When the manuscript crosses the seas crosses ocean sends to Professor Crepeaux the mailbox, in the conference room in spiral stone 7-x laboratory, is conducting a very serious conference. 当稿件漂洋过海地发到克雷伯教授邮箱的时候,螺旋石7-x实验室的会议室内,正在进行一场很严肃的会议。 Sits here has MPI learned plasma physics research institute manager Professor Heysinger like this big cow, there is a head who Helmholtz Federation sends, there is from the pppl laboratory, a IAEA and visiting scholar of magnificence Keyuan plasma physics research institute wait iter project participant. 坐在这里的有马普学会等离子体物理研究所所长甘瑟・海辛格教授这样的大牛,也有亥姆霍兹联合会派来的负责人,也有来自pppl实验室、国际原子能机构、华科院等离子体物理研究所等等iter工程参与方的访问学者。 If Professor Lazerson has not resigned from pppl, sits the person here also to have him at this moment. The position that because the he-3 atom probe technology acts in plasma observation is getting more and more important, by the present he3 team position also When the water rises, the boat floats. 如果拉泽尔松教授没有从pppl辞职的话,此时此刻坐在这里的人也应该有他。由于he-3原子探针技术在等离子体观测方面扮演的地位越来越重要,到现在“he3项目组”的地位也水涨船高 But now, the one who sits here is not Lazerson, but is his assistant Fern Bushell only 30-year-old doctor. Sits in side of one crowd of big shot, this rookie expression is somewhat cramped, does not dare to speak at the meeting. 但现在,坐在这里的并非拉泽尔松,而是他的助手拉弗恩・布歇尔一位年仅30多岁的博士。坐在一群大佬们的旁边,这位新人表情有些局促,在会上不怎么敢说话。 So is why serious as for the conference atmosphere...... 至于为什么会议气氛如此严肃…… Also must mention from last month. 还得从上个月说起。 last month, spiral stone 7-x completed the installment of water cooling divertor finally. 就在上个月,螺旋石7-x终于完成了水冷偏滤器的安装。 According to the plan of MPI learned plasma physics research institute, the water cooling divertor will completely solve the reaction chamber temperature the issue. 原本根据马普学会等离子体物理研究所的计划,水冷偏滤器将彻底解决反应室温度的问题。 However finally has not imagined such ideal. 然而结果并没有想象中的那样理想。 Was heated up to the plasma of 100 million degrees high temperature is truly restrained in the electromagnetic field, the water cooling divertor also truly played the role, speed that but the first wall temperature rises, exceeded the expectation of field personnel. 被加热到一亿度高温的等离子体确实被约束在电磁场之内,水冷偏滤器也确实发挥了作用,但第一壁温度上升的速度,还是超过了现场工作人员的预期。 As the heat energies of massive disappearing were piled up without enough time, the first wall material temperature continuously rises, starts to threaten the security of Stellarator track gradually. 随着大量来不及散失的热能被堆积,第一壁材料温度不断升高,渐渐开始威胁到仿星器轨道的安全。 In order to avoid having the major safety accident, the staff have to switch off the equipment, ahead of time terminated this experiment. 为了避免发生重大安全事故,工作人员不得不关掉了设备,提前终止了这次试验。 Finally, completes the water cooling divertor to install later Stellarator, the restraint of high thermobaric plasma only maintained for 6 minutes. 最终,完成水冷偏滤器安装之后的仿星器,高温压等离子体的约束只维持了六分钟。 Compared with more than 100 seconds that international mainstream research direction Tokmok installs, this result is quite splendid. 比起国际主流研究方向托克马克装置的一百多秒来说,这个成绩已经相当出色了。 But regarding Stellarator, this result is defeated without a doubt. 但对于仿星器而言,这个成绩毫无疑问是失败的。 Reads the study in hand, Crepeaux is facing the experts and scholars before board, is making the brief report. 