Chapter 451: A New Stage in Nuclear Fusion Research, Masses: I Hope to See You in My Life!

Wang Hao didn't want to take over the moon round-trip trajectory correction project.

One is because the research is too complex.

If it is a direct mathematical problem, it is no problem to spend a few days helping to do research, but the moon landing program is very large, and the calculation of the trajectory of the spacecraft involves many problems, which are completed by dozens or hundreds of scientists.

This complexity is not something that can be solved in a short period of time.

In addition, the income is too low.

The results calculated by dozens or hundreds of scientists together, even if there are many approximate calculations in the middle, the approximate value and the exact value are definitely very close.

He took over the research and spent a lot of effort to correct the trajectory, and it didn't gain much compared to the original plan.

So Wang Hao had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good solution, "Mr. Zhao, you don't need to be so troublesome at all, you just need to replace the solar panels with higher performance." ”

This method made the corners of the mouth of several people who came pull straight up.

Yuan Zhifang smiled bitterly and said, "Academician Wang, of course we hope to have solar panels with higher performance......"

"The question is no!"

"The solar panels we use are already state-of-the-art, more efficient than those used on the space station."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Wang Hao was interested.

A researcher with knowledge of solar panel technology, named Cui Heping, said, "We use three-junction gallium arsenide panels. ”

"The three-junction gallium arsenide panel is currently the most advanced and most efficient solar panel in the world. For example, on our space station, we use flexible triple-junction gallium arsenide panels, with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 30%, and four solar panels, with a total area of 134 square meters, and a power supply efficiency of more than 100 kilowatts. ”

"In recent years, the technology of three-junction gallium arsenide battery panels has been improved. The photoelectric conversion rate of the solar panels used in the lunar module exceeds 31%, which has reached the bottleneck ...... of the current technology."

Cui Heping said a lot in a row.

One of the problems he highlighted was that the solar panels they use are already some of the most advanced in the world.

He also made a comparison, "The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the panels on the International Space Station is only 23%, while ours is 31% ......"

Wang Hao suddenly became confident when he heard this.

He doesn't know much about solar panel technology, and he can't be sure that solar panels made of new advanced materials will have higher photoelectric conversion efficiency than top technology.

Now I know for sure.

Wang Hao said with a smile, "We have a research result that has not yet been made public, but we can disclose it to you in advance, we have discovered the advanced silicon element and detected higher electron activity." ”

"To put it simply, solar panels made of upgraded silicon elements will have a high photoelectric conversion rate......

"How high it is, we still need to experiment."

This news immediately surprised several people, and they finally knew why Wang Hao talked about solar panels.

If solar panels with a higher photoelectric conversion rate can be manufactured, the auxiliary energy of the lunar module can be directly increased.

Even if the conversion rate is only 1% higher, there is a high probability that the benefits will be greater than the correction trajectory.

Wang Hao continued, "Solar panels are only one aspect, there are other solutions, you can all consider it. ”

"Like, materials."

"The Superconducting Materials Research Center developed a special new material last month, which has a higher resistivity than silver but lower than copper at room temperature."

"What's more, the material has a transition temperature of up to 201 K."

"In addition, the material has the characteristic that the closer it gets to the transition temperature, the lower its resistance will be, and the reduction is much greater than that of ordinary metal conductor materials."

"I think you can replace some circuits with this new material, which will reduce the energy loss of the circuit......"

Wang Hao listened for a moment, and then continued, "Also, we are working on a dense material technology, which produces materials with higher density and more active electromagnetic properties. ”

"You can consider using this new type of dense material for some of the components."

"Of course, this technology is not perfect, we are still working on it, but the moon landing is not a ...... that can be carried out this year."

……

Mr. Zhao, Yuan Zhifang and others walked out of the Mason Mathematics Laboratory Building together.

Their expressions were still a little dazed.

Everyone's expressions were complicated, and after walking together for a long time, they heard Yuan Zhifang sigh, "We seem to be lagging behind?" ”

The others remained silent.

The moon landing program is a big project, and it is the goal that the space agency has been working towards, involving hundreds or thousands of scientists.

Since the Apollo moon landing program, no country has successfully landed on the moon, and they have already built a lunar module, and most of the other supporting research has been completed.

Preparations are already underway for the moon landing.

