It had been three days since Song Yangwei was taken away.
The boss of Yangwei Capital was in prison, so it was naturally impossible for the short selling plan to continue.
These days, Lu Zhou did not pay much attention to the securities market. Instead, he locked himself at home. He continued to study the "explosive magnetic compression" idea that he had previously come up with.
In fact, this thing could not be considered a complete brainstorm.
As early as the 1950s, related concepts had been born, and people had been studying them until today.
Among the more typical applications were EMP grenades and electromagnetic pulse guns. These two were known as the nemesis of electronic products. Lu Zhou had even seen the latter with his own eyes. It was just a pity that when the EMP bomb hit Ling, it didn't have any effect at all.
However, although there was a lot of research on "explosive magnetic compression" technology, and certain results had been achieved, most of these results were concentrated on some small and medium-sized microdevices, and most of the designs did not have high requirements for reuse.
After all, a rapidly changing magnetic field would generate a lot of energy. Ordinary electronic devices could not withstand that kind of tossing, and they would burn because of the overload of the induced current.
At this moment, the bottleneck Lu Zhou faced was probably the same.
He must find a way to restrain the magnetic induction lines in a very narrow area. It was best if this area had just been loaded with the plasma generated by the reactor, and the energy released by the fusion reaction to maintain the continued operation of the magnetic confinement device. Finally, the entire system would be in a state of dynamic balance.
To be honest, it was very difficult to do this.
Even designing a rough conceptual model for large electromagnet devices really consumed a lot of Lu Zhou's brain cells.
Fortunately, his level 9 materials science and level 8 engineering and energy science provided a lot of help in opening up his ideas. Coupled with the experience accumulated in the previous research on controllable fusion devices, it finally helped him break through the last obstacle.
Although there was still a long way to go from an electromagnet that could provide a magnetic field of 10,000 Tesla, at least there was some progress in an experimental model …
However, just as Lu Zhou was making great strides on the academic road, the door of the study room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure ran in like the wind.
"Master, Xiao Ai … has no bullets. _: (́ □ `」 ∠): _ "
Looking at Xiao Ai, who ran to his side and grabbed his arm pitifully, Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. His fingers also stopped operating the holographic model.
"… Bullets?"
"That's right, that's right.
Oh, so he had spent all his money …
What the hell?
Lu Zhou was shocked when he realized what was going on.
That was 50 billion! Not five hundred dollars!
It's only been a few days since I got the loan. How come it's gone?
He didn't have to spend so much money to buy a starship!
Lu Zhou originally wanted to say that, but in the end, he restrained himself.
He took a deep breath and spoke in a slow tone.
"How could it not be enough? Is there anyone else who is shorting East Asia Power's stock … "
To be honest, he didn't care about other people. He wasn't particularly interested in stocks. He was just unhappy with Song Yangwei's threatening tone.
Another reason was that if the stock price fell because of the scientific research reform he implemented, it would affect the board's confidence in him and hinder his second-generation controllable fusion plan.
Even though the AIIB was on his side now, he was not conceited enough to believe that everyone would always trust him unconditionally.
"I don't think so … Yangwei Capital has stopped moving. QAQ”
Lu Zhou's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Then how did you use up all 50 billion …"
Xiao Ai: "Didn't Master say that the stock price can't fall? So as soon as there was a large sell order, Xiao Ai ate it. QAQ”
Lu Zhou: "…"
Xiao Ai: "Did Xiao Ai do something wrong? Master, can you not be angry? (. • ́ _ _ ́) "
"I'm not angry." Lu Zhou sighed as if he had given up. He continued, "It's all used up. Don't worry about the rest … unless I ask you to do something else."
Forget it, it's only 50 billion anyway.
Not to mention …
There were other things that fascinated him more than money.
Looking at the completed model in his hand, Lu Zhou's mouth evoked a smile.
He had finally completed his task.
…
Electromagnet research laboratory.
Because almost all the researchers were laid off, apart from the robots responsible for cleaning and simple maintenance of equipment, Tang Yunge was the only one left in the entire laboratory.
Looking at the empty office in front of him, Tang Yunge couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. Not only was he not happy about the promotion and salary increase, but he also had a headache.
