From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The preliminary demonstration took a total of one month.

All the design plans were finalized by Wang Hao. If there are some small and detailed design problems, Wang Hao will also carefully review the design, and then determine the manufacturing plan.

Some people in the research team felt incredible about the process of finalizing the design.

Normally, the person in charge of the project team does not care about the detailed design, such as the part of the refrigeration system, and there are many ways to arrange the refrigeration pipes, which are usually completed by a dedicated team.

If there is a problem in the follow-up experiment, it must be the team in charge of the refrigeration system to study the solution.

The job of the project leader is to grasp the whole, rather than detail to every step of the work.

If one idiom is used to describe Wang Hao's work, it can be described as "do everything by yourself".

In the eyes of many people in the research team, Wang Hao's "do everything by himself", is not like Zhuge Kongming, he seems not to "seriously" handle everything.

On the design of some details, he just looked at a few designs, either directly chose one, or made changes, and then finalized it.

This also caused many people in the research team to distrust Wang Hao.

Because they didn't know why Wang Hao chose that plan, and Wang Hao didn't give a specific explanation.

In fact, Wang Hao certainly knew the reason for the choice of the plan, but because of the heavy workload, he didn't have time to explain it patiently.

The most important thing now is to complete the design. It took only one month to finalize the plan. One can imagine how complicated the research is.

The application of science and technology is not like a theory, he just needs to do research.

Now designing the final plan is not the result. They need to manufacture the corresponding device according to the design plan, and they need to constantly test, adjust and improve.

It can be said that the introduction of the design plan is just the beginning.

Wang Hao's only feeling is that it is very time-consuming. He is used to efficient work and even hopes to manufacture the equipment immediately.

That is obviously impossible.

Wang Hao also knew that many people in the research team were dissatisfied with his way of finalizing the design plan, but he didn't really care.

This is the difference in thinking brought about by status.

Even Liu Mingkun, the deputy director, is far different from him in terms of personal status. He only needs to explain his work, and he doesn't need to prove anything to the research team.

What he needs now is to make a corresponding experimental device, which is to truly manufacture a perfect SMES power storage device.

It doesn't matter what other people think.

In addition, everyone's purpose is to complete the research, and they are at least consistent in their goals.

As long as the research can be completed faster and better, even if there are some differences in the research process, it doesn't matter in the end.

However, Wang Hao also knows the importance of people's hearts, and he is a little worried that there will be problems in the process of manufacturing the device.

So he specifically talked to Liu Mingkun, "Professor Liu, we have been working together for more than a month, and I don't care what you think or think."

"Now that I have submitted the design proposal, the next step is to manufacture the experimental device."

"I hope that the experimental device is exactly the same as our design, whether it is the whole or the details."

The few words Wang Hao said came from the bottom of his heart, but the tone was also a bit heavy, and there were still some words that he didn't say in the follow-up.

Liu Mingkun heard it.

Obviously.

If the manufactured device is inconsistent with the design, even if the selected plan is correct, his deputy director will definitely be gone.

Wang Hao not only found Liu Mingkun, he also found Ding Shengli.

Ding Shengli is a professor of electrical engineering at Xihai University and also participated in the SMES technology research project.

So Ding Shengli can be said to be one of his own.

Wang Hao asked Ding Shengli and Liu Mingkun to be in charge of the device manufacturing, obviously because he didn't trust Liu Mingkun very much.

Of course Liu Mingkun could feel it, he felt a little annoyed in his heart.

In fact, he did disagree on several parts of the design proposal.

There is no point in having opinions now. Ding Shengli is in charge of the device manufacturing together with him, and he can only supervise according to the design.

Liu Mingkun felt slightly regretful.

He is a professor at the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences, and when he heard that Wang Hao established the SMES technology research group, he actively signed up to participate.

I didn't expect...

Wang Hao turned out to be so authoritarian, he made all the designs by himself, and other people's opinions didn't seem to matter.

Liu Minkun could only sigh in distress, "Wang Hao is indeed a genius, a super genius, but genius is only reflected in the direction of theoretical research."

"In terms of research on technological applications, he is probably not suitable to be the person in charge..."

"Academics, theory, and genius are very important. One person can complete the research, but the research on the application of technology still needs to listen to everyone's opinions..."

...

The research team submitted an application for the manufacture of experimental devices to the higher authorities.

This is a big deal.

The manufacture of SMES power storage experimental devices requires a large supply of equipment and materials, and many new designs also require unique and high-end manufacturing technologies.

