Beijing,

Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology.

Academician Zhou is sorting out data from Gyro-1 and the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor. He invited Xu Mang to join the project, which made Academician Zhou more and more confident in the project, although he has never seen Xu Mang publish any nuclear research.

Physics research results, but nuclear physics should not be mentioned.

Not right either,

This guy was indirectly exposed to nuclear physics. He originally developed the epoxy-based composite axial insulator. Without this material, it would have been impossible for the 'artificial sun' to appear in front of everyone.

At this time,

Liang Feng, deputy designer of the Gyre 2 project, came to Academician Zhou's office and discussed the simulation process.

"Lao Zhou?"

“What about the simulation session?”

"Are there any good candidates?" Liang Feng asked curiously: "How about... setting up a separate department, looking for talents in nuclear physics and computers, and studying this simulation problem together, what do you think, Lao Zhou?

"

Hearing Liang Feng's words, Academician Zhou showed a smile and said calmly: "No need... I have found the most authoritative expert in this field, and he will complete this link."

"ah?"

"You...you just said it was one person?" Liang Feng asked with a confused look on his face: "One person...isn't it too few?"

"Enough!"

"If I tell you this name, you will definitely feel that it is more than enough." Academician Zhou smiled and said: "He is an authority on cutting-edge research in the field of physics and is also an authority in the field of computers. Who do you think such an expert would be?"

An authority on cutting-edge research in the field of physics?

An authority in the computer field?

Expert in bidirectional fields?

"Xu..."

"Professor Xu Mang?" Liang Feng asked slightly doubtfully: "After much thought, he is the only one, but... he seems to be involved in more than just these two fields, including materials, electromagnetism, optics, etc. His involvement

The coverage is really too broad, but...I have a little doubt."

"Confuse?"

"Tell me what doubts you have," said Academician Zhou.

Liang Feng looked confused and said: "First of all, we must acknowledge Professor Xu Mang's outstanding contributions in physics, but he does not seem to have published any research reports on nuclear physics. I doubt whether he is qualified for this task."

Work, Lao Zhou... we need to study it carefully."

"actually..."

"Xu Mang has been involved in this field for a long time, but only indirectly." Academician Zhou explained: "You remember that we stopped for a whole month for a bottom part, and then found relevant experts from NTU to solve the problem.

of."

"Know!"

"It seems...it was completed smoothly in the end." Liang Feng asked curiously: "Is this related to Professor Xu Mang?"

"Relevant!" Academician Zhou nodded and said seriously: "Epoxy-based conformal material axial insulator... The experts from Nanda also found others to complete it. They were also stumped, and this mysterious person was Xu Mang.

"

Liang Feng:???

What?

This...it's so complicated here!

But this doesn't explain anything. At most, it shows that Xu Mang has absolute strength in the field of materials science.

"I think..."

"You still have to be more cautious." Liang Feng said seriously: "Old Zhou... Epoxy-based composite axial insulators only belong to the field of materials science. It hardly involves nuclear physics issues. I think we need to discuss it again.

"

The words fell,

Liang Feng suddenly suggested: "Don't we just have a problem that needs to be solved? We can let Professor Xu Mang try it, and at the same time test his research ability in nuclear physics, Lao Zhou... This is nuclear physics, we must

You have to be careful, otherwise big things will happen if you don't do it right."

Faced with Liang Feng's proposal, Academician Zhou finally agreed to this method. He felt that Liang Feng was right on one point. This was research in nuclear physics, and it was completely normal to be cautious. If this thing was not done well, it would easily go wrong.

Big things.

"He will be here in the afternoon. I will mention it then." Academician Zhou said: "Old Liang... you are making it very difficult for me."

Liang Feng smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way...we must control the problem to the smallest extent."

...

afternoon,

Xu Mang stood in front of the door of the Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology. He felt a little emotional for a moment, why not just buy a courtyard house in the capital. We have to come several times throughout the year, so we can't live in a guest house all the time, right?

"Hello!"

"I'm here... for a visit." Xu Mang said to the security guard in front of the gate: "My name is Xu Mang... Do you want to register?"

"Xu..."

"Professor Xu?"

"Why are you here?" The security guard was very surprised. He quickly took out a registration book and handed it to Xu Mang. He smiled and said, "Please register first, and then you can go in."

Swish, swish, swish,

Xu Mang wrote down his personal information in a leisurely manner, but in the column for the purpose of the trip, he wrote the four characters "visit and travel".

"Is this here?"

"It shouldn't be wrong..." Xu Mang stood at the door of the academician's office and knocked lightly on the door. He didn't push the door open until someone shouted "Please come in" from inside.

"Is it... is it Academician Zhou's office?" Xu Mang saw an old man inside and asked cautiously: "Is... is it Academician Zhou? I am Xu Mang..."

"Professor Xu?"

"Finally I've waited for you." When Academician Zhou saw that it was Xu Mang, he stood up and helped him pull out his chair and said, "Please sit down... I'll pour you a glass of water."

after,

After a simple exchange of greetings,

The two of them got down to business, about the preliminary simulation work of Gyre 2.

"Professor Xu..."

"There is something I need to discuss with you." Academician Zhou looked embarrassed and said with helplessness in his words: "Someone made a suggestion to me. After all, this is research in nuclear physics. You are not engaged in nuclear physics.

experience and worry about it.”

"You also know..."

"It is no joke when it comes to nuclear energy. Once an accident occurs... it will have catastrophic consequences." Academician Zhou said seriously: "Professor Xu... I think you should know this aspect very well."

Xu Mang nodded. He had considered this issue before coming here. When it comes to nuclear issues, it would probably be more troublesome. Sure enough...trouble is coming. Since there is trouble, let's solve it. But what kind of trouble is it?

"Then what should I do?" Xu Mang asked calmly: "Should... let me take the test?"

"No!"

"Actually, there are some problems with Gyre 2. As the first large-scale tokamak device with a divertor configuration, it was rebuilt using three major components of the ASdex device mainframe." Academician Zhou said: "So... we encountered

We have reached a problem that cannot be solved for the time being."

"ah?"

"What's the problem?" Xu Mang looked confused.

"The products of nuclear fusion... are generally divided into charged and uncharged. The charged particles will be restrained and the energy will be deposited in the plasma to achieve heating." Academician Zhou said seriously: "But this kind of charged particles are

A kind of magazine that needs to be removed, otherwise it will reduce the fusion reaction rate."

"We have made breakthroughs at this point, but... uncharged neutrons have not yet been solved. These uncharged neutrons will not be restrained. They will hit the surrounding materials and produce huge destructive force."

Academician Zhou continued: "We are particularly embarrassed now. We need these neutrons to generate electricity, but at the same time we want to shield them. How do you think we should deal with this?"

Xu Mang:(°ー°〃)

I...

How do I know?

"I..."

"Shall I solve it?" Xu Mang said with a look of horror: "This...this..."

"Professor Xu..."
