Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time, Ye Fei has been researching controlled nuclear fusion at the Institute of Nuclear Energy Physics.

Although Ye Fei has never studied energy, nor has he studied controlled nuclear fusion, nor has he studied any research on nuclear.

But Ye Fei's achievements in the fields of mathematics and physics are very high, and his research is very deep.

Therefore, Ye Fei is confident in studying controlled nuclear fusion.

Ye Fei believes that controlled nuclear fusion is similar to the nuclear weapons of the past.

At that time, no one in the country knew about nuclear weapons, but in the end they figured it out.

And the same is true for controlled nuclear fusion, Ye Fei doesn't understand controlled nuclear fusion, but Ye Fei understands mathematics and physics, and he believes that he can figure it out.

Ye Feixin said: "Besides, the situation is much better now than it was back then." ”

"I don't know about controlled nuclear fusion, and I can ask someone to consult."

"And those ancestors back then, no one consulted."

"They were able to develop an atomic bomb in such a difficult environment."

"And I'm in such a good environment, if I can't study controlled nuclear fusion, I can't say it."

"Of course, controlled nuclear fusion is much more difficult than an atomic bomb, and the two cannot be compared."

"But no matter how difficult it is, I have to develop controlled nuclear fusion."

Ye Fei Office!

Ye Fei sat on the office chair, looking ahead with his eyes shining.

In the past few years, he has researched theoretical mathematics, and then developed Web 3.0, Li-Fi, blockchain, metaverse, quantum computers, carbon-based chips, and so on.

But these studies are only a foundation for the country in terms of networking.

It doesn't matter if it exists for any country, because they are not core need elements.

It's like the Internet, if the network doesn't exist, everyone just doesn't go online.

"But energy is different!" Ye Feixin said: "Energy is an essential element of human development. ”

"Many industries can't grow without energy."

"Controlled nuclear fusion is electricity, and it is impossible for humans to live without electricity."

"If there was no electricity, the whole country would have entered the age of slavery."

"So, controlled nuclear fusion is much more important than both quantum computers and the metaverse."

"Any country that controls controlled nuclear fusion technology will surely become the world's number one."

Ye Fei looked at the literature on the computer in front of him, and said in his heart: "According to my research during this time, I almost understand some controllable nuclear fusion. ”

"Nuclear energy is released in two forms: heavy nuclear fission and light nuclear fusion."

"Nuclear fission produces long-lived radioactive waste, which can be harmful to the human body."

"Nuclear fusion, on the other hand, is a form of nuclear reactor that produces very little emission waste and is not harmful to the human body."

"Nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, a very light nucleus and a lot of energy."

"If the fusion reaction can be produced and carried out in a controlled manner within the fixed confinement zone according to people's intentions."

"It is possible to achieve a controlled fusion reaction."

"Therefore, before the completion of nuclear fusion nuclear power plants, the development of nuclear fusion reactor intermediate applications and the scientific verification of their feasibility is the only way to successfully develop and utilize fusion energy."

"It's still a regular routine."

"Theory first, then application."

"Only after the theory comes out, can we study and apply."

"As President Xu said, there are still many difficulties to be overcome in China in terms of controlled nuclear fusion."

"According to the understanding of many people I have consulted during this time, countries around the world, controlled nuclear fusion is still in the stage of theoretical exploration."

"So, at this stage, I should find a project to explore the theoretical stage first."

"Microwave Technology, Remote Operation Technology, Large-scale Cryogenic Technology, Advanced Diagnostic Technology, Large-scale Power Supply Technology and Reactor Materials, Experimental Cladding, Tritium Process and Nuclear Fusion Safety ......"

Ye Fei's mind flashed through the few unsolved key technologies that Dean Xu said.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Fei's right fist clenched suddenly, and said, "That's it, nuclear fusion is safe." ”

The reason why Ye Fei chose nuclear fusion safety is because it is more difficult among several technologies, but it is not the highest.

The key is that studying the safety of nuclear fusion can give Ye Fei an understanding of all the technologies of controlled nuclear fusion.

After a while, Ye Fei picked up the phone on the table and called Dean Xu, saying, "Dean Xu, I have chosen the technology I am researching. ”

"I want to work on fusion safety technology."

When Dean Xu heard this, he said, "Nuclear fusion safety technology is a good research direction, and it is also very suitable for you. ”

"Are you sure? If it's OK, you can't change it. ”

"No change." Ye Feidao: "Just study nuclear fusion safety technology. ”

"Good!" Dean Xu said: "You write an application report and send it to me, and I will help you pass it to the above, and after the above review is passed, the Institute of Nuclear Energy Physics will start researching!" ”

"Okay!"

