Early the next morning, inside the Ark Academy of Sciences.
In the central building, Xu Zhou independently occupies the research room on the first floor.
Xu Zhou, Liu Zhongmin, Zhou Guofu and Zhang from the security department who were called over put on white coats and sat together. Everyone looked at Xu Zhou.
"Dean Xu, the dean asked us to come here to make things mysterious. What on earth are we studying?"
Zhou Guofu couldn't bear his temper and asked Xu Zhou straight to the point.
Xu Zhou glanced at Liu Zhongmin, and then saw Liu Zhongmin smiling and saying:
"It's best not to keep this secret."
Xu Zhou was a little dumbfounded, but he also admired Liu Zhongmin's professionalism.
"It's like this. I'm currently working on overcoming a problem and I need everyone's help. If this problem is successfully overcome, basically the Dragon Kingdom and the world will not need to worry about energy in the future."
Zhou Guofu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Zhang An on the side take a breath.
The young man's reaction was to hurry up. He immediately made a guess based on the few words Liu Zhongmin said in the morning.
"Controllable nuclear fusion?"
Xu Zhou nodded, and was a little surprised that Zhang An responded so quickly.
"Fuck!"
Zhou Guofu immediately cursed and everyone was dumbfounded.
"What the hell? Controlled nuclear fusion?"
He pointed at himself and looked at everyone again, and said with some uncertainty:
"Just a few of us? Want to conquer controllable nuclear fusion?"
At this time, Liu Zhongmin gently knocked down the table.
"Okay, you still don't know what kind of temper Xiao Xu is? You won't talk about things you're not sure about. At least the theoretical stage has been completed for now."
Zhou Guofu and Zhang An were even more shocked this time, and looked at Xu Zhou with a gasp.
With a look of disbelief on his face he said:
"You completed the theory by yourself?"
Xu Zhou smiled:
"That's it for now. Later we will experiment and demonstrate at the same time. If there are mistakes, we will continue to correct them. If there are no mistakes, we will continue to follow my plan."
The two of them were convinced now. Zhang An thought for a while, he himself happened to be studying this aspect recently.
He immediately wondered:
"Dean Xu, it's not that we don't trust you. As far as I know, there are problems with the bearing materials for nuclear fusion. We..."
At this time, Xu Zhou smiled and took out a whiteboard, then picked up a pen and started writing on the whiteboard.
Soon, clear and clear formulas appeared on the whiteboard.
Xu Zhou didn't speak and continued to write, line by line. The pen in his hand was like a printer, constantly spitting out these obscure formulas.
Liu Zhongmin, Zhou Guofu and Zhang An all held their breaths. Their pupils dilated and they continued to make inferences following the formulas written by Xu Zhou.
But they soon discovered in despair that the reasoning speed of their heads could not match Xu Zhou's writing speed!
"Damn it, how on earth does this kid's head grow!"
"Dean, it seems like there is no material we are familiar with here anymore!"
Liu Zhongmin was shocked when he heard this.
Then he looked at where Zhang An was pointing and took a closer look.
Then his breathing became rapid.
Although he is not the best in materials science, it does not affect his judgment on the emergence of new material formulas!
"This...this is really a brand new material!"
At this time, Xu Zhou had almost finished writing. He threw the black pen aside and said:
"That's right, a brand new material, it can solve the problem of carrying controllable nuclear fusion!"
Liu Zhongmin looked at the formula on the whiteboard with some disbelief.
Controllable nuclear fusion is actually a reaction that the sun is carrying out all the time.
If humans want to complete an artificial sun, they must first be able to simulate the environment during solar fusion.
That is ultra-high pressure, which is the super strong gravity of the sun!
It is obvious that this is impossible to accomplish on earth for the time being, so we can only change our thinking and enable ultra-high temperature!
Because the pressure is not enough, the temperature can only be increased.
The temperature required to achieve nuclear fusion must be at least hundreds of millions of degrees. Under such circumstances, what materials can be used to carry it?
All currently known materials will not work.
And now Xu Zhou has come up with a brand new materials science formula, telling everyone that this can carry controllable nuclear fusion!
