"Controlled nuclear fusion?"

Chen Yi was stunned: "There's no need to be so fierce, right?" ”

Originally, he thought that he would build a decay battery pack of several hundred kW at most, and a fission reactor of several thousand kW at the most fierce, and then use the temperature difference power generation effect and radiation volt effect to convert energy into electricity.

This is one level lower than the energy efficiency of boiling water to generate electricity.

However, the size of the reactor can be reduced to a minimum, and it should not be a big problem to move to the aircraft.

Realistic decay battery packs have proven applications in spacecraft.

For example, the decay battery pack of Voyager 1 is claimed to be inexhaustible for 100,000 years.

It's just that Chen Yi now needs a little more power.

Fission reactors are similar, the reality of fission nuclear power plants is so large, mainly boiling water generating units occupy most of the volume, and the rest of the part, safety design occupies most of the volume.

As long as the boiling water generator set is removed, it is replaced with temperature difference power generation and radiation power generation.

Then through the system, the safety design is optimized and reduced.

The size of the entire fission reactor can be reduced to about the size of a decay battery pack, and there is no problem in moving it to the aircraft.

What's more.

In reality, there are mature or semi-mature solutions for both of the above.

Chen Yi used it, except for the fact that his brain hole was a little bigger, it was actually not abrupt.

But controlled nuclear fusion

It's too fierce.

In addition to the past few years, the domestic market has broken through the upper limit of the test one after another.

In the past, with the strength of more than a dozen countries in the world, there has been no breakthrough in research for decades.

But even if the country has fought in recent years, it has broken through the upper limit one after another.

However, the overall system is still in the furnace burning stage.

That is, to raise the temperature of the plasma, to increase the time of magnetic confinement, and to conduct simulation experiments, rather than actually putting nuclear fuel into actual experiments.

The image point describes that the long march of controllable nuclear fusion has only taken the first step, and the remaining 99 steps are all theories.

He is a machine operator, and in order to make a better machine, he easily brought out the nuclear fusion technology, which is said. It's too much of a slap in the face.

"If you want to add energy reactors to your drone, hurry up and pack your things, and I'll take you to live in the northwest mountains for a few years."

"Those people who have been incognito in the mountains and have been engaged in nuclear research for more than ten years and decades have heard of your name for a long time, so they just happened to go over and talk to them."

When Professor Zhang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Chen Yi with a look of surprise.

After dozens of days of research and work in Rongfei's base, he knew how perverted Chen Yi's research talent was.

Even if you have not been in contact with a field before, you can master it very deeply in a few days and a week, and you can even make further research breakthroughs.

I really want to kidnap this guy to live in the mountains of the northwest for a few years.

Good guys, the domestic nuclear industry has not yet been able to rocket into the air, soaring in a straight line.

“.”

The corners of Chen Yi's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly took two steps back.

Just kidding, let him go to the northwest mountains to live for dozens of days, a month or two is okay, live for a few years. Yifei went out of business directly.

"Lao Zhang, you kidnap me now."

"Tomorrow the whole country will be able to celebrate on the other side, saying that Yifei was crushed by them."

"Ugh"

Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment and shook his head in disappointment: "I almost forgot that you are still the core public figure of the competition between the two sides."

If it really disappears for a few months, the other side will definitely make a fuss about this.

In this way, you can only go to Hecheng, Ontario, and go to the EAST nuclear fusion project to see. ”

"Forget about the past."

Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "You can help me bring a sentence."

10 kg of helium-3 element.

Some of the data they have already studied, as well as relevant literature reports.

I just built a spotlight tower on the moon on the other side today, and I don't know what the reaction of the other side is, so I haven't been out for two months. ”

Lessons learned from the Persian scientists.

For the safety of his own life, Chen Yi is still quite concerned.

These days, he plans to ask Xuannu to investigate carefully and see if there are any broken jars on the other side.

Once you've fully grasped the safety risks, think about going out.

