Chapter 222: The merit lies in the present time and the benefit lies in the future
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, Qin Anguo's eyes shrank and his breathing quickened.
Fifty to eighty percent efficiency, which is terrifying.
According to his current understanding, when countries around the world use nuclear waste to generate electricity, the highest efficiency is less than 5%.
Fifty percent, this efficiency doubled.
If it can be realized, nuclear power plants will be promoted on a large scale, and how to deal with the nuclear waste generated will no longer be a problem.
"Can such a conversion efficiency really be achieved?" Qin Anguo asked with some hope after a long time.
Xu Chuan nodded affirmatively and said: "That's for sure. We didn't find a suitable method before, but now I have completed the relevant theories and papers."
On the side, the old man's breathing was slightly heavy, as if he was digesting this information. After a while, he asked: "Can you do it?"
He didn't know much about the technical details related to reusing nuclear waste to generate electricity.
But he knows very well that how to deal with nuclear waste from nuclear power plants has always been an "epic" problem.
If there is no breakthrough in preservation technology and it still needs to be preserved for 100,000 years as it is now, I am afraid that all the income from nuclear power plants will not be enough to preserve nuclear waste for 100,000 years.
What is even more dangerous is that the generation of electricity from nuclear power plants is a benefit for the current generation, but the preservation of nuclear waste is a matter for future generations.
If a generation of future generations doesn't care about it, or they don't have the money to take care of it, what will happen to these nuclear wastes?
Should you let it leak out and pollute your living environment?
If this problem can be solved, it will really benefit the present generation, benefit future generations, and benefit future generations.
Xu Chuan nodded: "I can give it a try, but I need to conduct experiments to improve the theory, and I also need help."
"What help do you need?" the old man asked.
"Establish a research institute, as well as talents in corresponding fields, scientific research funding, and relevant political support." Xu Chuan said.
The old man nodded: "These are all fine."
...
In the antique building, Xu Chuan and the old man chatted for a long time.
From the reuse of nuclear waste to the ultimate goal of controlled nuclear fusion...
From domestic education development to changes in scientific research funding, intellectual property rights, etc.....
The two talked about a lot of things.
But apart from expressing some of his own opinions on technology and some judgments on future development forms, Xu Chuan did not talk much about other things.
In fact, it is not his turn to intervene in system changes or anything like that.
He is not very interested in things other than academics.
What's more, every country has a different culture and history, and things from abroad don't necessarily taste good.
Sometimes when many things are introduced into the country, they will not adapt to the local environment. If you blindly study without thinking about it, you will lose your own advantages.
Rather than doing these "layman" jobs, Xu Chuan would like to see further places.
The unfinished work, the areas that have come to an end...
He wanted to give it a try, make a breakthrough, and see the unknown scenery.
As for other things, he doesn't really care.
...
After following the guard out of the small building, Xu Chuan looked up at the blue sky, which was dotted with a few scattered white clouds.
From now on, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
On the street, a black domestically produced Hongqi car stopped there. After bringing Xu Chuan over, the guard saluted and turned to leave.
Next to the red flag vehicle, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance came up to him.
"Professor Xu, hello, my name is Zheng Hai, I am the driver of the Organization Department. If you need a car to travel, just ask me."
After seeing Xu Chuan, the middle-aged man standing by the car quickly walked over and introduced himself.
Xu Chuan nodded and looked up and down at the middle-aged man named Zheng Hai.
Although he introduced himself as a driver, and his appearance seemed to be the kind of person who would be hard to find in a crowd, the upright posture he stood in and the energy with which he introduced himself told him where this person was from.
.
But Xu Chuan didn't care. He shook hands with a smile and said, "Hello, Brother Zheng."
Hearing the title of Brother Zheng, Zheng Hai quickly declined and said: "Professor Xu can call me Xiao Zheng Xiaohai or whatever my name is. I can't bear the title of Brother Zheng."
Xu Chuan smiled, not paying attention to these details, and said: "Then I will trouble you more in the future."
Zheng Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is my responsibility, there is no need to worry about it. Do you want to travel now?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Please send me to Shuimu University."
Although I have talked with that person today and confirmed some general things, he still has a lot of things to do.
