Chapter 318 Long-term planning
"Then I'd like to trouble you two to carry out the review in the ministry in the past few days. Less than, you can arrange the lives of the two professors; when the review results come out, we will discuss the next step of the experiment!" After getting the result, Tao
The director made arrangements according to the planned plan. After thanking the two professors again, he hurried to report to Qin Feng.⊙,
Professor Du and Professor Ke studied this information with full concentration; according to the classification list of subjects involved in nuclear fusion technology promulgated by the Nuclear Fusion Technology Symposium, it can be seen that currently the physics community believes that nuclear fusion technology is related to a total of eleven subjects.
There are close relationships, namely:
Experimental fusion equipment and ancillary facilities, plasma heating and current actuation, plasma engineering and control, diagnostics, data acquisition and remote participation, magnets and power supplies, plasma-facing components, vacuum chamber/intra-chamber engineering and remotely controlled robotic arms, fuel circulation and
Fuel regeneration layer, materials science, power plant safety and environment, socioeconomics, laser and accelerator technology.
Among these eleven subjects, three involve the study of plasma, which shows the importance of plasma to nuclear fusion technology.
This name may be unfamiliar to you, but if you change it to Baodao's translation of this term, plasma, you may feel that it is much more familiar. Plasma cannons and plasma guns are used as weapons in many science fiction works; the current physics field is creating nuclear fusion
The method is to find a way to heat the plasma in the superconducting tokamak system, compress the density of the nuclear fuel, and increase its temperature, thereby triggering nuclear fusion.
However, this method will cause a series of problems. The popular understanding of plasma is that it is a free and charged gas; the most critical one is the confinement of plasma. The fundamental reason for the difficulty of constraining plasma lies in its extremely high freedom.
energy, and once fusion occurs, new
Alpha particles (fusion energy that can be constrained) bring new and higher free energy, which will produce new instability and destroy constraints. This aspect is currently the hottest area of plasma research. Such high attention shows that there is a deep understanding of this issue.
Pay attention to and don’t understand. There is also the discharge of plasma
He ash in the body (alpha particle energy is reduced to he ash, which is similar to the ash left in a boiler. It cannot be burned unless it is discharged). Ash removal is to weaken the constraint. Make the he ash have a mass-charge energy ratio close to that of
Deuterium and tritium are easier to discharge, which is related to the pursuit of plasma
The high confinement of the body is exactly the opposite. That is to say, we must find an operating mode. The confinement must be good enough to maintain high temperature and high density of deuterium and tritium, but not so good that he ash can be effectively discharged. Therefore, the main task of fusion plasma is
It is to realize the restriction and control of plasma.
Of course, achieving controllable nuclear fusion is far more than just this issue. In addition to the issues of confinement and ignition mentioned before, there are also the supply of tritium, pollution caused by neutron radiation, etc., but if the plasma
The constraint problem can be solved, and mankind is undoubtedly one step closer to realizing controllable nuclear fusion.
Professor Du and Professor Ke have both been immersed in the field of plasma research for many years. They are familiar with the development status and difficulties and bottlenecks in this field. When they saw this breakthrough information, they were immediately immersed in it. Secretary Yu
After arranging drinks, snacks and other things, he quietly exited for a while to prepare the room where they would stay and prepare three daily meals.
"Three days!" Qin Feng said regretfully after receiving Director Tao's recovery. "Tomorrow I have another meeting that I have to attend, and the day after tomorrow I have to go to the counties and cities below to inspect the work. It seems that I won't have the chance this time.
I heard the results of the feedback immediately!”
"Don't worry, as soon as the results come out, I will call you as soon as possible!" Director Tao immediately promised. At the same time, he also expressed his difficulties, "But the results after three days are only theoretical.
, if you want to fully understand the value of this information, you still need to conduct experiments; you know, experiments in this field are quite expensive, and it cannot even be described as burning money. This is simply burning gold bars! So if the time comes,
It is determined that the data is valuable and needs to be tested and verified. I need your help in terms of funding!"
Although Qin Feng is only the secretary of Jiangnan Province, his ranking in the central government is not low. If he uses his influence, it will be of great help in obtaining funding for experiments.
"I have considered this issue before!" People who can sit in this position will not consider these issues. "According to my prediction, this data will definitely not be the last one. If every experiment is repeated,
Applying for funds is too inefficient, and we can’t afford to waste time! So my idea is to apply for a special fund to spend on related experiments, and then I can get the review and approval directly from your department!”
"But how to prepare this budget?" Director Tao said with a wry smile. He still doesn't know how much the next plasma experiment will cost, let alone when the future data will be available and it will be carried out at that time.
Thinking about what kind of experiments is a big question.
Qin Feng nodded when he heard this. Of course he knew these problems. This was only a problem in the theoretical verification stage. There would also be problems in the specific implementation stage in the later period. The funds required at that time were not at the same level as now!
"So we need to have a long-term plan. You should write a report first. I will find a time to talk to your minister later, and then report it to the higher-ups. This problem must be solved!"
"Now we don't even know where the information came from or what kind of information will be released in the future. How can we file this report?" Director Tao continued to complain, "If you can get the information provider to come forward, let me know about the follow-up information."
Plan, I can finally write something!"
Hey, why does it take more than a year for Lu Qiujian to return to China? Qin Feng sighed in his heart again. If he is willing to come back, his safety in the country can be guaranteed, and the problems mentioned by Director Tao will be logical.
solution, but now he obviously cannot come back to solve these problems.
"Leave it to me to solve this problem!" It seemed that he was the only one left to seek help from higher-ups, and Qin Feng decisively took over the responsibility.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!" Director Tao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He would never be able to handle this matter by himself. Seeing that the biggest problem had been solved, he talked about other things, "When are you going to talk to us?"
Meeting with the minister? The minister heard that you were coming and wanted to meet with you early, but he didn’t interrupt rashly because he didn’t know what you were thinking.”
"If it's convenient for him, then tonight?" Qin Feng said. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
