"We don't eat food from charity."

Xu Qingzhou chuckled twice, glanced at the tender white feet, and remained unmoved, looking calm.

"Crazy." Song Yao wrinkled her nose, as if declaring her sovereignty, and put her other leg on Xu Qingzhou's leg.

"Beg me." Xu Qingzhou was still insisting.

"Beg you."

Song Yao blinked, very cooperative.

"いただきます (Itadakimasu / I'm digging in)"

"..."

"Don't force me to kick you."

"You don't really think I'm going to suck your feet, do you?"

Looking at Song Yao's vigilant eyes, Xu Qingzhou felt offended.

"Hmph, who knows where your bottom line is..."

"You have a misunderstanding about me."

"Is it possible that you haven't seen yourself clearly?" Song Yao swiped the news and said without raising her head.

Xu Qingzhou sighed, didn't refute, he pinched the feet, and picked up the pen again, "Confine the LiSiO tritium breeder to the two-dimensional material nano-cavity, and use van der Waals force to enhance lithium ion diffusion efficiency."

【Neutron capture reaction: n+Li→T+He】

The cold wave left, the cold air in North China weakened, and the temperature gradually rose. In late March, Kyoto had already entered spring, and tender buds sprouted on the branches on both sides of the research institute's road.

The atmosphere of early spring was full.

But the researchers had no leisure time to stop and appreciate the early spring scenery.

Compared to usual, the air was always surrounded by a trace of solemnity, researchers were in a hurry, and everyone seemed to be racing against time.

A plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius and maintaining a steady state at the thousand-second level were the goals that needed to be achieved for the first ignition.

The burden on everyone's shoulders was very heavy.

Especially in the final stage of testing, negative triangular plasma, superconducting magnets, quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system, first wall... every researcher had their heart in their throat, deeply afraid that the test would have problems again, requiring re-debugging or design, slowing down the overall progress.

After being silent for a year, everyone was actually holding their breath in their hearts, waiting for the day to shock the world.

March 28, Sunday, Testing Center.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period, rest well on the weekend and recharge your energy."

Xu Qingzhou turned to Ren Nan and others and said.

Just today, they completed the test of the two-dimensional confined LiSiO particles. The test showed that through the confinement effect, the tritium breeding rate can be increased to ≥1.25, which can effectively solve the problem of fast fuel consumption in the negative triangular configuration.

What kind of concept is this?

In the same field, the ITER block scheme has a tritium breeding rate of only 1.05, which cannot reach the "break-even line" of fuel self-sufficiency, that is, it needs to reach the critical value of 1.1.

In layman's terms, it is like a family's minimum monthly expenditure is 11,000 yuan. If the income ≤ 11,000, you need to constantly consume savings (external tritium supply) to maintain life (fusion reaction).

ITER earns 10,500 yuan per month, so it needs to use deposits (external tritium replenishment) to maintain the family's operation (experimental device operation).

It can be said that achieving fuel self-sufficiency is the demand for long-pulse operation of experimental devices.

Although their negative triangular design improves plasma confinement, the particle escape rate at the bending part increases by 30%, fuel consumption is faster, and a more efficient tritium breeding rate system is needed.

The quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system, combined with self-repairing technologies such as nanopore tungsten film and two-dimensional confined LiSiO particles, can be considered to have cleared huge obstacles for the negative triangular tokamak to achieve thousand-second level steady-state operation. ===== CHAPTER 743 =====
