Chapter 396: Integrating Talents

Recruiting researchers and engineers who returned from ITER was something Xu Chuan had decided to do with Peng Hongxi and Gao Hongming a long time ago.

For other research institutes, due to the pressure of positions and funding, it is not easy to arrange these scholars who returned from ITER.

It is okay if there are only a few people, but in projects like HL-2A and EAST, the number of people who go to ITER to study and research is more than double, which makes it difficult to arrange.

After all, with the withdrawal from ITER, their research projects that were originally linked to ITER have basically been cancelled.

And the positions of the institute's own projects have been replaced by newcomers, resulting in the awkward status of these scholars.

However, for Xu Chuan, these problems do not exist.

The research progress of the Dawn Fusion Reactor is advancing so fast that the recruitment of researchers has been in a tense situation.

Now, after breaking through the fusion ignition of deuterium and tritium materials, a large number of researchers and manpower are needed to fill the vacancies of various research projects.

After all, controlled nuclear fusion is a systematic super project, and all kinds of large and small problems need to be solved by manpower.

The researchers and engineers pushed out from ITER couldn't be more suitable.

On the one hand, they themselves are studying controlled nuclear fusion, and their positions are suitable.

On the other hand, when they were at ITER, these researchers often communicated with scholars from other countries, and had strong theories and ideas about some details and directions of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Xu Chuan is confident that he can control the overall development and route of controlled nuclear fusion, and he believes that ITER cannot compare with him in this regard.

But when it comes to some details related to specific facts, such as "how to deal with helium ash in the reactor chamber", "tritium extraction in the breeder blanket" and other details, ITER must have studied them more deeply than him.

With the help of these researchers and engineers who returned from ITER, it is much faster to solve these problems than to rely on the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion engineering base alone.

Of course, before accepting these people, they must be screened.

Some people who originally relied on connections to get in and had little experience; some may not have such a clean background. These things need to be checked clearly.

We have to be careful. The Dawn fusion device is the key now. With the current achievements of Dawn, I believe other countries will covet it.

Various activities such as spying, infiltration, etc. to explore information, obtain data, steal technology, etc. will definitely be stronger than before.

If some of the people who returned from ITER were bribed, it may cause extremely serious losses.

In the Jinling and Qixia controlled nuclear fusion engineering bases.

As the New Year approaches, the Dawn fusion device has completed relevant maintenance and restarted again.

In response to the optimization plan generated during the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction, engineers and programmers worked overtime to make relevant adjustments.

This time, Xu Chuan did not command the restart of Dawn in the main control room.

After the experiment, he just got the relevant data.

While he has time now, he needs to interview several researchers who have returned from ITER.

Of course, it is better to say that it is a consultation to understand some problems than an interview.

Although he was reborn and had a general understanding of the progress of controlled nuclear fusion in the world, he was not very clear about the development of certain research institutes and certain technologies.

And these researchers and engineers who came back from ITER were enough to help him make up for the shortcomings in this regard, so that he could understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Dawn he led and the experimental institutions in other countries, or how big the gap was, etc.

"Academician Xu, I have brought the people to you."

In the office, Gao Hongming, who was in charge of daily affairs, opened the door and walked in with two people.

The two were the researchers from EAST, Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu, who were following behind with a nervous look.

"Thank you, trouble you." Xu Chuan put down the pen in his hand, looked up and said thank you.

Gao Hongming smiled and stepped forward, put the information in his hand on the table, and said: "Well, this is my job, thank you for anything, is it troublesome or not."

After a pause, he continued: "I won't bother you for now."

With that, he turned and left the office.

Across from them, Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu looked at Xu Chuan, who was sitting behind the desk, nervously. Their eyes showed nervousness, expectation, and even the excitement of a star-chaser seeing his idol.

Xu Chuan picked up the documents and said to them with a smile: "You two sit down first, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here this time mainly to consult you about something."

Hearing this, the two nodded nervously, with their buttocks less than halfway touching the chair.

While flipping through the documents, Xu Chuan asked: "You two have studied abroad and visited the Planck Plasma Institute, right?"

Wu Pingle nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "Yes, when I went to ITER for exchanges, I was arranged to visit the Planck Plasma Institute. I studied there for three years."

"I saw in your documents that your main study abroad direction is research and study in water-cooled divertors, right?"

"Yes." Wu Pingle and Zhou Xu nodded at the same time.

