Magnetic field constraints: The magnetic field volume is too large. A superconducting magnet of thousands of square meters is too bulky for a spacecraft. She preferred a size of only a meter tall and thick. Furthermore, its presence would interfere with the normal operation of the spacecraft's approach, so this was the first thing to be ruled out.
Ignition only requires the fusion reaction to occur quickly, and there is no need to keep the fusion reaction plasma running stably for a long time. Sometimes they even need to shut down the fuel operation. In this case, the fuel is partitioned, so pulsed laser ignition is a very feasible method!
The power generation unit needs to be redesigned, and this part will have to wait until the core design is finalized. After the industrial group completed the design and development of the magnetohydrodynamic generator, it now has sufficient experience and is excitedly cooperating. For them, there is a traceable path to follow, so this is not a difficult task.
······
The clear route structure unfolded step by step in Jiang Jingzhu's deductions. Lines of manuscripts, filled with precise and rigorous deductive formulas and compositional diagrams, piled up again into a thick stack. The water in the thermos on the corner of the table had been refilled several times. Lunch was a quick, nutritious and convenient option prepared by her companions and placed on the corner of the table. She instinctively devoted a little attention to it to ensure her body's energy supply.
The people responsible for protecting and taking care of her have become accustomed to Wu Tong entering a new state of research and development. Every time in this state, great results will be achieved, which will benefit the country and the people. Disturbing her will definitely be a huge loss. They have already mastered the ability to deliver food and water to Wu Tong silently and will never disturb Wu Tong's research and development state.
Although Wu Tong had said that important matters would be brought to her attention, her absence wouldn't be a major impact; at most, she'd just have to restart her deductions and find her inspiration again! However, anyone involved in research knew that inspiration was fleeting, and finding it again was incredibly difficult. That was only true for major events, or matters related to Wu Tong's health. Everything else made way for Wu Tong's immersion in research.
Unless there's a safety issue with the building or a major scientific research incident, it's not worth disturbing Mr. Wu's research! This is the research institute, and everyone from top to bottom has an absolute understanding of this!
However, Wu Tong's research and development ended earlier than the guards had expected. Mr. Wu's research and development was already in good shape, so a ten-day to half-month research period was normal.
She was immersed in her own world of research and development, and could instinctively go back to her room to rest, wash up, and repeat the cycle of research and development. For them, it was just a matter of helping Mr. Wu deliver things to a fixed place where she could easily get to them. It was absolutely good care!
An Wenshu quietly placed the thermos of milk within Wu Tong's reach, without interfering with her deduction. It was late at night, so she gave Wu some easy-to-drink milk as a midnight snack. Just as she was about to step back, she saw Wu Tong raise her hand to take the thermos and thank her with a smile.
"Mr. Wu, did I disturb you?" An Wenshu's heart skipped a beat. This was what they were most worried about!
Wu Tong waved his hand, took a sip of the perfectly warm milk, and warmed his sullen stomach. He smiled and said, "No, you know, I usually only finish my state by myself. It's unbreakable, and there's no outside interference. You don't have to be so reserved!"
"The problem has been roughly solved. I'll fill in the details slowly over the next two days. I've submitted a document to Director Chu and am awaiting his response!"
Before concluding her research for the day, Wu Tong gathered her thoughts and quickly submitted a proposal to Director Chu regarding the feasibility of small-scale nuclear fusion and the development of fusion batteries. The institute had sufficient funding, so she still had to go through the necessary project approval process. This was the proper procedure, as she wanted to let the higher-ups know about her research and development progress and provide support.
There's a saying that goes, who's the fastest person in the world? It's Cao Cao, because if you mention Cao Cao, he'll show up! Wu Tong had just said a few words to An Wenshu when the secure communication line rang.
"Minister Chu, good evening! Sorry to bother you with your rest!" Wu Tong raised her eyes and looked at the dark night outside.
"Mr. Wu, good evening. It's so late, why are you still working? You should take care of your health. Are the colleagues around you doing their work well?" Chu Hengyuan's concerned words came from the microphone. Wu Tong was directly in contact with him, and all projects were submitted to him in one go without being reviewed by any department personnel. No one else had that authority!
He set up a special reminder for Wu Tong's communication. Whenever Wu Tong submitted a message, he would be reminded to check it. Mr. Wu was still busy with R&D late at night, so how could he be considered a bother? "I'm here to serve you anytime, anywhere. It's never a bother!"
"Everything is fine. I'm drinking the milk that Sister An sent me right now. I'm feeling fine!" Wu Tong raised her glass. The four people who were openly accompanying her complemented each other and had been with her for several years. She had become accustomed to their presence. Even during the research and development process, she kept them within a safe range unless in a life-and-death crisis.
"Mr. Wu wants to develop small-scale nuclear fusion and fusion batteries? You already have a clear plan, right?" Before calling, Chu Hengyuan had quickly and carefully reviewed the concise project report Wu Tong had submitted. He was overwhelmed by the potential for success. Countless glorious events had paved the way for Wu Tong's current achievements. Mr. Wu always kept his word and delivered on his promise.
He called again, not because he didn't trust Mr. Wu, but to confirm the process.
Mr. Wu's efficiency remains as sharp and clear as ever. The Jinwu demonstration reactor has only recently been successfully developed, but Mr. Wu, with his foresight and drive, has already begun planning to use the reactor to power spacecraft, and even in the future, to power fighter jets, warships, submarines, and other military applications!
If this were truly possible, their warships and submarines would become true ocean slickers, roaming the vast oceans without any energy constraints. Their fighter jets would truly be able to accomplish their missions, without any range restrictions... Just thinking about this scenario filled him, the head of science and engineering, with excitement so intense that his blood pressure skyrocketed.
He believed that even if he reported it to his superiors, everyone's first impression at this moment would be absolutely the same as his!
"Yes, the general plan is already in place, and there are still some details that I will finalize as soon as possible in the near future. If I have time, I will submit the plan first!" Wu Tong gave an affirmative reply.
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll officially initiate the project and divide into groups for detailed research. We already have successful experience with the more complex Jinwu Pile. This one won't be as valuable as the Jinwu Pile, so it won't take long. Chu, please wait for good news!" This time, Wu Tong wanted to conduct a training exercise. So, she didn't develop a detailed, fully executed R&D design like she usually does.
With the general route, technical direction and specific practical operations in mind, she wants to divide the work into groups and delegate it to the lower levels, so that the entire institute can move forward thoroughly and conduct a major run-in!
