I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

laboratory.

"Laser interferometer observations show irregular burrs or diffusion layers at the plasma boundary, indicating that the plasma boundary ambiguity exceeds the standard," Zhao Shengwen said helplessly.

Xu Qingzhou checked all the data on the computer and frowned: "The configuration control precision requirements for negative triangular plasma are extremely high, and the current data obviously does not meet the standards."

"There's no other way. People say you have to feel your way across the river, but we're working on negative triangular plasma, so we don't even have any stones to feel. We have to wade through it."

Zhao Shengwen smiled wryly; he was actually getting a little anxious.

Just a few days ago, the Princeton Maxwell team officially announced the completion of the superconducting thin film project, with a Jc value of 5.0×10 A/cm, on par with China's technology. It has been successfully used in the US National Ignition Facility (NIF) and is expected to achieve the world's first net energy gain soon.

In other words, the output energy is greater than the energy that triggers the reaction.

The Americans have caught up, but their plasma technology faces numerous challenges.

"As the first person to try something new, it's normal to make some mistakes."

Xu Qingzhou was in a good mood and checked the cross-sectional images of the electron microscope.

Traditional tokamaks have used an equilateral triangle configuration since the 1950s, while the negative triangle is only a theoretical concept. After 2010, spherical tokamaks, such as the British MAST, attempted the negative triangle, but failed to reach the fusion temperature.

The core issues of fusion energy are plasma stability and thermal management, and negative triangular plasmas have a significant advantage in this regard.

The problem is also obvious.

The technology is not mature, but the precision requirements of the equipment are ridiculously high. For example, the positioning error of the magnetic field coil is required to be less than 0.1mm, but the traditional requirement is only less than 1mm.

Material compatibility is also an issue; existing tungsten-copper alloy divertors have a 40% shorter lifespan under a negative triangle, meaning they would have to redesign the divertors.

According to calculations by Zero Point Technology, due to the need for an ultra-high precision magnet system and multiple redundant cooling units, the cost will be approximately 180% of that of a traditional tokamak, and maintenance costs will also increase by 50%.

Therefore, current large tokamak devices are still based on an equilateral triangle.

"I'll go back and think about it."

Half an hour later, Xu Qingzhou left with the data. He had some vague ideas about the precision of configuration control and needed to go back and organize them.

He's like a brick now; he can be moved wherever he's needed.

In the laboratory, watching Xu Qingzhou's departing figure, Gong Yunfei couldn't help but sigh, "Working with my junior always feels like being rubbed into the ground."

The gap is too big.

"I remembered something my teacher used to say a lot in high school."

Wang Wei agreed wholeheartedly, saying from the side, "It's unbelievable that a researcher could have such insights, like having the knowledge broken down and fed to them like that."

"What are you two babbling about? Get to work and analyze the peak value of A2."

Zhao Shengwen stared wide-eyed from the side. Actually, he also thought of a saying: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach." It was really a bit difficult to keep up with this kid's pace.

Chengdu, Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.

"I can smell the aroma of tea as soon as I enter. Old Meng, quickly bring me a cup of tea, I'm dying of thirst."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in and plopped down in a chair.

The man named Meng Jie asked with a smile, "Oh? What a rare guest! What brings Director Chen here?"

"Get materials."

Chen Yunhao sighed and took a couple of sips of tea. "Someone is planning to buy a house, and I was asked to make arrangements. That's why I came here to get the talent certification documents."

"Oh? The house? Whose residence is it that requires you, the director, to run around looking for it?"

Meng Jie was somewhat surprised and poured Chen Yunhao more tea. "Professor Xu."

"Professor Xu?" Meng Jie was taken aback, but quickly remembered which "Professor Xu" he was referring to, and asked in confusion, "Isn't Professor Xu in Kyoto? Is he preparing to come back?"

"I'm not coming back, but I'm planning to buy a house in Chengdu."

Just a few days ago, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao's parents were looking at houses. This news spread from their colleagues to the leaders of Xu Shouyun's workplace, and eventually to the higher-ups in Sichuan.

So he was called over and put in charge of liaising with Xu Qingzhou's parents, understanding their needs, and confirming their location.

Meng Jie smiled and said, "That's good news."

Buying a house means that you still have feelings for Chengdu and that you need it.

The leaders' biggest concern right now is that this Nobel laureate has already bought a house in Kyoto, and his research institute is also in Kyoto. He might move his household registration there sooner or later.

It is important to understand that Nobel laureates, as symbols of high-level talent, can significantly enhance a city's reputation by settling there, attracting more investment and talent, and thus having a considerable branding effect.

I've heard that when leaders attend meetings about talent, they tend to sit up straighter.

Nobel Prize? I'm from Chengdu.

Xu Qingzhou's decision to buy a house in Chengdu at least proves that he still has feelings for the city.

"Actually, Professor Xu's work is quite easy."

Chen Yunhao took a few sips of tea, relaxed, and said with a smile, "Look, my parents are here. No matter what, Chengdu is still my hometown."

He sighed, "You know, the most troublesome thing for us in talent recruitment is those scientists who are all alone. Even if their parents stay in China, it's just a matter of having some attachment. Those who don't want to go back still won't. Professor Xu is different; his parents are here, and his family is here too."

"Being in your mid-twenties and still single, especially since you're from Chengdu, means there are a lot more things to consider." Meng Jie could understand that.

"If that's the case, we'll have to straighten him out no matter what."

"Ahh~"

Xu Qingzhou sneezed as soon as he arrived at the office, and touched his nose. "Are my mom and dad talking about me?"

"You're overthinking it. Ever since I met Song Yao, I feel like I was just a freebie with a phone top-up."

He leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, put aside all other things, and began brainstorming, digging into his deepest memories to see if there were any usable techniques from his past life that could help him break the deadlock.

"Insufficient magnetic field precision."

Xu Qingzhou tapped his fingertip lightly, "The triangular configuration has strict requirements for the uniformity of the magnetic field, but we must detect it first. Therefore, perhaps we can first develop a detection system to grasp the magnetic field pattern, and then find a way to make adjustments."

"Hmm, it has great potential."

Traditional detection systems, such as flux loops and Hall effect probes, have magnetic field resolution on the order of millitalas (10 T), but these are clearly no longer sufficient to meet current requirements.

"And in all the detection systems..."

Xu Qingzhou's thoughts continued to wander, and he pulled out a manuscript from the side. "First, an optical-magnetic joint feedback control system, which can use an optical high-speed camera and a magnetic probe array. Second, a magnetic induction coil + integrator."

Half an hour later.

The manuscript already lists eight detection systems, along with related information.

The most suitable
Xu Qingzhou made himself a cup of coffee. His gaze darkened, and he circled the words "Quantum Sensing Magnetic Field Monitoring System".
