I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Can't do it?

Xu Mang looked at the graduate students in front of him. Although they looked very young, they were not young at all, at least much older than himself. However, this group of people actually thought that their project would take three years to complete. What did they think? ?

you!

Tell me about the basic characteristics of quantum materials. Xu Mang's expression was serious, and there was a hint of seriousness in his words.

Well...

This... This seems to be the content of the material major. The graduate student said cautiously: I just know a little bit. Quantum materials are based on semiconductor crystals. Each particle is a single crystal. The size seems to be in the Between one and a hundred nanometers.

Um!

Very good...to know these contents. Xu Mang nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: By the way, there are two in your team with undergraduate degrees in materials science. I will give you half a month to give me a satisfactory answer. s answer.

Half a month?

This... this is going crazy!

At this time, the graduate student said: Professor Xu... this... this is really impossible. It was already impossible a month ago, but suddenly the time has been reduced by half a month. This... this is not for us Is it my life? I really can't do it...

You don't need to research it, just give me a theoretical framework. Xu Mang said indifferently: The time here is relatively tight. We have to get rid of the misconception that time is very long. We have very little time left. , there are still many issues to be solved.”

words fall,

Xu Mang turned his head to look at the other five-member team, and said seriously: You...your work place is at the Modu Observatory, the drive from here to the Observatory takes 40 minutes, and it takes about an hour from the Observatory to Fuda , accommodation and meals, you can solve it by yourself, here is the reimbursement system...500 a day at your level.

Ten days!

Ten days, give me an idea. Xu Mang said calmly, I've already talked to the computer department. You can use supercomputers to calculate black holes at any time. In short, no matter what method you use, ten days must have a basic idea.

let's go...

Go to work yourself.

Xu Mang waved his hand.

Seeing the members of the two groups leaving the meeting room one by one with a trace of helplessness and nervousness, Xu Mang stretched his waist with a calm expression on his face. In fact, he was already panicking like a dog in his heart. It is very likely that the time is up. , the progress of the two groups is still zero.

leave the conference room,

Xu Mang went to Brother Chuanxiao's office and told him his worries, but Brother Chuanxiao just smiled and said... deserved it.

It makes you so impatient... you go to see the projects of other research institutes, they basically start in half a year, how can you make progress in a month like this. Brother Chuan Xiao said: On the contrary... .There will be a negative effect, not everyone is like you, and speed is directly proportional to being correct.

oh...

Let's talk about it at that time. Xu Mang shrugged: There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, anyway, that's it... By the way, do I need an accountant? Now the Xu Yang Research Institute has been officially listed, although there is no Ribbon cutting, but we are already running normally, and money is needed in many places, and when it comes to money... you need to hire an accountant.

or...

I'll contact the director of the Economics Department of Fuda University and ask him to send an excellent accounting student to our place for an internship. We don't need to pay any more! Xu Mang said with a smile: I have a good idea, right? ?”

Sun Chuan laughed:? ? ?

this...

This guy is really naughty!

Ahem!

I said Xu Mang... don't save this little money, you still have to spend it. Brother Chuan Xiao said with a wry smile: Speaking of which, you set up two research groups, so what should you do? You won't travel east all day long. Shall we go west?

Look at the strength of these people first.

If it's not ideal...I have to take the shot. Xu Mang shrugged: Oh... let's take one step at a time, what else can I do...

...

a few days later,

Xu Mang saw an article. Although he didn't name his name, it can be seen from the attitude of criticizing the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system that the author was very disgusted with gene editing, and even felt a little fear, but he was very clever. The use of the fear effect, gained a lot of voice.

Regarding these opposing voices, Xu Mang directly ignored their existence. It was still the same point of view... there is no so-called evil in technology, evil only exists in human beings, and when the people who use it are evil, then this technology will become very scary.

Similar to nuclear physics, it is a terrible atomic bomb, but sometimes it is one of the indispensable means of power generation.

Sudden,

the phone rings,

Xu Mang glanced at the number with a slightly surprised expression on his face. The call turned out to be from his uncle.

Under normal circumstances, he seldom calls himself. Unless he encounters some problems, or someone else encounters some problems, it is impossible for him to call. At most, he asks his father-in-law to bring a sentence.

Hello?

Uncle...do you want anything from me? Xu Mang asked.

have!

