From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 425 The road to success, the experiment of a group of four
【Two chapters in one】

Lin Xiao's narration was over, and it was time for everyone to ask questions.

Regarding the proof method used by Lin Xiao in this thesis, many people present still had certain problems, including doubts about Lin Xiao's proof process.

However, Lin Xiao naturally gave perfect answers to these questions.

For him, every time he writes a thesis, he is almost more than 100% sure of the proof ideas and process of the whole thesis - as for the part of the more than 100% sure, it comes from the fact that he can even easily more derivations of these papers.

So it is precisely because of this that he never worries that he will not be able to answer in his own report meeting.

So just like that, this report meeting finally came to an end.

"Then, thank you for your patience. This academic report will come to an end."

At this point, Lin Xiao's voice paused again, and then he said with a little humor: "However, the academic report is over, but our academic journey is not over yet."

"Although the three fundamental forces have been unified, the graviton, which has just been successfully incorporated into quantum mechanics, is still being watched from afar."

"The unification of the four fundamental forces is what we are currently pursuing in physics, and in the future, none of us can guarantee whether we will find other interaction forces, just like the latest data obtained by our CEPC , compared with the data we once obtained at the LHC, it is obviously going to become more complicated, and this is most likely due to the disturbance brought by the higher collision energy."

"But—in these disturbances, there may be hidden new things that our physics is more eager to discover."

"Just like my multidimensional field theory, although multidimensional field theory is a new physics for us, after all, multidimensional field theory involves our generalized universe—that is, the universe from the lowest dimension to the highest dimension, but we live in our This universe, in the narrow sense of the universe, so, I think, a better understanding of the universe we live in may be more critical."

"So, let me wish all my friends that we can make our physics more brilliant and find out the greater and mysterious secrets that belong to this universe."

"I believe that we humans will one day see the ultimate truth of the universe—with the efforts of everyone present."

"So, here we go, goodbye, everyone."

Lin Xiao bowed deeply, and then walked off the podium gracefully.

Everyone in the audience applauded warmly after Lin Xiao's last sentence, to express their gratitude to Lin Xiao for this academic report.

Thanks to him for his contribution to physics again.

Also thank him for his blessing on physics at the end.

And Lin Xiao walked from the stage to the audience, and the people in the first row of seats all turned their eyes to him.

The first row was filled with well-known physicists who had communicated with Lin Xiao a lot in the past. At this time, they all got up, surrounded Lin Xiao, and chatted with him.

Of course, the main thing was to congratulate Lin Xiao.

And Lin Xiao naturally smiled and chatted with everyone.

"However, Professor Lin, I still have a regret about your report this time."

Everyone was chatting with smiles, and a voice sounded, making everyone curious, why did you say that?

This report meeting is obviously perfect, right?

However, the physicist who said this quickly gave an explanation: "Professor Lin's report today is still missing a surprise link."

Hearing this explanation, these people suddenly laughed.

That's true, indeed, there is still a surprise link missing, Xiang Lin Xiao's previous report meeting, but it often brought them surprises.

But Lin Xiao couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and waved his hands again and again and said: "Hey, what do you think of me, and since you all said it was a surprise, how could it be possible to have it all the time."

Everyone present laughed together and said, "Who told you to be Lin Xiao!"

Lin Xiao rubbed his nose, then waved his hand, and said, "Wait until next time, maybe there will be a surprise in the next report?"

"Okay, Professor Lin has said so, then we can all wait."

The people present all laughed.

Lin Xiao gave an OK gesture.

Of course, the devil knows if he can come up with such a silly surprise next time.

It's all by chance.

What's more, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next academic report.

After all, he will devote all his thoughts to the Golden Crow's plan next.

Next, I chatted with these physicists, and some of them even invited him to cooperate in research on gravitons and some extended research after the unification of the three forces. For these, Lin Xiao naturally recommends all of them. Lost.

After dealing with matters in Shangjing, he got on the plane to Jinmen City.

The chief engineer of the Golden Crow Project is going back to his place.

……

Back to the Golden Crow Project, after so many months of construction, many buildings have been built here, including the most critical research institute for scientists like them.

As soon as Lin Xiao arrived here, he held a meeting to learn about the current progress of various projects.

For the Jinwu reactor they plan to build, the planned specifications have basically been determined. First of all, this Jinwu reactor needs to meet the power supply needs of at least how many cities.

According to their current plan, the city that the Golden Crow Plan needs to meet first is the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic circle, and then if there is spare capacity, it will then satisfy the surrounding major cities.

In addition to considering the power supply needs of how many cities to meet, this power supply demand also needs to take into account the substantial increase in future electricity demand.

After all, when controllable nuclear fusion is really realized, the reduction in electricity prices will inevitably lead to a substantial increase in electricity demand. At that time, more factories will be opened and established, so if the power of the fusion power station built now can only meet the current requirements If the demand is high, it will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of power shortage again.

And their plan for this is at least five times the current peak power demand.

This is not difficult, especially for controllable nuclear fusion.

