Chapter 1501 has benefited a lot

At a quarter past four o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of the Materials Research Institute, Tesla was in the main meeting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After explaining the key points of the research of superconducting materials, his eyes swept over the faces of more than 500 scientific researchers in the audience, and he said solemnly:

"In addition to the research on superconducting materials that I have entrusted to you, the research on integrated circuit miniaturization technology and solar cells in cooperation with the Institute of Computers must also continue to be deepened. According to my calculations, the limit of the photoelectric conversion rate is almost between 20 and 25 percent, and we should not be complacent about the current 12 to 13 percent conversion rate, there are still many areas where we need to improve. In the past few days, when I summarized the research and development ideas of sending coils to the sky, I suddenly realized that we should not focus on a certain aspect in our research, in fact, when a road does not work, we can consider changing directions, conducting research from other aspects, and bypassing through the progress of related science and technology.

"In addition, I have taken note of the scientific and technological progress in the last decade, and I have found that there are many breakthroughs in materials science, such as the effect of the deflection of liquid crystals under the influence of electromagnetic influences and their use as display functions, image sensor technology closely related to semiconductors, and the large-scale industrial production of titanium and titanium alloys. The continuous development of materials science is the basis for ensuring the progress of other research departments, and you have a long way to go! ”

Subsequently, in the warm applause, Tesla announced the dismissal of the meeting, and just returned to the office to sit down, he saw An Yi arrive accompanied by Gong Qian and Ding Molan, got up to greet him, and was pleasantly surprised:

"Dear Ann, how did you know I was looking for you? I'm worried about the work in my hand, and I can't do without it for a moment, I didn't expect you to come like this, is this the Chinese saying 'the heart has a clear mind'? ”

After An Yi hugged Tesla warmly, he looked directly into Tesla's eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Nikolai, this word is not used like this, it is generally used for the private relationship between men and women to say 'the heart has a soul', we call it 'the hero sees the same', haha." I've heard that you have a new solution for sending large coils weighing tens or even hundreds of tons into space, so I'm here to hear about it and help you solve practical problems by the way! ”

Tesla was very happy when he heard An Yi call himself "Uncle Nikolai", squeezed his eyes at Ding Molan, who was pretty, and pulled An Yi to the sofa and sat down, and couldn't wait to say:

"I now have two solutions, one of which is to use superconductor materials to make super-strong coils, generate an incomparably strong magnetic field, catapult objects into space, but to research a new type of material and put it into practical use, it is by no means a day's work, and my research can not stop for a moment, so there is a second plan - that is, under the guarantee of sufficient power, the constant guide projection rail, which is actually a kind of coil use, by electromagnetic force to push the object in the orbit at high speed, as long as the projection track is long enough, The resulting velocity is high enough to break free from the gravitational pull of the Earth and send our large coils into the sky, and I did the calculations on the computer, and in this way, there is no problem carrying an object weighing hundreds of tons, which is not at all comparable to the pitiful carrying capacity of a rocket. This will be the top priority of our R&D in the future. ”

Although An Yi doesn't know the principle of science and technology, he knows that since Tesla is so sure, there must be hope for it to be realized, and it is not just a simple castle in the air.

Now, through Tesla's research on rockets, the group's technological content has been improved by several levels, so what kind of surprises will it bring through the research on the constant projection technology? Therefore, An Yi did not hesitate and immediately said: "Uncle Nikolai, you can do it according to your ideas!" Come on, I know you're strapped for money, get your funding application report and I'll sign it for you now! You can rest assured, I dare not guarantee the rest, I will be satisfied with the R&D funds, and I have absolute trust in your vision. ”

Tesla's heart was warm, he clearly knew that now that the global economy has fallen into a new round of downturn, countries can suddenly invest 50 million US dollars in ethereal scientific and technological research without any guarantees and promises, only An Yi is alone. Tesla didn't say anything grateful, and immediately asked the staff to bring the report, and after An Yi signed it, he said to An Yi seriously:

"Ann, don't worry, I will use every penny you give, and I will never spend it indiscriminately, or it won't be long before you see the results!"

