The Tinder project progressed much faster than Chen Nian expected. During the intensive discussion, he suddenly discovered that he seemed to have developed a certain "sensitivity" to knowledge since unknown time.
This of course has nothing to do with the system's training of his brain, but the result of long-term training.
——
In fact, if any ordinary person can immerse himself in the best educational environment for seven or eight years, he can basically reach Chen Nian's current level.
Of course, even in terms of the unchangeable endowment of "brain", Chen Nian is actually not bad.
The reason why he did not achieve very high achievements in his previous life was partly because of his own choices, and partly because of his helpless ending due to the constraints of the general environment.
Time soon came to September 2010. After confirming that most of the information had been processed, Chen Nian’s Huorong team finally began to output the first theoretical results.
The content of this result is exactly what Chen Nian showed Sebastian before, regarding the tearing mode and magnetic ripple field.
In the office, everyone is making final revisions to the paper based on the historical data of the EAST device and some publicly available ITER data.
"So if we only consider the initial distribution of alpha particles under NTM perturbation, the loss of alpha particles all occurs within several poloidal rebound periods, even if the particle tracking time is half the slowing time, after analysis of the loss of particle energy, pitch angle and loss time After distribution, we were also able to confirm that the loss was an initial orbital loss."
"This means that the loss is caused by the finite orbital width of particles generated close to the boundary, and the scanning NTM perturbation amplitude does not affect this loss share."
"NTM and passing particles form a series of resonance islands, but moving away from the boundary does not cause direct particle loss, only local redistribution."
"However, this conclusion is only valid for low-frequency, local and far-from-boundary instability modes. More work is needed on alpha particle confinement under high-frequency instability on fusion reactors. The disturbance frequency is close to the EP drift motion. It is easier to form resonance when the frequency is higher, which cannot be directly substituted into the conclusion for the time being.”
Chen Nian looked at the final output report and summarized it clearly.
Everyone else in the office nodded, especially Pan Qingwei, who was sitting opposite Chen Nian.
In these two months, he witnessed with his own eyes the process of Chen Nian growing from a "novice" who knew only a little about plasma control theory to an "experienced person who can understand most of the theories."
Although it doesn't sound very amazing, and it doesn't reach the amazing speed of those legendary geniuses who mastered a subject in a month, it is still amazing enough.
After all, the design of plasma control theory requires a huge amount of mathematical calculations and does not have many concrete experiments as a reference. The abstract understanding ability of researchers is not generally high.
Moreover, being able to lead the team to arrive at a verifiable theoretical result based on limited experimental data in such a short period of time is enough to prove himself.
Worthy of being the core character of Spark
So are all the core members of this mysterious organization monsters like Chen Nian?
If that's the case, it's no wonder they've been able to do so many earth-shattering things in the past few years.
At this time, Chen Nian also entered his finishing stage.
"In general, this result has certain guiding significance for the subsequent research and development of superconducting coils for fusion devices. Based on this theory, we can basically determine that the ripple field will cause a large loss of particles in the magnetic capture confinement area. As As the particle energy increases, the magnetic capture confinement area becomes smaller, and the impact of the ripple disturbance becomes smaller."
"Next, we need to explore the principle of magnetic ripple field formation. As long as we achieve a breakthrough in this aspect, the problem of coils can basically be solved."
After hearing Chen Nian's words, Pan Qingwei nodded in agreement.
"Yes, although we may face other problems, under normal temperature superconducting conditions, the adjustment of the coil magnetic field intensity can be more refined. Overall, the difficulty should not be too great."
"It's a very good development - we're off to a good start."
For a moment, everyone in the office applauded. Although no one said "flattery", everyone's eyes were already focused on Chen Nian.
Chen Nian put down the document in his hand and said:
"There's no question that this is the result of our combined efforts."
"You don't have to look at me. To be honest, I don't contribute much."
"Although our results cannot be released publicly yet, and the honors we all deserve have to be postponed, please believe that Spark will not treat anyone badly."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, no one has such worries!"
In the corner, a man spoke.
Chen Nian recognized him as one of the first members to join the group, named Li Min.
Compared with others, he is relatively weak in academic level, but this is also because he is too young.
At only 35 years old, he is considered a rare genius in this field.
He smiled slightly and replied:
"Whether you have concerns or not, you still have to make it clear what you need to say."
"You put down the work at hand, worked for so long, and in the end you couldn't even get a promise. Then we are too imbecile."
"Okay, we won't talk so much today."
"Gong Li, please help with the coordination first, organize the documents and prepare them, and then just leave them to me directly."
"In a few days, we will send the documents to EAST. They have already started building a small experimental coil, which is just in time."
"Understood, leave it to me."
Li Min replied decisively.
After a few brief chats, the day's work of the Tinder Team was finally over. When they left the office, everyone had a smile on their face.
In fact, although this way of working is extremely intensive, the psychological pressure is much less than the projects they have done before.
This also allows them to maintain a relatively stable state from beginning to end, and their efficiency has never decreased.
"Hey, Mr. Pan, tell me, can EAST use our results this time?"
Li Min approached Pan Qingwei and asked.
"Who knows? Theoretical research may not be 100% applicable. Maybe we have been busy for so long just to eliminate a wrong answer."
"Everything depends on the data after the test coil is set up - but I have a hunch that the results will not be bad."
"Are you so confident?"
Li Min asked subconsciously.
"It's not a matter of confidence or lack of confidence - I'll just say it."
"Don't you see the problem with Mr. Chen's way of working?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Min's expression immediately changed.
"Did you notice it too?"
Pan Qingwei rolled his eyes and replied:
"He actually didn't intend to hide it. Only a fool can't see it."
"Then what's the problem?"
