The experiment, achieving multiple goals at once, concluded successfully. After completing the data collection, Wu Tong led the team back to Beijing with the materials. Academician He had already entrusted the maintenance of the device to the staff who remained behind.
The first wall is finished, the old one must go before the new one can come. No surprises there. The next time it is restarted, better first-wall materials and superconducting cables must be used, and upgraded to allow their old friend to be reborn and surpass the Oriental Ring!
If the Jinwu project is successful, he will be sending his old friend to retirement, into the history museum, and become a medal of commemoration of the progress of the times.
Based on the major breakthrough in the first wall material, Academician Wan, who was in charge of the project and managed the project schedule, adjusted the project schedule at the first opportunity, urged each team, and accelerated the progress of the small projects they were responsible for!
It's not that he's playing the bad guy and putting pressure on them, but they are honored to follow a chief designer, Mr. Wu, who can turn difficult obstacles into smooth roads, and can handle small tasks with ease, and his speed is faster than when they tackle small projects like this.
Without more urging, they couldn't let Boss Wu overcome all the difficulties and then, because of their lack of progress, delay the Golden Crow Engineering Team's tracking and ignition process? If this were to get out, their colleagues at home and abroad would laugh at them for a hundred years!
He couldn't help but wonder at Boss Wu's speed! When the Golden Crow Project was launched, he'd already prepared for five to ten years of dedicated effort. But who would have thought that within a single meeting, Boss Wu would announce that, building on the already exciting progress in superconducting materials, she had also developed a breakthrough in first-wall materials.
The Jinwu project has only been underway for two weeks. The HC-1 material has completed all testing procedures and, after undergoing real fusion reaction tests, has proven its superior performance. With President Wu's arrival in Beijing, the higher-ups will finalize production filing arrangements for the HC-1 material. Meanwhile, the new superconducting material, CG-2, has already been retrofitted with equipment and officially entered production.
The entire Golden Crow project was progressing at a speed far exceeding their imaginations, like a rocket, constantly pulling closer to its final goal. It was said that President Wu and President Lu had also developed a reliable plan for studying the motion patterns of plasma within the stellarator device, and this fusion test was also one of their data points...
I believe that at the speed Mr. Wu is moving, it will be completed in the near future.
The biggest difficulties of the stellarator device are the first wall material, neutron radiation, superconducting magnetic field, and plasma magnetic field confinement. It seems that the only thing missing is a slightly simpler improvement plan for the layout of the superconducting magnetic field coils. This is not a problem for Mr. Wu and Mr. Lu, a well-known genius in the field of physics.
Counting on his fingers, several major problems that have hindered the successful development of the star-simulating device seem to have been almost satisfactorily solved, or are about to be solved. With such rapid progress, both the R&D personnel above and below have become more and more confident in the success of the Jinwu project. They all unanimously approve of his supervision and dare not let down their guard!
From initial skepticism to today's full trust and expectation, all of this stems from having this godlike leader in charge, who has brought about miraculous progress. Working on projects with Mr. Wu is truly full of hope!
"Mr. Wu, you're finally back! I was thinking, if you hadn't come back soon, I'd have gone to pick you up myself. The project couldn't do without your guidance!" Wu Tong and his team landed at the institute and took a short break. The first person they met was Academician Wan, who was in charge of the project team. Academician Wan's words weren't just compliments; they were sincere.
Although Wu Tong hadn't been away for long, as the core of the Jinwu Project, she was the backbone of the project. Her presence and absence were two completely different things. He felt the most deeply when he was personally in charge of the project. Even when he was sleeping or resting, he would keep an eye on the project team.
Now that Mr. Wu is back, any difficulties or changes will no longer be a problem. He then reported
"Manufacturing of the main device components has begun, and other topics are progressing accordingly. I've submitted them to your system. I've already contacted the Nuclear Power Group and have made an appointment with their Chief Designer, Mr. Yi, who is expected to come to meet with you tomorrow!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Academician Wan!" Wu Tong listened carefully, nodding occasionally in acknowledgment of Academician Wan's dedication. While they were traveling to the southwest, Academician Wan had also been busy, and the project was now progressing at full speed. Academician Wan focused on the role of a supporter, and Wu Tong didn't get too carried away, instead offering Academician Wan the respect he deserved as a senior.
Academicians He and Wan, the two experienced leaders, were like the project team's two guardians to Wu Tong. With them around, she could focus less on project supervision and more on overcoming technical difficulties. Having shifted the burden of worrying about these two experienced experts, Wu Tong felt a little apologetic for them, and her respect for them grew even stronger.
These are all elders of her teacher's generation, so it is natural for her to respect them.
The arrangements made by the Nuclear Power Group are indeed far-sighted by veterans like Academician Wan. After the success of their Jinwu Project, they will immediately enter the process of building a reactor, which is a real and practical process to produce clean energy for the domestic supply. In order to convert the energy generated by the controlled fusion reaction into usable electricity, a generator is still needed to carry out the conversion.
As for generators, Wu Tong still has ideas that are different from the current conventional generators. In this regard, great minds think alike, and Academician Wan also made a keen observation.
"Haha... It's all thanks to Mr. Wu's good guidance. It would be a real waste for our Golden Crow to use the ordinary power generation mode!" Academician Wan laughed heartily. Now that Wu Tong has returned to take charge, he can finally relax his nerves that have been tense for several days.
"Mr. Wu doesn't plan to continue boiling water. Do you want to use magnetohydrodynamic power generation?" Academician Wan has been thinking about it in his mind for a long time. It was only when Wu Tong was not on guard and they were studying the drawings every day that he vaguely understood some of Wu Tong's ideas.
"Yes, Academician Wan has a sharp vision!" Wu Tong nodded to confirm that this was her idea.
Normal thermal power generation involves burning fuel to produce high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which is then used to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a generator to generate electricity. This process is jokingly referred to in the industry as "boiling water."
In contrast, there is another power generation mode, which Wu Tong is preparing to use, namely magnetohydrodynamic power generation.
