After staring at the experimental reactor running stably for 24 hours, Duke confirmed that under the current design conditions, the output power is indeed the current output power, and the energy conversion efficiency of the experimental reactor is almost 5 times lower than expected.

Seeing the various indicators on the big screen enter a stable state, Duke suddenly felt a little confused.

The things Bilem gave him have always been god-like existences, and there has been basically no mistake. This time, such a huge deviation occurred, which is an unprecedented event.

Duke had handed everything to Kerry for a review, and was sure that everything was executed according to the design. This was the flaw in the design. Bileme actually had such a serious problem, which was simply incredible to Duke.

Of course, these are not the key points. What is more important is that if the nuclear power plant cannot achieve the efficiency in the design, Duke cannot generate new energy out of thin air to drive the seawater deuterium refining device designed by Bileme. Duke has not tested the effect of this refining device yet. If it is still as unreliable as a nuclear power plant, Duke can only cry with Bileme.

"What? Haven't you gone to rest yet?" A familiar voice suddenly rang in Duke's ears, breaking Duke's random thoughts. "If you can't be anxious about scientific research, you must be prepared for a protracted war. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest. The way to last."

"Thank you, Professor Zhu, I just want to see how stable this pile is." Duke turned his head, looked at Professor Zhu Yunqian who had just arrived, and thanked with a smile, "This pile is designed based on a brand new catalytic effect. Although simulation experiments show that it can operate stably for a long time, I am always a little worried if I don't stare at it with my own eyes."

Duke gently covered up his thoughts, which made Professor Zhu Yunqian admire very much. This is the real attitude of the researcher. No wonder this young man can achieve so many results when he is so young. It seems that behind the glory in front of the people is still composed of countless sweat.

Looking at the blood in Duke's eyes, Professor Zhu Yunqian seemed to remember when he was young. At that time, he was not the same hard work. He went from a young boy who had just left school to a qualified researcher. It only took less than three years in between. At that time, he was immersed in learning almost every moment.

I was fortunate to see the rise of mushroom clouds, the launch of the first nuclear submarine, and the operation of the first domestic autonomous reactor to absorb, digest and build. My generation suffered a lot, but it was indeed not wasted. I just thought that when I was old, I still did not push domestic nuclear research to the forefront of the world. The old man still felt a little regretful.

Until Duke appeared in a flash, a world-class high-level paper was amazing, which made this old professor who had been fighting for the nuclear power for a lifetime excited. He never thought that Duke would soon create the world's advanced fourth-generation pile. It was just that considering that this young man could reach such a level in his twenties, so he would support and train him well and become a leader in the new generation in time.

Maybe what my generation has not done can be accomplished by Duke's generation.

Duke's performance after returning to China did not disappoint Professor Zhu Yunqian. Project No. 7 was secretly developed for more than ten years and almost stopped when it encountered a bottleneck. Since Duke joined, Qin Tairan did not promote Duke's role in this project, but what a person Zhu Yunqian is? As the technical director of Project No. 7, how could Qin Tairan even hide it from him?

So suddenly, the No. 7 Project was made, allowing Professor Zhu to see that Duke, a young man, was terrifying. He not only had research on nuclear reactions, but also had the level of genius computers. This extremely rare compound talent is very rare in modern nuclear reaction research.

The development of simulation research applications is inseparable from extremely high computer level, and complex nuclear power plant design is inseparable from computer intelligent control. To be fair, Professor Zhu has seen this experimental reactor completed by Duke as the main designer, which is the highest level he has ever seen in terms of intelligent control.

This alone is enough to make Professor Zhu admire Duke's experimental stack. Moreover, although this stack has not achieved the design goals proposed by Duke himself, its output power has extremely strong commercial use value. If it can be finally verified in terms of safety, Professor Zhu feels that this stack type can already be used as the main domestic push stack type in the future.

Because on the one hand, the efficiency is several times that of the existing stack type, more importantly, this stack type is completely independent intellectual property. All core components are processed domestically. Although for commercial high-power stack types, some large-sized components may be processed with further research, this is already very close to practicality.

