I really just want to be a scholar

The hanging hearts of Academician Hong Xianhua and others suddenly relaxed, and at the same time, scalding heat flowed throughout their bodies instantly.

The ignition test of the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor!

Who would have thought that the "Light of Nuclear Fusion" scientific research project, which was secretly established two and a half years ago, would have rapidly advanced to the stage of building a demonstration reactor and conducting ignition tests?

But no one doubts Mr. Q’s words. Over the past two years, if it were not for Mr. Q’s command or even “guidance”, it would have been impossible for nuclear fusion technology to continue to advance at such a rocket-like speed.

Difficulties that seem impossible to solve at all, such as turbulence effects in plasma, high-energy neutron isolation technology, high-pressure and high-temperature resistant material synthesis for core furnace walls, dynamic balance between input deuterium and tritium produced by reaction, laser-induced Difficulties such as nuclear fusion, control of the fusion reaction process, and stable energy output that had not been overcome for decades were all solved under Mr. Q's correct guidance.

In just two and a half years, the technology research and development road that was originally estimated to take at least 50 years has been completed!

As someone who has personally experienced such a great and almost miraculous process, Academician Hong Xianhua and dozens of other experts in nuclear physics still feel like they are in a dream from time to time. Even their admiration for Mr. Q has reached an almost blind level. situation.

So when Mr. Q explained the technical details in a simple and easy-to-understand manner and ended the meeting, everyone stood up with sincerity and greeted Mr. Q with warm applause. Even if the word "Q" disappeared from the screen, the excitement on everyone's faces was still uncontrollable. , has been whispering about the future of nuclear fusion power generation technology.

After the meeting, there was a fifteen-minute break. After returning to the office, the deputy director of the project, Academician Fan Yiping, drank the wolfberry tea in the thermos cup in one gulp: "'Mr. Q' deserves to be 'Mr. Q', just... After listening to his explanation, I can already imagine the scene when we light up the demonstration reactor after the neutron turbulent flow overload problem is solved!”

Academician Hong Xianhua's usually sullen face also showed a smile at this moment: "You still can't be careless. The successful ignition of the demonstration reactor is not the final victory. The key depends on the stability of the power supply output system..."

Academician Fan Yiping was a little disapproving: "Old Hong, you are worrying too much. The power supply output system uses the magnetic fluid power generation technology that Academician Qin used in his Ph.D. thesis in physics, and it is paired with Qingning Technology's 'dynamic balancing power management system'. In the past two years, it has been fully verified in the 'Zhurongzhiguang' power supply technology system. What else do you have to worry about?"

Academician Fan Yiping shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Old Hong, you are always so rigid and careful, but I understand why the superiors arranged for you to host this project."

Hong Xianhua just smiled and did not answer when he heard this. He also knew his position in his heart. Even though he was a little unconvinced at first, he also had some doubts about why the superiors asked him, an academician with a major in nuclear physics, to take orders from someone whose identity was unknown. He was under the command of a mysterious expert, but today, he was already convinced orally, and sighed in his heart that "the motherland is wise"!

Lao Hong did not respond, but Academician Fan Yiping couldn't help but said: "Having said that, being able to personally participate in such a great project, and even possibly seeing the birth of nuclear fusion power generation technology with our own eyes, is the luckiest thing in our lives. As for who 'Mr. Q' is, it doesn't matter anymore. It's just a pity. Originally, 'Mr.

With Mr. Q, who is almost "absolutely correct", as the commander-in-chief, there is really no need for academicians with innovative ideas and strong opinions. On the contrary, middle-aged academicians like Hong Xianhua, who are somewhat conservative, cautious, and can strictly implement rules and regulations, are more suitable for this role. "Mr. Q".

Academician Fan Yiping smiled and said: "Okay, 'be careful', everything is up to you. By the way, Lao Hong, have you ever guessed who this 'Mr. Q' could be?"

Academician Hong Xianhua looked around. Even though there were only two of them in the office, Academician Hong still lowered his voice and said: "Old Fan, we have been friends for decades. Although we can talk about anything, I still have to remind you. You, please be disciplined and don’t make blind guesses when you shouldn’t.”

Academician Hong Xianhua said softly: "As long as their identities can be made public in a few decades, there will be a day when their names will go down in history."

"Having said that..." Academician Fan Yiping sighed: "But in a few decades, it is very likely that it will really be a 'posthumous name'. It is always a little regretful that we cannot be famous during our lifetime, but we gained this great reputation in vain. , To be honest, I feel really sorry.”

Academician Hong Xianhua shook his head: "Be careful of sailing for thousands of years. After all, the energy generated by nuclear fusion is not of the same order of magnitude as nuclear fission. This 'demonstration reactor ignition test' is related to the future of the country's energy strategy and must not be lost." Otherwise, we will not only live up to ‘Mr.

