Chapter Development of a nuclear fusion engine

Gao Yang and the government have reached an agreement to help the country improve its naval strength, transforming the Waglian aircraft carrier, which is not yet combat-ready, into a supercarrier with super combat effectiveness, providing security for the country's 4.73 million square kilometers of sea area. The country is willing to give up the benefits brought by PetroChina and Sinopec to support the production of Gaoyang's solar-powered smart cars.

This agreement is understandable, since the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, the weak navy almost did not win the war, and was bombarded by the imperialist ships, bringing about a century of humiliation. It has always been one of the country's strategic goals to develop a strong navy to protect our country, but unfortunately, due to the country's technological blockade, the country is unable to import the leading science and technology and sophisticated weapons of developed countries, and its own country's weapons research and development foundation is relatively weak, resulting in the fact that the navy's strength is still weak until now. If Gao Yang really changes all this, it will be of great significance to the country, and everything is not measured by money and energy.

The aircraft carrier is a behemoth, the largest weapon in human history, the heaviest Nimitz aircraft carrier in the United States reaches 100,000 tons, that is, 100 million kilograms, to make the engine drive such a heavy thing, it needs strong scientific and technological strength.

The new generation of ships in the United States, powered by nuclear reactors, can make the aircraft carrier run for 50 years by adding nuclear fuel at a time. And the aircraft carrier of China is still burning diesel. The aircraft carrier of the United States uses electromagnetic catapult fighters, while the aircraft carrier of China still has to glide and take off, and the problem of steam catapult has not even been solved. Even the steel plate of the deck is much worse than that of foreign countries, there is a generation gap between the two types of aircraft carriers, and even foreign media ridiculed the Chinese Waglian aircraft carrier, which is not a real aircraft carrier, but just a larger ship.

Huaxia purchased abandoned aircraft carriers from abroad and transformed them into Waglian aircraft carriers, in order to explore the technology of manufacturing aircraft carriers, and finally build aircraft carriers by themselves to strengthen the navy. But the aircraft carrier is a huge weapon system, and it is extremely difficult to develop, but fortunately, everything can now be handed over to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang returned to Tianyang City and went straight into the base he had built, which was already full of machines of all kinds after months of renovation and billions of dollars. It became a science and technology base in Gaoyang, a private warehouse.

Among the bases, dozens of scientific research rooms have been half completed. Gao Yang drilled into a closed nano laboratory, about 3,000 square meters in size, with two nano production lines for Gao Yang to experiment and research.

The heavy electronic door of the laboratory was locked, and after checking the iris, fingerprints, voices, and passwords, the scanning laser stopped, and Gao Yang entered the laboratory. 『』

In the laboratory, Gao Yang sat down, his hand knocked on the crystal table, Gao Yang thought about it, now Gao Yang has two super engine schemes, the first plan is to study antimatter engines, the future world, all space battleships, all spaceships, their power systems, are antimatter engines.

The antimatter annihilation engine can provide infinite energy, and can even allow the warship to cruise at 94% of the speed of light, if you have an antimatter engine, humans can build a super battleship and fly from the earth to Mars in only 24 hours.

But before developing an antimatter engine, antimatter must be created, this antimatter is very scary, they are composed of antimatter particles, combined with matter, will release gamma rays, that is, antimatter, and any matter together, will produce a big explosion, energy than the power of the hydrogen bomb I don't know how many times. This substance has the terrible power to destroy the planet.

In the science fiction "Doomsday Escape: Earth Destruction", the hero and heroine, with the help of scientists from Fermi National Laboratory, successfully blew up the neutron star that crashed into the Antarctic spacecraft base with an intercontinental missile carrying 35 grams of antimatter, which had been bombarded indiscriminately by thousands of nuclear bombs but was unharmed.

Now the world's Xia University of Science and Technology has cooperated with scientists in the United States to discover the heaviest antimatter particle to date - antihelium 4. On June 5, 2011, CERN researchers announced that they had successfully grabbed the antihydrogen atom for more than 16 minutes.

Antimatter is the final level of energy, which releases energy with 100% efficiency (the chance of nuclear fission is 1.5%). Antimatter does not pollute and does not produce radiation, and a small drop of antimatter can sustain the kinetic energy of the entire day of New York.

But antimatter is so unstable that it can turn anything it touches into ashes, not even air. Just one gram of antimatter is equivalent to the energy of a 200,000-ton nuclear bomb, which is more than 2,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. If antimatter is not controlled, it can destroy the entire earth in an instant, and antimatter is the most powerful energy source known to mankind.

So far, all the research of mankind is still stopping at the discovery of antimatter, not to mention how to extract antimatter particles, use antimatter, and make antimatter into engines is just a concept.

Gao Yang has the super technological knowledge of the future, and after three hundred years, antimatter technology has matured, and Gao Yang is the precursor of this technology. Technology is not a problem for Gao Yang, the problem is the level of materials and technology, without super materials, without a strong scientific and technological foundation, Gao Yang cannot make antimatter weapons, antimatter engines. 『』

After thinking for a while, Gao Yang finally decided to start developing antimatter, but it is impossible to use antimatter engines for aircraft carriers, and the only option is to use 'nuclear fusion engines'.

