Liu Cong left after bringing the news.
"So, in the end, we have to build a smaller UO Device first."
"In five months..."
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, and finally stood up without thinking any more.
It's just a matter of waiting a few more months.
At this time, this feeling is like a kind of fighting feeling.
"Then let's have a fight with that Academician Chu first and then talk about it."
Then he found Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou and informed them of the matter.
Li Jiangan nodded. "That's fine. This is the only way we can settle the controversy now."
Zhao Zhanyou was very dissatisfied and complained, "Damn, that guy named Chu doesn't know what is right and what is wrong at such a young age. He doesn't let those who are capable do it even if he doesn't have the ability."
Li Jiangan, who was standing next to him, slapped him directly and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense here. Just talk about it in private. If word gets out, you won't suffer the consequences."
Zhao Zhanyou immediately covered his head and cried out, "So I'm just talking about this in private! Just tell me if that Chu Lansheng is looking for trouble!"
"Still talking back!"
Li Jiangan slapped him again.
Xiao Yi next to him looked at this scene and shook his head.
This pair of teachers and students.
Then he didn't say much. He operated on the computer and finally pulled up a plan and showed it to Li Jiangan and the others.
"This is a small UO verification device that I have designed, including its overall construction plan, which has been given in detail."
Li Jiangan and Zhao Zhanyou, who were still arguing, were stunned when they heard this, "Have you already designed everything?"
Emotion Xiao Yi has long been aware that this kind of thing would happen, and has even prepared the plan for this verification device?
They all turned their heads and looked at the new plan given by Xiao Yi on the computer.
It is indeed a very small UO Device, its inner diameter is only about 0.85 meters, and the internal length of the entire U-shaped pipe is only about 5.89 meters long.
Moreover, this new device, Xiao Yi, does not plan to use MHT-7, and it will not add internal structures such as liquid lithium channels, so the overall difficulty of building it is greatly reduced, which allows it to be built in about five months.
"You... are really well prepared."
Li Jiangan sighed with emotion.
Zhao Zhanyou also nodded. At this moment, he recognized the identity of Xiao Yi and Chief Designer in his heart.
Such Chief Designer is truly worthy of Chief Designer's identity.
Xiao Yi: "Okay, let's hold another general meeting and prepare for construction."
Soon, another general meeting began.
Xiao Yi announces projects for the next few months.
This small UO Device is directly named UOmini, and the place where it was built is also nearby.
As the news was announced, the researchers present expressed their support.
After all, compared to the previous situation where we had no idea whether UO structure was feasible and had to build a large one directly, it is obviously more convincing to build a small device first to verify the feasibility and then consider whether to build a large one based on the verification results.
In addition, Xiao Yi directly presented the overall construction plan, and these researchers stopped talking nonsense. After being in this project team for so long, they finally had something to do, so they were all very motivated.
The most important thing is that they also want to know whether this UO structure will work!
If their Chief Designer Xiao can continue to be correct in this matter, then give that Chu Lansheng a hard slap in the face.
Everyone is curious.
In this way, time passed quickly.
In the next few months, although Xiao Yi will still be very busy and travel back and forth to several places, overall it will be more relaxed.
After all, it is now the construction stage, and at this stage, basically as long as the construction is carried out according to the plan he originally gave, and people do not make mistakes during the construction process, that will be fine.
Even if some problems occasionally arise, he will supervise as Chief Designer, Li Jiangan, and Zhao Zhanyou.
Let's put aside the things here and go back to school.
In the new semester, Xiao Yi is responsible for the real variable function of sophomore Hua Loo-Keng Class.
It is not the freshman Hua Loo-Keng Class that I taught last semester. This also makes the freshman Hua Loo-Keng Class students feel quite a pity, but this is also because they have no classes in the second semester of their freshman year that can make Xiao Yi took them, basically Mathematical Analysis 2, Advanced Algebra 2, Geometry 2. These classes were taught by the teacher they had last semester.
Of course, the real variable functions taught by Xiao Yi are still praised by all students.
The students of the Mathematics Department all have a deep understanding of how difficult real variable functions are, just like the sentence: learn real variable functions ten times.
