Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

This ultra-high-level summit, initially scheduled to be held in the capital of China,

It is expected to be held in March after the 28th Lunar New Year.

Many people say that this summit will change the pattern of the entire world and affect the direction of the next many years.

However, the excitement outside,

It didn't have much impact on Mo Dao at this moment.

But in view of the fact that the creation of this summit is directly related to the realization of controllable nuclear fusion,

The old leader also asked Mo Dao for some opinions on behalf of the superiors.

After referring to Mo Dao's opinions,

Although this meeting has not started yet, there is already a rough outcome.

In the end, it is inevitable that China and all parties will reach some cooperation.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology is a technology that needs to be rolled out on a large scale to fully realize its value.

Although it seems sensitive, it is actually still a civilian technology.

With the widespread spread of controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors,

Keeping confidentiality will become more and more difficult. This cannot be solved by strengthening confidentiality management.

From some repetitive and superficial things in the construction process of controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors, considerable content can be revealed.

At the same time, it is impossible for other parties to give up on research on controllable nuclear fusion, and will only increase their investment.

Now that it is known that controllable nuclear fusion can be achieved, the difficulty of developing controllable nuclear fusion technology has been greatly reduced.

It may still be impossible to achieve in ten or twenty years, but it is impossible to say in twenty or thirty years.

For China, taking advantage of this period of time to achieve all-round leadership is the best choice.

certainly,

Even if a cooperation is reached, it is impossible to reveal the core technology of controllable nuclear fusion at this stage.

At most, some consensus can be reached in the energy field.

…

In the outside world, Chinese people are enjoying the happiest Spring Festival in recent years, while other countries have different experiences.

As the chief engineer and person in charge of the demonstration reactor project, Mo Dao still has many things to deal with.

Although the demonstration reactor was successfully ignited, it has been continued.

However, the issue of deuterium proliferation requires further research, and if we continue on the road of controllable nuclear fusion technology, there will be no end in sight for a while.

In addition, there is the issue of commercial reactor construction.

One is the next issue of site selection for the construction of the first batch of commercial reactors in China.

The above gave Mo Dao a list based on the economic conditions, industrial base, and social conditions of each place.

It is hoped that he will eventually select ten cities from this list according to technical requirements as the locations for the first batch of commercial reactor construction.

According to the old leader’s words, ‘technical matters should still be decided by professionals, and Mr. Mo is the most authoritative expert in this field. ’

According to the plan after communicating with Mo Dao above,

It is expected that within five years, the coverage of controllable nuclear fusion power supply in all major and key cities in China will be completed.

Among these urban power supply sources, 80% of thermal power sources will be replaced, while hydropower will be temporarily retained.

Then, it is expected that within ten years, controllable nuclear fusion power supply coverage will be achieved in all large and medium-sized cities in China.

Ensure that most of the power sources in the entire power grid are controlled nuclear fusion.

Finally, within twenty years, the transformation from traditional thermal power to controllable nuclear fusion power generation will be completely completed.

Only some large hydropower stations and a small number of thermal power stations will be retained to ensure emergency needs.

At this moment, the construction of the first batch of commercial reactors can be regarded as the beginning of this huge project that will last for twenty years.

In addition, the size and coverage patterns of commercial stacks,

The final choice was one big and one small.

That is, each province will build a large-scale controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactor that is about one-third the size of the current demonstration reactor.

Ensure power supply to the provincial capital or core city, as well as to the surrounding areas of the provincial capital.

A few small ones are that, in addition to the core city and its surrounding areas, three to four other cities in the province share the model of two small fusion commercial reactors.

The redundancy of that large commercial reactor can temporarily guarantee power to other parts of the entire province in the event that other small fusion reactors are completely paralyzed.

Even if one of the two small fusion commercial reactors is paralyzed, it can also temporarily guarantee power supply for four cities.

That large commercial reactor was paralyzed, and the redundant supply of other small fusion reactors in the province was more than enough for the provincial capital.

Of course, this is still designed based on the fact that electricity consumption in various places will soar in the next twenty years.

Otherwise, this design margin would be a bit exaggerated based on current power consumption.

also,

In addition to the matter of site selection, there is another matter for which Mo Dao is also responsible.

The design process of previous demonstration reactors,

Basically, Mo Dao followed the turbulence model in his mind,

Each design team is assigned a design goal, and all theoretical teams conduct pre-research and design according to the scope of Mo Dao's requirements.

This does have an advantage.

The entire demonstration reactor project consists of all researchers from top to bottom, except Mo Dao.

They only know the situation of the part he and his team are responsible for. No one knows how the demonstration reactor as a whole achieves the ignition target.

However, the level of confidentiality has increased.

Even if someone takes away the overall design of the Suiren Demonstration Reactor,

You can only re-create the demonstration pile, there is no way to improve or adjust it.

But this means that Mo Dao must either come up with a design drawing of a standard commercial reactor based on the demonstration reactor.

Let the construction of the first and second batch of commercial reactors proceed in accordance with the design drawings.

Either quickly recruit two students, and the second person will also master the overall design of controllable nuclear fusion and the core turbulence theory and model.

Otherwise, he will be required to participate in all commercial reactor construction work in the future, which will cause him to die of exhaustion early in his life.

at present,

To select the first batch of commercial piles, Mo Dao circled a dozen suitable ones and handed them over for the final selection.

For the design of the standard commercial reactor, Mo Dao put forward some requirements to the theoretical design teams of the demonstration reactor.

Let each team complete the design according to his requirements.

With various technologies already implemented on the demonstration reactor,

This work is progressing very quickly, and there are no insurmountable hurdles for each theoretical design team. It proceeds very quickly.

It is expected that the sites for the first batch of commercial reactors have been selected above, and a preliminary construction plan can also be given here.

On the contrary, although the matter of taking care of students is also going on at the same time,

But the progress is not so optimistic.

Naturally, it's not because the chief engineer of the Suiren Demonstration Reactor can't recruit good students.

However, even if this person is a relatively core researcher in the theoretical team of the demonstration reactor project,

It is obviously difficult to quickly absorb the research results that Mo Dao spent a lifetime in his previous life.

"Teacher, I still don't understand something here."

The researcher who studied with Mo Dao was only a few years older than Mo Dao and was less than forty years old.

Being able to join the core theoretical team of the demonstration reactor project is enough to prove his genius.

But at this moment, I still have some doubts about life.

The researcher selected still has a background in turbulence research.

However, it is still quite difficult to understand the turbulence theory given by Mo Dao, which is several steps further than the current academic circles.

Even though Mo Dao had never been impatient in answering his questions,

But even as he continued to learn, he felt like a fool and suspected that he had no talent at all.

As a member of the core theory team, he also has a team under him and also teaches students.

He seemed to have some understanding at this moment. Those students like him could never understand the pain.
