this semester, Xiao Yi will use it more often.

He simply cleaned up the office. There is no need to worry about the hygiene. The school usually arranges people to come here for regular cleaning.

Finally, he sat at the desk and took out a pile of experimental materials from his briefcase and started to read them.

After more than a month of experiments, he has gradually mastered the synthesis rules of MHT-7. Although there is still a step behind in the yield rate, for such a material with a complex synthesis method, a low yield rate is also a normal phenomenon. The yield rate is also a key factor that ultimately affects the cost.

In addition, he has also optimized MHT-7. Now there are two improved models, MHT-8 and MHT-9, which are closer to the theoretical performance of twisted carbon in terms of performance than MHT-7.

However, the yield rate of these two improved models is even lower, which is a cliff-like drop compared to the yield rate of MHT-7.