Li Min continued to ask, but Pan Qingwei stopped paying attention to him.
In fact, it is not convenient to discuss this kind of thing too much. It is enough to say it here.
However, he was indeed a little curious about Chen Nian's working style.
——
Is he doing theoretical exploration?
Yes.
But compared to the "exploration" he did before, what he was doing was more like reverse engineering?
After returning to his office, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the Tinder Project is a brand new attempt for both Starfire and himself.
At the beginning, he did not have much confidence in this plan, let alone expect to produce results within a few months.
But things are obviously progressing more smoothly than he imagined. Without increasing the source point income of more than a hundred points brought by intensive learning, this achievement itself also reduces the source point consumption of plasma control technology in disguise.
The overall source point consumption of magnetic confinement equipment based on superconducting coils has dropped from the initial 900 points to 780 points. Although the amplitude is not too large, this is only the benefit of a single achievement.
There are still nearly four months until the completion of the preliminary construction of EAST. During these four months, there is almost no suspense that the Tinder Team will continue to make new progress.
Speaking of which, do you have enough source data in your hand?
I originally thought that after spending more than 300 points on the YLS-1000, I might have to face a period of contraction, otherwise I would be faced with the dilemma of a lack of technical support for the first wall after the coil construction was completed.
But judging from the current growth rate of source points, it seems that the situation is not that tense?
Thinking of this, Chen Nian's mind came alive again.
There was an experiment in the past that said that a cup that seems to be filled with stones can be filled with more sand if you squeeze it.
It's full of sand and can be filled with water if you squeeze it.
His situation is similar now. Although it seems that most of his efforts will be invested in the key nuclear fusion project, he can still have some surplus.
However, in this case, what direction should be chosen becomes a question.
The investment must be small, the results must be quick, and it must be able to fill some key gaps.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Nian suddenly came up with an idea:
How about getting a batch of new equipment for the army?
Yes, it has been a few years. The Air Force, Navy and Second Artillery have replaced a large number of key equipment. What about the Army?
Except for the rocket launcher at the beginning and the helicopter at the back, there really aren't many killer equipment.
The 99A, which will be tested soon next year, was developed bit by bit by themselves.
The only consolation is the helicopter project.
However, due to insufficient investment in the later stage, this project also stalled after the development of the Z-30 and WZ-30 engineering test machines.
Obviously, there is still a long way to go before these two helicopters can be used in actual combat.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He thought for a moment, then took a piece of white paper from the table and began to write down his experiences from his previous life on the paper.
In fact, in the final analysis, the evolution of the Army's combat methods is nothing more than one direction: the combined brigade.
Taking the U.S. Strike Brigade as a reference, there are several key pieces of equipment to achieve combined brigade operations.
Long-range fire, tanks, helicopters, multi-purpose reconnaissance vehicles, drones, infantry fighting vehicles, large transport aircraft.
Among them, you don’t have to worry about the development of long-range fire. As for tanks, the 99A will be tested soon and no additional investment is needed.
The WZ-30 technical analysis has long been completed, but now the project is progressing slowly. To a certain extent, it is also the result of the scientific allocation of resources by superiors.
UAVs include Rainbow and Wujian-9. The lack of swarm UAV system can be made up for by the military-civilian joint enterprise itself.
Infantry fighting vehicle. How high is the technical content of this thing, and does it still need to be analyzed by oneself?
Probably the only challenging thing is the large transport aircraft.
But Xi Fei is already doing this, so there is no need for him to get involved.
As he wrote this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Good guys, I thought you were quite poor before I watched it, but now that I watch it, I don’t think you are that poor.
——
But of course, this is just my own perspective as an outsider and I don’t necessarily have a thorough view. If you want to determine the true needs of the Army’s equipment, you have to go and ask on the ground.
So, he quickly picked up the phone and called Chen Guo, and asked:
"Professor Chen, can you ask me if the Army has any equipment that is in short supply right now?"
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo was stunned on the other end of the phone for several seconds.
It's not because Chen Nian suddenly mentioned this, but because
He doesn’t know what the Army is lacking!
". Let me ask for you. I don't know anything about this."
Hearing his answer, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Organizational concern for the Army is still not enough.
"Then as soon as possible. I have some free time recently and can make up for the gaps in the army's equipment."
"Understood, I'll go now."
Chen Guo quickly answered.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nian waited for less than half an hour before Chen Guo's results were fed back.
This result also made Chen Nian immediately feel the army's ambition.
They don't want any equipment, they want a system.
A set of information-based, intelligent and automated combat system based on the construction of the combined brigade.
Or to put it more bluntly, what they want is AI.
It is a battlefield command AI that can organize and make decisions on its own, directly targeting combat units rather than equipment units, and is "solution" oriented, with active observation and adaptive features.
Seeing this request, Chen Nian couldn't help but take a breath.
Among other things, the Army, as the backbone of the entire republic, is indeed unique in its strategic foresight.
If I can really give them what they want, not only the army, but the entire future battlefield will change as a result.
This will be a major upgrade of the tactical system and command methods, and may even directly lead the entire army into an era of micro-management.
"The machine gunner advances 100 meters" may no longer be a joke that is made fun of, but can actually determine the outcome of the battle.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but frown.
The same kind of command system used by China in the previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.
Zhanlu.
So this time the goal is it.
As he mobilized his thoughts, the system immediately gave the number of source points required for this system, and after seeing that number, Chen Nian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it only requires 60 points.
Compared with several other key equipments, it can be said to be very economical.
But just as this thought crossed his mind, he found it a little funny.
He was like a scumbag, spending a lot of money outside to buy this and that for the little goblin. When he got home, the scumbag wife hesitated for a long time before asking for something that was not very valuable, but he still thought it was expensive.
