Chapter 268: A Roadblock

The biggest thing these people are to develop nuclear weapons from scratch in a country, and the nuclear weapons they have developed are a little worse than the three superpowers in fact, after all, the superpowers are superpowers after all, and they are not comparable to a few of them, after all, although they are not powerful, they have not reached the level of Einstein and other scientists, but they are already very powerful, and some of the nuclear weapons they have developed are even more powerful than the nuclear weapons of some nuclear countries in the world. The capabilities of all these scientists should not be underestimated.

The research team here is so huge, all the instruments and other equipment in the laboratories here are also the world's top, there are many instruments that are unique to Zhu Lei's laboratory, and they cannot be seen in the laboratories in other places, and even the official top laboratories of the Ming Empire do not have such equipment, so the cost of these special experimental equipment is also very expensive, but as equipment for nuclear physics experiments, even if the cost is expensive, Zhu Lei can only grit his teeth and invest.

After all, Zhu Lei is not the official government of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the government has considered too many things, and the laboratory cannot have only such a one, so it is impossible to invest like Zhu Lei regardless of the cost, after all, Zhu Lei invested in the laboratory is personally invested, although the official allocation of the Ming Empire for this laboratory every year is also a lot, but such a small amount of funds is not enough for this laboratory to maintain the most basic expenses of daily life, let alone research. So the other parts were filled in by Zhu Lei's own dead people, after all, this laboratory still belongs to Zhu Lei's military factory.

The laboratory is not only studying nuclear fusion, but also nuclear fission, and the two parts are divided into weapons and energy research.

Nuclear fission technology is relatively much simpler than nuclear fusion technology, after all, the conditions required for nuclear fission are very few, and some can even be produced in a natural environment, but nuclear fusion technology is different, in Zhu Lei's previous life and this life, the country did not have an atomic bomb before it could make a hydrogen bomb, that is to say, the hydrogen bomb was developed on the basis of the atomic bomb, although the two technologies are different, but this cannot be denied.

After arriving, Zhu Lei couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked into the nuclear weapons research room, nuclear weapons are also divided into two types, namely atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, the atomic bomb uses nuclear fission technology, and the hydrogen bomb uses nuclear fusion technology.

However, although both technologies are nuclear technologies, the differences between the two technologies are also very large, and the power of nuclear weapons created by the two technologies is also very different.

However, as a weapon used in the interstellar world, it must be as powerful as possible, so the most suitable must be the hydrogen bomb, after all, the power of the atomic bomb in the interstellar war is still a little smaller, for example, most of the hydrogen bombs used in the previous Zhu Lei and Ruhr civilization wars were hydrogen bombs.

Although it is not difficult to manufacture hydrogen bombs with the technology of the Ming Empire now, it is very difficult to improve it when the yield of nuclear weapons reaches about 100 million tons with the existing technology of mankind, after all, even if the nuclear weapons produced by ordinary means are powerful, there is still a limit, and the maximum power of the nuclear bombs produced by the Ming Empire and all the countries on the earth before is about 100 million tons, and the largest will not exceed 150 million tons. After all, this is already the limit of what ordinary means can reach.

But this time Zhu Lei's laboratory successfully broke through the limit of nuclear weapons, and successfully made the explosive power of nuclear weapons reach an unprecedented level, the power of this new type of nuclear weapons is quite amazing, and the volume is much smaller than the original nuclear weapons, the power of this new breakthrough of nuclear weapons and the old one, in the same volume, the power of nuclear weapons has increased tenfold, which can be described as amazing, which makes it much easier to drop nuclear weapons in interstellar wars in the future. And it also makes it much more difficult for the enemy to intercept.

That is to say, the original 100 million tons of nuclear weapons now use new technology, the same volume can release the power of a billion tons of yield scale, it is because of such a big breakthrough Zhu Lei will hurriedly dare to come to the laboratory, although this is not a breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology, Zhu Lei's heart has some regrets, but this can not wash away the joy in his heart, after all, the breakthrough of nuclear weapons represents that mankind has mastered another trump card, and when entering the interstellar world, it will be more self-preservation.

After Zhu Lei finished watching the nuclear weapons laboratory, he came to the controlled nuclear fusion laboratory, although now the controllable nuclear fusion is very difficult to move forward every step due to the problem of materials, after all, the conditions required for nuclear fusion are very harsh, and the high temperature must reach hundreds of millions of degrees in an instant to ignite the nuclear reactor, and such a high temperature cannot be achieved by ordinary means.

Therefore, in the early days of human beings, a feasible plan was proposed, that is, to use the explosion of the atomic bomb to reach this temperature, so before the unification of the Ming Empire, all the super-powerful nuclear bombs of the original countries were hydrogen bombs, and the principle of these hydrogen bombs was no different from before, they all used atomic bombs to detonate hydrogen bombs, but the size and power of the atomic bombs were different.

Therefore, the previous nuclear fusion technology of human beings is uncontrollable, although the research of human beings in the theory of controlled nuclear fusion began a long time ago, and even in many aspects the technology has matured, so the material problem has become a huge obstacle for human beings to master controllable nuclear fusion, after all, nuclear fusion is not nuclear fission, but due to the development of human science and technology, there is no other way than to ignite with atomic bombs has been solved, and now human beings can use a variety of scientific and technological means to ignite nuclear fusion reactors.

Because the temperature of the nuclear reactor is very high in the process of nuclear fusion, and the various materials produced by human beings cannot withstand such temperatures at all, so now the scientists in this laboratory are actively thinking of various ways to solve this problem, but so far they have not found a feasible and effective way.

In his previous life, Zhu Lei had also thought of various ways in the laboratories of various countries for decades, after all, the temptation of controlled nuclear fusion was something that no country could resist.

Before Zhu Lei crossed, he had actually come up with a feasible solution.

That is the magnetic confinement control method, that is, Zhu Lei's previous life called the superconducting carmack device, and the principle of this method is very fleet, but it becomes very difficult to really use it in the nuclear fusion reactor, and even in Zhu Lei's previous life, until Zhu Lei crossed, no one has developed a nuclear fusion reactor, that is, controllable nuclear fusion.
