Chapter 735: Cold violence is not advisable, so let's just do it

~5 min read 829 words

A plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius and maintaining a steady state at the thousand-second level were only Xu Qingzhou's first-stage goals.

Although there are differences in the technical routes of tokamaks, they also have a certain path to the same destination. All routes aim at satisfying the Lawson criterion → achieving net energy gain → commercial power generation as the ultimate goal.

The Lawson criterion, which is what is commonly referred to as breaking through the three elements of fusion—the fusion triple product.

The second stage is high-parameter operation and commercial feasibility verification, improving the fusion triple product (density × temperature × confinement time), and verifying energy gain and economic viability.

After solving the difficult problems of plasma and wall material interaction, divertor heat load management, etc., in the thousand-second level operation, this third stage is to integrate negative triangular plasma technology and build a fusion demonstration reactor capable of power generation.

Subsequently, it can discharge electricity for several hours in the demonstration reactor to verify tritium breeding and energy gain (Q>10).

Here, we can simply explain the two things, deuterium and tritium, in nuclear fusion experiments.

Deuterium (D) and tritium (T) are isotopes of hydrogen, which undergo fusion reactions under high temperature and high pressure:

That is, D+T → He (helium nucleus) + n (neutron) + energy.

They are key technologies for the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion. In the core of the reactor, they are equivalent to uranium-235 fuel in nuclear fission power plants. The difference is that they are infinite, clean, and safe.

In the office, Xu Qingzhou was pulled back to reality by the message notification on his mobile phone. He glanced at the WeChat on his phone; it was sent by Song Yao. This girl was already cooking at home.

"I was going to go back yesterday, but it was delayed because of the experiment. Teacher Song probably has a belly full of anger."

Xu Qingzhou pondered for a moment, and while organizing the materials on the table, he dialed Song Lulu's phone.

"Lulu, have you eaten yet... You haven't come to eat with me and your sister for a few days, how about coming over today?"

Xu Qingzhou issued an invitation.

"Cough~ Nonsense, brother-in-law is caring about you..."

"..."

The two hung up the phone quickly.

Xu Qingzhou was a bit helpless, thinking to himself that this sister-in-law couldn't be kept; he originally wanted to pull her over to share some of the firepower.

He didn't continue sitting, packed up the documents, and got up to go home to accept the trial.

At this time, Jingda Dormitory Building 4.

Wu Ziyue saw Song Lulu put down her phone and asked gossipingly, "Lulu, Professor Xu?"

"Yes, called me over to eat... But I suspect he made my sister angry and wants to pull me over as a shield."

Song Lulu muttered.

"I didn't expect their lives to be so interesting... It's feeling more and more like an idol drama."

Wu Ziyue rested her chin on her hand and started to eat the melon.

Song Lulu smiled boredly. Actually, these two are really quite romantic: high school classmates, admitted to Jingda together, then lived together, and got married after finishing their studies.

This sister and brother-in-law of hers are actually not at all like what is reported in the news.

Cousin, Jingda talented woman, professional career woman, and cold, but actually, after coming down... clingy and violent. At first, she still held back, but she had seen many scenes of her disciplining her husband.

Of course, it takes two to tango.

Brother-in-law, Nobel Prize big shot, world-renowned scientist, but sometimes really annoying.

"I don't want to be the lubricant for these two people's lives, as long as no one gets killed."

Song Lulu said in her heart, shook her head, and focused her gaze on the materials in front of her.

Project: Optimization of Tensile Properties of PEDOT: PSS Conductive Thin Film

She still accepted Professor He Rusong's invitation.

Just as Professor He said, this project had moderate difficulty.

Exploring the interface adhesion mechanism between flexible materials and human skin, developing sensor materials with high fit, and using flexible electronic materials as the core—it was just right for an undergraduate.

These days, by participating in synthesis, testing, analysis, and other links, she had learned a lot of knowledge not in the textbooks.

It was not as exaggerated as other professors' projects.

She, a freshman undergraduate, had to be responsible for a certain part, and even guarantee that she could publish an SCI paper.

"Are you guys looking at my talent? I don't even want to point it out for you."

Under Professor He's guidance, she was currently preparing the doping solution and had initially become familiar with equipment such as the laboratory's material testing machine and four-probe tester.

Now, the most challenging thing was data analysis. She needed to organize the tensile-conductivity relationship curve and assist in optimizing process parameters. ===== CHAPTER 736 =====
