Chapter 416: Wan Yuanxi's shock
"This is the data center, where all the experimental materials of the institute will be placed. The authority of Academician Wan can be retrieved and viewed here. ”
Chen Mo took Wan Yuanxi into the data center of the research institute.
The data center is still a metallic and minimalist futuristic technology style. In addition to robots on duty 24 hours a day, there are various cameras and sensors.
Inside the thick tempered glass wall is the host of the data center, and without Chen Mo's authorization, outsiders cannot get close to the host.
The computer in the laboratory is connected to the host here, and it is necessary to copy the data and view the highest level of technical data of the institute, and all of them have to enter this laboratory. Moreover, it is not allowed to bring any electronic devices when entering here, and the security level of technical data is no lower than that of any research institute in the world.
"Then I'll get some information first."
Wan Yuanxi was a little impatient, and under Chen Mo's prompting, he began to check the materials of Chen Mo's research. Even if it's him, he only has the permission to view it, and can't copy it.
Since the last time he saw Chen Mo's simulation experiment data, he has never forgotten this information.
If successful, technologies that theoretically enable controlled fusion energy output could change the history of human energy.
Although they don't think that Chen Mo will be able to develop it in a short period of time, it involves new nuclear fusion technology.
Nowadays, the research of tokamak devices has encountered a bottleneck, and Chen Mo's theoretical research may be a new direction, even if Chen Mo's theory is not successful, some places may be the stones of other mountains.
After calling up Chen Mo's theoretical materials, Wan Yuanxi indulged in them, staring intently at every sentence and formula of the theory.
"This ...... This ......"
The more Wan Yuanxi looked at it, the more solemn his expression became.
There are tens of thousands of simulation experiments, and the data of each simulation experiment is much more complete than the data given to them at the beginning. Now he found that the data given to them by Chen Mo was just the tip of the iceberg. Now seeing the complete theory, he was shocked.
This set of theories shows that in the [Star Ring] reactor, tritium self-sustaining can be achieved.
In the fusion reaction, tritium will have problems such as retention and cannot participate in the fusion reaction, which leads to a smaller and smaller amount of tritium in the reactor, and finally the steady-state operation of the reactor cannot be maintained, so that the fusion reaction is terminated. Therefore, the problem of tritium self-sustaining has always been one of the bottleneck technologies of controlled nuclear fusion.
Chen Mo's controlled fusion theory solves the problem of tritium self-sustaining.
Although it is only a theory and not a practice, I have to say that there is such a possibility.
At present, the industrial preparation of 'tritium' is to use reactor neutrons, bombard lithium fluoride, lithium carbonate and lithium-magnesium alloy and other targets to produce tritium, and then use thermal diffusion method to enrich tritium.
In addition to the artificial preparation of tritium, there is also tritium in nature, which is produced by the bombardment of deuterium nuclei by high-energy neutrons carried by cosmic rays.
The reaction of light nuclear fusion is: deuterium (2D) + tritium (3T) - helium (He) + neutron (n) + a large amount of energy.
Every deuterium-tritium fusion produces a neutron n with an energy of 14 MeV.
This data shows that under the extremely strong magnetic field, the high-energy neutron n produced by the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction bombards the deuterium, thereby producing tritium, making it possible to circulate tritium in the reactor.
Since a fusion reaction produces only one neutron, there is no need to worry about an uncontrolled chain reaction and no need to find a way to control the number of neutrons, which is one of the reasons why nuclear fusion technology is safer than nuclear fission technology. Even if some neutrons cannot hit the deuterium atom, only some 'tritium' needs to be filled at the right time, and the consumption of tritium will be greatly reduced.
This idea has been thought of by their researchers in research, but there has been no technical solution. Now in Chen Mo's theory, [Star Ring] can solve the theoretical basis of this problem.
If possible, it means that one of the core challenges of controlled nuclear fusion has been solved.
However, Wan Yuanxi felt a little uncomfortable next.
Because only the theory of solving tritium self-sustaining and the specific technical scheme are recorded in the data, they do not appear in the data. The technical data of the entire device of [Star Ring] is not in the data.
"Is there any technology related to tritium self-sustaining?" Wan Yuanxi asked.
"The technology related to tritium self-sustaining is not here, it is with us. This is theoretical information, which can be shared with the researchers of the nuclear energy group, and the technology of the nuclear energy group needs to be developed by the researchers within the group, and it is shared by both sides, and those technologies are not. At that time, the core components of [Star Ring] in this regard, the Marching Ant Group will produce and provide them. Chen Mo said.
The core components of [Star Ring] involve the materials and technology of the deflector, as well as the superconductor material at room temperature, and the tritium self-sustaining technology. It is impossible to unconditionally put these technologies in the nuclear energy group, and he must also have reservations.
Otherwise, in the future, the Academy of Sciences will get those skills and work alone, and he will regret it too late.
"In other words, the problem of tritium self-sustaining has been solved theoretically?" Wan Yuanxi didn't think too much, what he cared about was whether this technology was successful.
"Yes, you only need to build a [Star Ring] to conduct experiments to verify whether the technology is feasible."
"Great."
Wan Yuanxi laughed in surprise, he had spent most of his life in the research of nuclear fusion, and now he saw the dawn, even if it was only theoretical, he was still happy.
With his decades of experience, those theoretical formulas can be seen at a glance that there is no falsehood.
In addition, in Chen Mo's simulation experiments, a plasma turbulence model has been established. This turbulence model is more convincing than the theoretical data.
The plasma motion in a tokamak device is very unstable, and scientists cannot understand these instabilities well, so there has been no way to improve the design of the tokamak device to suppress these instabilities.
With a turbulence model of plasma, even if it is simulated, this is great news.
Originally, he still had some doubts about whether Chen Mo could develop nuclear fusion technology, but now that he saw this theory, his doubts were all dispelled.
"Academician Chen, I have something I want to ask."
"You say."
"I want to make a copy of these theoretical materials back to the Academy of Sciences in Hui Province? I don't know if it's okay? This theory will certainly be of great help to the study of controlled nuclear fusion. Wan Yuanxi asked with some expectation.
"Yes, these theories are shared, but be warned in advance, these theories should not be published as papers." Chen Mo said.
"We definitely understand that." Wan Yuanxi was overjoyed, he didn't expect Chen Mo to be so refreshing.
"Can the plasma turbulence model be used?"
"This won't work." Chen Mo shook his head: "They want to see the turbulence model of the plasma, I can let them join the team, I just authorize them to view it, and the data cannot be copied and transmitted." ”
Hearing this answer, Wan Yuanxi felt a little regretful and didn't say anything. That's a key technology, and it's normal for Chen Mo not to pass it on, Chen Mo has given them enough.
"Would you like to go to your lab first?"
"Okay."
Looking at the information on the computer screen, Wan Yuanxi was a little reluctant.
Even if it is just a cursory look, it has already given him a lot of surprises, and if you dig deeper, there will definitely be even greater surprises. But now that I'm just here, I have a lot of time to study in the future, and I'm not in a hurry.
On the evening of the same day, Wan Yuanxi got Chen Mo's permission to make a copy of the information on the controlled fusion theory, and contacted Li Chengzhi to send it back to the Hui Provincial Academy of Sciences.
