Bang!
A newspaper slammed onto the table.
The glaring title made people's eyes redden.
[Good news! The STAR Stellarator test run was successful!]
Even though there wasn't much publicity, similar news still appeared in the "China Nuclear Industry News", an industry newspaper published by the China National Nuclear Corporation.
Considering that the stellarator at Lu Yang was still on the way, this was probably the first time the stellarator had ignited in China.
However, no matter how worthy of celebration it was, it was impossible for everyone to be satisfied.
When Zhou Chengfu saw this newspaper, he wasn't happy at all.
Jia Liang, who was standing next to Lu Zhou's desk, looked at the newspaper headline and smacked his lips. He didn't know if he was jealous or envious, or maybe both.
"This kid sure is generous, spending €500 million without even blinking."
Zhou Chengfu spoke slowly with a blank expression.
"It's not like he's spending his own money, why would he be reluctant?"
Also, after a successful ignition, it would be a lot easier to get funding.
Zhou Chengfu glanced at the newspaper on the table again and snorted.
"One second …"
This result was far worse than the HL-2A.
Zhou Chengfu picked up the newspaper and was about to throw it into the trash can.
However, while he was holding the newspaper in his hand, he suddenly had an idea.
Perhaps, he could make a fuss about this matter …
…
The successful operation of the STAR machine officially opened the door to stellarator research in China's controllable nuclear fusion industry.
The second day after the successful ignition, reporters from "China Nuclear Industry News", "Science and Technology Weekly", and other magazines interviewed and reported on the latest research progress of the STAR project. The Jin Ling City's municipal government also heard the news and came to the research institute at the foot of the Purple Mountain to show how much importance the Jin Ling City's municipal government placed on the stellarator project.
Lu Zhou let Academician Pan handle these trivial social interactions.
Before the decisive results came out, he wasn't interested in being interviewed by the media, and he wasn't interested in being cared for by the municipal government.
Other than the in-progress results of the STAR Stellarator project, the biggest joy that this successful trial run brought him was the system reward that suddenly appeared in his mind.
Completing two system missions at once brought Lu Zhou a total of 100,000 experience points in materials science, 50,000 experience points in biochemistry, 50,000 experience points in physics, 100,000 experience points in engineering, and 1,000 general points in general.
To him, this experience was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
The accumulated experience was as high as 300,000. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a windfall.
Lu Zhou was sitting in his office at the Institute for Advanced Study. His consciousness was immersed in the system space as he looked at his updated characteristic panel.
【
A. Mathematics)
B. Physics: Level 5 (83215/300,000)
C. Biochemistry: LV4 (74000/200,000)
D. Engineering: Level 3 (5/100,000)
E. Materials Science)
F. Energy and information science points: 4,975 (one lucky draw ticket)
】
Materials science and engineering had both risen to a higher level.
His materials science had reached level 5, which was the same level as his physics.
As for engineering …
Even though he didn't do much research in the field of engineering, it was never bad to have a bit more talent.
Also, a scholar who had some understanding of the field of engineering could often give more constructive suggestions. Therefore, the results would more or less go smoothly when they left the laboratory.
After he closed his characteristic panel, he looked at the "Fusion Light" mission chain one last time. He then exited the system space.
Lu Zhou's consciousness returned to his office. He stretched his back and leaned back in his office chair.
Sitting in the same position was quite tiring.
Lu Zhou stretched his stiff arms and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 12: 30 pm.
He also felt a little hungry, so he got up and left his office. He then went straight to the cafeteria at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Since it was past lunchtime, when he arrived at the cafeteria, there weren't many people there.
After he got his food, Lu Zhou found a place to sit down and began to eat.
Coincidentally, Yang Xu also came to the cafeteria. When he saw Lu Zhou, he sat across from him with his plate and began to chat.
"What a coincidence, you're eating so late today?"
Lu Zhou: "There's a lot of backlog, so I'm a little late."
Yang Xu: "I really suggest you hire two secretaries. It doesn't matter if you need someone to make coffee for you or not, at least it will save you a lot of trouble."
Lu Zhou: "I'll think about it, what about you? What have you been up to? "
"It's mainly some research stuff." Yang Xu suddenly remembered something, so he said, "Oh yeah, there's one more thing I have to discuss with you."
Lu Zhou: "What?"
Yang Xu: "Didn't we recruit a lot of people at the beginning of the year? The people in the institute aren't familiar with each other, so we don't have a good understanding of each other. Liu Bo and I talked about it, and we plan on having a sports meeting next month to improve everyone's relationship. "
"Sure, the body is the capital of scientific research, I support this." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Give me a budget, I'll take care of all the prizes."
Yang Xu smiled and said, "I'll remember that."
After eating lunch, Lu Zhou went back to his office and turned on his computer. He began to deal with the unfinished work from the morning.
A few hours ago, the STAR research institute completed the experiment report and summarized the plasma diagnosis data on a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet was then sent to his email.
After Lu Zhou opened the email, he looked at the attached form and began to read it carefully.
[Longitudinal field plasma current 0kA, plasma confinement time 1.11s, flat-top time 1.75s, auxiliary heating power 40 MW, plasma line average density greater than 7.5 × 10 ^ 19m-1, electron temperature 9.86keV (about 110 million degrees) …]
Lu Zhou looked at the spreadsheet from top to bottom and nodded with satisfaction.
Just from the data on paper, the last experiment was quite successful.
"I can try using hydrogen for the next experiment.
"Also, I have to solve the supercomputer and plasma control scheme as soon as possible. Otherwise, the magnetic confinement time won't go up.
"There's also the water-cooled divertor. If I want to adapt to higher fusion temperatures and complete high-density plasma confinement for more than 30 minutes, I'm afraid I have to redesign this component."
While Lu Zhou was thinking in his heart …
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the corridor.
Not long after, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Lu Zhou closed the email and looked at the door.
"Come in."
Sheng Xianfu walked in angrily with a newspaper in his hand.
"This is too infuriating!"
He placed the newspaper on Lu Zhou's desk.
Lu Zhou looked at the newspaper title and raised his eyebrows.
This is …
