Ke Peng and Zheng Shouyi glanced at each other, and then both of them nodded.

Ke Peng sighed: "Actually, Professor Zheng and I talked about this problem two days ago, and we almost knew the result at that time, and after today's test, the question is even clearer." ”

"What's going on, tell me. ”

Zheng Shouyi said: "...... The only thing that limits production is the electromagnetic gauge field and laser pulse equipment in the first part. ”

"So, the remaining question is the laser pulse device?"

"That's right. Zheng Shouyi nodded and patiently explained: "Our goal in the first phase is to build the first generation of fullerene plasma polymerization device, and its output must reach 100 kilograms.

This first-generation device requires 10 units of 1MW of 100 femtosecond UV laser pulsers or 1 10MW of 10 MW of 10 femtosecond UV laser pulsers.

The magnitude of power of 10MW equipment is too high, and the requirements for equipment and components are too high, and no one can do it, and it cannot be produced.

But the 1MW equipment is being produced by someone......"

It is worth mentioning that in news reports, it is often said that the power of a certain laser is how many PWs, which usually refers to the power of a single pulse.

After all, 1PW is equal to 1 quadrillion W, and in real life, such a large amount of power, placed on top of any other device, will be directly blown up if it continues to run for less than a second.

Even the power of the generating units of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is less than 1/10,000 of this power.

In the field of laser pulses, this high power can be achieved briefly by adjusting the time scale.

Because power is the ratio of energy to time, even 1 joule of energy can be expressed as infinite power after the time scale is infinitely reduced.

To put it simply, the principle of laser pulses is to gather a large number of photons in a very small spatial range, and then emit them in a very short time, such as a picosecond, a femtosecond or even an attosecond.

In this very short period of time, an ultra-high-energy extreme environment can be created to achieve the purpose of destroying the molecular structure and crushing the atoms.

Even if it goes deeper, it can simulate the environment at the beginning of the Big Bang.

Of course, this extreme environment can only be observed on picosecond, femtosecond, attosecond and other time scales.

The power of 1MW and 10MW that Zheng Shouyi refers to is only the actual power of the laser pulse equipment.

For example, although a laser pulse with a pulse width of 100 femtoseconds has a power of 10 TW, it is impossible for this pulse to be continuously emitted at a pulse width of 100 femtoseconds.

If it can really be emitted continuously, it is not called a laser pulse, it is called a laser, and it is a super laser, which needs to be continuously emitted 10 trillion times in one second.

This kind of super laser can be used as the ultimate weapon, with a single-point destructive power, no worse than the top nuclear weapons, and even at the attosecond level, directly crushing nuclear weapons.

But in fact, in a time scale of seconds, it can continuously emit hundreds of thousands of laser pulses, which is already a very bald technology for scientists.

No matter how fast it is, there is nothing you can do.

Zheng Shouyi continued: "In addition to power, pulse width is also a top priority.

At present, in the world's top laboratories, the pulse duration of laser pulses has been within 50 ats, and in China, it has also been achieved within 500 attoseconds.

Although there is still some gap, it has finally caught up.

However, the kind of top-level laser pulse equipment generally only exists in key experiments at the national level, and cannot be bought at all.

The most important thing is that the basic laser pulse equipment and cutting-edge experimental equipment in the domestic private sector are too far apart, and the technology is separated by generations.

Mr. Ke and I asked several companies in the north that specialize in laser pulse equipment, and we found that they can manufacture 1MW ultraviolet laser pulse equipment.

However, the pulse width of the laser pulse has just crossed the threshold of the femtosecond level, and it is a bit of a hypocrisy, and we estimate that the quality may not be very qualified.

So there was no way, I discussed with Mr. Ke, in order to ensure the qualification of the device, I could only let people go abroad to buy. ”

Zheng Shouyi said a little helplessly, and sighed: "In the fullerene plasma polymerization device dismantled just now, 10 sets of 250KW 100femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulse equipment from Germany are installed, with a total power of 2.5MW. ”

Jiang Bo grasped the key point of the problem and said: "It means that the total power of the ultraviolet laser pulse equipment is not enough, resulting in insufficient output?"

Zheng Shouyi replied: "That's right, in terms of the output of the first generation of 100-kilogram fullerene plant, this is the main problem.

If it is implemented on a tonnage fullerene device, without increasing the power of the equipment, it must have a pulse width of less than 100 attos.

Nowadays, there are no such commercial miniaturized devices in the world, and they are all laboratory equipment, and the actual power is less than 1KW. ”

"Let's not talk about the tonnage device, let's solve the 100-kilogram device in front of me. Jiang Bo waved his hand and asked again: "Can't you get higher power equipment from Germany?" Is there none, or what's going on?"

"Yes, there is, but the equipment above 1MW + 100 femtoseconds is on the embargo order in Europe, although the company there is willing to sell the equipment to us, but the German official does not give approval, and they dare not sell it. ”

Ke Peng replied, his tone full of helplessness.

Although China's status in the international community is increasing, many of the previously unequal embargo clauses have been outlawed.

However, miniaturized, top-of-the-line UV laser pulsers such as these are still on the embargoed list.

If we want to break this situation, it will take time, and we need Huaxia's national strength to become stronger.

Jiang Bo touched his chin and thought for a while, his eyes moved slightly: "It's not good on the German side, what about other countries? There is always a solution, I remember that Japan's laser pulse technology is not bad, right?"

Zheng Shouyi smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, you finally got the idea, there is indeed a company in Japan that meets our requirements, 1MW ultraviolet laser pulse equipment, and the pulse width of the laser pulse is within 100 femtoseconds, which is completely up to standard." ”

Ke Peng took over and said: "Moreover, we have also contacted each other, and they expressed their willingness to sell relevant ultraviolet laser pulse equipment, but for this level of equipment, every time the power is doubled, the higher the requirements for components, and the price will be doubled." ”

"Are you really willing to sell?" Jiang Bo hurriedly asked.

Ke Peng replied: "Yes, this company is called Yuqi Optoelectronics Company, mainly engaged in optical components and laser equipment, the boss of the company is called Kojima Liang, this person's grandfather is Chinese, so he does not hate us."

The previous two ultra-high-precision diamond processing machines purchased from Japan were his leaders. ”

Because of historical problems, Jiang Bo does not have a good impression of Japan as a country, but on technical issues, he is not biased, and he also admits that others have indeed done a good job in some fields.

Ke Peng continued: "However, if the ultraviolet laser pulse equipment is replaced by the product of Yuqi Optoelectronics, the cost of a fullerene device may reach 50 million.

I discussed this matter with Chief Engineer Zheng, and the gain is greater than the pay, and we both feel that we can place an order.

However, in the end, it is up to the boss to make the decision. ”