Nuclear fusion is also a super-energy, second only to antimatter.

Nuclear fusion is a form of nuclear reaction in which atoms with small masses, such as deuterium and tritium, polymerize with each other under certain conditions (such as ultra-high temperature and high pressure) to produce neutrons and helium-4, accompanied by the release of huge amounts of energy.

The fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction can be extracted from seawater from the isotope deuterium, the isotope deuterium. The 30 grams of deuterium contained in every 1 liter of seawater, if extracted, undergo a complete fusion reaction, which can release the same energy as 300 liters of gasoline when burned. Based on this calculation, based on the current level of world energy consumption and seawater stocks, nuclear fusion energy can be used by humans for hundreds of millions, if not billions.

The nuclear fusion engine, for Gao Yang, is the best choice at present, this kind of engine, if realized, for mankind, is almost a great revolution.

In Gao Yang's memory, there is now a genius boy in the United States, his name is Taylor. Wilson, at the age of 14, built the core of a miniature nuclear reactor in the laboratory of Davidson College, becoming the 32nd and youngest individual in the world to complete nuclear fusion. 『』

Mi Guo is giving this genius boy money to help him research nuclear fusion, but for Gao Yang, this 17-year-old genius is just a baby in front of him, and the technology of nuclear fusion is so powerful and complex that it is enough for this genius to study to death, and he may only understand one-tenth of it.

Gao Yang has complete nuclear fusion technology, but it needs a super igniter to ignite the nuclear material. Fusion with an atomic bomb can only cause a hydrogen bomb to explode, but it is not suitable for fusion generators, because the engine does not need a staggering explosion force, but needs a slow-release of electricity.

Regarding the 'ignition' problem of nuclear fusion, the development of laser technology has made it possible to solve the 'ignition' problem of controlled nuclear fusion. Currently, the world's largest laser output is 100 trillion watts, enough to 'ignite' nuclear fusion. However, such a high-power laser output is enough to cut off power in many cities.

In addition to lasers, the 'ignition' temperature can also be achieved by using the ultra-high microwave heating method. At present, China, the United States, Russia, Japan, and Western European countries have invested $10 billion in the study of nuclear fusion, and Huaxia has also joined the research of this technology with 4 billion yuan of equipment. The purpose of this technology is to solve the energy problem at its root.

And Gao Yang will be ahead of all countries and throw them off for a hundred years.

Gao Yang intends to use a dual ignition method to ensure that the fusion engine can be ignited 100% successfully. Laser technology and microwave technology are just a piece of cake for Gao Yang. Controlling nuclear fusion and keeping his combustion in a controllable range also requires super materials, which is what stumps Gao Yang.

Gaoyang intends to use super plastics, super nanomaterials, and super ceramics as raw materials for nuclear fusion engines.

Plastic can isolate the power supply, no matter how strong the current, it can't burn the plastic, but now the human plastic is too fragile, Gao Yang has developed a super plastic with a hardness of 50 times that of steel and a weight similar to that of ordinary plastics, this plastic can control the super current generated by nuclear fusion, as the internal combustion engine of the nuclear fusion engine, the super current generated by nuclear fusion will be controlled under this material.

When combined with ceramics, the combination of super nanomaterials and ceramics can make individual unit parts for nuclear fusion, which are 100 times harder than toughened, 50 times more heat-resistant than steel, and it will also be insulating, and these super materials will ensure that the engine parts will not heat up, will never rust, and will not be afraid of any chemical corrosion.

The electrical energy generated by nuclear fusion, under the control of these supermaterials, will be obediently converted into kinetic energy, providing a powerful power output for the aircraft carrier.

Gao Yang was unwilling to waste brain cells at the moment, and directly handed over the combination design of materials, the design process of the engine, and the process of producing these super materials to Yan Huang.

Yan Huang stored most of Gao Yang's knowledge concepts, and 95% of the knowledge on the earth, plus 10 trillion computing power and artificial intelligence per second, it began to design these things under Gao Yang's orders, and when designing, Yan Huang would automatically simulate the production and manufacturing of these things, as well as the situation generated during the operation after molding.

The nuclear fusion unit, after Yan Huang spent an hour calculating, already had the perfect solution.

For other super materials, after Yan Huang spent five hours, five super material production lines have been created, from the purchase of raw materials to the development and manufacturing of the machines that make these raw materials, all the processes add up to about 10,000 items.

Gao Yang took the Yan Huang printed out, and the information that was one person tall furrowed. All of this, the technology has been done, and the raw materials can also be transformed into super materials with ordinary materials.

Materials, money, and technology are all difficult for Gao Yang.

What stumps Gao Yang is, where do you find talents? These technologies are all things that are ahead of their time, and even the most powerful scientists of mankind are only researching, where can they find people to produce these things? On his own, he can't accomplish so much work at all.

Gao Yang thought for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "It seems that I can only rely on robots, and I can only use intelligent robots to produce these things, otherwise all the scientists on the earth will be called as workers, and they will not be able to help me produce these things." Only intelligent robots can, as long as they are implanted with chips, these guys can work perfectly. ”
