After chatting with Peng Hongxi about issues related to controllable nuclear fusion, Xu Chuan did not stay at Qixia Mountain for long.
The subsequent transformation of the Dawn Fusion device and related experiments will still take some time.
Including the optimization of water-cooled divertor hardware and CNC model software of ion turbulence, these can be left to others to handle.
With some experimental data, Xu Chuan returned to the villa.
After taking a hot bath in the bathroom to wash away the coldness, he made a cup of tea and carried it to the study.
In front of the computer, Xu Chuan first sorted out the data and then started writing the paper.
The Daybreak Fusion Device achieved forty-five minutes of high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation, breaking history in one fell swoop and setting a new world record. This is certainly worthy of reporting.
As a phased achievement, its achievements are sufficient to be published in top journals such as Science and Nature.
This is not only his contribution, but also the contribution of everyone in the entire Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project.
For those who have made significant contributions to the Dawn Fusion operation project, a signature on a paper in a top journal such as Science or Nature is also the reward they should reap.
With complete data, it is not difficult for Xu Chuan to write a paper.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you just don’t write down things that need to be kept confidential, such as key methods, transformation technologies, and the like.
As for data, there is no problem in publishing the experimental data of controllable nuclear fusion.
This thing is not like materials or other things. It has been published, and you can only watch it helplessly, wondering how the other party made it.
After checking the paper and confirming that there were no problems and that the names of researchers and engineers who could be signed after discussion were not missed, Xu Chuan thought for a moment, clicked on his email, submitted it to "Science", and uploaded it to rv preprint.
on the website.
For other scholars, especially Chinese scholars, submitting articles to the world's top journals like Science is not an easy task, but for Xu Chuan, it couldn't be easier.
Not to mention anything else, his name is a guarantee that the honor brought by a Nobel Prize or Fields Medal winner is enough for any journal he submits to be taken seriously by review editors.
As for throwing it into the RV, that's a personal habit.
Compared with professional journals, preprint websites such as rv do not have long review times and thresholds. They can let others see your papers and ideas as soon as possible to avoid problems such as stolen manuscripts.
After finishing the paper, Xu Chuan clicked on the web page.
During this period, because he was too busy working on Daybreak Fusion, he did not go online much, and he did not accept interviews from news media reporters. Even if the Daybreak Fusion Reactor achieved a 45-minute operating time, he was not the one interviewed by the outside world.
It's Peng Hongxi.
But just because he doesn't go out doesn't mean that media reporters aren't interested in him.
Since he won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize consecutively in 2018, both domestic and foreign media have become very interested in him and have been following his footsteps.
And he has lived up to expectations and has done something almost every year in recent years.
From the reuse of nuclear waste, to the problem of lithium dendrites and high-temperature superconducting materials, to the NS equation, in more than three years, his achievements every year have attracted the attention of many media reporters.
Especially this time, the Daybreak Fusion Device broke through the 45-minute high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation, which caused heated discussions in the nuclear fusion field and on the Internet.
[Forty-five minutes! Hiss~ Sichuan God is awesome! 】
[Suddenly I remembered the 450 seconds reported a few days ago! It was converted to seven and a half minutes, a full six times difference! I laughed so hard. The old man before said that Sichuan God’s fusion reactor would be successful if it ran for more than 20 seconds. It’s a slap in the face.
?]
[Awesome! Forty-five minutes! How far are we from controllable nuclear fusion? 】
[The important thing is not how far away it is. But it must be ignited first. Hydrogen fusion, helium fusion, and even the final silicon fusion, all need to be ignited here! The first degree of fusion power generation must be in this red
issued from the land!!]
[Pour some cold water on it, the forty-five minutes is a high-density plasma magnetic confinement operation simulated by using helium-3 and hydrogen gas. It is not a real deuterium-tritium fusion ignition operation. There are still many problems to be solved later. 】
[The Tokamak device is a dead end! The problem of magnetic surface tearing during deuterium-tritium fusion cannot be solved at all! If it can be solved, the United States will not give up magnetic constraint to study inertial constraint, and Europe will not give up Tokamak
Studying the stellarator.]
