"All in all, such a simple and crude solution is much more achievable than controlled nuclear fusion!"

A scientist in front of him was foaming at the mouth, trying to convince Yu Yifeng to be Yu Yifeng. A group of people behind X kept discussing, and from time to time they jumped out to point out a few words.

The whole office is bustling like a vegetable market.

Facing a group of fanatical scientists, Yu Yifeng touched the sweat on his forehead, and said with some pain: "I can eat this million-ton equivalent...... Deuterium...... Deuterium bomb, how big does the reactor have to be? ”

Limited by the limitations of the raw materials for the nuclear bomb, a small hydrogen bomb is no longer possible. Only hydrogen or deuterium bombs can be popularized in a large area, but this kind of nuclear bomb cannot be reduced in yield, and one million tons is the smallest......

"Moreover, our home is still the Noah...... You can't keep digging holes in the Knicks, right? Even if you dig a hole in the ground, the explosion of a nuclear bomb with such a high yield will cause an earthquake. What to do then, dig another one? Digging all the time? ”

"How do you get the electricity to the past? Do you want humans to abandon the Noah and live on the surface? It's impossible! ”

The expert immediately said: "We believe that it is necessary to build a long-term and reliable super-large reactor, which can also be built directly outside the Noah." ”

"The size of the reactor...... Rather, it has to be carefully calculated. ”

"Yes, it is necessary!" Professor Ding Yidong yelled in the back: "The bigger the better, the stronger the better!" ”

In this way, they discussed for more than an hour, and in a "big" and "strong" voice, these mad scientists left, throwing this choice problem to Yu Yifeng.

They just gave an idea, and as for how to implement it in the future, they had to calculate and simulate it in detail. Anyway, there are quantum computers with super computing power that can simulate very realistically, and they will implement this plan thoroughly as soon as possible to see if it is feasible!

Yu Yifeng shook his head and regained his composure, he carefully combed through the various information he had just heard.

Such a nuclear explosion reactor is, of course, not so simple......

After all, a nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb, so how easy is it to restrain this beast?

In the face of a powerful nuclear bomb, there is still something that is not enough, especially if you need to face it for a long time...... Long-term......

"Megaton equivalent is still a bit too big......"

The heat from nuclear radiation is so high that it can melt part of the furnace wall in minutes, and if some of the furnace walls are melted every time it explodes, it will accumulate over the years, and even if the furnace is not exploded, there is no way to generate electricity......

To solve this problem, the easiest way is to add some obstructive gases to the inside of the reactor, so that the volume of the reactor is greater than the killing radius of the nuclear bomb!

In this way, the nuclear explosion will not be able to blow up the reactor wall, which is equivalent to swallowing up all the energy. After the explosion of a nuclear bomb, the temperature in the most marginal area is lower than the melting point of the furnace wall, so the wall does not melt.

"It's a good idea." Yu Yifeng secretly pondered, "Use super-large projects to reduce the difficulty...... It is also possible to have some magnetic fields as shields. ”

These gases absorb the radiant energy of the nuclear bomb and convert it into a high-temperature plasma.

At the same time, the plasma is endowed with high kinetic energy by the nuclear bomb, and it will spontaneously and rapidly eject from the furnace mouth and generate electricity directly through the corresponding magnetofluid generator.

In addition, the high-temperature waste heat in the gas can also be used to generate electricity with a heat engine to maximize the utilization of energy.

These technologies are still relatively mature for human beings.

There is also the issue of nuclear bomb ignition, and these "ball-shaped" nuclear bombs require laser ignition...... So is it possible to use certain fiber optic materials to conduct laser light?

It doesn't cost much to just blow up some fibers...... Otherwise, it would be too costly to blow up one laser ignition device at a time.

If these measures are realized, the reactor can continue to operate stably for a long time.

"It's a beautiful idea......" Yu Yifeng couldn't help but smile, and then he immediately frowned.

However, the amount of work is ......

The amount of work!

Yu Yifeng was faintly prepared in his heart, a nuclear bomb with a million-ton yield, placed on the earth, had a killing radius of 7 kilometers alone! Therefore, the diameter of the reactor, coupled with the thick furnace wall and complex power generation facilities, is definitely much larger than seven kilometers! Even more than ten kilometers!

This amount of work is absolutely pervertedly terrible, a large boiler with a diameter of ten kilometers, this fucking ...... Already far beyond Mount Everest!

A furnace taller than Mount Everest!

After a simple estimate for a while, Yu Yifeng trembled.

After scolding a few times in his heart, Yu Yifeng suddenly found out...... Professor Ding Yidong also left a report on the table.

He picked it up and looked at it, and there were only six big characters written on the title page!

This is a propulsion for nuclear fusion, which has been proposed in the last century.

This project is not detonating a nuclear bomb on the outside, as in the Orion program, but on the inside...... It's also a reactor!

The ions inside are then confined by a magnetic field and ejected as a driving force.

Professor Ding Yidong wrote: "The core bomb composed of deuterium and helium-3 will detonate 250 times per second, and the plasma will be expelled directly from the rocket through a magnetic field, thus generating thrust. As a two-stage rocket, this will accelerate the ship to 12% of the speed of light! ”

Yes, 12% of the speed of light!

This method of internal explosion would be more efficient than the Orion project, in which most of the blast energy of the atomic bomb was not projected onto the hull and converted into power.

Of course, the Daedalus plan is also more difficult, and there is a lot of room for improvement. However, in the opinion of scientists at the time, there was indeed a certain degree of feasibility.

"This scheme was proposed in the 70s of the last century, it is more crude than Orion, and it is the only sub-light spacecraft that is possible! Of course, it is not possible to achieve it because the requirements are beyond imagination......"

"O human beings, when did they gradually lose their ambitions and gradually immerse themselves in their own wonderful world? All brain holes are a product of the last century......"

Faced with this real case, Yu Yifeng had to sigh.

Reality is more science fiction than science fiction, human beings living in reality have unconsciously huge power, the key is a burning heart!

After the Cold War, our passions cooled, we became more realistic, and our thinking was no longer magnificent.

I don't know, right or wrong......

A ...... worth remembering It's always a great dream like it once was.

We are not Guardians...... It's an explorer, it's a pioneer!

Our dreams have not disappeared yet.

He understood what Professor Ding Yidong meant, or the great dream of the group of great scientists.

The "Daedalus Project" and the "nuclear bomb blasting power generation" have similarities and even ...... Both can be done at the same time! After the nuclear bomb is exploded in the furnace cavity, the high-temperature plasma ejected from the explosion can be used for both propulsion and power generation.

In other words, such a nuclear fusion reactor is itself the propulsion engine of a spaceship!

This group of scientists is even crazier than Yu Yifeng imagined, they want to solve the two major problems of "nuclear fusion" and "spaceship" together, through a reactor!

It seems like...... Very good indeed.

Yu Yifeng smiled slightly in his heart: "Is this the most brutal version of the interstellar civilization?" ”r
