The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 235: Sun-making Plan
Hearing what Xiao Yi said, Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou also took a deep breath again.

Even the old boss knows about it?
In other words, the old leader probably also knew that they were planning to build a new tokamak device?

"How did the old leader know?" Zhao Zhanyou couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "At the National Science and Technology Awards Conference, when I went on stage to receive the award, didn't the old leader say a few words to me? At that time, many people were guessing what the old leader said to me. In fact, he was asking me about this matter."

At that time, the old leader also said that if he needed any support, he could contact him directly. It seems that the promise made at the beginning can now be fulfilled.

At this time, Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou looked at each other. They both went to the award ceremony. Although they did not have the opportunity to win a prize, it was good to be able to take a look. The most important thing was to communicate with those friends, have a drink and so on. This kind of social interaction was still necessary.

Therefore, they all saw with their own eyes that the old leader whispered a few words when he was presenting the award to Xiao Yi.

However, no one knew what was said specifically, and no relevant information was leaked out, and no video was released from the National Science and Technology Awards Conference, so people could only roughly guess that it was an encouragement to Xiao Yi.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi told them in person what he was talking about.

For a moment, both of them shook their heads helplessly.

They were obviously the ones from the Plasma Institute, but they didn't know such crucial information.

Of course, the main reason is actually related to the White House's concern about Xiao Yi's research on nuclear fusion. It is normal for them not to know such news.

Xiao Yi did not explain further, and then said: "Okay, the next thing to do is for your plasma institute to apply for project approval. When Director Liu comes, I will explain the details to him."

"Most importantly, keep it confidential."

Afterwards, Xiao Yi continued to explain the details of the next plan to them, and Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou also listened carefully.

Time passed quickly.

The next day, Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou held a meeting at the Institute of Plasma Physics to emphasize that they would jointly apply with the Science Island Laboratory to build a new nuclear fusion experimental device that would be larger than EAST.

People at the Plasma Institute had no doubts about this matter, because there had been related news before, so there was nothing strange about it.

Moreover, it is just an experimental device, just for experiments, so it is not worth being surprised.

Of course, they were in a very happy mood because they finally had a new nuclear fusion device for them to use.

For a moment, the researchers in the Plasma Institute were all very happy.

Then, the project application was submitted on the same day.

Some people may ask, how can the project application be completed so quickly?
In fact, such project applications are readily available in the Institute of Plasma Physics and you can pick any one you like.

After all, in the past, in order to apply to build new equipment, they had a lot of versions of project applications. From the first version to the Nth version, they kept lowering the budget, but they were never passed. But now they can directly take out the first version of the application, or even double the original budget, or be bolder and just add a zero at the end, and there is no problem at all.

Anyway, the higher-ups will understand the purpose of their application by then.

Of course, they thought so, but in the end they still released it according to the original budget. After all, it had to be kept confidential and could not be too high-profile.

As for the final budget, we will talk about it when the time comes.

Soon, on the second day after the application was submitted, Director Liu came to the Plasma Institute in person and met with Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyu, and Xiao Yi was naturally not absent.

"Professor Xiao is here."

It was still the same safer small room as last time.

As soon as Xiao Yi walked in, he saw Director Liu, who had already been sitting inside, waving at him.

"Sorry, I'm late. I just got here from school."

Xiao Yi stepped forward and shook hands with Director Liu and said.

Director Liu said with a smile: "That's fine, but then again, you're starting classes now."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Director Liu smiled again and said, "Okay, then I look forward to you training more talents like you for our country."

Xiao Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said: "I... will try my best."

Could he still send a cheat to others?
After the greetings, several people returned to their seats. Director Liu looked at Xiao Yi again and asked, "So, the key research you mentioned at the beginning has been completed now?"

Director Liu remembers this incident very clearly.

That is, in March of this year, before the NS equation proof report meeting held in Fei City began, Director Liu met Xiao Yi backstage in the conference hall.

When he asked Xiao Yi about his ideas on nuclear fusion, Xiao Yi replied that there would be a chance only after completing a key research.

Xiao Yi nodded: "It's done."

Director Liu asked, "Now can I know what those key studies are?"

"Naturally."

Xiao Yi then handed the relevant information of MHT-7 to Director Liu again.

Director Liu took it and took a look at it, and quickly focused his attention on its resistance to radiation damage.

