Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In the frontier research field of the theoretical Physics world, for an unpredictable chaotic system, the more common practice is to throw a particle into the path.

The system was observed indirectly by observation of the particles.

In fact, Lu Zhou proposed this experimental idea, largely due to his earlier work experience at CERN.

If the whole system in which the plasma is located is regarded as a billiard table in a black box, and the plasma is used as a billiard on the table, then there is nothing more than a moving direction in a fixed direction. The situation on the clearing table.

As for the particles that are used as “white balls”, there is no more suitable than 3.

First of all, its atomic diameter is small enough, three consists of two protons and one neutron, which is close to the atomic mass of helium, and the nuclear structure is more stable! Not only is it possible to avoid indistinguishable multi-atomic collisions in the sense of probability, but it is also easier to pass through the plasma.

In order to reach the temperature at which 3 and 氘 fusion reaction occurs, at least one hundred times of the existing temperature and electromagnetic field can be satisfied, so even if it is finally used on a star-like device, basically, it can be neglected to participate in fusion. React this situation.

So, using 3 to do this experiment is a perfect fit!

Considering the number of particles in the entire plasma system, the perturbation of a 氦3 atom to the entire system is almost negligible. After all, throwing an atom into the whole system can be much smaller than inserting a probe!

The 3 atoms passing through the plasma collide with the particles in the system. The electromagnetic waves generated in the collision act as “sounds” and are heard by the observation device connected to the outside of the device. Based on these data, the plasma within the body can be analyzed. Macroscopic and microscopic parameters.

After that, the 氦3 atoms passing through the plasma will collide with the target material, and the impact data will be fed back while detaching from the entire system.

As long as the 氦3 atom as a “detector” is continuously emitted to the plasma, and the electromagnetic wave data generated by the collision and the impact data collected on the target material are collected, Lu Zhou is confident that it can be indirectly analyzed by the method of mathematics. 3 is disturbed in the plasma system, which indirectly pushes out the various attributes of the system itself.

If you say this too abstract, you can make a simple analogy.

We measure the refractive index of water. If the water itself is directly studied, the whole experiment is undoubtedly complicated. However, if a beam of light is injected into the water and the refractive index is calculated by observing the change in the angle between the light and the interface, the whole experiment becomes much simpler.

Lu Zhou’s experimental idea is to use 氦3 particles as the light that enters the plasma!

“…we only need to set up a palm-sized target material on the first wall of the imitation star to capture the 3 particles emitted from the atomic gun. It can be detected by the collision of 3 with the helium atom during the recording period. The electromagnetic wave signal, and the data of the carrying energy, impact angular momentum, etc. when the final 3 hits the target, indirectly analyze the data carried by the plasma under high temperature pressure!”

“I don’t say if this can be done,” stared at Lu Zhou, and the Razerson Professor said seriously. “Are you sure you have the data and processed them? If we launch N particles, it’s involved.” The variable will exceed the Nth power of N not only! It also takes into account that the plasma itself is disturbed by the magnetic field…”

When the variables of a physics model are large enough, it will be a calculation that the supercomputer cannot do.

However, the words of Lazerson Professor did not intimidate Lu Zhou.

In a positive tone, Lu Zhou replied to Razerson’s question: “Does people know that I am not sure, but I have more than 90%.”

There are two concepts to building a mathematics model and solving a mathematics model. Although this variable looks very large, in fact, those things that require super-calculations are a headache.

If only a theoretical model is established, Lu Zhou is quite confident about his ability.

There was a slight hesitation in the eyes, and Lazerson Professor still could not believe the decision.

In theory, this idea seems to work, but the premise is that Lu Zhou can complete the theoretical model that he promised, based on the electromagnetic excitation data of the 3 atoms.

If the collected data cannot be used effectively, even if they succeed in the end, it will only be a waste of effort.

Data that cannot be used is better than the “noise” in the experiment.

“…give me a reason to believe that you can do it.”

“Goldbach guessed enough?”

Lazerson Professor categorically said: “Not enough! That only shows that you are an expert in the field of number theory, and it doesn’t mean anything to me!”