However, in addition to this point, there is another point, and that is the way of generating electricity.

Because the power generation method determines the final power generation efficiency.

Even though the total energy that can be produced by controllable nuclear fusion is very large, if the conversion efficiency is not high, it will always be useless.

And this became their main discussion point in the meeting after Lin Xiao came back.

"As for this issue, we can only boil water."

Li Gang, the deputy chief engineer, spread his hands and said.

"Well, I heard that some time ago, a research institute in our country developed a 750-degree water evaporation and pressurization device, which can be used at that time. By then, our conversion rate can barely reach 1%?" As the preparatory working group Song Tao, the team leader, said.

The others present also nodded.

For people like them, boiling water is the best way to generate electricity.

In fact, boiling water is also the most ideal device for them.

Even the Dongfang Super Ring uses a steam turbine engine for experimental power generation.

Specifically, it is by continuously boiling water, and then using the power of steam to drive the steam wheel to rotate, and then generate electricity by cutting the lines of magnetic induction.

And this way of generating electricity has not changed for hundreds of years.

As for the so-called 750-degree Celsius water evaporation and pressurization device, it pressurizes their water heaters to increase the evaporation temperature of the water from 100 degrees Celsius to 750 degrees Celsius. In this way, the conversion efficiency of the steam turbine engine can be improved. .

"Hey, maybe not even 1%."

Someone shook his head helplessly and said.

For such a low conversion efficiency, they have no good way, so no matter how disgusted they are, they can only accept this helpless thing.

However, at this moment, Li Gang turned his head to look at Lin Xiao, and suddenly found that he looked thoughtful, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lin, do you have any thoughts?"

Everyone present also looked at Lin Xiao, but in the eyes of most people, Lin Xiao probably had nothing to do about it.

However, Lin Xiao said: "Don't tell us, haven't you considered the magnetic fluid generator?"

Everyone in the audience looked at each other for a moment, and then asked Lin Xiao in doubt: "Mr. Lin, are you sure? Magnetic fluid generator?"

Everyone can think of the advantages of magnetic fluid generators in the conversion efficiency of controllable nuclear fusion energy, but considering the lack of power of magnetic fluid generators, they are almost all passed in the first place.

But Lin Xiao still nodded, and then said: "I understand your concerns. If a magnetic fluid generator is used, the positive and negative plates of the magnetic fluid generator need to directly withstand the extremely high temperature plasma flow."

"However, for this, we might as well think about it, whether we can inject some alkaline metals to cool down these high-temperature plasma flows when the high-temperature plasma flows enter the magnetic fluid generator?"

"And these alkaline metals will also turn into plasma beams at this high temperature, and then provide more electrons for our magnetic fluid generators, thereby increasing the power generation rate, and in this way, our use of temperature become higher."

"In addition, these things still have some waste heat, we can also continue to use this waste heat, connect the magnetic fluid generator plate to a turbo generator, and then continue to use this waste heat to boil water? "

When he said this, Lin Xiao suddenly stood up, and then began to write various calculation formulas on the blackboard next to him.

These calculation formulas are very simple, and everyone present can understand them. Of course, what they care about is not whether the calculation formulas are simple or not, but what these calculation formulas reflect.

Until the end, when Lin Xiao wrote [η=15.6%], they all sat up straight for a while, with surprised expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean, according to your method, the final total power can reach 15.6%?!"

15.6%!

This efficiency, placed in other places, is not a conspicuous efficiency, but it can be called useless efficiency.

After all, the efficiency of the current thermal power generation has reached more than 40%, and the efficiency is less than 20%, which is not cared about by other ordinary power generation methods.

But the difference now is that their power generation method is not an ordinary power generation method, but controllable nuclear fusion!

And the power generation of the 15.6% conversion rate given by Lin Xiao is also 15.6% of nuclear fusion!

One gram of deuterium-tritium fusion can fully produce 3360 billion joules of energy.

And one kilogram of standard coal can only produce 2926 million joules of energy.

There is a gap of four orders of magnitude between the two, which shows the horror of nuclear fusion.

Considering the energy conversion rate of the two, according to Lin Xiao's 15.6% conversion rate, while the thermal power conversion rate is 40%, that is to say, the gap between the two is still more than 4000 times.

This is the energy of the sun.

This is why it is said that nuclear fusion can solve human energy problems.

Even if the conversion rate of nuclear fusion is only [-]%, it is many times that of thermal power generation, let alone its effect on environmental protection as a clean energy source.

Everyone in the conference room seemed to be pulled into fantasy by the percentage given by Lin Xiao.

However, they soon returned to their senses.

Although the numbers are ideal, the real problems they have to face are very skinny.

"No, no, Mr. Lin, even so, it's a very good idea to put in alkaline metals to cool down the temperature you said, but the final temperature should be at least tens of thousands of K? Regarding this situation, you How to solve it?"

And Lin Xiao smiled, "Did you overlook one point? The material I was going to study was the inner wall material. If the inner wall material can withstand neutron bombardment in the end, do you still need to worry about these problems?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, these people suddenly woke up as if they were enlightened.

