Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Early October.

The base is a bit lively.

I saw the side of the construction site, several heavy trucks were parked there, and with the help of on-site construction personnel and lifting equipment, the unloading work was carefully carried out.

Standing next to Lu Zhou and watching the heavy equipment transported into the base, Xiao Le said with some emotion.

"This stuff was originally sold to iter, but now they probably won't buy it."

The device placed in front of the eyes of two people is the legendary icrf heating antenna.

This device consists of four parts: the transmitter, the transmission line, the impedance matcher, and the most critical heating antenna. The rf output energy can reach 3mw level, and the frequency can be adjusted between 30-110mhz.

As one of the key components on the fusion device, this thing can be said to be the second largest black technology in addition to the full superconducting d-section design of the Xiangyang Institute of Materials.

In addition to being purchased by General Atomic Energy, this hundreds of millions of equipment also received orders for the iter demonstration reactor project.

But now it seems that Europeans probably won't buy it.

After a pause, Xiao Le continued: "This equipment was originally intended to be dismantled and shipped to France, but our cooperation with them has been interrupted. With this gadget, we can quickly put the plasma inside the reactor. Heating to more than 100 million degrees, it can be said that this is one of the most advanced plasma heating technology in the world!"

Lu Zhou nodded and looked at the equipment with interest.

Although the name is icrf heating antenna, but compared to the antenna antenna he understands, how to look at this thing is more like an air conditioner that is magnified dozens of times.

The steel frame below the entire device is not much different in shape from the steel frame supported under the air conditioner. The protection limiter and current band protruding forward in the whole device are like the combination of the air filter and the fan blade.

Further to the back are tubular vacuum transmission lines, hydraulic drives, and critical vacuum feed ports.

In the experiment, the protective limiter as the "air-conditioning fan blade" is located at the foremost end of the icrf heating antenna, and together with the current band, constitutes a plasma heating component and a "Faraday shielding box", while heating the plasma. The plasma is isolated from the current band while preventing the electrostatic field from coupling into the plasma.

Since the plasma in the vacuum chamber is directly faced, 43 cooling pipes having an outer diameter of 10 mm are also welded thereon.

Although the whole device looks complicated and huge, it lacks some sci-fi aesthetics, but there is no design in the whole device is superfluous, and even each solder joint has been carefully designed.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to change these designs.

At this time, an old engineer with a hard hat and a gray coat came over and looked at Lu Zhou and smiled.

"How? Is this okay looking at it?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled and said: "It seems quite reliable, that is, I hope it will work normally on the imitation star."

The old engineer waved his hand: "You can rest assured that even if it doesn't work now, I promise to make it work."

The old gentleman standing in front of Lu Zhou, named Li Jiangang, an academician of the Huaguo Academy of Engineering, is also the vice president of the University of Science and Technology and the vice president of the Institute of Material Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although the old gentleman studied the ship's power, but in the end somehow halfway to study the plasma physics. Later, it caught up with the tide of major scientific projects in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The research on controllable fusion has been paid more and more attention in China. His academic career is regarded as the development of the historical process, and he has achieved the position of the vice president. Later, he was appraised as an academician.

Before China retired from iter, his identity was also one of the members of the China Expert Committee. The icrf heating antenna technology can be widely recognized internationally, and his credit is also indispensable.

As for now, Huaguo has retired from iter, and his identity has become a consultant to the National Fusion Energy Program Implementation Center. He is also responsible for coordinating the work of the Xiangyang Institute of Materials in the demonstration reactor project—that is, the entire demonstration reactor. Heating the parts.

At this moment, Xiao Le, standing next to Lu Zhou, is his student, and he is the one he recommended.

For this big cow's guarantee, Lu Zhou still believes.

"That will bother you, I will simply say a few requests."

Professor Li took out the book he was carrying with him and he did not talk nonsense.

"You said."

Lu Zhou nodded and recalled the details of the project that had been discussed in previous meetings for a while, said.

"In response to several different types of plasma in the discharge experiment of the star-like device, the heating antenna needs to be able to move in the radial direction, and the moving range is between minus 150 mm and 150 mm, and the adjustment precision is one millimeter. ?"

Professor Li did not think about it: "This is not a big problem."

