Chapter 32 Difficulty and Gambling

“It’s raining outside?”

An hour later, Professor Lin Menglin walked in from outside with an umbrella and a scarf. Seeing this, Lu Yi picked up the remote control and turned the heating twice, and poured a cup of hot water.

There are no windows in the laboratory area and the ventilation system is used to provide air supply. Lu Yi, who has been in the laboratory for a day, did not know what the weather outside is.

"Yeah, it's a little cold."

Lin Meng took the hot water handed over by Lu Yi, stood at the heating air outlet and felt warm all over.

In the winter when there is no snow, there is rain and wind, the body temperature of the person is not higher than that of the environment below minus ten degrees Celsius in the north.

"This is the data analysis result of the second experiment of 58,000 degrees Celsius just now. After preliminary analysis and comparison, it is completely different from Xiaomeng's data at 45,000 degrees Celsius."

Zhang Qing took the preliminary analysis results of the latest data and shook her head a little disappointed with Lu Yi.

Plasma is a fluid, but it is different from ordinary fluids.

First, as the temperature changes, the loss and acquisition of external electrons will also change accordingly, resulting in changes in properties.

Second, the higher the temperature, the stronger the mutual movement of the plasma itself, which will also affect the overall properties of the plasma.

The third is the collision and interference between the bound magnetic field and the plasma. This interference will also form a complex fluctuation with the change of plasma temperature density and the change of magnetic field strength.

These three factors combined together will be enough to form a chaotic and extremely turbulent flow inside the plasma, and even the temperature in the truly controllable nuclear fusion device reaches tens of millions of degrees Celsius, and a fusion reaction has occurred inside, which will add another source of interference to this chaotic system.

Of course, Lu Yi’s prototype is not that powerful at present, and the fourth factor can be ignored for the time being.

"Lu Lu, this won't work. We can't continue to study it before the supercomputer is completed. Without a stronger supercomputer as an auxiliary, Xiao Meng doesn't have the energy to build a mathematical model for each temperature range, and even the supercomputer being built is not enough."

Zhang Qing sighed. The plasma turbulence was even more unpredictable than that of girls during menstruation.

Plasma turbulence of 45,000 degrees Celsius is a model, and 45,000 degrees Celsius to 57,999 degrees Celsius is also suitable for a data model, but it is completely different when the temperature increases to 58,000 degrees Celsius.

Lin Meng can build a mathematical model for each detection data, but this mathematical model is only applicable to plasmas in the current temperature density range. When the temperature changes exceed this range, the corresponding data will be completely different, which is another new model problem.

This is like superconducting materials. Nothing changes have been made before reaching the critical temperature. But once it reaches the critical temperature, up and down 0.001 degrees Celsius are two different worlds.

And the most terrifying thing is that as the plasma temperature and density increase, the more collision data will increase, and the more difficult it will be to build corresponding mathematical models. This is not only a burning money, but also a burning brain.

"Xiaomeng, can't you find that trace of connection between all data models?"

Lu Yi looked at Lin Meng. During this period, the girl who was about to celebrate her 19th birthday used her amazing talents and powerful thinking to analyze and sort out the detection data in chaos one by one, and built mathematical models for them one by one.

"At present, there is no mathematical model from 3000 degrees Celsius to 45000 degrees Celsius that divides 6 intervals. The data of these 6 intervals seems to be a gradual evolution process, but there is no trace of the pattern and cannot be unified. I don't know if we have too little data or there are other reasons."

Lin Meng shook her head. She knew that Lu Yi's single assembly of the prototype for these data and the combined loss of each experiment had been spent by no less than 10 million US dollars. Later, as the temperature density of the plasma experiment increased, the loss would increase exponentially.

She wanted to find out the data model Lu Yi wanted as soon as possible without consuming more funds, but she did not find any solution.

"We won't study the supercomputer before it is completed, we will collect data first."

Lu Yi reached out and rubbed Lin Meng's hair, and said to the cat-coaxing: "Stay good rest these days, and continue to analyze after the supercomputer is completed. If the computing speed of 130,000 TFlop/s is not enough, let's rent other people's supercomputers and join them together."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Meng nodded obediently, looking at the satisfaction index that appeared, Lu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. Even if he was a professor, this girl was still so easy to satisfy.

"Lu Lu, you're a big bet."

Zhang Qing next to him saw that Lu Yi didn't want to give up, and her face changed, saying: "Controllable nuclear fusion, in addition to the plasma turbulence problem, ultra-high temperature resistant materials and superconducting materials with lower temperatures and even room temperatures are also the key. Putting hundreds of millions of dollars in material research has a relatively high chance of breaking through."

"I know that there will be corresponding projects in the material in the future, so now we will conduct research on plasma turbulence first."

Lu Yi took a deep breath and said, "Since we have seen the connection between low temperature and high temperature, it should be that our data is insufficient. After Huawei Mobile Telecom and their shares invested, I can personally get 2.1 billion US dollars of funds and 1 billion stop loss."

The subsequent three-party investment has increased to US$15 billion. Lu Yi's shares have dropped from 60% to 28.5%. According to the agreement, half of them are company financing and half are personal sales, so he can get US$2.3 billion, and he still has more than 2.1 billion in the 200 million he borrowed from the company before.

This is a big gamble. The further the experiment goes, every experiment is equivalent to smashing a house in Yangcheng.

It should be noted that there is a limit on the detection of plasma by particles emitted by the particle accelerator. The higher the temperature density, the greater the emission intensity required.

When the emission intensity reaches a certain intensity, the collision between the emitted particles and the ions in the plasma will reach a terrifying order, resulting in collision and crushing, completely losing the detection effect.

If there is no connection within this limit range, all data models are found, and the data on the plasma turbulence phenomenon of tens of millions of degrees Celsius, which is the controllable basic temperature of nuclear fusion, is the experiment, then this experiment means failure, and all the funds and resources paid will be wasted.

"Since you don't want to give up, then continue, but there is a requirement that we increase the temperature increase of each experiment from 1,000 degrees Celsius to 2,000 degrees Celsius, so that we should not miss the range changes and save some funds more."

"good."

Lu Yi nodded. The US$2.1 billion seems to be a lot, but it may not necessarily splash out on the controllable nuclear fusion. If you can save a little, you will save a little.