看着手中的研究报告,克雷伯面对着会议桌前的专家和学者们,做着简短的报告。 „...... The water cooling divertor has installed to complete, but now the issue is, restraint we of plasma have not imagined is so perfect.” “……水冷偏滤器已经安装完成,但现在问题是,等离子体的约束情况并没有我们想象中的那么完美。” „...... Showed according to the data of feedback, starting from 227 seconds, the plasma that is separated from the fetter few with the primary cause that the first wall contacts to become the thermal stack, eventually caused on the first wall material the accumulative speed of heat to exceed the evaporation efficiency of water cooling divertor, exceeded our expectation.” “……根据反馈的数据显示,从227秒开始,少量脱离束缚的等离子体与第一壁接触成为热量堆积的主要原因,最终导致第一壁材料上热量的累积速度超过了水冷偏滤器的冷却效率,也超出了我们的预期。” After listening to Crepeaux's report, opened the mouth from Professor Helmholtz of Federation Dowar suddenly. 听完了克雷伯的报告之后,来自亥姆霍兹联合会的厄多尔教授忽然开口了。 Your meaning is, the issue is not on the water cooling divertor, but was the plasma in Stellarator loses control?” “你的意思是,问题不是出在水冷偏滤器上,而是仿星器中的等离子体失控了?” Although spiral stone 7-x laboratory the research facility of MPI learned plasma physics research institute, but the entire research facility including this Stellarator, is actually the MPI learned and German Helmholtz Federation builds. 螺旋石7-x实验室虽然马普学会等离子体物理研究所的研究设施,但包括这台仿星器在内的整个研究设施,却是马普学会与德国亥姆霍兹联合会共建的。 Is next to the second largest scientific research organization of MPI learned as Germany, Helmholtz Federation has the right to speak in the fusion power domain. 作为德国境内仅次于马普学会的第二大科研组织,亥姆霍兹联合会在聚变能领域还是相当有发言权的。 „It is not out-of-control, is the natural radiation of plasma, even the star is impossible to make each plasma well-mannered runs around the track, would such several plasmas running upon the first wall, but this is the acceptable error,” regarding coming from the interrogation of Helmholtz Federation, Crepeaux emphasized one said. “不是失控,是等离子体的自然发散,就算是恒星也不可能让每一颗等离子体都规规矩矩的绕着轨道跑,总会有那么几颗等离子体撞上第一壁,而这是可以接受的误差,”对于来自亥姆霍兹联合会的质问,克雷伯强调了一遍说道。 Professor Dowar the eyebrow selected selecting: Is only several?” 厄多尔教授眉毛挑了挑:“只是几颗?” Crepeaux: „...... This is only an analogy, I have certainly no way to give you a concrete quantity. I can only tell you, Mark Tocker who at least compares the mainstream installs, we do in the magnetic confinement is very splendid.” 克雷伯:“……这只是一种比喻,我当然没法给你一个具体的数量。我只能告诉你,至少相比起主流的马克托克装置,我们在磁约束上做的已经很出色了。” Saw that two people must quarrel, Professor Heysinger coughed lightly the sound, interrupted two people argument. 眼看着两人要吵起来,海辛格教授轻咳了声,打断了两人的争论。 Issue is very clear, what now we must do solves the problem, rather than continues to dispute at the insignificant matter.” “问题已经很清楚了,现在我们要做的是解决问题,而不是在无意义的事情上继续争执。” Stopped the moment, Professor Heysinger continues to say. 停顿了片刻,海辛格教授继续说道。 We now two choices, one is the change existing scheme, one is to change our cooling systems.” “我们现在有两个选择,一个是更改现有的控制方案,一个是更改我们的冷却系统。” Either reduces the plasma on first wall through more precise electromagnetic field control, either changes a performance stronger water cooling divertor, enhances the cooling characteristics. 要么通过更精确的电磁场控制减少在第一壁上的等离子体,要么换一个性能更强的水冷偏滤器,提高冷却性能。 