Chapter 493 Visiting Nanhua University

The predecessor of Nanhua University was Hengyang Institute of Technology, which can be traced back to Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy earlier.

At that time in 1959, under the background of the development of nuclear weapons and nuclear industry in China, the state moved the former Department of Mining and Metallurgy Engineering of Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to Hengzhou.

It was closed in the late 1960s due to special reasons, and then re-established in the form of Hengyang Institute of Technology under the leadership of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry and the Hunan Provincial Government in the 1980s. Finally, it was renamed Nanhua University in the 1990s and has continued until now.

In a sense, the fate of this school since its birth has been tied to the fate of the Republic.

Although it is not 211 or 985, its nuclear engineering major ranks in the forefront in China, and it also sent a large number of nuclear industry talents to the Republic in that special era.

And now, it is still exerting its own light and heat.

Even though stellarator is not a particularly supported project in China, and it is considered the coldest corner in the unpopular pit of controllable nuclear fusion, there is still a scientific research team of more than 30 people here. engaged in research in this field.

The purpose of Lu Zhou's trip is very clear, that is to poach people.

Of course, if the purpose is so bare, it is not very friendly to Nanhua University.

In name, he came here for a visit in the name of academic exchanges.

And to be honest, if this matter happens, it will actually be good for Nanhua University.

As for the purpose of Lu Zhou's sudden visit to his small temple, the head of Nanhua University may or may not have guessed it.

But no matter what, if a Nobel Prize scholar comes to the school to give a report, even if it is changed to Mizuki Yanda, it is enough to put up a banner to welcome it...

【Welcome Professor Lu Zhou to our school to give academic lectures】

Looking at the banner stretched above his head, the college student with his textbooks under his elbows said to his roommate next to him inexplicably.

"Why do you think Lu Shen came to our small place?"

The bigger boy shook his head: "Ghost knows."

Walking to the other side, pushing the glasses on the bridge of the nose, the tall and thin student said: "Isn't there a new research center for controlled nuclear fusion in Jinling? It seems that Professor Lu is in charge. I guess It is aimed at our school's H1 stellarator."

The college student with the textbook under his elbow asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

The tall student habitually pushed his glasses again, "Normally, it hasn't been reported much in the news, but it doesn't seem to be a secret, I also heard from the seniors in the club who are engaged in nuclear engineering."

At this time, the buddy who had been silent all this time said: "It has nothing to do with us, hurry up and go to class."

"That's right." Several people nodded and walked quickly towards the classroom.

In fact, even if they wanted to go, there was no place for them right now.

At the same time, the No. 1 lecture hall of Nanhua University was already full of seats.

Those who sat under the stage were not only the students of Nanhua University, but also many professors and lecturers of Nanhua University, as well as those who rushed over from universities in the city and even the provincial capital.

Besides those students and professors, there are also reporters from Hunan Provincial TV Station.

A pair of cameras were facing the stage, and everyone was waiting for the person standing on the stage to speak.

Looking at the crowded scene in the audience, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Speaking of which, the last lecture I held seemed to be in Stockholm.

It's almost three months now.

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Zhou nodded to the staff next to him, indicating that it was time to start.

Standing in front of the microphone, he cleared his throat, and after calming down in the lecture hall, Lu Zhou spoke slowly.

"Many people have asked me, Huaguo has no shortage of electricity, we have the Three Gorges, we have coal mines, our power generation ranks first in the world, our thermal power, hydropower and power grid technology are world-leading, why do we have to work hard Go research nuclear power."

"For this question, my answer is that scientific research should not only focus on current investment and short-term benefits, but also have a long-term vision and the courage to face difficulties."

"From a sufficiently large space-time scale, nuclear energy is the ultimate energy source for mankind. Just because we have the largest population base in the world and control a quarter of the planet's electrical energy, we should optimize our energy structure so that It's cleaner, more efficient, and cheaper."

"In addition, not only the controllable nuclear fusion technology itself, every major scientific research project can bring us not only the value of the project itself. Just like when I was studying the existence of the solution of the NS equation, It is the same as the differential geometry solution of the L manifold and the partial differential equation. In terms of the importance of the results alone, all the treasures we found on the way to the end of the maze are not inferior to those brought by crossing the maze itself Achievement."

"Take controllable nuclear fusion as an example. In the study of controllable nuclear fusion, our superconducting technology has been developed, we have penetrated into the interior of high-temperature plasma, we have created more powerful magnets, and we can get a lot from it. .”

Introducing the topic of the lecture with a few words, Lu Zhou picked up the marker pen from the multimedia desk, turned to face the whiteboard next to him, and began to write on the whiteboard simply on the floor with the explanation in common language.

Sitting under the stage and taking notes, Wang Xuehai accidentally touched the pen cap to the ground. When he bent down to pick it up and looked at the whiteboard in front of the stage again, he was stunned to find that the line on the blackboard He couldn't understand the calculation formula that was like a scripture.

Looking at the podium in a daze, Wang Xuehai couldn't help asking, "What is he writing?"

Sitting next to him, Fang Jie, who also majored in nuclear physics like him, pushed his glasses. Although he didn't understand too much, he didn't look confused: "It seems to be a mathematical model of plasma turbulence? Which literature have you seen?"

Wang Xuehai: "Fuck, isn't it a popular science lecture? Is it so hardcore?"

Fang Jie squinted at him: "Then, don't be a Nobel Prize-winning scholar, it's impossible to talk to you all the time."

Wang Xuehai couldn't help but said: "Can anyone understand what he said?"

To be honest, it is not bad for him to ask himself about his professional ability.

However, plasma turbulence is a cutting-edge research field in plasma physics internationally.

He is a major in nuclear physics, and his research direction is more engineering than theory. Without ten days and a half months of preview, it is naturally impossible to understand such esoteric things.

After closing the notebook in his hand, Fang Jie shook his head and pointed to the seats in the front row of the auditorium with his chin.

"It doesn't matter whether we understand or not. Just look at the old professors in our Institute of Nuclear Physics and the expressions on their faces, and you will know how important what he said is."

As the doctoral student said, in the second half of the lecture, Lu Zhou's content has gone from the easy-to-understand popular science content to one of the core areas of controllable nuclear fusion, that is, about high-temperature pressure plasma body research.

Regarding these contents, he has actually written several papers explaining his research results. The Max-Planck Society is his most important paper. At the European Nuclear Summit last year, he made a simple presentation to his peers. report.

But compared to a simple thesis and a summary report made by others based on his thesis, it is naturally far less penetrating than his own explanation of this thesis. For those researchers in the field of controllable nuclear fusion and plasma physics, what he said in the lecture can also be said to be of great benefit.

In fact, this is also the reason why many professors came here from the provincial capital.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, there might be some international friends flying over specially to listen to his lecture from abroad.

After writing the last line of formula on the whiteboard, Lu Zhou's explanation came to an end.

Putting the marker pen on the multimedia desk, he paused for a moment, looked at the audience, and continued to speak.

"Your school is a strong school in the field of nuclear engineering, and you are also the mainstay of the future and the field of engineering. The future of our nuclear engineering industry depends on you!"
