110: Chapter 110 Two Paths to Heaven! Different Masters, Same Fate...
As a pioneer of Controlled Nuclear Fusion in Huaxia, he saw the feasibility of these Controlled Nuclear Fusion technical materials at a glance!
It could be said that every technical hurdle he was aware of had a solution laid out one by one in these design blueprints and technical manuals!
As for other unknown problems, they had presumably been solved as well. Otherwise, given Lin Mo's character, he would never have brought out these mature reactor design blueprints!
"Big Cannon Ai, Lin Mo is truly a once-in-a-millennium scientific genius for our Huaxia!"
At this moment, the shock on Professor Ai Chongfeng's face had not yet completely dissipated.
"Sigh! Old Xiang, comparisons really make people mad!"
"Compared to Lin Mo, the ideas we two had before really seem exceptionally foolish!"
"And to think we two argued for so long about whether the Tokamak magnetic confinement path was correct, or if the Stellarator magnetic confinement would be better, only for Lin Mo to provide the perfect answer now!"
He placed the two completely different fusion reactor design blueprints side-by-side, scanned them carefully once more, and shook his head with a deep sigh.
"Who the hell could have imagined it!"
"After achieving a core breakthrough in material technology, these two completely different magnetic confinement devices could both actually achieve Controlled Nuclear Fusion!"
"And they have application prospects in completely different fields!"
"We were truly too narrow-minded!"
In Lin Mo's technical materials, there were new designs for both the Tokamak and the Stellarator using two new types of materials. Not only were they all feasible, but each had its own specific application!
The Tokamak magnetic confinement device has a larger toroidal volume and higher fusion power, but it requires a relatively stable working environment, making it more suitable for large and super-large Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactors. For example, in large-scale heavy industrial applications like Controlled Nuclear Fusion power stations, large space stations, and aerospace carriers!
As for the Stellarator magnetic confinement device, although its fusion power is not as high, it can achieve the miniaturization and micro-scaling of fusion reactors due to its smaller volume and greater stability and robustness.
Most importantly, the micro-fusion reactors produced by the Stellarator magnetic confinement device can achieve ignition first, then cooling!
After completing ignition, it can fully meet continuous usage requirements for at least half a year!
What does this mean? It means that micro-scale controlled cold fusion devices will officially step into reality!
All the science fiction concepts of the past will finally have reliable, real-world energy devices to support them!
Old Xiang and Professor Ai Chongfeng looked at each other, both seeing the deep excitement in the other's eyes. They had not the slightest doubt that Lin Mo could achieve Controlled Nuclear Fusion!
Even so, they had not at all expected that Lin Mo would not only have completed the breakthrough in key material technology and brought out the specific blueprints for the fusion reactor, but would have also gone much further, advancing Controlled Hot Nuclear Fusion by who knows how many generations, and even managing to break through the technology for micro-scale controlled cold fusion!
Such terrifying scientific progress could only be achieved by Lin Mo, this creator of miracles!
"Tell me, Big Cannon Ai, what on earth did you do in your past life?"
"To actually be able to become Lin Mo's mentor!"
Old Xiang's face became distorted with jealousy, "I'd believe it even if you told me you saved the galaxy in your past life!"
Old Xiang was truly filled with hate! The kind of hate born of envy and jealousy!
Originally, he was the one who had squeezed this human loudspeaker out to teach at the University of Science and Technology of China, but after ten years, the bastard had actually had such a huge stroke of luck!
With this bond with Lin Mo, Professor Ai Chongfeng could completely lie back, lie however he wanted, and just open his mouth to wait for honors to fall from the sky!
Just think about it: the mentor of the Father of Controlled Nuclear Fusion... the mentor of the Father of the Fourth Industrial Revolution... the mentor of the Father of the Energy Revolution... all sorts of titles like these. Just look at these outrageous titles; how rare and precious they are!
Watching Old Xiang's indignant expression, Professor Ai Chongfeng felt secretly delighted.
He was just about to brag a bit more to make Old Xiang completely twist with jealousy, as revenge for past grievances.
The moment he tilted his head back, Professor Ai Chongfeng suddenly felt an itch in his throat and his breathing became slightly labored, as if a glob of thick phlegm was stuck in his throat, neither coming up nor going down.
"Cough, cough! ... Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Professor Ai Chongfeng burst into a violent fit of coughing, startling everyone.
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to the restroom."
Professor Ai Chongfeng covered his mouth, suppressing the urge to cough, and quickly left the secure room.
Arriving at the washbasin in the restroom, Professor Ai Chongfeng coughed with all his might dozens of times, finally managing to spit out the thick phlegm.
He let out a slow breath; he finally felt comfortable!
Previously in Gansu Province, he happened to encounter the change of seasons from summer to autumn and accidentally caught a cold.
He had been coughing for over half a month and it still hadn't fully healed; it was especially severe today. Damn it, he nearly coughed his lungs out!
"Why is there a metallic, bloody taste..."
Professor Ai Chongfeng swallowed his saliva and discovered a bloody taste in his throat.
When he looked at the phlegm in the washbasin, he was stunned.
The phlegm was actually yellow mixed with dark red; it was a glob of bloody phlegm!
Old Xiang followed him in and was shocked when he saw the bloody phlegm in the sink!
"Damn! Big Cannon Ai, what is going on with you!"
Professor Ai Chongfeng was speechless; how would he know what was going on?
Could it be that his cold had dragged on too long and turned into chronic pneumonia?
At this moment, Old Xiang looked at Professor Ai Chongfeng and suddenly realized that his condition was not right.
His eye bags were dark, his complexion was dull, and Professor Ai Chongfeng's already very thin frame now looked even more emaciated!
Old Xiang's heart sank immediately!
He hadn't paid much attention while they were together every day, thinking that Professor Ai Chongfeng's growing haggardness was just due to the exhaustion from working on the first phase of the Nantianmen Project. Now it seemed that was completely not the case!
"Big Cannon Ai, you must go to the hospital right now!"
"I am old classmates with President Liang of The First Peoples Hospital of Anhui Province. I'll call him immediately and have him arrange a full-body checkup for you!"
"You look like a ghost; this is clearly not some minor illness, and it won't do to drag it out!"
Old Xiang didn't wait for an answer, grabbing Professor Ai Chongfeng's arm and walking outside.
To his surprise, Professor Ai Chongfeng shook off Old Xiang's hand and shook his head.
"Old Xiang! Don't make a fuss; don't I know my own body?"
"At most, it's just chronic pneumonia. I have medicine for it; I just need to make sure to take it these next few days!"
"At such a critical time as this, is it appropriate for me, the number three in command, to go lie in a hospital?"
Hearing this, Old Xiang became anxious.
"I'm making a fuss?"
"Who is the one really making a fuss?"
"Are you fucking choosing the project over your life?"
"You've started coughing up blood, and you're still talking about the project, the project, the project!"
"Are you trying to die!"