Putting down the information in his hands, Xu Chuan thought for a while and asked: "If it's convenient, can you two talk to me about the development of Planck? Some designs and theories about water-cooled divertors."

The Daybreak Fusion Device was modified from the ASDEX device. When it was originally traded, the water-cooled divertor technology on ASDEX was also traded.

However, compared to the latest water-cooled divertor on the Spiral Stone 7X, the water-cooled divertor technology on the ASDEX can be said to be almost an antique.

With the help of this wave of people who came back from ITER, he thought about re-optimizing the design of the water-cooled divertor on the Dawn Device.

If the magnetic surface tearing problem and the first wall neutron radiation problem can be solved, the construction of the demonstration reactor project needs to start.

Compared with experimental reactors, demonstration reactors have higher requirements for various accessories.

Wherever we can optimize, we must do our best.

When the person in front of him asked about the water-cooled divertor, Wu Pingle quickly replied: "Of course, no problem."

After sorting out his thoughts and organizing his words, he spoke again: "When I left Helixite 7X a year ago, they were studying a quasi-cyclosymmetric magnetic field configuration water-cooled divertor. This is a kind of water-cooled divertor that can pass magnetic lines. Plan for introducing particle flow and heat flow into the divertor"

"By removing the heat energy and impurities produced by the fusion reaction."

Behind the desk, Xu Chuan listened carefully to the report of researcher Wu Pingle.

The water-cooled divertor is considered one of the key accessories in a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. Only the Planck Institute of Plasma Research has achieved the ultimate level of this.

Although it is impossible to rely on these people who are visiting and studying abroad to really promote the water-cooled divertor on Daybreak to be the same as that used on Spiral Stone 7X.

But at least, compared to the old supporting equipment on the ASDEX device, the performance should be improved a lot.

As for the Helix 7X being a stellarator, he was studying a tokamak device. The problem that the water-cooled divertor has different shapes on the two routes is actually nothing.

After all, both are made based on the magnetic constraint route. There are differences, but they are not so different that the principles are different.

These engineers and researchers should be able to optimize and adjust based on the original water-cooled divertor on the Helix 7X and Daybreak.

After listening to Wu Pingle's understanding and introduction to the Spiral Stone Laboratory, Xu Chuan asked some other questions.

On the side, colleague Zhou Xu also helped to add some.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan picked up the pen and checked the two people's information, then looked at the two people with a smile and asked: "You should know that the Daybreak Fusion Device is from the original Planck Plasma Institute. The ASDEX unit purchased at the same time was renovated, and it also has a relatively old water-cooled divertor equipment. "

"If you are interested, I am here to invite you two to join the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project. The relevant studio is to join the water-cooled divertor research group, which is responsible for cooperating with the research to optimize and reset the water-cooled divertor."

"As for the salary and benefits, if you two are interested in accepting the invitation, someone will come to negotiate with you later. It should not be lower than your standards at EAST."

"Interested in staying?"

Upon hearing Xu Chuan's invitation, Wu Pingle was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Of course, I do!"

Having the opportunity to join the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Group and working under this big boss is probably the dream of all researchers in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in China.

And a long time ago, he heard that the operation method here was very different from other research institutes.

Working here does not look at qualifications, or in other words, traditional methods such as SCI papers and assessments are not used as standards.

What this boss looks at is your scientific research ability. As long as you have ideas and feasible theories, you will have the opportunity to get independent experiments.

What is the most attractive thing for a researcher?

It’s not salary or benefits. What attracts a real scientific researcher the most is being able to have an independent laboratory and be able to lead the experiments of one’s own ideas!

After all, after embarking on the path of scientific research, I still have dreams.

Looking at the two excited faces, Xu Chuan smiled.

Nowadays, the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project is indeed very attractive. Not only is the welfare package here relatively good, but also the background of this project. Even if everyone relies on the state, this place is far from other domestic research institutions. Nothing can be compared.

After all, he is sitting here.

Of course, it's impossible to work here without working hard.

No matter how awesome the scholar is, no matter how talented the genius is, if he enters here, unless he can surpass him, he will still be a screw turning for the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

When doing research here, it is common to live in the institute 24 hours a day, and sometimes even sleep directly in the laboratory. After all, some key experiments require several hours of testing or experimental time. In order to ensure that they are not missed Data, it is normal to lay the floor in the laboratory.

But precisely because everyone is a screw, we have a chance to stand out.

As long as you can express yourself, you will have the opportunity to get independent research opportunities. This is the working environment that all scientific researchers dream of.