Although he is not a professional scientist, he is quite knowledgeable about these things.

However, he didn't know the exact value.

In the column of anti-radiation damage performance, there are quite a lot of data involved.
The atomic displacement threshold is greater than 69eV, the critical irradiation dose is greater than 100dpa, the critical He pinning concentration is greater than 5000appm, and the swelling rate is less than 5%...

There are seven types of data in total, including the four mentioned above, changes in thermal conductivity, changes in mechanical properties, and chemical stability.

He could roughly understand the last three, but he was a little confused about the first four.

But he didn't ask that question, instead he went straight to another question: "So, how good is this material's resistance to radiation damage?"

Before Xiao Yi could explain, Zhao Zhanyou beside him said excitedly: "Of course it can be called the top level!"

"Just look at the dpa value, haha. Dpa means that under given irradiation conditions, each atom in the material has experienced an average of one displacement. If it is greater than 100 dpa, it means that after the atoms in the material have accumulated 100 displacements caused by irradiation, its performance will not change much."

"This means that this material can last at least ten years in nuclear fusion. This directly means the lifespan of the nuclear fusion facility! How long can it last if it is ignited once?"

After hearing what Zhao Zhanyou said, Director Liu understood more or less.

He was very clear that the main problem with previous nuclear fusion technology was the lifespan of the first wall material. It was considered good if ordinary materials could last for a year. As for lasting for ten years?
That's a bit sci-fi.

But now, such sci-fi material has appeared.

However, Director Liu quickly asked, "How many people know how to synthesize this material now?"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, "It's just me."

Director Liu nodded with relief, "That's good, that's good."

The fewer people who know about it, the better. But if more people know about it, it would be a bit dangerous.

Then he looked at Xiao Yi a few more times. Should he arrange more protection for Xiao Yi?

If Xiao Yi was the only one who knew about it, it would be bad if something unexpected happened to him.

As for asking about the synthesis method of the MHT-7 material, Director Liu did not do so. Nuclear fusion has not yet been developed, so any action that may cause leakage should not be taken.

Coming back to his senses, now that these few things have been confirmed, he smiled and asked the last question: "So, now you have a 20% chance of achieving controlled nuclear fusion?"

Xiao Yi told him at the beginning that once this key research was completed, there would be a 20% chance of achieving controlled nuclear fusion.

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, it has arrived."

In fact, perhaps because of the confidence that MHT-7 gave him, he dared to say that he was % or even % sure.

Director Liu laughed loudly, then stood up and said, "Okay, then the rest of the research will be left to you."

"I am going back to Beijing now to report this matter. The old leader has already given instructions before I came. You just need to wait for the news."

"Of course, we must remember to keep it secret. Although we cannot guarantee that it will remain secret forever, we should keep the news secret for as long as possible. It would be best if we wait until the day we officially achieve nuclear fusion before revealing it."

Director Liu emphasized one last sentence.

"must!"

Xiao Yi, Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou also stood up and responded solemnly.

"Finally, you guys come up with a name for this plan, a name for the plan that is public, and a name for the plan that is secret."

Before leaving, Director Liu asked again.

Zhao Zhan lobbied: "Just call it EAST-S." "Eastern Super Ring-Super!"

Li Jiangan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Can you come up with a better name?"

Zhao Zhanyou spread his hands and said, "What name did you say?"

"Uh……"

Li Jiangan didn't know either.

The naming difficulty has struck again.

"It's a pity that we can't find the person who named the Eastern Super Ring yet."

It has to be kept secret after all.

But it has to be said that the name EAST is indeed very good. When broken down into four letters, they are Experimental, Advanced, Superconducting and Tokamak.

Xiao Yi next to him curled his lips, looked at his watch, and then said, "Okay, I'll give you a name, Zaori, as the name of the secret plan."

"Artificial sun, aren't we creating the sun?"

"Okay, it's up to you whether to choose or not. I'm going back to school now. Today is my first time teaching students, so I can't be late."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

The three people who were still struggling with the name were stunned when they heard Xiao Yi's suggestion.

Ignoring Xiao Yi's departure, they thought about it carefully and actually thought that this name was good.

"It's really good."

Li Jiangan nodded, "It feels like our Chinese mythology."

Kuafu chased the sun, Houyi shot down the sun, and now, what they want to do is to create the sun!

