Great Country Academician

The old man did not stay in Jinling for long.

After meeting Xu Chuan, chatting about the arrangement of controllable nuclear fusion technology, and inspecting the construction of the demonstration reactor project, he left.

Xu Chuan returned to the experimental reactor engineering base and continued to improve some core technologies in his hands.

Today, for controllable nuclear fusion, he has mastered enough puzzles, but there are still some core problems that have not been fully solved.

For example, the problem of tritium self-sustainability, although there is already a design plan, and the research institute is working overtime to improve it, but in fact, there is still no complete set of feasible solutions.

Tritium self-sustainability is also a systematic problem, from what material to choose as the target to withstand high-energy neutron beams, to the amount of tritium produced by the reaction of neutrons and lithium, to how to extract tritium elements, etc., are quite troublesome question.

Now those relatively common and simple problems already have the support of other controllable nuclear fusion research institutes, and the progress on his side cannot fall behind.

On the other side, Luyang, Science Island.

Chen Ming walked slowly into his office.

Since returning from Jinling, he has been running outside, even his assistant Mo Hongyun didn't know what he was doing.

Glancing at the extremely familiar office, Chen Mingji sat on the office chair and rested silently with his eyes closed.

After a long time passed, a long sigh came from the office.

"Hongyun, come to my office."

After closing his eyes and meditating for a long time, Chen Mingji finally got up, found the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

After a while, assistant Mo Hongyun hurried over.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

Chen Mingji nodded, and said, "There is something I need you to do."

"Director, please tell me." Mo Hongyun said respectfully.

"Send the batch of ICRF heating antennas that were originally sold to ITER to the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project." Chen Mingji said flatly.

Hearing this, Mo Hongyun was a little surprised immediately, and hurriedly said: "Director, that batch of equipment is the most important thing for us besides the EAST equipment. Send them over, this."

He knew what Chen Mingji was talking about.

That was the heating antenna made for the ITER demonstration reactor when Huaguo was still in ITER.

It is one of the two core black technologies in the Luyang Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project.

The other is the fully superconducting D-shaped cross-section design technology that has been used in EAST.

The original batch of equipment was going to be shipped to the ITER base in France, Europe in 2022. After an accident in ITER, they were forced to voluntarily withdraw from ITER, and these heating antennas were left on Science Island.

This batch of equipment can be said to be one of the most advanced plasma heating technologies in the world. It can raise the plasma temperature in the reactor chamber to more than 100 million degrees in a very short period of time, and its performance can be described as peak.

Not only that, the value of this batch of equipment is over 100 million.

And it is rice gold, converted into RMB, the total value is probably more than one billion.

Just give it to Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project? He was a little unwilling.

Chen Mingji waved his hand and said, "Send it there, it's useless to keep it in our hands. EAST is still far away from the demonstration reactor, and that thing was originally prepared for the demonstration reactor on the ITER side."

"Although Qixia is taking the route of a composite tokamak device, it is derived from the tokamak device in the final analysis. Those ICRF heating antennas can still be used after modification."

Mo Hongyun sighed, and asked without giving up: "Really?"

Chen Mingji nodded and said, "Go ahead, I have some other things to deal with, so I'll leave this to you."

Jinling, the Poxiao Experimental Reactor Engineering Base.

While Xu Chuan was busy with his work, people from the Luyang Science Island EAST project came here again and applied to see him.

It was Gao Hongming who sent the message, saying that there was something important.

Xu Chuan didn't think much about it, and met the visitors from Luyang in his office.

He was also a little curious about what people from Luyang were doing, after all, the handover had already been completed under the leadership of Chen Mingji.

In the office, Xu Chuan saw the person arranged by Luyang, a middle-aged and elderly man, about forty-five years old.

"Hello Academician Xu, I'm Yu Mu. I'm here to replace Academician Chen Mingji and the Luyang Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project to continue the cooperation with you."

Standing in front of Xu Chuan, Yu Mu was a little nervous and restrained.

Although he is much older than the one in front of him, sometimes, the aura is so wonderful.

Hearing Yu Mu's words, Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Where's Academician Chen?"

Yu Mu replied cautiously: "Academician Chen retired from the institute a few days ago, and he resigned from all his jobs. Now I will be the director of the Luyang Institute of Controllable Nuclear Fusion for the time being."

"retired?"

Hearing the news, Xu Chuan glanced at Yu Mu in surprise.

Chen Mingji will take the initiative to retire and resign from all jobs and positions. To be honest, he really did not expect this.

Strictly speaking, he and Luyang didn't have any big conflicts or festivals.

From the beginning to the end, he actually didn't do anything out of line, and he didn't do anything to offend the other party.

Although he established a controllable nuclear fusion project alone, he took away part of the funds invested in the controllable nuclear fusion project.

But it is a bit too much to say that other people are not allowed to independently engage in controllable nuclear fusion, but only under his command.

Moreover, there are so many controllable nuclear fusion research institutions in China, and there are quite a few whose funding does not go to Luyang for approval.

Yu Mu nodded and said, "Before leaving, Academician Chen told me to give you a gift."

"Gift? What gift?" Xu Chuan was slightly taken aback, and asked curiously.

"The ICRF heating antenna that was originally sold to the ITER demonstration reactor project has been shipped with me, and it is currently at the entrance of the research institute, waiting for you to receive it."

Yu Mu said, "I was supposed to visit you last week, but in order to ensure the normal delivery of the ICRF heating antenna, it was delayed for some time."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little surprised, and quickly said: "Have you arrived yet? Go, go out and have a look."

He still knows about the Luyang Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project.

Although today's EAST is far behind the Dawn fusion device in terms of the progress of the controllable nuclear fusion project, it is not without its own advantages.

Fully superconducting D-shaped section design technology, advanced ICRF heating antenna technology.

These two technologies are black technologies developed by Luyang.

Including the ICRF heating antenna technology used on the Dawn fusion device, in fact, the source also comes from EAST.

I have to say that the ICRF heating antenna specially designed for the ITER demonstration reactor project is a really precious gift.

PS: There is another chapter in the evening, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass in everyone's hands.
