Schumaker looked up at the main body of the fusion reactor behind the fence.
Of course he is no stranger to fusion reactors - even among the people who came today, at least half of them are familiar with fusion reactors.
Not only does he work at the European Atomic Energy Center, he is also one of the scientists stationed at ITER in Berlin. He himself participated in the design of the reactor of the International Controlled Nuclear Fusion Program.
But there is no doubt that this reactor, although it also uses a tokamak design, looks more "efficient" than the ITER one in terms of external structure and volume.
After all, this is the first controllable fusion reactor that has operated for more than 30 days so far - in theory, as long as they can establish a tritium production chain, it can continue to operate commercially.
"Truly a beautiful miracle."
Schumaker heard the admiration of the Japanese people in his ears. He turned around and smiled slightly: "Yes, it's a pity that they don't show the inside."
"They are showing this to customers in Africa and Southeast Asia." Takeshi Sakamoto said with a clear expression: "Even we are amazed by it. You can imagine how much it affects those countries that are eager to get rid of energy and need development.
attractive.”
Schumaker was startled when he heard this, and then laughed at himself.
If we are eager to get rid of energy constraints...who can compare with Europe? Who can compare with Germany?
Since the news of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Conference came out, Europe has almost collectively remained silent during this period of time in order to control nuclear fusion, except for a few countries that are not short of energy.
What for?
It's not just about energy.
By this time, the two of them had arrived outside the fence.
The booth outside the fence is filled with information.
"It seems they did use Ye Dy."
"Um."
"It depends on the specific design, I guess we have to wait for the afternoon meeting."
"Yes." Schumaker nodded perfunctorily, intending to focus on the information in his hand.
In fact, everything is written in the information.
Includes design drawings, principles, and some current achievements.
Suddenly, he saw Professor Takeshi Sakamoto's expression change slightly, and then he took off his glasses.
Schumaker was slightly startled: "What's wrong?"
"nothing……"
Sakamoto just raised his head and glanced at several cameras with a wry smile on his face, and was shocked in his heart.
——Just now, Aita's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, telling him that there was no need to take secret photos.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting started on time.
First, the deputy director of the Energy Committee made a brief opening.
Then Academician Luo, chief engineer, came to the stage. He summarized the results achieved by the Kuafu project team so far, and introduced the plan for future commercial operation.
Ye Ming, the chief designer of the Kuafu project, walked onto the podium with his ETA prototype that never left his side.
…
The applause stopped for a moment, and Ye Ming looked at the dark crowd with a smile.
This report cost him a lot of thought.
Because there are many "target customers" present - even though the theory of controllable nuclear fusion is already well understood, but those who can really do it and are qualified to do it...
Let's put it this way, there are only a handful of them.
Don’t even think about it if your GDP doesn’t reach the top 20 in the world.
And even if you reach the top 20, you must have sufficient scientific and technological talents and background.
This is a major national project that is on the way to the future.
Therefore, how to show Kuafu's awesomeness in a language that everyone can understand is a real technical job.
Fortunately, the visit in the morning was very effective, and Academician Luo's report provided a good foundation, allowing him to exert a little more professionalism.
"In view of everyone's warm applause, I would like to welcome everyone again."
Ye Ming made the opening with a smile.
The applause rang again.
"Everyone participated in the tour this morning, which is enough to show our honesty - so there is no need for some friends to take illegal photos."
Ye Ming made a joke again.
From Aita's feedback, there were more than ten cases of various candid photos this morning.
This... I can only say that it is indeed a bit stupid.
Since the Kuafu project team dares to invite a close-up visit to the core reactor, it expresses that it does not mind "leakage" - in fact, one of the themes this time is to open and share the current stage of technology.
Otherwise, why do you think the deputy director of the Energy Committee is here? (See this chapter)
Otherwise, why do you think all kinds of planes were flying all over the sky some time ago?
Of course, it is to establish a real "International Controlled Nuclear Fusion Energy Alliance" that is different from ITER.
"Let's get down to business, please look at the screen."
Ye Ming's voice fell, and the recording screen of the original ignition began to play on the big screen.
To be precise, it is the recording of the ignition at the beginning.
As the countdown ended, the nuclear fusion was successfully ignited. Immediately afterwards, the screen began to speed up, from the X10 at the beginning to gradually speeding up to ten thousand times, twenty thousand times...
On the main screen, which remains almost absolutely unchanged, the most eye-catching thing is the constantly beating numbers in the upper right corner.
When the count reaches 30 days, the video speed returns to normal, and then stops at 30 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 1 second.
"This monitoring record from the last time the fusion reactor was running - we can see that it just consumed all the tritium in the reaction, which also confirms our design plan and achieved 95% tritium reproduction."
"This means that the Kuafu reactor only needs to meet the input of tritium to continue operating. It also means that we have solved the biggest problem in maintaining a self-sustaining fusion reaction - constraint and temperature control."
"Our design plan is as follows."
Ye Ming smiled and turned a new page.
On the PPT, there is a detailed design drawing.
The quiet venue immediately became commotion.
…
Schumaker took a deep breath.
His heartbeat accelerated instantly!
This design drawing is exactly the same as the design drawing in the promotional brochure.
But the difference is that this picture is not only marked with various parameters, but also with formulas!
It can be said that this is a picture...
Main design drawing!
He subconsciously touched his body, trying to take out his notes and write them down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But then he clenched his fist and suppressed his impulse.
Obviously, since Ye Ming dares to release it... he will announce it.
Moreover, this is only the main design drawing, and there are also design drawings for each component - if the design and construction plan of the controllable fusion reactor were on paper, it would be enough to fill a book.
The venue gradually became quiet.
On the stage, Ye Ming's voice sounded again.
"In the design, we did not adopt the magnetic confinement idea of traditional tokamak, but adopted the current mainstream quantum well confinement idea."
"Under this idea, constrained materials are very important - because field confinement involves the limit of electron escape velocity. So far, the material that can operate stably is a dysprosium-carbon mixed crystal."
Following Ye Ming's introduction, design plans were released one after another.
"The last one is the tritium value-added solution."
When the screen jumped, a tritium value-added design diagram popped up.
"It's just a pity that we can only achieve 95% of the added value of tritium at present - that is to say, we still cannot completely get rid of expensive tritium materials."
Ye Ming looked at the audience with a smile.
"But, this is the direction we should work together in the future, isn't it?"
After a moment of silence, the audience burst into applause.
"Controllable nuclear fusion is the future of mankind."
"I don't mean to criticize ITER, but I have always believed that ITER's progress is too slow, and...it has too few members."
Ye Ming waited until the applause stopped and said again: "It should not be controlled by a certain country or a few countries. It should benefit all mankind in a shared and cooperative way - and in a way that is different from ITER.
.”
"Therefore, it is urgent to establish a new controlled nuclear fusion alliance that has no threshold, is open to all countries and regions, and does not carry any discrimination or colored glasses."
"As one of the organization's scientific advisors, it is my sincere hope that fusion reactors can be placed wherever needed in the world - in a fair and equitable manner."
"Because the sun is fair."
"Thanks."
The applause started again, as if it was about to lift the roof.