Lu Zhou nodded and continued.

"The characteristic impedance requirements of natural vacuum feeders, transmission lines and other components meet the 50Ω design requirements, and the allowable voltage requirements for internal and external conductors are 45kv."

“Current band and Faraday shields all require the design of a separate cooling circuit and their cooling capacity is required to withstand thermal loads of the mw/m2 class.”

“Also, while considering the assembly and maintainability of the antenna, minimizing the welding position requires that the total leakage rate of the antenna be less than 10^-10pa·m^3/s.”

"..."

At the beginning, Li’s expression was quite relaxed. However, after listening to Lu Zhou’s cannon, he gradually lost his relaxed smile and only felt a tingling scalp.

Then I said a dozen requests in pieces and pieces. I felt that some thirsty Lu Zhou took the mineral water from Wang Peng’s hand and drank it. After throwing the plastic bottle back, I added it later. One sentence.

"...The basic situation is like this. I may say that it is a bit faster. I will wait until the evening meeting outline, and I will send you a more specific request."

After hearing this latter sentence, Li Jiangang stopped the pen in his hand.

Staring at the notebook in his hand for a while, his brows wrinkled for a while, and finally his face squeezed out a stubborn smile.

"...you will really give us a problem, and there is not so much for you in the engineering tendering conference of Europe."

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled and said: "After all, it is the first reactor. If you have a good start, you can do a good demonstration. I want to be as perfect as possible."

Although the system does not specify the specific “acceptance criteria” for the demo demonstration reactor, there is no doubt that the mission reward is directly proportional to the outcome. The more the demonstrations are built, the higher the mission rewards will be.

What's more, from a realistic point of view, the stronger the performance of the demonstration reactor, the smaller the resistance encountered during the technology promotion phase. From the perspective of a researcher, he also hopes that his research will be recognized by the country and the world.

Closing the notebook, Academician Li said: "Let's go, wait until tomorrow's things are finished, I will go back and do research and study, and give you the results in two days."

Lu Zhou nodded: "Well, please, please."

......

After the final work was arranged, the work of the star-2 demonstration reactor base has basically been put on the right track, both in the engineering scene and in the research institute.

The demonstration reactor is like a torch that illuminates the future of nuclear fusion research in the country.

Even without an impassioned mobilization speech, everyone working here has a strong sense of mission.

They are doing a great job.

Their research has been ahead of the world.

Up to now, under the leadership of the project leader, they have achieved countless stages of results, won numerous victories, and proved themselves countless times.

And, everyone has no doubt that as long as the chief designer of the land is there, they will continue to win until they cross the final finish line.

In such a work environment, it is difficult to generate negative emotions.

It can be said that even the chefs in the cafeteria are working with enthusiasm.

If you are optimistic, you can complete all the components years ago.

As for whether it is before New Year's Day or before the Spring Festival, it depends on luck.

For Lu Zhou himself, there are only two things that he needs to solve now.

One thing is to return to the Star Imitation Star Institute on the side of Zijin Mountain, and complete the final design of the liquid lithium neutron recovery system with the help of the star experimental reactor.

Others are so powerful, they can't delay themselves.

As the core component of the entire nuclear fusion reactor, it can be said that the design of this part directly determines the success or failure of the star-2 demonstration reactor project. If this part is completed, following the "plasma control technology", the second major difficulty of the controllable fusion of "stagnation" will also be overcome by him.

At the same time, this is also the last difficulty.

As for what unit to use to generate electricity, what device to use to heat, install "insurance" under the reactor ... and so on, these structures are only to determine whether the fruit of victory can be more perfect.

Another thing is to solve the problem of the super algorithm.

At present, the plasma control of the star experimental reactor is completed with the assistance of Xiao Ai.

When the demonstration pile is built, he can't get Xiao Ai to get to the main control computer of the demonstration reactor.

After all, no matter from which point of view, Xiao Ai is not suitable for people to show up in front of people, at least not right now.

Ideally, the algorithm associated with the plasma control scheme is separated from its main program.

If these two problems are solved, then the assembly of all the "puzzles" is completed.

The completion of the demonstration reactor is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou’s heart can’t help but have some fever.

Countless days and nights of effort.

This day is finally waiting for him to come.
