Chapter 297 Tritium and Deuterium Reaction! Fusion Preliminary Completed!

Since the summer began in June, the plateau has been extremely low-key in the face of North America's aggressive offensive.

On June 15, Kunlun Group broadcast a routine live program, and the plateau introduced the huge project of guiding Qinghai-Tibet water into Xinjiang.

On July 1st, the plateau made a special series of flying cars. After more than a year of preparation and exploration, flying cars finally landed in the densely populated eastern region, but they were limited to public transportation areas, such as long and short-distance routes between cities, flying taxis, etc.

In this way, even if the flight transportation system officially covers the whole country, air traffic hubs will be established from the south to the north.

Because of the use of cheap electricity as energy, Kunlun Group's strong material science foundation has greatly improved the durability of flying cars, and the safety life of the whole vehicle is as long as fifty years. Therefore, although flying cars look high-end, their actual expenses are lower than those of high-speed rail. Once launched, they are very popular among the people.

Taking Shanghai and Hangzhou as an example, the whole journey takes only fifteen minutes, and almost every minute there are shuttle buses depart from both places at the same time. The crowded period in the afternoon can reach more than 200 trips per hour.

A dense national flying transportation network is being rapidly established, and people are now traveling more conveniently, saving a lot of time on the road. Plateau is very happy about this because his dream is not only in the stars, but also wants to use technology to change everyone's life.

The Chinese people are naturally happy with the changes that are happening around them, but in the West, the media and the melon-eating crowds have found that Kunlun Group has not launched any eye-catching new technologies for two months, and have mocked them for this.

"Can't it be that all luck has been used up? Kunlun Group has been very low-key recently."

"We are moving quickly towards the space age, but they are still building houses, digging water canals, and creating a hell of flying bus network."

"This is the gap. Chinese people have always been petty and guard their own acres of land and do not know how to develop into the future."

"Worship China, when we arrive on Mars, we will miss you."

"The Chinese are quite hardworking. If they are willing to submit to us, they can consider giving them some tickets to the interstellar era."

The huge space exploration plan gives Ansa people more confidence, or restores his arrogant face, and makes full use of sarcasm and ridicule.

However, they didn't know that behind the low-key level of the plateau, an undercurrent was becoming more and more surging.

On May 12, the plasma operation stability model was officially established. The plateau used the knowledge granted by the system to complete all the theoretical defects in the past and created a solid foundation for the final implementation of controllable fusion.

On May 23, the first set of fusion filters in human history were completed. This set of fusion filters can discharge impurities generated by tritium and deuterium reactions out of the first barrier, and can also be compatible with the use of deuterium and helium as fusion materials in the future.

However, mining Helium III requires establishing a lunar base. Judging from the current progress, the West is far ahead in space projects. I am afraid that in the near future, the plateau will have a fierce competition with Musk for the mining rights of the moon.

After all, Musk proposed the Andean lunar base plan for the happiness of all mankind, which could not have been to carry out charity activities. If the plateau’s guess is correct, he must have gone for the huge amount of helium three on the moon.

As we all know, the half-life of tritium is only twelve years and cannot exist naturally. It must be artificially prepared through the reaction of neutrons and lithium. This process is called tritium regeneration in fusion engineering.

To be honest, tritium regeneration technology is like taking off your pants and farting. The effort consumed is too great. It is just for fusion, which is terrible inefficiency.

There is no future in the reaction of deuterium and tritium.

There are amazing amounts of helium 3 on the moon. At the same time, the Earth's seawater contains 45 trillion tons of deuterium. The reaction of helium 3 and deuterium is the key to humans' permanent energy.

If even deuterium and helium were used up, it would have happened many tens of thousands of years later. By then, humans had at least mastered the Dyson ball technology and flew far out of the solar system.

Anyway, Gao Yuan felt that he and Musk must have a battle on the moon. He is so crazy now that he mobilized the entire Western power to explore the space to compete for space hegemony, blocking himself in unmanned space, and fighting for the crucial resource Helium 3.

On June 7, the super heat-resistant materials required for the first barrier to controllable fusion were tested, and it is still Kunlun Group's specialty, polymer carbon materials.

On June 16th, the fusion energy extraction device was completed, and the designed q value reached an astonishing 350. Later, the three reactions of deuterium and helium were used, and the q value was even thousands.

On June 24th, the radiation-proof shell was built.

On June 30, the liquid lithium-lead circulation system and the fusion cooling system were completed at the same time.

At this point, there is still the last and largest technical barrier to the realization of controllable fusion, the tritium circulation system.

Although the plateau will definitely replace tritium with helium three in the later stage to achieve neutron-free fusion, at this stage, the problem of tritium cannot be bypassed.

The production of tritium consumes a large amount of lithium, which is extremely expensive. What is even more difficult is that tritium will produce a large number of neutrons during the fusion process. How to deal with these neutrons is the key to determining whether the fusion of deuterium and tritium can be successful.

As time passes day by day, the West is still celebrating wildly. The media and the melon-eating crowds are making noises, claiming that the space age has arrived and will be led by the Anssa Group.

Although the Chinese have made rapid progress in the field of science and technology recently and are in a brutal momentum, once they reach the space age, they will no longer be able to do so. If they do not accept Western leaders and accept the letter of apology, they will inevitably decline.

...

The wind in the Tarim Basin is always so dry, and it feels prickly on the face of the plateau, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

After stretching, I looked into the night sky on the plateau and saw stars shining, mysterious and vast.

Due to the lack of light pollution, you can often see the starry sky clearly, which is one of the benefits of moving to the Western Regions. When you were in the south of the Yangtze River, you had never seen so many stars on the plateau.

"Boss! Boss!"

Chu Luoluo ran over in a daze, her thin little breasts kept rising and falling.

"Looking at your appearance, you should have passed the operation?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Well!" Chu Luoluo focused his attention, "It really realized that tritium's self-circulation inside the plasma will still generate a large number of neutrons, which will impact magnetic constraints and the first barrier. Otherwise, our fusion system will be almost perfect!"

Gao Yuan smiled, gently touched Chu Luoluo's hair, and helped her sort it out, "The reaction between tritium and deuterium is theoretically destined to be impossible to perfect, but for this stage, it is enough."

Gao Yuan accepted the result calmly because he had already expected it to be successful. After all, he was the only man on earth who had a cheat.

"Boss, what should we do next!" Chu Luoluo asked curiously: "Issuing an order to the Space Group to go to the moon to mine Helium 3?"

"I'm worried that I'm so worried that the three helium mines on the moon will all fall into Musk's hands, and then we will be done! We can't lose this battle!"