“The theoretical model of the interface structure of electric chemistry?” Seeing that the Lazerson Professor subconsciously intended to refute, Lu Zhou immediately rushed in front of him and said, “I know what you want to say, which proves at most that I am calculating chemistry and theoretical chemistry. Strength does not explain the same research for plasma, right?”

The Lazerson Professor did not speak, but his eyes had already explained his thoughts.

Lu Zhou did not feel discouraged and continued.

“But what I want to tell you is that the things I have studied are, in the final analysis, the processing of data, and the size of the data I have processed is not much smaller than the amount of data we are about to face!”

This time, Lazzarson Professor did not speak, but fell silent, seems to be thinking.

Seeing that he did not speak, Lu Zhou continued to say next to him.

“Believe me, it sounds difficult, but it is not difficult to solve! What we did was just insert a probe called 氦3 into the plasma. The only thing that sounds incredible is that it The volume is only one atom.”

“If we succeeded…”

After a pause, Lu Zhou stared at his eyes and said seriously, “This is undoubtedly a Nobel Prize-winning invention.”

The Nobel Prize is not just a reward for great theoretical discoveries, it is also worthy of rewarding major inventions that change human civilization.

For example, this year, the Nobel Chemistry Award, which was announced in 17 in 10, was awarded to the three Scholars who invented the cryo-electron microscope, because the biology scientists really watered thesis by their invention.

Just as Qiu Lao’s mister’s sentence, if you can establish some kind of observation, directly observe the macroscopic and microscopic parameters of the plasma system under high temperature and pressure, and the driving effect on the whole plasma physics is huge.

Moreover, this technology will undoubtedly promote the development of the entire controllable nuclear fusion project!

“This sounds…”

Taking off the glasses on the bridge of the nose, Razerson’s fingers twitched and removed the glasses from the pocket, constantly rubbing against the lenses.

The more the lens shines, the more the pupils in the lens become more and more excited.

However, he has been unable to make this idea.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Lu Zhou glanced at the watch.

Just as Lu Zhou had a loose shoulder and was about to give up persuasion and turn to find other people to cooperate, Razerson Professor suddenly put on his glasses again.

When he looked forward to Lu Zhou again, there was no contemptuous expression in the murky sight.

replaced by……

Excited!

“…this sounds interesting, it seems!”

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou was finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, extending his right hand.

“I am very happy to hear this answer.”

All in all, the answer he got was not “it sounds unrealistic.”

……

Convince the Lazerson Professor, saving Lu Zhou a lot of trouble.

Princeton’s Plasma Physics Lab has world-class standards and has research agreements with many of the world’s controllable nuclear fusion research units, both in terms of resources and talent.

This is not what other research institutions do not have.

If Razerson’s Professor is ultimately unwilling, Lu Zhou can only send a letter to the Max Planck Society, and try to go to the Maple Institute for plasma physics research.

As for the money to build a laboratory that is comparable to PPPL in research and development capabilities…

And regardless of the scientific research resources that are difficult to buy with money, in short, hundreds of millions of dollars is definitely not enough.

After a collaborative research agreement with the Lazerson Professor, Lu Zhou referred to the recommendations of other experts in the institute and named the technology in the shackle “He3 atom probe” for the sake of discussion.

The name of the project team is more concise and only three characters –

“He-3”

In the next few days, Lu Zhou basically traveled between the Institute of Advanced Studies and the Plasma Physics Laboratory, either reading the literature related to plasma research, or with the Razerson Professor and “He-3.” The plasma physics experts and engineers of the project team sat together to exchange ideas on specific experimental designs.

Obviously, the end of theoretical research did not make Lu Zhou more leisurely. The new work that followed was to make him more busy.

Just as Lu Zhou was busy with the “He-3” project, he unwittingly went to the publication of the new edition of the “mathematics annual”.

He contributed the thesis in the “mathematics annual” and also officially met with colleagues in the field of partial differential equations.

For the publication of the results of this phase, Lu Zhou did not pay too much attention to the response of the mathematics community.

At least in his opinion, this is not a particularly outstanding research result, at most, it only adds a brick to the research of the predecessors.

However, sometimes fate is so wonderful.

What surprised Lu Zhou was that the development of things was exactly the opposite of what he expected.

This stone that he threw himself into the lake did not sink down. Instead, he floated on the calm lake…
