Chapter 421 Courage
"Minister Chu, Academician He, Academician Wan, and President Lu, due to limited conditions, HC-1 has only undergone simple tests so far. Please take a quick look at it. For the specific actual tests, I'd like to trouble you to help arrange them!" Wu Tong handed the statistical data in his hand to several project managers around him for review. Properly displaying the progress of research and development results will also help increase confidence in the projects.
Although her abilities were not that great, she was still very confident in the performance of the new material. If she was trying to convince these industry leaders from a theoretical perspective at the meeting, then this material display was truly about putting these leaders at ease and allowing them to follow her in making breakthroughs in the project.
Wu Tong has learned a lot from working with many seniors on many projects, and she is very grateful for their advice. She is lucky to have met many caring seniors.
"This..." Everyone present, even Chu Hengyuan, has been dealing with these scientific research giants for a long time, and the basics of understanding can be said to be no worse than that of a basic materials staff. Once they got their hands on the data and statistical information, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
If Chu Hengyuan and Lu Xiao were already accustomed to Wu Tong's miraculous results, then Academician He and Wan Funian were both shocked beyond words.
They were not only shocked by the extraordinary mechanical performance of HC-1, but also by its high temperature and heat resistance, which made the industry admire it. The words "neutron impact detection" and "no damage" made people even more amazed. They were deeply amazed by the technological leap brought by this data in their hands!
This is such a wild and imaginative idea, yet it is a real breakthrough, making it possible to control the sun!
At this moment, they really felt that it was a pity to put their hearts in their stomachs. It was really a ray of hope, shining into the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China! It was not that they had no confidence in Wu Tong before, but the difficulty of the stellarator device was well known in the industry.
From an engineering perspective, the difficulty of manufacturing a stellarator device is far greater than that of the relatively simple tokamak. Even the other side of the sea that designed a stellarator device was ultimately unable to fully develop it, and ultimately abandoned the partially developed stellarator device in favor of the tokamak.
When Germany developed the stellarator device, it caused quite a stir. But in comparison, they admired their courage. When China restarted the fusion project after experiencing a special period of time, it chose the tokamak route because it did not have too much trial and error cost and needed to keep up with the international community.
But now, Wu Tong has built a passable bridge between the impossible and the possible, making it possible for the country to truly build a practical stellarator orbital device, and will fill the domestic gap.
"Mr. Wu, we were offended by your previous doubts!" Academician He and Wan Funian almost unanimously apologized to Wu Tong. Their previous doubts about such a rare talent were too shallow. If there is really hope in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, they deeply feel at this moment that it does not lie with them, but with this calm young scholar years ago!
The word "wise" is not an exaggeration for her!
"You are too serious! Maybe I like the sun more!" The rising sun is called Chaoyang. The power of Chaoyang's purple energy gives her enough healthy physical nourishment to control the temperature of the sun. This is her fate with the sun.
As for the first wall material, Wu Tong had actually prepared to spend three months to half a year to tackle this tough problem, but an unexpected inspiration came to her, allowing her to find the idea of a breakthrough naturally. Overcoming it in one fell swoop would save a lot of time.
"The real neutron impact is data that cannot be obtained in the laboratory at present. I want to do a real radiation test. I would like to ask Minister Chu, Academician Wan, and Academician He to help me!" Wu Tong led several people who followed her into the core laboratory and pointed to the ten groups of samples synthesized inside.
True gold is not afraid of fire. HC-1 still lacks the most important test, which is to verify the results in a real fusion reaction in a real reactor. The materials that have passed the real verification are the foolproof confirmation that she has given full support to.
"Hasn't it already gone through preliminary neutron impact testing? Such material mechanical test data and high-temperature and heat-resistance data are already much better than the first-wall materials currently known. Combined with your design ideas, we can most likely create results that surpass all current data. Do we still need to conduct real fusion reaction tests?" Wan Funian was a little confused. Was he confused about Wu Tong's high standards?
The testing done by Wu Tong on the new HC-1 material is actually rich enough. Such data is enough for them to truly create it and truly test it. Based on this basis, they don’t actually need to do limit verification. The cost of starting a fusion reaction cannot be underestimated.
In order to save money and based on the fact that he was satisfied with the test data at hand, Wan Funian suggested: "We can actually build it directly!"
"Academician Wan, I understand what you mean, but our ultimate goal is not just to build a stellarator orbital device, but a real demonstration reactor, or even a commercial reactor that can be promoted. We want to build a reactor in the end!" Wu Tong emphasized the last two words "build a reactor". She made no secret of her ultimate ambition to achieve.
Therefore, she must grasp all the subtle details, do a good job of verification and control, and cannot ignore any steps in reality! The results in reality and the pure deductive data are mutually confirmed, which is the most appropriate!
Wu Tong trusts her own deductions, but she will not rely entirely on pure deductions and simulations. Feedback from reality is a must-have confirmation!
Only with such results will she hand it over to the higher authorities and put it into full production to live up to everyone's expectations.
Challenging the sun and intending to control the sun is just like the Jinwu in ancient mythology, who wants to master the power of the sun. Even though he has made a lot of research and project breakthroughs, Wu Tong can still feel the considerable pressure on his shoulders.
However, she still had the courage to fight to the death with all her might! Wu Tong's expression became more determined as she thought about it. The breakthrough of superconducting materials and the successful breakthrough of the first wall materials were much smoother than she had expected. Wu Tong was very confident that she would succeed!
Although she is personally weak, she never lacks the courage to challenge the unknown!
