Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Not lit ...

The moment the sentence came out, the entire command room was quiet.

The engineers at Rosatom in front of the console looked at each other, and Academician Vasily was stunned.

"Not lit ?! How is this possible? We have all completed the inspection with the Chinese engineers. How could it not be lit?"

The silence in the command room was instantly broken by this sentence, and those reporters who had not yet figured out the situation were even more upset.

Ignition failed!

This is a big project worth tens of billions!

If this project cannot be run, it will not be a joke. It will be a heavy blow to the entire Russian but energy industry, and it will even affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Standing next to Minister Novak, Dean Wang's face was also dignified.

Obviously, he has realized the seriousness of the problem.

Not only did he realize it, but Minister Novak also responded and said with a serious expression immediately.

"Find out what happened immediately!"

The engineer in the hard hat quickly nodded.

"Yes! Mr. Minister, we are already doing this!"

Because of the sudden situation, the ignition ceremony was forced to be temporarily interrupted.

The only good news is that this ignition ceremony was not broadcast live, and the reporters present were all Russian local media. They handed over their memory cards in coordination, so that the impact caused by the accident did not further expand.

At the same time, Rosatom's engineers are anxious like ants on a hot pot, rushing around the reactor, and working with engineers from Huaguo Nuclear Industry Group and East Asia Power to discuss and discuss the core ignition failure s reason.

"... there should be no malfunction in theory."

"But it did happen!"

"I know, but everything went well with the reactor test ... only after installing it, something went wrong."

No problem was always detected on the core. At this moment, the engineer at Hua Guo suddenly said.

"Is there something wrong with the nuclear power plant itself? Like the type of connection-"

This sentence was not finished, and even just halfway through, he was rudely interrupted by Lemontov sitting beside him.

"There can be no problem with our nuclear power plant!" His face was so dark as iron, the unsmiling middle-aged man continued with a bad tone: "I said earlier that these Chinese people can't be trusted! What they gave us must be inferior cores ! "

Although it was a word of anger, when this word was spoken, he immediately stunned Ma Honeycomb, and made the Chinese engineers present with an angry expression on their faces.

In particular, Academician Wang Zengguang was a violent temper in his own right.

"Inferior products? You actually say that the cores we produce are inferior products? Mr. Lementov, I want to know whether this sentence represents the opinion of Rosatom or your personal opinion!"

"Mr. Lementov, please pay attention to your words!" Minister Novak hurriedly reprimanded him, and then looked at Academician Wang Zengguang, who was embarrassed, and calmed down with a soft tone. "Academician Wang, please don't Too excited, I believe Mr. Lementov is also angered. He must not really think so ... "

Lementov raised his chin slightly, and although he did not deny Minister Novak's statement, he did not show any apology.

Academician Wang still has a bit of anger on his face. If it wasn't for the contract, he would have gone away.

Academician Vasily sitting on the side tried to act as a peacemaker and advised both sides to calm down, but it didn't seem to work.

The meeting has reached this point, and it is obviously impossible to proceed.

Even if it is reluctant to proceed, it is foreseeable that 80% of the following content is just a dump of each other.

Rosatom will never admit that it is a problem on its own side. Of course, East Asia Power cannot admit that it is a core problem.

The only thing that can only be prayed for now is that engineers on the front line can bring the ideal news.

No matter which side the problem is, only by knowing where the problem lies, can it be solved.

After the meeting, Academician Wang went to the corridor and smoked.

When he finished smoking a cigarette, Lu Zhou walked over.

At the previous meeting, although he did not speak, he kept thinking about where the problem might be.

Lu Zhou asked, looking at the serious academician Wang.

"how is the progress?"

"It's tricky."

Lu Zhou: "Have you checked the heat dissipation system and He-3 atom probe?"

Academician Wang: "Checked."

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Zhou continued: "Will it be a core trap? I remember there seems to be an active protection measure above, which can forcibly shut down the uncontrolled reactor and stop the ongoing nuclear reaction-"

"Check it, we can check it," Academician Wang Zengguang shook his head. "Where can you think of it, would I not know?"

emmmm ...

Seems like it too.

For a while Lu Zhou was also lost in thought.

The problem seems to be deadlocked.

The condition of the reactor is not good, but the core cannot be started.

After about an hour, the front-line inspection report was sent over.

The initial diagnosis is that everything including the core trap, cooling system, energy interface, and so on, is all normal.

Only the reactor core.

This thing is equivalent to a "black box" for Russian nuclear engineers.

Without knowledge of the relevant technology, only Huaguo engineers can inspect this stuff.

However, according to the agreement, the Chinese side does not need to show complete technical details to the Russian side.

At this time, Lermontov, the person in charge of Rosatom, suddenly stood up and asked.

"Ensuring the normal operation of the reactor is an obligation of your Chinese company. This is written in black and white on the contract. Am I right?"

