Chapter 115 CFTER Fusion Reactor

Speaking of nuclear energy, human research on nuclear energy can be said to have been around for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the French physicist Becquerel who first discovered the natural radioactivity of uranium nuclei in the experiment of studying uranium salts, to Marie Curie's pioneering of the theory of radioactivity and the discovery of polonium and radium, to Rutherford and Soddy publishing the transmutation theory of the elements, proposing that the atom can change from one element to another, to Einstein proposing the mass-energy equation and explaining the phenomenon of the mass gain and loss of atomic mass in the fission process, mankind's research on nuclear energy has been making progress and has never stopped advancing.

Extending to the practical field, whether it is a strategic nuclear weapon with a strong psychological deterrent, or a fission power station that has been used for civilian power generation, it shows that mankind is digging into the powerful energy rich in the atomic nucleus step by step.

However, controlled nuclear fusion, which is the crown of the nuclear energy field, is still a technology that the scientific community is constantly trying to master.

At present, people are still very rough in the application of nuclear fusion, as if they are holding an AK47 in their hands, but they don't know how to use it when facing the enemy.

Isn't it funny? It is well known that fusion reactions release far more energy than fission reactions, but it is precisely because the energy released is so large that it is not easy for us to control it.

Therefore, the fusion reaction can only exist as a simple weapon of destruction, and cannot be effectively used.

The use of nuclear energy for civil power generation seems to have a very promising prospect, but due to scientific conditions, the nuclear power technology currently mastered by mankind is basically still in the mode of heavy nuclear fission, and the heavy nuclear as a raw material is not only scarce, but also inevitably has the characteristics of radioactive decay, so fission power stations naturally carry potential risks.

Although there is no radioactive leakage at a nuclear power plant under normal circumstances, it is not afraid of 10,000 in case of a natural disaster, such as a strong earthquake, and the leakage of radioactivity is an inescapable dilemma.

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale struck Japan and caused a tsunami, and the reactors of two fission reactor nuclear power plants in Fukushima Prefecture failed.

In the 80s of the last century, mankind's use of nuclear power suffered the most serious blow -- the Chernobyl nuclear accident, which polluted 60,000 square kilometers and caused more than 3 million people to be harmed by radiation.

In the final analysis, the cause of these two serious accidents is not what kind of harm the power station accident itself caused, but the radioactive contamination that makes people talk about the tiger's discoloration!

Although fusion reactors are more technically difficult to control than dangerous fission power plants, their benefits are also clear.

The raw materials used in fusion power stations are the isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, which are not only abundant in reserves and can almost be described as inexhaustible, but also do not cause much pollution to the environment even if leakage occurs during the fusion process, and at the same time, due to the harsh conditions required for fusion, once the reactor fails, it will not be out of control like fission, but will spontaneously stop functioning.

I think everyone already knows that nuclear energy, as a new type of clean energy, has far more advantages than fission reaction, and cannot be effectively utilized, isn't it a pity?

In 2003, China joined the international cooperation ITER fusion reactor program, officially accelerated the pace of fusion reactor research, the ITER reactor was originally scheduled to be ignited in 2027, with an output of 400 megawatts and an annual operating time of 5%, in addition, China has also developed its own CFTER reactor, the output power is controlled at 50 to 200 megawatts, the annual operation time is 50%, and it is scheduled to be completed and put into operation in 2030.

Now, because of Zhou Chen's sudden intervention, this progress has been greatly shortened.

The controllable technology of the reactor is largely guided by Zhou Chen's "Nuclear Energy Release Execution Equation", which makes the process of nuclear energy release more detailed, gives more clear steps, and provides the possibility for human regulation and control in the middle.

However, despite the complete set of construction plans and schematic diagrams, there are still many problems when actually building the reactor, because there are still problems between theory and practice.

This time, the Institute of Plasma of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Southwest Institute of Physics specially sent an invitation letter to Zhou Chen, largely because he provided many solutions for the construction of the project during the construction of the reactor.

In fact, this is also easy to understand, even if there is a huge and detailed plan in hand, the engineering staff will still encounter many unexpected difficulties during construction, at this time Zhou Chen, who has a full set of solutions in his hand, is not a natural treasure trove to solve problems?

This time, the Institute of Plasma of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Southwest Institute of Physics successfully built an experimental 50,000-ton fusion reactor with an output of 1,800 megawatts, which is the first time in human history.

