"Even in the world, including us, tritium self-sustaining with controlled nuclear fusion is at a somewhat embarrassing level. Although in the past 30 years, scientists have continued to work hard to achieve the tritium recovery rate from 70% to about 94% of our current level through various programs. But obviously, this recovery rate would have to be infinitely close to 100% for controlled fusion to become a true one-penny electricity bill. ”

Ye Ming briefly talked about the importance of two sentences - of course everyone present knew it, but the report of this meeting was for the relevant leaders, so he said two more words. (Actually, it's ^_^ for the reader leader)

"Based on this run, it was verified that our previous tritium proliferation protocol was feasible. But it also validates our previous predictions, which means that if we continue to improve on the current protocol, 95% of the breed recovery rate is the upper limit. ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a new scheme that is different from the traditional liquid lithium-containing metal and solid-state lithium-containing ceramics as a breeding technology."

As Ye Ming turned the PPT, a new scheme was displayed on the display screen: "This is the design of using lithium silicate spheres for proliferation based on Aita supercomputer, and after special treatment of lithium silicate, it may reach a value-added recovery rate of 98% in the prediction." ”

"If we increase the temperature and control the proportion of deuterium and tritium, then we can achieve 120 times the Q value - coupled with the excellent power generation system of the National Nuclear Corporation, if we maintain a 15% gross profit margin, then the grid-connected price can be about 3 cents."

Chief Engineer Luo laughed: "You wear a high hat, if you can't do these 3 cents by then, won't the people want to settle accounts with me?" ”

Someone below laughed: "is also looking for the State Grid, not for power plants." ”

Chief Engineer Luo nodded: "That's right."

At the end, he sighed: "It's a pity that even if the value of tritium is 98% now, there are still not a few that can be built, unless it can be 99.99%." ”

Ye Ming smiled: "Anyway, walking on two legs, don't worry." ”

"Well, there's no hurry, you continue."

"Okay, after talking about tritium appreciation, let's move on to helium-3 fusion."

"In the plan announced by NASA, they did not mention the use of controlled fusion reactions as engines, and they did not consider controlled fusion reactions as direct power a mature technology."

"Because the product of the most mature deuterium-tritium reaction theory is high-energy neutrons, I think...... No matter how bold Musk is, he doesn't dare to let the engine butt spray neutron beams, right? ”

Everyone laughed.

Because the neutron is electrically neutral, it will not be "blocked", so it is fast and penetrating, and has strong radiation, which is why the previous tokamak fusion reactor was constrained by a super strong magnetic field.

"So we have reason to guess that the air-space fusion engine in the west is just using controlled nuclear fusion as an energy source, and it is essentially electric propulsion."

"But helium-3 fusion is different, in addition to being used for energy generation, it can also be used as a propulsion engine - mainly to solve high-energy proton radiation, or dilute high-energy proton radiation."

Ye Ming exhaled softly.

"I have a not-so-mature idea about these two points."

As he spoke, Ye Ming turned the next page.

All eyes are on the picture.

This is a complex surface space formula.

"Didn't we talk about confinement traps in different spatial arrays a month ago, which produce unequal super-strong wave fields? Later, I followed this line of thought and designed a multi-wave field array. By calculating, the gravitational field generated by the array can realize the phenomenon of space film. ”

Ye Ming pursed his lips, his eyes were extremely bright.

This formula was actually "stolen" by him from the antimatter restraint device!

In essence, it is a "magic modification" of the antimatter restraint device.

"In the ignition stage, the plasma slurry of helium-3 will continue to collide with the membrane wall, obtain strong empowerment and pressure, and produce fusion, and because the reaction channel is curved, the protons will continue to collide, and then the temperature will be raised, so that the reaction will continue at the same time, and proton capture will also be carried out at the low latitude of the curved space to complete proton power generation."

"The First Evolution"

"Finally, when the proton reaches the end of the curved space, we add a magnetic field to restrain the proton, and finally complete the deceleration and harmless treatment of the proton, and complete the power push."

After Ye Ming finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "This is what I can think of, the only option for the sea of stars before the human race masters the antimatter engine and the curvature engine." ”

After a minute, there was a pause in applause.

Everyone withdrew their gaze from the screen.

Anyway, I won't be able to understand it for a while, so I'll save it for later.

Even if Ye Ming's "immature ideas" are very reliable - it turns out that his ideas have always been very reliable.

But there is also the biggest problem, which is the source of helium-3.

Although helium-3 fusion has long become the "ultimate fusion" in the mouth of popular science authors, and the helium-3 on the moon alone is enough for human beings for 6,000 years......

However, that was on the moon.

On Earth, helium-3 in nature is approximately equal to nothing.

So how does helium-3 come about?

Building factories on the moon? Developing the Moon?

Sounds great, but how do you take that first step?

Using the Long March 5 to send machinery and equipment?

I'm afraid I'm not crazy......

It's so hard to build a space station, and it takes a lunar factory to build it, and I don't know how much money it will burn.

And once it is built, mining, analysis, refining, and transportation are all troubles.

To put it bluntly, this is no less difficult than human "migration" to the moon.

Ye Ming obviously knew what everyone was thinking.

He exhaled softly and smiled slightly.

"You have to go up first, even if you build a workshop, as long as you can complete the fusion reactor self-sustaining reaction, it will not be a loss."

Beside him, Professor Huo Liang was silent, and after a few seconds, he looked at Ye Ming: "Can Aita complete the control of the entire production process under the delay of one second, including collection, analysis, and refining?" ”

Everyone was in high spirits and looked at the prototype standing aside.

At this time, Ye Ming was carrying a sensor, and she was Yin Ta.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yin Ta nodded reservedly and bent slightly.

"I think I can."

……

Three days later, the West officially put forward a plan to form a next-generation science and technology alliance organization with the G7 as the core - SA and SCE, and the two houses also began to review the five trillion plan.

Affected by this news, the U.S. stock market, which had been in the doldrums for a month, began to recover.

At the same time, a certain two aircraft carriers began to appear frequently, and military exercises continued.

…… (You guys make up for the rest, I don't dare to write anyway)

June 1.

Ye Ming took Yin Ta and He Mo on the high-speed train to the capital.

He's going to attend a meeting on how to deal with "Future Plans" with the tech sector.

In the compartment of the train.

Different from He Mo's excitement, Ye Ming looked helplessly at the push that occupied the headlines of various social media.

——"High-tech Helps National Defense, the First Batch of Mechanical Warriors of Our Army"

That's ...... Wouldn't it be a direct acknowledgment that Jizhi Technology is an arms company?

(Ah, that's all for tonight, four for tomorrow...... ）