"You want to build it yourself at the base?"

Professor Zhang was stunned, but he didn't expect Chen Yi to make such a choice.

"Of course, I'm fine with nuclear fusion at the base."

"This thing will be extinguished if it is out of control, and the safety is comparable, and there will be no risk of decay elements or uncontrollable fission elements."

Chen Yi replied as a matter of course.

Where to go, not accustomed not to say.

A simple technology, or a technology that can be mastered with a single adjustment of the system.

I still have to pretend to think and study for a few days, it's too uncomfortable.

Controlled nuclear fusion devices are different from other decaying and fissile elements.

Fusion elements are not radioactive, and reactions require tens or even hundreds of millions of temperatures.

Even if it is out of control, the moment the magnetic confinement fails and the temperature drops, the reaction itself stops.

It won't be like a fission nuclear power plant, where a loss of control is an area of wasteland.

He does it himself in the base, and he doesn't have to worry about danger or radiation.

"I'll get in touch, it should be fine."

Professor Zhang thought about it and agreed.

In his opinion, this matter is not a big problem.

Both the above, and the EAST fusion project, will be happy to make such a deal.

The current EAST fusion project is an official project.

China is also a member of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program.

In this way, if the EAST fusion project team really wants to develop controlled nuclear fusion, it is indispensable to share some technology with other countries.

Although it is impossible to say that this sharing is free, if you can completely control it, it must be completely mastered by yourself, and the right to speak and the initiative will be more sufficient.

Now Yifei is working on one more nuclear fusion project alone.

There is no need to occupy a large scientific research fund, not to mention.

If you really want to make any technology, no one else can share what technology is required by the ITER program agreement.

It's all your own stuff, and you can slap the table louder.

As for the EAST fusion project itself, with 10 kilograms of helium-3, deuterium-helium fusion bypasses the problems of neutron irradiation and tritium self-sustaining.

Maybe it's still in the furnace burning stage, and the real fusion test can be carried out directly.

"In that case, hurry up, I just happen to be free during this time."

Chen Yi thought about it, and the straight moon landing has been completed.

Although because of the communication delay.

Most of them give an instruction, and the specific operation is automatically controlled by the program.

Compared to flying drones at close range on the ground, the experience of operating completely by yourself is cool.

But the new experience of setting up a lighthouse on the opposite side and building a throne for SpaceX's moon landing has made up for this part of the shortcomings.

Feel the experience of a real moon landing.

Next, Chen Yi felt that he was not interested in flying to the moon for the time being.

If you want to fly, it is estimated that you will fly in the atmosphere.

Or wait for the technology to update, and then experience flying to Mars and flying the asteroid belt.

As for moon mining, just leave it to Xuannu.

In this way, during the period before Hua Arm Zhang got married, he was completely idle, just in time to engage in nuclear fusion.

After chatting with Lao Zhang.

Soon, early the next morning.

A security guard took a confidential hard drive and handed it to Chen Yi.

At the same time, a special vehicle that is usually used to transport logs and has a super stable operation also drove into the Penghai base.

The space-based ion cannon was packed and packaged, and professional security personnel in front and behind escorted it.

Grab an overhead satellite surveillance gap.

The vehicle drove out of the base and disappeared at the end of the road.

"I don't know, when this thing will be launched, when it's really time to make an appearance, I believe the other side will definitely be surprised."

Chen Yimu sent the log cart away, took the hard drive and went to the third floor, and after checking the information, there was no problem.

Then dig out your virtual headset and import the data from the hard drive.

"It's been a long time since I've formally studied."

"This time, give nuclear fusion a face."

Helmet on.

Turn on the learning state.

Chen Yi felt that his head became groggy, and his vision began to be in a trance.

A few seconds later.

A thrilling spirit.

It's like entering a whole new world, and the picture in front of you has changed.

A new teacher, dressed in the costume of a professional teacher, walked towards him in a real style

Hazy and vague, with a dreamlike feeling, it fills the atmosphere of learning at once.