Xiao Yi's explanation of this lesson is very simple and easy to understand, allowing students to clearly learn a concept and apply it skillfully.
Of course, Xiao Yi is not the owner of a teacher system and cannot directly help students increase their knowledge, so in the end it still depends on the students' own abilities.
But no matter what, after the midterm exam, all Hua Loo-Keng Class students passed, and they all got at least 70 points or above. Compared with the past, Hua Loo-Keng Class students still failed in this class, obviously the overall level has been improved a lot.
Of course, the most important thing is those non-Hua Loo-Keng Class students who come to take classes. According to statistics, those who often come to take Xiao Yi classes all got at least a passing score in the midterm exam of real variable functions, and those students who are relatively outstanding all got scores of 90 or above.
This directly ignited the passion of mathematics major students again, and more people came to attend his classes. Even those juniors and even seniors came to take his classes.
In addition, because the Mathematics Department students of USTC spread the word outside, a large number of mathematics students from other universities began to gather together to watch the video of Xiao Yi's real variable function.
Faced with the terrifying failure rate of real variable functions, these undergraduates barely paid attention to Xiao Yi.
Of course, there are actually some students who make a living. They play Xiao Yi's lecture video on their mobile phones, then light three incense sticks in front of them, bow to Xiao Yi, and pray that Xiao Yi will bless them to pass the exam safely.
Nowadays, it is too weak to play Conan, Kobe or not Conan, etc. It is far worse than playing Xiao Yi directly.
There are even students who bring Xiao Yi's portrait directly to the classroom and ask Xiao Yi to sign it, which is more effective.
Xiao Yi made me laugh and cry.
All in all, inadvertently, Xiao Yi has become popular in colleges and universities across the country. Other majors may be more reluctant, but for majors such as mathematics, physics and materials, Xiao Yi's face can be seen in basically every student dormitory.
But what made this matter popular was that until the final exam of this semester, it really reduced the failure rate of related majors in major universities.
The overall failure rate even dropped by several percentage points.
So much so that this matter once became a hot search topic.
Quite a few students across the Internet began to discuss this matter.
[Holy shit, could it be that Scholar Xiao is really the Wenqu star from the sky who descended to earth and is now manifesting his spirit?]
[As expected of me, Scholar Xiao. At the same time, just praying can save me from failing the exam. I actually passed the real variable function thing!]
[Don't tell me, don't tell me. Our dormitory usually learns nothing about electromagnetics. Until the day before the exam, our dormitory made a special practice and worshiped Scholar Xiao. Guess what happened? We all made it! Damn, if I had known that praying to Scholar Xiao was so effective, I would have prayed to Scholar Xiao when I was taking the college entrance examination.]
[No, buddy, are you telling the truth? Why is it getting more and more outrageous? Is he really that awesome?]
[Laughing, actually, if you ask me, it actually has some influence from Scholar Xiao. When I saw Xiao Yi's profile picture in the dormitory, I didn't dare to slack off anymore, so I quickly took out the questions I hadn't finished before and started working on them.]
[You are so right, I hung Scholar Xiao's avatar directly on the table. When I don't have classes, I just turn on the computer and enter the game. When I look up, I can see Scholar Xiao's face, and I feel a sense of guilt in my heart. I seem to hear Scholar Xiao telling me: "How can you afford to play games at your age? Are you promising? I already got Fields Medal when I was your age." What else can I say? I can only close the game quickly, take my school bag and go to the library to study. I barely managed to get third in grade this semester]
[Wori, awesome, I will start failing next semester too.]
[...]
Under various hot searches, orders from major shops ordering pictures are almost bursting.
As for the kind of stores that directly produce and sell in batches, there are no such stores. After all, this is an infringement of portrait rights, and this method of customization can be avoided to a certain extent.
Of course, if Xiao Yi really wanted to ban this kind of thing, it would be quite easy. With just one sentence, those stores would basically no longer be able to accept such orders.
However, in the end, he turned a blind eye and didn't care too much.
In addition, his three graduate students have been enrolled for almost a year.
The first research phase is coming to an end.
