He glanced briefly at the W7-X stellarator’s data, then turned his attention back to the work at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rongcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tea’s on the desk, brew your own,” said Academician Liu Fanyang, head down over the documents in his hands, to the fat old man entering the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat old man didn’t hesitate; he poured himself tea. “The weather in Rongcheng? Only this season and autumn are bearable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat old man was Wang Pingbai, a nuclear physics expert Liu Fanyang had brought back from the United States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he complained, Wang Pingbai asked: “Looking at the data from Germany?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, just finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Fanyang closed the documents in his hands and sighed to Wang Pingbai: “Minute-level, Lao Wang. I have a feeling commercial controlled nuclear fusion is drawing closer to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Pingbai said solemnly: “Indeed. Currently, each additional second of confinement time in W7-X requires millisecond-level precision in coordinating particle injection and microwave heating. Maintaining 70 seconds signifies a generational leap in the control system, even reducing the design cycle by up to 90%—an incredibly alarming figure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Undeniably, in stellarator technology, the Max Planck Society still stands alone at the top.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The gap exists. Even after acquiring plasma confinement optimization and diagnostic and heating technologies, we still cannot catch up in the short term. But we’ve already successfully validated the quasi-axisymmetric magnetic configuration with CFQS-T—we’ll have our first prototype within two years. That’s at least the first step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Fanyang’s attitude was surprisingly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plasma confinement optimization and diagnostic and heating technologies are among the core technologies of W7-X, involving plasma duration and magnetic field enhancement. Although their technological path differs from W7-X’s, the fundamental principles behind plasma confinement time and magnetic field control are identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the stellarator design is complete, it will achieve, for the first time globally, ultra-high-precision “quasi-axisymmetric magnetic configuration,” reducing neoclassical transport losses and enhancing plasma confinement performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will certainly secure a place in the stellarator field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results of the first phase were encouraging, but the work ahead remains fraught with difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest obstacle remains talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past year, high salaries had attracted many scientists, yet in terms of talent reserves for stellarators, they still could not compare with behemoths like the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.\u003C\u002Fp>",686,"2026-06-20T21:06:45.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8e6cc0cfe9afad2a8449d8f5101573e0e158138d53371b7f3b5603f2b73f68ec","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-744","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-742",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
