Chapter 337: The World's Most Advanced Controlled Nuclear Fusion Device
Deng Fu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to do a controlled nuclear fusion experiment, it's better to go to Luzhou, where there is one of the most advanced controlled nuclear fusion devices in the world."
"It's EAST, right?" Xu You asked.
"That's right. EAST is capable of achieving ultra-high temperatures of 160 million degrees Celsius, which just meets your experimental requirements."
Xu You also felt that if he wanted to conduct experiments better, it would definitely be better to use a very advanced experimental device like EAST.
"Professor Xu, if we are sure we want to use EAST for experiments, it would be best to make adequate preparations in advance and solve all the experiments we want to conduct or other things we want to investigate at once. Applying for experiments will also take some time."
"I understand, Academician Deng. I'll go back and plan it carefully, and contact you when it's confirmed."
Before leaving, Xu You suddenly thought of another thing.
"By the way, Academician Deng. This result was actually discovered by one of my students. She should be the person who knows the properties of this material best. If possible, can you let her join the project team?"
"Is it the doctoral student named Lin Shi?"
"Yes, it's Lin Shi."
Because of his series of achievements, Lin Shi has become a well-known figure in the physics circle of Ji University.
"I'll say hello to the higher-ups, it should be fine."
"Okay, thank you Academician Deng for your hard work."
In the next few days, Xu You was busy planning the controlled fusion experiment to ensure that enough problems could be solved through this opportunity.
On the other hand, Lin Shi’s application to join the project team was also successfully approved.
Lin Shi was already a rising star in the physics world that the higher-ups paid close attention to. With Xu You's strong recommendation, it was naturally not a big problem for him to join the project team.
After receiving the message from Deng Fu, Xu You called Lin Shi over.
"Teacher Xu, are you looking for me?"
"Lin Shi, let me ask you something first. We have a very important project and we invite you to join us. Do you have any opinions?"
Before that, Xu You still had to ask Lin Shi for his opinion.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shi quickly shook her head vigorously.
"No objection, of course no objection!"
Although Lin Shi didn't know what this specific project was.
Judging from Xu You's attitude, this must be a very important project.
In all these years, Lin Shi has never been involved in such a confidential project.
"There are some things I need to say first. Once you get involved in a project like this, you must never leak the secrets to the outside world. Otherwise..."
Xu You made a "beheading" gesture, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"I understand. If you leak the secret, you will be arrested and beheaded. Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I won't tell you even if you kill me."
Through his understanding of Lin Shi over the years, Xu You is sure that Lin Shi is indeed a girl who keeps her mouth shut.
After saying this to Lin Shi , Xu You took Lin Shi to Deng Fu's office.
"Academician Deng, this is Lin Shi."
"Hello, Academician Deng!"
Apart from Xu You, it was the first time that Lin Shi met a scientist of such a high level, and she seemed a little reserved.
"Hello, Lin Shi. Come, sign the confidentiality agreement first."
After receiving the confidentiality agreement, Lin Shi read it carefully from beginning to end, signed her name heavily at the end, and pressed her fingerprint.
The moment the agreement was signed, Lin Shi became an official member of the project team.
"Lin Shi, now you are a member of the project team and have the right to know the confidential content of the project."
Next, Deng Fu told Lin Shi the main objectives of the project.
Lin Shi listened to Deng Fu's words carefully, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Research... controlled nuclear fusion?"
Lin Shi never thought that she would be associated with such an important project.
In a short period of time, Lin Shi felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had suddenly become much greater.
"Yes. This material may greatly enhance the magnetic confinement capability of the Tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device on plasma. If all goes well, your achievement will play a vital role in the project."
It took Lin Shi a long time to confirm this reality.
"Professor Xu, the reply from EAST is that we can go there to conduct experiments the week after next. At that time, there won't be many people from our project team going there, only you, Lin Shi, and me and a few core members of my laboratory."
"Okay, Professor Deng, I understand. I'm basically ready here, and I'll discuss the specific experimental plan with you and EAST later."
On the way back, Xu You thought of something again.
"Lin Shi, are you sure you are willing to go to Luzhou to participate in the experiment? This experiment is still very dangerous."
After all, it is a nuclear fusion experiment. Just hearing the astonishing temperature is enough to make people feel scared.
"Of course I am willing. Physics experiments are inherently dangerous. Since I chose physics, I must have been mentally prepared. And since you, Teacher Xu, will be there, why should I be afraid?"
"Well, that's settled then. In fact, our tokamak device is very safe, and safety is always the top priority in all experiments."
Under normal circumstances, nuclear fusion reactors will not leak.
Even if there is a leak, the reaction will stop immediately.
Moreover, the products of nuclear fusion are radiation-free and much cleaner than nuclear fission.
At the agreed time, Deng Fu, Xu You, Lin Shi and others came to Luzhou together.
After entering the EAST experimental hall, Xu You was immediately shocked by the shocking scene.
Before coming, Xu You knew that the EAST device was very spectacular.
In comparison, the scene I saw with my own eyes was more shocking than what I heard.
The entire EAST device is three stories high.
“It’s so high!”
After seeing this scene, Lin Shi couldn't help but sigh.
After Xu You and others met with the responsible personnel of EAST, they discussed the subsequent experimental plan.
According to the plan, everyone needs to first make sure that adding this new plasma to the experimental device will not cause any safety hazards to the device.
Only after ensuring that everything is safe can the next experiment be carried out.
After detailed measurements, we ensured that the addition of this new plasma would not have any effect on the device.
And what follows is the most critical moment.
"If the addition of this new plasma can greatly enhance the magnetic confinement of the entire device, it will prove that Professor Xu's conjecture is correct. In this process, if any dangerous signals appear, we will stop the experiment at any time."
