Great Power Technology

Not only Liao Guoxing's family, but also under the operation of the Cross-Strait Business Association, a large number of South Island people decisively embraced the association after comparing the differences between churches and associations.

They may not necessarily change their beliefs in a short time, but at least they no longer reject a unified future.

This progress made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the biggest obstacle to cross-strait reunification has never been military, policy, or diplomatic matters, but the difference in cultural identity.

If the problem of identity cannot be fundamentally solved, then even if it is forced, there will be no useful progress in subsequent governance.

Hong Kong City is a typical example. Its problems should not reoccur a second time.

It is precisely with this issue in mind that the official will still use peaceful means to promote the reunification process even after the ugly country has fully shrunk.

As for the so-called leaving no land but no people?

It's okay to joke and scare the other party. A huge country with thousands of years of civilization would never be able to do such a thing.

Now, changes in the cultural field are already unfolding like a whirlwind. We only need to wait quietly for the time to mature, and then make the final push, and the subsequent strategies will proceed smoothly.

…

While the situation in South Island is rapidly changing, Ye Zhou and Qian Lixun are checking the latest progress of fiber lasers at the Chengdu High Energy Laser Institute.

According to Ye Zhou's technical design, this laser generator uses multi-module recheck grating synthesis technology. Among them, there are already solutions for coherent pulse stacking, spatial beam combining and other technologies that affect laser energy. However, this does not mean that as long as If this plan is implemented, the power of the fiber laser will be able to achieve the goals set by everyone.

"...So, photon dimming is still a major problem."

"Based on the previous detection results, we output a typical photon darkening process diagram of fiber laser. It can be seen that as the laser light emission time increases, the output power gradually decreases and finally stabilizes."

"The power drops by more than 20% after such a long period of light emission. Therefore, our fiber laser needs to retain a certain power redundancy to offset the power drop caused by photon dimming."

"For 'Xihe No. 1', our target power is all rated, and we do not plan to use a modular integration solution for the first application. Such a 20% power loss will have a great impact."

After listening to Ye Zhou's introduction, Qian Lixun nodded slightly, and then answered:

"The problem of photon darkening must be solved. Our current solution is basically to change the fiber doping components. Solutions including aluminum, phosphorus, and cerium have made some progress, but the effect is still limited."

"We have submitted the project report to Sanchi Research Institute - you built this research institute - they are now developing AICE-SC30 master alloy, which can further improve the use of aluminum and cerium metals in optical fibers. The photon dimming weakening effect.”

"Next month at the latest, they will provide us with laboratory synthetic materials for testing. If the power attenuation can be reduced to less than 5%, we can basically think that the problem of photon dimming has been solved."

Ye Zhou listened to Qian Lixun's answer while fiddling with half of the optical fiber in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he answered:

"I have also heard about the AICE-SC30 direction from the research institute. It is a relatively good direction at present, but it can only cope with our current purely experimental fusion projects. If we want to further realize practical fusion , the problem of materials still needs to be solved as a core issue.”

"Now the second quantum computer on the Kunlun Mountains has begun experiments. If this Liubi-2 runs stably, then the direction of the next computer should be a general direction - at least a multi-purpose special direction."

"My current suggestions are to focus on two special directions: calculation of crystal defects in complex heterogeneous materials and simulation of protein synthesis processes. If the progress can catch up, maybe we can push the three-foot laboratory to come up with more advanced ones. Here comes the material.”

Qian Lixun sighed, smiled and said:

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Anyway, the depth and breadth of your generation's vision are much stronger than those of us who specialize in one technology."

"However, this is also a long-term work. In the short term, we still aim to achieve effective fusion."

"Of course."

Ye Zhou heard the meaning in Qian Lixun's tone. The other party was obviously worried that he was too ambitious and pursued technologies that could be achieved in one step, which would slow down the progress of the Shenguang 5 project.

