The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

A high temperature and high magnetic field environment can be created, but controlled nuclear fusion technology faces many technical challenges and difficulties.

The first problem that needs to be solved is the selection and manufacturing of materials under high temperature and high pressure.

There is no material that can withstand a temperature of 100 million degrees in the environment known to humans. No artificial synthetic material can meet the standard.

So we must find a way to solve this problem.

If you want to use nuclear fusion to generate electricity, you have to find a way to ensure that the reaction process is stable and controllable.

The last and most critical issue to be solved is the efficient conversion and transmission of controlled nuclear fusion energy.

There are currently two main solutions to controlled nuclear fusion.

One is to use ultra-intense laser beams to focus energy to trigger nuclear fusion.

Another one is the tokamak device.

Laochuang has always been following the path of ultra-strong lasers, and it has the most advanced technology in this area.

The laser route mainly requires using as many laser beams as possible to focus the energy on one point. The energy input in each direction cannot have the slightest deviation, which is extremely difficult. At the same time, the requirements of ultra-strong lasers on optical equipment are also very high.

The current laser route is naturally far from reaching the level of commercial controlled nuclear fusion.

In the past two years, scientists at Firmenich have often boasted about this technology route.

It was as if they were about to find a way to control nuclear fusion.

But in the past one or two years, scientists related to the research have become noticeably silent and have stopped speaking out.

There is no other reason why this happens.

It's simply because Lao Mei is very poor now and has limited funds.

They have already cut off all the unreliable scientific research.

Scientists who were studying laser-guided controlled nuclear fusion have now had to give up their research.

There seems to be more research on controlled nuclear fusion in the tokamak device.

At present, there are several top universities in China conducting nuclear fusion research using tokamak devices.

Not long ago, the team from Huaguo University of Science and Technology also achieved stable 63-second steady-state long-pulse high-confinement mode plasma operation, setting a new world record.

The tokamak device of Huazhong University of Science and Technology uses a fully superconducting mode. At present, they have solved problems such as radio frequency wave coupling, stable control of highly confined plasma, physics of plasma-wall interaction, heating and current-driven transport under low momentum conditions, and impurity transport and control.

The solution to these problems has laid the foundation for the long-term operation of stable high-confinement modes in ultra-long pulse plasmas.

Zhang Zhipeng is also mainly concerned about the research of this team from Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

The leader of this team is Chang Xiangjun.

Zhang Zhipeng decided that he would go to Huaguo University of Science and Technology to see how Chang Xiangjun's research was going.

Of course, before going to Huaguo University of Science and Technology, Zhang Zhipeng must call the other party first.

Zhang Zhipeng called Chang Xiangjun personally.

Chang Xiangjun was very enthusiastic when he received the call.

He smiled and said on the phone: "Welcome Teacher Zhang to come and guide our work."

"To be honest, although our research has made some progress, we have currently hit a bottleneck and cannot find a method that can sustain it in the long term."

If controlled nuclear fusion power generation is to be ultimately realized, it needs to be able to operate continuously for a long time.

Running for tens of seconds is not even good enough.

At the very least, it has to run continuously for several hours to have commercial value.

But current technical equipment simply cannot run that long.

Zhang Zhipeng set off for Hui Province that day.

Huaguo University of Science and Technology is located in Hefei City, the capital of Anhui Province.

This university is extremely powerful.

Even if there is no super metropolis located in China, it can still rank in the top three.

Huaguo University of Science and Technology still adheres to the elite education model today.

It only enrolls more than a thousand students each year.

Compared with other universities that often enroll thousands or even tens of thousands of students per class, the scale of this school is very small.

But its scientific research capabilities are among the best in China.

Of course, judging from the current situation in China, Huazhong University of Science and Technology can also be ranked among the top five.

Well! Because of Zhang Zhipeng, Tsinghua and Peking University in this life are not so ridiculously strong.

The resources of colleges and universities are now more inclined towards the seven national defense universities and strong schools of science and engineering.

For example, now Northwestern Polytechnical University ranks first in terms of influence and scientific research strength in the country, as well as in the minds of the Chinese people.

Northwestern Polytechnical University can firmly surpass Peking University and Tsinghua University.

As for Huaguo University of Science and Technology, Zhang Zhipeng had previously given a lot of support and even donated 1 million yuan to the school.

Therefore, this school is also very enthusiastic about Zhang Zhipeng.

The two sides have cooperated quite a bit in the past.

