Chapter 749: Shocking Data

Living room.

"The test was on May 15th. Today is the 24th, 9 days since the test."

Jia Fei checked the official website of the Kyoto Institute of Materials. Without a doubt, the comment section had exploded. The Weibo post was sent at 8 PM, and only half an hour had passed, but there were already over two thousand comments.

"First ignition, and it directly reached 100 million degrees Celsius and 1100 seconds?"

"Someone big, tell me what this concept is."

"Awesome, that's all there is to it."

"Xu Qingzhou: We've come to flip the table in the field of controlled nuclear fusion again."

"To reach this goal, EAST went through 19 years of iteration. This means Xu Qingzhou and his team reached the world's top level on their first run."

"I'm already tired of saying the word 'awesome'."

"No, last week my advisor and I were still saying Xu Shen wouldn't be able to produce results in the short term. Is this a slap in the face?"

"If I remember correctly, it's only been a short year since Xu Qingzhou announced he was doing controlled nuclear fusion. Is this normal?"

"Used to it."

"No, Xu Shen didn't even show off on his own Weibo first. Bad review!"

Of course, besides the praise, there were still many voices of doubt.

"I am a researcher in the field of nuclear physics. I'll tell everyone clearly that the authenticity of the news remains to be verified. As far as I know, for Spain's SMART negative-triangularity design, they spent half a year just on magnetic pre-cooling. Can the institute's 'Qiankun No. 1' skip physical laws?"

"That makes sense."

"It's a gimmick, right? A plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, how could it be achieved so easily?"

Science Island.

Xiao Chenghan knocked on the office door and walked in. Seeing Li Gang staring at the computer screen with a stunned expression, he said, "You saw the news from Kyoto too?"

"Yeah."

Li Gang nodded, looking at the technical report released by the Institute of Materials, and sighed, "If I didn't know Professor Xu's personality, even I would doubt the authenticity of this news."

With current technology, achieving the goals Xu Qingzhou and his team announced on the first ignition is almost impossible.

But this information came from the Institute of Materials.

"This world is really becoming increasingly unrecognizable."

Li Gang gave a bitter smile.

He had been looking at this news for several minutes, but he still felt like he was in a dream.

"This group of people hid too deeply. Before this, they didn't reveal a single bit of news."

Xiao Chenghan's expression was complex, and he was equally emotional, "Completing such a feat on the first ignition is simply a miracle. I don't know how they did it."

"Why do I feel like Qiankun No. 1's progress will be faster than ours?" Li Gang mused.

"That's unlikely, right?"

Xiao Chenghan paused. His heart also skipped a beat, but after thinking about it carefully, he denied the idea and said, "They've been working on controlled nuclear fusion for a year at most, and we've been at it for how many years?"

"Also true."

Li Gang nodded.

Controlled nuclear fusion is, to a certain extent, a competition of foundation. Although spherical tokamaks have unique advantages, they are still in the starting stage, while traditional tokamaks have been developed for decades, and the maturity of various technologies is not something spherical tokamaks can compare to.

This young man doesn't take the usual path, but the triple product of fusion from the first ignition is definitely a huge threshold.

Just like them, they achieved 1066 seconds of operation early on, but if it weren't for Xu Qingzhou's superconducting thin film, they wouldn't know how many years they would have been stuck on this.

Li Gang drank tea, thinking of Xu Qingzhou's achievements, "How many years has it been since the scientific community produced such an outstanding figure?"

24 years old, won the Fields Medal, won the Wolf Prize, and finally won the Nobel Prize.

"Yeah, who remembers that he was originally doing mathematics? However, fortunately, such a person appeared in our Xia Nation." ===== CHAPTER 750 =====
