Chapter 554: Everything is ready

Outside the STAR-2 demonstration base, a helicopter landed smoothly on the ground.
Although resisting this type of transportation, I have to admit that this is the fastest option.
After getting off the helicopter, Lu Zhou didn't stop. He took the computer bag in his hand and strode toward the base with a big stride.
After passing through the construction site in the center of the base, I went straight to the main building and found Academician Wang Zengguang's office.
Standing at the door, Lu Zhou knocked on the door, then pushed it in.
Looking at Lu Zhou who came in through the door, Academician Wang Zengguang stopped the pen in his hand and smiled.
"Yo? Already back? Academician Li Jiangang asked me to tell you that the ICRF antennas they are responsible for improving are ready and basically meet your requirements.
"Everything is going well on our side, it may not even be the end of the year, and what you want can be made."
"The most critical part now is the liquid lithium neutron recovery system. Can you do it?"
When he said this, Academician Wang said with a smile, just a joke, so that there was no urging meaning.
Because he knew very well that the road under his feet had gone so smooth, it was because Lu Zhou had paved the way for them.
It is no exaggeration to say that from plasma turbulence models to LPC-1 materials, these research results have saved them at least 20 years.
Therefore, even the most critical liquid lithium neutron recovery system has not made much progress, which is completely acceptable.
After all, human energy is limited.
However, Lu Zhou's answer was beyond his expectations.
I saw him remove a pile of information from the computer bag and said at the same time.
"Then I should ask you, the design work has been done. Whether it can be made depends on your side."
"So fast?"
Academician Wang suddenly stood up from his chair in surprise, quickly walked around the desk and walked forward, took the stack of drawings from Lu Zhou's hands, and carefully read them.
Time passes just like this minute by minute.
Looking at the drawing in his hand, the expression on Academician Wang's face became more dignified.
Noting the change in his expression, Lu Zhou yawned and asked casually, "Is there anything wrong?"
Academician Wang shook his head and said, "No,"
It would be better to say ...
It was so perfect that he couldn't even put forward any suggestions for improvement.
As for the difficulty of engineering realization, it is also within the acceptable range.
After closing the drawing in his hand, Academician Wang looked at Lu Zhou and couldn't help talking.
"You guy is a genius."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.
"This is not my credit, and all the researchers at the STAR Institute ..."
Of course, there are systems.
Although you don't need points, you can solve these problems.
In contrast, it takes a lot of time, and it is impossible to be so perfect in one step.
However, for Lu Zhou's modesty, Academician Wang didn't seem to buy it, and an "I understand" expression waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, this is the credit of everyone, I believe it."
Lu Zhou: "...?"
What do you know?
...
In mid-November, the weather was slightly cold, and the red brick tiles of the Forbidden City were already covered with hoarfrost.
At this moment, in a sanatorium not far from the Forbidden City and in a quiet environment, a chessboard was placed under the big willow tree that the two of them were hugging.
On this rare sunny day, the two old men were sitting opposite each other and playing chess.
The Red and Black killed you and came to me.
However, at this moment, the situation suddenly turned around.
"General!"
With this excitement, the red horse kicked and flew the black elephant, forming a horn with the car, and forced Black's deathly corner into the corner of the palace.
There is no doubt that the outcome is already known.
Staring at the chessboard and thinking, the old man suddenly thought to himself thoughtfully, "This step should not be arched, if the elephant is--"
Seeing him reach out to touch the chessboard, the old man sitting opposite him immediately stopped.
"Well, what do you do, others will regret it, you can't regret it!"
The old man who just touched the chessboard edged his hand for a moment, and then let go of the chess piece with a smile and said.
"The Chief Designer Ren is right, I lost this chess!"
Sitting opposite him was Academician Ren Changming, the former chief designer of the Lunar Exploration Project.
"Are you busy lately?"
Old man: "If you are busy, you are busy. If you are not busy, you are not busy."
Ren Changming: "I think you're quite busy. You have time to come and play chess with me."
The old man shook his head: "The international situation is not optimistic, and I am just busy."
Ren Changming: "I heard that Jinling is engaged in controlled nuclear fusion?"
The old man nodded. "There is this."
Although many old experts are not optimistic about this project, he feels that whether it can be done or not, it is at least worth trying.
Maybe this technology can become the key to breaking the game?