Every scholar involved in such a huge project will think that they are at the forefront of science and technology, but when they come to Xihai University, they find that they seem to be lagging behind.

Faced with the problem of energy shortage, all they think of is to correct the trajectory.

There's no way around it.

As a result, the problem was put in front of Wang Hao, and he said several solutions in a row, and each solution involved quite advanced technology.

"When I heard Academician Wang talk about the latest research results just now, I felt that I was about to be eliminated by the times......

"We don't even know that."

"I felt the same way, I thought our technology was the most advanced, but it turned out that there were so many high-end materials......"

"Hey~~"

Mr. Zhao said, "That is, when I come to Academician Wang, I will have this feeling, Academician Wang has been researching the most advanced technology, and we are just doing engineering." ”

This sentence is very standard and true.

Wang Hao is engaged in the research of annihilation physics, with annihilation technology and superconducting technology, he is researching the most cutting-edge technology, and the space agency is using existing technology to realize engineering.

The nature of the two is not the same.

Of course, the good news is that Mr. Zhao and his party have gained a lot, and they know how to solve the problem.

The other side.

After Mr. Zhao and his entourage left, Wang Hao immediately checked the latest report submitted, and there was a lot of data on the research of first-order silicon.

One of the main applications of silicon is in the manufacture of solar panels.

First-order silicon will naturally also do experiments on photoelectric conversion rate, and in the laboratory environment, first-order silicon achieves a photoelectric conversion rate of 41%.

Wang Hao was immediately relieved, "The laboratory environment can achieve a conversion rate of 41%, and the conversion rate of the manufactured solar panels can also exceed 35%. ”

"Tri-junction gallium arsenide is indeed a very good material, and the theoretical conversion rate can reach up to 50%, but the theory is only a theory after all, and the practical application can exceed 30% is already remarkable."

"The upper limit of first-order elemental silicon is only about 45%, which is a little lower, but the application effect is good; The theoretical upper limit of gallium arsenide is high, but the actual conversion rate is not high......"

"In the most cutting-edge applications, the effect of first-order silicon is better."

……

& In the following period, material technology at home and abroad flourished.

The material research and development institutions of various countries seem to have started the material research and development competition related to first-order iron and first-order lithium.

If you pay attention to academic journals in the field of materials, relevant new materials appear almost every day, and teams are constantly updating their results.

But the initiative in the race is in the hands of Annihilation Tech.

Whether it is first-order iron or first-order lithium, it can only be bought by annihilation technology companies.

Wang Hao's research has also made some progress, and the biggest breakthrough in the annihilation force field experimental group is to prove the existence of the 'radiation critical point' of the material.

They mainly focused on 'gold' to carry out research, and found that the 'radiation critical point' of pure gold is about 6.7 times, and the closer the annihilation force field strength is to 6.7 times, the lower the radiation intensity of the dense pure gold produced.

At the same time, they have produced dense pure gold with extremely weak radiation.

The radiation is extremely weak, that is, it does almost no harm to the human body, so it can be used as a conventional material.

The bad news is that they also determined that the 'future element' of first-order iron could not eliminate the radiation properties it possessed.

However, research must also be carried out around the 'future element' of first-order iron.

One of the characteristics of the 'Future Element' is that it does not produce specific phenomena, and deliberate phenomena are the biggest obstacle to the creation of annihilation fields by the Ascending Elementals.

"Conventional first-order iron and first-order lithium are affected by specific phenomena and cannot be used to create high-intensity DC annihilation force fields, but 'future elements' can."

"So we have to continue our research in this direction......"

"We can try to study iron isotopes, and maybe we can create a future iron element without radiation."

The investment in this research is very large, and it is aimed at DC strong annihilation force field technology.

In the future, the elements will not be affected by specific phenomena, and they will be able to replace the high-voltage hybrid materials currently used, creating a high-strength DC strong annihilation force.

DC strong annihilation force field technology is important because it can be used to manufacture advanced materials on a large scale.

No matter how high the intensity of F-rays is, because the coverage area is extremely limited, the materials manufactured are still too little and too little, and now the impact is mainly radiation, and many experiments will have safety risks, but the research must be carried out step by step.

On the other hand.

The F-ray experiment team also stabilized the new equipment, and they also tried to make a fan-shaped F-ray release, but unfortunately the experiment still failed.

