Looking at the solemn expression on the old man’s face, Lu Zhou squatting on the hospital bed, and then laughed.

“Thanks, I don’t have to. I just did what I should do as a Scholar.”

For him, studying difficult questions is a very interesting thing in itself.

Just like solve and a mathematics question.

Whether it’s exploring and thinking about the unknown, or finally coming out of the maze, it all makes him feel happy.

No matter what others think, at least he thinks so.

And never changed.

Therefore, even without the spur of system mission, without the expectations placed on him, after seeing the dawn of controllable fusion, he will do his best to bring it to this world.

However, if there is no such pressure, it will probably not come so fast that’s all…

The old man’s expression is moving, and he whispered softly: “It’s a great honor to have a Scholar like mister!”

Lu Zhou said humblely: “You are serious. If there is no other person’s cooperation and the support of various departments, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such an achievement based on the strength of me alone.”

The old man laughed and did not say anything.

Although the Manhattan Project is the result of the joint efforts of thousands of people, no one will ignore the importance of Oppenheimer.

After a pause, he spoke.

“In any case, you are the hero of the country. If you have any requirements, please let me know.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou laughed said: “It is better to say that it is a suggestion than a request.”

The expression on the face of the old man is neat and serious: “Let Professor please.”

Lu Zhou: “The breakthrough of controllable fusion technology will inevitably have an impact on the traditional energy industry while bringing about changes in productivity. If these contradictions are not properly handled, these contradictions are likely to become obstacles to social change.”

When I heard this sentence, the old man was lightly laughed: “This Lu-Professor is relieved, we don’t have such a problem.”

Different from Western countries.

In China, there is no real “energy giant”.

Whether it is three barrels of oil or the national grid, although it is nominally a business, its essence, whether it is the top or the second, the first attribute of their identity is not a capitalist.

After all, the socialist market economy does not fully serve the capital.

In the face of higher interests, there are only two ways to choose the benefits under this. Either follow the trend of history or be left behind by the wheel.

This includes, and is not limited to, capital.

When I heard the old man’s words, Lu Zhou was nodded.

Since he has already considered it, he has not said much.

How to balance the interests of all parties, how to properly arrange the practitioners in the coal-fired power industry, these topics are in the field of sociology and economics, he does not want to talk too much, and he believes that the Institute of Social Sciences is more than He knows more about experts in this area.

What he is interested in, and what he is responsible for, is just research.

Therefore, if the first question is just a casual mention, then the second question is the topic he really wants to say.

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued to say: “The second thing is about controllable fusion itself.”

The old man said seriously: “Let Professor please.”

Lu Zhou, who leans on the soft pillow and stares at the ceiling of the ward, simply sorts out the thoughts in his mind and slowly opens his mouth: “The current fuel for controllable fusion is sputum, and after solving the problem of self-sustaining, controllable fusion Technology has the basis of commercialization. However, no matter how much self-sustaining efficiency, it is inevitable that there will be a loss of quality.”

“Therefore, there is also a point in the academic world, that is, the reaction of 氘 and 氦3 as a reactant for fusion reaction. Since D and 氦3 are generated by fusion, electrons are generated instead of neutrons, so for reactor materials The loss is lower and it can release more energy.”

A little can’t keep up with Lu Zhou’s thoughts, the old man frowned slightly: “氦3?”

Lu Zhou nodded: “If you can’t understand, you can think of the DT fusion reactor we are using now as coal burning, and the tertiary fusion is understood to be oil burning.”

This can be said to be a relatively abstract metaphor.

Although academically speaking, it is not rigorous, but it can be easily understood by ordinary people.

Old man: “You said that this 3 fusion, I am afraid it is not so easy to achieve.”

Lu Zhou laughed: “That’s for sure.”

The more charge the nucleus carries, the greater the repulsion of the Coulomb, and the greater the kinetic energy required for the nucleus to approach, ie, the smaller the reaction cross section.

According to theoretical calculations, the 氘-氚 fusion reaction cross section is several times that of the fusion reaction cross section of 氘-氦3. This means that the Lawson criterion for achieving a fusion reaction may mean a high temperature of 1.

