Chapter 600: The wheels of history always move forward

Clarendon Laboratory auditorium.

Professor Ma Xuan led Xu Qingzhou toward several Xia Nation professors who were talking and laughing. One of them was a Jingda professor, whom Xu Qingzhou knew, and the other three were slightly unfamiliar.

The middle-aged man on the right saw Xu Qingzhou and Ma Xuan first, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Professor Xu, I have heard of your name for a long time. Finally saw the real person today. You are much more handsome than on TV. You are worthy of being a pillar of the country."

"You flatter me."

Xu Qingzhou reached out modestly, thinking to himself that this professor has a good eye for people.

"This is Professor Jiang Daiyun from Jin Ling University, an internationally renowned expert in condensed matter."

"..."

"This is Professor Liu Fanyang from Southwest Jiaotong University, a nuclear physics expert and the person in charge of the stellarator project at Southwest Jiaotong University."

Professor Ma Xuan introduced several physicists from the Xia Nation to Xu Qingzhou one by one.

"Hello, Professor Liu." Xu Qingzhou shook hands with the other party.

There are not many units in China that study stellarators: Southwest Jiaotong University, Nanhua University, and finally the Hefei Institute under the Xia Academy of Sciences.

Southwest Jiaotong University can be considered to represent the highest level of independent design of stellarators in the Xia Nation.

Moreover, the technical route of domestic stellarators is also significantly different from that of foreign countries.

The CFQS of Southwest Jiaotong University adopts a quasi-axisymmetric (QI) magnetic field configuration, combining the high confinement performance of the tokamak and the steady-state operation characteristics of the stellarator. It can be considered a late-mover advantage, capable of gathering the strengths of all families.

It is a pity that they are still in theory, and I don't know when they will be able to be put into experiments like foreign stellarators.

Represented by Germany's "Wendelstein 7-X" (W7-X), it adopts a traditional asymmetric magnetic field configuration and relies on a complex three-dimensional coil structure, but has already achieved long steady-state operation with superconducting magnets.

At this time, there is no stellarator that can run in China. Two years later, Nanhua University will introduce the H-1 stellarator from Australia.

This seminar also focuses on controllable nuclear fusion energy.

People from the Max Planck Institute in Germany and the International Nuclear Fusion Cooperation Organization have come. To a certain extent, it can be said that this will be a grand meeting of technical disputes.

"Professor Xu's age is now less than half of ours, and his technical level far exceeds us old men."

"You are too polite, I still have to ask you seniors for advice."

"Professor Xu, come to Nanhua University to sit when you have time, we will definitely welcome you."

Several Xia Nation professors also greeted Xu Qingzhou with smiles, and did not slack off because of the young face in front of them.

The older generation of scholars will greatly appreciate the younger generation who are promising and humble.

Professor Jiang Daiyun invited: "Professor Xu, your name is like thunder to our ears. If you have time, you are welcome to give lectures at our school. You are now the idol of students in Shudi universities."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit you."

Xu Qingzhou said with a smile.

Jiang Daiyun shook his head and said with some emotion: "Visiting is not mentioned. In some aspects, you are already our teacher."

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and returned to their seats.

At 9:00 AM sharp, the opening ceremony began.

Professor Ian Walmsley, Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, delivered a speech, expressing his welcome to the many scholars who had arrived.

Subsequently, Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford and an international relations expert, took the stage, reviewed the century-old achievements of Oxford physics, and announced the various meeting themes of this report meeting.

The whole process is very concise.

After 30 minutes.
