"Minister Chu, Academician He, Academician Wan, and General Manager Lu, due to limited conditions, HC-1 has only undergone simple tests so far. Please take a quick look. For the specific actual tests, I would 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. Appropriately displaying the progress of research and development results also helps to 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 letting them follow her to make breakthroughs in the project.
Working with multiple industry veterans on numerous projects, Wu Tong has learned a lot of unique insights, for which she is very grateful. She is also fortunate to have met many caring and supportive senior colleagues.
"This..." Everyone present, even Chu Hengyuan, has been dealing with these scientific research giants for a long time, and the basic understanding they should have 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 achievements, then Academician He and Wan Funian were both shocked beyond words.
They were not only astounded by the HC-1's exceptional mechanical performance, but also by its high-temperature and heat resistance, which is unparalleled in the industry. The combination of neutron impact testing and "non-destructive" in the test simply captivated them. The technological advancements they saw in this data were truly incredible!
This is such a fantastic 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 keep 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 incomparable to the relatively simple tokamak. Even the other side of the sea that designed a stellarator device was ultimately unable to completely form a stellarator device. In the end, the partially built stellarator device was abandoned and switched to a tokamak.
Germany's stellarator device caused quite a stir, but by comparison, they admired their courage. When China, after a period of stagnation during the Special Period, restarted its fusion program, it chose the tokamak approach, as it didn't require excessive trial and error and needed to closely follow international trends.
However, 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 apologized to Wu Tong in unison. For such a rare talent, their previous doubts 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 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 to six months 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 fears no fire. HC-1 still lacks the most crucial test: a real fusion reaction, to verify the results in a real reactor. The materials that have been verified are the foolproof confirmation that she has given her full support to.
"Hasn't it already passed preliminary neutron impact testing? Such material mechanical test data and high-temperature heat resistance data are already much better than the first-wall materials currently known. Coupled with your design ideas, we have a great chance of creating results that exceed all current data. Do we still need to conduct real fusion reaction tests?" Wan Funian was a little confused. Was he puzzled by Wu Tong's high standards?
Wu Tong's testing of the new HC-1 material was already sufficiently extensive, providing sufficient data for their development and testing. Based on this foundation, there was no need for further extreme testing. The cost of initiating a fusion reaction was not to be underestimated.
In order to save money and based on his satisfaction with the test data at hand, Wan Funian suggested: "We can actually just build it!"
"Academician Wan, I understand what you mean. It's just that 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 will eventually build a reactor!" Wu Tong emphasized the last two words "build a reactor". She made no secret of her ultimate ambition to achieve.
Therefore, she had to grasp every minute detail, conduct thorough verification and control, and not overlook any real-world steps! The most appropriate approach was to verify the real-world results with the purely inferred data!
Wu Tong trusts her own deductions, but she will not rely entirely on pure deductions and simulations. Feedback from reality is a necessary 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 like the Jinwu in ancient mythology, who wants to master the power of the sun. Even though he has made many breakthroughs in research and projects, Wu Tong can still feel the considerable pressure on his shoulders.
However, she still had the courage to fight to the bitter end, to give it her all, to fight to the bitter end! Wu Tong's expression became even more determined as she thought about it. The breakthrough in superconducting materials and the successful breakthrough in first-wall materials were already much smoother than she had expected. Wu Tong was confident that it would be a complete success!
Although she is personally weak, she never lacks the courage to challenge the unknown!
