From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

But now, even the system believes that this kind of ordinary solid material is impossible to perform this function.

Although the system's denial is very disappointing, Lin Xiao is not surprised at all about this point, after all, this point can also be calculated based on calculations.

For electromagnetic interaction materials, the limit force they can withstand is the magnitude of the electromagnetic force between them, which is the energy that needs to be absorbed when chemical bonds are broken. This is basically the case for high school chemistry. I have learned it all.

In nuclear fusion, the uncontrolled neutrons produced by deuterium-tritium fusion will carry energy at least equivalent to a temperature of [-] million K or more, and directly hit these chemical bonds. Obviously, even the strongest metal bonds among chemical bonds, It is also basically difficult to withstand the bombardment of this energy, and in addition to breaking chemical bonds, the damage caused by neutron transmutation to the inner wall during nuclear fusion is also one of the killers that has made the dream of human nuclear fusion difficult to realize so far.

Lin Xiao's face could not help showing a headache at this moment.

The system has denied it, so what kind of material is needed now to be competent for this role?

Or, is there even such a material?

Is it the wrong direction to use magnetic confinement devices to achieve controllable nuclear fusion?

He frowned, and then asked in his mind: "So, how many points of truth are needed for the material technology that can be competent for the inner wall material of the tokamak device?"

The system replied: "One thousand truth points are needed."

Lin Xiao's brows stretched slightly, it seems that there is still such a material.

It's just that the price is really expensive and scary. One thousand truth points, even if it was a room temperature superconductor, it only cost five hundred truth points.

Of course, this is the core material in the controllable nuclear fusion device after all.

It can be said that as long as human beings have mastered this material, the distance from controllable nuclear fusion will become as close as a stone's throw away, within reach.

And even if it is a room temperature superconductor, although it has a great effect, it can only slightly alleviate the energy problem of human beings. Compared with the complete solution of human energy crisis by controllable nuclear fusion, it is still slightly inferior.

Therefore, if Lin Xiao has to spend 100 truth points or [-] truth points to exchange for the inner wall material of the controllable nuclear fusion device or room temperature superconductor at this moment, then he is [-]% willing to spend [-] to exchange.

However, this is a thousand truth points after all. The truth points that Lin Xiao has accumulated for so many years are only in the early thousand, so he does not plan to exchange them directly for the time being.

At least you have to try it yourself first.

It is nothing more than to use numbers to calculate.

Then calculate such a competent material form.

Well, it's simple...well, I can't say it's simple.

At this moment, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head with a headache, and then turned his gaze to the outside of the balcony again, looking at the lights lit by every house, "Well, it seems that this year is busy again, hey, my mother just said that this year Don't be busy, I have to find a daughter-in-law for them, hey, tell them the 'good news' and go...Ah Choo!"

He sneezed suddenly, and then he covered his body, remembering that he had been outside for a while, and it was time to go back to the house to warm up.

……

Time passes quickly.

Although the Spring Festival is short, for Lin Xiao, it can be regarded as a half-day leisure.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, he embarked on the journey to work again.

"Let me tell you that it's one thing to be busy at work, but you have to take care of your life as well. Although it's not urgent to find a wife, but you must be urgent to find a girlfriend. Did you know?"

Standing at the door of the house, Lin Xiao said with a look of lovelessness: "Got it, got it, don't read it, don't read it."

He shouldn't have skinned that night, shared a 'good news' and ended up being talked about for a year.

"Go, go, brat, you won't be obedient when you grow up."

Looking at her son's expression, Yang Rong shook her head.

Seeing Lin Xiao devoting his mind to research every day, if he was a student, she would be happy to be a parent, but now... well, it's really worrying.

But the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and she and Lin's father can't control it, so they can only talk about it.

Seeing Lin Xiao and the bodyguards arranged by his countries go downstairs, Yang Rong closed the door, and could only pray for Lin Xiao in his heart that his research would go smoothly.

……

Lin Xiao finally set foot on the way to work, but he did not go directly to Shangjing, but went to Feishi first.

According to what Ma Gaoliang said, after he went to the plasma institute, he would be received there, so he planned to go here first.

It just so happens that he also wants to discuss with the researchers over there that ordinary materials are not capable of this.

