Chapter 50: Shenhuo Five

By this time, it was already dark, and five minutes later, Chen Feng was surrounded by a group of people again, after which he was escorted into a basement......

It is said to be a basement, but in fact, it can be regarded as a dungeon, with a lot of space and walls made of reinforced concrete.

"Welcome to Shenhuo 5, I'm the person in charge here, you can call me Lao Shi......"

An old man with a gray beard stretched out his right hand to Chen Feng.

"Hello, my name is Chen Feng......"

"Hello boy, I've heard about you, that super solar with an 85 percent conversion rate is what you developed, right? I've seen it, and it's amazing. ”

"Hehe, it's just a fluke."

"Fluke? My old man hasn't been lucky once in most of his life, so don't be modest, it's good for young people to be modest, but if you're too modest, you're suspected of pretending......"

I don't know why, Chen Feng always felt that the word pretending to be forced sounded very awkward from the old man's mouth......

"Okay, come with me, I'm waiting for you......"

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Feng to answer, Lao Shi grabbed his arm and pulled him into a side door on the left side of the dungeon.

There is also a large space behind the side door, and in the center of this space, there is a large mechanical device.

The device is round, but uneven, with a lot of protrusions, and thick wires are attached to each protrusion.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the Shenhuo No. 5 test machine, which uses tokamak magnetic confinement, laser heating and ignition, and can currently carry out continuous fusion combustion for fifteen minutes......"

Fifteen minutes is already very strong, you know, the temperature generated by fusion combustion is as high as hundreds of millions of °C, and it can last for fifteen minutes, which shows that the magnetic confinement of Shenhuo 5 has certain research results.

"In addition, there are Shenhuo 3, Shenhuo 2, and Shenhuo 3 using inertial constraints, which are commonly known as gravitational constraints."

"Shenhuo-2 is still in the basic experimental stage, that is an idea put forward by an old guy from the Academy of Sciences, he thinks that the best way to confine nuclear fusion is to achieve it through the synthesis of basic materials, the idea is feasible, but the reality is very skinny, which leads to the Shenhuo-2 experimental base has now become a basic material synthesis research base......"

"Base materials? Who? Chen Feng was suddenly shocked, this person is right, basic science is the cornerstone, without the cornerstone, no matter how advanced the technology is, it will not become a reality.

Lao Shi was also stunned, and then asked, "Young man, are you very interested in him?" Or are you interested in basic material crafting? ”

"I just think he's an admirable person, whether it's controlled nuclear fusion, or technology in the aerospace field, it's indispensable to the support of basic science, just like you have a good carving knife, you also need a good material."

"Huh...... Everyone understands this truth, but basic science is not so simple, whether it is basic alloys, nanomaterials, or chemical synthetic materials, this all requires money, and the waste of materials in experiments is a lot of money. ”

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly: "But without the support of basic science, all advanced concepts are illusory, and the same is true for the project of controlled nuclear fusion, what do you think is the practical value of a nuclear fusion reactor that can only continue to burn for fifteen minutes?" Even if it can burn for five hours, should it be stopped once every five hours when it is used, and then restarted after cooling? ……”

Lao Shi was silent, he was powerless to refute, because Chen Feng was right, modern science has become a kind of competition, a large part of the old scholars are eager to make achievements, and the people's eyes are also on the field of science and technology that can change the fate of mankind.

Around the Shenhuo-5 fusion reactor, there were many people around, and a few people held folders in their hands as if they were recording something.

Lao Shi stepped forward and clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Okay, that's all for today, let's go to eat first, and then go to the conference room after eating." ”

After that, Lao Shi led Chen Feng to a large canteen, and after eating, he took Chen Feng to a large conference room.

There are a lot of people here, about thirty or forty, young and old.

The conference table was oval, Chen Feng and Lao Shi sat at the front, and the two sat side by side.

"Huh." Lao Shi smiled first, then looked at Chen Feng, pointed to the person on the left and said, "On the left is the researcher of Shenhuo No. 5, and on the right is the researcher of Kamikaze No. 2, they all rushed here temporarily. ”

After introducing his own people, Lao Shi moved the stool to the side very interestingly, and he was also very clear in his heart about Chen Feng's status.

He didn't know that Chen Feng was here to engage in controlled nuclear fusion today, and he received a notice that the developers of super solar were ready to come to the friendly exchange, and with the idea of friendly exchange, he organized this meeting.

Chen Feng didn't know that Lao Shi didn't know what he was here for, he was already a little tired this day and night, and he didn't want to do it anymore, so he said straight to the point.

"When I first came, I heard Professor Shi casually say that Shenhuo has a total of three experimental projects, which are carrying out different controllable nuclear fusion experiments, including magnetic restraint, inertial restraint, and basic materials."

Looking at the researchers on both sides, Chen Feng frowned and said in a low voice, "But just now, Professor Shi, you only introduced the researchers of Shenhuo No. 5 and No. 3, so where are the researchers of Shenhuo No. 2?" ”

Lao Shi was stunned for a moment, he was a little puzzled: "Is this important?" It seems that the development of photovoltaic special energy and basic materials are not related, right? ”

"Photovoltaic energy development? What do you mean? Chen Feng frowned.

Lao Shi also asked strangely, "Aren't you here to communicate?" ”

Helpless...... The donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth, and the other party doesn't know what he's here for.

Chen Feng sighed, picked up the microphone directly, put it to his mouth, looked around, and said loudly: "First of all, I am not here to discuss the development of photovoltaic special energy, photovoltaic special energy cannot replace nuclear energy, if I really plan to exchange super solar technology, I will not come here." ”

Lao Shi's eyebrows were already twisted together, and he seemed to be a little unhappy.

"I was notified that the developers of Super Solar will come for an academic exchange today, as for the rest, I don't know, if you don't plan to continue, then I think this conference can be over......"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the iron door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a uniformed soldier walked in.

"Both of them are the pillars of the Eastern Kingdom, there is nothing to quarrel about, this matter is my fault, I will make amends to the two of them, and there is one more thing, the research team of Shenhuo-2 is rushing over by plane, and it will be ......there in about forty-five minutes."

"Alright, I'll wait for them to arrive, and then I'll start!"

"You mean to keep so many of us waiting here?" Lao Shi said with a displeased face.

"Do you know how much it costs us to shut down for an hour? Do you take on this responsibility? ”

Chen Feng smiled disdainfully and asked rhetorically: "Instead of wasting time on impossible experiments, it is better to sit here and wait for someone, at least there will be fewer resources wasted during this time." ”

"What do you mean!" Lao Shi slapped the table and stood up, if there was no soldier next to him, Chen Feng had no doubt that Lao Shi would point at his nose and scold.

Professor Shi ...... Please be patient. That's what the above means. ”
