From small town academic to chief scientist - Chapter 367 A small nuclear fusion pile is formed!

Time flies by for five months, from February to July.

Except for the unshakable flower viewing during the Qingming Festival,

The rest of the time was basically spent in the laboratory.

The influence brought by the Chou National Mathematics Annual Conference is not great.

On the contrary, it improved the reputation of Zhouyi, its students and direct disciples of some academicians of Chongqing Higher Academy of Sciences.

There is a feeling of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

Anyone with a discerning eye now knows that the afterglow of Chou Country’s mathematics community is still there, but it is fading;

The Institute of Mathematics of Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study is like the rising sun;

The potential between the two is very different. As for strength,

With Zhou Yi here, which mathematical research center in the world dares to say it surpasses Zhou Yi?

At a time when countries around the world are stepping up research on controllable nuclear fusion.

Good news came from the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Institute of Chongqing High Court.

After half a year of research, we finally achieved the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion.

Not only has the heat dissipation problem been solved, but the height is consistent with aircraft carriers, space carriers, and aviation spacecrafts.

In less than a year, all conventionally powered aircraft carriers owned by Rabbit Country can be upgraded and replaced with nuclear fusion powered aircraft carriers.

As for the space carrier, after the success of miniaturization of nuclear fusion reactors,

It’s only a matter of time before it comes out.

Zhou Yi looked at this small nuclear fusion reactor and clenched his fists.

The entire solar system was finally trampled under the feet of humans.

Academician Pan on the side said:

“Two plasma groups are injected into a spin vortex of liquid lead to fuse into a compact annular plasma, and then quickly squeezed inward with a set of pistons.

The liquid lead forms a strong sound wave, and the sound waves converge in the center to cause the plasma to explode centripetally, achieving nuclear fusion ignition.

This idea is somewhat similar to that of the U.S. and Canada. However, in view of our previous nuclear fusion breakthrough technology,

Even if they wanted to catch up, it would be impossible within twenty years. “

Academician Li Jiangang said:

“Maybe it’s more than twenty years. In twenty years they can break through nuclear fusion, but miniaturization may take another ten to twenty years.

As long as we don’t publish the basic theories of mathematics, physics and many other disciplines involved, they can explore them. “

After saying this, the two of them looked at Zhou Yi at the same time.

The shock in his eyes is beyond words.

Strong, too strong.

One person supports all scientific research directions of the entire Chongqing High School.

Academician Li Jiangang seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhou Yi:

“Academician Zhou, do you want this news to be announced?”

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“I want to announce it, but I don’t know what the idea is.

However, the follow-up cannot be concealed. It is equipped with aircraft carriers, spaceships, and even space carriers later on.

All information will be obtained by the ugly country and the outside world. “

Academician Li said:

“Then let’s report it to the superior first and wait for the decision to be made.”

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“Well, let’s not make a rash decision on such a big matter, just do what a scholar should do.”

Not long after, Zhou Yi dialed the phone number of the upper level.

The voice on the other end of the phone said kindly:

“Hey, it’s Zhou Yi, why did you remember to call me?”

Zhou Yi said very solemnly:

“Today I mainly have a very important news to tell you.”

The person on the phone was stunned for a moment, then he thought of what Zhou Yi was working on half a year ago, and he was instantly overjoyed and asked excitedly:

“Success?”

Zhouyi said:

“Yes, small nuclear fusion reactors have been completely successful.

It can be installed on aircraft carriers and Yuzhou spacecraft at any time.

From then on, the resources of the entire solar system belong to our Rabbit Kingdom. “

The voice on the other end of the phone trembled:

“Academician Zhou Yi, are you serious about this? Don’t make fun of yourself!”

Zhou Yi smiled, knowing that the other party wanted a very certain result, so he said very solemnly:

“I’m never wrong. Zhao Dayou, who witnessed the miracle with us, should report everything to you in detail.

The problem now is that we need to expand the production line. We first need 5 devices for spacecraft. By then, the energy of the space station will also be able to use nuclear fusion. “

“Okay, okay, you are our great hero, no problem, I will make all these parts cooperate with you.”

The other end of the phone said excitedly.

Zhou Yi continued:

“This thing can also be used for space carriers. Aircraft carriers may be eliminated. I give you a suggestion. 8 aircraft carriers are enough now.

Just replace everything with nuclear fusion devices, and go all out to increase the construction of space carriers.