Improves the existing scheme is very perhaps difficult,” Professor Crepeaux shakes the head, „, if has better scheme to substitute, we have used.” “改进现有的控制方案恐怕很难,”克雷伯教授摇了摇头,“如果有更好的控制方案可以替代,我们早就用上了。” Did not have Bushell who the opportunity opens the mouth to try to interpose: That replacement water cooling divertor?” 一直没机会开口的布歇尔试图插话道:“那更换水冷偏滤器呢?” This is not realistic, even if re-equips on the existing basis, is impossible.” Professor Heysinger shakes the head: Now the key of issue is, we must in catching up fulfill 30 minutes of commitment that we make before 2020......, but we most only have two years.” “这不现实,哪怕是在现有的基础上改装,也不可能。”海辛格教授摇了摇头:“现在问题的关键是,我们得在赶在2020年之前兑现我们做出的三十分钟承诺……而我们最多只有两年的时间。” In the conference room the atmosphere is somewhat heavy, everyone did not speak. 会议室内气氛有些沉重,所有人都不说话了。 Just like Professor Heysinger said that the time was all keys. 正如海辛格教授所言,时间才是一切的关键。 The water cooling divertor is not a refrigerator, this millimeter even is the micron-grade project, each step difficulty high exaggerating, wants to assemble, in addition is not easy, do not say that redesigned the installment. 水冷偏滤器可不是电冰箱,这种毫米甚至是微米级的工程,每一步的难度都高的夸张,想要重新组装尚且不容易,更不要说重新设计装置了。 From 19 15 to the present, they spends the entire three years this water cooling divertor to install to spiral stone 7-x on now. 从15年到现在,他们花了整整三年才将现在这台水冷偏滤器装到螺旋石7-x身上。 But the present range in 2020 only will be left over for two years, they will not simply have the time again flower three years, will redesign and assembles the water cooling divertor. 而现在距离2020年只剩下两年的时间,他们根本没有时间再花个三年,重新设计并组装水冷偏滤器。 To be honest, delimits specific time to the science is a very stupid matter. 说实话,给科学划定一个具体的时间是一件很愚蠢的事情。 Even the most luminary of some domain, is impossible to know in advance ahead of time, some technical requirement how long can do. 就算是某个领域的最权威者,也不可能提前预知,某个技术需要多久才能做出来。 It is possibly born tomorrow, on basic is possibly wrong. 它可能就诞生在明天,也可能根本上就是错的。 But if they do not do this, does not continue to draw this cake, some people will not invest money on them...... 但如果他们不这样做,不继续画这块饼,就不会有人在他们身上投钱…… ...... …… The time to 12 points, the conference dismisses temporarily, arranges to continue after the 2 : 00 pm. 时间到了12点,会议临时解散,安排在下午 2 点之后继续进行。 Sits in a restaurant in laboratory building, Crepeaux ordered. the coffee, sat in the position by the window, hits notebook that begins to affect, the routine registering mailbox looked at the eye not to read the mail cup 坐在实验室一楼的餐厅,克雷伯点了杯咖啡,坐在了靠窗的位置,打开了工作用的笔记本电脑,习惯性的登录邮箱看了眼未读邮件。 Edit invitation?” “审稿邀请?” Looks to lie down that mail in mailbox, Crepeaux's eyebrow selected selecting interestingly. 看着躺在邮箱里的那封邮件,克雷伯的眉毛饶有兴趣地挑了挑。 Strict, he is not plasma Physics, but is a plasma physics and fusion power direction engineer. 严格来讲,他并不是一名等离子体物理学家,而是一名等离子体物理及聚变能方向的工程师。 In addition compares to the Tokmok installment of mainstream, Stellarator is one unexpected winner the research direction, internationally is engaged in the research agency that this aspect studies not being many. 再加上比起主流的托克马克装置,仿星器算是一个“冷门”的研究方向,国际上从事这方面研究的研究机构并不多。 Under US Physics meeting pennant the edit invitation of Journal, he remembers that the previous time is the five years ago things. 美国物理学会旗下期刊的审稿邀请,他记得上一次还是五年前的事情。 