In the end, Senior Brother Luo still stubbornly did not accept his proposal, saying that the cheque of the Clay Institute would be brought back completely and handed over to Lu Zhou.

Later, Lu Zhou thought about it carefully and felt that his proposal was indeed a little flawed, so he did not make it difficult for Senior Brother Luo. Instead, he let the finance of the Institute of Advanced Studies give him a travel fee of hundreds of dollars and wish him Have fun in France and new girlfriends.

The money, Senior Brother Luo, did not refuse, not only that, but even went to see him for more than a month of leave.

It seems that he is going to return the money and come back…

And regardless of the Senior Brother Luo in Europe.

These days, Lu Zhou received a congratulatory message from many people.

Among them are his students at Princeton and colleagues at work, as well as peers who have had short-term exchanges or exchange of business cards at academic conferences, as well as friends who have had in-depth exchanges.

For example, Tao Zhexuan.

When they first studied the Goldbach conjecture, the two had a close cooperation, and the relationship in private has been good. Academically, both of them belong to the all-round Skill, and the scope of research covers almost all directions in the mathematics field, so there are many things to talk about.

On the phone, Tao Zhexuan smiled and sent a congratulation: “Congratulations, another thousand problems have fallen in front of you, perhaps the Cray Institute should update their “question bank”. By the way, it is convenient to disclose your The next topic?”

Lu Zhou: “For a while I probably wouldn’t study mathematics, but consider how to use mathematics to change science.”

Tao Zhexuan: “For example, landing on the moon?”

Lu Zhou: “Is one of them!”

Tao Zhexuan: “It sounds very exciting. My wife is NASA, and always share with me some things that are far from my field of study. If you succeeded one day, remember to leave a seat for me. I haven’t traveled to the moon in my life.”

Lu Zhou smiled and made a joke: “There will be a day, I can’t say which day I will send the academic report to the moon.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou got up from the office chair and was about to go downstairs to canteen for lunch. The phone that had just been put in his pocket didn’t last long and rang again.

When I took out my mobile phone and saw it, it was called by Sheng Xianfu. Lu Zhou did not hesitate and immediately pressed the button.

“Hey?”

“Professor…”

I heard the wrong thing in Sheng Xianfu’s voice, Lu Zhou not even think, immediately asked.

“Is it blown again? Didn’t the person hurt? The equipment I borrowed is fine?”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xianfu almost didn’t breathe in a gasp and coughed a few times and said, “What has blown up! We are not studying bombs. Is it so nervous?”

Lu Zhou: “…”

In a sense, the fusion reaction is more terrifying than a normal bomb?

but……

People safe is good.

In the heart of relaxed, Lu Zhou said with a blank voice: “What is your mysterious secret?”

Sheng Xian touched his nose with enthusiasm: “I am not excited?”

Lu Zhou: “…excited?”

“Well,” Sheng Xianfu, who holds the phone, is nodded heavily. He said in a tone with a few vibrato. “We seem to be… successful.”

The phone was silent for half a minute.

Lu Zhou fixed his mind and said took a deep breath.

“I will come over soon, and I will meet and meet.”

After all, Lu Zhou hung up and continued to call Wang Peng.

“Get down to the number of courtyards and pick me up.”

Wang Peng did not ask much, only returned a word.

“it is good.”

A twenty-minute drive, a black red flag was parked at the entrance of the institute.

After getting out of the car, Lu Zhou didn’t have any stops, and quickly passed the entrance control of the institute and went straight to the corner of the institute.

Since the last security incident, the laboratory of the Controlled Fusion Miniaturization Research Group has moved from the corner of the building to a temporary warehouse on the side of the Institute. Even so, people who occasionally pass through here are unconsciously walking around.

Stepping to the door of the lab, Lu Zhou’s front foot was still not at the door, and he heard a burst of cheers in the lab, and the glass trembled with the glass.

“What’s the situation?” hurried into the lab and quickly found Shengxianfu, who was full of excitement, Lu Zhou immediately asked.

“The idea of ​​using liquid metal as a working solution is correct! According to experimental data, when using liquid lithium as a working solution, we can apply a greater sound pressure to the bubble by the ultrasonic emission device! And let the volume of the bubble collapse. The change is more stable!” In order to restrain the excitement in the heart, letting himself speak and look good, Sheng Xianfu’s shoulders are shaking.

When I heard that my guess was verified, Lu Zhou’s face could not help but reveal a happy color.

But compared to success itself, he is more concerned about how they do it.

“Why did you fail last time?”

Sheng Xianfu said with excitement: “In the beginning we tried to increase the power of the ultrasonic generating device. However, the neutron value-added rate could not go up. Finally, we discovered that the key to the problem is the mixture of gases!”

Lu Zhou: “What have you done?”

“We warmed up the injected gas!”

Lu Zhou’s heart immediately said: “Is heating and ionizing the mixed gas?”

Sheng Xianfu’s face is full of joy: “Exactly!”

Lu Zhou’s face showed a faint expression, and probably understood their approach.

By heating and ionizing the helium mixed gas, and then into the liquid lithium through the air inlet, although the ionization temperature of several thousand is not much compared with the instantaneous temperature of tens of millions of degrees, but the expansion state When the ionized gas is driven into the liquid lithium, it will have a larger surface area than the normal temperature state, and the energy transmitted by the sound field to the bubble will also become larger.

In such a case, the bubble that collapses sharply will obtain a larger instantaneous temperature, thereby achieving the conditions for the occurrence of the DT fusion reaction!

Standing next to Sheng Xianfu, Li Changxia Professor is also excited and said: “We found a more stable way to achieve controllable fusion! We are once again in front of World!”

“Yes……”

Looking at the sleek lacquered black metal tube placed in the middle of the lab, Lu Zhou’s face could not help but show a fascination.

The design of the Hall propulsion unit has been recovered from the Remnant No. 3, and the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool is installed in the Space Shuttle Assembly Center. The realization of the production by Xiao AI is completely no problem. Now that the problem of miniaturization of controllable fusion has been solved, there is nothing that can stop him from completing the blueprint in his mind.

Of course, even now it seems that this “reactor” is still very simple, no matter the power or energy utilization is far less than the large-scale magnetic confinement fusion device of Pangu reactor, non-reusable belt The high cost of making it makes it almost impossible to use on general vehicles.

However, this small-scale fusion power generation device itself is not used to power the production of livelihood, so this shortcoming does not matter.

Considering its superiority in volumetric energy density and its power advantage over fission batteries, even if it is “slightly” expensive, it is not a shame.

In conjunction with the Hall propulsion unit he recovered from the Remnant No. 3, the device will redefine the word aerospace, just as the gunpowder redefines the war.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire World will change because of their discovery today…
