Chapter 413 Wu’s Speed
Strong magnetic field confinement is to restrain the plasma movement in the fusion reaction and allow the reaction to occur within confinement. This is controllable nuclear fusion.

Gather strength to avoid the danger of scattered plasma and further attack on the first wall material.You must know that the fusion reaction starts at millions of degrees Celsius, and for long-term operation, it must maintain a high temperature of more than [-] million degrees Celsius. This temperature is more than seven times that of the sun!
The cooling system, water-cooled divertor... are all designed to operate at ultra-high temperatures for the fusion reaction, so that the fusion reaction can operate stably for a long time, so that people can use the fusion energy to convert it into energy for human life.

The research on all-tungsten water-cooled divertor is a key area of ​​fusion research at home and abroad, and technical achievements have been accumulated.However, considering the embrittlement effect of materials, especially the heat sink material (chromium zirconium copper) of the tungsten-copper divertor under neutron irradiation, can the divertor of the current ITER structure be directly extrapolated to the operation of future fusion reactors? conditions, there are still many issues that need to be explored.

After having a foundation in the first wall of materials, Wu Tong did not feel that the subsequent research was too difficult.Compared with the first wall materials that have always troubled international progress, water-cooled divertors still have a good foundation both internationally and domestically. On this basis, further optimization should be better than developing the first wall from scratch. The materials are a little easier.

"Has the result been obtained for the first wall of materials?" Wu Tong told Chu Hengyuan in an understatement, but it was an uncontrollable surprise.

After all, the first wall material needs to be extremely resistant to high temperatures, and must also be able to solve the problem of neutron impact radiation, which has really troubled mankind for decades and made controllable nuclear fusion a curse that is still 50 years away from the future. The big question that shrouds lies.

And now, they have made a breakthrough in the first wall material. They are at the forefront of the world again. The first wall material, coupled with the previous breakthrough in superconducting materials, will bring about a stronger magnetic field to constrain the plasma. They It can be said that half of the biggest difficulties in the controllable nuclear fusion project have been solved...

This also means that in a short period of time, their controllable nuclear fusion project has gone from being a slim hope to just a hope to a point where it is almost within reach. Why shouldn't Chu Hengyuan be surprised by this progress?

Sure enough, trusting Mr. Wu, there is absolutely no problem. They have to be lucky. China has Wu Tong, and they have to be happy. They have chosen to pile up and support Mr. Wu with all their strength. They have done the right thing!
"Mr. Wu, if you need us to cooperate, just say it, we will fully cooperate!" Too many words of thanks are a little empty. Chu Hengyuan directly represented the superiors and promised Wu Tong that when this news is reported to the superiors, it will be another big deal. Shocked joy.

"The material research and development work for the first wall went more smoothly than I expected! After the material preparation is successful, I may need to conduct material testing in the previous controllable nuclear fusion device. In this regard, I need you to communicate with me and arrange the machine!" Wu Tong does need help from the higher-ups. He only knows about the existence of domestic controllable nuclear fusion institutions and has not established any diplomatic relations. For specific communication, he still needs the assistance of the Ministry of Chu.

"No problem. When you need to make arrangements, please contact me at any time. I will send someone to collect the materials and escort them to make trial arrangements!" Wu Tong Wenwen once again took a decisive step to make a breakthrough, and he continued Wu's speed like this , continuing Wu Tong's usual glorious footsteps and making major breakthroughs in a short period of time, the superiors will definitely cooperate with Mr. Wu's needs at all costs and unconditionally tilt resources to Wu Tong.

Needless to say, Mr. Wu only needs other controllable nuclear fusion devices for material verification. He also needs to dismantle other controllable nuclear fusion devices in China to fill Mr. Wu's test. After weighing and making arrangements, the above will also help Mr. Wu do it.

After Mr. Wu comes up with breakthrough results one after another, whether it is him or the superiors, they will definitely tilt the balance of controllable nuclear fusion towards Mr. Wu. This is the result of scientific research progress, not what path Mr. Wu has taken. , this practical work will be announced to other fusion academic leaders at the seminar tomorrow.Let them understand that Mr. Wu is the chief designer based on his results and not on random decisions made by his superiors.

Chu Hengyuan left with full of longing and joy, while Wu Tong informed the team of the news of the test preparations. "There is progress in the first wall material. Arrange the experimental preparation! Prepare for extraction and synthesis... Prepare for vapor deposition..." Wu Tong handed down the experimental preparation requirements one by one.

Is there a breakthrough?

As expected, it was Mr. Wu who was so fast. They had just done some less successful experiments along the direction they had planned, but Mr. Wu had already achieved results!Sure enough, there is still a deep gap between them and Mr. Wu, and we have to work hard and work hard!

As a team directly under Mr. Wu, they cannot let Mr. Wu leave them too far behind and fail to keep up with Mr. Wu's progress. This will be their biggest loss. Mr. Wu's training and support for them is enough. You have to be careful. If you hadn't led them on the project, I'm afraid Mr. Wu's breakthrough might have been faster.

They must not let down Mr. Wu’s expectations and training!
In the institute, the entire experimental team started to operate from top to bottom. Experimental materials were prepared one by one. All instruments that should be prepared in advance were also prepared in advance. Wu Tong took his place in the laboratory and began to direct the experiment. preparation.The preparation process, during the preparation of the experiment, Wu Tong has repeatedly deduced and perfected it, and can directly enter the experimental preparation.

The verification results in the derivation space are very good.

The members of the team are all capable and experienced people who have adapted to Wu Tong's habits. As Wu Tong issued instructions one after another, they operated step by step and executed them accurately. With the operation and supervision headed by Tao Ran and Ruan Chengxu, the errors were almost undetectable.

The modified carbonized graphene network is used as a toughening component into the high-temperature ceramic base, and silicon carbide is introduced to assist the co-bonding effect to form a unique honeycomb connection, which greatly improves the toughness that the ceramic-based conforming material lacks and maintains the low temperature of the ceramic-based conforming material. The thermal expansion coefficient is also synchronized, which greatly improves the heat resistance and high temperature resistance of the overall material...
And the unique shuttle design assists the sandwich structure to solve the problem of a few uncontrollable neutron impacts during the plasma confinement process and the neutron radiation in fusion reactions.

Whether it is silicide, graphene, or ceramic matrix, the performance has been exceptionally optimized and improved. The performance is much more stable than metal bonds. It is expected to be able to overcome neutron radiation, destructive transmutation of materials, and the destruction of chemical bonds and the ultimate Pure physical destruction of structure!
