Chapter 639: Exchanging technology for technology, you guys are making a killing

In the office of the research institute, Xu Qingzhou drank tea calmly, waiting for the other party to speak.

Compared to the EU countries, Germany was actually the country that currently needed superconducting thin film technology the most. Its stellarator W7-X was in a key competition period with the Tokamak technology route, and Xu Qingzhou's technology could directly solve its two major pain points: insufficient magnetic field strength and high operating costs.

"It seems you already know the purpose of my trip. Well, I'll just ask straight to the point. Do you have any intention of selling the patent for the Gdirect superconducting thin film?"

Klinger stared at Xu Qingzhou and asked slowly.

Xu Qingzhou and their Nb3Sn thin film based on ALD and graphene substrate was officially named ALD-Nb3Sn-Gdirect superconducting thin film.

ALD highlights the atomic layer deposition process, Nb3Sn is the material main component identifier, and Gdirect is the graphene-induced direct growth without substrate.

"Of course, this is also one of the purposes of everyone gathering here. However, the final result depends on whether ITER can give me something satisfactory."

Xu Qingzhou paused and smiled: "You know, my research institute is not an ITER partner institution, which means we have no obligation to provide superconducting thin film to ITER."

"And in order to promote the progress of world controllable nuclear fusion and solve the human energy crisis, I am very happy to share the technology."

Klinger nodded and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

"I like talking to smart people."

Xu Qingzhou didn't beat around the bush either and said slowly: "I can open the superconducting thin film technology to you alone, which is exactly what you urgently need. The condition is that you must also give us plasma confinement optimization and diagnostic and heating technology."

"Plasma confinement optimization and diagnostic and heating technology? Oh, Professor Xu, I must tell you, this is impossible."

Klinger shook his head; this was completely a lion's opening of the mouth.

Plasma confinement optimization and diagnostic and heating technology were one of the core technologies of the stellarator, involving the two basic things of plasma time and magnetic field strengthening.

"That's a pity."

Xu Qingzhou picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "This is the prerequisite for our cooperation."

Klinger was silent.

The conditions Xu Qingzhou raised were very sharp; they came prepared and had already confirmed their bottom line.

They tended toward the "patent licensing + joint R&D" model, could cooperate to establish a stellarator-superconducting thin film joint test platform, and could even exchange non-core engineering data, such as stellarator cooling system design.

Who would have thought that Xu Qingzhou would play so big as soon as he came up, directly asking for their core patents.

Xu Qingzhou took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Forgive me for being blunt, the vitality of technology is always hidden in the soil of solving practical problems, and judging from the current actual data, your W7-X does not have the ability to be marketed. I admit it is a laboratory myth, but from another perspective, it is also a market graveyard."

"Guarding a technology that cannot progress is probably a stupid act. You know, the competitor of the stellarator, the Tokamak, has different data every year."

"Once our technology is used, the plasma confinement time of the W7-X stellarator can at least be realized from the current 30 seconds to 300 seconds, and our superconducting thin film can operate in the liquid nitrogen temperature zone (77K), reducing refrigeration energy consumption by 70%."

"This data is only based on our speculation. Once you adjust the superconducting magnet according to the actual situation of W7-X, the above two data will definitely increase geometrically."

Xu Qingzhou spoke eloquently, and the pros and cons were very clear.

The Xia Nation had its own stellarator experimental platform.

The Quasi-Axisymmetric Stellarator Test Platform (CFQS-T) in the Shu region, but it was currently only in the technical pre-research stage and had not yet entered the experimental verification period. ===== CHAPTER 640 =====
