Chapter 656, the fission experiment, it was actually successful in one attempt

The construction of the Umbrella Nuclear Energy R&D Center was fast, because the core equipment was not a local product, and with the help of the government, an incomparably large particle accelerator was widely distributed, and it was built in batches in factories across the country, and then shipped directly to the foot of the Acre Mountains in Utah.

The particle accelerator is in the shape of a ring and is laid beneath the surface, which is the only reason for the entire research institute to dig deep underground. It's not as exaggerated as the beehive a few miles away next door, but a few tens of meters are still needed, and a whole ring occupies the area of dozens of stadiums, which really can't be built anywhere.

Of course, a simple particle accelerator can only study basic physics, and nuclear energy physics requires simulated reactor equipment, which Alice certainly has in mind.

Whether it's a particle accelerator, a simulated reactor, or even any experimental equipment, as long as the cost is sufficient, it is not difficult to build at all. The reason why researchers regard them as treasures is that on the one hand, the academic significance is on the one hand, and the key is that they are basically just pure scholars who live on funds.

But if the investor is a tycoon himself, then who cares about these trivialities?

At the same time, a large number of scientists were also called up into the army, and in this regard, Alice Wang's innate advantage is really outstanding. She was born as a technical figure in the computer industry, and then gradually transformed to the current stage, during which she has always been very close to various colleges and institutions, and the recruitment of researchers is not once or twice, so it can be said that how many people are actually looking forward to it.

Just look at the two series of drugs of Umbrella Pharmaceutical, how can physicists not look forward to today's project?

Almost all scientific achievements are based on countless practices, but occasionally geniuses first propose theories, and it is not until later that someone gradually confirms them, such as Einstein's theory of relativity and Hawking's wormhole theory. All Alice has to do now is do the same thing, which is to submit the theory out of thin air and then have it verified by her scientists, saving a lot of unnecessary time.

The city of Laken has finally begun to expand in earnest, and the bar street is a seasonal product, so it's only possible to settle down. Now, it's on the move.

There is no doubt that when a group of scientists come to work in the two research centers on the outskirts of the city, it is inevitable that many people will choose to live in Rafa. In addition, some blue-collar workers who have completed engineering tasks may also stay in Laken City and move to other positions that require them. With the participation of the intellectual class and the participation of manual and skilled workers, the rudimentary structure of the city was predicted, which is gratifying.

Of course, all these changes take time, and at this moment, Alice has too much coordination to deal with.

First, she is working on a new, highest-speed ternary computer. The system is, of course, the HP-001 of artificial intelligence, but after a short period of time, it is time to improve the hardware functions again. The underground plant room she designed for the hive was such a large area that there was no reason to just move old goods there. She estimated that if the new computer could be settled in the hive in 95, it would be a short time to use 2,000 years of computing power according to its design.

What's more, it's just outdated, not unusable.

At the same time, she is racking her brains to think of new nuclear fission techniques. After drinking a bunch of cooking oil without a lot of money, she can indeed manipulate a small number of microscopic particles for fission reactions, but it is still a long time to find the law theorem. After all, her current role is just a humanoid superparticle collider.

Experiment to get the results, and then find the pattern according to the results, neither work is a simple job. If there's one difference between her and the collider parts she's being shipped to the Salt Lake Desert, it's that they're more efficient. In all kinds of serious laboratories, every time you apply to use these big guys, you need a lot of money from senior personnel, and even the most important national physics laboratory, who can start the machine 2,400 times a day?

Alice is fine, but if she were replaced by those tin guys, she would have aged a long time ago, right!?

What's more, getting the results is only the first step, and then there is follow-up work, that is, Alice has a good head, and if she wants ordinary researchers to do control analysis experiments, isn't it just how many people and how many nights? To be reasonable, even if all the nuclear physicists in the United States are gathered together and 2,400 results are thrown out in one breath for group study, it will be considered fast to complete the analysis in one year!

So the efficiency is really fast, and it took a total of two months to go without a long time. As early summer approached, the prototype of the Nuclear Energy Research Institute was established, dozens of researchers and the Ring Particle Collider were in place, and Alice threw the New Fission Technology Version 1.0 to the group.

"Is this really reliable?"

The old professor at Caltech held the A4 paper, full of doubts, but he was not sure of his conclusion: "The theoretical speculation is indeed very reasonable, you even wrote a formula, but unless you have done dozens or hundreds of experiments, it is difficult to even come up with a model, right?"

Another middle-aged professor at MIT looked at the article, his eyes constantly shining: "It's worth a try, it's definitely worth a try, this is simply the final answer I've been pondering for many years! No, no, this sentence is too absolute, but Miss Wang, these indexes of yours are really just right, I haven't thought that I can write like this after five years of research!"

The above two professors, both of whom were senior experts employed by another nuclear energy research institute, were also valued by Alice after being recruited to Utah. There are many scholars like them in the entire nuclear energy research center now, but they are the most outstanding, and of course, the entire conference room is simply full.

"What nonsense, let's start the machine quickly!"

It was a research assistant with a double Ph.D., holding Alice's papers like crazy: "I can't wait to try it, every inference Alice makes is true, Alice Alice, have you really never played in the world of nuclear physics, why are you better than old Brian?"

Alice remembered the names of each of the researchers, but this was not the time to greet them one by one, as she was not the director of the institute. As the boss, she has only one thing to do now, that is, with a wave of her hand, let the appointed director take all the younger brothers and run to the location of the simulated reactor!

