Black Bone Nuclear Fusion Institute. When Jiang Bo came here, Zhou Ping and Pan Xinlong were still discussing things.

"Mr. Jiang, you are here. Zhou Ping and the two greeted him.

Jiang Bo nodded, found a chair and sat down, and said:

"I just received the latest international news that the nuclear fusion research in the United States has reached the point where it can build a nuclear fusion reactor and enter the commercial field, what do you two think of this news?"

Zhou Ping glanced at Pan Xinlong. Pan Xinlong replied in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, this matter should be true. ”

"How?"

Pan Xinlong said: "When I was doing research work in the United States, I met some friends, and one of them happened to be a researcher in the project of the US magnetic confinement nuclear fusion breakthrough.

I just called him to make sure.

It's true. ”

Jiang Bo bowed his head slightly and asked, "What is the specific experimental data on the US side, do you know anything?"

Pan Xinlong nodded and said slowly: "As far as I know, the project that made a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion in the United States this time is a joint research project between General Atomics and the Princeton Plasma Laboratory.

It is called D5D, which is the fifth generation of D-section magnetic confinement devices.

The D5D device is larger and more flexible than the previous two generations of D3D, and it also solves the embarrassing situation that the D3D device cannot obtain fusion power output.

And because the iron-rich materials exported by our company are perfect superconducting magnetic confinement materials.

After adding iron-rich materials, the D5D device basically solves the problems of unevenness and instability of ferrofluids, impurity radiation, and abnormal transport of electrons and ions. ”

Pan Xinlong said in a deep voice: "In a recent experiment, the steady-state confinement time of 100 million degrees of plasma in the D5D device reached 85 minutes, the Q value reached 12.1, and βn was also greater than 3.5.

This has completely exceeded the standard of the high-performance steady-state operation scheme proposed by ITER, which is 'Q>5, βn>3, and >1000 seconds'.

It can be said that the research results achieved by the D5D device in the field of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion in the United States have completely led the ITER program. ”

Pan Xinlong stopped talking when he said this.

Jiang Bo pursed his lips, a little unhappy: "So, the reason why the United States has made a breakthrough in nuclear fusion research is also related to our iron-rich materials?"

Zhou Ping took over and said: "There is a certain relationship, but the relationship is not so direct."

Let's put it this way, more than two years ago, the United States suddenly announced its withdrawal from ITER, and I estimate that as early as that time, the D5D project had already made a breakthrough in the research of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion.

But probably theoretically.

For example, by making the Q value (energy gain factor) greater than 5 and the specific pressure limit greater than 3, they have solved the problem of energy constraint through a better scheme. ”

Zhou Ping continued: "Moreover, in terms of superconducting magnetic confinement materials, they have also been prepared for a long time.

As far as I know, Blake's team actually proposed the theory of iron-based superconductivity above 200K three years ago, and some traces can be found in the journal Science.

Even if we don't have the room-temperature superconducting material of iron-rich that we have developed, we can still achieve a good confinement effect with Blake's new high-temperature superconducting material.

Of course, with iron-rich, this time can be greatly advanced, and the data produced is more beautiful and the constraints are more stable, which can be used to build nuclear fusion reactors to generate electricity, and begin to be commercialized. ”

Jiang Bo listened to Zhou Ping's words and did not make an evaluation.

In his opinion, Zhou Ping's words have some truth, but they are definitely not the truth.

Judging from the information [in the name of Zhou Ping], nuclear fusion will definitely not make a breakthrough this year, even in the United States.

Moreover, within a few months of the first batch of iron-rich materials from the United States, the all-superconducting magnetic confinement nuclear fusion broke through

Even, Jiang Bo felt that it was because of the perfect characteristics of iron-rich that he helped the D5D device in the United States to complete a big breakthrough.

However, even if it is the reason for the iron-rich material, it is too late to say anything now, after all, it is impossible for the United States to return the iron-rich material.

Jiang Bo asked, "To what extent has our company's nuclear fusion research progressed?"

Zhou Ping and Pan Xinlong were stunned, their faces a little embarrassed.

After grinding for a few seconds, Zhou Ping coughed lightly: "Mr. Jiang is honest, we have a thin foundation and started late, and the nuclear fusion device received from China University of Science and Technology has just been completed for half a year, and many difficulties in nuclear fusion energy restraint are still being studied, which is not as good as the United States."

So...... There are no research results yet.

If you have to do it, it is not impossible, relying on the strong magnetic field of iron-rich and the characteristics of ultra-room temperature, it can also heat the plasma to more than 100 million degrees Celsius for steady-state confinement.

However, the time will not exceed 100 seconds, and the Q value does not meet the standard of ITER, which cannot be compared with the research results of D5D in the United States.

If you want to build a fusion reactor, it will be even more useless.

But don't worry, Lao Pan and I are very confident in this research, and if we give us a year or two at most, we will definitely be able to meet the standard of the American D5D device. ”

Seeing that Zhou Ping was so confident, Jiang Bo smiled with relief and said, "Professor Zhou, I am relieved and believe in your work, but there is no need to be too anxious, you must calm your mind and don't be affected by the United States."

It's still some time before they build a fusion reactor, and while we're lagging behind now, we're not necessarily going to lag behind them in terms of future fusion reactors and commercial applications. ”

Although the United States has achieved a leading position in the research of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion this time.

But the problem is that people have been engaged in it for many years, and they have already planned and planned, and the black bones have just started, and they can't catch up with others, and it's normal to lose.

As long as Jiang Bo gets the [first-generation controllable nuclear fusion technical solution] in the store, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to catch up with the United States?

Jiang Bo is not at all worried that Black Bone will fall behind in the nuclear fusion race.

Because, this game has only just begun.

......

However, Jiang Bo and Zhou Ping's mentality is very stable.

But for the rest of the world, that's different.

On September 15, after it was revealed that the United States' magnetic confinement nuclear fusion research had entered a new field and could start building nuclear fusion reactors, the world's Internet was swept up by this news.

On the U.S. side, countless media outlets began to hype up and exaggerate the matter.

CNN Calls It the Most Exciting Study of the Century

"The New York Times said that Professor Rice, the head of D5D, is the father of magnetic confinement fusion"

"Time Magazine Says The Era of Infinite Energy for Mankind Is Coming"

《......》

It seems that the United States has really done something groundbreaking.

As everyone knows, the D5D device is just an experimental device for nuclear fusion, and it will take three or five years to ten or eight years before the real nuclear fusion reactor is established, it starts to generate electricity, connects to the grid, and puts it into commercial use.

However, there has never been a shortage of ignorant people in this world, and many American netizens began to make a lot of nonsense on the Internet after being brainwashed by the news.