Crazy, crazy! Liu Zongmin felt like he was going crazy!
Zhang An also stared blankly at the formula in front of him, feeling lost.
"Can this really handle the hundreds of millions of high temperatures required for nuclear fusion?"
Xu Zhou nodded confidently and said:
"It's not a big problem. With the use of a stellarator and a controllable nuclear fusion, an artificial sun can appear in front of us!"
Then Xu Zhou looked at the crowd and said:
"Although I am very confident, for the sake of rigor, I still hope that everyone can help me with the verification process as soon as possible. I need exact results!"
Zhang An and Zhou Guofu are now in admiration.
Controlled nuclear fusion has not started long ago, and we have just witnessed the birth of a brand new material.
How crazy and shocking this is!
"Leave it to us! I'll give us two days... no, one day!"
But Zhou Guofu interrupted:
"What time is it in a day? Let's work overtime quickly and try to get you the results tonight!"
Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Then thank you for your hard work."
Only Xu Zhou did not continue to instill new knowledge with the three of them. After all, everything had to be done step by step. The first step was to solve the material problem before talking about other things.
Otherwise it's all just talk.
In this way, Liu Zhongmin once again called several top academicians of materials science in Longke Academy, and then a group of people conducted inappropriate deductions and arguments on the whiteboard written by Xu Zhou.
For the sake of rigor, several people even conducted five rounds of verifications to confirm that there was no disclosure before handing it over to Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou was not idle either. He directly made the drawings of the nuclear fusion reactor.
Xu Zhou took the verification result from Liu Zhongmin's hand and opened it and read it over.
"Fortunately, with your verification, at least it proves that the material problem has been solved."
Liu Zhongmin nodded and smiled:
"Time is tight. I have told the Dragon Academy to seize the time to experiment with new materials and strive to produce finished products as soon as possible."
Xu Zhou nodded, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Dean, please take another look at this."
Liu Zhongmin took the document, and Zhou Guofu and Zhang An behind him couldn't help but came up curiously.
"What's this?"
Zhang An adjusted his glasses, and then blurted out:
"This is the design drawing of a nuclear fusion reactor!"
Xu Zhou nodded.
"That's right."
"That's not right! This reactor...why isn't it a Tokmak device?"
Zhang An's question immediately raised the concerns of Liu Zhongmin and Zhou Guofu.
Xu Zhou smiled extremely calmly.
"The limitations of the Tokmak device are too great. You don't know it yet, but in a few years, everyone will find that the time limit of the Tokmak device will become the biggest obstacle."
"Controllable nuclear fusion mainly depends on a controllable stability. If the stabilization time is not enough, everything else is nonsense."
Liu Zhongmin's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this.
"Xiao Xu, are you saying that the nuclear fusion researched by various countries around the world for so many years has been in the wrong direction?"
Xu Zhou knew that what he said was a bit cruel, but having mastered all the techniques, he was already sure that it was wrong.
At least it's not the simplest and most effective one. There are simpler and more convenient methods. Isn't it wrong to compare them?
Seeing Xu Zhou nodding, Liu Zhongmin and Zhang An looked at each other and felt shocked and sad.
After decades of hard work, it turns out that everyone has chosen the wrong path!
No wonder, no wonder, for so many years, no research teams from the United States or other countries have been able to succeed!
At this time, Xu Zhou looked at everyone and continued:
"Tokmak is not the optimal solution. At least in my plan, this set of stellarators is the most suitable method."
"Is there any basis, or experimental data? Tokmak is a nuclear fusion reactor device that has been recognized for so many years. To deny it like this..."
At this time, Zhang An raised a question. As one of his research directions, controllable nuclear fusion has always been a project of his in-depth research.
Now Xu Zhou denies all past research in one sentence, and he will question no matter who it is!
At this time Liu Zhongmin also mentioned:
"It's not nice to say this, but how do we verify this?"
Xu Zhou didn't show any anger, he still smiled and said:
"It's very simple. If I remember correctly, there is an old-style stellarator in the warehouse of Longke Academy."
"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth! Isn't it?"
Liu Zhongmin and the other three looked at each other, then looked at Xu Zhou and nodded, their eyes full of expectation.