Therefore, the manufacture of the experimental device itself requires the cooperation of many departments and factories.

The higher authorities fully support Wang Hao's research group, and the supply of all materials and equipment is given priority.

The manufacture of the SMES power storage experimental device is not a small matter. The coils made of a large number of new superconducting materials are very unusual. It requires not only materials, but also the cooperation of several factories.

Many people involved know the news.

Same goes for Pan Dong's team.

When he learned that Wang Hao's research team was planning to build an experimental device, Pan Dong felt a little incredulous.

He was sitting in the office, talking to Deng Jianqiang, "It's only been more than a month, right? All the design plans were finalized in one month? We spent half a year at that time."

Deng Jianqiang thought about it and said, "Indeed, we spent half a year on the design and three months on the construction of the experimental device."

He added, "They should be faster, probably more than a month away."

"That's Academician Wang Hao..."

Pan Dong curled his lips as he spoke, obviously very dissatisfied, "It's only been a month, probably because we have added something to our basic plan, probably because we want to build the foundation."

"In the future, we will continue to experiment and improve. After all the parts are manufactured, there will definitely be a series of problems."

Deng Jianqiang nodded in agreement, "This is just the beginning. Even if everything is manufactured, it will take several months to debug and run normally, and then they will encounter the same problems as us."

"Quench protection is the biggest problem!" Pan Dong said, feeling a little distressed.

At this time, the door of the office was pushed open.

Liang Jingye walked in and said, "Our team has developed a new solution. By changing the detection position, the data is transmitted to the computer for automatic detection. This may solve the problem of coils and heat induction."

Pan Dong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Tell me specifically."

After he finished speaking, he asked Liang Jingye to sit down.

Liang Jingye also talked about it in detail. Generally speaking, it is the adjustment of the detection position and system data, which can make the data changes more sensitive. To a certain extent, it can solve the problem of coils and heat induction in the room.

Pan Dong and Deng Jianqiang nodded frequently after hearing this, and both felt that this new plan was very feasible.

"If we can solve this problem, our progress will be at least three months faster!"

"This is an answer question!"

"Xiao Liang, it's really you, this idea is great!"

The corner of Liang Jingye's mouth couldn't help showing a smile, and she asked immediately, "Mr. Pan, I just heard you talking about Academician Wang Hao's research group. How is their progress?"

"They are preparing to manufacture equipment, and the speed is really fast!"

"No matter how fast it is, it's at least a year away from us!"

"Xiao Liang, with you here, we are not afraid of them catching up with the schedule..."

Liang Jingye frowned slightly, and for some reason, she suddenly became a little worried.

...

The time estimated by Deng Jianqiang was about the same, and the manufacturing of the device took about five weeks in total.

Most of the time is spent on the manufacture of components.

In addition, the installation and debugging of various components and equipment also took a certain amount of time.

To the surprise of the research team, the debugging of many components was very smooth, even unbelievably smooth.

At this time, they already felt that the design plan was unusual.

Normally, when there is a problem with the design plan, the debugging of many components will encounter problems.

Wang Hao was not in a hurry. He handed over the manufacturing of the experimental equipment to Ding Shengli and Liu Mingkun, while he focused on the work of the computer team.

The work of the computer group is very important.

Nowadays, no matter it is any high-tech product, it must have the support of software. In the SMES power storage device, the quench protection of the energy storage coil, the status monitoring of the refrigeration system and the power regulation system all need software for automatic control.

If there is a problem in the software, it is impossible to coordinate the hardware equipment, and various problems will definitely occur.

Wang Hao is very concerned about the work of the computer group.

The working basis of the computer group is the basic code provided by Pan Dong's team. Wang Hao browsed the code from beginning to end, and made certain changes on the basis.

Then he did the module design of the software, handing over each part to individuals to complete, but software problems may still occur, because any program will have bugs.

What Wang Hao hopes to achieve is to minimize bugs and make the background software control more stable. Coupled with stable monitoring, the system is relatively complete.

soon.

A month passed.

The SMES power storage experimental device has been manufactured. The device is built in a large pit with a diameter of tens of meters. The main concern is that there will be safety issues such as explosions.

In addition, when the device is in operation, the high magnetic field inside is also dangerous.

After all the devices were installed, the research team immediately carried out a trial run. As expected, the first run failed.

This is very normal.

After a detailed inspection, it was found that the problem was in the power supply unit, and it was only a small problem.

