Chapter 293 I'll give you two words. Safe! (23)
In boredom and emptiness, Chen Xiaoxin survived the last day of the quantum conference. There was supposed to be a dinner, but Chen Xiaoxin had no intention of attending it and was anxious to return to China to meet Academician Ma.
At this time on the plane, Chen Xiaoxin was reading about quantum chromodynamics. The name seems similar to quantum electrodynamics, but in fact there is a huge difference between the two. Quantum electrodynamics mainly describes electromagnetic interactions, while quantum chromodynamics describes the strong interactions between quarks.
There are also differences in gauge symmetry. Quantum chromodynamics is non-Abelian, while quantum electrodynamics is Abelian. This means that there are essential differences between the two in mathematical structure and physical application.
of course,
Chen Xiaoxin just took a casual look at it. He didn't think about solving the problem of analytical understanding. To Chen Xiaoxin, quantum chromodynamics is just a theory of strong force. It cannot solve the problem of the origin of the universe, nor can it solve the problem of the source of mass, let alone fully reveal the mechanism of mutual transformation between particles.
Instead of exploring this field, Chen Xiaoxin would like to focus her energy on something with practical significance. Ever since she heard her uncle's words from Yan Xiaoxi, her thoughts have changed dramatically. She no longer pursues cutting-edge academic research, but instead focuses on practical research.
in fact,
Many domestic papers are meaningless and are only written to make a living. Of course, even the most mediocre papers can provide some reference value to researchers in related fields, but it is only a reference value.
What Chen Xiaoxin wants to do is groundbreaking work, and from a practical point of view, something that can have economic value or national defense value, such as the infinity problem of quantum electrodynamics, which can well solve certain drawbacks in the electromagnetic field, and the content about the high-dimensional part in "Chen Xiaoxin's coordinate equation".
However, he can only conduct academic research. How to transform academic achievements into real technology is the job of engineers. He is responsible for the theoretical verification of a certain technology, or looking for the shadow of a completely new technology.
It only takes five hours to fly from Singapore to Shenhai, but it takes an extra hour to fly to Beijing. I don’t know how long I slept. When the plane landed, it was almost two o’clock in the morning. I dragged my luggage, hailed a taxi and went straight to the hotel.
I must stay in a five-star hotel since my parents are so good at making money, so I can't let myself suffer. Of course, I'm not a complete spendthrift, so an ordinary suite is enough for me.
When Chen Xiaoxin arrived at his room, he didn't feel sleepy at all, because he had slept for so long on the plane, so he simply started to study magnets. The Institute of High Energy Physics was waiting to use them, and they had already promised to research new magnets for them.
Although the controlled nuclear fusion device on Science Island is the most advanced in the world, Chen Xiaoxin thinks it is too huge. The reason for its hugeness is related to the magnet. If you want to have super high magnetism, it is inevitable to make it large.
Therefore,
Chen Xiaoxin's goal is to miniaturize the magnet and make its magnetic force more than five times stronger than before.
In order to achieve this great goal, Chen Xiaoxin quietly opened his system and upgraded the relevant skills in materials science. Unfortunately, his slacking value was limited, so he could only upgrade the basic material skills to level two, and there were no related branch skills. However, Chen Xiaoxin's physics was very strong and could make up for the shortcomings.
The essential
Strictly speaking, the new magnet belongs to the field of condensed matter physics. After all, it is a high-temperature superconducting material that needs to withstand extremely high temperatures and pressures. At the same time, it also requires a huge magnetic field to bind the fuel inside. If you want to generate such a strong magnetic field, you need a superconducting magnet.
I silently opened my mailbox and found a paper that a girl had given me from the marked important emails. It was about a new type of copper oxide material for nuclear fusion magnets developed by a foreign team.
“I feel like the data isn’t very good!”
Chen Xiaoxin calculated carefully for a long time and found that the extreme critical value of the material could not cope with the super equipment in China. It was easy to have internal stress and thus break. If this thing broke during the experiment, it would be an irreparable accident and it was destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
It's a bit troublesome!
What should we put in it? We can't really put bird droppings in it.
Chen Xiaoxin wants to change the internal structure of the copper oxide material by adding rare metals in order to meet performance requirements. Unfortunately, this idea is currently in a painful struggle.
The key is that there is no place to refer to. It is even more impossible to follow the lead of the United States, because the two countries are on completely different tracks in choosing the direction of controlled nuclear fusion. China mainly uses magnetic confinement, while the United States uses inertial confinement.
China is replicating the process of nuclear fusion in the sun, and then using a strong magnetic field to suspend the "artificial sun" in the air. After all, such extreme temperatures will melt anything that touches it instantly.
