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

Chapter 732 I have a psychological aversion to this kid.
Thinking about the funding issue, Xiao Chenghan sighed: "Even if it's just for fun, and you throw in billions, it's not something an ordinary person can afford to do."

"This kind of spending spree is too much for ordinary people, even for us."

Li Gang smiled.

It just goes to show that having money means you can do whatever you want.

They rely entirely on their own funds and refuse social financing.

However, Xu Qingzhou also has the resources: patents for superconducting thin films, lithium dendrites, and shuttle effect—three patent packages that are enough to bring the research institute hundreds of billions of yuan in revenue.

"Spherical tokamak"

Xiao Chenghan said in a deep voice, "No matter how you look at it, it's difficult to make a breakthrough. Of course, unless this kid comes up with some amazing technology that will shake the heavens and move the earth."

A small device that is quite well-known today.

The Spanish SMART device is reportedly preparing to study negative triangle design to guide plasma; Tsinghua University's SUNIST-2 boasts a 1T magnetic field strength; and the UK's MAST Upgrade is capable of achieving stable deuterium-tritium fusion reactions.

These are the most advanced spherical tokamaks currently available.

Yes, their device has some disruptive advantages, but it still lags behind traditional large tokamak devices.

The size and investment are what they are.

Comparing an experiment costing a few hundred million to a project costing billions or even tens of billions is just bullying.

"It's possible that Professor Xu cannot use common sense to deduce this."

Li Gang said helplessly.

Starting with mathematics, he made great strides, even solving the Millennium Problem, the Riemann Hypothesis.

Next up is superconducting thin films, which are far ahead of the competition.

Finally, there are lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect.

When this kid first started working on these two things, a significant number of scholars were skeptical, and many ridiculed him.

They believe Xu Qingzhou is just making empty promises.

The results of it.

This young man will make any industry he enters tremble.

The same is true in the field of controlled nuclear fusion. Two years ago, everyone was still struggling to make progress, but look at it now, the competition is incredibly fierce.

Northwest Shanxi is in complete chaos.

Xiao Chenghan wholeheartedly agreed. Looking out the window, he said with a touch of emotion, "Xu Qingzhou's name will surely appear in future history books. Perhaps, Xia will also have a scientific giant like Newton or Einstein."

Li Gang also laughed.

Xia Kingdom needs a scientist who transcends his era, but there is still a long way to go to reach the level Xiao Chenghan described.

Newton and Einstein reconstructed the basic framework for human understanding of the universe, and it is very difficult for modern people to achieve a breakthrough.

The two sipped their tea and sighed for a while. Li Gang thought for a moment and said, "Here's what we'll do. Go and make arrangements to give the joint team more testing time."

Of course, the institute has more than just thin film projects.

With limited testing time, in addition to simulating extreme working conditions, testing is also required during the operation of EAST and HT-7. Projects of all sizes are in the queue.

Simulations are ultimately just simulations; actual testing is still necessary.

The collaboration group wasn't initially a high priority, but it can now be raised.

First wall material
Li Gang squinted. If they really succeeded, it would solve another major problem in the field of nuclear fusion.

“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Xiao Chenghan nodded.

Although they don't actually hold the patent, there's no doubt that if they can really make nanoporous tungsten membranes, they will be the direct beneficiaries.

Currently, many countries are making significant moves in the field of fusion.

mid-December.

Xu Qingzhou's office welcomed a guest, Yang Fangxu, the chief technical engineer from the 11th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology of China.

"Academician Yang, please have a seat." Xu Qingzhou poured tea for Academician Yang Fangxu.

Yang Fangxu exclaimed, "I've heard so much about the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering. It truly lives up to its reputation. Just walking around inside, you can feel that it's a place for academic research."

"If you'd like to come, we'd absolutely love to welcome you," Xu Qingzhou said jokingly.

"Haha, I might consider it after I step down," Yang Fangxu said with a smile.

After drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yang Fangxu got straight to the point, "Professor Xu, I have finished reviewing the data from the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system you sent over. To be honest, I was quite surprised. Can we go and take a look at the system first?"

"Okay, please follow me."

Xu Qingzhou wasted no time and led Professor Yang Fangxu toward the testing center.

"Professor Xu."

"This is Academician Yang Fangxu."

When Wang Wei came up to greet him, Xu Qingzhou introduced him to him.

Professor Yang Fangxu was the first customer of the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system.

Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

After the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system was completed, he first spread the news within domestic circles. Sure enough, the very next day, Academician Yang contacted them, saying he wanted to come and take a look.

"The data is all here." Wang Wei pulled up all the detection data from the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system.

"it is good."

Yang Fangxu didn't exchange pleasantries with Xu Qingzhou and the others, and carefully checked the data.
Unlike the vague technical report I received a few days ago, the data here is quite complete, containing performance data from all the testing and detection systems.

half an hour.

"It's truly Tesla-level precision!"

Yang Fangxu said with a surprised tone and a complicated expression, "It's unbelievable. The United States has been researching quantum sensing magnetic fields for many years, and we have also been researching non-Tesla level detection systems, but we haven't made a breakthrough. I didn't expect you to have done it first."

When he first heard about the Kyoto Institute of Materials, he was still somewhat skeptical.

This thing is too difficult.

"Better luck."

Xu Qingzhou said modestly.

"You must have put in a lot of effort to develop this system."

In Yang Fangxu's mind, Xu Qingzhou and the others had probably spent a whole year researching this thing, expending all their energy on it.

"of course."

Xu Qingzhou nodded. Everyone had worked overtime for more than two months to get it done, and it had indeed taken a lot of effort.

He said helplessly, "This is because plasma configuration control requires a high-precision control system, so we just made it along the way."

"By the way."

Yang Fangxu's lips twitched. He had been working on this for years without any results, and now he was being told it was something he did on the spur of the moment?

I feel a little offended.

Wang Wei, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he heard their conversation.

If you knew this was done in two or three months, you would probably be even more surprised.

Let alone outsiders, even the staff members had a sudden realization.

That's freaking fast.

Spend money quickly, get results quickly.

As they often joked, "We've never fought such a rich war before."

Of course, the project's rapid progress is thanks to Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou was in charge of the entire plan.

Wang Wei couldn't help but sigh. In fact, not only this experiment, but almost all the key aspects of the previous experiments were personally promoted by Xu Qingzhou.

I used to hear a saying that our achievements today are not the result of any one person's efforts, but the result of everyone's hard work.

But the institute's current achievements are truly thanks to this young man.

“If we are on the 10th floor, then Junior Brother Xu is at least on the 100th floor.”

"An exponential crushing defeat."