[May I ask what degree you have above? You know better than Sichuan God, right? Why don’t you make it yourself? 】
[Le, when I read the first sentence about magnetic surface tearing, I thought you were knowledgeable. After all, tokamak does have this problem, but after reading the second sentence, I knew what kind of thing you were. ]
After briefly reading a few domestic news reports, Xu Chuan turned his attention to international media.
In fact, the domestic reports are not interesting. Most of the media follow the usual practice of reporting good news and not bad news.
Of course, this time it is indeed good news.
As for foreign countries, it may be different.
The 45-minute operation result of the Daybreak Fusion Device is a blockbuster for the field of controllable nuclear fusion. It will comprehensively enhance the world's confidence and expectations in controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Especially at this point in time, it should be the darkest moment for controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Whether it is magnetic constraints or inertial constraints, they are currently in a dilemma.
Even the International Thermonuclear Fusion Station, an international cooperation company, is constantly delaying construction and ignition due to financial problems.
Not only that, some time ago there was news that the United States will withdraw from TER.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The person who made this decision was naturally the president with cool hair.
For him, quitting ter is not a big deal, because he has been quitting group chats in various ways since he took office.
In his first year in office in 2017, he withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, UNESCO, and the Global Migration Agreement.
So far, more than a dozen different international group chats have been withdrawn one after another. Now it is not a big deal to withdraw from another chat.
However, this is not a good thing for those in the field of controllable nuclear fusion and international cooperation.
After all, the United States is still one of the countries that has gone furthest in the field of controllable nuclear fusion. If it even withdraws, ter may soon fall apart.
However, at a time when the future of the entire controllable fusion industry is bleak, the 45-minute operation results of the Daybreak Fusion Device have brought a new dawn to the industry.
Of course, this will definitely stimulate the sensitive nerves of some countries.
Especially when this result first appears in the land below, and not in those Western countries that consider themselves more advanced, the attitude of the entire Western countries is worth waiting and watching.
It is not impossible to even take some targeted actions.
So compared to these discussions on the Internet, Xu Chuan wanted to know more about the practices and opinions of Western countries after this incident was announced.
Here, while Xu Chuan is reading news reports
The other side of the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
A targeted investigation is also underway.
Dan Brouillette, the new director of the U.S. Energy Regulator, is flipping through a paper just printed from the rv preprint website in his office.
That was the manuscript that Xu Chuan had uploaded less than half an hour ago.
In addition, there is a thick stack of letters and various investigation reports piled on his desk.
Compared to the paper in his hand, these letters and investigation reports have been piled on his desk for several days.
It has to be said that the 45-minute operation time of the Daybreak Fusion Device really touched some people's nerves.
In the field of controllable nuclear fusion, although the United States is not the founder, they have been at the forefront since Hong Su's fall.
However, in this area, their path forward is not as smooth as in other areas.
Whether it is inertial constraint or magnetic constraint, there is no big breakthrough.
Especially in 2012, after the laser ignition of the US National Ignition Facility NF failed, the budget available for the controllable nuclear fusion project fell to the bottom.
If NF could not play a role in the development of nuclear weapons, it is estimated that the supply of relevant scientific research funds would have stopped long ago.
After flipping through the paper in his hand, the newly appointed energy chief, who had been in office for less than a year, threw the paper on the table, pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and muttered a curse in his mouth.
"What a bunch of trash!"
Brouillette is very clear about the importance of controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Of course, he also knows very well how pitiful this technology is.
Whether it is the United States, the former Red Soviet Union, or their superficial ally the European Union, they have all fallen into the abyss on this road. They have stumbled along and are still trying to figure out how to maintain operation for more than ten or twenty seconds.
However, at this moment, the country opposite me suddenly announced a running time of forty-five minutes. How could this not cause a headache?
This is a full forty-five minutes, not forty-five seconds!
And more importantly, these 45 minutes were achieved on the Tokamak line.
Does this mean that the red eastern country is not far away from this technology now?
If so, how can they counterattack?
Isn’t it said that the so-called dawn is difficult even for twenty seconds?
Why did it suddenly become forty-five minutes?
Thinking of this, Bruyette couldn't help but curse again.
"A bunch of liars!"
