Chapter 677: Starmigrant
"Hmph."
Hearing Academician Gong Yuanzu's merciless words, Academician Peng Houjue shook his head at this time and said:
"Who said that I want to propose the technology development line of Xiaoshan hydrogen explosion nuclear fusion power station, the technology development line I want to propose is the same inertial confinement laser ignition technology development line as Medigo.
Bombarding the target directly with a powerful laser, detonating only a few milligrams of the target pill equivalent to 100 kilograms of TNT, and finally using this fusion energy to generate electricity.
Our Daxia is not weaker than the entire West in terms of laser technology, and we are more than ten years ahead of the West in laser crystal technology!
Therefore, we are actually the most qualified to take the development line of inertial confinement laser ignition technology, and it is also a national best that can produce the fastest results. ”
Hearing Academician Peng Houjue's words, Academician Gong Yuanzu glanced at Lin Chen worriedly, for fear that Lin Chen, the boss, would be bewitched by Academician Peng Houjue.
When he saw that Lin Chen was expressionless and didn't say anything, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Academician Peng Houjue and sneered:
"The development route of inertial confinement laser ignition technology is just going astray!
It is true that this development line does not need to face the problem of superconductors at room temperature and pressure, and it is also the research and development line that we can theoretically produce the fastest results.
But it has three fatal flaws, the first of which is the energy efficiency of nuclear fusion.
The essence of the so-called inertial restraint is to imitate the hydrogen explosion, but to miniaturize the hydrogen explosion to the extent that human beings can bear it.
In the midst of this, because the hydrogen explosion is a split-second thing, you use a laser to forcibly push the atoms to push them towards the center.
It is impossible for those atoms to have a fusion reaction at the same time, and only a small number of atoms have a nuclear fusion reaction, which is very difficult to improve.
Therefore, it is easy to realize laser inertial confinement nuclear fusion technology, but it is impossible to generate electricity on a large scale, and the Q growth potential of this technology development line is too low and has little future.
As for the second fatal flaw is the problem of continuous work, the essence of inertial confinement laser ignition nuclear fusion technology is to detonate ultra-miniature hydrogen bombs again and again.
It takes a lot of time to put in the target pellet, and the laser needs to be recharged and dissipated every time it is launched, so this technology does not work continuously!
As for the third fatal flaw, the EMP magnetic explosion impact is the problem, when the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb are detonated, it will be accompanied by a strong EMP magnetic explosion impact.
Although the EMS magnetic storm impact produced by the hydrogen explosion is also countless times smaller than the normal hydrogen explosion due to the reduced equivalence, it is a fact that it exists.
This EMP magnetic burst is nothing on Earth, you can find a wilderness area to build a nuclear fusion power station, and the final magnetic storm impact will not affect nearby electrical appliances and burn them down.
But in the future, once the nuclear fusion device is installed in the spacecraft, with the ship's doomed volume, the EMP impact caused by the ultra-micro hydrogen explosion will be an unbearable disaster.
I still advise you not to confuse the public here, the development line of inertial confinement technology is a niche line after all, it is an evil way, even if human beings come up with inertial confinement nuclear fusion technology, it will not go far!
The future of mankind will only be the development line of magnetic confinement technology, and the final winner will be either the development line of tokamak device technology or the development line of stellar simulator technology, rather than the development line of inertial confinement technology! ”
"You!"
Academician Peng Houjue, who was scolded by Academician Gong Yuanzu, immediately stood up angrily.
The other people at the scene nodded lightly when they heard Academician Gong Yuanzu's words, indicating that the future of mankind must be the tokamak device line or the stellar simulator line, and the inertial confinement line is an evil road.
What is a tokamak or an astral line?
First of all, they are essentially magnetically confined lines, but they are designed differently from pipelines.
Among them, the pipe of the tokamak device is a ring, like a bracelet, and the plasma nuclear fusion material is mainly rotating in a ring and the nuclear fusion reaction occurs.
As for the stellarumer, it twists the ring into a twisted pipe in the shape of a magnetic field, which is countless times more difficult to design, which can be said to make countless scientists feel a headache for the design drawings.
Therefore, since scientists put forward the concept of stellar simulator design in the 60s, the development line of stellar simulator technology has not become the mainstream.
Eventually, with the rapid development of supercomputers in the 90s, human beings were able to design stellaroid fusion technology with the help of supercomputers.
Among them, although the stellaroid nuclear fusion technology is difficult to develop and design, it has three advantages that make human beings fall in love with it at once, and even make many people think that it will replace the tokamak device in the future must be a stellarite!
As for those two advantages, what are the two advantages?
The first advantage is that the magnetic field is stable, because its spiral magnetic field relies on the coil twisted on the outside, and the structure will not have the possibility of sudden disintegration, and can naturally run for a long time.
The second advantage is that the magnetic field density limit is much larger than the development line of the tokamak device, which means that there is no need to design as large as possible for the tokamak device.
After all, according to the technical principle of the tokamak device, if you want to reduce the difficulty of nuclear fusion, you must increase the size of the device.
That's why the tokamak unit under construction in Stoneland had to be 9 meters wide and 17 meters high with each coil and weigh 360 tons!
The stellarator has a much larger magnetic field density limit than the tokamak, which makes it possible to build smaller fusion devices, which can be installed on smaller spacecraft in the future.
Of course, as mentioned before, although the stellar simulator is good at everything, the biggest drawback is that the design and manufacturing are too complex and too demanding.
"Alright, let's get to the point."
Lin Chen also felt a little headache when he looked at the quarrel between the two factions in the conference room.
In fact, this kind of quarrel has been going on for decades, and the scope of the quarrel has occurred at home and abroad, and it can be said that it has not stopped since the two development technology lines were proposed.
After all, the battle over Taoism will never stop at any time, and the dispute over Taoism thousands of years ago will be played out of a dog's brain.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Seeing that the boss spoke, the people at the scene instantly shut their mouths, and did not dare to continue arguing to avoid being eliminated by Lin Chen, and finally could not participate in this great research and development project that changed the history of mankind.
Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded lightly, and then slowly spoke:
"I've actually made a decision on what kind of fusion technology development route to take."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was instantly shocked, and then their eyes showed expectation, I don't know what the nuclear fusion R&D route decided by Lin Chen is?
"The R&D route of nuclear fusion technology I decided on is the R&D route of stellar fusion technology!"
Lin Chen said an answer that people didn't expect, causing the people at the scene to freeze in place for an instant.
The people who reacted immediately became anxious, and Academician Gong Yuanzu was even more anxious:
"Boss, the stellar simulator technology development line is too difficult, whether it is design or manufacturing, any mistake in any link may make us spend a huge cost to build the stellarum failure."
At this time, another academician at the scene, Li Jianping, also agreed:
"yes, let's go the tokamak device technology development route.
We have been studying this thing globally for decades, and we have accumulated a lot of experience, and the research and development progress is the highest, and we are also good at it.
At this time, if we develop an stellarumer, then our experience in researching tokamaks will be directly wasted by at least half, which is a huge loss for our research and development progress. (End of chapter)
