Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 257 Completed in One Go? New Discovery of Chaos Field!
"The device is one percent short of completion..."

"What's the difference?"

For any experiment-related task, the completion of the experimental equipment is a necessary foundation for the research institute. It must reach 100% before the experiment can be carried out, and then data can be obtained and analyzed to complete the research.

Although the difficulty of constructing the experimental device has reached level A, in fact, because it is only 1% short, only 30 scientific research coins are needed to know how to modify it.

From the perspective of system task logic, 1% means between 0 and 1%. In other words, the device may be just one point away from completion, and it is very close to completion.

Zhang Shuo did not spend coins directly, but instead thought carefully about the device design.

The devices that have been renovated now are all designed by him, and the main modification is the installation of a lot of testing equipment.

In order to cooperate with the operation of the detection equipment, the inside and outside of the device were also modified.

For example, outside the insulation layer there are materials for measuring changes in electrical signals.

For example, the device is connected to cutting-edge magnetic field strength instruments both inside and outside, which can measure abnormal changes in internal and external magnetic fields at any time.

This measurement is very important and also very difficult.

Because the tokamak device originally uses a spiral magnetic field to control ultra-high temperature plasma, the magnetic field strength inside the device is very high, and even slight changes in the magnetic field strength are difficult to measure.

At the same time, changes in internal magnetic field strength may also be dangerous in the experiment.

If the change in internal magnetic field strength is one of the manifestations of strong conversion of electromagnetic force, the change itself will greatly affect the internal reaction, perhaps making the reaction become extremely violent and causing the experiment to get out of control. It is also possible that a single-point explosion will occur, causing damage to the equipment.

In response to this point, Zhang Shuo conducted calculations based on the theoretical basis of his research. He estimated that even if a similar situation occurred, only internal damage would occur to the equipment, and would not cause an explosion that spread to the outside.

In addition, the data analysis system has also been improved.

Each parameter value will be compared with the previous experimental data.

If the deviation is too large, the data system will provide timely feedback.

and many more.

The series of modifications are relatively complete, and the detection of internal and external angles has a high possibility of detecting abnormal electrical signals and magnetic field changes.

Of course, it's not 100%.

This is mainly because the research does not know the specific form of the strong force conversion into electromagnetic force, and after the new task was established, the experimental equipment was not completed, which also means that the experiment is unlikely to measure anything.

As soon as a clear signal is detected, the device must be completed.

Zhang Shuo began to think carefully. He thought from a theoretical basis that strong force is not like electromagnetic force and gravitational force, which will form a large-scale field.

Nuclear fusion itself is an exponential conduction reaction that relies on the contact and impact of active neutrons and atomic nuclei.

Strong force is mainly reflected in the changes of atomic nuclei and neutrons.

The splitting of the nuclear force of an atomic nucleus is a reaction in which electromagnetic force is transformed into strong force, and it can also be said to be the reverse reaction currently being studied.

Its strong force is mainly manifested in the conduction of active particles.

When the required environment is met, the field force changes (chaotic force field) caused by the active particle movement and external magnetic interference are the reasons for the reaction.

The research we are going to conduct now is the opposite in principle. It uses the chaotic force field caused by the nuclear fusion reaction itself to measure the signals related to electromagnetic force...

Zhang Shuo suddenly frowned, picked up a pen and paper to take notes, and then used the computer's auxiliary system to start calculating.

In the previous study of 'Experimental support for the correlation between electromagnetic and strong forces', several sets of corresponding solutions for strong and electromagnetic forces have been obtained.

Such unpacking is also one of the foundations of the experiment.

However, the specific experimental strength represented by the disintegration is still unknown up to now, mainly because the data of strong force measurement is still incomplete, and the representation of the strong force strength in the disintegration is just a simple data.

Because of this, we are cooperating with the artificial sun team in order to obtain more powerful relevant data.

Now if we do calculations again, we want to calculate a threshold range.

It is not just about the strength, but also the corresponding reaction strength. Ultimately, we hope to get a set of comparative threshold data.

Zhang Shuo did not ask anyone else to help him. He just kept doing the calculations by himself, and would work for several hours at a time.

Finally he completed the calculation and obtained two sets of threshold data.

He stared at the numbers.
"Sure enough, the deviation is very small, and the data can basically be said to be consistent."

"This means that the potential difference or magnetic field inside the reaction is stable overall and cannot be detected from the outside."

"So the experimental device is not completed."

"Adjustments must start from within!"

