Chapter 280: Humanity's Journey from Cocoon to Butterfly
In fact, the vast majority of people on the Internet do not understand how the specific experiment is carried out, and can only draw conclusions through the analysis of some experts and authoritative figures. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the theory of the tokamak was proposed, it has carried the dreams of many people, and words such as controllable, clean energy, infinite, and artificial sun have gone viral on the Internet.
The vast majority of people know that this may be the only way to approach the human energy problem, and only by solving the whole problem can the entire human society have a qualitative leap.
However, most of them do not know how difficult it is to control the high temperature of 100 million degrees.
After He Hai's rebound spread, all kinds of information that could fail and increase difficulty began to spread on the Internet.
At this time, not only the citizens of Huaxia Kingdom paid attention, but since Xie Dong issued an announcement, many foreign media have also noticed this information.
Whether the state of hostility or the state of competition, the country has begun to report on it in a big way, after all, energy is a problem that all human beings need to face together.
"According to the latest reliable information, the overall construction volume of the tokamak has been completed by 40%, and the biggest controllable problem has not been effectively solved!" Xinhua News Agency.
"How difficult is it? How big will the results be? Will Academician Xie Dongxie, who has always regarded himself as an inventor, be able to complete this experiment? We'll see! Global Times.
"There is no doubt that he is great, and since he started researching, he has solved countless scientific research problems. From artificial intelligence to holographic projection, from holographic projection to ion thrusters, no one in the world today has achieved anything like him. But there is no doubt that he is also shameless, and his actions have left tens of millions of Japanese people unemployed! The Wall Street Journal.
"This will be a journey of human beings to break out of their cocoon and become a butterfly! It takes painful struggles and relentless efforts to get a new lease of life! Was it a success or a failure? It's a problem that all human beings need to face together! Here, we faithfully wish him success! The Times.
"Is it possible for us to solve this problem now? I don't think it's likely! This Huaxia Guoxie academician can't do it either! Tokamak's difficulty isn't just about talking, he needs to think from a scientific point of view! Without a doubt, this is a great project. However, it is not a problem that he can solve! The latest remarks from a tokamak research expert in Paris.
Like He Hai, most of the world's tokamak experts are not optimistic about Xie Dong's approach, because as long as the people who are really involved in it know how difficult it is, and there are countless problems waiting for him to solve.
No matter how noisy it was outside, Xie Dong had not paid attention to the information on the Internet since he entered the state of research, and all his thoughts were devoted to the latest research.
For him, there is a specific plan, but the most critical problem is the material, only the material problem is solved, other problems are not a problem, and the material problem, the biggest problem, is the problem of heat-resistant materials.
As we all know, the temperature of the entire tokamak will be as high as more than 100 million degrees, and no matter on the whole earth can carry such a high temperature.
Now announced in the world, the most heat-resistant material, or Xie Dong researched the new nano material fire micro steel, this material has become a restricted material, need the state to approve the use, can not be exported, if you can apply, then every kilogram of fire micro steel, need to pay a huge amount of purchase funds to the star company.
However, the tokamak problem is not something that Huoweigang can solve, and the high temperature of 10,000 degrees and the high temperature of 100 million degrees are completely different concepts.
Therefore, the final result is still on the material problem, as long as you can find a super heat-resistant material, all the problems will be solved.
Controllable?
Perhaps, it is not as difficult as imagined!
Of course, the most important problem now is to build the infrastructure first, after a month of hard work, the overall project volume has been completed 40 percent, but for Xie Dong is far from enough, the last 10 percent is the biggest problem.
For the next two consecutive months, they continued to invest in research, reconstruction, and finding problems, and more than 100 people in the entire laboratory began to work overtime every day, which was made miserable by Xie Dong.
At his request, more than a dozen new research devices have been built in the original tokamak laboratory.
One afternoon, two months later, Xie Dong convened a meeting of all senior executives to discuss.
"I just re-looked at the controller device, and the effect is still not up to the requirements! There are too many deviations! ”
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, he didn't seem to have slept well last night, and he still had dark circles under his eyes, he took a deep breath and said tiredly: "The overall engineering volume of the first and second phases has been completed, we have rebuilt hundreds of devices during this time, and all the equipment has been comprehensively updated, but less than sixty percent of them have been completed according to the current standard, and most of them are still the reason for the downgrade, which can only be regarded as defective products!" ”
"Academician Xie, do you have a complete research plan?" Liu Zhengmin asked with a frown, looking quite tired.
Xie Dong nodded: "There is a plan, but there is still a long way to go to success, so let's do it, Academician Liu, you want to readjust the control room and vacuum room on behalf of Academician Zeng and others!" The entrance and exit need to be strictly controlled, and there must be no problems in this link, if there is a problem, the consequences are unimaginable! ”
Liu Zhengmin naturally knew the problem of entrance and exit, and asked: "We all know the setting of entrance and exit, but all this time, Academician Xie, you have not explained its purpose to us!" We want to know, what is the purpose of having inlets and outlets in the installation? ”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the office raised their heads and looked at Xie Dong in surprise.
During this time, Xie Dong improved a lot of devices, and the specific effects and functions of many devices were not disclosed to them, just giving them a preliminary model drawings for production, so almost everyone was confused.
"Entrances and exits!" Xie Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, elongated his voice, a little meaningful, and didn't seem to want to explain, but after thinking about it, he still said slowly: "It's okay!" Anyway, everyone will know this in the future, I can only tell you one sentence, the follow-up of the controllable problem is not as difficult as imagined, this is the transportation of solar cells! ”
"Solar cells?" Liu Zhengmin and the others were taken aback.
"Maybe it can't be called a battery, I gave it a lofty name, it's called Energy Ark! Of course, there will be a few words in front of it, called Solar Energy Ark! Xie Dong said calmly.
"Solar? Do you want to solve the problem with ordinary solar panels? Liu Zhengmin immediately stood up from the table and said with a shocked face.
"Nonsense!"
"How so?"
Several academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were also dumbfounded.
"Academician Xie, you are really childish this time!" I have always believed that Professor Hao Guangming also stood up and said solemnly: "Everyone has thought about the problem of solar energy, converting light energy and heat energy into electrical energy, but, Academician Xie, have you considered it?" This is a high temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius and may even reach 200 million degrees, as long as anything is sent into it, it will be burned in an instant, and there will be no bones left! Not to mention things like batteries, if they are fed in, they are very likely to cause a large-scale explosion! Once the 100 million degree of nuclear fusion explodes, everything within a radius of ten miles may be burned, leaving no people or animals behind. Have you imagined the consequences? ”
"It's just nonsense!"
"Feeding a battery into the core is like dancing on a tightrope, it's impossible!"
"Academician Xie, you are so bold!"
