From small town scholar to chief scientist

Zhou Yi knew about the news announced by Ugly Nation's energy government and the national nuclear safety government when they released the news.

Although Zhou Yi spoke nicely in front of Tang Shenghui, the threat was not very great,
In fact, the Ugly National Ignition Facility (NIF) was very successful in this experiment.

This can be regarded as the first time that the humans of the water blue star have successfully achieved nuclear fusion ignition-the energy produced by fusion is more than the energy input by the laser.

The $35 billion device carries 2.05 laser beams with 192 megajoules of energy and strikes a fuel tank a few millimeters in size, generating 3.15 megajoules of energy.

The energy output is just enough to burn 10 liters of water from 25 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius.

For a long time, the input of human beings on the water blue planet in nuclear fusion has been less than the output.

Although the energy output this time seems to be very little, and the effect is extremely low, it is actually a milestone.

However, this incident at least told Zhou Yi that artificial controllable nuclear fusion gain greater than one (Q>1) is something that can be done.

Zhou Yi guessed that the Ugly people must have announced it in such a hurry to make money.
Controlled nuclear fusion burns a lot of money.

Before Zhou Yi was studying in the ugly country, there was news that because the NIF had not fulfilled the Q>1 requirement, the ugly country wanted to change the course, and the leader of the NIF (National Ignition Facility) was in a hurry.

However, if the total energy is calculated, the NIF is still far from the output being greater than the input.

The energy required for laser generation, the energy required for maintaining the experimental environment, the energy required for making target pellets, etc.

And these energies are much larger than the energies reaching the target.

That's why Zhou Yi told Tang Shenghui not to worry, there was still a chance to catch up.

Moreover, the NIF's laser is inefficient. To produce 2.05 megajoules of energy, the laser needs to consume 322 megajoules of energy.

In order to realize that the total output is greater than the total input, NIF needs to increase the efficiency by at least two orders of magnitude.

At present, the data released by Ugly Country is the target pill gain. At this time, the gain Q is defined as:

Q = energy released by the nuclear reaction of the target pellet/laser energy incident on the surface of the target pellet.

In fact, there is a certain difference from the gain in our general sense.

The cognitive gain in our simple sense is greater than 1, and the definition of its gain Q should be:
Q = Energy released by the nuclear reaction of the target pellet/total energy consumed by the nuclear reaction.

If you want to go from the first Q greater than one to the second Q greater than one, you have to go a long, long way.

The total energy consumed to cause the nuclear reaction includes the energy from the laser to the target, the energy needed to generate the laser, the energy needed to maintain the experimental environment, and the energy needed to make the target pellet, etc.

The Book of Changes did not deliberately belittle the ugly country, but a specific analysis of the specific situation.

In this regard, the Ugly people are indeed the first to reach the milestone of a target pill gain greater than 1.

Zhou Yi who is strong in others will admit it, and Zhou Yi who is excellent in others will not deliberately belittle it.

It is nothing more than a manifestation of psychological inferiority and extremely low self-confidence by belittling others to elevate yourself too much.

Only by facing up to the strength of others, correcting one's own position, and correcting one's mentality can you make better progress.

In fact, there are two main routes to realize nuclear fusion: inertial confinement and magnetic confinement.

NIF is inertial confinement, which uses laser pulses to heat and pressurize nuclear fuel to achieve nuclear fusion. …

The "Great Xia Sun" we usually see on the news is a magnetic confinement device.

Magnetic confinement generally uses a tokamak, but in recent years, another type of device called a "stellar simulator" has also gained a certain influence.
It can use a powerful ring magnetic field to trap a large group of high-temperature plasma in it, causing it to undergo nuclear fusion.

From a global perspective, magnetic confinement is a more mainstream solution.

That's why the leaders of NIF are in a hurry this time.

Can you not be in a hurry, if they change direction, can they still enjoy their current status?
Is there still enough money?
It's all one word, money.

In the past two years, the "artificial suns" of Daxia and Korea have continuously set new records for high temperature and long-term operation-this is a key means for magnetic confinement nuclear fusion to achieve ignition and output greater than input.

But in fact, the experiments of Daxia and Goryeo are all part of a larger experiment, and they are all for deeper participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).

And the most important tokamak device in the world is ITER,
It is an international cooperation project funded and constructed by the European Union, Ugly Kingdom, Great Xia Kingdom, Island Countries, Tsarist Russia, India and Korea.

