Half an hour later.

Wang Baichuan, Wang Ye and others left the air-raid shelter and slowly drove to the explosion site in a car, each of them wearing heavy radiation protection suits.

In order to ensure safety, when they were a kilometer away from the explosion site, they got out of the car together, and there were professionals in front of them to do radiation detection, as well as a series of other various tests.

When you get out of the car, you can see that the scope of the explosion is not large, and there is only some sand and dust accumulation at a kilometer.

This is also to be expected.

The highly-compressed deuterium material they placed was very dense, but the total amount was not large, and even with a full fusion reaction, it would only reach the level of a small atomic bomb explosion at best.

What's more, the fusion reaction of deuterium and deuterium is demanding to the environment, and it is impossible to reach the level of full reaction, otherwise they would not only hide 10 kilometers away.

The material is limited, the reaction will not be sufficient, and the power of the explosion will naturally not be too strong.

However, everyone's heart is very shocked, and they are shocked by two points, one is the successful completion of the ignition, and the other is the ignition method.

"Successfully ignited!"

"Deuterium-deuterium reaction...... It's incredible, it's the first time that humans have achieved ignition outside of the laboratory, right? Wang Baichuan said everyone's thoughts, "Created history!" ”

"We have no idea how far away the ignition team is to achieve the ignition ......."

Successful ignition is shocking in itself.

The fusion reaction of deuterium and deuterium has only appeared in theory before, and there is no precedent for successful ignition in the laboratory in China.

This is also quite normal.

Although there are many theoretical contents of fusion reactions, and ordinary people can say a lot of things when they look up the information, the requirements of the deuterium-deuterium reaction are too harsh.

All hydrogen bombs use deuterium-tritium reactions, which have much lower requirements and much higher reaction intensity.

In a laboratory environment, it is extremely difficult to create the conditions required for a deuterium-tritium reaction.

The general deuterium-deuterium reaction is carried out together with the deuterium-tritium reaction, and the deuterium-deuterium material alone reacts directly, at least until now, which has not been heard of.

It has not been realized at home, and it is likely not to be achieved abroad.

Now they are able to achieve a fusion reaction that ignites deuterium and deuterium, making history in itself, a human first.

The ignition method is even more impressive.

It is clear to everyone that they have mastered a terrifying technology that can achieve fusion ignition at a distance.

The speed of ignition was also surprising.

What others didn't know was that Wang Baichuan and Wang Ye knew very well that the moment the ignition command was issued, the ignition had already been completed, and there was almost no pause halfway.

"If it's a pause, it can also be attributed to network latency......"

Wang Baichuan whispered.

Wang Ye nodded sympathetically, "The ignition will be completed when the command is over, and it will be completed in an instant, it should be the speed of light, right?" ”

"100% light!"

"This speed...... As with our judgment, it should be related to the strong annihilation field......"

After the first demonstration meeting, they had already made a judgment on the new ignition technology, and theoretically they could only find a strong annihilation force field.

The strong annihilation force field can greatly increase the activity of particles, and can also microsqueeze atomic nuclei and electrons, which is suitable for igniting nuclear reactions.

But even with theoretical judgments, they still felt shocked, because the ignition team did not create a strong annihilation force field on the spot, but released it from a long distance.

Can the strong annihilation force field still be released?

"If we use this technology, will we be able to hit the nuclear bombs of other countries?" Wang Baichuan's whispered question made both of them fall into deep thought.

They think of one of the fiercest wars of the 21st century – the Battle of the Goose Witch.

At that time, there were several nuclear bomb bases on the border between the Big Goose Country and the Witch Country, and the distance from the Witch Country was not far away.

It was horrible.

"I don't know how huge the ignition equipment is, can it be transported to the sky by an empty ship? At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, fly to the mainland of other countries......"

"Then, a few ...... at the nuclear base."

Wang Baichuan muttered in a low voice, and there was some fanaticism in his eyes, but Wang Ye grinned hard, he felt also shocked when he thought about that kind of scene.

Wang Ye also said funny, "Why don't you say that you will send it directly to space, when the satellite is hung up, you don't have to fly to the mainland." ”

"Impossible."

"The annihilation force field, which requires a large amount of electrical energy to attack, cannot be activated independently from the ground at all. Regardless of how the ignition is done, at least for a short time, it is impossible. ”

Wang Baichuan was a little deflated when he heard this, but he still retorted, "It's impossible now, it doesn't mean that it's impossible in the future." ”

"If it can be realized, the strategic advantage will be too great."

"At that time, the nuclear weapons stockpiles of other countries will not be a deterrent to the outside world, but a lethal weapon installed on themselves, and a bomb ...... that may explode at any time."

"And ......"

"Professor Wang, think about it, even if it can't be put into the sky, it can ignite the deuterium-deuterium reaction, and it will definitely be able to make the conventional nuclear reaction extremely violent, and if it is used on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it will strike the power room of the aircraft carrier."

"That must be interesting."

