Chapter 523: About future competitions

The meeting after the experiment continued into the evening.
Regarding the technical details of the "liquid lithium neutron recovery system", Lu Zhou had a detailed discussion with other researchers in the institute.
Although a specific plan has not been made, the feasibility of the technical route and the general framework for implementing this technical idea have been concluded at the meeting.
Then, just summarize the meeting minutes, synthesize all the issues, and hold two discussion meetings again, basically you can come up with a relatively complete plan.
The next meeting is scheduled for three days. As for the next three days, Lu Zhou gave the researchers in the institute a short vacation.
One is that everyone hasn't had much rest during the year, and it takes time to accompany their family or girlfriend. The other is that the neutron beam generated by the fusion reaction caused extensive radiation damage to the first wall material. Not only did the austenitic steel as a structural material hit a lot of holes, but also formed a layer of fluff-like metal debris on the surface.
I have to say that this is an interesting phenomenon.
Although everyone can't figure out why this is the case.
Even Lu Zhou, the Nobel Prize-winner, couldn't think of a suitable theory to explain it, but preliminary guesses might be that the surface material was torn due to thermal stress. As for the specific reason, maybe it is only in the imitator The plasma itself became clear.
The land boat that has planned to abandon the entire austenitic steel and does not intend to study this topic in depth.
In short, because the equipment needs to be repaired, the next experiment will have to wait at least a month later.
Back home, it was almost dark.
When Lu Zhou pushed open the door and walked into the porch, a short and ingenious quadrotor drone came.
"Master! Welcome back!"
Looking at the little guy dangling in front of him, Lu Zhou couldn't help smiling.
It's really nostalgic to say that this drone called "Little Guy" was a gift given to him by the members when he was a consultant at the Princeton Drone Club.
After he was brought back to China, he took the time to simply modify it, and threw it to Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai likes this "new toy" that can fly around. At its request, Lu Zhou installed speakers for it, replaced the motor, and installed four pairs of short and powerful hooks on the chassis.
With this "little guy" after the demolition, as well as other intelligent home equipment including a sweeping robot, Xiao Ai can help him to throw a trash, clean the room and so on.
Of course, although it was given permission to use these devices, Lu Zhou also made quite strict restrictions on its scope of activities and code of conduct.
For example, you can only operate in the community of Zhongshan International, prohibit flying into the yard of other people's homes, and move fragile goods.
Xiao Ai obeyed his orders strictly. After all, no matter whether it is intellectual or not, in essence it is still a program, and for his obedience, it is something written into the core code.
"That and that, master, can I ask you one thing?"
While changing slippers, Lu Zhou walking to the living room casually asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ai fluttered beside the land boat, Xiao Ai continued.
"Can I add a LED display to my little plane? Speaking of which, it feels weird to speak with other women's voices. I still prefer more direct text communication. (Shy)"
Lu Zhou ...
What the is the voice of another woman? Isn't that Google Voice? If you don't like it, you can switch to a male voice.
Also, what is the new operation to pronounce the parentheses by voice? In order to highlight the emotional system has become richer after the upgrade?
I always feel that his Xiao Ai has gone further and further in a strange direction ...
Lu Zhou "I refuse."
Xiao Ai "Why! (Crying)"
Looking at the little guy dangling there, Lu Zhou sighed.
Do you still need to ask?
Because I always feel troublesome.
Moreover, the thought of this guy's emoji or expressions flying all over the room all day long, he didn't know what expression to show.
In short, this kind of thing that adds burden to himself without any benefit, he will never do.
Xiao Ai "Can you install an arm for me? I can always do it myself ... (grief)"
Hearing this unreasonable request, Lu Zhou couldn't help but spit out "You just let me build a Gundam for you, don't you think I'm Ding Dang Dang or Robot Cat?"
Hearing this sentence, the drone stopped there, and Ai was silent for a while.
Lu Zhou guessed that this guy mostly went to check what "Ding Ding Dong" was, and most of the time he had already downloaded a complete set on his server, and even started "scanning" it.
Shaking his head, Lu Zhou ignored it and turned into the bathroom to take a bath.
I put on my pajamas, walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for myself, and then went upstairs to the study, sitting in front of the computer and browsing the web.
During this time, because his research work was too busy, he didn't get much internet access. He only heard from other researchers in the institute that the paper they published in Science had successfully attracted a wave of attention around the world. He himself Because of this, it seems that it has been searched again.
Speaking of which, since receiving the Nobel Prize, he has paid little attention to his news and rarely interviewed by reporters.
However, domestic and foreign media did not seem to have weakened his interest.
Especially when he came up with new research results.
After simply reading a few news, Lu Zhou raised his cup and took a sip of coffee.
Domestic reports on controlled fusion are basically all about the star device and its world-leading 60 minutes. Zhou Chengfu did not jump out to say anything. He chose to be a person with his tail in his hands. He didn't know whether he had the confidence to speak or what he said but no one reported.
In addition, compared with domestic news, Lu Zhou's main focus is still international.
The success of the star device will definitely boost confidence in the entire field of controlled nuclear fusion, and it will also stimulate some people's sensitive nerves. What he wanted to know now was the reaction of his peers to the matter.
Just then, a piece of news caught his attention suddenly.
That's a news video of n.
Standing at the press conference, U.S. Secretary of Energy Pei addressed the reporter ’s lens ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and delivered a speech on the recently watched controllable fusion technology. He also responded to the long-established Rumors of intending to exit the iter organization.
"The US position on future energy research has remained the same."
"... We have continuously invested tens of billions of dollars in fusion energy research projects, and since the 1950s, our research on controllable fusion technology has always been at the forefront of the world."
"I must reiterate here that the United States has no plans to withdraw from iter. At least I have not seen any documents on this subject at my desk."
"We will work more closely with our allies on fusion energy research and do our best to expand the impact of our research institutions in this area."
"If the situation is optimistic, we will complete the construction of the controllable fusion demonstration reactor by 2030 and commercialize the controllable fusion technology 20 years ago!"
"We will complete the work that has begun and we will fulfill our commitments to our partner countries ..."
Looking at the US Secretary of Energy who gave a speech in the video, Lu Zhou's forefinger rubbed gently on the mouse, thoughtfully.
"... It seems Americans are starting to worry."
He can write letters to relevant departments, and others can naturally.
And compared with the broad prospects for controlled nuclear fusion, China (or Russia) has achieved an advantage in a certain technology and can better stimulate the Congressional Budget Committee to pay.
As he saw it.
The race for controlled nuclear fusion and the future has begun.
In the future, I am afraid that it is not only the majors of engine, aerospace and nuclear engineering, but even scholars in the field of controlled fusion, it is not easy to apply for a visa ...