The second run was carried out the next day, and it turned out that there was a problem with the connection of the line.

This is an error in the manufacturing process of the device.

Then the third time, the fourth time...

The biggest problem encountered in each operation is that the material or manufacture does not meet the standard, or it is the error in the manufacture and installation of the device, which leads to problems with some modules.

For example, the winding smoothness of the coil is not enough, which leads to the instability of the detection and adjustment system.

surveillance system……

Cooling System……

Every part has more or less minor problems.

At this time, Wang Hao also discovered that the research on the application of science and technology is indeed different from the theoretical research. There will be no mistakes in theoretical research if it is in the right direction.

In the research of scientific and technological applications, many problems have nothing to do with design. Manufacturing, materials, equipment, and even human factors will cause some problems.

When encountering a problem, it is not easy to find the cause.

Fortunately, he can always make the right judgment and solve the problem quickly.

finally.

Half a month later.

Under the expectation of everyone in the research team, the equipment has achieved normal operation for the first time, and it is just normal operation, which is already exciting.

At this time, many people have realized that there seems to be no problem with their design, because the equipment is already working normally.

After the equipment was running for five minutes, Liu Mingkun shouted excitedly, "There is no alarm!"

"There is no power outage!"

"Is it working? It's really a success!"

The current scene was completely unexpected. Normally speaking, it would not take too long for the experimental equipment to operate normally for the first time, maybe a few minutes before there was a problem.

The next step is to find the problem and fix it.

Now the equipment has been running continuously for more than half an hour without any problems, what should I do next?

Charge slowly?

The current situation surprised everyone in the research team.

Even Ding Shengli's "insider" didn't expect the device to start normally for the first time, and it went smoothly without any problems.

But how is it possible?

At this time, everyone looked at the experimental device again, and suddenly came to their senses, "It seems that our design is perfect!"

"There was no problem with the normal startup for the first time, and I don't know what to do next..."

"As expected of Academician Wang Hao!"

"I thought Academician Wang was stubborn before, but I was wrong, big mistake!"

"Although I participated in the whole design process, I feel like I didn't do anything. Academician Wang finalized the plan, and that's it..."

"Now the device is running normally, it's been almost an hour, right? In this case, our progress has surpassed Pan Dong's, right?"

"That's for sure. I've heard that when they are at their best, they only run for ten minutes, and there will be an alarm immediately. There are many problems with their quench protection system."

"Why didn't we encounter the problem of quench protection?"

"..."

Everyone's excited, everyone's surprised.

They kept discussing in amazement.

soon.

Liu Mingkun suddenly thought of a question in his excitement, "Now, what are we going to do?"

"Keep charging?"

"But, uh, it's not enough..."

The working principle of the SMES power storage device is that during normal operation, the grid current is charged to the superconducting inductor through rectification, and then maintains constant current operation.

This is the charging process.

The normal operation and debugging of the experimental device is naturally the debugging of charging and discharging.

For the normal operation of the experimental equipment, the first thing is to use the power grid to charge, and the discharge is an experimental operation that needs to be fully charged with one-fifth of the power.

That's the problem.

How can it be easy to charge one-fifth of the battery?

Liu Mingkun said, "If I remember correctly, our design scheme has a total storage capacity of more than 20 million kWh."

"Even if it's only one-fifth, there are four million degrees. When will this rush?"

The others were also stunned.

They never thought that the experiment would be so smooth, and the manufactured equipment seemed to work without any problems for the first time.

Others also discussed, "Just wait like this?"

"How long will it take? That's millions of degrees..."

Everyone can only look at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao stood in the safe area around the device, knowing that everything was normal, he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

He thought for a while, and said, "The power supply of the line we connected is still insufficient, so let's let the device run first and check the situation at any time."

"If there are no problems for three consecutive days, I will apply to my superiors, arrange to connect a few more lines, and test the charging pressure..."

Wang Hao left after making a decision.

The research team will arrange a team to pay attention to the operation of the device 24 hours a day, and report any problems as soon as possible.

Others remained on the periphery of the installation, and it was incredible for them to come back to their senses after the excitement and excitement.

Normally speaking, the experimental device has just been manufactured, and there will definitely be various problems.

Whether it is the refrigeration system, the power regulation system, the quench protection of the energy storage coil, or the overall monitoring system, there will be problems.

Now, where is the problem?

If there are no problems for a long time, wouldn't the research be completed?

But……

Their research team has only been established for three months, right?
