Chapter 505 Four Super Problems to Realize Controllable Fusion!
Everyone was shocked. These academicians from both academies, researchers from the Military High Energy Research Bureau, and experts from the Institute of Plasma of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were all dumbfounded and could not believe their ears.
Star Technology uses two additional systems to solve the problem of excessive consumption of tritium?
This is too awesome!
Tritium is not just a matter of expensiveness, but the tritium resources that humans can use are really limited and it is extremely difficult to extract.
The traditional reaction of deuterium and tritium can only be played in the laboratory. If you want to leave the laboratory and use it in practice, just finding enough tritium resources can drive all scientists crazy.
Xingchen Technology adds lithium to the reaction to proliferate tritium in the reaction, and then adds tungsten, and uses the bubble-like body generated by tungsten during fusion to recover and capture tritium. So in the end, the tritium inside the double helix star-like imitator is actually not consumed much. After burning for a long time, you only need to add a little tritium to it.
I have to say that Luo Jia has once again made too much effort. The fusion technology of energy civilization, even among the stars in the universe, is still top-notch. It is directly used by the earth that has not yet entered the interstellar era. Although Luo Jia has weakened the double-helix star imitator a lot to adapt to the current productivity of the earth, it is still inevitable, which scared the academicians and experts.
The first choice for the two circulation systems is too advanced in terms of concept. Tungsten will produce bubbles during the fusion reaction. Using this bubble to capture tritium to achieve the effect of repeated use is definitely a magical move! It's so damn amazing! So it exploded directly on the scene!
"This is a fusion device that does not consume tritium!"
"Since there is no need to consume tritium, the cost of fusion is greatly reduced. If successful, it can be directly applied to reality!"
"It is worthy of being the strongest group of people in the technology industry. Xingchen Technology has been going to the end from the beginning!"
"Awesome! Xingchen Technology is awesome!"
Of course, the academicians have reason to be excited. They have been doing all their knowledge for a lifetime and understand the difference between experiments and reality more than anyone else. Fusion experiments have been done many times around the world, but Xingchen Technology is aimed at the application. If the experiments in the early morning are successful, Xingchen Technology will dare to mass-produce fusion furnaces on a large scale tomorrow.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Luo Jia. Even the academicians of the two academies, the eyes when they looked at him became more and more burning, and they became different.
After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "As we all know, there are four major problems in achieving controllable fusion. What I just mentioned is the first problem, how to use precious tritium efficiently."
"The second of the four major problems is called neutron bombardment."
While talking, Luo Jia finally couldn't help but pull out the whiteboard. There were as many as 17 academicians from both academies alone. It would be fine if Luo Jia likes to teach employees in the company, but to teach academicians, it is obvious that she is very suspicious of being pretentious.
But it is really hard to change if you can't resist the habit. Whenever Luo Jia talks about technology, if there is no whiteboard behind him, he will feel something short and feel uncomfortable all over.
The atomic pen quickly graffitied on the whiteboard, Luo Jia drew the shape of the fusion device and began to describe the process of fusion reaction.
"Most fusion reactions will inadvertently release a major disaster. The name of the disaster is high-energy uncontrolled neutrons. Since neutrons are not charged, they cannot be constrained and controlled. In order to prevent neutrons from running around, high-density substances must be used to block them."
"Then the problem is, the neutron is powerful. Over time, the shell will become riddled with holes under the continuous bombardment of neutrons. It is porous and crisp like a sponge. It is originally safe and controllable fusion. If it is done by uncontrolled neutrons, it will become a terrible time bomb."
Everyone nodded. Controllable fusion is the dream of countless scientists, and of course everyone is very clear about the difficulties of this technology.
"So what technology have you used to fight neutron bombardment? Do you use your unique graphene material on the shell?"
"The hardness of graphene is 21.8 times that of diamonds, which is theoretically enough to fight neutron bombardment. At worst, a new shell can be replaced every few years."
"Yes, for the whole world, fighting neutron bombardment is a huge problem, but Xingchen Technology does not, because they not only have graphene, but also carbon nanotubes. The strength of these two materials can even support space elevators at a height of 36,000 kilometers!"
Everyone was very excited and showed great confidence in Xingchen Technology. As the saying goes, one trick is so good that Xingchen Technology has long left all scientific research institutions on the earth in materials science. It is the space elevator that no one dares to imagine. Xingchen Technology directly did it. This is the confidence brought to them by the basic advantages.
Luo Jia smiled, "Of course graphene needs to be used, but the final solution is on the moon."
On the moon?
A large group of experts and scholars were stunned again. They all knew that Luo Jia's thinking was always unexpected and imaginative, but they did not expect that this guy's thinking was so powerful. At present, this is a group of the smartest brains on the earth and could not keep up with Luo Jia's thinking rhythm at all.
Luo Jia continued: "There are a large number of helium three on the moon, and the fusion reaction between helium three and deuterium is not neutrons, but protons. The protons carry a positive charge, so the fusion furnace of helium three can use a strong negative potential to slow down the protons and constrain it."
