In the following time, Li Mu began to study systematically, reading the papers that Zhao Heyang shared with him, as well as related books.

The small library that Zhao Heyang took him to see before became a place he would go to every day.

For him now, the most important thing is to deepen his knowledge base to facilitate the design of experiments in real universe environment simulation experiments.

At least he had to design a reactor that wouldn't explode first.

Anyway, he is still frightened by the last explosion, because that explosion made him dizzy for two days before he recovered.

Of course, he absorbed knowledge very quickly, so within a few days, he once again conducted a second simulation in his mind's computer.

In this simulation, there was no explosion, but the situation that Zhao Heyang mentioned also occurred, that is, the fission chain reaction was too slow.

If the reaction speed is too slow, the efficiency of power generation will also be very slow. If it cannot compare with the third generation nuclear power technology, then their fourth generation technology will be completely meaningless.

So his next goal is to ensure the safety of the reactor and at the same time ensure the reaction rate.

It is difficult to do this, but it still needs to be solved.

In this way, time passed quickly.

Li Mu has also been here for two weeks.

In the small library.

There were very few people, only two or three people. After all, most people stayed in the laboratory.

Li Mu sat alone at a table filled with various books.

They were all professional books he found in this small library. As for the papers Zhao Heyang sent him, he read them last week.

But at this time, he was not reading a book, but drawing pictures on a piece of scratch paper.

It was his blueprint for the distribution of reactors.

"Well...the response speed should be faster under this structure."

After finishing the last stroke of the design, he thought about it for a moment, then made a calculation on the side and came to a conclusion.

"Well, let's give it a try first."

With this thought in his mind, he then immersed his thoughts back into his mind and entered the real universe environment simulation experiment.

As long as the experiment fails, he can always simulate it in his mind. After the experiment succeeds, the number of simulation experiments in the real universe environment will be used up.

The simulation scene was still the nuclear reactor in the Atomic Energy Research Institute, and he began to simulate it according to his idea just now.

As the nuclear fission reaction began, he focused all his attention on the experiment.

But he didn't notice someone standing behind him.

After a while, he opened his eyes again with a little surprise.

This time the simulation experiment was very close to the effect he wanted.

After a lot of simulations and a lot of calculations, he seemed to have gradually found the key points in the distribution problem of fourth-generation nuclear reactors.

"Chain reaction chain reaction, the distribution of reactors should be designed strictly in accordance with the characteristics of the chain reaction."

he mused.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he noticed someone sitting next to him.

"Young man, what are you drawing?"

The voice from beside him made him slightly startled.

Turning around, I saw an old man in his 60s.

He must also be a researcher in their institute, but he doesn't have a badge on his chest.

"Well, this is the nuclear reactor distribution design diagram."

"Oh? Why is it different from other designs?"

the old man asked.

Then, he took out another pen from Li Mu's stationery bag and simply drew a picture on a piece of paper next to him.

Li Mu could recognize that this was the plan recently designed by Professor Liu Encun, because he had seen it in the past few days.

However, he had already simulated it in the computer in his mind. The effect of this plan was not as good as the one he had just designed. It had flaws in terms of safety and reaction efficiency.

Of course, he didn't say it directly, otherwise if Professor Liu Encun heard it, he would think he was saying bad things behind his back.

So he just smiled and said: "I just tried it according to my own ideas."

"Haha, you probably don't approve of this design." The old man saw what Li Mu meant at a glance and said with a smile: "You can tell me the reason, and you don't have to worry. I won't talk to Liu Encun about this. I can promise."

"Well……"

Li Mu was stunned, but he didn't expect the old man to see what he was thinking.

However, the old man knew Liu Encun and was able to come up with Liu Encun's plan, so he should have a relatively high status within the institute.

It's just that he has been reading and studying these days, so he doesn't know many people in the institute.

Of course, judging from the other party's attitude, he should be sincerely asking him questions, so he no longer resisted.

He picked up the scratch paper and began to calculate the equations.

"First of all, from the perspective of the expected reaction efficiency, the design of this plan will have the following problems, resulting in its power generation effect may not be as good as the third-generation nuclear power plant."

"The first one is that the neutron density is low..."

He listed a bunch of rigorous formulas to prove this.

"Secondly, the cooling effect of liquid sodium does not meet the requirements, which will cause safety hazards."

Then he listed a bunch of formulas to once again prove his conclusion.

The old man next to him watched quietly and nodded from time to time.

"All that said, this is why I think this plan is not good."

The old man smiled: "Very good, the analysis is spot on."

But then he looked at the picture Li Mu had designed before.

"Then this should be your own design, right?"

"Yes."

"Well...what do you think is good about your design?"

“Safe and more responsive.”

The old man nodded, and then asked: "Then can I borrow your design drawing? Go back and study it."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then became alert: "I haven't asked you yet, who are you?"

The old man smiled and took out the badge from his arms.

Dong Qiguang, President of China Institute of Atomic Energy.

Li Mu was stunned.

ah?

Director of the Institute of Atomic Energy?

Only then did he take a closer look at the old man, and he immediately recalled that on his first day here, Zhao Heyang took him to take a look at the photo gallery of the leaders of the Institute of Atomic Energy.

It seems like this old man is here?

"Uh, hello, Dean Dong!"

He came to his senses and shouted quickly.

This is a big boss!

Not to mention that he once led the research and development of China's third-generation nuclear power plant and was a mainstay figure in China's nuclear power technology. Just talking about his achievements in the world's atomic energy, one can list them all.

In addition to being the president of the Institute of Atomic Energy, he is also the person in charge of their national project.

No wonder he knew Liu Encun and was able to get Liu Encun's plan at the same time.

Disrespect, disrespect.

Dong Qiguang smiled: "Hello, classmate Li Mu, I heard before that the mathematical genius from China is here, but I haven't had time to meet him. He is indeed extraordinary."

Based on Li Mu's rigorous mathematical and physical analysis just now, he was able to fully realize Li Mu's ability.

What valued him even more was the design completed by Li Mu.