Zhou Yi is also very clear about this. I remember that on July 2020, 7, ITER launched the final assembly task in France.

In the plan, ITER is a mission that will last for 20 years. The final mission goal is to achieve an energy efficiency Q value of 10, input 50 megawatts of energy, and output 500 megawatts of fusion energy.

However, ITER is currently facing the problem of delays in the construction period. Moreover, even if ITER really achieves an energy output of 500 megawatts, it is only an experimental project rather than a mature commercial project.

It's too early for commercial use.

Of course, nuclear fusion is not the only international cooperation project.Great Xia State also built the Fusion Engineering Experimental Reactor (CFETR),
It is planned to start large-scale scientific experiments in 2035 and build a fusion commercial demonstration reactor in 2050.

That's why Zhou Yi told Tang Shenghui and the elders not to worry,
I will lead them to break through alone.

After Zhou Yi answered the phone, he continued to stroll around and asked Peony to play the NIF press conference.

Peony said in Zhou Yi's ear:

"Master, I have watched the press conference, let me tell you the key points,

NIF's biggest leaders in experiments, theoretical simulation, lasers, target making, diagnostic equipment, etc. all went to the press conference. "

Zhou Yi said in surprise:
"Everyone here? It's an all-star lineup.

It seems that their biggest leader should be in a hurry. Ugly Country is really planning to change directions. "

Peony continued to say cutely:

"They mentioned a lot of indicators achieved by the experiment at the press conference, and I have to say that it is indeed better than the country where the owner is located.

The NIF device is much better than what is currently used in the country where the host is located. The energy and temperature that can be achieved are still difficult to achieve in the current host country. "

Zhou Yi said:

"After all, they have been preparing since the 60s.

But our country is not weak. Don't rely on my words. According to our current momentum of catching up, I believe it will be a matter of time before we catch up. "

Peony said cutely:

"Then what is the master going to do next QAQ?"

Zhou Yi spit out two words slowly, and said: ...

"6G."

After all, Zhou Yi left the chemistry laboratory.

The battery that was drawn in the lottery may come in handy.

The analysis is completed within one year, and mass production may begin in the second year.

Zhou Yi looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock, and he started to go to Xia Xue's house.

Xia Xue and Bi Qiaoxia should have walked back from the Peony Temple.

After lunch, Zhou Yi and Xia Xue played outside all afternoon,

During dinner, Zhou Yi said:

"Tomorrow, I'm going to leave for Shuimu University. When will you go back, Xue'er?"

Xia Xue said:

"With you, senior."

Xia Huanian interrupted at this moment and said:
"It's been half a month since you came back, it's time to restart your academics, you can't keep playing like this."

Grandpa Zhou Yi also muttered:
"That country guy made big news, we have to work hard, Zhou Yi, you also have to work hard."

Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he didn't expect his grandfather to know,

said with a smile:

"Okay, we'll work hard."

The next day, Zhou Yi and Xia Xue went directly to Yuda by helicopter.

Before leaving Yuzhou, Zhou Yi had to discuss many things with the senior management of Yuzhou.

Chongqing High Court will be formally established soon,
Many details need to be discussed.

Not long after, several major leaders of Yuzhou and the leaders of the education office came to a meeting room.

After everyone introduced each other, Mr. Wang from the education office asked:

"Professor Zhou, the Chongqing Higher Education Institute is currently planning to establish three schools, namely the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the Institute of Physical Sciences and the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, right?"

Zhou Yi said:

"I went to Dongda University to ask Academician Zhang if he would like to come to Chongqing University. I have cooperated with him, so the Institute of Chemistry can also prepare."

Zhou Yi said that Yuzhou's senior officials were very satisfied.

If it goes well, another academician will join.

Another reason why the economies of Suzhou and Zhejiang are so high is that there are many academicians.

There are also a lot of academicians in Shanghai.

Not to mention Shangjing.

If Yuzhou wants to develop further, talents in various disciplines are definitely indispensable.

The number of academicians, to a large extent, measures the economic, cultural, scientific and educational development of a region.

"Okay, then Professor Zhou has worked hard."

Zhou Yi continued:
"In addition, the Earth Dynamics Institute can also be established. There should be a group of people who are willing to do research with me.
And maybe some academicians. "

"Good Professor Zhou."

The senior officials on the side responded and said,
In addition, the popular secret techniques are also recorded.