The result of a few hours of work was not only knowing how to modify the device, but also deducing the principles behind it.

This is much more rewarding than simply spending coins.

The '氪coin' on the experimental device only lets you know how to modify the device, but you don't understand why.

Now Zhang Shuo knows the reason.

……

The next morning, the large laboratory became bustling with activity.

Tang Hua and Song Baoguo both arrived early, and they were both looking forward to the experiments to be carried out.

However, they did not expect to complete the research, and neither of them was optimistic that the experiment would yield any results.

"This will be a long-term study, and the first experiment is also very important. We need to know how to do it."

This is Tang Hua’s opinion.

Song Baoguo also nodded and said, "It is indeed difficult. Even if the principle is correct, using the device to measure the electrical signal, it feels the same as the gravitational signal and the baryon CP signal."

"Many teams have detected gravitational signals only because Professor Zhang Shuo published a lot of information and guided them in the right direction. In addition, they also had a stable theoretical foundation."

Tang Hua also agreed with this point, saying that the correct direction is very important because Zhang Shuo's team has made the experimental results public.

Other teams all know that if they conduct experiments in this direction, they will definitely make discoveries.

With the support of this confidence, they continued to invest and innovate, and with a perfect theoretical foundation, they gradually detected the gravitational signal.

The current research is different. They are going to conduct a completely new experiment, which is to measure electrical signals through nuclear reactions and study the relationship between electromagnetic force and strong force.

From an academic perspective, strong force is much more difficult to understand than gravity because strong force is a purely microscopic force and has no macroscopic manifestations.

As for the strong conversion of electromagnetic force, we don’t know whether the theory is correct, and it is very difficult to make any discoveries in experiments.

"I'll still have to rely on you in the future!" Tang Hua said with emotion, "I'm the project leader now. In another month, I'll notify the higher-ups and you'll be in charge of the experiments."

Song Baoguo was delighted to hear this, but he still hurriedly said, "Academician Tang, we still have to rely on you for the experiment. You are experienced. As long as you are in the project team, we will have more confidence."

"You are the future. Young people are the future."

Tang Hua shook his head and said that he did feel lacking in energy and was ready to retire.

This research will definitely not yield any results.

Song Baoguo looked humble on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart because after Tang Hua retired, he would become the direct person in charge of the project team's experiments.

In future experimental results, if Zhang Shuo is first, then he will be second.

He is in charge of the experimental direction of the project team and is also responsible for management. He has even thought of changing the name of the project to "Fusion Electrical Signal Research Group".

By then, if he has some more achievements, he will become a top expert in the new field of research, and he can be elected as an academician...

Step by step. Reach the peak!

The future is so bright!

As the two were talking, Zhang Shuo also came to the laboratory. The first thing he said was, "The device needs to be modified."

Tang Hua and Song Baoguo were stunned when they heard this.

Zhang Shuo continued, "Add a component inside that is connected to the outside and can conduct electricity. I have completed the design. Take a look."

As he spoke, he opened the computer next to him, which already contained the modified part of the design drawings.

Tang Hua, Song Baoguo and others all looked over and discussed as they watched, "What is the principle behind this?"

“Why add such a component?”

"If it is a pure conductor, it will be very difficult. It may also affect the reaction and even all the data."

"If you just want to connect to the outside, you can also modify the central channel by adding a slice-like conductor under the insulation layer."

"The temperature inside is so high that even with insulation, the temperature will be so high that the resistance of any conductor will be very high."

"If the signal is not strong, it would be best to use a superconducting material, but in this environment, superconductivity is impossible. Should we use gold?"

"..."

A group of people started discussing.

The core point of their discussion was not the transformation itself, because Zhang Shuo had already proposed the transformation, so there was no need for discussion at all.

It mainly talks about what kind of materials to use, because the internal temperature is relatively high, even outside the heat layer, the temperature may exceed 1000 degrees Celsius. As the temperature rises, the resistance of the conductor will also increase significantly.

Finally they decided to use 'pure iron'.

The resistivity of alloy conductors is unstable at high temperatures, especially in a strong magnetic field environment, where the stability will be even worse, which will greatly affect the experimental data, so they are excluded first.

The resistivity of iron is relatively high, but its resistance does not increase significantly with rising temperature. At the same time, the melting point of iron is very high and it will not melt at 1000 degrees Celsius.

The resistivity of single-element conductors such as copper, aluminum, gold, and silver is indeed much lower, but they will melt or approach the melting point at 1000 degrees Celsius, resulting in a significant increase in resistivity.

