Chapter 312: At least a PhD degree two years of work experience
After hearing Xu Chuan's words, Qi Zhongxing quickly took out his notebook from his desk and prepared to write down the request.
On the opposite side, Xu Chuan took another look at the controllable nuclear fusion project planning drawings. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "I don't have any requirements regarding peripheral buildings, power generation facilities, cooling cycles, etc."
"Mainly the core area."
"The core area is used to store the controllable nuclear fusion reactor. After modification, the volume of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor will be larger than the tokamak device, both in diameter and height, exceeding thirty meters.
.”
"So the core factory building used to store controllable nuclear fusion reactors needs to be at least forty meters high. As for the area, you calculate it according to the maximum value of the equipment that needs to be deployed and then increase it by more than 25%."
Qi Zhongxing nodded and quickly recorded this request in his notebook.
For a country with big infrastructure construction, it is not difficult to build such a core area factory, but the amount of work is quite large.
Because according to the plan, the entire core area used to store the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is located underground.
According to this person's request, that is to say, they have to dig a space underground that is at least a hundred meters long and wide and more than fifty meters deep.
For such a big hole, just transferring the excavated sand, gravel and soil is a very troublesome matter.
In addition, in Qixia Mountain near the Yangtze River, groundwater or soft soil layers will definitely be dug out at a depth of more than 50 meters, which need to be taken into consideration.
On the opposite side, Xu Chuan glanced at Qi Zhongxing, and after he finished recording, he continued: "In addition, considering safety issues, the wall thickness in the core area must be at least thirty centimeters, and five centimeters can be considered in the central area.
The thickness of the radiation gap material is laid.”
Hearing this, Gao Hongming on the side asked nervously: "Is there any risk of nuclear radiation?"
Regarding Professor Xu's research, he had already had a comprehensive understanding before the superiors arranged for him to assist in the controllable nuclear fusion project.
Xu Chuan also knew about the use of radiation gap materials, which is a material used to resist nuclear radiation.
When this was mentioned, he subconsciously thought there was some radiation problem.
Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied: "Theoretically, controllable nuclear fusion is safe. But there is nothing absolutely safe."
"You should be aware of the nuclear fusion reactor explosion that occurred in Sakura Country some time ago. Although controllable nuclear fusion does not have the various ionizing radiation of nuclear fission reactors, the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure plasma in the chamber will not occur even if
The fusion reaction itself still has certain risks."
"After all, the temperature of these plasmas is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees. Once an accident occurs, it may have a huge impact on the core area."
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, normally there would be no such risk. The fusion reactor explosion in the small island country was entirely caused by their failure to follow the process specifications."
After saying that, he silently added in his heart: "Of course, the hole dug in that manuscript paper should not be underestimated."
After quickly recording the request, Qi Zhongxing raised his head and said: "That's no problem. The entire project will be built using the best nuclear cement. In addition, the core area will be treated with a fifty-centimeter-thick cement wall according to your request, with at least a minimum of space left in the middle.
Five centimeters of gap filling.”
After thinking about it, Qi Zhongxing then asked: "Is five centimeters enough? If not, you can expand it some more."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "That's enough. This is just an insurance measure. Controlled nuclear fusion is not nuclear fission. Even if a malfunction occurs, as long as the input of deuterium and tritium raw materials and the output of the NIF heating antenna are cut off, everything will be over."
There will be no additional problems."
Qi Zhongxing nodded and made another note in his notebook.
After walking around the controllable nuclear fusion engineering base at the foot of Qixia Mountain and raising his requirements, Xu Chuan stopped caring about things here.
He felt reassured that Qi Zhongxing would be in charge of the construction project, and Gao Hongming and the troops stationed here would also help keep an eye on the construction.
Various problems that are common in large-scale projects such as cutting corners, formwork projects, and steel bar projects cannot occur in this project.
Not only because this is a controllable nuclear fusion project, but also because the Huaguo Nuclear Industry Construction Group, which took over this project and was responsible for the construction, had already issued a military order before starting construction.
If problems arise during construction, the construction workers and persons in charge will have to go to military court.
Therefore, after raising some requirements regarding the construction of the core area to Qi Zhongxing, the chief engineer in charge of construction, Xu Chuan focused on other aspects.
In the Xianlin Campus of Nanjing University, near Qixia Mountain, Xu Chuan followed the campus path to the industrial building.
Because the controllable nuclear fusion project has just begun, the research institute in the park has not yet been built, so some personnel recruitment and office work borrowed an industrial building from the Xianlin Campus of NTU to be used as a temporary office.
Place.
Academician Peng Hongxi, who is responsible for personnel recruitment and related equipment procurement, currently works here.