An Yi pretended to be angry and waved his hand: "Uncle Nikolai, I have never doubted your ability, don't say this kind of outside words in the future, we are now a family, aren't we?" ”

Tesla glanced at the shy Ding Molan, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, we are now a family, don't talk about two families, haha!" It's funny to think about, I'm about to have a baby, I wonder if the little ones will think their dad is amazing when they have a heroic godbrother-in-law like you? ”

An Yi couldn't help but wonder, he didn't expect Tesla to have such a funny and humorous side, and said with a smile: "Their dad is amazing, but it's not because they have a godbrother-in-law like me, but because their dad himself is the greatest inventor and scientist in the world!" By the way, Uncle Nikolai, what is the unit of magnetic flux density you use when making solenoid coils? ”

"Webb/sqm, what's wrong?" Tesla asked, confused.

"Of course not!" An Yi shook his head: "It's too troublesome to describe it like this, so let's just set a unit to describe the magnetic flux density." I think, 1 Weber/square meter, let's call him 1 Tesla, what do you think? ”

Tesla was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Okay, very good!" It sounds very good, in the future, a one-meter-long wire perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, through a current of one amperere, is subjected to the force of the magnetic field for one Newton, and the magnetic induction intensity at the place where the energized wire is located is one Tesla. ”

Speaking of this, Tesla looked at An Yi with a solemn face: "An, electromagnetic projection research needs to use a lot of electrical energy, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics has to speed up the construction progress, do you think it is possible to establish a project now and invest in the construction of a practical reactor?" Professor Femi, an Italian who came to China last month, made a special trip to visit me in Syria, and I felt that his thinking was very clear, and his research on thermodynamics and neutron physics was very deep, and he might be a great help for us to develop nuclear power.

"Ann, I know you're also looking forward to the use of nuclear energy, I've been in Syria for more than four years, and before that, you sent a large number of students to Marie Curie's laboratory to study, and the history of hoarding uranium ore can be traced back to five years ago. Various Chinese consortia, under various names, purchased crushed and screened crystalline uranium ore from South Africa, Australia, Canada and other places, and stored it in the fully enclosed and radiation-proof strategic reserve warehouses in Syria and southern Yunnan, with an annual purchase quantity of up to 100,000 tons, and since three years ago, the annual purchase volume has been as high as 500,000 tons, and 2.5 million US dollars are paid for this every year! Ann, I'm amazed at your vision, and I think you're running out of a lot of uranium deposits in the world, except for bituminous uranium, which is more difficult to mine. ”

An Yi smiled disguisedly, scratched his head and said: "I love to be greedy, when I command operations to clean up the battlefield, our officers and soldiers will not even let go of small items such as shoes and buttons. When I heard that the yellow crystal ore found in the surrounding areas of copper ore, iron ore and other mineral deposits was only sold for four dollars a ton, I thought that if I didn't buy it for nothing, I didn't want to buy it for nothing, although I haven't found its practical application value, it doesn't mean that I won't know it in the future, just as Rockefeller didn't know the real use of oil when he was selling oil, and he began to purchase it all over the world with the psychology of hoarding. How did I know that this ore crystal is uranium ore, and now I still hold a cold sweat when I think about it, if it weren't for the correct storage measures we have taken, I don't know how many people's health will be harmed by the terrible radiation and rays! ”

On the side, Gong Qian interjected: "I also complained to him about this, saying that the purchase of these crystal powders, which can be used neither for metal smelting nor for the energy industry, is completely squeezing out our insufficient development funds, and these transactions should be stopped in time, but he didn't listen." Since last year, when the Jews migrated and established a nuclear physics laboratory, we have figured out that these uranium crystals, which have a natural abundance of 0.72%, are an extremely precious strategic resource. ”

Seeing An Yi smiling and not answering, Tesla shrugged noncommittally:

"Maybe it's called God bless the good Samaritan! At present, the Institute of Nuclear Physics is focusing on the follow-up treatment method of uranium ore crystal powder, which is to dissolve it in nitric acid to produce uranium nitrate solution. After extraction and purification, uranium nitrate reacts with ammonia to form ammonium diurarate, which is then hydroreduced to obtain uranium dioxide, and then reacts with hydrofluoric acid to form uranium tetrafluoride. Uranium tetrafluoride is oxidized with fluorine to produce uranium hexafluoride. After these treatments, gas centrifuges and electromagnetic separation equipment are used to enrich and refine uranium and plutonium-239, and then enter the final stage of nuclear power production. ”