Professor Zhu's perspective is completely different from Duke's perspective, so it is difficult for Professor Zhu to understand why Duke is so dissatisfied with his pile.

However, dissatisfaction is the driving force for researchers to always improve, so Professor Zhu appreciates Duke more and more.

"Dr. Duke, to be honest, the stack type you designed is now very practical. If you can increase the power to more than 300mw on this basis, I think it will have great potential for commercial operation," Professor Zhu said with a smile, "In my opinion, this is a successful stack type. If Dr. Duke wants to apply for the Domestic Science and Technology Progress Award, I am very happy to recommend it to the Ministry of Science and Technology."

This promise completely demonstrates Professor Zhu's support for Duke, a young man. According to his general status in the domestic nuclear energy field, the recommended projects basically cannot escape the national first prize range. For ordinary researchers, this is definitely a huge affirmation.

"Thank you, Professor Zhu," Duke smiled and shook his head, "I am engaged in research. The most urgent thing is to figure out why it has not achieved the design goals. As for applying for the Science and Technology Progress Award, that is not what I am considering now." Duke did not take these false names seriously.

"However, considering that many experts from the No. 10 Project Team have made great efforts for this, I think if I can apply for some awards for them, it will be an explanation of the hard work of these experts." Duke didn't care, and did not mean that others didn't care.

There are more than a few hundred experts, researchers and engineers involved in this experimental reactor. They are not as fame and fortune as Duke, so Duke does not block everyone from using the experimental reactor he designed to apply for some awards as benefits. Although he can also pay some money to everyone, it involves the long-term interests of the personnel within these systems. It is still okay for him to come forward to operate this matter.

Duke doesn't need these honors, but who doesn't want these people involved in the project? If Duke doesn't understand these little human feelings, then the experience in the past few years will be in vain.

When he heard that Duke didn't care about his honor and cared about the people below, Professor Zhu felt that Duke had a talent for a general. He wanted to lead a good team, whether it was a scientific research team or a military team, the leader who could not bring victory and benefits to his team was destined to be a leader who could not last long.

Now it seems that Duke is not only very forward-looking in technology, but also cares about the interests of the people below.

Do not seek fame or pretend to be noble. In today's materialistic society, such people have actually disappeared. Even Professor Zhu sometimes only recommends some favors, and has praised some very reluctant achievements to a height that is not worthy of their reputation.

"I'll thank you first, even though these awards are not much, they are still very useful for everyone's professional title promotions." Professor Zhu, as the chief expert in the No. 10 engineering system, certainly knew the needs of these people under his command, so he was not polite and honestly accepted the honor given by Duke.

This project is completely designed by Duke. If Duke refuses to come forward to do these things, Professor Zhu is really embarrassed to come out and do it. So the favor that Professor Zhu was going to give, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a favor that Duke was sent back.

"Professor Zhu, I'll leave it to you here to host it. After I go back and take a break, I will then call out all the data to study and research. Perhaps it will be necessary to use the application of Project 7." Duke finally felt a little tired after doing this, and his eyelids began to become as heavy as lead.

To further study what went wrong with this, Duke needs to use existing data to conduct a large number of simulation research.

Although these things can be done well in Kerry directly in his mind, it would be too amazing if the conclusions of these data analysis came out of thin air. So Duke must rely on Project 7 to do this. Duke could have done this through Qin Tairan, but since Professor Zhu, the technical director of Project 7, is there, Duke asks him to be useful.

"No problem, you have a rest first. Then let's take a look. We are also participants in this project, so we can't do nothing." Professor Zhu agreed with a hearty smile. Duke, the No. 7 Project, was originally the main contributor, and now he needs to use Professor Zhu, what are the problems he has? Moreover, these new data are also an extremely valuable resource for the No. 7 Project.

Duke sorted out the data and quietly input it into Kerry's nuclear reaction simulation application for analysis. After preparing for a sleep, he got up and prepared to connect to Bileme, passing Kerry's analysis results over to see if Bileme has new improvements.
