Technological Hegemony

Chapter 505 Four Super Problems in Realizing Controllable Fusion!

Everyone was stunned. These academicians from the two academies, researchers from the Military High Energy Research Bureau, and experts from the Institute of Plasma, Chinese Academy of Sciences were all dumbfounded and couldn't believe their ears.

Star Technology used two additional systems to solve the problem of excessive consumption of tritium?

This is too awesome!

Tritium is not only expensive, but the tritium resources that humans can use are really limited, and it is extremely difficult to extract.

The reaction between deuterium and tritium in the traditional sense can only be played in the laboratory. If you want to go out of the laboratory and use it in practice, just finding enough tritium resources can drive scientists crazy.

Star Science and Technology adds lithium to the reaction to make tritium proliferate in the reaction, and then adds tungsten to recover and capture tritium by using the bubbles produced by tungsten in fusion, so in the end, the tritium inside the double-helix stellarator, In fact, it is not very consumed. After burning for a long time, it is only necessary to add a little tritium to it.

It has to be said that Luo Jia once again exerted too much force. Even if the fusion technology of energy civilization is placed among the stars in the universe, it is of a super-class level. It can be used directly on the earth that has not yet entered the interstellar era. The double-helix stellarator has undergone a lot of weakening to adapt to the current productivity of the earth, but it is still unavoidable, which scared the academicians and experts into foolishness.

The first choice of the two circulation systems is too advanced in concept. Tungsten will produce bubbles in the fusion reaction. Using this bubble to capture tritium to achieve the effect of repeated use is absolutely a stroke of genius! So fucking amazing! So the scene immediately exploded!

"This is a fusion device that doesn't consume tritium!"

"Since there is no need to consume tritium, the cost of fusion is greatly reduced. If successful, it can be directly applied in reality!"

"As expected of the toughest group of men in the technology world, Xingchen Technology has been aiming for the end from the very beginning!"

"Awesome! Star Technology is awesome!"

Of course the academicians have reasons to be excited. They have been studying for a lifetime, and they understand the gap between experiment and reality far better than anyone else. Fusion experiments have been done countless times in the world, but Xingchen Technology is aimed at application. Today If the early morning test is successful, Xingchen Technology will dare to mass-produce fusion furnaces tomorrow.

At this moment, all eyes were on Luo Jia. Even the academicians of the two academies looked at him with more burning eyes, which became different.

After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "As we all know, there are four major problems in achieving controllable fusion. What I just said is just the first problem, how to use precious tritium efficiently."

"The second of the four big problems is called neutron bombardment."

While talking, Luo Jia finally couldn't help pulling out the whiteboard. There were as many as 17 academicians from the two academies at the scene. Luo Jia likes to teach employees in the company. Very pretentious.

But getting used to it is really hard to change. Whenever Luo Jia talks about technology, if there is no whiteboard behind him, he feels as if something is missing and he feels uncomfortable.

The ball pen quickly scribbled on the whiteboard, Luo Jia drew the shape of the fusion device, and began to describe the process of the fusion reaction.

"Most fusion reactions will inadvertently release a big scourge. The name of the scourge is high-energy uncontrolled neutrons. Since neutrons have no charge, they cannot be restrained and controlled. In order to prevent neutrons from scurrying around, we must use high-density material to block them."

"Then here comes the problem. The neutron is a powerful thing. After a long time, the shell will become riddled with holes under the constant bombardment of neutrons.

Porous and crisp like a sponge, the originally safe controllable fusion will become a terrible indefinite time bomb when uncontrolled neutrons do it. "

Everyone nodded. Controlled fusion is the dream of countless scientists. Of course, everyone knows the difficulties of this technology.

"So what technology do you use to combat neutron bombardment? Do you use your unique graphene material on the shell?"

"The hardness of graphene is 21.8 times that of diamond, which is theoretically enough to resist neutron bombardment. At worst, it needs to be replaced with a new shell every few years." ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ ~⒏~1zщ.còм

"Yes, for the whole world, resisting neutron bombardment is a huge trouble, but Xingchen Technology will not, because they not only have graphene, but also carbon nanotubes. The strength of these two materials can even support three A space elevator at an altitude of 16,000 kilometers!"

Everyone was very excited, and also showed great confidence in Xingchen Technology. As the saying goes, one trick is popular all over the world. Xingchen Technology has already surpassed all scientific research institutions on the earth in terms of materials science. It is a space elevator that no one else can even imagine. Star Technology did it directly. This is the confidence that the basic advantages brought them.

Luo Jia smiled, "Of course graphene must be used, but the ultimate solution lies on the moon."

on the moon?

A large group of experts and scholars were dumbfounded again. They all knew that Luo Jia's thinking was always unexpected and unconstrained, but they didn't expect this guy's thinking to jump so fast. Right now, this group of brains is the most intelligent on earth, and they can't keep up with Luo Jia at all. rhythm of thinking.

Luo Jia continued: "There is a large amount of helium-3 on the moon, and the fusion reaction between helium-3 and deuterium releases protons instead of neutrons. The protons carry a positive charge, so the fusion furnace of helium-3 can use a strong negative potential. to decelerate the proton and restrain it."

"When the proton slows down and cools down, when it comes into contact with a proton with a strong negative potential, it will gain an electron and become a mass of ordinary hydrogen. Therefore, the fusion reactor using helium-3 does not need to have a heavy shell, and it does not need to be replaced frequently."