An Yi was very surprised: "How much electricity does it take to refine uranium and plutonium-239 with a concentration of 99%?" At our electromagnetic separation plant in the mountainous area of Laizhou City, Honghe Province, in the northwestern part of South China, only two supporting thermal power plants are in operation, and three are undergoing emergency construction. ”

Tesla was a little curious: "An, who told you that you need to use uranium and plutonium-239 with a concentration of 99% to develop nuclear power?" In fact, only 3~5% low-enriched uranium needs to be used! The difficulty of producing nuclear power raw materials is very, very low, and the energy required is not too much gas centrifuge and electromagnetic separation equipment, and the progress should be very fast. In fact, as early as last August, when a group of Jewish scientists came to visit me in Syria, I proposed to give priority to the development of nuclear reactors, and then use the reactors to power the reactors to speed up the rate of uranium refining and enrichment, and to produce plutonium. By doing this step-by-step process rather than skipping the reactor to develop nuclear weapons first, we can maximize our benefits by eliminating the biggest part of our nuclear physics research, which is the energy consumption of purifying and refining uranium. ”

An Yi's face blushed for a while, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous frivolity. Think about the way I suggested to those Jewish nuclear physicists last October about various methods of refining uranium-235 and plutonium-239, and at that time I thought that it was all my own guidance that brought Syria's nuclear physics research and development on a high-speed track.

Tesla didn't notice An Yi's abnormality, and continued to talk eloquently: "Recently, Fritz, Meitner, Szilard, Bohr, Planck, and Born from the Institute of Quantum Mechanics and the Institute of Nuclear Physics have often flown to Syria to discuss with me the matter of rational planning and development of nuclear energy. A second generation of practical reactors was developed, and more centrifuges were driven to refine weapons-grade uranium and plutonium.

"In this case, our energy consumption is very small in the beginning, and although the energy consumption is increased in the later stage, the energy consumed is enriched uranium in the reactor instead of hydropower, oil or coal, so the cost is not large, but the premise is that you have to abandon the plan to give priority to the development of nuclear weapons."

An Yi nodded hurriedly: "That's nature!" Uncle Nikolai, this is the best way to study nuclear weapons, and we are not in a hurry to need nuclear weapons, so why not do it? With a small investment, quick results, low cost and manpower consumption, the ability to make full use of uranium energy and collect data incidentally, and the powerful computing power of our ever-evolving computers, I can't think of a better way to do it! ”

Tesla smiled with satisfaction: "It's good if you agree, it seems that I have to relocate my catapult test site to Laizhou City in South China to make full use of the advantages of nuclear power to conduct my experiments." I think it's entirely possible to conduct the first mass projector experiment by June, as long as everything is in place!

"In the meantime, I am going to give a good look at Einstein's theory of impacted radiation twenty-two years ago, which states that a particle of matter in a high-energy state will be transformed into a low-energy state when it is acted upon by a photon whose energy is equal to the energy difference between the two energy levels, and a second photon will be generated, which will be emitted at the same time as the first photon, and the light output of this radiation will be amplified, and it is coherent light, that is, if multiple photons emit in exactly the same direction, frequency, phase, and polarization, as I proposed fourteen years ago." The 'dead light' theory is similar and easier to implement. I already have a plan in mind, and I estimate that it will take three or four months to come up with the first light stimulated emission instrument. ”

"Light stimulated?" An Yi muttered for a moment in his mouth, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "Is light stimulated by stimulated emission a laser?" ”

"Lasers?"

Tesla checked his Chinese in English in his head, and nodded: "It should be called that...... Dear Ann, I think I'm going to have to go into retreat for a while, and I'm going to think about what I can do to get the light stimulated to the best effect. At present, our ranging in space, which is generally estimated by radar and magnetoelectric waves, is extremely inaccurate, but it is much better with this light, so we have to go all out. ”

An Yi knew that Tesla was issuing an eviction order, so he stood up with a smile and politely said goodbye. Tesla didn't say anything to save him, and after instructing Ding Molan to send off the guest, he returned to the computer and began to calculate a large amount of data.

In the corridor of the rocket laboratory, An Yi was in an extremely happy mood. This time he communicated with Tesla, he felt that he benefited a lot, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and found that it was still early, so he wanted to visit various laboratories to cheer up the scientific researchers.

At this time, Shen Fengdao appeared at the end of the corridor, his steps hurried, and his face was eager. An Yi's heart sank, knowing that there was an urgent matter again, and immediately strode to catch up.