As for what Xiao Yi said at the time, writing a top-notch paper in the first stage of research did not happen to these three people after all. However, the tasks that Xiao Yi asked them to complete this year were all completed, and they did a good job.
In this regard, Xiao Yi also praised them.
However, when they enter the second year of graduate school, they will start preparing for their graduation thesis. Xiao Yi provides them with some suggestions for topic selection based on their past papers and their performance this year. Of course, they can also choose by themselves.
This summer vacation, let them think for themselves.
Just like that, the time came to the end of August.
Almost five months have passed, and the UOmini device has been completed.
"All parts have been checked and everything is fine internally."
"The heating equipment and superconducting coils have also been laid out and calibrated, and the positions and design drawings are completely correct."
"The fuel injection pipeline is also completely normal."
"..."
In the control room, Xiao Yi held a walkie-talkie in his hand, listening to reports from various groups.
"The final result will be announced today, right?"
Next to him, Li Jiangan looked out the observation window and sighed with emotion at the structure that was completely different from Tokamak device.
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "We can start after all the tests are completed."
Although UO structure is different from tokamak and Stellarator, they are essentially magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, and the other devices used are not much different.
The most critical thing is how to constrain the magnetic fluid and generate electricity.
"MHD generator has also been inspected."
The voice of the inspection team came over the intercom again.
At this moment, Zhao Zhanyou came in with a phone in hand. His expression looked unhappy, "I received a call from Director Cao of the Southwest Institute of Physics. He said that they have arrived in Fei City and want to visit our UOmini."
"Especially, that Chu Lansheng is here too."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiangan frowned.
"The old guy is really here?"
Previously, Chu Lansheng said that when UOmini is launched, he will come and see the results in person.
And now he's really here?
Zhao Zhanyou snorted coldly and said, "I think that old guy can't sit still anymore. He wants to see with his own eyes if UO structure can do it."
Immediately he asked Xiao Yi: "Old Xiao, will you let them in?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "They are already here, let's let them come. Isn't it a pleasure for friends to come from far away?"
Zhao Zhanyou complained, "I don't think they came here as friends."
But despite this, he still made another call.
Not long after, a noisy sound came from outside the control room.
Finally, a group of people walked in, led by an old researcher who looked about the same age as Li Jiangan.
After the man walked in, he looked around first, then stayed on Xiao Yi's face for a while, then turned to look at Li Jiangan and said, "Lao Li, Lao Li, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You're not good now."
Li Jiangan didn't look good when he saw this person, and snorted coldly, "What's wrong with the surname Chu? I can't sit still. I want to see if UO structure can do it?"
This old researcher is none other than Chu Lansheng.
Chu Lansheng smiled and stabbed unhurriedly, "Oh, I forgot, you Li Jiangan are no longer Chief Designer, I'd better talk to Chief Designer."
Then he turned to look at Xiao Yi, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Chief Designer Xiao, this is our first official meeting. We would like to thank you for letting us in."
Xiao Yi smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to shake Academician Chu's hand, and said, "Hello Academician Chu, let you come in, and of course I also invite colleagues of Western Institute of Physics to witness that magnetic confinement fusion is not only possible in two directions: tokamak and Stellarator, but there are also more perfect directions."
Chu Lansheng's smiling expression did not change, he just said, "Then I'm really looking forward to the result."
"Tokamak was created by the Soviets, and Stellarator was created by the Americans. Now if our country can come up with a new nuclear fusion structure, it will indeed mean that our Chinese people have indeed reached a leading level in nuclear fusion."
But at this time, his topic changed again. "However, Chief Designer Xiao, even if your UO structure succeeds, will it help our nuclear fusion progress further? We all know that materials are the biggest difficulty in nuclear fusion."
Xiao Yi said calmly, "How about discussing this issue after the verification work is completed?"
Chu Lansheng stared at Xiao Yi for a while, and finally said, "Okay, you are the chief engineer, you have the final say here."
"I won't say anything. I'm just waiting for the results here."
Afterwards, he didn't say a word.
Xiao Yi clapped his hands, and then said into the intercom, "Now each department will conduct a final inspection, and then the ignition verification will be officially carried out!"
"..."