Therefore, not only the high-level state meetings were present at this ignition test, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also issuing invitations, and the leaders of important countries around the world were among the invites.

In this way, you can see the gold content of this invitation, and it is no exaggeration to say that all those who are invited can enjoy the treatment of the head of state!

Zhao Fengxue didn't know Zhou Chen's specific identity, so in his opinion, it was already a very remarkable thing to be invited to participate in this ignition ceremony.

……

United States, White House.

This year is the second year of Stanley's second term, and with the national economic report in hand, Stanley's heart has never been more relaxed.

Thanks to the full cooperation of all countries, the crisis of the dollar has been suppressed, which provides a good external environment for subsequent reforms.

The benefits of the economic upturn felt by the people, and Stanley's unrelenting attitude towards interest groups gave him a broad base among the bottom groups in the country, and his approval rating has been rising over the years, which makes Stanley feel very good.

"Your Excellency, the House of Representatives Inquiry Session on the Economic Situation and Domestic Policy is about to convene, so please leave in time." A staff member came in and reminded Stanley.

"Well, I see, you go out first."

Stanley waved his hand, glanced at the economic data happily, a faint sneer on his flat face, shook his hand, and casually threw the economic report on the desk.

U.S. Congress, House of Representatives.

"Your Excellency, I seriously doubt that your economic policy is wrong, your economic policy is extremely irresponsible, it is like the terrifying man-eating ants in the Nile Valley of North Africa are eroding the healthy economic body of the United States little by little, and it is burying the future of the United States!"

At the beginning of the interrogation session, according to the process of interrogation, a gray-haired man with a big belly opened fire on Stanley first.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly rejected Stanley's economic openness policy that he had been implementing in recent years, and put a huge hat on Stanley.

"Mr. Frank, I beg my pardon for not agreeing with your accusations, as far as I know, it is because of my open-door policy that the US economy is back to a high growth rate of more than 3% per year, how can I say that my policy is burying the United States?"

Stanley's expression was like a cold winter, and he directly countered with data.

"But your open-door policy has introduced a pack of wolves, and we in America are being eroded by external forces, which is an extremely serious and disturbing signal! When we woke up one day, our Times Square had been bought by foreigners! ”

"Mr. Frank, you are serious nativism, have you forgotten that the United States is a vibrant and pluralistic society, and we should not be so narrow-minded!"

The cold winter on Stanley's face gradually faded, and he retorted seriously: "Remember five years ago? At that time, we people were at risk of losing their jobs, they needed jobs, and it was the government's primary responsibility to be able to give them a stable job! ”

"Ahem, Your Excellency, from a national security standpoint, I don't think Mr. Frank is simply nativist."

It was a congressman from Wall Street who spoke and stood up to support Frank.

Stanley glanced at him with disdain in his eyes: "National security? No, no, no! All businesses on U.S. territory are subject to U.S. laws, and I believe in the efficient operation of the government, and we need to monitor the operations of businesses, not care if the business owner is an American or not. ”

A smile spread across Stanley's face: "And as far as I know, the real economy in the United States has grown by nearly 165 percent in five years, and 75 percent of the businesses that contribute to that growth are owned by Americans." ”

"But corresponding to the growth of the real economy, the size of the virtual economy in the United States has not grown in the past five years, but the proportion has shrunk from 88% to only 72%! And I also have a data here, which is commissioned by a professional research company, the data shows that in the past five years, the renewal rate of the real economy in the United States has reached 70%, what does it mean, 70% of the old enterprises have been replaced by new enterprises, which is simply appalling. ”

The parliamentarian was shaking a report in his hand and shouted hysterically.

Stanley's policy is to cut their flesh!

Stanley shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "This shows that America is a dynamic society that is full of opportunities for entrepreneurs, not for those who do nothing and just sit back and enjoy it." ”

"As for the proportion of the virtual economy and the real economy, I don't evaluate which share is better, I only know that the total economic volume is growing, and the employment rate of the people is increasing."

In fact, of course, Stanley knows what the 70% update rate is, for any country, such an astonishing update rate is definitely abnormal, but at this time, all countries are basically in the same situation, which is to create an illusion, as if it is because the spring-like technology blowout has shaped countless business upstarts.
