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

Chapter 734 We need to add fuel to the fire in the field of nuclear fusion.
There were also scholars at the scene who supported the use of quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring systems.

The 11th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology has already sent people there and signed a corresponding technical cooperation agreement, which can be considered as official endorsement.

The technical authenticity is definitely guaranteed.

As for the modifications, they require a lot of effort and success cannot be guaranteed.

Before seeing the results, who among those conducting experiments dares to say for sure that it will succeed?

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

If the system is shut down, it will be shut down. Once the technology is successfully verified, it will be an order of magnitude ahead of current conventional testing systems in terms of accuracy.

Chen Qiguang is one of them.

Seeing that the others remained silent, he continued, "Old Zhang, I think we might be able to send a working group over there first to make contact."

He had previously asked his old friend who worked at the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science.

The result was that the performance was indeed very good.

Based on his understanding of Ren Nan, the effectiveness of the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system is likely to be no less than, if not better.

On one side, Shao Yilin's eyes lit up. If they could visit Kyoto, perhaps they could try to make an offer.

However, Zhang Zhigao's next words dampened his excitement.

"Old Chen, as you know, our top priority right now is the fusion triple product experiment in six months. We don't have the time or energy to carry out large-scale upgrades to the detection system."

"From the head seat," Zhang Zhigao said in a deep voice.

Chen Qiguang could not refute this; in terms of the plan, their focus was indeed on advancing the next stage of the fusion triple product experiment.

At this point, someone else spoke up: "We have completed the upgrade of the superconducting magnet. As long as the installation is successful and the debugging is completed, we will be able to challenge the fusion triple product in May this year."

"Yes, the focus now should be on the experiment four months from now. If successful, we will be the first tokamak device in the country, and even the world, to complete the fusion three-product!"

"This is a technological leap forward; it would be a shame to miss out," said one supporter.

"There is a generational gap, but it may not be suitable for our equipment. We should focus on steady development."

Chen Qiguang did not say anything more.

He suddenly felt a little helpless.

I don't know if my initial choice was the right one.

Zhang Zhigao is skilled, but a bit arrogant.

Such people can facilitate the rapid completion of projects, but they can also easily lead to stagnation and complacency.

"That's settled then. Of course, we can't stand still when it comes to the precision of magnetic field control."

Zhang Zhigao looked at the middle-aged man to the side and said, "Old Liu, bring out that upgrade plan you mentioned before, have a meeting to study it, and improve the control accuracy of the monitoring system again."

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded.

After the meeting, Zhang Zhigao returned to his office, made tea, and relaxed.

"That old guy Li Gang has gone to great lengths to win over Xu Qingzhou."

I heard that the Institute of Plasma Physics has formed a joint experimental group with Xu Qingzhou's team to conduct research on the first wall material.

Instead of wasting time on these fancy things, they should focus on construction.

Xu Qing paid no attention to the Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics. These days, he mainly followed Zhao Shengwen's group to conduct research on the magnetic field closure and stability of negative triangular plasmas.

The quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system is very powerful, capable of providing real-time feedback and dynamically adjusting the magnetic field.

"Phew~ I've spent another two days in the lab."

At 6 p.m., Xu Qingzhou returned to his office, leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh, "I'm going to get a scolding from Teacher Song when I get back."

An AI computing center is already under construction and will be located northwest of the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science, next to the supercomputing center. All previous computer groups will be merged into the AI ​​computing center.

It will be led by an elderly professor named Li Jingyu, who will be responsible for supporting various projects in the future.

Four people came from Fudan University, one of whom was Heidi Mason, a star student of Michael Levitt.

There are no issues with his background; he has already obtained a green card from Xia Country.

"The competition is fierce."

Xu Qingzhou reviewed the current information regarding tokamak.

After receiving Xu Qingzhou's superconducting thin film, the superconducting magnet system of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) was 90% installed, and the first wall material passed 10 thermal shock tests.

The design will soon achieve a fusion power output of 500 megawatts by inputting 50 megawatts of heating power, i.e., energy gain Q≥10, to verify the feasibility of controlled nuclear fusion.

Currently, different research institutions around the world are using different technological approaches.

The technologies may differ, but the paths lead to the same goal.

Using the Lawson criterion as a unified standard, the pursuit of net energy gain Q>1 is essentially based on magnetic field confinement of high-temperature plasma; the only difference lies in the optimization path.

"Controlled nuclear fusion is extremely important."

Unlike traditional nuclear fission, which releases energy through the fission of radioactive elements such as uranium-235, and then converts it into steam through a water circulation system to drive a steam turbine to generate electricity.

Simply put, it's about boiling water.

However, nuclear fusion power generation can directly convert nuclear fusion into electrical energy.

This is why everyone says that nuclear fusion is one of the ways to ultimately solve the energy and environmental problems of human society and promote the sustainable development of human society.

It has even been called the ultimate energy source for humankind.

According to the plans released by ITER, it will be launched for the first time in 2025, and the deuterium-tritium fusion experiment will be completed in 2030. Large-scale commercialization is planned to be achieved around 2035.

Similar to the original scheduled time.

ITER was originally scheduled to launch in 2025, but due to manufacturing failures and rework, design flaws, out-of-control costs, and other reasons, it has been postponed to 2035.

"Fortunately, we had the foresight to develop superconducting thin films, lithium dendrites, and shuttle effects first; otherwise, how could we have survived?"

Take ITER for example. The initial budget was $50 billion, but the current cost has exceeded $220 billion. I heard that an additional 50 billion euros of investment is expected soon.

Leaving aside the Max Planck Society, they are focusing their efforts on improving the stable maintenance time of the triple product peak from the second level to the minute level.

Domestically, HL-2M and EAST are developing towards a triple product model.

Japan's JT-60SA, based on Princeton superconducting thin films, completed its first ignition in early January this year. The next goal is to explore the deuterium-helium-3 (D-He3) fusion pathway.

"Time waits for us not."

Xu Qingzhou rubbed his temples, feeling an even greater sense of urgency.

"The French SMART device also uses a negative triangle plasma design, but it doesn't seem to be progressing well."

Otherwise, they would have held a press conference long ago.

"The installation process must begin in April of this year, followed by the first ignition. The goal is to achieve a plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius and maintain it in a steady state for thousands of seconds."

How high is this goal?

EAST once held the world record of 1066 seconds.

In other words, both the initial ignition temperature and the duration of the initial ignition must be among the world's best.

It will be lively then.
