Chapter 390 Filling
"The movement of the plasma in the stellarator device is a complex system problem in physics. I'm counting on you, Brother Lu!" Although this problem may not touch the edge of quantum mechanics and can be summarized by Maxwell's equations, the number of particles involved is an astronomical number, which is a difficult problem no less than the famous problems in the current mathematics community!
The physics section is Lu Xiao's strong point. Wu Tong is grateful to Lu Xiao for taking over the task on his own initiative and feels comfortable entrusting him with the task, which is also an important reason why she invited Lu Xiao.
Although there is no specific evaluation, in the domestic physics community, Lu Xiao's physics level is almost unmatched, excluding the old man at the top. After many collaborations, Wu Tong is well aware of Lu Xiao's physics skills. For such a big project, Wu Tong will naturally use the familiar and not the new, and entrust it to a reliable candidate.
It's not that she can't do all of them, but it takes a lot of energy and time, which she can use to solve problems in other areas she is good at. Every profession has its own expertise, and she can't solve all the problems by herself. Since there are already enough outstanding top talents in this field, why should she go to the trouble of solving them herself? It's not like she has lost her mind and has to show off her ability!
Wu Tong never thought that she was stupid, nor was she the type to show off her ability, so she always believed in leaving professional matters to professionals, making the best use of everything and everyone.
"No problem. With our joint efforts, maybe we can break the curse that controlled nuclear fusion will take another 50 years. Mr. Wu, I have great confidence in you!" As the call was about to end, Lu Xiao encouraged with a smile before hanging up.
Back then, he was still studying Zhou's conjecture and had not yet entered Peking University as a senior high school student. Now, only three years later, he has become an indispensable pillar of the domestic scientific research community, a national treasure scientist, and a synonym for miracle. He really has full confidence in Wu Tong!
Before, even though Lu Xiao was quite confident in himself, he did not have much confidence in the huge project of plasma confinement, because plasma motion, like the turbulence phenomenon in fluid mechanics, has always been an insurmountable mountain that the physics community is still trying to explore and climb, even with the basic equation of the NS equation.
Fortunately, thanks to Wu Tong, he not only solved the proof of the NS equation, but also found a general solution, which will be of great help to his subsequent research on plasma motion. He can have a certain basis and principle to build a model and predict the behavior of plasma motion to assist in the study of the motion law of plasma in the stellarator device.
Everything in the world has its own laws to follow. If they can figure out certain laws, it will definitely be of great help in the control of the plasma of the stellarator.
"Thank you Brother Lu for your trust. I must go all out!" She is always serious and persistent in every project. Pursuing the truest and best results has always been her principle.
"When I was working abroad, I once saw Lyman Pitzer's stellarator manuscript. Wait for me to find the records from that year and send them to you for reference!" Lu Xiao gave Wu Tong a surprise. The design from fifty or sixty years ago was still shocking to him when he saw it. This was one of the reasons why he paid attention to the stellarator device.
"Brother Lu, do you have the manuscript of that gentleman?" Wu Tong was really surprised this time. Although her lack of overseas study experience did not have a big impact on her research, she did lack some experience in terms of knowledge.
Wu Tong had originally planned to start the research on the stellarator device from scratch, and proceed step by step, feeling his way forward. Although there were many difficulties, with the help of the deductive space, Wu Tong was still optimistic and confident about himself.
However, Lu Xiao's words at this moment gave her a great surprise. If she had the manuscript of the magical gentleman who proposed the star simulator device, she could save a lot of trouble in the early stage of research and lay a good foundation.
"I was lucky enough to read it in the Flint Library in Princeton. I was interested in it, so I made a note of what I read. There is definitely no word-for-word original version, but I made a brief note for reference only!" Lu Xiao took advantage of his good memory at the time and thought that he might need it in the future, so he wrote it down.
At this moment, he was quite grateful for his foresight. Isn't this really necessary?
"Thank you, Brother Lu, that's enough, it's already very good!" Wu Tong thanked him deeply. Compared with starting from scratch, she could save a lot of energy and time by just talking about the concept of the star simulator and deducing it step by step. She was not greedy, and this was enough! What Lu Xiao could remember was just a humble expression, and there must be a essence.
For her, as long as she has some essential threads and puts in a little effort, she can deduce all the contents by herself. It is not a big task!
After hanging up the phone with a smile, Wu Tong received the information sent by Lu Xiao not long after. As soon as she saw it, Wu Tong knew that she had guessed right. Lu Xiao's so-called brief record was really modest! This was a very detailed manuscript record. It was not a one-to-one record, but the key points described in the manuscript were all presented in this manuscript.
There was even that gentleman's advanced vision of the stellarator device, his considerations based on a unique perspective of astrophysics, and his sloppy and simple design sketches... as well as Lu Xiao's analysis and understanding based on a physics perspective... For Wu Tong, this manuscript was almost like a blessing, and it really gave her a medium to deeply understand the concept, principles and design of the stellarator device!
The stellarator is an experimental device with a spiral winding that uses a magnetic field to confine high-temperature plasma to ensure stable and safe operation. It obtains continuous energy by imitating the nuclear fusion reaction inside a star. It is currently the device that Wu Tong has chosen to design and conduct preliminary research, and it is the most likely to achieve a controllable and clean nuclear fusion energy device.
In fact, Germany had already started research on stellarators several years ago. There must be similar research on the other side of the sea. Even other developed countries may have made some attempts in this area. However, based on the technology, there may not be any major breakthroughs yet.
At present, the most likely rumor internationally is that Germany is expected to complete the final assembly of the stellarator device WEGA within 1314, and is expected to conduct experiments before 17 years!
Before this, there had been no research on stellarators in China, so this area was a blank. But with this manuscript, Wu Tong was confident that she could fill this gap as soon as possible!