As for the undergraduate classes, six majors of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geodynamics, computer, and artificial intelligence can be temporarily offered. "

At present, there are teachers in these six directions, and classes can be started in advance.

The principal of Yuda University who was on the side asked:

"Professor Zhou, how many people are you going to recruit?"

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:

"For the time being, there will be one class for each major, and each class will accept 15 people.
After the second year gradually takes shape, the scale of running the school can be gradually expanded. "

The principal of Yu University said doubtfully:
"Will 15 people be too few?"...

Zhou Yi said:

"It's quite a lot. If you can get an undergraduate degree, you can directly train for a master's degree in 8 years, a bachelor's degree in three years, a master's degree in five years, that is, a direct doctorate."

The top leader of Yuzhou on the side opened his eyes and said:

"This is tantamount to cultivating talents for us in Yuzhou in disguise."

Zhou Yi said:

"It's true, so the score line for undergraduates should be higher, at least a line.

Moreover, in the directions of these science and engineering subjects, in addition to geodynamics and chemistry, which require elective physics and chemistry,
The remaining four majors must take physics as an elective. "

The six majors basically involve physics knowledge,

Chemistry and geodynamics are even more related to chemistry, so the majors must be counterparts.

Otherwise, if you are admitted to the high-pressure courses, you will not be able to follow, and you will be expelled directly.

Other majors will be opened later, but they can be gradually released.

Mr. Wang, the head of the education office at the side, said:
"This is indeed the truth. Many undergraduates drop out of Shuimu University and Shangjing University every year.
It's not that they didn't work hard enough, or that they started playing when they went to college,

But many courses are too difficult to follow. "

The president of Yuzhou University reminded:

"Ahem, I have a question, will there be no candidates who volunteer to fill in the Chongqing Higher Court?

After all, after the establishment of Chongqing Higher Court, it is not 285, nor 911, nor is it double first-rate.
At that time, what should the candidates who have just passed the first line fill in the exam and come in? "

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"If you really want to do this, just accept it,
Studying after entering university and studying in high school are two different things.

However, before and after the college entrance examination,
I think our Chongqing University of Higher Education will carry out a lot of publicity, and the number of students admitted should be good. "

The highest-ranking adult in Yuzhou said:

"That's the only way to go. It's always the first session. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and choosing Chongqing Higher Court will be their wisest choice."

The undergraduate, master, and doctorate are combined, and the tutors I follow are all top scientific researchers, which is no less than studying abroad.

This kind of talent can go directly to some 911 colleges and universities after graduation.

Zhou Yi said:

"Now 285 and 911 are full, but the Double First Class will soon be selected by our Chongqing Higher Academy, and the scientific research results will continue to flow,
At that time, the subject assessment will soon be able to reach an A. "

The principal of Yu University said:
"Do the counselors, administrators, and the school's functional framework need to be transferred from our Chongqing University?"

If everyone in the room glanced at the principal of Yu University meaningfully, Zhou Yi said at this time:
"One batch will be transferred, and another batch will be openly recruited. The minimum requirement is a Ph.

The supreme official of Yuzhou said:
"Yes, that's right, academically."

After discussing some details, the meeting ended.

This meeting can be regarded as an initial outline of the operation of the Chongqing High Court.

The rest is the continuous foreign talents or some academicians and officials who have announced to join Chongqing Higher Court.

After dealing with the affairs of the Chongqing Higher Court, Zhou Yi and Xia Xue also got on the special plane back to Beijing.

Going to Beijing at this time still has a sense of the New Year. Zhou Yi wanted to accompany Xia Xue to continue to visit the Forbidden City and experience the New Year's flavor of the Forbidden City.

But Xia Xue refused.

Because Xia Xue wants to graduate early and doesn't want to be separated from Zhou Yi.

If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening.

Zhou Yi quickly entered the state,
Chen Danqi and Zheng Keyu took a three-day vacation for the whole Spring Festival.

I went back on New Year's Eve, and left my hometown on the second day of the first lunar month to return to Shuimu University.

Regarding their introversion, Zhou Yi could only smile wryly, and resting for five or six days would not affect much progress.

With their current level of knowledge, they can completely digest while doing it.

There is no need for such introversion.

However, it is impossible for Zhou Yi to say anything about their spirit.

Everyone has their own thoughts and probably thinks they can change the world and there is no need to rest.

Scientific research is a passion and everything to them.

Just when Zhou Yi was about to plan a meeting, a call came into Zhou Yi's cell phone.