Soon, I came to Feishi. The Plasma Institute is located in Feishi Science Island, an island that sounds very scientific. Of course, it is true. The older ones may be at the professor level.

Of course, it is also possible to catch a young man who looks to be in his 20s and is an academician.

That is Lin Xiao who came here today.

Sitting in the car arranged by Guoan, Lin Xiao entered the Institute of Plasma. The Institute of Plasma had received the news a long time ago, and lined up at the entrance of the institute to welcome him.

"Welcome Academician Lin."

"Hello, Academician Lin!"

All the people present, whether they were researchers or graduate students, cast admiring glances at Lin Xiao.

Just kidding, who doesn't know that the room temperature superconductor was developed by Lin Xiao?

Based on this alone, it is enough for those present to thank Lin Xiao. After all, a room temperature superconductor has brought them many papers.

At present, Huaguo is the only country in the world that has room-temperature superconductors, and they are the only people who can get room-temperature superconductors for experiments in the study of nuclear fusion. Superconductors have been rounded up. Of course, no less than five "Science" and "Nature" have been born for them. As for the papers in other areas, there are countless papers. According to the root of the hair is like a "cell".

Facing such a welcome, Lin Xiao also smiled and greeted these people, and then, led by Song Tao, the director of the Plasma Institute, entered the reception room.

"Academician Lin, we have seen you."

After coming to the reception room, Song Tao said with emotion.

Lin Xiao smiled: "It's nothing unusual to see me, anyway, everyone is doing it for academics."

Song Tao laughed, "That's true, but I'd better leave the academic stuff to academician Li Gang. In terms of academics, I'm definitely not as good as the two academicians."

Then he pointed to another person beside him.

Academician Li Gang, Director of the Academic Committee of the Institute of Plasma.

Generally speaking, if there is an academic committee in the institute, then its director is basically in charge of academic research, and his academic ability and status belong to the highest, like Zhao Xian, the father of superconductivity, He is also the director of the academic committee of his research institution.

Obviously, in the Plasma Institute, Academician Li Gang is in charge of academic research.

"Academician Lin, hello."

At this time, Academician Li Gang also nodded to Lin Xiao with a smile, and said, "Actually, I was the one who asked Director Ma Gaoliang to invite you over."

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, and said, "Hello, Academician Li, I also learned about it from Director Ma."

"Hehe, that's good." Li Gang said with a smile: "Suddenly invite you to come here, first allow me to apologize, but I also heard that Academician Lin even solved the problem of room-temperature superconductors, so I wanted to invite Academician Lin to come over and chat. Let’s talk, maybe we can get some inspiration on our controllable nuclear fusion.”

"Of course this is no problem. In fact, I want to discuss a topic with Academician Li right now."

Lin Xiao said: "Academician Li, do you think that our ordinary materials are basically impossible to meet the requirements of the inner wall of the tokamak device?"

After his words fell, the field was suddenly quiet.

Chapter 382 Unify strong force and electromagnetic force?

In the quiet reception room, the atmosphere seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.

In any case, the question Lin Xiao asked was like throwing cold water on them, just like when they usually apply for funding, the reviewers question whether their projects are meaningful.

Of course, in the face of reviewers, researchers like them can still come up with an argumentative paper of more than 100 pages to evade it, but facing Lin Xiao, the people present don't think they can evade it.

So they are also a little annoyed in their hearts, it is not good to ask other questions, why ask this question?

How does this make them answer?

Fortunately, the reception room is full of high-level executives from the Institute of Plasma, otherwise, there will be news that Academician Lin maintains a pessimistic attitude towards controllable nuclear fusion.

Then they may have to cut the funding.

And Li Gang was also slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Lin Xiao to ask such a question directly, but then he smiled, and when others thought he would deny it, he nodded.

"Academician Lin deserves to be Academician Lin, right on point."

Song Tao next to him probably didn't expect Li Gang to admit it so straightforwardly, so he couldn't help saying: "Academician Li..."

But Li Gang just stretched out his hand to stop Song Tao from continuing.

"Director Song, I invited Academician Lin to come here to solve the problem. If we don't even tell Academician Lin about our problem, how can we solve the problem? Besides, Academician Lin is also the director. I believe he understands us. I won’t say it out, it will affect our funding.”

Hearing that Li Gang said the same thing, Song Tao had no choice but to nod and said no more.

