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

Chapter 736 We must give full play to the spirit of daring to be the first.
"Do we still need spies?"

Song Yao held her bowl and drank her soup, saying irritably, "In all the group chats at your research institute, people are saying you've stayed up all night again. They admire your perseverance."

"When did you infiltrate?" Xu Qingzhou asked in surprise. He knew that the research institute had many small groups in private, such as self-service takeout groups and scientist alliances.

Oh, by the way, what kind of CP (couple) groups does his little assistant Wang Sidong have?

"That's not the point," Song Yao said, pouting.

Xu Qingzhou didn't dwell on the group chat and innocently said, "Everyone is working overtime, and as a leader, I have to lead by example."

"You don't have to stay up all day, do you?"

"Okay, I'll definitely make sure to get enough rest from now on."

Xu Qingzhou made a guarantee.

“I understand you’re busy, and the heavy responsibility of the research institute rests on your shoulders, but health is the most important thing. What will you do if you ruin your health?”

Song Yao started muttering to herself.

Staying up late is very harmful to your health. Obesity, liver problems, sudden death, and many other issues are related to staying up late.

This guy doesn't care about his body at all.

Song Yao's resentment deepened.

Seeing the girl's nagging, Xu Qingzhou shoveled at his food and couldn't help but laugh.

Originally a quiet and aloof girl, she became inexplicably adorable as she talked on and on about these trivial matters.

"Xu Qingzhou!"

Song Yao was furious. She was worrying about everything, and this guy could still laugh.

"very funny?"

"I just think Teacher Song is so cute."

"."

Song Yao was completely exasperated and didn't bother with this person. After eating a few bites of food, she asked, "Have you finished what you were doing?"

"Yes, we just resolved the coil installation error issue for the plasma this afternoon."

Xu Qingzhou said, picking at his food.

After eating in the school cafeteria for several days in a row, the dishes made by Song, the school beauty, taste especially delicious.

"Quantum sensing can basically achieve real-time feedback; the AI ​​control part needs improvement. Professor Li Jingyu is personally in charge, and it won't be long before it's resolved."

What about the issue of enhanced magnetohydrodynamic stability?

"We plan to design an inverse field configuration and actively inject impurities."

"The house in Chengdu has been secured."

"Is it the one you sent me?"

"Correct."

The house is 220 square meters.

It faces the Jinjiang River perfectly, and the scenery is quite nice.

Xu Shouyun, Song Shisong, and others have all visited the place and praised it highly.

The total price was 900 million, but the Nobel laureate gave a discount of 400 million, so Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao ultimately paid more than 500 million.

The two of them chatted idly.

After finishing his meal, Xu Qingzhou volunteered to wash the dishes. Ten minutes later, he came out of the kitchen, wiping his hands.

He sat down, and the girl shifted her position to lean closer to him.

Song Yao sniffed and took a breath. The faint scent of laundry detergent on her sweater mingled with Xu Qingzhou's distinctive masculine odor, but to avoid being called a pervert by Xu Qingzhou, she still said with disgust, "You stink! Haven't you showered in days?"

"I think you seemed quite pleased with what you smelled just now." Xu Qingzhou was speechless, suspecting that Song Yao was just trying to take the initiative.

"Go take a shower right now." Song Yao glared at her.

Xu Qingzhou spread his hands and wasted no time, going upstairs to get clean clothes.

Professor Xiao Chenghan arrived in a hurry, obtained the relevant materials at the institute, and then left in a hurry. Upon returning to the Institute of Plasma Physics, he immediately convened a meeting.

The seminar room.

"Alright, that concludes the discussion on the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system. Everyone is welcome to share their opinions on whether or not to introduce this technology."

Xiao Chenghan returned to his position.

"To be frank, the monitoring system that Professor Xu and his team developed is very advanced, a whole generation ahead of the existing systems."

A thin, middle-aged man tapped the pen in his hand and continued, "However, the system's compatibility is also a problem. The fully superconducting magnet system has been finalized. Adding new sensors would require modifying the Dewar structure, which could damage the cryogenic liquid helium environment of the superconducting coils."

"Besides that, there is another big problem. When Professor Xiao mentioned it, I did a preliminary calculation and found that if we were to introduce this technology, we would need at least three months of modification time."

One researcher continued.

"One month."

"That's right, even if everything goes smoothly, it will still take 3 months."

"There are too many uncertainties."

One person said with concern, "As far as I know, the Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics is scheduled to conduct a fusion triplet experiment in May of this year."

“Once we shut down for upgrades and equipment modifications, we will inevitably fall far behind.”

The two companies are now competitors.

The good technology is there, and everyone wants to upgrade, but time waits for no one.

Three months is the ideal scenario. If something goes wrong and it drags on for half a year or even longer, they will completely lose their advantage.

In the near future, there will likely only be one demonstration reactor.

Losing control of the demonstration reactor in order to upgrade a monitoring system would be a losing proposition.

"Yes, from the data, there is nothing to question about the performance, but we are now prioritizing physical objectives, such as the fusion triple product, rather than pursuing ultimate precision."

“We still need to take a long-term approach. We can first verify the reliability on a small tokamak device to prove that it can operate continuously without failure,” someone said.

A professor from the superconducting magnet group said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, we are the world's first non-circular cross-section fully superconducting tokamak. Our core mission is to explore long-pulse steady-state operation. This femtotes-level magnetic field monitoring can solve the problem of magnetic surface tearing at the plasma boundary and directly support the experimental objectives at the kilometer level."

"That's right. We still have blind spots in plasma tear mode early warning and divertor hot spot localization. Even if it's not a problem now, the drawbacks will become apparent sooner or later as the operating power increases."

"We need to take a long-term view and not just focus on short-term gains."

"I've reviewed this system, and it's highly mature. I don't think there will be any unforeseen changes. Everyone, we have a technology that's a generation ahead of our time right in front of us. Are we just going to give up like this?"

"What if... what if we upgraded the traditional magnetic probe technology like the Southwestern Institute of Nuclear Physics did?"

"No, if we're going to make changes, we have to make them thorough."

"."

Inside the seminar room, it was difficult for the heads of various departments to reach a consensus.

"Academician Li, why don't you make a decision?"

Professor Xiao Chenghan looked at Li Gang.

Everyone else fell silent, turning to look at Li Gang, awaiting his decision.

"Comrades, when the leaders came to inspect, they repeatedly emphasized the urgency of tackling key core technologies, and asked us to strengthen our efforts in tackling key core technologies and increase our efforts in technological transformation and product upgrading."

"I think that in science, every path should be explored. My idea is to shut down and upgrade. The field of fusion is developing rapidly. In two or three years, it will basically be devices of the same type and level competing with each other."

"As a key national project, we should give full play to the spirit of daring to be the first."
