Chapter 281: Stuck Neck
Capital.
In the studio of Beijing Satellite TV's science column, a program about the Super Collider is underway.
"Welcome to this episode of Towards Science, I am the host Zhou Zheng. ”
"In science fiction, film and television or literature, we can always see various descriptions of black holes. In the universe, the terrible scenes of various black holes devouring the planets and destroying the world also left a deep impression on the audience. ”
"But how are black holes formed? Black holes in the universe are formed by the collapse of stars, and in TV science fiction movies, black holes, as a weapon that destroys the world, can be created by the Super Collider. But are supercolliders really capable of creating black holes, how do they work, and what do they do?
"The theme of this episode is decryption - the Super Collider. ”
"To this end, we specially invited Academician Wang Yifang, director of the Huaguo Institute of High Energy Physics and director of the Beijing Positron Collider National Laboratory, to explain the past and present life of the Super Collider, everyone is welcome!"
……
Plasma Laboratory, Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Controlled Nuclear Fusion Tokamak Device 'EAST' Experimental Group.
Turning off the TV with a snap, Academician Li Zhengwu turned his head and sighed.
"It seems that the antimatter project over there has officially begun. ”
"Yes, teacher, I heard Mr. Wang Chengshu say that Cui Chengzhou's guy actually followed. "Academician Li Yongfeng 'hated iron does not make steel'.
Cui Chengzhou, in the mouth of Academician Li Yongfeng, is a proud disciple of Mr. Wang Chengshu, and he has also followed the controlled nuclear fusion project team to study stellarroders and super electromagnetic restraint devices, which is not only his partner, but also his good friend.
Li Yongfeng originally thought that Lao Cui was an academician and would not be easily tempted by Liu Feng, but how did he know that this guy had 'betrayed' the organization and their revolutionary friendship without making a sound, didn't he know that the antimatter engineering project and the controlled nuclear fusion project were competitors?
It's so infuriating!
Since Academician Wang didn't say anything, let him go!" Mr. Li shook his head, "To be honest, if it weren't for the controlled nuclear fusion project, maybe even I would have gotten involved." ”
Academician Li was stunned for a moment: "Teacher, don't you think that antimatter engineering is just a flash in the pan, how can you ......?"
"Alas, in fact, whether it is our controllable nuclear fusion or Professor Liu's antimatter project, as long as it is not done for a day, it will be a flash in the pan. Mr. Li sighed, "Although I don't agree with antimatter engineering, and I don't think Liu Feng can solve the problem of mass production of antimatter, but I am convinced of that guy's academic knowledge." Especially in the 'High Energy Particle Strong Electromagnetic Field Mutual Conversion Confinement Project', the idea is simply fanciful!"
He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of seeing Liu Feng's golden ideas and practicability in the 'High Energy Particle Strong Electromagnetic Field Interchange Constraint Project' at the previous conference.
If that kind of strong electromagnetic field interchange confinement technology can be applied to controlled nuclear fusion, what kind of scenario would it be? I can't say that they can raise the current reaction time to a higher level, at least from tens of seconds to ten minutes again!
It's a pity.
It's a shame.
Academician Li Yongfeng also thought of Liu Feng's proposal, and he couldn't help but sigh at some theories and data on the mutual transformation constraints of strong electromagnetic fields; that Professor Liu was really terrible, and he really wanted to split that guy's head to see how he came up with these theories!
"Forget it, instead of worrying about whether you can get it out for others, it's better to worry about yourself, Yongfeng, how is our high-energy particle strong magnetic field confinement instrument now, can it meet the requirements!"
Academician Li came back to his senses: "Teacher, the temperature of the center of the reactor is still too high, our materials are still not up to standard, and the magnetic field emitted by the center coil cannot meet the requirements at all. ”
"Still can't make it up? Didn't I tell you to go around a few more times?"
Academician Li said with a frown.
The temperature of the controllable nuclear fusion reaction center can be as low as hundreds of millions of open, and as high as even hundreds of millions of open, and the coil made of ordinary materials cannot withstand such high temperatures at all; moreover, the higher the temperature, the greater the resistance of the material, and the same current, the magnetic field environment formed is low, therefore, only the superconducting materials that have undergone special treatment can release a strong magnetic field at such a high temperature.
However, the superconducting materials produced in China are not up to par at all.
Due to the rapid change of the magnetic field, it is easy for the superconductor to lose its superconductivity, coupled with various extreme and complex conditions, coupled with the need to make various complex instruments work normally in a small space, which makes it difficult to realize the full superconducting tokamak, resulting in each subsystem of EAST needs to be supported by more complex systems and requires a variety of new designs.
This time, if they hadn't reached a bottleneck in the optimization of the system, how could they make a fuss about the superconducting coil?
It's a pity that Huaguo has no superconducting materials that can be used for strong magnetic field confinement and controllable nuclear fusion reactions, so it can only be purchased from foreign laboratories, not to mention the high price, others may not sell it to you!
Therefore, during this period of experiments, Academician Li Zhengwu and others have been looking for alternative methods.
Academician Li smiled bitterly: "No, the internal space is just like that, and if you increase the thickness of the coil, you will soon be unable to fit!"
The old gentleman's brows are about to wrinkle into Sichuan characters, is there really no way?
"For now, we can only continue to buy superconducting materials from foreign laboratories......" Academician Li sighed helplessly.
Continue to buy abroad?
The old gentleman's head shook like a rattle.
Last time, EAST achieved the first 'ignition' of the excited plasma state and nuclear fusion, and directly achieved a maximum continuous operation time of 1000 seconds, which is an unprecedented achievement, far behind the ignition time of similar foreign devices.
However, when they continued to buy superconducting materials from abroad, those chicken thieves directly shirked the lack of production and did not sell them to the outside world!
Academician Li still doesn't understand, this is because their device has gone to the front of others, causing people to be jealous!
It's really a group of villains, and they can't compete head-on, so they make small moves......
was angry and angry, but Academician Li had nothing to do with others.
But it can't be done again, do they want to continue to take the initiative to stretch out their faces to beat others this time?
Shame!
"No, you can't start this, otherwise those ghost animals will definitely continue to use this to make a fuss in the future!"
"But our experiment ......," Academician Li stopped talking.
"I don't believe it, without you Zhang Butcher, we wouldn't be able to eat pork!" Mr. Li said viciously, "It's better to cheapen that kid than to cheapen foreigners." Isn't there a new idea and new technology on Liu Feng's side, you go and ask, see if you can share it, and use it on our side first!"
"This ......" Academician Li wiped the cold sweat on his face, thinking that he had already rejected Liu Feng's solicitation, but now he licked his face to ask others, and he also wanted to share other people's technology, not to mention whether people would agree, it was his own face, where should he go!
"What, is there a problem?" the old gentleman glared at him.
"Well, I'll try ...... then"
Academician Li replied weakly.
But I was thinking, why don't you go?
Gotcha, forget it, who called you a teacher, I'm an apprentice......