The United States will apply powerful pulses to small spheres containing fuel to quickly compress them and generate strong pressure. In this process, extremely high temperatures will be generated, reaching the conditions for nuclear fusion to occur. This process occurs within tens of nanoseconds and relies on the inertia of the fuel itself to maintain a compressed and heated state.
That is to say.
Chen Xiaoxin could only explore on his own. This was a huge test for him to complete the innovation of superconducting magnets without any literature. The key was that he didn't know what the future would be like.
But then again, if it is really developed, it will be far ahead of the United States, and the United States will not even have a chance to see any sign of it.
When I think of this situation, I feel full of strength.
"what?"
"what?"
Chen Xiaoxin leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, going over all the metal elements in his mind.
suddenly,
My eyes were shining.
"Ouch. Holy shit!"
Chen Xiaoxin slapped his forehead, as excited as a 500-pound fat man, and said to himself: "How the hell did I forget this?"
Having found inspiration, he took out a thick stack of papers without saying a word and began to calculate frantically, exploring the superconducting possibilities of this fantasy material, looking for the basic properties of the superconducting state, as well as the high-frequency electromagnetic properties and the Josephson effect.
Swish, swish, swish - various complex calculation processes were left on the white paper through the tip of the pen. Chen Xiaoxin didn't know how long he had been calculating. Anyway, he had been buried in front of the desk, exploring the possibilities of new magnets, looking for ways to surpass American nuclear fusion.
Many times.
This is the norm for scientists, constantly repeating the same work, and scientific research is destined to have more failures than successes. The key is that in this field, diligence and hard work are secondary, and the most important things are talent and luck.
With a flash of luck and his uncanny talent, Chen Xiaoxin was about to crack the new type of superconducting magnet. However, when he felt the urge to pee, he realized that it was already dawn!
what's the situation?
Why the hell is it already half past seven?
Chen Xiaoxin glanced at his phone and realized that he had been calculating for more than five hours.
It seems
That's all I can do for now.
Chen Xiaoxin sighed helplessly and packed his things in a frustrated manner. At this moment, he was like a patient with diabetes insipidus. When he was enjoying himself, he suddenly pinched his exit and said, "Oh my god! This fucking bladder is about to explode."
"Hey"
"Aunt, I'm Chen Xiaoxin. I'm already in Beijing."
Chen Xiaoxin dialed his aunt's number and then told her the name of the hotel where she was staying. After hanging up the phone, he took a shower comfortably.
I saw a jeep from a distance, and it had a military license plate.
After opening the passenger door, Chen Xiaoxin sat in, fastened his seat belt, and asked curiously, "Aunt? Where are we going?"
"Integrated Power Technology Research Institute." My aunt looked at him and said with a distressed look on her face, "Are you too tired, Chen? You just came back from Singapore and you didn't have a good rest. You went straight to the Power Technology Research Institute. I'm afraid your body can't handle it. If you get tired, your wife will be angry with me."
"It's fine"
"I'm so young and I have plenty of energy." Chen Xiaoxin said with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt. I arrived in the early morning yesterday and have had a good rest. Besides, there is no time difference between Singapore and us."
"alright."
"If you are too tired, be sure to tell me. I will stay with you for the next two days." My aunt reminded me.
Chen Xiaoxin responded and didn't say anything else.
We soon arrived at the gate of the Institute of Integrated Electric Power Technology, announced something, and then my aunt drove in.
Subsequently,
Chen Xiaoxin met Academician Ma.
Once met
Chen Xiaoxin was held tightly by Academician Ma's hand. It was rumored that Academician Ma had a bad temper, but he seemed gentle and elegant.
“I finally saw it!”
"Welcome here to guide our work." Academician Ma said with a smile.
"Academician Ma, you are too polite. I am just a young man of little standing. It is my honor to be able to come here." Chen Xiaoxin replied modestly.
"that's humble."
"If you are not up to par, then what are we?" Academician Ma paused and asked, "Start in the afternoon. Or when?"
"Now."
Chen Xiaoxin replied.
"Good good."
"I'll gather everyone right away. Xiao Zhou, take Professor Chen and Academician Chu to the conference room." Academician Ma ordered hurriedly.
On the way to the meeting room, my aunt reminded me earnestly: "Xiao Chen, you must control the content later and simplify the complicated things. We are different from you. Some things are very simple for you, but they are as difficult as the Book of Heaven for us."
Chen Xiaoxin nodded and answered seriously: "Don't worry, aunt, I'll give you two words. Safe!"
Then the naive aunt believed it.