I don’t know how many people have been recruited for the controllable nuclear fusion project in the past two months.
After knocking on the office door, a voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Xu Chuan opened the door and walked in. Peng Hongxi, who was dealing with something, took a look, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and greeted with a smile: "Hey, what brought you here?"
On the side, Han Jin, who was also working in the office, raised his head, said hello and quickly got up to make tea.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's hard to justify not coming back. I happened to finish my work on physics a few days ago, so I went out to walk around."
Hearing this, Peng Hongxi sighed: "The discovery of sterile neutrinos has confirmed that particles that exceed the predictions of the standard model have appeared in front of everyone so quickly that no one expected."
After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and said with a smile: "With this discovery, you should be able to win another Nobel Prize, right?"
“Let’s count your achievements this year in detail, starting from the expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, to the technology of “nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration and conversion into electrical energy”, to artificial SEI films and sterile neutrinos, almost every year you
It’s really unbelievable that we can make something worthy of winning the Nobel Prize.”
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "The discovery of sterile neutrinos is just a matter of good luck. As for the Nobel Prize."
He shrugged and continued: "I'm afraid it's difficult to make this discovery alone. After all, you know high-energy physics and particle physics."
Peng Hongxi shook his head with a smile and said: "What's different is that the discovery of sterile neutrinos is different from the particles predicted in the standard model in the past. His discovery and data analysis were all done by you alone. If you get the No.
The chances of winning the prize are great.”
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "It depends on the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' thoughts, but even if it can be won, it will definitely not be possible this year. It is already early October, and the list of physics prizes will be announced in a few days.
"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I just came from Qixia Mountain and wanted to see how the situation is here. I wonder how the recruitment is going?"
Peng Hongxi replied: "In terms of personnel recruitment, there are currently 123 people who have passed the recruitment and review, which is not too many and not too few. The main reason is that not many meet the requirements. After all, we do not have controllable nuclear fusion in our country.
For majors, you have to choose from the field of nuclear energy or physics."
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "It's okay, just take your time. People are more valuable than quality. One person who can do things is worth ten people who are just messing around."
Peng Hongxi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, there is no need to rush. The Nuclear Energy Research Institute has not yet been established. There are too many people and there is nowhere to go. Just take your time."
Xu Chuan: "Well, I can rest assured that Mr. Peng can help me with this."
"In addition, regarding the numerical control model of plasma turbulence, I used NTU's supercomputing center to do some calculations and tests, and got some calculation and test data, ready for optimization."
"But the quantity obtained is a bit large, so I brought it here today. Please ask Mr. Peng to find some reliable and suitable researchers to sort out these calculations and test data."
Peng Hongxi took the hard drive from Xu Chuan, looked at it and nodded: "Well, okay, I will handle this."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and looked at Xu Chuan curiously and asked: "You should have built this based on the paper that was lost before, right? The JT-60SA controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor in Sakura Country exploded.
Is it related to your previously stolen paper?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Well, it does have something to do with it. The data they took was not detailed, and the process was not standardized. They went directly to the experimental reactor without thorough testing, so the control system failed."
Hearing this, Peng Hongxi glanced at Xu Chuan and stopped talking.
Xu Chuan knew what the old man in front of him was worried about, and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake on my side. How can it be so easy to control the plasma turbulence in the controllable nuclear fusion reactor chamber?"
, there are still a lot of tests to be done in the future.”
Hearing what he said, Peng Hongxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll feel relieved."
"By the way, Mr. Peng, regarding personnel recruitment, please recruit ten more researchers on mathematical physics models. This will be useful when optimizing the model later."
After handing the hard drive carrying the plasma turbulence mathematical model to Peng Hongxi, Xu Chuan continued.
Such a large mathematical model would take too long to complete by just one person, and subsequent adjustments and optimizations would require more manpower to handle it.
"Okay, I'll write this down for you." Peng Hongxi nodded and replied, "Are there any requirements for the qualifications of these ten people?"
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said: "At least he must have a PhD degree and two years of work experience."
"After all, if low-level researchers participate in this kind of model optimization work, they won't be able to help at all."
After thinking for a while, he added: "If you have won a top award in a world-class college student modeling competition or have other outstanding achievements in modeling, the conditions can be relaxed appropriately, but the minimum requirement cannot be lower than a Ph.D.
, it’s better to get the red book.”
There is nothing he can do to set this threshold.
Because according to domestic academic qualifications, before you get a doctorate, it is actually the foundation stage. Only after you get a doctorate can you have enough knowledge to participate in such cutting-edge work.
PS: There is a chapter about eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Please vote for me.
