A solar furnace, as the name suggests, is a controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

The name comes from the fact that the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion.

The principle of controlled nuclear fusion is the same as that of the sun.

The first solar furnace was very large, almost ten meters in diameter.

That's a big deal in a reactor.

Of course, it is not that the solar furnace research team is unable to make the reactor smaller, but the first solar furnace used in the experiment is larger, and it is easier to find out the problems encountered in the experiment and optimize and correct them.

The inner wall of the entire solar furnace was manufactured by Fang Yuan according to the drawings given by the scientific research team, and after it was manufactured, it was modified more than a dozen times to meet the correction requirements of the solar furnace.

In addition to Fang Yuan, there is also a person in the East China Sea who can control strong interaction materials.

This person is naturally Niu Dazhi, so he was also called to the solar furnace development team, and when Fang Yuan was resting, he would take the shift.

In the end, it took seven days to finally complete the manufacture of the first solar furnace.

When Wang Jiuliang ignited the solar furnace reactor, when a high temperature of 200 million degrees erupted in the solar furnace, all the scientific research workers present burst into tears.

Nearly 70 years have passed since the first successful test explosion of the hydrogen bomb in the middle of the last century.

Seventy years ago, mankind mastered nuclear fusion technology and developed nuclear fusion weapons.

However, in the past 70 years, mankind has been trying to control the energy source of nuclear fusion, and it has taken 70 years without success.

Today, the birth of the first solar furnace has finally written this technology into the history of human civilization.

No matter where human beings go in the universe in the future, they will remember that it was this day that made human beings take the first step towards the sea of stars.

Wang Jiuliang stood in front of the solar furnace and spoke to all the scientific research workers with excitement.

"The first solar stove, we did it!" He clenched his fists and shouted.

"We did it!" The crowd echoed in unison.

……

At the same time as the successful development of solar furnaces, the Academy of Military Sciences is also conducting research on a number of solar furnace application projects.

In fact, these projects started very early.

For example, nuclear fusion-powered warships, these projects have been planned as early as the first draft of the solar furnace project, and they are accelerating with the research progress of the solar furnace project.

Therefore, after the successful development of the first solar furnace, the shipyard in the East China Sea has begun to build the first nuclear fusion-powered warship, and only the heart of the power engine is vacated, waiting for the solar furnace to be optimized and adjusted, and then installed in it.

As a scientific researcher at the Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of Military Sciences, Li Guihua has been busy at the Donghai Shipyard in the past few days.

After the successful development of the solar furnace, Li Guihua pulled his daughter to the shipyard to debug the "mechanical heart" for the first nuclear fusion-powered warship.

Fang Zhenguo has risen relatively quickly in the army and has begun to take charge of some more important work.

However, he always thinks about the navy, so even if he does logistics work, he wants to go to the navy.

Therefore, he represents the communication work of the Tokai headquarters and the shipyard and the solar furnace laboratory.

This time, Fang Yuan was fortunate to follow Comrade Fang to visit the first warship that was about to be equipped with a nuclear fusion power engine.

This is a battleship nearly 300 meters long, with a very strong appearance, and it is equipped with the latest carrier-based fighters.

Fang Yuan stood on this nuclear fusion-powered battleship, and suddenly felt a sense of grandeur.

"Captain, why are you here?" When Eve was exchanging feelings with the fusion-powered battleship, she saw Fang Yuan on the deck and stepped forward to say hello.

"You've been transferred here again?" As soon as Fang Yuan saw Eve, he knew that she must have been transferred from the headquarters.

"That's right. It was dragged over by my dad. But I'm glad I'm doing the work, and I'll be able to fit the power heart we've developed into the chest of this big guy right away. ”

Eve said happily, and then proposed, "Why don't I show you the chest of this big one." Eight places were reserved there for the installation of eight hearts. ”

Fang Yuan knew what she meant by chest and heart.

The chest is where the solar stove is installed, and the heart refers to the solar stove.

That's actually quite an apt description.

The heart is the source of blood flow for living beings, like the starting point for all energy.

And the power source of the fusion-powered warship is the solar furnace, which is indeed like the heart.

"Okay. Check it out. ”

Fang Yuan beckoned behind him and shouted, "Old Fang, do you want to go and see the place where the solar furnace is going to be installed?" ”

Fang Zhenguo must be interested, he took the initiative to ask to do this job, just to see the battleship.

This thing is a battleship fan.

Therefore, he immediately quickened his pace and walked over.

So the three of them walked through the deck together and entered the lower deck, and then Eve told Li Guihua and prepared to go down to see the chest cavity of the big guy.

Li Guihua was worried that his daughter would make some kind of moth, and he didn't want to agree.

If only Eve wanted to go down and see it, he would probably just refuse.

However, Fang Zhenguo, the personnel sent by the headquarters, is here, and if he wants to go down to inspect, it will not be easy to stop him.

Therefore, he had to accompany him down.

Li Guihua led the way in front, led the three of them down to the lowest floor, and entered the engine position.

"This is it, the big one's chest, this, this, and this ......"

Eve pointed to the eight positions, counted them one by one, and said, "These eight, when the time comes, eight solar furnaces will be installed to provide power for this big guy." ”

Fang Zhenguo walked up, stretched out his hand and rubbed it a few times, and asked, "Look at this space, it's only more than two meters, can the solar furnace be so small?" ”

He was in charge of liaison between the headquarters, the shipyard and the solar furnace research team, so he went to see the solar furnace.

The solar stove in the lab was the size of a conference hall and couldn't fit in it.

Li Guihua explained: "We discussed it with the research team of the solar furnace, and this is the size they gave. They are confident that they will be able to shrink the solar furnace to such a large size as soon as possible, in fact, the data they give is even smaller.

"We were worried that the process might have unforeseen challenges, so we reserved a little more space than the data."

"If that's the case, that's good. How much more energy does a solar furnace provide than nuclear fission? Fang Zhenguo asked again.

Although he is a fan of battleships, he doesn't know much about this kind of more professional data problem.

"Four times, nuclear fusion is about four times stronger than nuclear fission. In fact, with only two solar furnaces installed, it would be able to withstand the current nuclear-powered warships. However, we have higher requirements and goals, so we go directly to the eight solar furnaces. Li Guihua replied.