Wang Ye thought about it carefully and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The raw materials used in the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are almost the same as the main materials of atomic bombs, and the material abundance is more than 90%.

If the nuclear reactor inside a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier suddenly erupts violently, it can be equated with an atomic bomb explosion.

When the time comes......

The aircraft carrier instantly turned into a fireball, and it was not at all surprising that it was blown to pieces.

Wang Ye couldn't help but take a long breath, he and Wang Baichuan glanced at each other, leaned over and whispered, "No wonder our country was so strong last time, I don't care about any drills or anything like that." ”

"It seems that it is not only the new stealth technology of the empty ship, but also this more terrifying technology, more terrifying weapons, once the opponent's aircraft carrier gets close, ......"

"yes!"

Wang Baichuan rubbed his chest vigorously as he spoke, he just thought about it and said it, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that his thoughts were terrifying.

That's a super weapon!

But they all had excitement on their faces, because the new technology belonged to the flower growers, and there was a great sense of pride in their hearts.

As they spoke, a group of people finally approached the site of the explosion.

The power of the whole explosion is indeed not great, but it is still very shocking to go to the center point, the plywood shed arranged around the center of the explosion has been blown to the periphery more than 100 meters, and there are obvious burn marks on the edge, indicating that the temperature of the explosion is still very high.

One of the members of the group was an explosives expert, who immediately made an estimate based on the situation at the scene, "The explosion is almost equivalent to 200 tons of TNT." ”

"When we get the video taken by the drone, we can make an estimate together."

"Judging by the situation around the perimeter, the power will not exceed 300 tons of TNT."

Wang Baichuan listened and nodded.

The reactors they arranged weighed more than three tons, but most of them were outer compression units, and only a small fraction of the main reaction material inside.

"If the reaction is adequate, theoretically the explosion will be more than 10,000 tons of TNT," he told the others. ”

"The response was inadequate."

"But that's exactly what we want to see......"

Wang Baichuan couldn't help laughing when he said it.

It is normal for the nuclear reaction to be insufficient, just like a conventional atomic bomb, the reaction will also be very insufficient, and the reaction adequacy of the hydrogen bomb is much higher than that of the atomic bomb.

In other words, the sufficiency of a fusion reaction is much higher than that of a nuclear fission reaction.

Nuclear weapons are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the most basic product is the well-known atomic bomb, it is nuclear fission as the main energy release method, mainly gun type and implosion type two configurations, but no matter what the configuration, it is the use of explosives explosion to compress uranium-235, plutonium 239 and other nuclear charges, so that it reaches a critical mass, so that the chain nuclear fission reaction occurs, and finally releases huge energy instantly.

The structure of the BR/> atomic bomb is very simple compared to the hydrogen bomb.

As long as a medium-sized country obtains sufficient nuclear materials, it can basically guarantee the creation of an atomic bomb, so the atomic bomb is also known as the entry bomb of nuclear weapons, but the entry bomb is the same as the entry kung fu, and it is impossible to have much power by nature.

If you want to increase the power of the atomic bomb, you must constantly add nuclear materials and explosives, but the utilization rate of fissile material in the core of the atomic bomb is very low, and it is usually difficult to exceed 40%.

For example, the Hiroshima bomb was filled with 64 kilograms of uranium-235, but only about 600 grams actually fissioned, and even the Nagasaki atomic bomb, which had a more efficient implosion structure, had just 20% of its nuclear material utilization.

At present, the most powerful atomic bomb in the world is the MK18 atomic bomb tested by Amriken in the 50s during the Ivy Program.

The atomic bomb had a TNT yield of nearly 500,000 tons, but weighed a whopping 7.8 tons.

By comparison, Amricon's B83 thermonuclear bomb weighs less than 1.1 tons, but has an explosive yield of 1.2 million tons.

This is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb.

The hydrogen bomb uses deuterium-tritium materials, and the fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium can release huge energy, and the reaction will be very sufficient, and the power of the explosion is naturally very large.

Now, they're doing deuterium-deuterium reaction research.

The energy released by the deuterium-deuterium reaction is an order of magnitude lower than that of the deuterium-tritium reaction, and the environment required for the reaction is more harsh, so it is naturally difficult to achieve a full reaction.

However, the response is not sufficient, so that it can be sustainable and controllable.

If the material is placed in a container, the reaction can only be continued if it is not sufficient, otherwise the reaction will be completed in one go, and even if it can be effectively controlled, it will no longer be sustainable.

A controlled nuclear reaction is about keeping the reaction going.

For example, low-abundance nuclear reactors used in nuclear power plants can continue to operate for more than a decade or decades.

"The results of the experiment are now close to expectations."

"What a success!"

Wang Baichuan explained his work with anticipation, "Summarize the experimental data." After we go back, we will demonstrate the density of the material, and the next time we will reduce the density of the material, and try to find the critical line of the reaction. ”

……

At the same time.

The F-ray experiment group is also summarizing the gains.

They use F-ray generation equipment with a built-in micro-nuclear reactor, and the release of F-rays at a fixed point can also be counted as experiments.

