Great Country Academician

After uploading the paper to arxiv, Xu Chuan clicked on the webpage.

He knew that with his status in the academic world, any paper uploaded to arxiv would inevitably attract the attention of countless people.

He casually clicked on an international physics forum, and sure enough, just ten minutes later, the paper he uploaded to Arxiv had been reposted, causing quite a discussion.

[arxiv, look at arxiv! China is about to develop a miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactor! 】

[Impossible? Didn't they just realize controllable nuclear fusion technology in October last year? It's only been half a year. How could they have made a breakthrough in miniaturization? 】

[But the person who published the paper on arxiv is the father of controllable nuclear fusion. 】

[You mean that Professor Xu? 】

[Yes, he uploaded a paper "On the feasibility study report of Tokamak device in miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology" on arixv, and PRX also received his submission. 】

[Incredible, has China started to study this? 】

[Maybe it’s just a research direction? I read the paper, and it only provided a path for miniaturizing the tokamak device, and there was no actual data. 】

At the International Physics Forum, the popularity of related discussions is rising rapidly.

On the other side, in the United States, the first person to pay attention to this matter was the Alcatel C-Mod compact fusion reactor research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

When Xu Chuan uploaded the paper to the arxiv preprint website, the physics team that paid attention to this aspect quickly noticed the paper.

"Professor, I saw a paper on miniaturized and controllable nuclear fusion on arxiv!"

In the MIT Institute of Physics, an assistant professor hurriedly opened the door to his office, took a few breaths, and quickly printed out the paper in his hand, handing it over with the remaining warmth of the paper.

Behind the desk, Bradley Mandel raised his head, glanced at his assistant and said calmly: "Bruett, how many times have I told you that the papers you should read are those published in major top journals. The best of it, not the dross on arxiv that has not been peer-reviewed.”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Furthermore, it only took China half a year to realize controllable nuclear fusion technology. In such a short period, let alone miniaturization, even China itself may not have figured it out. This technology.”

Assistant Brut glanced at his boss. He knew that his professor and mentor did not like preprint websites like arxiv, but this time the author of the paper asked him to open this mouth.

Shrugging slightly, he continued: "But Professor, the author of this paper is Professor Xu, who solved the problem of controllable nuclear fusion technology. I think it should still be very valuable."

Hearing this, Bradley behind the desk was stunned for a moment, with a very surprised expression.

He must be aware of this famous name in academia. Even if his achievements in physics are currently not as good as mathematics, whether it is the NS equation or the Nobel Prize in Physics, it is enough for scholars in the physics community to remember him.

But, is it so fast?

Obviously he feels that the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion was just yesterday. Today, research on miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology has already begun. Is there even progress?

This person, doesn’t he take a break?

Normally, no matter whether it is a researcher or a scholar, after solving a super difficult problem, he will give himself a period of vacation, right?

It can take as long as half a year, and as short as two or three months.

But that person, doesn’t he take a holiday?

Unable to help swallowing, Bradley took a deep breath and took the newly printed paper from the hands of his assistant and student.

If it was Professor Xu's paper, even if it was posted on a junk website like arxiv, he would not miss it.

If selecting papers from arxiv is like digging for gold, then Professor Xu’s paper is itself a huge piece of gold.

It doesn't require you to carefully identify it among the many gravels. It just shines on the beach and everyone can see it.

Bradley picked up the black glasses from the desk, put them on and looked through them carefully.

Professor Xu, known as the "Father of Controlled Nuclear Fusion," wrote a paper on the research direction of miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion. It is undoubtedly a must-read for people in this field.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Brute waited for a long time but did not get an answer.

Finally, he got a little anxious from waiting and couldn't help but ask in a low voice. "Professor, can his ideas and theories be achieved?"

"I don't know." Bradley shook his head and continued: "I originally thought that even if controllable nuclear fusion technology is achieved, miniaturization will take at least ten years or even longer."

"But judging from this paper, it is obvious that Professor Xu already has enough ideas. And for him, once he has enough ideas for a certain problem, it is probably not difficult to solve the problem. "

"But I can't tell the specific time. After all, in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, we are far behind."

He breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the paper in his hand, closed his eyes and began to think.

If this paper was published by another scholar, he would probably just sneer at it and throw it directly into the trash can after reading it.

But if the author of the paper is Professor Xu, the situation is completely different.

Although theoretically speaking, the difficulty of miniaturizing a controllable nuclear fusion reactor is no less difficult than solving controllable nuclear fusion technology, and it can even be said to be higher in some aspects.

But in the case of the one who has already created countless miracles, there may be hope.

However, if miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology is really realized, the shock will probably be higher than that of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Perhaps this shock is nothing to ordinary people, but for governments of various countries, this is definitely not good news.

After all, there are so many applications for miniaturized fusion reactors.

It is not like large fusion reactors that can only be used for civilian power generation. Miniaturized fusion reactors can be loaded on various equipment, such as aircraft carriers, submarines, and even military equipment such as large bombers.

"Professor. Professor"

Just as he was thinking about it, Bradley suddenly heard the voice of his assistant and student. He opened his eyes and looked over questioningly: "What's wrong?"

Brut swallowed his saliva and said, "Professor, judging from Professor Xu's paper, his research direction still seems to be the miniaturization of tokamak devices."

"Is there any problem?" Bradley asked: "China's route to achieve controllable nuclear fusion technology is the tokamak device. Isn't it normal to continue research on this? After all, this is a truly mature technology. "

Brute shook his head and said: "No, that's not what I meant. What I mean is, if that's the case, is there any chance that the 'Alcatel C-Mod Compact Fusion Reactor' that we stopped operating before can be restarted?"

"After all, we have a natural advantage in this regard. It used to be the fusion reactor with the strongest magnetic field and the highest plasma pressure among all fusion reactors in the world!"

"Maybe we are lagging behind in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, but in terms of miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion technology, do we have a chance to take the lead?"

Hearing the student's words, Bradley couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

Maybe they really have a chance?

After thinking for a while, Bradley quickly said: "Bruett, prepare a PPT copy for me. The content is what you said. Give it to me before tomorrow morning, and I will communicate with the energy management! "

"If Alcatel C-Mod can be restarted, we will definitely be in the lead!"

PS: There will be a chapter later, before two o'clock.

Another note: It will be doubled soon. Everyone please vote for the monthly ticket. Thank you, Yawei.
