Hanging up the phone, putting away the Gauss gun and protective vest, Chen Yi went back to sleep.

I slept until ten o'clock in the morning.

Chen Yi placed an order online and bought some melon seeds and pistachios, waiting for the announcement to be issued.

But wait, wait, wait, wait until noon for lunch, and there is no movement.

"Forget it, let's do nuclear fusion, my drone can't wait to change its heart."

After a brief lunch, Chen Yi looked at the time and calculated the decay period of neutrons.

Make sure all the neutrons have dissipated, put on a dust mask, put on a protective suit and gloves, take a Geiger counter and head to yesterday's lab.

Click!

Push open the sealed door.

A heat wave is coming.

Chen Yi glanced at the Geiger counter in his hand.

The pointer moved, but it was still far from exceeding.

Endure the heat wave and go inside.

Chen Yi used a Geiger counter to measure in various areas.

It was found that in addition to the nuclear fusion reactor the radiation reached 2.05 μSv.

That's about ten times higher than the natural radiation of the environment.

Holding the reactor for a year and not letting go is equivalent to taking eight or nine CT scans.

Radiation is normal everywhere else.

"It seems that a considerable part of the transmuted elements belong to non-radioactive elements, or the half-life period of the elements is hundreds of millions of years or billions of years, which can be called safe and worry-free."

"Xuannu, turn on the air conditioning system."

It was determined that the radiation threat was almost non-existent.

Chen Yi gave instructions to the sub-program that Xuannu had divided with confidence.

I didn't dare to turn on the air conditioner yesterday because I was afraid that neutron irradiation would transmutate radioactive elements, and as the air conditioner circulated to every corner of the laboratory, the contamination would be more difficult to clean.

Now that there is almost no radiation, it is natural to turn on the air conditioner with confidence.

Airplanes!

The high-power central air conditioning in the laboratory is turned on, and the cool breeze dissipates the residual heat.

Chen Yi found the testing equipment in the laboratory and began to conduct a detailed inspection of the nuclear fusion reactor.

"I was injected with a lot of neutrons, and the elemental DNA has changed."

The casing, microwave generator, first inner wall of the doughnut, etc. were inspected.

Chen Yi found that except for the superconducting coil protected by a layer of beryllium, all the other modules had some new elements caused by the forced injection and transmutation of high-energy neutrons.

These elements act like impurities in the material, resulting in a decrease in overall performance ranging from a dozen percent to a forty-odd percent.

Among them, it is the most serious of the first inner wall of the doughnut, which is directly exposed to plasma high-temperature thermal radiation, plasma irradiation and infrared irradiation, and is also the first target of high-energy neutron attack.

In some areas, the eroded material can be smashed with a hammer.

It is estimated that after a few more hours of operation, the entire inner wall will crumble.

"Deuterium-tritium fusion, it's really dancing on the tip of a knife."

Looking at the internal material that would shatter as soon as he knocked it, Chen Yi seemed to be able to imagine it.

If this thing falls off in the middle of running.

As a result, the superconducting coil in the back is subjected to plasma irradiation and infrared irradiation, overtemperature deconduction, magnetic confinement failure, and the whole reactor explodes.

Although in the first moments of the fryer.

The plasma diffusion cools down instantaneously, and the fusion reaction stops.

However, when the fusion reaction is carried out, the energy bound by the magnetic confinement field is tens of thousands of equivalents, to say the least.

"It's no wonder that a qualified magnetic confinement reactor must have a spare second set of coils, and multi-point pools should be built in the laboratory including the surrounding area."

"If there is an accident in the first set of coils, the second set of coils is required to complete the energization within nanoseconds, and a magnetic field is generated to intercept the uncontrolled diffusion of ultra-high temperature plasma."

"If something happens to both coils, well, pray."

"Pray that when the safety mechanism is activated, the pool gate is opened, and the plasma is urgently released to cool down, I will not be boiled into prawns."

Chen Yi made a rough estimate in his heart.

Because it is not the explosion that releases energy, but the heat diffusion that releases energy, the instantaneous reaction of loss of control also stops.

Such a standard nuclear fusion reactor, even if it gets out of control, a few swimming pools can complete the suppression.

"It seems that the standard plan in the future is to put the fusion pile underground and build an artificial lake overhead."

"As long as there is enough water in the lake, ten fusion reactor fryers will only burn one lake of warm water."

Chen Yi carefully examined the entire fusion reactor.

In particular, the erosion of the first inner wall is a full-scale model drawing.

The erosion of each place is marked on the model one by one.

These marked regions correspond to the areas where ultra-high temperature plasma energy converges and the fusion reaction is more powerful.

It is of great significance for Chen Yi to explore the ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence model, solve the turbulent impact, and greatly improve the efficiency of fusion reactors.