The future must be dominated by space carriers. “

The person on the phone said:

“Okay, Academician Zhou, we will all analyze and consider it, and we will attach great importance to your opinions.”

Zhouyi said:

“Does this news need to be announced?”

The person on the phone said:

“It can be announced. The motivation for replacing aircraft carriers in the future cannot be concealed even if it is wanted to.

And there is no need to hide this. “

Zhouyi said:

“Okay, then I’ll announce it first.”

After the old man Rabbit on the other end of the phone hung up,

I immediately called Party J.

After the call was connected, Elder Rabbit immediately said:

“Send an additional strengthened LV to the Chongqing High Court, and equip various defense configurations according to my configuration.

All treatments are the same as mine, especially life security. “

JUN, the person on the other end of the phone, said in confusion:

“That is already a top-level configuration. Do we still need to configure it according to your requirements?”

“Well, the sooner the better.”

Elder Rabbit had an unquestionable tone.

“Why? I can’t figure it out! Even if Zhou Yi is our hero, he can’t compare with you.”

Jiangjun asked with a very puzzled tone.

“Bastard, just do it as you are told. You will know later. There will be a time in the future when you beg him.”

“OK.”

After hanging up the phone, Elder Rabbit said to himself:

“It’s time to find an opportunity to award him that medal, otherwise it will be unjustifiable.”

After Zhou Yi received the approval, he said to Academician Li Jiangang and others:

“Once you get a reply, you can announce it. Also, if you have anything else that needs to be done, please list it down immediately.

At that time, the first step for the spacecraft is to land on the moon, and the second is to go to Mars. “

Academician Pan immediately said:

“There are quite a lot of interstellar experiments. We will outline an outline later.

Of course, experiments are needed not only in our direction, but also in many directions such as biomedicine.

Academician Zhou Yi can also prepare, and a set of cyclic aerospace devices also needs to be studied by scientific researchers. “

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“We should be able to successfully land the first spacecraft on the moon by the end of the year at the latest.”

Li Jiangang hesitated and said:

“What about military aircraft carriers?”

Zhou Yi curled his lips and said:

“We can only wait for the follow-up, let’s be in the second echelon.

At present, we are going all out to build five 100MW small nuclear fusion reactors for use in spacecraft. “

Academician Li Jiangang said:

“If you want large-scale colonization, robots are essential, and you have to prepare for these.”

Zhouyi said:

“A few years ago, I asked Ding Jian to work on robots.”

“Ding Jian!? The winner of the Davidson Award and the ICCM Golden River? The mathematical genius from Beijing University?”

Academician Pan exclaimed.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“Now he is from our Chongqing High Court, not from Beijing University.”

“The robots developed now are of great use. Some labor-intensive jobs can be replaced by them. Many factories have already implemented unmanned operations.”

Zhou Yi continued,

“There are a lot of things involved. Now that the production line is qualified, we are just waiting for our spacecraft to fly up.

I will also build a super large particle collider on the moon in the future. “

“Isn’t CEPC enough?”

Li Jiangang suddenly asked.

Zhou Yi shook his head and said:

“It may not be enough. What if we can’t find symmetrical particles?

It can be maximized on the moon. If CEPC can find symmetrical particles, it will be fine. If not,

The super large particle collider on the moon may be found, and even if it is not found, string theory can be brought to an end. “

Zhao General JUN on the side asked in confusion:

“Is it necessary to spend so much money on this scientific experiment? Is it of any application value?”

Zhou Yi, Academician Li Jiangang and Academician Pan did not speak, and the whole laboratory was a little quiet.

One researcher said:

“It is very necessary. String theory and many other basic studies that seem boring or difficult to understand,

The reason why major countries around the world are attracted to continue to invest in research is that they all have the prospect of triggering magical changes.

Quantum mechanics has already caused huge changes in society.

For another example, under the guidance of the theory of mass-energy relationship in the special theory of relativity, scientists eventually created many changes that changed society and changed the status of a country.

For example, current nuclear fusion reactors.

Even technologies such as satellite positioning draw on knowledge of special relativity.

Basic scientific research can bring mankind not only immediate benefits and hardships, but also endless possibilities.

The team led by Academician Zhou Yi also made breakthroughs in mathematical theory and turned nuclear fusion into a reality.

Only with breakthroughs in various basic theories can the sixth-generation fighter jets and artificial intelligence be launched.

Cutting-edge basic research explores the mystery of ‘magic’ and will surely bring epic changes to society.