In terms of existing technical means, it is unlikely that 想要3 will be used as a fuel for a fusion reactor.

Therefore, helium tripoly is also widely regarded as an ideal fuel for second-generation fusion.

The old man was silent for a while and asked: “The power generation cost of the DT fusion reactor is already low enough, and it is inexhaustible for hundreds of years. Do we have to do this to develop this third resource now?”

Lu Zhou: “I think it is still necessary.”

Old man: “Oh?”

Lu Zhou succinctly said: “The 氦 聚 fusion reaction does not produce neutrons, which is safer than the 氘氚 reaction. From an engineering point of view, this is also the only possibility to achieve miniaturization and weight reduction of the fusion reactor. On the one hand, the controllable fusion reactor is now ignited, and in the case of feasible technical routes and solutions, the next country with the controllable fusion technology will be born in the last twenty years.”

It is not before the industrial era, no technology in the information age is permanently confidential.

Even if others may not be as good at STAR-2 in control schemes and anti-irradiation materials, they can achieve a limited degree of proximity. Just like the atomic bomb, the road of the latecomer is always flatter than the first mover.

The way to maintain advantage has never been to lock the door, but to walk in front of others forever.

Upon hearing this sentence, the old man’s face showed a serious expression and continued to ask: “What is your suggestion?”

Lu Zhou said seriously: “Restart the manned landing program.”

Of course, just landing on the moon is not enough.

It is best to establish permanent research stations, even outposts of colonial space, and even cities…

A little can’t keep up with Lu Zhou’s thinking of jumping, the old man hesitated a little, then said with a smile: “Why did you suddenly pull into the sky?”

Lu Zhou laughed, explained: “Yu San resources are extremely rare in Earth and are not suitable as industrial fuels, but their reserves are quite abundant on the moon. If we want to lead forever, we must run forever for others. The front. Whether technical or resource itself.”

Hear here, the old man is thoughtfully nodded.

Seeing that the old man seemed to understand what he wanted to say, Lu Zhou continued to say hot.

“The energy problem has been solved. We have already got tickets to the space age ten years or even twenty years ago. Now the new continent is in front of us. We are closer to anyone than anyone else. If we don’t touch it there, It is also a pity.” Lu Zhou laughed, the tone gradually brought a bit of fascination, “The current interests are important, but on this basis we should also look forward to a farther future.”

“On our heads, one day sooner or later, there will be the Persian Gulf in the new century. Not only energy, but also inexhaustible minerals. From the moon system to the more distant Star River, there will be our gateway to the universe. Springboard. Whoever has mastered it means that you have mastered the entire stellar system and mastered the future!”

Compared with international politics and financial markets, as a Scholar, Lu Zhou is more concerned about the future.

Although the blueprint in his mind may not be realized in this era, it does not prevent him from doing something about it.

He believes that he will see it someday.

Even if you can’t see it, someone will see it for him.

One of the hearts seems to be touched. The old man looked at Lu Zhou and said seriously: “We will seriously consider your proposal.”

I looked at my watch and saw that time was almost there. He stood up from the stool.

At this time, the old man suddenly thought of something, so he changed into the tone of gossiping, and eased the atmosphere and said, “I was originally interested in visiting the disease, but I did not expect to talk to the patient for an hour of the national major event. Speaking of it, Lu-Professor is not going to think about it for yourself?”

Lu Zhou: “Own?”

Old man: “Yes.”

From the beginning, he asked Lu Zhou himself if there was anything he wanted.

As long as he is within his ability, he will find a way to satisfy his wishes.

However, this young people in front of him once again surprised him.

Staring at the ceiling for a while, Lu Zhou laughed said: “This question is too difficult. I really don’t have anything special… In fact, my current livelihood is nothing. If there is any wish. In addition to the research itself, it is probably the result of seeing my own research that can be properly used.”

Expression slightly moving, the old man solemnly promised: “I can assure you about this.”

Lu Zhou laughed said, “Well, then I am relieved.”