Since the first project to be launched was the "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion into Electric Energy Mechanism" project, he needed to recruit a group of people to help.
There are not many schools in China with departments of nuclear science and technology and nuclear industry.
Shuimu and Peking University definitely have them, as well as universities like Hua Ke University, South China University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Eastern Institute of Technology, and Jiaotong University.
On the other hand, NTU has a physics department, as well as research and talent training in nuclear physics, but it is not large-scale.
NTU is good at theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, acoustics, optics, atomic and molecular physics, particle physics... These are not research areas in the field of nuclear physics.
Otherwise, he doesn't need to find additional people, he can just go back to Nanda and form a team.
He is still willing to take care of his alma mater, but unfortunately his alma mater cannot support what he needs.
Of course, the team members above will also help with things like this.
However, ordinary scientific researchers can help solve the problem, but Xu Chuan wants to find a leader to lead the entire project himself, and he has a suitable candidate in mind.
...
Zheng Hai drove Xu Chuan all the way to Shuimu University.
"We will be there soon, Professor Xu, do you need me to take you in?" On the road, Zheng Hai looked forward and asked Xu Chuan behind the car.
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, go in, and then just find a place to put me down."
"Okay." Zheng Hai nodded and modified his route.
As one of the two most famous top universities in China, Shuimu University has a small number of tourists from other places every day who want to visit this dreamy college.
However, correspondingly, tourists may not enter at all times.
Shuimu University is generally open to the public only on weekends, statutory holidays, winter and summer vacations, and is not open to the public at other times.
This is normal. As the top university, Shuimu has countless students and precious scientific research facilities.
Moreover, a school is a school after all, and it is a place for students to study. Too many foreign tourists can easily disturb students' normal learning.
Today is not a Saturday or Sunday, and Shuimu is not open to the public.
But for Xu Chuan, this is not a problem. Zheng Hai can handle this, so he is too lazy to call others.
Why wait for a long time at the school gate when you can go in directly?
.....
All the way to the Engineering Department, Xu Chuan looked up at the huge Engineering Teaching Building and walked towards it.
The Department of Engineering Physics of Shuimu University, the full name of the Department of Engineering Physics of Shuimu University, mainly studies nuclear technology. It has majors in engineering physics, engineering energy physics experiments, engineering oriented physics, nuclear engineering and nuclear technology, and oriented nuclear technology.
It was established very early and was officially established in 1956. The success of China’s first atom, Miss Qiu, was also inseparable from the support of talents from the Department of Engineering and Physics of Shuimu University.
Xu Chuan appeared below the teaching building without attracting anyone else's attention.
The students here came with books in hand and regarded him as a student.
After all, in terms of appearance and age, there is no difference between him and an undergraduate.
"Classmate, excuse me, where is Professor Peng Hongxi's office?" Xu Chuan asked a student casually in the teaching building.
"Professor Peng Hongxi?" Hearing this name, the boy who was pulled for information was obviously stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Academician Peng has retired and is not here. If you want to find him, you have to go to the faculty and staff.
Over there at the family home."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment. Professor Peng retired? He really didn't know about this.
He vaguely remembered that this person was still in office when he was over eighty years old?
But considering his age, retirement is normal. Maybe he was invited out after retirement.
The boy who was pulled to inquire about the news picked up his schoolbag and then reminded: "In addition, Academician Peng usually does not meet outsiders. If you have any questions and want to ask for advice, it is best to find someone else or send him an email and call him first to make an appointment.
"
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you."
The boy asked curiously: "Classmate, are you a student in the Department of Engineering Physics?"
Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "No."
"That's it, I mean why I've never seen you before." The boy muttered, then looked at Xu Chuan: "Then you are across from me?"
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then realized where the other person was pointing, and smiled suddenly: "No."
"Then what are you doing with Academician Peng?" The boy frowned and looked up and down again, as if he was speculating on something.
Before Xu Chuan could answer, a question that was half question and half surprise came to his ears.
"Are you Professor Xu Chuanxu?"
Xu Chuan looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing aside, with surprise and confusion on his face, as if he didn't believe he would appear here.
After looking at the middle-aged man and confirming that he did not recognize him, Xu Chuan asked: "I am, who are you?"