From the first fixation to the final ignition, they carried out a total of seven release experiments, and at the same time used a large number of fine equipment for data detection, and also had a more detailed understanding of the release distance, time and intensity of F-rays.

Wrap-up meeting.

Liu Yunli talked about the data, "This time the release distance is about 211 kilometers, and the ray is cylindrical with a diameter of 1.13 centimeters. ”

"Release port ray intensity 7.8 multiplier."

"Judging by the ignition reaction, at the 211 km position, the intensity did not decrease significantly."

"From this point of view, we judged that the maximum distance covered by the radiation release was more than 500 kilometers, which is nearly double the ...... of the No. 3 device."

"At the same time, we accurately measured the duration of 1.192 seconds."

When this data came out, Liao Jianguo's face also showed a smile, "1.192 seconds, more than ten times longer than the initial less than 0.1 seconds!" ”

"It is now certain that there is a direct positive correlation between the intensity of the internal energy and the duration of the rays."

"After the meeting, everyone will make a summary, and we will write a report."

Everyone else nodded.

After Liu Yunli finished his report, he thought about a question.

The release of the F-ray is just a point, a ray, and now it has a duration, but the benefit of duration does not seem to be great.

If the F-ray is regarded as a kind of energy wave, rather than a purely special field force, the persistence of the present itself indicates that its energy intensity has increased greatly.

Does an increase in energy intensity mean an increase in coverage?

After the meeting ended, Liu Yunli found Liao Jianguo and talked about his thoughts, "Director Liao, when we release F-rays, can we try to increase the magnetic field gap?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Liao Jianguo didn't react at the first time.

Liu Yunli said, "F-ray discovery up to now, our release port is to open a point of the spiral magnetic field, and now a built-in nuclear reactor, can we open two points, three points, or demonstrate the opening of a small arc gap to release the rays?" ”

"This ......"

Of course, Liao Jianguo couldn't answer.

But he thought about it carefully along the train of thought, and suddenly couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You mean that the released F-rays can present a fan, not just a line?" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Yun nodded with his strength.

Both of them breathed heavily.

If the 'fan-shaped' release can be realized, it will definitely be a huge improvement in the F-ray generation technology.

Now the release of F-rays is just a line, and it is a point aimed at the target, and it is only a line when it is extended.

The release distance of the F-ray reaches hundreds of kilometers, and if you want to hit a point hundreds of kilometers away, the probability of hitting a hit is too small and too small.

The ignition of the nuclear fusion reaction is also carried out in advance by the F-ray release experiment, and then the material is placed at a fixed point to be accurately ignited.

In other words, the utility of F-rays is not high.

If two notches are opened, three notches, or if the notch is designed as an arc, the f-ray will be released as a fan, not just a line.

Even if the arc of the sector is very small, the angle between the straight lines on both sides is only 0.1 degrees, and the arc length formed by extending hundreds of kilometers away can easily reach several hundred meters.

In this way, the strike range of the F-ray changed from a point to a line of several hundred meters.

What if it goes further?

From a tiny arc to a tiny circle, the coverage of a few hundred kilometers away changes from a line of a few hundred meters to a surface with a diameter of several hundred meters.

When the time comes, will the hit still be a problem?

Liao Jianguo gasped after thinking about it, and immediately said, "Professor Liu, your idea is very good, I absolutely support it, but the specifics ......"

"Why don't you ask Academician Wang?"

"Yes!"

Liu Yunli and Liao Jianguo went to the office together, and immediately used computer equipment to contact Wang Hao, and they used a special network of confidentiality.

The lines are directly connected to the computer, and there is no need to connect to the external network, and the security is still very reliable.

Wang Hao just learned that Wang Baichuan's experiment was successful, even if it was expected, he was still happy, and after listening to the report, he was about to go downstairs for a walk, but he was called back by Chen Mengmeng when he walked to the door of the building.

"Ray group?"

"Liu Yunli and Liao Jianguo?"

Chen Mengmeng briefly said the information.

After Wang Hao connected to the Internet, he listened to Liu Yunli on the other side talk about the latest ideas, and then he also fell into thinking, and it took a long time to make a judgment, "Your idea is very good, it is theoretically feasible." It's just that it requires a huge amount of built-in energy support. ”

"You've shown that there is a positive correlation between ray duration and built-in energy intensity."

"If it is to release the line and cover the surface, you can try it experimentally, I think it is possible to release successfully, but the release distance may be greatly affected."

"As for going further......"

"The current equipment is definitely not good, and it is estimated that nuclear fusion with a built-in high energy source is hopeful."

Liu Yunli didn't hear the latter words clearly.

He had the first 'doable' in his mind, and immediately responded, "Let's look into it." ”

"It's okay if the release distance is affected."

"Even if it only covers a few tens of kilometers, with this technology, it can be used for air defense at worst, and it will be the most advanced air defense weapon!"

Liu Yunli said excitedly, "Academician Wang, the practical application of F-ray technology is one of the purposes of our research!" ”

"Now there's hope!"
