The Space Science and Technology Center did not stop the research work in the center because of Fan Yize's arrival.

In the main laboratory of No. 1, Fan Yize saw hundreds of scientists wearing chemical protective suits, watching intently the operation of a miniature nuclear reactor on the test platform.

The tiny reactor is the size of a normal adult's head and uses controlled fusion technology, which is marked on the experimental platform as the 6,700th test of the project.

Controlled nuclear fusion is a mature technology of the base itself, and the base has a super high-temperature resistant material, which can completely isolate the high temperature generated by the operation of the nuclear fusion reactor, and also makes controlled nuclear fusion possible.

At present, the base has fully controlled the start and stop of nuclear fusion, and the reaction speed of nuclear fusion can be controlled at any time.

To put it simply, it is a substance that can also be burned, such as gunpowder can be used to make bombs, because it only uses its high energy to explode destructively, and it can be mixed with some substances to make honeycomb coal, so that it can be used as a furnace to slowly release energy, so that it can burn when it burns, and extinguish it when it wants.

Turning the fuel in this honeycomb coal furnace into nuclear fuel, boiling water, and turning the water into steam to propel turbines to generate electricity, has become the basic prototype of today's nuclear power plants.

Nuclear fusion has several benefits over controlled nuclear fission, one is that the raw material is heavy water, which can be extracted directly from seawater. And in the process of nuclear fusion, there will be no nuclear waste and pollution, and there will be no danger of nuclear leakage.

However, compared with the technology of controllable nuclear fission, the technology of controllable nuclear fusion is very different, and the difficulty is also increased exponentially.

One of the biggest problems lies in the reaction conditions, the reaction conditions of nuclear fusion are very weak, natural uranium ore can be fissioned in the natural natural environment at room temperature, but compared with fission, nuclear fusion wants to produce a reaction, it needs a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees in an instant to trigger a fusion reaction.

And such a high temperature is not possible with traditional heating methods.

When mankind was developing the list, they came up with some solutions, and the most common way to use a nuclear bomb to detonate a hydrogen bomb is to install a nuclear bomb inside the hydrogen bomb and detonate the hydrogen bomb by detonating the nuclear bomb.

The explosion of the hydrogen bomb is a reaction process of nuclear fusion, and it is the high temperature generated at the moment of the explosion of the nuclear bomb that produces the uncontrollable destructive power of nuclear fusion.

Therefore, the key question of nuclear fusion is what kind of material can be used to carry hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature, and how to ignite such high temperatures.

The problem of temperature is easy to solve, because the laser energy generated by the Guangling Pagoda of the base can exceed hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius at the moment of explosion, and it can burn the matter in direct contact.

The base has this kind of technical material that can withstand hundreds of millions of degrees of heat, but it is a large reactor, not a miniature reactor.

The miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion is a key scientific research project of the Red Guard Corps Operations Laboratory, and it is a project that must be overcome.

The reason why not build a miniature nuclear fission reactor is very simple, that is, nuclear radiation and pollution, and the nuclear radiation and pollution produced by nuclear fission will make the use of it a disaster.

However, nuclear fusion does not have such a problem, so compared with the role of nuclear fission micro-reactors, nuclear fusion reactors are the future individual energy needs of the Red Guard Corps.

At the same time, it is also an important source of energy for space exploration technology, and once this miniature nuclear fusion reactor can be used, it will inevitably set off a new upgrade revolution for all weapons and equipment in the Red Alert base.

The tank will not need a bulky engine, and the power system of the sixth-generation fighter can also be completely solved.

Plenty of sustainable. Individual mechs that fight for a long time, even large mechs, can also conquer power technology.

At the same time, space exploration and spacecraft power will no longer be a constraint.

The current challenge of limiting the miniaturization of fusion reactors is no longer a question of how to make them work.

So far, the nuclear fusion reactor owned by the base is used as a reactor for large nuclear power plants, as well as as an energy source for such super-large combat equipment as floating island fortresses.

However, both large nuclear power plants and floating island fortresses have the ability to withstand the powerful energy brought by nuclear fusion and absorb this energy.

Therefore, the use of nuclear fusion is completely fine, while the use of small nuclear reactors must be more precisely controlled to release energy.

At present, the combat laboratory has successfully overcome the technical difficulties of the nuclear fusion production process and strict control of the problem.

In the field of nuclear fusion, there is a heating method that can make the requirements of hundreds of millions of degrees of the problem achieve an effect on the nucleus itself.

The principle is to heat a part of the nuclear fuel through the laser matrix in the reactor to produce fusion, in short, to make this part of the nuclear fuel produce an explosive reaction similar to a hydrogen bomb, thus generating huge energy.

Thousands of such tests have been carried out, and the technology is very mature and the base has recognized the technology.

However, the miniature nuclear fusion reactor has a supporting problem that must be solved, that is, the energy generated by the small nuclear fusion reactor is also quite large, and the equipment supporting the miniature nuclear fusion reactor has no way to completely absorb and utilize the huge energy generated instantaneously.

This is also currently in the test, the micro nuclear fusion reactor on the test platform is a mature micro reactor, but the energy released is quite violent, if it is placed on a large power grid, then this energy is not much, but if it is placed on a few lines, the energy of the capacity will be unbearable.

If it is placed on an aircraft carrier, this small reactor can produce energy that the aircraft carrier can bear, but it cannot provide the aircraft carrier with the power to drive.

However, if the mass of the reactor is increased, the energy generated is not enough for the carrying equipment in the power space of the aircraft carrier to bear, so such tests are needed.

When Fan Yize just walked in, the miniature nuclear fusion reactor was being turned on, and the nuclear fusion reactor could be seen lit up with a beautiful blue light.

Nuclear fusion begins to be generated, energy is provided, and the huge amount of energy is channeled to make the power generation devices connected to nuclear fusion run quickly, and the generated electricity is quickly stored in the battery.

It seemed that everything was going well, and many scientists also had smiles on their faces, but this smile quickly disappeared, black smoke rose from the small power generation device, the reactor work stopped, and the test failed.