Oh yes!

They actually forgot about this.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Their thinking habits are still in the state of [there is no such material], so they haven’t thought about it after discussing it for so long.

And Lin Xiaoke is a person who is committed to researching this kind of material. Of course, he has always considered the existence of this kind of material.

Li Gang immediately asked: "By the way, Mr. Lin, how is your research on this issue?"

Everyone present also turned their attention to Lin Xiao.

The people here are basically people who have heard Lin Xiao talk about the inner wall material of the tokamak device at the plasma institute, so for some time ago, Lin Xiao left their Golden Crow Project and went to CEPC to study There is nothing dissatisfied with the matter.

Because they all know that the purpose of Lin Xiao's going to CEPC is still in their Golden Crow Project, which is to unify the strong interaction force with the other two interaction forces.

But now, Lin Xiao has really realized this, so they all want to know whether Lin Xiao's original opinion can be realized now.

In the face of these people's inquiries, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and then said: "I think my original guess can be realized."

Everyone in the audience suddenly became excited.

According to Lin Xiao, then...

They all looked at each other, and at this moment, they seemed to be able to see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Because this means that they will have a chance to succeed!

And if Lin Xiao's original conjecture was wrong, it would mean that one of their visible roads would be blocked. At that time, they must find another road as soon as possible, otherwise, their Golden Crow plan would be destroyed. , it has to become the research plan of the Jinwu superconducting tokamak controllable nuclear fusion experimental device.

But now this road is not blocked, that is to say, they can continue to walk.

"Boss Lin, I will leave all of this to you."

Li Gang straightened his face and said to Lin Xiao.

The others said the same to Lin Xiao.

No matter what, as the chief engineer, Lin Xiao still has to shoulder the most critical task.

The rest of them can only place their hopes on Lin Xiao.

"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to expectations."

Lin Xiao nodded, and his expression became serious.

Next, is the final level sprint.

He is also ready.

No more than a few hundred truth points at most.

With the truth alone as the base, he was not panicked, and even his eyes revealed a kind of confidence.

And his self-confidence made others feel that the tens of billions of investment from the country and the heavy responsibility for them that were suppressed in their hearts seemed to be much lighter at this moment.

Although I don't know where Lin Xiao's self-confidence comes from, I just believe in Lin Xiao.

Next, the meeting will continue. Of course, the next thing is not particularly important. It is enough to discuss the details. Soon, the meeting will end.

"Then let's not bother Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, our Golden Crow Project is all on your head."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Just don't worry."

"Ah."

Soon, these people all left, and Lin Xiao also returned to his office.

The office is brand new and a bit unfamiliar. Of course, no matter whether it is new or old, as long as you find a computer, pen and draft paper, it is familiar to Lin Xiao.

Soon, he took the draft paper and started his own research.

In fact, after so many days of hard work, he has already learned enough about this problem. With his intuition of mathematics and physics, there must be some way to strengthen the relationship between the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic interaction force. The relationship, after all, these two interaction forces, is inherently unified, and this has also been confirmed in their CEPC experiments.

"But the most critical question is how to stimulate this state."

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin and suddenly had a guess.

"By the way, since it has been proved in the CEPC experiment that under the capacity of 110 TeV, the electroweak and strong interaction forces can be unified, what about neutrons with a temperature of [-] million degrees?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment.

Of course, it is inappropriate in physics to consider temperature for microscopic particles.

Because temperature is only a macroscopic quantity, it is finally reflected in the microscopic state, which is the movement speed of these microscopic particles.

The faster the particle moves, the higher the temperature will be reflected in the macroscopic performance.

Why the temperature will only pass from high to low, but not the other way around, it can be understood that the part of the particle with the higher temperature moves faster, so when it encounters the part with the lower temperature and the slower part of the particle, the speed of the two Naturally, it is average, just like billiards.

The neutrons produced in nuclear fusion are extremely fast-moving particles, and because they are not charged, they will not be limited by the magnetic field, so they will directly hit the particles on the inner wall of the device, and these particles that have passed through The particles connected together by the interaction force are directly knocked apart.

"And in this way, wouldn't it be possible to use the energy of these neutron collisions to realize the joint performance of strong interaction force and electromagnetic interaction force?"

"Then...you can use a special method to stimulate the strong interaction force of these inner wall materials..."

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.

At this moment, he has found the real path to success.

…………

……

Dingguang Research Institute, in a certain laboratory.

The four intern graduate students who were lucky enough to get 40 yuan from Lin Xiao were working on the most critical step in their project.

"Hurry up, use the recorder to record it, it cost 20 yuan!"

"Okay, okay, I'm ready, don't worry!"

An urgent voice sounded, and they had entered the final key.

Until half an hour later.

"It's done, go and see the result!"

"Well... this result..."

The four fell into a moment of doubt.

"Isn't this result a bit wrong?"

For a moment, they all thought miserably, their 20 was given for nothing?