A week later, Ye Fei wrote the application report and sent it to Dean Xu.

After receiving it, Dean Xu submitted it to the above.

Above is the Xia National Academy of Sciences!

Half a month later, the above review passed.

Institute of Nuclear Energy Physics, Lecture Hall!

There was a lot of room in the lecture hall, where everyone in the institute sits.

Ye Fei sat on the stage, looked at the crowd below, and said, "Everyone, after my three months of research, I have determined the research direction. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ye Fei with anticipation.

They've been here for more than half a year, and they usually have nothing to do, but now they finally have something to do.

Ye Feidao: "Nuclear fusion safety is one of the most unsolved key technologies in controlled nuclear fusion, and we will study this technology in the future." ”

Many people frowned slightly when they heard this!

Nuclear fusion safety, of course, they know what kind of technology it is.

Nuclear fusion safety is the development of technology for the safe operation of all nuclear fusion technologies.

Fusion-safe technology is the equivalent of a membrane outside nuclear fusion, encapsulating all technologies and enabling them to operate safely.

If you want to develop safe technology for nuclear fusion, you need to know all the techniques for controlled nuclear fusion.

You don't have to know these technologies very deeply, but you need to be familiar with them, and some of the few technologies need to be understood deeply.

Therefore, researching nuclear fusion safety technology is not only difficult, but also very cumbersome.

Ye Feidao: "To study nuclear fusion safety technology, the first thing we need to do is to find a research direction. ”

"What kind of technology should we use to study nuclear fusion safety technology?"

Many people let out a long breath in their hearts, since Ye Fei wanted to study nuclear fusion safety technology, then they could only follow.

Although it is cumbersome, there is Ye Fei, and it can definitely be studied.

Who made their director Ye Fei!

Next, Ye Fei talked about some research on nuclear fusion safety technology.

His research on nuclear fusion safety technology does not have any direction for the time being.

Therefore, he also only talked about some basic things.

After a long time, the meeting ended!

In the following time, the entire research institute took action and began to study the research direction of nuclear fusion safety technology.

The entire institute consists of five hundred and thirty-seven people, divided into ten groups, each with its own laboratory, and each group has at least fifty researchers.

Conference room!

Ye Fei sat in the first seat, and there were twenty researchers sitting below, who were the principal and deputy leaders of each group.

After more than three months of research, each group had their own ideas.

So, Ye Fei gathered them together and wanted to hear their thoughts.

"I think that short-pulse laser technology should be used as a research direction." A long-faced team leader said.

Short-pulse laser technology, the full name is tokamak nuclear fusion ultrashort pulse laser induction technology.

The advantage of this technology is that the first wall of the plasma can withstand the bombardment of the steady-state or transient heat flow and particle flow of the plasma in the core without damage.

This is a technology with super stability.

When controlled nuclear fusion is operating, it is inevitable that there will be a nuclear element shock.

Using short-pulse laser technology, the impact of nuclear elements can be blocked.

"No way!" A square-faced team leader shook his head and said, "Although the short-pulse laser technology can block the impact of plasma. ”

"However, it has a fatal flaw."

"It affects the high-parameter long-pulse operation of the plasma, which affects the operation of controlled nuclear fusion."

The long-faced team leader was very unconvinced: "Although it has some impact on controlled nuclear fusion, the impact is not very large, and we can completely overcome it." ”

The square-faced team leader shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, the research on controlled nuclear fusion is a very rigorous research. ”

"We don't know anything about controlled fusion at the moment, so there shouldn't be any risks associated with any research."

"I think Lao Yang is right." A round-faced team leader said: "We should not use risky technologies to research, and the nuclear fusion safety technology developed in this way is not safe to use." ”

"Yes, I agree!"

"I agree too!"

“……”

Many team leaders agreed.

Seeing that so many people supported this statement, the long-faced team leader sighed in his heart, his face was full of unconvinced, he looked at the square-faced team leader, and said, "Old Yang, then what technology do you say to use." ”

"I look at the first-principles study with the properties of tungsten alloy plasma." The square-faced group leader said.

"First principles of the properties of tungsten alloys in plasma?" Many frowned slightly.

The first-principles properties of tungsten alloy plasma have attracted attention in the nuclear fusion circle all over the world.

This is a plasma-oriented material, in which tungsten alloy has the characteristics of high melting point, high temperature and high mechanical strength, high self-sputtering threshold energy, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, low tritium (chuān) retention and high resistance to plasma erosion.

It is also considered one of the most desirable materials for fusion power management systems.

"No way!" At this time, someone immediately retorted: "If you use the first principles of the properties of plasma tungsten alloy to study." ”

"The most important thing is how to study the first wall material of high-temperature plasma."