Zhang Zhipeng flew directly to the airport in Hefei City.

What he didn't expect was that Meng Yunzhou, the main responsible leader of Hui Province and Hefei City, actually came to greet him in person.

You know, Zhang Zhipeng never notified Hui Province and Hefei City at all.

He just said hello to Chang Xiangjun and told him when he might arrive.

Chang Xiangjun should have reported this to the leaders of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Then the school leaders did not dare to neglect and reported the matter to the higher-ups.

Hui Province and Hefei City attach great importance to Zhang Zhipeng's visit.

When Meng Yunzhou learned that Zhang Zhipeng was coming, he immediately instructed that Zhang Zhipeng must be given a high-level welcome.

Because Zhang Zhipeng is not just an ordinary scientist!
He is also considered a successful national entrepreneur.

The Huaxing Group controlled by Zhang Zhipeng has world-class influence in the fields of automobiles, electronics, smart phones, communications, etc.

Although Huaxing also has investments in Anhui Province, overall, it is not much.

Meng Yunzhou said: "We must improve our relationship with Comrade Zhang Zhipeng and try to get him to invest more in our Anhui Province."

"This is very important to our Anhui Province."

Knowing that Zhang Zhipeng was coming, Meng Yunzhou got up at around 5 o'clock in the morning.

Then the welcoming ceremony began to be arranged.

Zhang Zhipeng's plane arrives at around 10:1.

Meng Yunzhou arrived at the scene before 9 o'clock in the morning.

There were hundreds of people coming to greet them.

The red carpet is rolled out.

The welcoming guard of honor has also been rehearsed.

everything is fine.

Meng Yunzhou asked Chang Xiangjun beside him: "Teacher Chang, you have dealt with Comrade Zhipeng in the past, right?"

Chang Xiangjun shook his head: "No."

"Two years ago, Zhang Zhipeng donated 100 million yuan in research funding to our school, but none of his people came."

"Moreover, it seems that Zhang Zhipeng's donation was not only to our University of Science and Technology. He donated 100 million to Beihang University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology and other schools."

Meng Yunzhou nodded and said, "So, he may not know much about our University of Science and Technology."

"This time, Teacher Chang must introduce our University of Science and Technology to him in detail."

"If Zhang Zhipeng can have a deeper understanding of us, he will definitely give us more support!"

Chang Xiangjun smiled and said, "I'll try my best."

"However, he has just released the Nantianmen Project. If he wants to build the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier, he must use a controlled nuclear fusion reactor."

"I think he might support us with more money to do experiments."

Experiments in controlled nuclear fusion are very expensive.

Without strong support, this experiment would be really difficult to carry out.

In fact, the country has provided Chang Xiangjun with a large amount of research funding, but it is still not enough.

Meng Yunzhou now hopes to discuss investment cooperation with Zhang Zhipeng.

Among the central provinces, the economy of Huizhou is not very good.

Meng Yunzhou was very anxious.

Eagerly hoping to attract some big investments.

Today the God of Wealth has finally come to our door, so we must show him our best.

The cabin door opened and Zhang Zhipeng walked out of the cabin.

As soon as he came out, he heard cheers.

The military band played the solemn national anthem.

There is a red carpet underneath.

There was also a little girl holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Zhang Zhipeng was a little surprised.

This...isn't this reception a bit too grand?

It seems that the people who come to greet me are not mainly from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Zhang Zhipeng's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and waved, then began to walk down the gangway holding on to the ladder.

Meng Yunzhou straightened his clothes and said to Chang Xiangjun, "Teacher Chang, let's go together to meet him."

Chang Xiangjun nodded, and the two of them walked to the front of the gangway.

They stopped only two or three meters away from the gangway.

No matter what, you have to let people come down the gangway and shake hands and greet them.

Zhang Zhipeng is not very familiar with Chang Xiangjun and Meng Yunzhou.

However, before he came here, he had at least read Chang Xiangjun's information and knew what he looked like.

Zhang Zhipeng walked down the gangway, Chang Xiangjun smiled and nodded, then took another half step forward: "Hello, Comrade Zhipeng!"

Zhang Zhipeng responded with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Chang! I have heard of your name for a long time!"

"I am very excited to see the news that we have made a major breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion."

Chang Xiangjun was very happy.

Over the years, he has actually only done one thing: researching controlled nuclear fusion.

When Zhang Zhipeng met him, he boasted about his achievements and he felt very happy.

It is not easy to be praised by Zhang Zhipeng.