Currently, the research center uses electricity from a power station far away. In the long term, the Umbrella will also invest in the construction of one dozens of miles away from the city of Laeken, but the recent work has continued, and it is still only at the drawing stage. Therefore, now start all kinds of large-scale equipment, the theoretical cost is a little higher than in the future, after all, the power grid company also has to make money, who gives you the cost price.

Simulated reactors, of course, will not be as biologically unfit as real nuclear reactors, and the small reaction capacity is the biggest factor. When an ordinary nuclear power plant generates electricity, a fuel rod is inserted into it and it is left to various controllable fission reactions for many years. In simulated reactors, there are only a handful of uranium atoms that will split at a start-up, and people want the result of fission, not on-site power generation.

Alice's file is in hand, and all the researcher needs to do now is to adjust the instrument according to the above theory. This is really not a job that ordinary people can do, and countless parameters are constantly adjusted, from temperature control and magnetic field restraint control, to a series of complex data such as neutron emission position and angular momentum, all of which need to be adjusted one by one.

It is not surprising that a certain type of scientific theory takes a long time to be released, there are too many variables, and the time, funds, and number of experiments are really limited, unless the results are known in advance and the variables are directly adjusted in place, otherwise who can be formed at one time? Three people can have nine kinds of interpersonal relationships, nine people can have eighty-one relationships, and even the idiot researcher has theoretical knowledge to support it, if he really lets a stupid child who doesn't understand fill in the data casually, he will not get the result of human extinction!

Watching the researcher fill in the data in a serious manner, Alice was also a little nervous in her heart. Of course, don't look at the surrounding group of science and engineering houses, even if her theory fails, this group of people will not OOXX themselves. It's just that this is the conclusion that she simulated after how many barrels of cooking oil she drank, and if it failed like this, it wouldn't be a waste of food!

So many African friends are hungry, if she wastes so much food, she will go to hell!

Soon, the parameters were filled in and the simulation test started.

The onlookers' eyes sparkled.

Alice's mouth was pouted, she believed in her head, but she was afraid that the chain would fall at a critical moment.

There was a buzzing roar, and the huge simulated reactor began to work, and in the very small space, the launched neutrons began to shoot at the uranium nucleus. The researchers were stupidly waiting for the results, but Alice couldn't help it, and had already probed her mental power into the reactor.

No doubt, this is not an experiment in some field of quantum state philosophy, so it doesn't matter if you observe.

There is a profound science in quantum theory to the effect that it is almost impossible to observe some kind of future change. Because, as long as they observe, then what they observe must be "this kind of future change that they observe", not "this kind of future change that they do not observe".

It's a very chewy statement, but that's what it means. Science and engineering are not literary circles, a sentence is a sentence, a definition is a definition, no one is showing off their literary talents, and the meaning of words and sentences is what it means. The difference between the "this" change that "they observed" and the "this" change that "they did not observe" can be seen at a glance by those who are good at logic, and no one thinks that this is a grammatical act that the literary world shows off.

Spiritual energy is a kind of fluctuation at the level of quantum states, but the nuclear fission impact experiment that is being carried out now is not those mysterious things in quantum states, but just an intimate interaction of a neutron crashing into the nucleus, and more neutrons colliding into more nuclei. So Alice is 100% sure that her voyeurism won't interfere with the progress of this microscopic experiment at all, so feel free to watch it boldly.

Soon after, with a drip, the results came out.

Everyone looked at it with wide eyes.

Outcome...... That's right!

There was silence in the control room, that is, the simulated reactor outside, which had just stopped running, was still roaring before hibernation.

"Wow, that's right. ”

In the end, Alice spoke: "It seems that the result of my confusion is quite correct, but in order to avoid coincidences, how about we try a few more times?"

What do you think?

Needless to say?

Of course, it will continue!

The current experiment is not a 100% direct simulation of the fission reaction, but only to verify that Alice's formula is correct. After the uranium-235 nucleus undergoes a fission reaction, whether it can undergo the next round of fission and release energy depends only on whether this determination is correct or not. Just like those research institutes that study nuclear fusion, everyone is not stupid to directly pursue the full birth of controlled nuclear fusion, as long as it can form a minimal reaction in an artificial environment, it is a success!

And now, the same result is here.

Even Alice herself didn't expect it to be so powerful. She did succeed countless times in her brain, and her mental power manipulated the microscopic particles to collide constantly, and forcibly cracked the fissioned uranium-235 nucleus again, but this is the unique skill of a superpower. It's not a surprise that the same experiment was moved to a formal test site, and the same results were actually obtained.

Needless to say, the group of researchers was completely shocked. Although this "New Fission Technology Version 1.0" is far less great than the theory of relativity, and everyone's experiments do not see the clock slow down in a microscopic state, it is also a historic moment when pure theory is proven by practice!

"Contact all the nuclear waste storage sites at once and ask them to send us their stockpiles. Of course, now it's just a notice, and although we don't need to sleep with a bunch of dangerous goods at any time, we still need to build a safe storage room. ”

Alice made a decision immediately, so the project was still in cooperation with the government. Whether it's uranium-235 or nuclear waste, it's not something that ordinary entrepreneurs can just find on the street, but if they can get strong government support, the most troublesome key points will directly become the easiest part. Anyway, this technology was originally released to contribute to all mankind, and Alice certainly didn't need to play mysticism stupidly.

The experiment records and application reports quickly reached Washington, and it was night, and Bill Clinton, who had just taken the stage and was full of ambition, almost swallowed his dentures with laughter. Energy infrastructure, a century-old cause, he is going to be famous for a thousand years!

Cooperate, give me my full cooperation!