"We haven't developed this material yet."

"Moreover, the pure tungsten metal has relatively poor radiation stability and fracture toughness, low ductility and high toughness transition temperature."

"In particular, the entry of intrinsic impurities and transmutation products into tungsten metal materials will seriously affect the mechanical properties and structural strength of tungsten metal."

"Therefore, I do not recommend using first-principles techniques for the properties of plasma-tungsten alloys."

"Lao Zhou is right, the first-principles technology of plasma tungsten alloy properties also has shortcomings."

"Well, yes!"

"Yes, that's right!"

“……”

Many people agree with Lao Zhou's statement.

"Do you want to study plasma resistance and plasma flow internal distortion technology?" At this time, a round-faced team leader said.

In tokamak plasma, an internal twist mode is a special twist mode that occurs on a p=1 magnetic plane.

Lao Zhou shook his head and said, "No! ”

"You don't know the instability of the inner warp mold."

The round-faced team leader argued, "Although the inner warp is unstable, it can be stabilized by magnetic confinement fusion." ”

Lao Zhou glanced at the round-faced team leader and said: "Magnetic confinement fusion makes it stable, so magnetic confinement fusion should focus on internal distortion mode." ”

"It's equivalent to putting part of the efficacy of magnetic confinement fusion at the service of the internal warping mode."

"It's a bit detrimental to controlled nuclear fusion."

The round-faced team leader still didn't give up and said: "The effect of that little bit is almost negligible for magnetic confinement fusion as a whole." ”

Lao Zhou shook his head and said: "I still say the same thing, controllable nuclear fusion is a very rigorous research, and no mistakes can occur." ”

"Therefore, I do not recommend using plasma resistance and plasma flow inward twisting techniques."

The round-faced team leader said with a somewhat ugly face: "Then you say, what good research direction can you think of?" ”

The round-faced team leader was very unconvinced, Lao Zhou refused this, rejected that, but he did not propose any research direction.

Everyone present looked at Lao Zhou and wanted to know what good research direction Lao Zhou had.

Lao Zhou said: "I think it should be studied with distribution network load technology. ”

"Distribution network load?" Everyone present was thoughtful.

Lao Zhou said: "The energy generated by controlled nuclear fusion is generally converted into electrical energy, so a rigorous power grid is needed to control the electric energy. ”

"And the distribution load technology is just the technology that can control the power grid."

"If you combine a distribution load with tokamak fusion technology, you can create a stable current and facilitate the operation of pulsed fusion."

"The most important thing is that there are no shortcomings in this technology."

"So, I recommend using distribution load technology."

When the people heard this, their faces were again full of contemplation.

After a few moments, many people nodded slightly, agreeing with the plan.

What they need to look for now is a solution that has no drawbacks.

Moreover, this scheme can facilitate the development of controlled nuclear fusion.

Lao Zhou looked at Ye Fei and said, "Director, what do you say!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei frowned slightly and said: "It's not impossible to study the power distribution load technology, we can try." ”

When Lao Zhou heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"But ......," Ye Fei said, "if you take the distribution load technology as the research direction." ”

"So, I propose to use particle technology in it, which is beneficial for the study of controlled nuclear fusion changes."

"Particle technology?" Everyone is at a loss and does not know why particle technology should be added to the distribution load technology.

Although the two technologies are related, they are not very related.

Ye Fei saw everyone's blank appearance and said with a smile: "I used to do an experiment in the medium-sized accelerator of the Xia National Institute of Physics. ”

"Experiments have shown that the particles are controllable."

"It also allowed me to develop carbon-based chips."

"What?" The crowd exclaimed, "Are the particles controllable? ”

It is common knowledge in physics that particles are uncontrollable.

But Ye Fei now told them that the particles were controllable.

Although reason told them that Ye Fei would not lie to them.

But how is this possible, how can particles be controllable?

Ye Fei looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and said with a faint smile: "You heard it right, the particles are controllable." ”

"If this technology is used in distribution load technology, it will be very beneficial for the study of controlled nuclear fusion."

"In this way, we can allow the nuclear particles in controlled nuclear fusion to run in an orderly manner."

Everyone nodded blankly.

If the particles are really controllable, then the addition of particle control technology to the distribution load technology can control the nuclear particles in controlled nuclear fusion.

In this way, the study of controlled nuclear fusion will be greatly reduced.

Ye Fei said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's be sure like this!" ”

"The distribution load technology and particle controllable technology are the research direction of nuclear fusion safety technology."

"Adjournment!"

After speaking, Ye Fei stood up and walked outside.

The rest of the people looked at each other blankly, and then walked out of the conference room as well.
