Chapter 394: Prototype

After Huang Haojie read it carefully, he couldn't help but applaud Liu Jingguan's "neutron squeezing method".

"Very constructive thoughts."

"Mindfulness is refining this solution, and we hope to make a prototype in this way." Fei Anming hurriedly said.

"Yes, the condensed matter shield generator and NN-8-1 materials can be customized to Supernova Industries, and they are now responsible for the production of these things." Huang Haojie nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Chairman." Fei Anming said excitedly.

"I congratulate you on your early success in developing a neutron press." Huang Haojie is also very happy, sure enough, human beings have infinite possibilities, and they can't underestimate the people of the world.

After the end of the holographic communication.

Fei Anming hurriedly told Liu Jingguan the good news.

"Wait and see, the chairman has approved us to use the neutron squeezing method to develop nuclear fusion power generation."

"Great." Liu Jingguan also became excited.

Fei Anming walked back and forth in the office for a few steps, then stopped and said, "In this way, let's stop the improvement of the tokamak device and gather the researchers in the institute to make every effort to perfect the neutron squeezing method." ”

"I agree that if the neutron squeezing method is successful, the tokamak device will be useless."

The resolute Fei Anming immediately summoned all the researchers and engineers of the Qinling Plasma Research Institute.

Zhang Huaide, who was discussing with a large group of researchers and engineers how to improve the shield arrangement, suddenly received a notice from Fei Anming, asking him to take all the researchers and engineers to the conference room for a meeting.

Despite his bewilderment, he led the person to the conference room.

"Wilder, you've arrived too." Yang Guangming, who was in charge of plasma control research, came up to say hello.

"Old Yang, do you know what's going on? It seems that all the researchers in the institute have arrived. Zhang Huaide asked in surprise.

Yang Guangming spread his hands and replied: "I'm also confused. ”

After a while, everyone arrived, Fei Anming glanced at the conference room, and then said:

"Today's sudden meeting, the main thing that needs to be announced is that Chief Engineer Liu has invented a new way of nuclear fusion power generation, and we have decided to suspend the improvement of the tokamak device and fully promote the neutron squeezing method."

"What? Suspend the tokamak device? Wouldn't it be too arbitrary to do so? Zhang Huaide frowned and said.

"I know there must be doubts in everyone's minds." After Fei Anming finished speaking, he turned his head to Liu Jingguan and said:

"Chief Engineer Liu, you will send the information to you, and then introduce to you the technical principle of the neutron pressing method."

Liu Jingguan nodded, and he first sent the information of the neutron squeezing method to everyone present: "Everyone take a look, and I will explain it in ten minutes." ”

The people who received the information opened the holographic display screen and studied it carefully.

They all wanted to know what this neutron squeezing method was, and why Fei Anming and Liu Jingguan could choose to abandon the mature tokamak device.

Zhang Huaide calmly flipped through the pages, and the more he looked at him, the more excited he became, this neutron squeezing method is theoretically achievable.

If they can successfully complete the prototype test, the potential of this neutron press is even greater, because it is not very difficult to achieve miniaturization.

Of course, all this is his current speculation, to verify this neutron squeezing method, it is essential to make a prototype, otherwise no matter how good the data on paper is, how perfect the model is, it will be useless.

Others either had their eyes lit up, or they just talked about it from ear to ear.

"When the time comes, I will introduce the technical principle of this neutron squeezing method...... Liu Jingguan roughly explained the neutron squeezing method.

With Liu Jingguan's explanation, some people who had questions also put out their questions, and Liu Jingguan answered them one by one, the truth became clearer and clearer the more they argued, and everyone was convinced.

"I agree to suspend the tokamak." Zhang Huaide said.

"I also agree to test the neutron squeeze method." Yang Guangming also nodded and said.

"Agreed."

“……”

Everyone agreed to build a prototype using neutron squeezing to test whether it was feasible.

If it works, the tokamak really doesn't have to work, and if it doesn't, it's not too late for them to go back to the tokamak.

Zhang Huaide thought for a while and said: "Fei Suo, Chief Engineer Liu, I think that the 16 condensed matter shield generators on the tokamak ring vacuum pipeline can be removed and transformed to make a neutron press." ”

"Yes, Huaide, you and Chief Engineer Liu will work together to transform these condensed matter shield generators, and we will cooperate with you." Fei Anming agreed to the renovation plan.

The excited Qinling Plasma Research Institute quickly dismantled the 16 condensed matter shield generators.

After emptying a large laboratory, Zhang Huaide and Liu Jingguan led people and began to transform these condensed matter shield generators.

The NN-8-1 material is very peculiar, after the transformation from the unstable state of NN-8 to the stable state of NN-8-1, the same batch of NN-8-1 material will be fused together and become inseparable.

However, different batches of NN-8-1 materials will not fuse together, only in the active state, they will fuse, and once the active state stops, they will go back to their respective homes.

In fact, this characteristic is derived from the integrity of NN-8-1 material, so to speak, the same batch of NN-8-1 material as a whole is an element.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that they can maintain stability, and have the characteristics of temporary integration and relative independence.

The transformation work is in full swing, and Zhang Huaide and others have successfully transformed 8 of the condensed matter shield generators.

Four of them were converted into a condensed vacuum chamber, which was oval-shaped.

The other 4 condensed matter shield generators are converted into compression hammers for rapid filling of the vacuum chamber with NN-8-1.

It took more than a week to complete the renovation project.

The time came to February 1, 2020, today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the first day of work.

However, the people of the Qinling Plasma Research Institute had a full and excited Spring Festival.

In a large laboratory at the Qinling Plasma Research Institute, a strange-looking machine is placed in the middle, which is the prototype of a neutron press modified by Zhang Huaide, Liu Jingguan and others.

The prototype is shaped like a rugby ball sandwiched between two barbell plates, and the translucent rugby ball is shaped like a vacuum chamber made of materials used to make vacuum railway pipes.

This outer vacuum chamber is necessary, otherwise the condensed state vacuum chamber cannot be formed.

"Fei Suo, the prototype of the neutron press has been completed, and now the reaction material is missing." Liu Jingguan said while holding the document.

took the document and flipped through it, Fei Anming didn't expect Liu Jingguan and the others to move so fast.

"I'll go prepare the reaction materials right away."

"Then please."

"You're welcome."

The reason why they said to prepare the reaction material was DT, which is deuterium tritium, for the first time they tested the preparation.

Deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen, and the heavy water we generally say is it, which can be extracted by multiple electrolytic distillation, and the heavy water factory of the Galaxy Consortium has production, and the ex-factory price of one kilogram is about 60,000 Martian coins.

Tritium is another isotope of hydrogen, generally known as super-heavy water is it, the natural abundance of this thing is very small, can only rely on artificial synthesis, generally use neutron bombardment lithium to make tritin.
