Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The interview was scheduled for a week.

Since this time, Lu Zhou has been busy with miniaturization projects for controlled fusion.

In order to increase the temperature peak of the bubble in the working fluid, Lu Zhou and several old professors at the Institute of Acoustics also tried to improve the ultrasonic generator, and by removing the acoustic suspension stabilizer on the generator, the energy of the load in the ultrasonic wave was increased. The maximum sound pressure acting on the bubble is increased from 15 times atmospheric pressure to 30 times.

Of course, there is no cost to doing this.

The acoustic suspension stabilizer was removed and the bubbles in the solution could not float stably in the center of the container.

However, the so-called sonoluminescence does not need to be able to float in a certain position in the container, so this side effect does not matter.

After updating the experimental equipment, Lu Zhou immediately repeated the experiment with Sheng Xianfu, using two gases, a mixture of helium and neon, respectively, to observe the temperature of the bubbles and the critical neutron recovery.

The completed experimental report was handed to Lu Zhou’s hand, Sheng Xianfu’s face with a mixed expression, said.

“The situation is still not optimistic, the peak temperature can reach 10 million Kelvin at the maximum, but the lowest is only 500,000 Kelvin.”

Looking at the experimental report in his hand, Lu Zhou frowned.

“Is the deviation so big?”

Sheng Xianfu’s expression is solemnly nodded: “The temperature changes observed by blackbody radiation are quite unstable. I don’t know if there is something wrong with our observations, or something else.”

If it is possible to make the collapse of each bubble reach the high temperature of 10 million Kelvin, it is possible to stabilize the fusion reaction by pulse ignition in consideration of factors such as volume shrinkage.

Regrettably, however, it seems difficult to do so at the moment.

Lu Zhou continued to ask: “What is the neutron multiplication rate?”

Sheng Xianfu hesitated: “I have improved… but the controllable fusion from a stable distance is still far away.”

Lu Zhou pondered for a while and asked: “What’s the preparation of the new experimental container?”

Sheng Xianfu: “The nuclear industry group has already completed it, and it will be delivered tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this sentence, the expression on Lu Zhou’s face was finally relieved.

He placed the experimental report on the table and he told me to open it.

“Today’s experiment is here, check the equipment tomorrow. Wait until the day after tomorrow, directly on the liquid lithium.”

Sheng Xianfu looks serious nodded.

“Yes!”

As Lu Zhou predicted by calculation, when using lighter liquid lithium as a working liquid, its performance on sonoluminescence did exceed that of concentrated sulfuric acid and aqueous solution. Especially when the mixed gas is introduced, the sound pressure acting on the surface of the bubble is significantly improved, and the maximum atmospheric pressure is 31.7 times.

However, the liquid lithium working at 700 degrees Celsius is still too active, and the experiment is several times more dangerous than the original concentrated sulfuric acid.

Especially in the third experiment, the operator accidentally mixed a small amount of oxygen when preparing the helium gas mixture in the electrolysis of heavy water and super heavy water, which caused a burst of flames in the instant container of the gas.

Fortunately, the dose of oxygen was not large, and several researchers in the laboratory responded in a timely manner, so that the laboratory was rescued. If it is really melted through the working container, the high-temperature liquid lithium in the container will directly contact the air. When it is time to say that it is a laboratory, I am afraid that the wall of the load-bearing wall will be light…

In short, since then, the people of the entire institute of higher learning, watching Sheng Xianfu their eyes are different…

Time passed by, and it was the day of the interview.

In the office of the National Quemoy University, Lu Zhou met the CTV interview team.

It’s quite good to say that the reporter who was interviewing him just had a relationship with him a year ago.

“Hello, Lu Professor,” with a professional smile on his face, He Ying wearing a deep blue business suit extended his right hand and Lu Zhou gently shook his hand and smiled with a good voice. “We meet again.” It is.”

Released her hand, Lu Zhou smiled nodded.

“long time no see, Miss Ho… are we starting now?”

He Ying smiled nodded and said: “Start now.”

Knowing that Lu Zhou’s usual research was very busy, she didn’t waste time on the chill, and soon brought the interview to the topic.

After sitting down on the sofa, He Ying adjusted the sitting position, indicating that the photographer next to him was ready to start, and then continued to change his professional smile. He looked at Lu Zhou and said, “I am honored to have this opportunity to interview you. Before the interview, I want to ask you a few questions on behalf of the audience in front of the TV.”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “Ask, as long as I know and can say, I know everything.”

He Ying bent his lips and said: “Reassuring, it is not a very difficult problem.”

Saying, she paused and continued to say: “We all know that the mass gap problem of the Yang Mills equation is solved, and the unification of strong interaction and electromagnetic action will completely change the subject appearance of the future of the Physics community. However, for most people In other words, this abstraction can only make people feel confused. What do you think about the future of Physics?”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “Is it so difficult to get up?”

He Ying smiled and said: “It is very difficult for others, but it should be no problem for you?”

“Standing from the perspective of a Scholar, about the future of theoretical Physics… I don’t really answer this very well. After all, no one knows if a new physics will be born tomorrow.” Lu Zhou thought for a while, Continue to say, “In the long-term goal, what the theoretical Physics family wants for life is naturally a unified theory. Now the strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction have successfully bridged the bridge, and the rest is gravity. Of course, about gravity. Part of it is also very little known to us. Maybe after a century of exhaustion, we can only understand a little fur.”

He Ying expression seriously asked: “Is there a conclusion about the cause of gravity?”

Lu Zhou: “Of course, gravity is probably the most mysterious field in Physics. Although we may feel more intuitive about it than the other three basic forces, we know it the least. Even string theory and circle quantum gravity. The reasons for its birth are explained in two diametrically opposite ways, but it is known that no one can say for sure today who is right.”

He Ying continued to ask: “What is the more realistic goal?”

Leaning on the sofa, Lu Zhou thought for a moment: “More realistic, or short-term goals, naturally verify and explore the standard model. Although the standard model is great enough, through theoretical research and some Experiments, we can always find something that exists outside of the standard model.”

Having said that, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and said in a joking tone: “For example, m particles. Although I don’t know what it looks like, but through the methods of mathematics, I can prove that it does exist. If anyone can find it, we It is possible to add a new puzzle to the building of the standard model.”

He Ying: “This sounds very exciting.”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “Of course, the exploration of the unknown is an exciting thing in itself.”

He Ying: “However, however, theoretical Physics is still a very distant existence for most of us. Can you explain to us that the study of theoretical Physics is for our society, for our civilization, What impact can you see?”

Lu Zhou has been thinking about this for a long time.

Just when He Ying began to wonder if he had asked any questions that were inconvenient to answer, and when he was ready to let the photographer cut this paragraph, Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.

“This is a very abstract proposition. It’s hard for me to tell you about a theoretical physics discovery that can produce what ordinary people can see. It’s like Higgs particles, gravitational waves, and so on. What is found or obtained from this universe is mostly useless to most people.”

“Even even including the m particles that I said earlier, even on the basis of the unified theory of power and electricity and the unified theory of weak electricity, we have further unified the four basic forces, and this universe will not change anything because of us. Perhaps I will explore the funds of theoretical physics to improve the livelihood. It is indeed possible to let more people fill their stomachs in a certain period of time and make our livelihood better.”

Having said that, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued with a serious tone.

“However, if no one is going to do something that is considered useless, we will have no future.”
