Chapter 473: 2 general directions

"Just this guy?"
Looking at the empty conference room, Lu Zhou was not very comfortable.
When he gave a lecture at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the scene was crowded, and people who could not squeeze into the lecture hall even sat on the corridor.
Now, he roughly counted it, and there were only twenty or so individuals in the conference room.
He knew half of them.
For example, Brother Qian, Brother Liu ...
"There were not many formal researchers in our institute. I thought you were going to say something more confidential. Some researchers and research assistants who were still in the internship period did not call me." Yang Xu, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, was awkward. Immediately added, "Will I inform you now?"
Lu Zhou froze slightly, and then smiled: "No, just don't have to come. Sitting here are the backbone of the research institute, I just say a few words."
The USB flash drive was inserted into the multimedia desk and the projector turned on.
The curtain behind him lowered, Lu Zhou cleared his throat, his expression was slightly adjusted, and he said.
"You may have all heard that the controllable fusion project is officially settled in Jinling."
When Lu Zhou uttered this sentence, there was a sound of commotion in the conference room. The researchers looked at each other and saw surprise and shock from each other's eyes.
Although some rumors have been heard before, the kind of hearsay news is obviously far less shocking than being confirmed in person by Lu Zhou.
If other people say that they want to do such a cutting-edge thing as controlled nuclear fusion, everyone will most likely laugh at it.
But Luzhou is different.
He not only solved the century-old problem of the existence of the ns equation solution, but also built a mathematical model for the elusive plasma turbulence with the help of his original l-manifold.
Such a god-like boss says that he wants to engage in nuclear fusion. Even if he can't see the shadow of a stellar device now, the researcher sitting here believes it half-heartedly.
It is just puzzling, why did Lu Zhou talk about it here?
After all, the Institute of Computational Materials is not an Institute of Plasma Physics. It studies material problems and has nothing to do with the research on controlled nuclear fusion.
However, Lu Zhou's next words answered the questions on this issue in everyone's mind.
"... Someone may ask in your heart what this has to do with you. After all, you are mostly of chemical origin. In the end, you chose materials as your own development direction. Even if you have a condensed matter physical origin, it is also related to plasma physics and nuclear The project is untouched. "
"However, breakthroughs in energy technology and advances in materials technology are indivisible. We need a larger magnetic field to constrain the elusive plasma, and we need a more reliable first wall to withstand the light and heat of fusion reactions."
Looking at the researchers present, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and talked about the key points.
"In the future, our research will focus on two general directions. One is superconducting materials. As I said earlier, we need a material that is more concise in engineering and has a superconducting temperature closer to room temperature to strengthen our magnetic field. "
"The second is heat-resistant materials. We need a high-temperature first wall to block plasma that escapes magnetic fields."
"At present, we have made some progress on superconducting materials. The sg-1 displayed at the mrs autumn conference a month ago has reached 101k at the superconducting transition temperature. Among many superconducting materials, this number is far from Not much is outstanding, but the plasticity of graphene itself has great potential waiting for us to explore. "
On the ppt behind him, Lu Zhou listed the front-end technology needed to complete controlled nuclear fusion in a picture.
These are open issues and bottlenecks for controlled nuclear fusion.
No matter how strong he is, there is only one person. It is impossible to do everything in every place. The best way is to break up a large subject into countless small subjects, and then subcontract it to the researchers below.
He himself chose several of the more difficult problems to study.
In fact, when promoting a major scientific research project, many domestic research institutes follow this model.
An academician received a large project with a ten-million-level funding, and then from this project, n sub-projects with a million or 100,000-level funding were dismantled and given to professors like Yangtze River scholars. The Mavericks do it, if the subject can be further subdivided, there are Jie Qing and so on under the Yangtze River Scholar, and then spread out to the lower layer like a pyramid ...
Of course, this is just an image but an inappropriate metaphor. After all, in the academic pyramid, whether it is Changjiang scholars or Jie Qing, compared to ordinary researchers, it is a proper bull, and only one level can be distinguished from the other.
As for the end of the pyramid, there is no controversy. It is naturally the hardest and most exhausted research dog in academia.
Looking back at the double sights in the conference room, Lu Zhou paused and continued.
"Princes, we are working on a great cause."
"If we succeed, our country, our people, and even our civilization will benefit from it. And the value of this is not enough to be measured in any currency."
"I know this is not a project that can be completed overnight, and even every step will be full of difficulties."
"But I am confident that I will overcome this obstacle with the monarchs!"
"Wish to encourage you all!"
...
After the meeting ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Holding the minutes of the meeting, Liu Bo still muttered to himself: "Controllable nuclear fusion ... Do you think this thing is reliable?"
Qian Zhongming: "What's so reliable?"
Liu Bo: "Our research institute is full of talents and only a hundred people, including those undergraduates who have been mobilized from Jinda University. There are only twenty formal researchers, and do you see the topics on ppt? As far as manpower is concerned, I don't see it. "
Without answering this question, Qian Zhongming asked instead: "Besides our boss, there are several Nobel Prizes in the academic world of China."
Liu Bo froze slightly, and didn't understand why he asked this question.
"Academician Yang, senior Tu Tu ... Mo Yan?"
Qian Zhongming: "I'm talking about academia."
Liu Bo: "Then two."
Qian Zhongming then asked: "How many are still on the front line of scientific research?"
Senior Yang is 95 years old. Although he has cultivated many outstanding physics talents for the Republic and put forward many constructive suggestions for the development of Chinese physics, it is obviously far from the front line of scientific research .
The same is true of senior Tu Tu. She is eighty-seven years old, and now she is very old. Whether or not the elderly are still in scientific research positions, it is already a bit unrealistic to expect them to make significant research results.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bo said, "... It seems that there is also Lu Shen."
"Yeah," Qian Zhongming nodded. "So do you think that lack of people would be a problem for him?"
The Nobel Prize Researcher has talked to recruit people ...
I'm afraid that half of the research dogs in China and even overseas are afraid of sharpening their heads and trying to squeeze in.