Therefore, basic scientific research and exploration are necessary, and investment must be increased. “

“What if string theory is proven?”

Zhao Dayou asked with a hint of curiosity.

Zhou Yi’s lips curled up slightly and he said:

“That would be great fun. Maybe the earth we live on is even a folded planet.

Maybe the world is not the world we think it is.

That is something more science fiction than science fiction.

Maybe there are alien creatures in higher dimensions that are more advanced than us.

Maybe that unexplored dimension is us.”

Zhou Yi said a lot.

Zhao Dayou finally said:

“Okay, I don’t understand. I’m only responsible for your safety.”

Zhou Yi looked at the loyal Zhao Dayou and said softly:

“Just like the Calabi Yau manifold, in addition to having a great influence in the field of mathematics when it first came out,

People don’t think it will be of much value in the application direction.

but then. “

Zhou Yi paused for a moment, and Zhao Dayou, a top-ranking military officer, asked:

“What happened next?”

Zhou Yi said calmly:

“Calabi-Yau manifolds play a crucial role in string theory, a theory proposed in fundamental physics.

String theory predicts that the universe has additional dimensions in addition to the usual four (three space dimensions and one time dimension), and it assumes that these dimensions are compact on the Calabi-Yau manifold.

If string theory is correct, the study of Calabi-Yau manifolds may eventually lead to a deeper understanding of the laws of physics. “

Zhao Dayou said doubtfully:

“This seems to be an application of basic theory?”

Zhouyi said:

“Of course it’s more than that.”

“what else?”

Zhao Dayou asked like a curious baby at this moment.

Academician Li Jiangang on the side saw that Zhou Yi said he was tired, so he took the initiative and said:

“For example, mirror symmetry, which is the relationship between the topological properties of two Calabi-Yau manifolds, has important applications in string theory.

There are also huge applications in algebraic geometry.

Mirror symmetry has now been used to predict the behavior of physical systems, such as the number of particles in a black hole. “

Zhou Yi added:

“This is also the reason why Senior Sister Xiao Wanyi is proficient in algebraic geometry. With a generation of mathematics masters to help guide her, her achievements in the future will not be lower than Teacher Qiu.”

Academician Pan also took over the words and said:

“In addition, the Calabi Yau manifold also plays an important role in cryptography.

The complex geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds has been used to develop new cryptographic protocols that are resistant to quantum computer attacks.

The use of Calabi-Yau manifolds in cryptography in particular is based on the fact that it is difficult to compute certain geometric invariants of these manifolds.

Quantum will inevitably become the mainstream of the world in the future. If we take the lead in research, we will be able to lead the world. “

Zhou Yi finally said:

“The influence of basic subjects goes beyond that. Especially Teacher Qiu’s Calabiqiu manifold.”

Zhao Dayou looked shocked. The first two people did not understand the theoretical direction.

But he knows a lot about resisting quantum computer attacks.

This is a weapon of the country!

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“In the direction of machine learning, it also has extremely high application value.

For developing new algorithms for unsupervised learning. In particular, the geometry of these manifolds can be used to create embeddings of high-dimensional data that preserve important geometric features.

This plays a vital role for robots. “

Zhao Dayou is a little numb. He has always heard that the progress of basic subjects is revolutionary progress.

Now listening to Zhou Yi say this, it seems to be true.

“Then will our Chongqing High Court study it further?”

Zhao Dayou asked.

Zhouyi said:

“Of course, we are studying both cryptography and machine learning and the basic theory just mentioned.

In particular, cryptography is not only related to Calabiyu manifolds, but also closely related to number theory.

Number theory is one of the powerful subjects of the Department of Mathematics at Chongqing Higher Institute of Technology. “

“Academician Zhou will last through the ages.”

Zhao Dayou said with admiration, even a hint of admiration.

Zhou Yi changed the topic, so you have to agree with your side about the first miniaturized nuclear fusion device to be produced.

Zhao Dayou said fiercely:

“Don’t worry, they don’t dare to have any objections. They will only ask you to create more black technology.”

Zhouyi said:

“All black technologies are produced incidentally after theoretical breakthroughs.

There will only be more and more black technologies in the future, so you should be mentally prepared and don’t make a fuss as if you have never seen the world before. “

Zhao Dayou said immediately:

“Okay, Academician Zhou! We promise not to be embarrassed.”

PS: The update has been restored, Yang Kang. I almost thought it was going to burn, blanch!