Upon hearing his affirmative answer, the middle-aged man walked over quickly in three steps at a time, extended his hands enthusiastically, and put on a bright smile on his face.
"Hello, Professor Xu, my name is Qiu Hongyi, and I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University. Your reports at the International Mathematics Conference were the two most exciting ones I have ever seen."
Qiu Hongyi held Xu Chuan's hands enthusiastically, shook them vigorously, and flattered him at the same time: "Professor Xu, you didn't even say hello when you came, we didn't even arrange to welcome you."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "You're too polite. There's no need to greet you. I just came here for a stroll and to see Professor Peng Hongxi."
"Academician Peng, I'm not sure where he is now, but I'll find someone to help you ask." Qiu Hongyi said, taking out his cell phone and trying to call someone.
On the other side, after being reminded by Professor Qiu Hongyi, the student who was still standing there being asked for directions by Xu Chuan looked at Xu Chuan in disbelief and stood there with his mouth open.
Xu Chuan?International Mathematical Congress?
That God of Sichuan who won the Fields Medal?
Damn it!
What was I thinking just now? I almost thought that God of Sichuan was a walking 500,000 yuan?
I really deserve to die!
Hearing the words of looking for someone, the boy suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Professor Qiu, Professor Xu, and Academician Peng should be at the Advanced Radiation Source Application Laboratory now. How about I take you there?"
"Then I'll trouble you." Qiu Hongyi said with a smile, putting down the phone.
Xu Chuan, on the other hand, looked at the student with a smile.
He also said before that Peng Hongxi was in the Faculty College, which would become the Advanced Radiation Source Application Laboratory.
It's interesting. Are you worried that he is a bad person?
"No trouble, no trouble." The boy, carrying his schoolbag, took the lead and walked quickly towards the Advanced Radiation Source and Application Laboratory.
The distance is not very far, and the three of us arrived in a few minutes.
The boy who led the way seemed to be very familiar with this place. He led Xu Chuan and Qiu Hongyi to find the office of Academician Peng Hongxi.
After knocking on the door, a sound soon came from inside.
"What's the matter? Chang Kai."
Peng Hongxi looked at the student who walked in and asked. He knew this student. He was his student's student's student.
"Professor, someone is looking for you." Chang Kai, who was leading the way, said respectfully and stepped aside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Behind him, Qiu Hongyi introduced: "Academician Peng, this is Professor Xu Chuanxu who won the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians not long ago. Today I specially
Came to find you."
Xu Chuan looked at the old man at the door, smiled and stepped forward, saying hello: "Academician Peng, hello, I'm sorry for disturbing you if you come uninvited."
Academician Peng Hongxi, nuclear physicist, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He participated in the development and establishment of China's first neutron time-of-flight spectrometer on an atomic reactor; participated in and led many topics of near-zone physical testing in nuclear weapons tests, and pioneered and developed particle beam inertial confinement fusion in China.
Research.
He is a true veteran figure in the field of nuclear physics and has considerable influence. Although he is almost eighty years old now, he has not completely retired and is still active at Shuimu University.
He was the person selected by Xu Chuan from many domestic nuclear physicists.
I came here personally to ask him to come out.
Seeing Xu Chuan, Peng Hongxi's eyes lit up, she shook Xu Chuan's hand with a smile and said: "I have long admired your name, Professor Xu. I often hear other people talking about you. There is a top young mathematician in our country who also won the Phil.
This is my award. When I saw you today, you are younger and more promising than I thought."
"Come on, come on in and sit down."
As he said that, he glanced at Chang Kai who was standing aside and said, "Xiao Chang, go and make some tea."
Chang Kai served the tea and then quietly left. Although he wanted to stay and listen to what the elders had to say, he still had some sense of propriety.
In the living room, the three of them chatted for a while. Xu Chuan got to the point after seeing that they were almost there: "Academician Peng, I came to disturb you this time because I have something to ask you for help."
Hearing this, Peng Hongxi nodded and said, "Please tell me, I will do my best wherever I can help."
Although it was his first meeting, he felt very good about the young genius in front of him.
Xu Chuan glanced at Qiu Hongyi, who was sitting aside, and after thinking for a while he said, "Professor Qiu, how about I go find you later?"
Qiu Hongyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then I won't disturb you for now."