Second-generation controllable fusion …
The problem was the most critical electromagnet research laboratory.
This made him, who originally intended to live up to Academician Lu's expectations and make some achievements in his field of expertise, full of a feeling of powerlessness.
At this moment, the icon of the meeting prompt suddenly flashed slightly in the lower right corner of the desk.
The moment he saw the logo, he immediately sat up from the office chair, then stretched out his index finger and pressed on the pop-up window of the meeting information.
Light blue light particles floated up from all around, and the panoramic holographic projection system installed in the office emitted a beam of light. Soon, the surrounding scenery was reconstructed.
The next second, he was already sitting in the conference room of the group, and sitting opposite him was the new chairman of East Asia Power, Lu Zhou.
Looking at Academician Lu sitting across the conference table, Tang Yunge spoke respectfully.
"You were looking for me?"
"Yeah, I have a very interesting model here, I want to hear your thoughts." Lu Zhou went straight to the point. He gently pushed his right hand and sent the holographic model floating in his palm in front of him.
Looking at the strange-looking model in front of him, Tang Yunge was slightly stunned. A dumbfounded expression gradually appeared on his face.
"This is …"
"Type A1 pulsed magnetic field generator." A smug smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhou's mouth. He continued, "Although it is a product of imagination, it is surprisingly effective."
After spending three minutes, Lu Zhou briefly explained the principle of this thing to him.
In short, after studying the related technology of explosive magnetic compression, he referred to the circuit equation of the multi-branch explosive magnetic compression current generator in the existing research results and established an equivalent circuit model of the multi-branch explosive magnetic compression current generator. He then used this model to optimize and design an explosive magnetic compression device with a length of 600mm, a diameter of 120mm, a total mass of 10kg, and a high energy output.
Although this device was also very small, compared with today's mainstream design ideas, it had more expansion space, and came with an open energy input interface.
The advantage of this design was that the energy to compress the magnetic field was not provided through an unstable mode such as explosion. Instead, the high-frequency "squeezing" of the magnetic field was achieved through the input of heat from outside the system.
If it was used in places such as EMP weapons, this design might not be so suitable. However, it was suitable for a device such as a controllable fusion reactor, which was large to a certain extent and had a serious heat accumulation.
It could even be said that it was tailor-made for it …
After looking at the model for a long time, Tang Yunge's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his voice uncontrollably carried a trace of excitement.
"Have you done the feasibility demonstration? No, let me do it, wait for me — "
"It's done." Lu Zhou interrupted Tang Yunge's words and continued with a smile, "It's not just a feasibility demonstration, I have printed a sample through an industrial-grade 3D printer. Although the quality of the 3D printed things is average, it is not a problem. According to the detection of the magnetic induction device, it can probably amplify the magnetic field by more than 50 times at a frequency of 50Hz. "
Fifty times!
The moment Tang Yunge heard these words, he took a deep breath, and his eyes almost popped out.
"Fifty times? Are you kidding me? I mean … Really, is it that exaggerated? "
Lu Zhou said in a teasing tone.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just … you don't know what this means." With obvious shock on his face, Tang Yunge continued in an emotional tone after a wry smile, "If this thing is really so powerful, I'll believe it even if you say that the second generation of controllable fusion can be made tomorrow."
"That's not necessarily the case. Don't be happy too early. There are still a lot of things we need to do later."
With a light cough, Lu Zhou paused for a while and continued to speak.
"The magnetic field provided by this A1 experimental electromagnet is very small. It can even be said to be just a simple conceptual model. It is impossible to expect this thing to be used directly on the reactor, and it is still unknown whether this pulsed magnetic field can effectively restrain high-temperature plasma.
"I need you to refer to this conceptual model and its design ideas to redesign a larger electromagnet as the 'container' of the second-generation controllable fusion reactor.
"As long as this container can provide a magnetic field of 10,000 or more Tesla, our second-generation controllable fusion device will have a foothold."
"No problem, it's fine if you want 10,000 or 20,000 Tesla." The smile on Tang Yunge's face gradually became helpless. "The premise is that we have enough manpower. Now the entire research institute is an empty shell, and we can't start any work. "
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou gave him a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, the job fair is about to start.
"The manpower you need will be available soon."
