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

Chapter 744 We're Going to Develop Secretly, Shocking Everyone
October 4th, Sunday.

1 p.m., Institute of Materials Science.

"President Song."

Wang Sidong had just returned to his workstation after delivering some documents to the office when he saw a tall woman in a trench coat coming out of the elevator.

Song Yao asked, "Where is Xu Qingzhou?"

Wang Sidong reported: "Professor Xu just came out of the laboratory and should be resting now."

Song Yao nodded, picked up her lunchbox, and walked towards Xu Qingzhou's office. She pushed open the door and went in, but no one was inside.

She pursed her lips and went to the rest room, where she indeed saw Xu Qingzhou fast asleep. "That guy, I don't know how long he stayed up last night, he never listens, he always makes me worry."

She shook her head, gently closed the door, and turned to sit down at her desk.

Xu Qingzhou hadn't been home for quite some time, so she cooked some food for lunch and planned to bring it over to him.

She didn't just wait idly; she turned her office chair around, pulled out a book called "Classical Harmonious Analysis" from her desk, and began to read it slowly.

Time passes little by little.

2:10 p.m.

The young man yawned as he walked out of the lounge and saw the girl leaning back in her chair, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Well, here comes the questioning."

Xu Qingzhou had a bad feeling.

"woke up?"

Song Yao looked up at Xu Qingzhou.

He was sleepy-eyed, unshaven, and his hair was a mess; he exuded a tired aura.

"I woke up hungry and realized that I always smelled the aroma of food in my dreams. It turned out that my kind and beautiful teacher, Ms. Song, had brought me food."

Xu Qingzhou sat down at a table to the side with his lunchbox in hand and began to praise it.

"No need to make that face, it makes me look like I'm some kind of violent person."

"No way! You have to eat your fill before you get scolded."

"Ha, so you know you're wrong?"

Song Yao rested her chin on her hand, watching the young man who had already begun to wolf down his food.

Well, although Xu Qingzhou is now unkempt and slovenly, his overall demeanor is quite likable.

"Maybe it's the same idea that this guy enjoys seeing the so-called brokenness of himself when he's on his period?"

"A bit perverted."

Song Yao subtly shifted her gaze. "All done?"

"finished."

Xu Qingzhou sipped his soup. After three days of work, they finally completed the precise positioning of the magnet and the vacuum chamber, accurately embedding the superconducting magnet film into the annular groove of the vacuum chamber.

Furthermore, a quantum sensing monitoring system was deployed simultaneously, with diamond NV color center sensors pre-embedded in the inner wall of the vacuum chamber.

This morning, a joint test of the negative triangle was conducted, which will last for three days.

"Didn't you say it would be finished last night?"

Song Yao frowned.

This person called last night saying they were going home to rest for the weekend, but then sent a message this morning saying something came up unexpectedly. Helpless, she had no choice but to take on the role of a nanny.

"We developed several risk control plans, which took a lot of time."

Xu Qingzhou took a sip of the pork rib soup and immediately felt revived. Precise positioning of the magnet and vacuum chamber is the most crucial step in the entire integration and installation process. This involves not only the superconducting magnet but also the negatively guided plasma surrounding the vacuum chamber.

Negative triangular plasma, simply put, is a plasma configuration shaped by a magnetic field. The poloidal field coil system outside the vacuum chamber can adjust the current to form a negative triangular configuration.

Unlike traditional spherical tokamaks, their vacuum chamber design and coil layout are optimized around a negative triangle.

Simply put, it's somewhat similar to the formations in fantasy novels, where different patterns and the placement of spirit stones achieve different effects.

Of course, the difference is that the former is a literary imagination in a novel, an artistic expression of an energy model based on mysterious rules, which does not involve the physical essence, while the latter is a physical product of controlled nuclear fusion engineering, where the geometric configuration of high-temperature particles under magnetic field confinement can be monitored in real time by quantum sensors.

“I just ran into Professor Zhao, and he said there’s still a deviation in the magnetic field closure,” Song Yao said worriedly.

"Yes, but I've already thought of a solution: we can add an adjustable compensation coil to the part where the negative triangle is bent."

Xu Qingzhou grinned and reassured him, "Don't worry, there aren't any major obstacles at the moment. I know the equipment I installed myself, so its performance is definitely not a problem."

"So, can I go back to sleep tonight?"

"."

"I need to finalize the assembly plan for the first wall/divertor module with Zheng Xu tonight, so it might be a little late."

Xu Qingzhou said helplessly.

Everyone is working hard, so he, as the leader, can't just sleep all day.

Song Yao was helpless against Xu Qingzhou. She thought to herself that she knew this person was unreliable. Sometimes he could sit in a chair all day without moving, just to do experiments and data calculations.

They're the kind of people who never go to the toilet.

"To some extent, this also shows that this guy has good kidneys. Ugh, Song Yao, what are you thinking? This guy stays up all night every day, he should be disciplined. Even if it's for experiments, he can't take his health for granted."

The more guilty Song Yao felt, the more serious her expression would usually be.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to assist. Zheng Xu will be in charge of the main plan."

Seeing that Song Xiaohua's expression was calm, Xu Qingzhou still said, "I am aware of my own body, and I can't take on all the work."

Like Song Yao's Zero Point Technology, the person in charge of the research institute needs to be purposeful and targeted.

This is the only way to allow people below to fully utilize their initiative.

After all, he can't possibly handle everything on his own; he just needs to be responsible for the general direction.

"I'm not worried."

Song Yao rolled her eyes, but stubbornly continued, "The Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics just released the latest experimental results. China's Circulator-3 has achieved a breakthrough in fusion product at the level of 3×10 keV·s/m, reaching a core milestone in controlled nuclear fusion research. The high-temperature plasma is operating in steady state at 150 million degrees Celsius for 300 seconds."

The peak value of the triple product must meet the dual conditions of "high temperature + long duration".

As previously mentioned, fusion ignition requires a product of 3 × 10 keV·s/m.

"Oh? So fast?"

Xu Qingzhou was a little surprised. He straightened up, took the tablet from Song Yao's side, and opened it to search for related information.

According to a report in Renren Daily: For the first time on Earth, humanity has created a continuously burning "artificial sun".

At this rate of development, Circulator 3 will catch up with or even surpass the design goals of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).

The Southwest Institute of Nuclear Physics is a leading nuclear fusion research institution in China, and its strength is beyond doubt.

Xu Qingzhou was just surprised and didn't pay much attention to it.

It will develop slowly, and then shock everyone.

If Academician Li Gang had followed the previous technology and made further upgrades, he would most likely have been able to complete the challenge of triple product peak.