"In the end, nuclear fusion is a prerequisite for us to enter the sea of ​​stars. The most important use is to drive the spaceship. Once the spaceship leaves the earth, it will be responsible for its own life. If something breaks, It will definitely not be able to return to Earth for repairs in time, and requires extreme stability and safety."

"So we can talk about nuclear fusion on the earth, but if we want to go to the sea of ​​stars, we must develop the moon, use helium-3 and deuterium as safe and stable reactants, and then develop Mars and the entire solar system, looking for something safer than helium-3 , a third-generation reactant with a higher energy value!"

"Of course, the road of stars and seas will be the greatest leap in human history. There are still many prerequisites, such as trititanium alloy and graphene. It's expensive, don't look at our Xingchen Technology, which is already as rich as an enemy, but just building a space elevator will almost bankrupt us, darling, tens of billions!"

Everyone laughed, clapped and applauded, applauding Luo Jia's wonderful speech. At the same time, Luo Jia's technical yet humorous language made people feel very cordial.

"That's right! The ultimate solution to neutron bombardment is to have no neutrons!"

"Sure enough, the stars and seas are the future of science, and the fate of our China will be determined by the degree of galaxy development!"

"Space elevators, controllable fusion, moon bases, galaxy mining, a large amount of helium-III mining, a new generation of neutronless fusion, tri-titanium alloys, and the sea of ​​stars! They are all connected together! This is the complete path for human beings to go to the universe. what!"

"Isn't it? The reason why Xingchen Technology is great is because it has a clear goal for the future and knows what to do every step of the way!"

"God bless, tonight's fusion experiment will be a success!"

Everyone was full of enthusiasm and rejoiced at the bright future that Luo Jia described. Bragging is a common trick used by liars. The difference between Luo Jia and liars is that all of his bragging came true in the end.

Luo Jia said with a smile, "The next thing I want to talk about is the third problem, turbulent flow."

"We are studying this problem together with the plasma heating problem. The ultimate goal of nuclear fusion is nothing more than to achieve continuous fusion reaction without auxiliary heating, which is the so-called cold fusion. Cold fusion is the most effective. The way is to use the alpha particles produced by fusion as a heat source, and finally realize the self-sustaining reaction. It is not difficult to manufacture alpha particles, but the key is how to use magnetic confinement to control the alpha particles so that they do not deviate from the normal track."

"So you see, the turbulence generated by fusion needs to be controlled, and the alpha particles that maintain the fusion temperature also need to be controlled. The two major difficulties eventually lead to the same goal, and they all fall on the way of magnetic confinement. Simple confinement is definitely not enough. Fine-tuning the physical effects in the middle.”

"Fine adjustment is easy to say, but in fact, the difficulty has long been against the sky. It requires the fusion control system to respond to the position and type of plasma gas within one millisecond, and then move towards the polar field coil, fast control coil, ultra- The wire loop sends out commands, and the command is not finished after the command is sent, and the coil has to respond immediately within milliseconds."

"A few years ago, we wouldn't even have thought about this kind of millisecond-level fine-tuning, because the fastest Intel Xeon processor at that time couldn't meet the requirements for real-time calculation of fusion reactions. However, today we can finally be proud Announcement, problem solved, because we have the most powerful semiconductor division in the world!"

"The first-generation turbulence chip is the main control chip we developed specifically for fusion reactors. Together with the fusion management system built by artificial intelligence stars, we can make the most precise micro-management of fusion reactors, guide alpha particles, and control The temperature of the fusion reaction confines the plasma and avoids turbulence."

"Of course, the most powerful semiconductor department on earth alone is not enough to complete this work. Our electrical department is also the strongest on earth. They have completed the research and development of millisecond-level fusion coil controllers."

Listening to Luo Jia's words, watching him draw crooked graffiti on the whiteboard, everyone's tears are about to fall. The world's number one semiconductor department and the world's number one electrical department are both existences at a level against the sky.

Why can Xingchen Technology solve the problem that no one else can solve?

Don't ask, it's because of his family background!

Do you think Luo Jia is talking about technology?

wrong!

He is showing off his wealth!

The strongest group of men in China's scientific and technological circles is Luo Jia's greatest wealth!

At this point, everyone woke up like a dream. The problems of tritium, neutron bombardment, turbulence and alpha particles, the ultimate problems that have stumped countless scientists, have all been solved by Xingchen Technology!

Especially with regard to neutron bombardment, Xingchen Technology directly gave the reaction plan for the next three generations. Now it uses deuterium and tritium to react, and when the lunar base is built, it will use deuterium and helium to react. The problem is to manufacture a composite fusion reactor based on graphene and trititanium alloy, let the spacecraft drive farther, enter the busy space, look for super fusion materials that are more efficient than helium three, and develop the third generation of fusion reaction!

What do you say?

What else can I say?

At the end of thousands of words, they all converged into one sentence, Xingchen Technology is awesome!

The scene was completely blown up, and everyone felt the blood rushing, and couldn't help but want to vent, wanting to shout out the excitement in their hearts.

Luo Jia quickly persuaded that the academicians of the two academies are all old, and being too excited is not good for health.

"Seniors, I beg you all, calm down and drink some tea. We haven't succeeded yet. Tonight, we have to challenge the last big problem of controllable fusion."

"And this problem is magnetic confinement!" The new 81 Chinese website is the fastest updated computer terminal:
