Chen Nian is not worried about superconducting coil technology at all, and of course he is not worried about the theoretical basis.
Because he has already made preparations.
After a long period of intense study, the number of source points he had at his disposal had reached 1,800, and correspondingly, the source point consumption of the superconducting coil had been reduced to 560 points.
Between an increase and a decrease, he no longer had any hesitation.
After bidding farewell to Sebastian, Chen Nian returned to his room and immediately began to analyze the technology of "magnetic field generation equipment for tokamak fusion devices based on room-temperature superconducting materials."
He originally thought that this process would be difficult, after all, it involved too many complex basic theories, but in fact, the system skipped the theoretical part and directly gave him the final result.
This is indeed consistent with his previous experience. The output of the system is always the final "application technology".
However, even just applying technology is enough for him.
The detailed data and models were enough for him and the members of the Tinder Team to complete reverse engineering within a period of time to truly solve the problem at the theoretical level.
It took Chen Nian two days to completely absorb the superconducting coil technology, and his next goal is to complete the output within a month.
This is almost effortless.
At full efficiency, he couldn't even spend a week.
Therefore, he found Chen Guo as soon as he completed the analysis, and the latter was not surprised - even though he had received many questions and opinions from all aspects, for the Tinder Team and Chen Nian, He always has 100% trust in the progress.
"The basic design of the magnetic field generating device of the annular grid-shaped double-wire parallel-wound system based on nuclear fusion poloidal field superconducting magnets. Hmm, I can't understand it."
"But this thing is not just a coil. Why is it called a superconducting coil?"
Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian smiled and replied simply:
"This is a common name without specific meaning. Instead of calling it a superconducting coil, it can be called a magnetic field generating device."
"It's just that before metallic hydrogen, our understanding of magnetic field generating devices has always been coils, so I just used it casually."
"We'll wait until the actual implementation of the project to decide whether to change the name or not. Anyway, I'm only responsible for outputting the design drawings. I'll let EAST decide the rest."
"It's casual enough. Okay. What you've come up with now is just the first draft?"
Chen Nian shook his head and replied:
"The first draft is not even considered - if I have to make an analogy, this thing now is probably equivalent to the sketch of the J-22 I gave you."
"You can see something, but in fact, if you really want to use it, it's still too far behind."
"Understood."
Chen Guo put away the documents in her hand and continued:
"I will take this to the Academy of Physical Sciences first to give them a simple reference to determine the direction of subsequent work."
"Then, we may ask you to output phased results as soon as possible to ensure the smooth operation of the project."
"The preliminary preparations for EAST have been basically completed, and the materials are complete. It can be said that everything is ready. All we need is the east wind."
"This Zhuge Liang, your move is really just right."
"If it's any later, the people down there will really start to make a fuss."
"A fight? Is it that serious?"
Chen Nian asked curiously.
In fact, he knew that because there had been no sufficiently convincing theoretical results in plasma control for a long time, there were indeed some doubts or "verification" voices from the institutions of various countries that had previously decided to participate in the EAST project, but these voices were absolutely Most are relatively mild.
After all, nuclear fusion itself is a huge project of huge scale. The original purpose of everyone participating in this project is not to focus on China to produce results within a certain period of time, but more to focus on metallic hydrogen. The potential of this epoch-making material wants to catch the fast train before it fully explodes.
As for other problems, if China can solve them, let China solve them by itself. If China cannot solve them, they are also ready to fully invest.
If not, how can their value as "collaborators" rather than "vassals" be demonstrated, and how can they be justified in sharing more benefits in subsequent results?
Under such circumstances, how could they still make trouble?
This seems to be inconsistent with common sense.
Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Chen Guo sighed, and then explained:
"It's not that simple."
"Overall, the rebound among professionals is indeed not serious. They have relatively stable expectations about the difficulty and replacement cycle of new technologies, and will not lose confidence because of a short-term stagnation."
"But their sponsors are different."
"You also know that it is an adventure for them to recruit so many scholars to participate in the EAST project."
"After huge investment, they are still unable to get feedback in time. The pressure they face from public opinion and the so-called 'democracy' pressure is huge."
"As far as we know, small-scale demonstrations have begun to break out in France, accusing us of giving precious scientific research resources to us in vain."
"Just two days ago, the contact person called me personally and wanted a clear answer."
"But how can we give this thing? Isn't that just a joke?"
"So, the last conversation can be said to have ended on bad terms."
"The other side thinks we are setting up technical barriers. We think they are too full to eat."
"If we weren't in an advantageous position now, I even suspect they would use other means to kidnap us."
Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"What else can they do?"
At this time, the trend of decoupling between Europe and the United States is becoming more and more obvious, and the connections between many countries in Europe are also weakening year by year. The close community of interests a few years ago has ceased to exist in name only, and its influence has also been greatly reduced.
That's it, what else?
Americans don’t even dare to do this anymore.
But soon, Chen Guo's answer made Chen Nian realize that he was indeed relatively naive in the field of "international exchanges".
"Not all diplomatic measures are as tough as those of the United States. They are completely forced."
"In fact, all means can not escape the final word: exchange of interests."
"Think about it, if they propose that because they have invested too much in the fusion field, they decide to cut some of the preferential tariff policies in import trade, what does this mean to us?"
"Not to mention how disgusting it is, at least the damage it causes is real, and you can't find fault with it. After all, there is no problem with this kind of thing in terms of international law or morality."
"Another possibility is that the other party does not interfere with you in the economic and trade aspects, but deliberately reveals some decoupling signals, which will also be a major blow to our local enterprises."
"After all, investors will be more vigilant when the relationship between the two parties is unclear. Overall, our globalization strategy will inevitably be affected."
Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded silently.
This does make sense.
I can't pose an actual threat to you, so it's okay if I don't play with you, right?
Moreover, such "alienation" often comes with high-sounding excuses. No matter how strong you are, you may still ask for cooperation based on others' dictates.
"Fortunately, such a thing is impossible to happen."
Chen Nian said with a little teasing.
"Yeah, it won't happen now."
"That's why I said, your actions were very timely."
A few days later, not long after Chen Guo and Chen Nian were discussing the follow-up plan for the superconducting coil.
In a seemingly ordinary office in Paris, several men sat together and were discussing an issue that would have a major impact on the future plans of the entire country.
"Judging from the current situation, China's progress in the field of fusion is extremely limited. Regarding the direction of plasma control, they are still far behind the United States."
"This problem will not be solved immediately because they have mastered metallic hydrogen technology. On the contrary, according to the results of our communication with relevant technical personnel, the generation principle of room temperature superconducting magnetic field has considerable differences with the high-temperature superconducting field that humans have previously known. difference."
"In other words, if China wants to build a tokamak device based on metallic hydrogen, it is basically equivalent to overturning or abandoning most of mankind's previous accumulation and opening up another path."
“I don’t think I need to tell you how difficult it is to do this, everyone here can understand.”
"So, I have always emphasized that the birth of metallic hydrogen does not mean the birth of the opportunity to enter the market. We were too eager, and now we have trapped ourselves."
The speaker was a senior official from the French Ministry of Economy, who had the most negative attitude toward the EAST project compared to everyone else in the room.
Of course, this is not because of his own prejudice, but because this project is indeed too expensive for France.
Although the amount of capital they invested is not large, the hidden costs of technology, resources, and policies often cannot be described by capital alone.
"So you're saying we should pull out of the project?"
The man in a suit sitting opposite him frowned and continued:
"This is the stupidest idea I have ever heard! What is 'too eager' and what is 'time to enter'? I don't think you understand at all. The reason why we have to make quick decisions is because China has already laid the foundation for the future. The door was opened a crack."
"If we don't rush to the front of the line with the excuse of 'helping open the door,' when the door actually opens, will we still have a chance to walk out?"
"in addition."
"Don't twist my point!"
However, before the man in the suit finished speaking, the economic official immediately interrupted him.
"I have never said that we should withdraw from the project. Whether it is from the perspective of the continuity of our own policies or the so-called 'technical prospects', this is not an optional decision."
"My meaning is very clear, that is to put pressure on China and win more core seats for us through the fact that they have 'no breakthrough'."
"In fact, it's not just us, some countries are already doing this."
"As far as I know, the German side has sent a letter to China, requesting that the project rankings of the two plasma physicists they exchanged previously be improved in order to promote faster development of the project."
"This is an extremely smart approach. When China cannot make progress, we should shoulder greater responsibilities."
"Even in terms of international public opinion, such a request is not excessive, is it?"
"The previous ITER project assigned tasks to countries based on their actual scientific research capabilities."
"This is the standard way of operating an international project - not like them, who stubbornly hold the highest authority and resources despite knowing that they are not strong enough."
"This is their project! EAST is not a typical international project, it is a private project belonging to China that 'introduces international cooperation'!"
The man in the suit also showed no sign of weakness and bluntly pointed out the mistakes made by economic officials.
"But if you go by what you said, it's even more ridiculous."
"Are we making wedding dresses for them? If this is a private project, what is the purpose of our participation?"
“Isn’t it obvious that in order to obtain technology transfer?”
The argument between the two became more and more intense, and no one else in the conference room could even get a word in.
But of course, they didn't want to get in the way either.
After all, the two people who are arguing represent the highest say in the EAST project, both technical and financial. It is originally a fight between gods, what can mortals do to get involved?
Noise, noisy.
The final decision is often made in this way.
In a sense, this is not a bad thing.
So, while they were still arguing, the man sitting in the corner silently turned on the computer.
He habitually browses the progress of the EAST project and looks at the latest results publicly released by the other party in the academic discussion forum.
Actually, there's nothing interesting about it.
In the past three months, there has never been any truly "heavyweight" article here.
Just pass the time
He scrolled the mouse silently, his eyes scanning randomly.
——
But at this glance, he saw something unusual.
One article. No, it’s a bunch of newly released articles.
The content of the pinned article is.
"Study on escaped electron synchrotron radiation in EAST Tokamak device".
Such a big topic?
He frowned slightly and nodded subconsciously.
As soon as he saw the introduction and keywords, he was stunned.
"Numerical simulation results of the principle of magnetic ripple field generation."
Is there any progress?
He quickly turned to the main text, and after briefly reading through it, he immediately felt that all his hairs stood on end.
what's the situation?
The EAST project team has solved the key issue of the ripple field?
Didn’t America say that it will take at least three more years to solve this problem?
They are not sure yet, but China has achieved it?
Isn’t this achievement a major breakthrough?
Wait until the results they come up with seem to be more than that.
"Experimental results of bias voltage suppression of escape current and magnetic energy transfer to achieve soft landing of current."
"Study on slide-away anomalous Doppler resonance characteristics."
"Finite element simulation study of longitudinal field waviness in CFETR."
Scroll down one by one, and there are a total of 7 results discussions updated in one day.
Moreover, each item is extremely weighty.
This seems a little wrong
He raised his head and said with a trembling voice:
"stop fighting."
"Things have changed."
"I think you should see this"
The two people opposite them stopped talking at the same time, and when they saw what was on the computer screen clearly, they couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.
I just said that the EAST project team has no breakthrough results.
How long has it been since you came here to have a big sale? ?
