"The energy supply is normal, ready for energy delivery!"
"The laser emission array is normal, and it is being recharged and prepared, and it is expected that the countdown to the last ten seconds will start in twenty minutes!"
"Plasma ready!"
"Magic Constraint Unit Activation...... One qiē is normal!"
"The high-temperature resistance link has been tested...... One qiē is normal!"
"Magnetic Field Activation...... There is no abnormality in the ignition!"
In the huge underground room, all kinds of orders are issued, reports are heard one after another, countless instruments, extremely large-scale and grandiose things, countless white coats are like a fearless soldier ready to step on the battlefield, and the tense and solemn atmosphere is stored in every inch of the air.
With the fantastical color of the Nuwa project greater than the investment of rational understanding, it is natural that some countries have devoted themselves to researching the topic of the century -- controlled nuclear fusion, which is a breakthrough in the face of mysteries.
Controlled nuclear fusion, also known as artificial sun, is a great scientific idea and research to solve the shortage of human energy in one fell swoop and completely break the current pattern of productivity. Silently struggling, but until the mysterious appearance, the countries invested huge resources in this project, and thus formed a set of mechanisms and liaison agencies for international cooperation, overcoming countless difficulties, achieving the initial integration of resources, concentrating the human and material resources of all mankind, accommodating dozens of countries with relevant qualifications to join this grand plan......
Even so, it is still a long way from the realization of truly controlled nuclear fusion.
We all know that the energy on Earth, whether it is in the form of ore fuel, wind power, hydropower, or energy stored in the form of flora and fauna (such as oil. The ultimate source is the sun.
Ore fuels evolved from plants and animals millions of years ago, and the energy of plants and animals (both today and in the past) ultimately comes from solar energy stored by the photosynthesis of plants at the bottom of the food chain.
Wind is caused by the convection of hot and cold air due to the uneven heat and cold caused by the sun's heating of the atmosphere.
The potential energy of water is also heated by the sun, so that the water body evaporates, the water vapor rises, and then it is "carried" in the form of precipitation, and a relatively high position is formed, so that the water flows to the place, and the potential energy is formed.
So no matter what kind of energy we're using, it's all about using the sun, and where does the sun's energy come from?
The answer is nuclear fusion!
Therefore, if we master the method of releasing the energy of nuclear fusion in an orderly and safe manner, we will be able to master the energy source of the sun, and we will be able to master the endless energy sources of fossil fuels, wind and hydropower, and we will be able to convert the key into a qiē energy, which is theoretically endless!
This is the grand meaning of controlled nuclear fusion, the artificial sun.
Imagine if the electricity we use every day was almost free and inexhaustible, how much it would give a huge boost to today's material production, and human beings would fundamentally eliminate the factors that threaten their survival.
When energy is cheaper, so will the basic materials needed for survival, which is the most significant and inevitable prospect.
In addition, there are many, many applications and meanings, but what are the difficulties that have been bothering mankind and cannot be realized?
The easiest fusion reaction in nature is the fusion of deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen, which has been going on on the sun for 5 billion years.
People know that thermonuclear fusion began with the explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
Scientists hope to invent a device that can effectively control the process of "hydrogen bomb explosion" and make the energy continue to stabilize the output, difficulty one, the conditions of the nuclear fusion reaction require a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees in an instant, and only at such a temperature can the fusion reaction occur, and the second difficulty is that the fusion reaction of hundreds of millions of degrees, what material can be used to make the device to accommodate it!
In order to solve these two difficulties, scientists have come up with a lot of solutions, but without exception, a difficult solution will inevitably lead to more difficulties, until the emergence of mysterious elements, scientists in various countries are still working hard to overcome them one by one from all aspects, even the most optimistic estimates, the mature application of controlled nuclear fusion, at least 50 years.
But now it is different, the emergence of mystical elements, different worldviews and the initial interpretation of a completely different set of truths is like opening a whole new window for scientists, through which endless new theories, fresh materials, fresh ideas and solutions emerge!
On the surface, all countries are high-profile to develop their latest applications for mystery, such as super warriors, super soldiers, titan projects, etc., but secretly they are doing their best and silently trying to realize this grand blueprint.
"We're about to light a sun!" The chief scientist stood on the general control platform, excitedly watching through the tempered glass as his colleagues in the hall were busy making final preparations, his white messy hair trembled slightly, and several core scientists and project leaders around him had the same eyes and expressions.
Only the general, who was in charge of the security of the entire base, was able to maintain a general calm, and he asked, "What is the probability of success?"
The Chief Scientist shook his head, "The simulation is 94% on the supercomputer, but our understanding of the mystery is too superficial, once the latest restraint device is off...... That's why I've repeatedly asked to bring in a master in this area from Nia to assist us in ......"
"Professor Han, needless to say, the country has national difficulties, and all we can do is obedience and understanding!"
The Chief Scientist sighed, "It's not enough to get to the point where it was before, it takes a fundamental breakthrough to mark the success of Shiyàn." ”
"What do you mean by a fundamental breakthrough?"
"For this ignition, we input a huge amount of energy in an instant, and if the energy output of this fusion is less than what we input, then ......"
"Isn't that a loss-making deal?"
The chief scientist smiled wryly, "Yes, only if the output is much greater than the input energy, can the work we are currently doing have practical application value, otherwise it will ......"
"Did other countries achieve ......?"
"What are you kidding, if it is realized, controlled nuclear fusion will have initial practical application value, how have you ever heard of such heavy scientific progress?"
The general smiled, did not speak any more to disturb, and succeeded in appeasing the feelings of the people, his goal has been achieved, no matter what, this time the real yàn can only succeed and not fail, the country is in no hurry, and urgently needs to break through the current bottleneck in one fell swoop, and completely solve the last shackles of human take-off.