"Controllable nuclear fusion," Speaking of this word, Ren Changming's expression was filled with emotion, "I had discussed this issue with Qiao Gong before. We all thought that at the most for twenty years, there must be one between the United States and the Soviet Union. The country can get it out, and we can quickly keep up. As a result, 20 years have passed. Seeing that it will be another 20 years, I don't know when it will be a head. "
At the time in the 1990s, everyone was engaged in inertia restraint, claiming to ignite within ten years and commercial use within twenty years. Seeing the dawn of controllable fusion rising, China was naturally unwilling to fall behind. In 1993, the ICF project was launched quickly and was selected into the 863 plan. It followed the international hotspot and launched a technical attack on inertial constraints. It even once formed the "Thousands of People's Congress" situation.
However, the progress of the situation did not go as smoothly as expected. The ignition of the American NIF failed, pouring a basin of cold water into the direction of the inertia restraint. The originally tepid tokamak gradually became popular, and the once popular inertia restraint gradually became unpopular. Mention again.
If it is not for laser ignition technology, it can be transferred to the military industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that the investment in this route of inertial restraint is nothing.
All this now seems to be a cycle of the past.
Although he didn't engage in nuclear engineering, Ren Changming looked at him all the way.
To be honest, he was more worried than optimistic.
Of course, deep down, he still looks forward to the successful conclusion of this project.
"The person in charge is that Luzhou?"
Old man: "Do you know him?"
"It's more than just knowing," there was a bit of nostalgia on the old academician's face when he heard Lu Zhou's name, and he said with a smile, "About a few years ago, when the boy was still studying at Jinling University, I knew him Now. "
"At the time, it was an expert interview at the Digital Model Contest. I sat on the judges and asked him how he thought about the prospects of the moon landing project. This kid was very interesting. He was different from other interviewers and asked me about the Great Wall. What do you think? I talked about history, the future, and the truth. "
"At that time, I saw that he was a personal talent. It was a loss to study the mathematics in the third acre of Jinda's acre, so I went to Jinda myself and wanted to get him to Yanda. Aerospace, ask him if you want to learn to build rockets with me, but you guess what he and I say? "
The old man asked with a smile, "How do you say?"
Ren Changming patted his thigh and said with a smile: "He said to me, Professor Ren, I don't want to go to heaven!"
"Hahaha ..."
The two old men burst into laughter.
Talking about the past and feeling the hurries of the years, Ren Changming couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
At that time, I was able to run everywhere, even now, even if I think of running around, I can hardly move.
Enough laugh, Ren Changming stopped laughing and said with emotion.
"Later, it's almost what you saw. This kid is really not simple. Although he is not in heaven, he is no different from heaven."
Having said that, Ren Changming paused for a moment and continued.
"If he didn't succeed, don't be disappointed. After all, scientific research is not an infrastructure, and inputs and outputs are not necessarily proportional. Compared to his present, I am more optimistic about his future. It will not take long for us The old man who visited Qiaogong is different ~ EbookFREE.me ~ His research career has just begun, and his journey is still very long. "
After listening to what Mr. Ren said, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know that you can always rest assured."
Ren Changming nodded comfortably.
Although it was only a precautionary plan, he should still say these things.
If he didn't even say it, nobody would say it.
Just then, the guard came over and reported to the old man,
"..., Director Lu is outside."
The old man nodded: "Let him in."
"Yes!"
Li Zheng made a military salute, and the guard turned and walked outside the hospital.
Did not wait long, followed by the guards, Director Lu came in excitedly.
He noticed the letter that was pinched in his hand, and then saw the excited expression on his face. The old man smiled and said, "What's exciting you?"
Director Lu said excitedly: "A good news came from Haizhou! The demonstration team project has entered the final stage! Here I am, a letter from Professor Lu!"
The moment he heard this sentence, Ren Changming's face showed a surprised expression.
The chess piece in his hand landed on the chessboard, and the old man looked moved and stood up.
"What did he say in the letter?"
Taking a deep breath, restraining the excitement of tone, Director Lu said in a sound.
"The demonstration reactor project has entered the countdown and it is expected that a test ignition will be carried out at the end of December! Request for approval from the central government!"
Hearing the news, the old man laughed and even said three times "OK".
His smile narrowed, and he looked slightly fine, and ordered a deep voice.
"Approve ignition!"
