Chapter 80: Except Nuclear Fusion
Hearing this, Yu Yifeng said with some surprise: "Then why don't you use this high-efficiency battery to make high-energy weapons?" ”
What he meant was whether it was possible to use decay batteries and imitate the creation of weapons like Gauss rifles. He liked this weapon that saved his life, and since he used it, he felt that the marrow was not as good as the scum of human firearms......
Yu Yifeng deeply understands that in the future, it will still be the era of electricity and magnetism, whether it is weapons or other aspects, it is inseparable from electricity and magnetic technology.
So he is also very concerned about the problem of high-energy batteries. From the small life and home to the safety of the entire Noah, it is inseparable from the battery with higher performance.
Electricity is very large-scale and difficult to preserve, so far, the excess power of the power station cannot be stored well, and must be used at any time. Although Noah has a number of backup power stations, the distribution of the grid is not as complex as on Earth, and from a safety point of view, it is still insufficient.
If there are ultra-large reserves of high-energy batteries, it will undoubtedly be able to reach a higher level in terms of power security.
The Noah is home to the entire new human civilization. From a security point of view, it is not as good as the earth, because any ecosystem needs to be balanced by human beings, and the process during this period is like walking on a single-plank bridge, and human beings cannot be a little sloppy. If there is a sudden and large-scale power outage, the danger is self-evident.
And, on the other hand, a real space weapon must be supported by these superbatteries......
Yuriko listened and quickly shook her head: "There are two problems, first, this isotope decay battery is very large, and there is no way to miniaturize it for the time being, and it is generally only suitable for larger devices such as satellites, and second, it relies on elemental decay to generate electricity, and the output power is constant, and it is difficult to increase rapidly." For example, laser weapons and particle beam weapons require great instantaneous output power of batteries, but instantaneously accelerating nuclear fission is very likely to cause safety accidents. ”
"If the technology is not up to par, the battery is likely to explode...... We can't control this yet."
Yu Yifeng frowned and thought about it, this isotope decay battery has existed for decades, and if it can really be improved, it will be improved a long time ago. It was also he who thought the problem too simply.
Yuriko continued, "Alien technology has related creations, but we haven't figured out how it works yet......"
As the two talked, Yu Yifeng felt more and more that the technology tree in front of him seemed to be endless...... As vast as the sea of stars, human beings have only touched some of the bottom at present.
It stands to reason that human beings will have to develop at least a few hundred or thousands of years before they can enter the starry sky, but now they have been driven out of their home planet alive......
But now, with the inspiration of these alien creations, it can catch up with the speed of normal development for decades in a year, and Yu Yifeng is already quite satisfied. One can at least see where the tech tree is headed.
He burped, a little full, but still nibbled on the bottom crayfish with a full stomach.
This lobster is a fresh product that has been launched in the last six months. The groundwater pumped from Sharp Hill is highly salin, just enough to be used to cultivate some seafood. Thanks to this, the food and drink on the Noah also began to diversify, and the living conditions of the people were better.
He looked at it, and suddenly reached out and gave a crayfish clip to Yuriko, "The last one will be given to you!" ”
Actually, I didn't think too much about it, almost subconsciously. The two of them have been together for more than two years, and it can be said that they are too familiar with each other, and this kind of behavior is nothing.
"Speaking of which, how is the testing of the laser ignition system?" Yu Yifeng sat in his seat, wiped his mouth, and asked casually.
That's the basic introduction to the four-hydrogen nuclear bomb, and he still cares about it very much, no matter how the nuclear bomb has shortcomings, it is also the big hole card of mankind. This kind of somewhat primitive weapon is extremely powerful, and it can't be caught up with lasers and ion cannons.
Yuriko thought for a moment, and when it came to scientific issues, she became extremely serious, "Now our laser system can instantly ignite 49 hydrogen balls with a diameter of one millimeter at the same time, and the current situation can only reach this extent. It may take several months to improve if you want to shoot more than a hundred targets......"
Yu Yifeng said directly: "Time is not a problem. And we now have enough materials and energy, and we will further strengthen the support for major laboratories. Speaking of which, our military strength is really too poor, and if it weren't for a few good weapons removed from the flying saucer, it would really be no different from the zero. ”
Yuriko also agreed: "Actually...... It's just an ornament. Our electrical output is insufficient, and the power of the shells produced is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the original. ”
"If we really want to use them, first, we need super batteries, and second, we need more powerful energy, which is controlled nuclear fusion technology!"
Speaking of controlled nuclear fusion technology, the two men suddenly fell silent.
The engine room and power room of the alien flying saucer were completely destroyed, and humans did not get any information about "controlled nuclear fusion". In other words, this aspect is likely to be explored by humans themselves, which is also the saddest thing for energy scientists.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, almost all technologies will be able to advance significantly, except for ...... Nuclear fusion!
Controlled nuclear fusion, known as the "ultimate form" of human energy, once nuclear fusion like nuclear fission to achieve power generation, will be a revolutionary success that will turn the world upside down, human beings in energy, no longer have to be careful in terms of energy. Because the material for nuclear fusion can be said to be inexhaustible...... However, with the current progress of scientific and technological development, this energy technology is still in a distant state.
"There is no hope for this technology for at least a few decades." Yu Yifeng's tone was a little low. He had discussed this issue with Ding Yidong, Felix and other big scientists, and they all agreed that there was no way to achieve controlled nuclear fusion technology in the short term.
At present, the best result on the earth is the national large scientific facility of Huaxia State, the world's first fully superconducting tokamak, which has achieved a stable 101.2-second steady-state long-pulse high-confinement plasma operation.
Such an achievement is only confined to a certain range of plasma, which is only the most preliminary step, and there is still a long way to go before the official power generation......
Yu Yifeng felt a little regretful in his heart, if only there was controlled nuclear fusion technology. Many extraterrestrial weapons are based on the super high energy consumption of nuclear fusion to be used normally.
"We believe that the controlled nuclear fusion technology is not engineering feasible so far, and it may only be possible to ...... after our superconductivity technology, cooling technology, and magnetic confinement technology go up."
Yuriko said lightly: "Of course, the little ball you brought back may be a database, and there may be relevant information, but it is also far from being successfully decrypted......
Yu Yifeng frowned and was silent.