"This preview session is as powerful as ever."

Chen Yi cheered in his heart.

After an exciting pre-study, the real learning state begins.

This time, Chen Yi became an undergraduate student majoring in physics.

Because of his superior talent, he completed his master's course in his freshman year, and then chose the research direction of plasma physics and condensed matter physics to continue his research.

After some painstaking study and research.

Before the age of 28, he won most of his peers and became a top expert in plasma physics and condensed matter physics in the world, and was invited to join the EAST nuclear fusion project team to lead the research on controlled nuclear fusion.

Controlled nuclear fusion is mainly a reaction that imitates the fusion mechanism of stars and fuses light elements to release energy.

It's just that the pressure environment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of atmospheres inside the star cannot be created by the outside world.

As a result, the temperature required to achieve nuclear fusion is much higher than the temperature inside the star.

Deuterium-tritium fusion, reaction temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius.

Deuterium-helium-3 fusion, reaction temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

With such terrifying temperatures, no matter in the universe can withstand it.

The only way is to use the charge of the plasma, through the confinement of the magnetic field, to confine the plasma with such a terrifying temperature within a certain range, to maintain the stability of the temperature, and to maintain the progress of the reaction.

According to this basic principle.

Chen Yi led the team to tackle the problem of superconducting cooling of the reactor in turn, overcome the key problems such as magnetic island, magnetic field coherence, and super magnetic field, solve the problem of magnetic field stability of magnetic confinement, and overcome the problem of microwave ignition.

The physical model of tokamak deuterium-tritium fusion and DHe3 deuterium-helium fusion have been completed, and the problem of long-term confinement of plasma has been overcome.

And the temperature of the constraint has broken through from millions of degrees Celsius to tens of millions of degrees Celsius, and then to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius for long-term maintenance.

But even here, look up.

The road ahead is still as long as the sky, I don't know when it will be the dawn, and I don't know when it will be the end

"Whew!"

After regressing from the virtual learning state, Chen Yi exhaled as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Difficult!

It's so hard!

Artificially created hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

It is also necessary to maintain this environment for a long time to be self-consistent and stable for a long time, and at the same time, the energy must be maintained with positive returns.

Even through the virtual device, through the virtual learning, into the mechanical ascension, into the rational state of thinking and wisdom, he clearly felt how difficult it was.

"According to the domestic EAST nuclear fusion project team, the current results of more than 1,000 seconds of plasma operation and 405 seconds of steady-state operation in a highly confined state can actually try fusion ignition.

However, the problems of neutron irradiation and tritium self-sustaining of deuterium-tritium fusion have not been solved.

As soon as the fusion test is carried out, the device is immediately scrapped.

Moreover, calculated according to the existing model.

Even if fusion ignition is successful, the energy gain is negative.

That is, the energy consumed by the fusion reactor to maintain the reaction is higher than the effective energy output of the reaction, and it is several times higher.

The longer you run, the less energy you have.

The problem of neutron irradiation and tritium self-sustaining can also be solved by skipping deuterium-tritium fusion and carrying out deuterium-helium fusion.

But the energy gains are negative.

If this problem is not solved, there will never be hope for a fusion device, and the ignition test will be funny."

Thoroughly digest the data and technology provided by the EAST fusion project team.

Chen Yi took off his virtual helmet.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided on three directions for joint solutions.

Superconducting materials, improved magnetic confinement, plasma eddy current shock.

"It's time to charge at the high critical value of superconducting materials at room temperature!"

Chen Yi looked at the live broadcast of the moon landing, and the nearly 200 million consciousness waves he harvested, he had full confidence in the charge of room temperature superconducting materials.

Materials are the foundation of everything.

If the superconducting material breaks through at room temperature.

Yifei and all the technology he has mastered will undergo earth-shaking changes, doubling or even exponentially improving performance!