After deciding on the renovation plan, Tang Hua walked to Zhang Shuo's side, thinking and asking, "Does this renovation mean that there might be a potential difference inside?"

Song Baoguo also followed.

Zhang Shuo said, "I did a detailed calculation yesterday and found that the conversion of electromagnetic force may not be effective overall."

"This is because the electromagnetic force threshold data corresponding to the overall conversion is stable."

Song Baoguo was completely confused after hearing this.

He didn't understand it at all.

Tang Hua frowned and tried for a long time to understand, but still didn't quite understand.

Xue Baikun said, "Director Zhang, what you mean is that because the strong force does not form a field, the corresponding electromagnetic force will not form a field, and the overall reaction conversion will not be measured."

"Correct!"

Zhang Shuo affirmed Xue Baikun's statement and nodded with satisfaction.

Song Baoguo asked in a low voice, "Why don't we try it out first? We have been preparing for a long time."

"No."

Zhang Shuo immediately shook his head and said, "There is no point in conducting experiments now. Let's just carry out the transformation. It will be completed in about a week. After a week, we will try to detect the electrical signal in one go!"

The last sentence was spoken powerfully, showing absolute confidence.

After Zhang Shuo left, Song Baoguo said in a daze, "Did I hear correctly? Professor Zhang Shuo said... can we detect the signal in one go? Is that possible?"

"Of course it's possible!"

Tang Hua suddenly became full of fighting spirit, completely free of the worries he had in the morning about approaching retirement. "Do you question Professor Zhang Shuo?"

"That's Zhang Shuo! He's a man who works miracles. I trust him 100%. All we have to do is to modify the device as required and then conduct experiments."

He was all smiles when he finished speaking. He looked in Zhang Shuo's direction with a bright light in his eyes. "Xiao Song, it looks like this research still depends on me!"

"Although I am about to retire, I will still use my remaining energy to help Professor Zhang Shuo reach a higher level in new physics!"

He patted Song Baoguo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future. The future belongs to the young!"

"..."

Song Baoguo suddenly realized that anyone doing experimental research hopes to get results in one go, but to get results so quickly... the project leader is Tang Hua!

He cannot wait another month. By then, he will be the project leader and his name will be listed only after Zhang Shuo when the results are published.

Zhang Shuo can be ignored, so he is the first contributor!

just now……

He is still the second one!
……

The small tokamak device was modified again.

Although the modification is not a big change, it involves internal changes, so the cover of the device needs to be opened.

This is also a big project.

However, the project team has strong support from their superiors. There are dozens of engineers in the experimental base and a series of supporting facilities are also very sufficient. After determining the transformation plan, the project team immediately began to make drastic changes.

Zhang Shuo also participated in the renovation work. He watched from the sidelines and explained the renovation requirements.

The most time-consuming process is still disassembly and installation. The inside of the device is absolutely sealed, and after disassembly and installation, a series of tests are required.

Although it only takes a week, in fact, after the transformation is completed, various tests need to be carried out again, which also takes a lot of time.

The transformation is to install an iron sheet with dense through holes on the central passage inside the reactor, which is connected to the outside and the circuit device.

A thick insulation layer must be added to the outer layer of the iron sheet, and the insulation layer cannot seal the sheet, so the technical requirements are still very high.

After the iron sheet is installed, a double-row channel is formed on both sides of the central passage, but because of the dense through holes, it has little impact on the reaction itself.

Ten days have passed.

The device transformation has been basically completed, and only the final inspection remains.

Zhang Shuo was looking at the data in the laboratory.

Xue Baikun suddenly ran in and shouted, "Director Zhang, new news from the Institute of High Energy Physics!"

"What?" Zhang Shuo looked over.

Xue Bokun explained, "The Institute of High Energy Physics and Fermilab have collaborated to conduct new discoveries in their chaotic force field research."

"During their experiment, they discovered an abnormal increase in heat energy. The experiment also caused a device failure, resulting in the penetration of two thermal insulation layers!"

"This new discovery has been published online. They say it may be a completely new physical phenomenon related to chaotic force fields."

Xue Baikun leaned in and whispered, "But I think, Director Zhang, is it possible that the nuclear force splitting of the atom occurred, or other reactions related to the strong force?"

Zhang Shuo frowned after hearing this. He thought carefully for a while, then said, "Contact Professor Yu Fei from the Institute of High Energy Physics and ask him for a copy of the experimental data!"