The original research and development plan formulated by Mr. Q was not just about "stable and controlled nuclear fusion technology", but directly aimed at using nuclear fusion technology for commercial power generation. All the technologies and materials required for nuclear fusion power generation are as high as possible. It can greatly reduce costs and facilitate production, so if it is successfully ignited this time, it means that the nuclear fusion power generation technology is only one step away from the laboratory to industrial promotion and commercial application.

At that time, the news that "Xia Guo has successfully developed nuclear fusion power generation technology" must be publicly announced to boost the morale of the people and the national pride in science and technology - of course, also because once this technology is put into practical use, it will be impossible to hide it from other people. The country's eyes and ears, instead of keeping secretive and refusing to accept the news to make people laugh, it is better to openly announce it and improve the deterrence of science and technology.

By then, the fame of "the father of nuclear fusion power generation technology" will fall on Hong Xianhua and Fan Yiping. "Maybe 'Mr. Q' doesn't want to be subject to too many restrictions and targets."

"That's right." Academician Fan Yiping said with a smile: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The name of 'Father of Nuclear Fusion Power Generation Technology' sounds good and resounding, but it also comes with a lot of pressure, more dangers and restrictions, basically no Maybe when you go abroad, you have to be careful about enemy bullets coming from nowhere.”

Academician Hong Xianhua interrupted: "Let's not talk about this anymore. We can't guess the thoughts of people like 'Mr. Q'. Let's go, Lao Fan, let's quickly implement the experimental plan of 'Mr. Q' just now."

Even though Academician Hong Xianhua seems to be uninterested in this topic, it would be deceiving himself to say that he is not curious about who "Mr. Q" is.

Speaking of experts in nuclear physics, there are more than a dozen academicians and dozens of famous professors in prestigious universities, but Hong Xianhua does not think that they have such incredible technical levels.

He once suspected that "Mr. Q" was Academician Qin Ke. Qin Ke once presided over the "Planet Shield" project. The "Light of Zhurong" used nuclear technology, although fission technology and nuclear fusion technology are completely different. thing, but if anyone could have such "god-level" strength, the first thing he thought of was Qin Ke.

It was just that he had heard the news that Qin Ke had returned to academics and concentrated on studying mathematical and physical theories, as well as teaching and educating people. Especially the news that he had overcome two millennium mathematical problems shocked the world. Hong Xianhua felt that it was unlikely to be Qin Ke. People's energy is limited. It is impossible for Qin Ke to complete so much theoretical academic research and spend countless efforts on studying nuclear fusion technology and guide them throughout the construction of the demonstration reactor.

Later, when Academician Hong Xianhua learned that "Zhu Rong's Light" and more than a dozen materials and kinetic energy high-tech technologies were the products of a mysterious domestic research institute, and that this mysterious research institute has not yet disclosed its name and actual working location, he became even more inclined. It is believed that "Mr. Q" is the person in charge of a similar mysterious research institute. "Mr. Q's" guidance plan is actually the result of joint research by hundreds or even thousands of people in the entire mysterious research institute.

In any case, since "Mr. Q" does not want to disclose his identity, there is no need to go into detail. At least under the guidance of "Mr. Q", nuclear fusion power generation technology is only one step away from success.

Come on! The key to Xiaguo Energy’s future is right in front of you!

Academician Hong Xianhua quickly picked up his mood, and with his partner, Academician Fan Yiping, and dozens of technical backbones, they began to organize a scientific research team of more than 3,000 people to step up the implementation of the instructions given by "Mr. Q" in the meeting and complete the final solution. Experiments on the neutron turbulent flow overload problem.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was Sunday morning, July 7st.

Academician Hong Xianhua and Academician Fan Yiping didn't sleep all night, not only because of their excitement, but also to repeatedly check the status of various operations to ensure that today's "demonstration reactor ignition test" was foolproof.

Not only them, everyone in the "Light of Nuclear Fusion" R&D Center was extremely nervous and cautiously conducting final inspections on all equipment.

Now that the ignition plan has been successfully submitted for approval, I don’t know how many big shots are paying attention and waiting for today’s good news. How could the two academicians Hong and Fan be so negligent that this “ignition test” falls short of success?

Nearly three thousand people were busy and orderly, naturally because many rehearsals had been conducted in advance. What we have to do today is to prepare the personnel and equipment in the best condition to welcome the moment of "ignition" of the demonstration reactor.

In stark contrast to their busyness, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were strolling leisurely on the campus of their alma mater Qing Ning Private High School (originally Sakura Garden Private High School).

As for the two children, Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng, they naturally have their grandparents, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother around them, so they don’t have to worry about them.

At this time, the school is in summer vacation, but there are still many students returning to school, because the school has issued a notice in advance. The school's outstanding alumni and the greatest scientist couple in Xia State, Academician Qin and Academician Ning, will provide services to the senior high school graduates who are about to enter their college career. A lecture will be held at nine o'clock today, in the auditorium where the school usually holds school-wide meetings. (End of chapter)