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, showing his appreciation. This is the case in the academic world. The funds are basically controlled by people who are not engaged in academia. In order to apply for funding, the researchers in the academic world are also deliberate in order to obtain funds. From a certain point of view, it can be regarded as restricting the normal development of the academic world, but now Li Gang obviously puts the matter of funding behind him, and wants to open up the skylight with him.

But well...

Although he is the director of a research institute, he really doesn't know what it's like to be short of funds.

In other words, um... he still couldn't understand it.

Of course, there is no need to say this sentence, so as not to hurt the peace.

So he smiled and said, "So, Academician Li, can we talk now?"

Li Gang nodded, then sighed again, and said, "It's indeed the same question you asked, Academician Lin. Alloys, or tantalum alloys, will eventually become pitted in the face of the terrible temperatures of nuclear fusion."

"Even I have heard people say many times that we always emphasize the problem that the plasma flow is difficult to control, and say that the neutron problem is not the most important problem, in fact, it is only because the former is a problem that can be controlled in theory, but the latter It’s a problem that theoretically we simply can’t solve.”

"That is to say, our previous achievements are basically to deceive... Well, to be more euphemistic, it is just to ensure that the funding can be applied for."

"After all, we have to support so many people in our plasma institute, so we will continue to persevere."

"However, I have been thinking about what kind of method is needed to solve this material problem. Unfortunately, I haven't figured it out until now. The material problem has always been a big problem. "

Li Gang sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Now their research is basically approaching the issue of how to control the plasma flow. As for the issue of neutron irradiation, no one dares to touch it now. It is to face neutrons, which are not controlled by any means.

So everyone doesn't like centrists, even for researchers like them. Neutron is the centrist that they all hate. It is neither positively charged nor negatively charged, and there is no way to control it. They cause trouble.

Lin Xiao nodded, "Well, that's true."

"I did a simple calculation a few days ago. If neutrons below 1.5 million K bombard chemical bonds, even the strongest chemical bonds can hardly withstand this kind of bombardment, let alone transmutation."

"Materials must face radiation damage of at least 100dpa. If we can't withstand this level of radiation damage, we basically don't have to think about achieving nuclear fusion."

"So, I have now come to a conclusion that our ordinary materials connected by the electromagnetic interaction force between atoms must not be able to achieve controllable nuclear fusion. Therefore, we must change the way of thinking about material design."

Lin Xiao's decisive words directly made everyone present feel dizzy.

Lin Xiao's question before was only to reject ordinary materials. As for what non-ordinary materials refer to, then the coverage is wider.

However, Lin Xiao now directly denies the materials formed based on electromagnetic interaction force, which immediately makes them all feel at a loss.

Although they have anticipated this possibility in the process of research, they can't just stop researching like this. What should be researched still has to be researched. Maybe one day, they will find such materials. ?

However, what Lin Xiao said now undoubtedly tore away the fig leaf, making them have to face the truth at this moment.

And Li Gang looked into Lin Xiao's gaze, and after a moment of silence, asked: "Then... Academician Lin, do you have any thoughts?"

Lin Xiao said: "The electromagnetic interaction force cannot resist neutrons, which represent the strong interaction force, so why don't we try to use materials with strong interaction force?"

"Strong interaction material?"

Everyone was stunned.

Li Gang couldn't help laughing: "Academician Lin, you don't want to talk about that science fiction novel, do you?"

"Although the strong interaction force material is indeed a material that is indeed possible in the distant future, it may be more difficult to realize than our controllable nuclear fusion, right?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "That's true, it may be more difficult."

"However, what if it is realized from other aspects?"

"In other ways?"

Li Gang, as well as the people around him, couldn't help being puzzled.

The person who invented the room temperature superconductor, does he have any other fantastic ideas now?

However, Lin Xiao did not answer directly, but raised his head, looked around, and finally asked, "Excuse me, do you have any draft paper and pen?"

Song Tao next to him immediately said: "There are some, there is an office next door, you can get them anywhere."

Then he motioned to the person next to him, and the person quickly left the reception room, went to the next door to get a draft paper and a pen, and placed them in front of Lin Xiao.

Then, everyone turned their attention to Lin Xiao, wanting to see what this big guy was going to show them.

After Lin Xiao took the pen, he began to write.