Chang Xiangjun thought: My research results on controlled nuclear fusion should be qualified for the Zhipeng Prize, right?

The Zhipeng Award has now become the world's top science and technology award.

The prize money is very high and it has great prestige around the world.

Today, it has actually surpassed the Nobel Prize.

There are few people engaged in scientific research who do not want to win the Zhipeng Award.

"Comrade Zhipeng, you are too kind."

"I am so ashamed! I have only achieved a small amount of success. Compared with you, it is nothing."

Zhang Zhipeng joked: "If you can develop controlled nuclear fusion, you will be remembered forever!"

"What Teacher Chang did was no small matter, haha!"

Chang Xiangjun exchanged a few words with Zhang Zhipeng before he introduced Meng Yunzhou to Zhang Zhipeng.

Meng Yunzhou was ignored for nearly a minute.

However, he looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook hands with Meng Yunzhou, saying, "Haha! I didn't expect that I could actually alarm Comrade Yunzhou!"

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"This specification is a bit too high, haha!"

Meng Yunzhou smiled and said, "I am extremely excited to hear that you are coming over to fly with us."

"Comrade Zhipeng, you are my idol and the scientist I respect the most."

"We in Hui Province need your help!"

"I hope that when you have a good investment opportunity, you can lean towards our province, okay?"

Meng Yunzhou didn't know whether he would have the chance to meet Zhang Zhipeng again in the future.

So, he simply stated his intentions.

Zhang Zhipeng thought, he really wants me to invest.

But this is normal.

Now, attracting investment and developing the economy has become the most important indicator for evaluating officials.

When it comes to attracting investment, of course we must take action when we get the chance.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Comrade Yunzhou, don't worry!"

"I have always been optimistic about the economic development of our Anhui Province! We can talk about cooperation later. For example, we may also build a complete vehicle factory here."

The automobile industry in Anhui Province is developing very well.

The automobile industry chain is quite sound, so it would be a good idea to set up an entire vehicle factory.

Meng Yunzhou was overjoyed.

Now, Huaxing Automobile is the world's number one automobile giant, with annual production and sales of more than 10 million units.

As long as you build a factory in Anhui Province, the scale should not be considered small.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhipeng! Well, let's talk about this matter in detail later." Meng Yunzhou was so happy that he even stuttered a little when he spoke.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Well! Let's talk about it in detail later!"

"I will first talk to Professor Chang about cooperation in controlled nuclear fusion."

Although Zhang Zhipeng had already stated that he wanted to have a good talk with Chang Xiangjun first, Meng Yunzhou still personally accompanied Zhang Zhipeng to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

On the way, he proposed to hold a welcoming banquet for Zhang Zhipeng in the evening.

Zhang Zhipeng politely declined.

He told Meng Yunzhou that controlled nuclear fusion was very important.

So, the reason he came here this time was actually to work and to ask for advice.

He didn't want to be disturbed by anything else until his work was done.

When Meng Yunzhou heard this, he knew that Zhang Zhipeng's meaning was very clear: he would not talk for the time being, nor would he accept his invitation to dinner.

So, after sending Zhang Zhipeng to his place, he said goodbye to Zhang Zhipeng with a smile.

After seeing Meng Yunzhou off, Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said to Chang Xiangjun: "You are so enthusiastic. I feel a little embarrassed."

Chang Xiangjun sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do!"

"Our Anhui Province is relatively backward in economic development. We are even at the bottom of the six central provinces."

"So, we must work harder!"

"Our leaders at all levels are very hardworking and they want to seize all opportunities to develop the economy."

"Teacher Zhang, since you are here this time, they really want to show their good performance and try to get you to invest more money."

Chang Xiangjun is also a native of Anhui Province, so naturally he is attached to his hometown.

In fact, the overall economic development of Huizhou Province cannot be considered bad. At least it is much stronger than Xijiang Province and Xishan Province.

Today's economic development in China is a bit peculiar. Shaanxi Province, located in the west, is now one of the best in the country in terms of economic development, and is even not worse than Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong. It is currently ranked among the top three in the country.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand."

"Let's talk business first."

Zhang Zhipeng now hopes to gain a deeper understanding of how far Chang Xiangjun's research on controlled nuclear fusion has progressed and where their bottlenecks lie.

Zhang Zhipeng had previously conducted in-depth research on controlled nuclear fusion. With the help of reverse engineering, he is now considered a top expert in this field. (End of this chapter)