Wang Hao believes that to release the fan-shaped F-rays, it is necessary to re-demonstrate the internal spiral magnetic field, that is, to create new equipment, and at the same time to increase the strength of the energy of the built-in nuclear reactor.

The material testing is very rewarding.

The high-intensity F-rays produce several higher-order elements, including mercury, tungsten, copper, and hydrogen in addition to silicon.

The discoveries of silicon and copper are both heavyweight.

The magnetized silicon material contains a very high level of first-order silicon, and its immediate application is to help the space agency make new solar panels.

The discovery of first-order copper is also important.

First-order copper is more active, and its resistance is much lower than that of silver, almost close to 'zero resistance', and it is even thought to replace superconducting materials.

Unfortunately, the first-order copper content in magnetized copper materials is very low.

In addition, the manufacture of magnetized materials by F-rays cannot be mass-produced at all, and each time the first-order copper is manufactured, it must be used as a unit of 'milligrams'.

Therefore, if the upgraded materials want to be developed and applied in large quantities, they must still rely on DC annihilation force field technology to achieve large-scale manufacturing.

When it comes to the manufacture of advanced materials, F-rays can only be classified as 'laboratory means'.

……

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The Science and Technology Department once again organized a meeting of the Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Project.

The meeting was very important, even conclusive, and many scholars who were deeply involved in the project believed that the fusion project was about to enter the next stage.

This is also the case.

The project demonstration meeting was very unusual at the beginning, but the meeting led by the science and technology department came with several top decision-makers.

The conference also closely followed the focus of scientific research at home and abroad, and half of it was a demonstration of advanced material technology.

Wang Hao made a speech at the meeting, he talked about the breakthrough in dense material technology, and also briefly introduced the technology related to nuclear fusion containers.

Although it was only a brief introduction, the inner anti-gravity field, the outer thin layer of strong annihilation force field, coupled with high-end material technology and magnetic field demonstration, made all the scholars in the venue listen to it with relish.

They all feel that they have seen new technologies and are more confident in the fusion project.

The project demonstration meeting did not determine anything, but after the meeting, a series of related meetings were held, including technical meetings in various directions, and most scholars attended at least two conferences.

Wang Hao and his peers Tang Jianjun, Wang Ye and others participated in many meetings in a row, including meetings of high-level decision-makers.

After that, the project is determined to move on to the next stage - design.

A super project will be divided into three phases, the first stage is the demonstration, and the second stage is the design.

Finally, it's manufacturing.

The first two stages involve a large number of experiments, and it is uncertain how long it will take to really enter the manufacturing process.

Take, for example, the Manhattan Project.

It took several years from demonstration to design before the Manhattan Project was formalized and the first atomic bomb was built.

After it is determined that the project has entered the design stage, it also involves the allocation of experiments, R&D and the formulation of the promotion plan, and of course, the personnel arrangement.

Wang Hao was appointed chief designer of the nuclear fusion engineering project.

Tang Jianjun, Wang Ye and Zhou Dongwei of the Institute of Nuclear Physics were appointed as deputy chief designers, and there were more than a dozen academicians and a large number of institutions to participate in the cooperation.

Wang Hao served as the chief designer of the project, and his job was mainly to lead the team to complete the overall design of the nuclear fusion device.

When design involves a certain technology, it needs other scientists and institutions to assist in research.

The nuclear fusion engineering project is very large, and after the project officially enters the design stage, it has also attracted much attention, and many scholars are discussing the timing of device design.

The question is straightforward.

For example, the design of high-end fighter jets often spans several years.

Nuclear fusion devices are countless times more complex than high-end fighter jets, and the number of people involved is also very large, how long does it take to design the specific device?

"Normally, this kind of research takes at least five years or more."

"Academician Wang Hao must be different from others, it is estimated that three or four years will be enough? There are so many technologies involved, and so many things to consider. ”

"Such a complex research is only possible with Academician Wang."

"Three or four years? At that time, the design will be completed and it will be the manufacturing stage, and it will take at least ten years to complete the project, right? ”

"The three countries have been building an aircraft carrier for more than 20 years, and our speed is fast and efficient, but ...... Decade? ”

"I think it's great to be able to do it in 20 years."

"I hope to see ...... in my lifetime"