Is this a myth?

Of course it does!
What they are about to do next would be a true myth in ancient times!

But it is a myth created by a mortal!
"Okay, the name of the secret plan is decided!" Director Liu immediately finalized: "Now, let's continue to think of a public name."

As a result, the three of them were faced with the difficulty of naming again.

……

On the other hand, Xiao Yi did not consider the issue of name.

The name is important, but it is not important.

It is important to people, but to him, the person who is responsible for "creating the sun", this name is not important.

I hurried to school and looked at the time. There were only 10 minutes left before class. I definitely didn't have time to go to the office to get books or anything.

Fortunately, he remembered clearly what to learn in the first class.

Wang Li drove the car and finally stopped directly under the teaching building.

The classroom is on the first floor, and it is a large lecture hall that can accommodate more than 300 people. Most of the time it is used for lectures. However, because Xiao Yi's influence is so great and there are so many people who want to listen to his lectures, the classroom was arranged here.

There were only 30 students in Hua Luogeng's class, and the remaining seats were all prepared for other people who came to attend the class.

Although Xiao Yi had prepared himself mentally, when he arrived outside the classroom, he was stunned by the scene.

Looking inside from outside the door, you can see that the classroom is almost full of people, whether in the seats or in the aisles. Outside the door, there are quite a lot of people queuing up, wanting to get in. Fortunately, the school has also arranged members of the Student Union to maintain order. The classroom is already full enough, so they are preventing other people from entering.

"It's full! We really can't go in anymore!"

The student union officer at the door shouted.

"A few more people can come in!" the person at the door said unwillingly.

At this time, Xiao Yi also came up, patted the shoulder of the person at the outermost edge, and said, "Please make way."
The man said impatiently: "Don't push. Didn't you see that the people from the student union won't let us in?"

Xiao Yi said helplessly: "But without me, you can't take this class."

The man in front of him immediately turned around and said unhappily, "You think you are Xiao Shen... Oh my god, are you really Xiao Shen?!"

As soon as he turned his head, he immediately recognized that the person standing behind him was Xiao Yi.

His shout also made all the students present look over and then shouted, "God Xiao!"

"Please make way for me, I have to go to class." Xiao Yi said.

Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry; the teachers who were supposed to be in charge of the class were blocked outside by them.

However, they soon made way for Xiao Yi.

But when Xiao Yi walked to the door, someone couldn't help but shout, "God Xiao, we want to listen to your class too!"

Others said the same thing.

Xiao Yi turned his head helplessly, and after thinking for a while, he said to the students: "I know that everyone wants to take my class, and some even take time out of their free time to take my class."

“I appreciate everyone’s love for me.”

"But in fact, this is just my first class, and I don't know how it will turn out."

"So you guys are probably here just for my fame."

"Actually, this is not necessary."

"Taking classes is not about chasing stars. I am not a star, nor am I an internet celebrity."

"So I hope that you come to my class because I teach well and you can learn from my class, not because of my fame."

"Of course, if I teach well, I will also record and broadcast my lectures in the future, and you can also learn from those videos when you study."

"As for today, please leave for now."

After hearing Xiao Yi say this, what else could the students present say?
Although it was a bit regrettable, my admiration for Xiao Yi deepened.

Not a star, not an internet celebrity, but a real teacher and scholar!
As the students at the door left, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Next time I go to class, I have to plan carefully to avoid this kind of thing happening again.

I expressed my gratitude to several members of the Student Union.

Afterwards, Xiao Yi officially entered the classroom.

Looking at so many students in front of me, there are probably more than 400 students in total, both those sitting in the seats and those in the aisles.

However, at this moment, applause suddenly broke out in the classroom.

Someone shouted, "Xiao Shen, what you just said was so good!"

Obviously, they also heard what Xiao Yi said at the door just now.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course, what I just said outside was also said to you all."

"I guess many of the students here are here because of my fame."

“Maybe not even from the math department.”

"In short, I hope you can spend your time on your own profession."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid your professional teachers will come over and scold me for misleading students."

There was laughter in the classroom.

At this time, the bell rang.

Xiao Yi was sighed for a moment.

When he heard this bell in the past, it was to gain knowledge.

Now, it has become about imparting knowledge.

"Okay, students, class begins!"