Did not plan to bring the edit the conference intermittence relaxation time, but Crepeaux cannot support the curiosity in heart, selected the paper. 原本是不打算将会议间歇的休息时间拿来审稿的,但克雷伯还是架不住心中的好奇,点开了论文。 Although he is not plasma Physics, but grew in the MPI learned plasma physics research institute operating time, thing theoretically he is not strange, the edit ability and qualifications he has. 虽说他不算等离子体物理学家,但在马普学会等离子体物理研究所工作时间长了,理论上的东西他也不算陌生,审稿能力和资历他还是有的。 Plasma turbulence mathematical model? 等离子体湍流数学模型? Saw the abstract part of paper, the eyebrow of Professor Crepeaux selected selecting. 看到论文的摘要部分,克雷伯教授的眉毛挑了挑。 Phenomenological model? 唯像模型? But probably is not a bit like. 但好像又有点不太像。 After reading off the abstract part, Professor Crepeaux continues to the textual material looks, when he sees in the paper the formula of big length, the brow twitched immediately ruthlessly. 读完了摘要部分之后,克雷伯教授继续向正文部分看去,当他看到论文中大篇幅的公式时,眉头顿时狠狠抽搐了一下。 As an engineer, the knowledge in mathematical is essential, however these mathematical formulas in paper, went beyond the category of his knowledge reserve as before, looks to let his scalp tingles. 身为一名工程师,数学方面的知识是必不可少的,然而论文中的这些算式,依旧是超出了他知识储备的范畴,看着让他头皮发麻。 Then, but constructs a phenomenological model, needs to use such abstruse mathematics method? 说起来,只是建一个唯像模型而已,需要用到这么深奥的数学方法吗? When Professor Crepeaux is puzzled this matter, this descriptive language can save on the province literary style, reminded him of a person suddenly. 就在克雷伯教授困惑着这件事情的时候,这种描述性语言能省就省的“文风”,忽然让他想起了一个人。 Turned the position of author directly, Crepeaux's corners of the mouth also following eyebrow pulled out together under. 直接翻到了论文作者的位置,克雷伯的嘴角也跟着眉毛一起抽了下。 Really is this fellow...... 果然是这家伙…… Shakes the head with a smile, totally gave up Crepeaux, jumped over these complex mathematical formulas directly, looked to the mathematical model of conclusion part. 笑着摇了摇头,彻底放弃了的克雷伯,直接跳过了那些复杂的算式,看向了结论部分的数学模型。 He acknowledged, from the beginning oneself truly somewhat thinks otherwise. 他承认,一开始自己确实有些不以为然。 However, more looks gradually downward, the look on his face is dignified. 然而渐渐的,越是往下看去,他脸上的神色便越是凝重。 Suddenly, on his face flashes through wipes the happy expression, fishes out the telephone in pocket impatiently. 忽然,他的脸上闪过一抹喜色,迫不及待地摸出兜里的电话。 Egger, a while I sends a mail to your mailbox, prints inside paper for me!” “艾格,一会儿我发一封邮件到你邮箱,替我将里面的论文打印出来!” Egger is his office assistant, generally schedule and document printing and so on odd job, he gives this to do. 艾格是他的办公室助理,一般日程安排、文印之类的杂务,他都是交给这位去做的。 In principle, has not published the paper of publication officially is not good to publicize ahead of time, but if only the internal communication, pours does not calculate that violates the principle. 原则上来讲,还没有正式登刊的论文是不好提前公开的,但如果只是内部交流的话,倒也不算违反原则。 After all regarding many reviewers, if sees the specially splendid draft, involves the domain that oneself do not understand exactly, with the academic prestige good peer exchange idea is not the rare matter. 毕竟对于不少审稿人而言,如果看到特别出色的稿子,又恰好涉及到自己所不了解的领域,与学术声誉良好的同行交流意见也并非什么罕见的事情。 Egger: „Can good mister, how many shares tell you to need probably?” 艾格:“好的先生,可以告诉您大概需要多少份吗?” Afternoon conference has many people, prints many shares to me!” “下午的会议有多少人,就给我打印多少份!”
