the other side.
After obtaining Li Yang's permission, Tan Guohua went straight to the Tianhe-3 computer room and found the staff responsible for the data calculation of the plan.
"Is Comrade Li Yang's plan in progress?"
He asked, looking somewhat urgent.
Zeng Bo standing by was also looking forward to it.
The staff member immediately responded respectfully.
"President Tan, Comrade Li Yang has been calculating the plan for some time."
"What are the calculation results?"
Tan Guohua asked.
The staff member's expression became a little strange, he hesitated and didn't answer for a long time.
Zeng Bo became anxious.
"Hey, no matter what the result is, just tell me!"
the staff member said.
"The final result is still being calculated, and only half of it is out at the moment."
"but……"
He didn't know how to start, so after thinking about it, he simply retrieved Li Yang's plan.
"President Tan, you should take a look for yourself!"
After saying that, he took the initiative to give up his seat.
This plan cannot be explained in a few words.
Or.
This plan is completely different from the ones he had seen before!
Tan Guohua also realized something was wrong at this time, and he walked forward to check.
"Z pinch?!"
At the beginning of the proposal, there are some brief introductions and explanations.
He had seen all this before, and after glancing briefly at it, he looked back.
result……
As soon as the page appeared, Tan Guohua was shocked by the design drawings in front of him.
"It's actually Z pinch!"
"Comrade Li Yang actually used the Z-pinch technique to confine plasma!"
Z-pinch is a technology that uses strong axial current to generate a magnetic field to confine and compress plasma. It achieves rapid heating of plasma through the interaction between current and magnetic field.
The screen in front of him showed the Z pinch.
The Z pinch appears to be a simple cylinder, and its structure is actually very simple.
The core components of Z pinch are only a few such as pulse power source, gas puff, wire array load, etc.
Its operation is also extremely simple and clear, and is mainly divided into four stages:
Plasma formation, current loading and pinching, implosion compression and thermalization, and fusion reactions and radiation.
Z pinch is a plasma confinement technology under magnetic confinement, just like tokamaks and stellarators.
the difference is.
Compared to the tokamak, the confinement mechanism of the Z pinch is a self-consistent magnetic field, while the tokamak is an external magnetic field.
Whether it is a tokamak, a stellarator, or a Z pinch, each has its own advantages.
However, the current mainstream plasma confinement technologies are still tokamaks and stellarators.
Although the Z pinch has a simple structure and low cost, its stability is too poor and the radiation loss is high.
In the past few years, many countries have rushed to adopt Z-pinch, but after discovering that the Z-pinch constraint time is short and the energy loss is high, it has gradually been abandoned by many research and development teams.
Tan Guohua never expected that Li Yang would do the opposite and choose Z pinch to confine the plasma.
At this time.
Zeng Bo, who was looking at the plan with Tan Guohua, shouted in surprise.
“Hiss… We developed an AI-driven real-time feedback system, combined with a high-speed camera and a magnetic probe, to suppress Z-pinch instability.”
"Based on the high-temperature superconducting pulse transformer, the current is increased to 50MA!"
"President Tan, if Engineer Li's innovative breakthroughs can be effective, wouldn't it mean that the only two shortcomings of the Z pinch: instability and radiation loss will be completely solved?"
"Z pinch will overtake tokamaks and stellarators in one fell swoop and become the mainstream plasma confinement technology, and is expected to be directly commercialized!"
As a young graduate from the academy, Zeng Bo did not choose to enter the official career, but resolutely studied multiple disciplines.
He has always been very interested in the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion.
This is also one of the reasons why he chose to join the Gendu Supercomputing Center.
Here, he can learn things that he cannot learn in the Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion.
at this time.
After hearing Zeng Bo's comments on these two methods, the staff nearby also became excited.
"That's right!"
"If these two methods can be realized, the scientific research status of Z-pinch will be greatly improved, and it is very likely to become the mainstream plasma confinement technology in the near future!"
It was precisely because he saw these two methods that he became extremely uneasy and did not dare to jump to conclusions about the plan.
Regardless of the calculation results of Li Yang's plan, these two methods alone provide a lot of ideas for domestic research and development teams.
if you can.
He was eager to tell other domestic research and development teams about the methods involved in the plan right away.
But this is obviously not allowed.
Not to mention that Li Yang's consent was not obtained, even if he agreed, it would still require review and approval at the national level.
Tan Guohua nodded solemnly.
He was not surprised that Zeng Bo knew so much. This kid had already demonstrated his impressive strength when he talked with him on weekdays.
"You're right!"
"Although we still don't know what the final calculation results of Comrade Li Yang's plan will be, these two innovative methods alone are enough to show that this plan is extraordinary."
Li Yang really gave him a big surprise.
This was just the first version of the plan, but it did not follow the usual path. Not only did it not choose the mainstream tokamak device as the plasma confinement device, but it chose the Z pinch that is now gradually being abandoned.
What’s even more surprising is...
I thought the Z-pinch was chosen just to save costs, but Li Yang really intended to use the obvious advantages of the Z-pinch, such as its simple structure and low cost, to achieve results far exceeding those of ordinary Z-pinch technology.
Once these two methods can be realized, it will be a piece of cake for the Z pinch to catch up with the stellarator and surpass the tokamak.
The most exciting thing is the commercialization of controlled nuclear fusion!
Now we have to see how much the calculation results deviate...
If the deviation is large, he will immediately discuss with Li Yang and share the plan with other domestic companies and units.
Using the method proposed by Li Yang and combining it with current progress, we will work together to be the first to produce a test sample to see if it is feasible.
If the result is within the margin of error, then things are much simpler.
In the plasma confinement module, Li Yang can devote himself to research and development according to this plan.
Thinking of this, Tan Guohua continued to look at the rest of the plan.
The following content is even more boring and complicated.
The entire article was filled with all kinds of confusing formulas and derivation processes. Even though Tan Guohua maintained a learning attitude, his eyes couldn't stand the soreness after reading for more than an hour.
"Alas, I'm getting old. Seeing so many numbers gives me a headache!"
He shook his head, his smile somewhat bitter.
Turning to look at Zeng Bo, he discovered the light in his eyes...