"When the protons decelerate and cool down, when they come into contact with a proton with a strong negative potential, they will obtain an electron and turn into a ball of ordinary hydrogen. Therefore, using a fusion reactor with Helium 3, the shell does not need to be too thick or replaced frequently."
"After all, nuclear fusion is a prerequisite for us to enter the sea of stars. The most important purpose is to drive the spacecraft. Once the spacecraft leaves the earth, it will be responsible for its own life. If it breaks down, it will definitely not be able to return to the earth for repair. It requires extreme stability and safety."
"So it's easy to say that we are doing nuclear fusion on Earth, but when we move towards the sea of stars, we must develop the moon, use safe and stable reactants such as helium three and deuterium, and then develop Mars and the entire solar system to find a third-generation reactant that is safer than helium three and has higher energy values!"
"Of course, the road to the Sea of Stars will be the greatest leap in human history. There are many prerequisites required. For example, although three-titanium alloy and graphene are good, they cannot afford to build spacecraft. It is too expensive. Although our Stars Technology is already rich enough to rival a country, just building a space elevator will almost ruin us. Be good, tens of thousands of billions!"
Everyone laughed, clapped and applauded Luo Jia's wonderful speech. At the same time, Luo Jia's language of skill and humor was also very friendly.
"That's right! The final solution to solving neutron bombardment is to have no neutrons!"
"Sure enough, the sea of stars is the future of science, and the fate of our China will be determined by the degree of development of galaxies!"
"Space elevator, controllable fusion, lunar base, galaxy mining, large amount of helium three mining, a new generation of neutron-free fusion, three titanium alloy, and the sea of stars! It's stringed together, all stringed together! This is the complete path for humans to move to the universe!"
"That's right. The reason why Star Technology is great is that it has a clear goal for the future and knows what it wants to do every step!"
"God bless you, the fusion experiment will be successful tonight!"
Everyone was full of passion and was excited about the bright future depicted by Luo Jia. Painting big pie and bragging is a common trick for liars, and the difference between Luo Jia and liars is that he bragged so much, and finally achieved everything.
Luo Jia smiled and said, "What I want to talk about below is the third question, turbulence."
"We have studied 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. This is the so-called cold fusion. The most effective way to cold fusion is to use the alpha particles generated by fusion as a heat source to ultimately achieve self-sustaining reactions. It is not difficult to make alpha particles. The key is how to use magnetic constraints to control alpha particles so as not to deviate from normal orbit."
"So you see, the turbulence generated by fusion needs to be controlled, and the alpha particles that maintain fusion temperature also need to be controlled. The two major difficulties ultimately end up with the same fate, and they all fall into the magnetic constraint. Simple constraints are definitely not enough. We need to make micro-adjustment of the physical effects that occur in the fusion reactor."
"Micro-adjustment is simple, but in fact the difficulty is already amazing. It requires the fusion control system to respond to the position and type of plasma gas within one millisecond, and then issue instructions to the extreme field coil, fast control coil, and superconducting coil. After the command is issued, the coil must respond immediately within milliseconds."
"If it were a few years ago, we wouldn't even think about this millisecond micro-tuning, because the fastest Intel Xeon processor at that time could not meet the requirements of real-time computing fusion reactions. However, today we can finally proudly announce that the problem has been solved because we have the most powerful semiconductor department in the world!"
"The first generation of turbulence chips are the main control chips we developed specifically for fusion reactors. In combination with the fusion management system built by artificial intelligence stars, we can make the most accurate micromanagement of fusion reactors, guide alpha particles, control the temperature of the fusion reaction, constrain plasma, and avoid 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 and watching him draw crooked graffiti on the whiteboard, everyone's tears were almost falling. The world's number one semiconductor department and the world's number one electrical department are all against the sky.
A problem that no one else can solve, why can Xingchen Technology solve it?
Don’t ask, ask is the family’s wealth!
Do you think Luo Jia is talking about technology?
wrong!
He is showing off his wealth!
The strongest tough guy group in the Chinese technology industry is Luo Jia’s greatest wealth!
At this point, everyone woke up as if they were dreaming. The problem of tritium, the problem of neutron bombardment, the problem of turbulence and alpha particles, all of which stumped countless scientists were solved by Xingchen Technology!
Especially regarding neutron bombardment, Xingchen Technology directly gave a reaction plan for the next three generations. Now, deuterium and tritium reactions are used to react. When the moon base is built, deuterium and helium reactions are used to solve the problem of trititanium alloy. It will create a composite fusion reactor based on graphene and trititanium alloy, so that the spacecraft can drive further and enter busy space, find super fusion substances that are more efficient than helium three, and develop the third generation fusion reaction!
What are you talking about?
What else can you say?
Thousands of words at the end, all of them formed a sentence, Xingchen Technology is awesome!
The scene was completely exploded, and everyone felt their blood was in vain. They couldn't help but want to vent and shout out the excitement in their hearts.
Luo Jia quickly persuaded that these academicians from both academies are old and being too excited is not good for their health.
"Dear seniors, I beg you all, calm down and have some tea. We haven't succeeded yet. Tonight, we will challenge the last big problem of controllable fusion."
Chapter completed!