I just finished a meeting and met one of your physicists. He knew the relationship between me and you, and then talked about a certain key project, Xiao Xu...you should understand nuclear physics Right? the uncle asked.

Understand!

As long as it's related to physics, I understand. Xu Mang smiled and said, Is it controllable nuclear fusion?

The uncle was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: How do you know? He called you in advance?

ah?

Is it really controlled nuclear fusion?

Xu Mang said cautiously: I'm just guessing... I can't let me build an atomic bomb... I solved a certain component material of a controllable nuclear fusion device at Nantah University before, so I thought it might have something to do with it , what's going on?

I don't know either.

He only told me...it's related to this, and I don't know anything else. The uncle said: If you have time, please contact him.

oh...

after,

The uncle told Xu Mang a number.

hang up the phone,

Called in a hurry, and the call was connected soon.

Hello?

Academician Zhou? Xu Mang asked curiously, I'm Xu Mang. I heard you were looking for me?

Professor Xu!

Yes, yes, yes... I am indeed looking for you. I wanted to call you personally, but I happened to meet your uncle. A strong voice came from the opposite side, full of air, Professor Xu... we may need your help.

oh...

By the way, what project is it? Xu Mang asked.

Do you know the Gyre No. 1 device? Academician Zhou said seriously: Our first large-scale tokamak experimental device is used for basic research on magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion, as well as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project. Those of you Should know?

Xu Mang froze for a moment, then said seriously: I know... I remember I also studied the material of a certain component.

right!

Axial insulators made of epoxy-based composite materials really helped us solve a big problem at that time. Academician Zhou said with a smile: Because of your component, we successfully realized the integrated neutral beam injection system of the auxiliary heating project. The 100-second long-pulse hydrogen neutral beam extraction was successfully realized on the test platform.

Xu Mang knew what Academician Zhou was talking about. The temperature of the plasma pulse reached five times the core temperature of the sun, which is a high temperature of 100 million degrees.

Academician Zhou?

What's the matter? Xu Mang asked.

This year, our new generation of controllable nuclear fusion research device, Gyre No. 2... Academician Zhou said: Actually, the energy generated by nuclear fusion in the so-called artificial sun is still uncontrollable. How to make the energy generated by nuclear fusion It is very important to become controllable and easy to use.

Our Gyre-2 can simulate nuclear fusion reactions. The device uses hydrogen and deuterium gas as fuel, injecting them into the device and breaking them down to generate near-core-level plasma, simulating nuclear fusion reactions. Academician Zhou Speaking of this, I couldn't help showing a little helplessness: But we lack a top expert in the two-way field of physics and computer. It just so happens...you are such an expert and should be an authority.

ah?

Is this... controlled nuclear fusion in the true sense?

Through his own channel, Xu Mang had known for a long time that there were some problems with the previous device, but he couldn't do anything about it. Technology had prevented human progress.

With hydrogen and deuterium?

This deuterium is not cheap, hundreds of millions of dollars is only one kilogram, so the price is priceless, but deuterium is a large stranded household, and it is almost impossible to control the content of deuterium. Did Academician Zhou solve this problem?

The problem of tritium retention is only a small problem. How to solve neutron irradiation, plasma radiation, and low activation materials?

There are still many problems, what should I do?

All solved?

Ahem!

Academician Zhou?

Controlled nuclear fusion...shouldn't it be a real experiment? Xu Mang asked cautiously, I was wondering... are you going to solve the problem of tritium retention?

Academician Zhou said: It is almost at the experimental stage. Of course, it can also reach an ion temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, but we hope to control this temperature and delay the time as much as possible under controllable conditions.

oh...

Then my task is to develop an artificial intelligence? Xu Mang asked curiously, Do relevant simulation experiments in advance?

right!

We hope that you can provide corresponding services and obtain some useful data in advance according to our parameters. Academician Zhou said: Every time this kind of equipment is used, a lot of money will be lost. There is no way...our Funding is scant.

Xu Mang smiled wryly. This sentence should be false. This is a key project, and it can no longer be described in terms of money.

I see...

But I need previous information and data, otherwise... I can't do it. Xu Mang said seriously.

Um!

By the way...the relevant contract needs to be signed. There should be no objection to this, right? After all, there is a process to go through.

no problem!

after,

The two chatted casually for a few words before Xu Mang hung up the phone.

Controlled nuclear fusion?

This question is a bit tricky...