Academician Wang: "That's it."

"However, the only thing that is uncertain for us now is the component of the reactor core that has not been effectively checked!"

Facing Lermontov's assault, Academician Wang responded solemnly.

"To correct your claim, our engineers have conducted a comprehensive inspection of the core, and you have also read the inspection report--"

Interrupting Academician Hu, Lementov said in a skeptical tone.

"Yes, you did, but who knows if you lied on the inspection report?"

Looking at the guy who kept buckling the pot towards them, Academician Wang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm asking questions reasonably," staring at Academician Wang with narrowed eyes, Lementov continued. "The problem is probably the" black box "of the core now. I have reason to suspect that the problem is here. .In order to accurately identify the cause of the failure, I ask you to issue a complete testing technology to us or other third-party inspection agencies in Russia. "

Academician Wang Shen said: "This is not the same as the agreement said."

Lementov continued aggressively: "Yes, because you did not ensure that the reactor was operating normally, this is your first breach of contract!"

"I don't think there is anything wrong with us, we are actively helping you to solve the problem!"

Even if he continued to refute, it was just a meaningless quarrel. Academician Wang turned his attention to Minister Novak, hoping that he could calm down this guy, but unexpectedly saw that the latter subtly looked away.

Obviously, his opinion was swaying, and he had swayed to the side of Lemontov.

After all, this Helios fusion power plant is not only tied to Russia's future, but also tied to his knowledge.

Maintaining relations with China is important, but this does not mean that Russia will always compromise without any bottom line. Now nuclear fusion power plants cannot be successfully operated, and apart from the objects that cannot be inspected, there is no problem at all.

So even with the exclusion method, he has reason to believe that the problem lies with the core.

At a time when the situation was gradually becoming bad for East Asia Power, Lu Zhou, who had not spoken during the meeting, suddenly said.

"Is it convenient to show me the monitoring data of plasma turbulence?"

"Monitoring data?" Lementov frowned, glanced at the safety director next to him, and then looked at Lu Zhou. "What's the point of the messy data?"

The so-called plasma turbulence data is the change of the plasma motion in the reaction chamber seen through the eyes of the He-3 atom probe, or the popular point is a kind of mathematics describing the trajectory of all microfluidics in the reaction chamber. model.

At the time, this research result can be said to be a sensation in the physics world. Even many scholars in the field of plasma physics have claimed that this is a Nobel Prize-level achievement, which is directly a series of magnetically constrained fusion reactor devices such as stellar Provides a theoretical basis.

However, for most people, this thing is really no different from a clutter of numbers.

Just like the best programmer is unlikely to study machine languages ​​like 0 and 1 because that is the job of hardware such as CPU.

And the most important thing is that the reactor is not lit at all. Even if the monitoring data of plasma turbulence is retrieved, how can it help solve the problem?

For Zhou's questioning, Lu Zhou just shrugged.

"How do you know without trying?"

Lementov shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly.

"casual."

Although he was not optimistic about what Lu Zhou could do with the data, Lermontov agreed to his request and asked Rosatom's technicians to retrieve the plasma turbulence monitoring data.

The data was printed on a 200-page report and sent to the conference room.

Looking at the thick stack of printing paper, Academician Wang's eyebrows could not help twitching.

This is not to say what useful information is pulled out from it, or even to analyze these things, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to read all these papers.

Sitting aside with arms folded, Lementov waited quietly for the next move of the landing boat. Academician Vasily and Minister Novak also cast a curious look at Lu Zhou ~ www.readwn.com ~ want to know what he intends to do.

In fact, Lu Zhou did nothing special.

He just followed the label of the observation time in a very ordinary way, found the plasma turbulence data for the first five seconds of the reactor fault diagnosis, and then glanced at it.

After just five minutes, he put down the stack of paper in his hand.

Lementov's mouth twitched a mocking smile, and said a little ironically, "Did you see what's happening? My respected mathematician."

However, Lu Zhou's next sentence was unexpected.

I saw Lu Zhou dropping the report and said in a positive tone.

"of course."

"The problem is not with the core."

There was a commotion in the conference room.

Obviously, as an authoritative figure in the field of nuclear fusion, Lu Zhou's words are still very important.

The expression on Lemontov's face was slightly wrong, apparently he did not expect that Lu Zhou could really see something from the cluttered data, and it took such a short time.

But soon, his face returned to normal, and he said with a slight disapproval of his tone: "I know, you will definitely say that, or we will say that the problem is definitely not the nuclear power plant itself."

He did not deny his claims, Lu Zhou even nodded.

"You are right, the problem is not really at the nuclear power plant. I think I may know where the problem lies."

This time, it wasn't just Lermontov who froze, the experts from Rosatom company froze, even Academician Wang.

The first response came, Minister Novak asked quickly.

"Where is the problem?"

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"If nothing happens, it should be the power grid."
