It can also automatically fill damaged areas, achieving self-repair functionality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The engineering difficulty is quite high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only saw a similar technique once, in a paper on extreme-environment materials science—it was used as an anti-radiation composite coating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Song Yao also came upstairs, slippers dragging, and walked silently behind Xu Qingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suspect you’re trying to murder your husband.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crush his head!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She messed up his hair until it stood on end, then returned to her seat satisfied, pulled out the law text she’d been half-reading, and began reading slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four days passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the office, Xu Qingzhou gazed at the lab’s proposal and nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The traditional divertor requires replacement after a hundred ignitions, but the liquid metal solution, if properly maintained, could theoretically serve indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the actual effectiveness still needs to be verified through localized simulation experiments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Implementing the full divertor upgrade according to this technical roadmap would require at least a six-person team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before assembling the team, Xu Qingzhou planned to first verify the technical feasibility; once tests met standards, he would connect it to the divertor test platform of Qiankun No. 1 for neutron irradiation environment validation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The problem is, everyone in the institute is already occupied—they can’t spare anyone for simulations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which means I’m apparently the only one with nothing to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After considering it, Xu Qingzhou decided to handle it himself. Ren Nan and others each handled a section; the progress so far had been smooth, with little need for his direct intervention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he intended to find an assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had no fixed project, he still needed to support various initiatives, helping resolve issues—he couldn’t just stay glued to the lab forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, he reached out to Ren Xiaoling, his former collaborator from undergrad, his old partner on the quantum optical frequency comb experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor Xu, you called me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short-haired girl appeared at the door soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six years had passed; Ren Xiaoling was now a doctoral student, having shed her former naivety and gained a sharper, more capable demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Ren, I’m planning a small simulation and need someone to help—do you have time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” Ren Xiaoling nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, she’d joined many projects, but compared to them, she still preferred the feeling of learning alongside Xu Qingzhou—she genuinely absorbed far more knowledge this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Here’s the relevant material. We’ll start tomorrow—take a look first. You can hand off your current tasks to others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Xu Qingzhou handed her a stack of documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Xiaoling was still officially an intern at the institute, and her current workload was light.\u003C\u002Fp>",567,"2026-06-20T21:06:45.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8b941bb482a4fe231b0ec038dfc589b9916104ceac1fabeddc55e1206a257d80","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-764","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-762",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
