Li Hao showed such an expression, and listened to Academician Zhu Bingwen continue.

Zhu Bingwen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said to Li Hao: "Does Chairman Li know about nuclear fusion technology?" ”

When Li Hao heard Academician Zhu Bingwen's words, his pupils contracted instantly, and soon returned to normal.

Who in the scientific research community does not know that whether the earth's civilization can continue for a long time depends on whether nuclear fusion technology can be realized in the past 100 years.

At the current rate of scientific and technological development, it will be postponed by another 100 years. After the realization of nuclear fusion technology, it will be possible to develop the solar system on a large scale.

The chemical energy used today is either an electric engine developed by the group.

None of them can lead the spacecraft to complete the deep development of the solar system's resources. At most, it can only travel frequently between the earth and the moon, and the cost is very high.

This has little to do with technological developments, mainly energy efficiency.

To use a misapt analogy, replace the current locomotive with steam power.

It's the shape of the train and the material of the rails that are excellent, driven by steam power. Definitely not too fast. This is because the energy conversion rate is too low and the sustainability is not enough.

Li Hao's expression changed slightly, and he concentrated and recovered: "Academician Zhu, of course I know about nuclear fusion technology. It's just that there is still a long time before the successful development of nuclear fusion technology. Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen did not notice the change in Li Hao's expression.

He also did not answer Li Hao's question, and continued: "Now it is possible to realize the method of nuclear fusion technology. I think there is only one type, and that is the tokamak device proposed by Russian scientists.

It uses a closed electromagnetic field to confine high-temperature ions and bring them to the critical point of nuclear fusion reactions.

The tokamak nuclear fusion reactor built by China in Heqi and the tokamak jointly built by European and American countries all use this technology to achieve nuclear fusion, and it is the only mainstream method in the international community. ”

When Li Hao heard Academician Zhu Bingwen's words, he immediately raised a different opinion: "Academician Zhu, I remember that China also pioneered the inertial nuclear fusion technology using high-power laser technology. Why did you just say the tokamak device. ”

Zhu Bingwen waved his hand and said: "The experimental task of the laser inertial device is far greater than its practicability.

It had to use a high-power laser and could now only carry out ignition experiments for a short period of time.

Not to mention the need to create a high-power laser that can create the conditions for a nuclear fusion reaction to continue, it is difficult to design and manufacture in today's industry.

That is, the amount of electricity consumed by the high-power laser itself is offset by the amount of electricity expected to be produced by the fusion device. The net surplus of electricity is not as good as that of today's large nuclear fission power plants, how can such a device be put into practical use. ”

Li Hao hadn't taken these subtle parameters into account before, and when he heard Academician Zhu Bingwen say this, he retorted slightly: "Now that high-power lasers consume a lot of energy, maybe the development of technology can solve this problem."

Maybe in the future, this device, it will be like a chain reaction of nuclear fission, it only needs to start providing some energy, and the whole system will run naturally. ”

Zhu Bingwen should have said with a smile: "I'm just engaged in nuclear reactor research, and I don't know what is in it."

The main purpose of an inertial fusion device is not to study nuclear fusion technology. It is inherently deficient and has congenital defects.

You see, the state invests most of its money and manpower in tokamak installations.

This inertial fusion device seems to me. It studies the use of nuclear fusion and is much smaller than simulating a nuclear explosion.

If you go any further, it will involve the issue of confidentiality, which I will not tell you. ”

Li Hao's brain was running at high speed, and he only heard a few words from Academician Zhu Bingwen. He will be able to understand the specific reasons for the country's development of this technology.

He felt that he should not be tempted with Academician Zhu Bingwen. They talked for a long time, and the country's nuclear fusion energy plan has not been talked about to the point.

Li Hao asked Academician Zhu Bingwen directly: "Academician Zhu, can you tell me about your specific intentions. I've heard you say for so long, and I haven't been sure what you mean. ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen looked at Li Hao with burning eyes, and said slowly: "I came here to have a project that I want to cooperate with your company. ”

Li Hao saw that Academician Zhu Bingwen was indeed as he expected, there was a project to cooperate with them.

Since the launch of the scientific research assistance system of Qingci Technology, after gaining great prestige in the scientific research department, there are always some people who think that they have no talents.

They recommended themselves and took the initiative to come to Qingci Technology to promote their research.

In order not to let go of valuable talents, Li Hao also arranged for an audit team composed of parrots and experts from the scientific research building to audit.

First, the parrot will review the project through an artificial intelligence program, and if it does not understand, it is in line with certain scientific principles. It is then handed over to a team of experts who are responsible for the final review of the project.

But most of the visitors were civil sciences, people who didn't even understand modern science. I want to study perpetual motion machines, infinite energy and other projects that are completely inconsistent with the laws of physics.

There is also a person who said that he cultivated Neidan and could realize the art of turning stones into gold.

There are endless technologies that make people laugh and cry, but they are all stopped by parrots.

During this time, a few buried talents were discovered, and they were absorbed into various laboratories in the research building.

Qingci Technology is still very willing to invest in the field of scientific research, as long as the vision in this field is good, and there is a certain amount of luck. It is one of the few low-input and high-output fields.

Of course, this low investment is in units of 100 million yuan, and ordinary investors can't afford it.

Of course, he won't, because Academician Zhu Bingwen is also this kind of person. As a top expert of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he will not come to the group to fool his confidant.

Li Hao estimated that Academician Zhu's intention was to use the funds, talents and equipment of Qingci Technology. to help him develop his own project.

If this project has great prospects, Li Hao is still very willing to invest in this project.

Li Hao asked carefully: "Academician Zhu, I know that you are an expert in nuclear physics, mainly researching nuclear reactors.

Today's nuclear reactors are all turnips and pits, and the state will not make duplicate investments. How can we squeeze in such a small volume of our company?

And what exactly is this project you're working on? We will only make a decision if we have a detailed understanding. ”

Academician Zhu Bingwen said with a smile: "I haven't said the specific project yet, why is Chairman Li not confident."

But I would like to say that after this project, Chairman Li will definitely be eager to invest.

The project I am working on is a small nuclear fusion reactor, and it has no connection with the tokamak device that the country is currently working on.

It uses helium-3, which has relatively low and better controlled fusion reaction conditions, as a feedstock.

The overall scale of the fusion reactor is very small, it is a cylindrical reactor with a diameter of only about 10 meters and a length of no more than 30 meters.

To know the tokamak device, he occupies at least hundreds of acres. Chairman Li should know what this small nuclear reactor will be used for in the future. ”