However, this worry does not exist for Ye Zhou. He knows better than anyone else that a technological breakthrough requires the cooperation of many industries and fields of technology to achieve, and it is meaningless to pursue a single breakthrough.

This is like throwing the answers to college entrance examination questions in front of kindergarten children. Even if the answers are written clearly, they may not be able to copy them correctly because they know too few characters.

After a pause, Ye Zhou continued to ask:

"In addition to photon dimming, we are not able to solve the TMI problem so smoothly now."

"If it is a conventional fiber laser, we can solve this problem through bidirectional pumping, but Xihe-1's technology involves composite gratings and coherent pulse stacking, and bidirectional pumping is more difficult."

"This is still a manual job, mainly relying on material debugging and process debugging."

Qian Lixun hummed and replied:

"The problem of TIM is mainly the nonlinear coupling problem between the signal light fundamental mode and the higher-order mode. If there is a breakthrough in material research and development at Sanchi Research Institute, such as completely solving the thermo-optical effect in the channel, this problem can be easily solved. .”

"However, at this stage, we still have to work hard."

"Yes, no matter how advanced the technology is, there is no way to skip this stage of exerting effort."

After putting down the optical fiber in his hand, Ye Zhou followed Qian Lixun back to the office specially set up for them by the Laser Institute. Under Chen Hao'er's influence, he also began to learn how to seduce the two of them after entering the room. After taking a sip of tea, he sat on the sofa and started talking about business.

"Mr. Qian, what do you think of international project cooperation applications?"

Ye Zhou didn't beat around the bush at all, but directly pulled out the materials from under the table and handed them to Qian Lixun.

Just three days ago, he received this document that brought together cooperation applications from many international research institutions. The names of the above institutions once represented the world's most powerful technologies in the field of nuclear fusion and lasers, but now, after learning After the launch of the Xihe project and the Shenguang-5 project, they sent sincere requests for cooperation to China.

Seeing the long list of names, Ye Zhou couldn't help but have an old saying that was not so appropriate, but very appropriate:

When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.

Not only these two projects, but in fact, this situation is constantly happening in many basic and non-confidential scientific research projects currently carried out by China.

The person in charge of those projects is often like a scumbag, picking and choosing among many cooperation partners, finally selecting one or a few reliable institutions, and then squeezing them all dry.

——

Squeeze money and resources dry.

After hearing Ye Zhou's question, Qian Lixun was silent for a moment and then answered:

"To be honest, from an emotional point of view, I don't want such a major project to be introduced to other research institutions. On the one hand, I don't want to share good things with them, and on the other hand, I am worried that they will learn more technology than us."

"But from a rational point of view, cooperation in basic scientific research is a major trend, and we can also gain more useful experience from these cooperation."

"For example, the current Nantianmen project is a good example. Our extremely limited cooperation with Mao Xiong has greatly improved the efficiency of the project."

"So, my suggestion is that we can have limited theoretical cooperation, but continue to remain exclusive in key materials and process areas."

After listening to Qian Lixun's opinion, Ye Zhou nodded solemnly.

Like the other party, I have always been cautious about international cooperation on such projects, because the leakage of any key link may lead to technological measures, especially this kind of technology that may change the entire world. .

However, the huge consumption of resources forces them to consider cooperation, because even a system like China's that "concentrates efforts on big things" can objectively find it difficult to support such consumption.

Therefore, cooperation - or in other words, blood-sucking, is the best choice.

As for how to ensure that the blood-sucking process will not be backfired by the blood pack...

Then you have to rely on the six-node computer, No. 003 aircraft carrier, space-based laser weapons, and Dongfeng 41.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou made a decisive decision.

"Then report to the superior leaders and open up international cooperation."

"However, we still need to further discuss the methods of international cooperation."

"Now that our global strategy has been launched, it is time to bring some people on board through one or two such projects."

"However, if they want to board the ship, I have to ask them to pay the full ticket first."