"Plasma turbulence is one of the core challenges of controlled nuclear fusion."

"If this is not solved, it will be difficult to greatly improve the reaction efficiency, energy output efficiency, and stability and efficiency of the confined magnetic field of the fusion reactor."

Of course, this is also the most difficult problem to solve.

Explore the fluid movement inside a plasma at temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

Explore the turbulent distribution coefficient inside the plasma.

This temperature condition alone blocks almost all detection methods.

Without probing, there is no data.

Without data, it is naturally impossible to explore and figure out the internal situation. ”

Chen Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

Ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence and vortex currents belong to a type of fluid motion.

Image point metaphor.

This is a tornado within a magnetic confinement field, and there is a lot of turbulence and eddy currents in it.

These turbulences and eddies are constantly generated and dissipated at all times.

Each turbulent flow that hits the surrounding confined magnetic field can bring a great impact, causing the confined magnetic field to consume more energy.

Each time a vortex is generated, the energy converges, and the intensity of the fusion reaction in the corresponding region increases dramatically, releasing more energy, causing the temperature of the region to rise, the plasma to expand, and then to produce more turbulence, impacting the surrounding confinement field.

Now, Chen Yi has to study and understand the motion of all turbulent and eddy currents, and find a mathematical model and fluid model to summarize this motion.

Then, guided by theoretical models, the disturbance hinders the generation of turbulence and eddy currents.

Let the fusion reaction proceed more smoothly and the restraint more stable.

Turbulence and eddy currents that cannot be hindered are automatically adjusted by confinement magnetic fields

For example, when a turbulent current comes over, the current and frequency of the coil are controlled, and the magnetic confinement of the corresponding area recedes by one point.

Exiting this space, the turbulence rushes through this distance, and it dissipates itself.

For example, eddy currents are generated, regional fusion reactions are intensified, and the plasma is regionally expanded, and the confinement magnetic field is also adjusted to ensure that the impact of plasma expansion is smaller.

In this way, the input energy to maintain the stability of nuclear fusion can be reduced by at least half or even two-thirds, and the overall energy output will be greatly improved.

After all, the maintenance magnetic field consumption is small.

The main consumption is the magnetic field to overcome the consumption of other energy.

According to this.

A few years ago, Western Europe also developed a magnetically confined stellar simulator device.

It is to twist the restraint coil into a twist to create a twist-like magnetic field.

Directly change the shape of the magnetic field at the hardware level to adapt to the turbulence and eddy currents of the high-temperature plasma.

At that time, the tokamak still had a lot of problems with the confined magnetic field in the shape of a doughnut, and the stove could not be built.

The stellarator began to carry out plasma confinement tests to adapt to the turbulence and eddy currents of the plasma.

For a time, the stellar mimic was hailed as the most promising eldest son of magnetic confinement controllable nuclear fusion.

A large amount of money has been smashed, and the progress of research and experiments is also advancing rapidly.

But alas.

As the temperature continues to rise, the turbulence and eddy currents of the plasma become exponentially more complex.

The twist twist of the stellar, which also twists from three turns, twists five turns, twists eight turns, twists a hundred turns

In the end, tens of billions of euros were spent, and the fusion temperature was not yet reached.

The turbulence and eddy currents of the plasma are beyond the limits of twisting.

The stellaroid route was stuck, and it was gradually caught up by domestic tokamak devices.

"The problem of ultra-high temperature plasma detection is indeed a bit difficult."

Looking at the nuclear fusion reactor in front of him, Chen Yi thought for a while.

The mind moved.

Colorful light blooms.

[Energy: 174→114]

[Efficiency: 126.4→186.4]

[If you detect that a property exceeds the initial value, do you want to read the information?] Yes/No! 】

"Yes."

The nuclear fusion device surpasses the norm and reaches the level of the force field, and the consciousness wave consumption is increased by a thousand times.

It took 12 million consciousness waves to increase the efficiency attribute to 186.4, Chen Yi did not hesitate and decisively chose to read.

Rumble!

A lot of information and data comes to mind.

With the assistance of the system.

Chen Yi quickly digested the information and data in it, his brows furrowed slightly.

"It's all about magnetic confinement of magnetic fields, how to deal with turbulence and eddy current impact."

"There is not a single one of the data on plasma turbulence and eddy currents."

Chen Yi shook his head.

He knew it wasn't that easy.

Because plasma turbulence is a factor that fusion reactors need to face, it is not an internal factor of nuclear fusion devices.

This relationship is like the relationship between the outside temperature and the air conditioner.

Adjust the properties of an air conditioner and read the information only to tell you.

When the outside temperature rises, it is difficult to dissipate heat from the external unit, so it is necessary to increase the speed of the cooling fan to maintain stable operation.

But the properties of air conditioning will not tell you why the outside temperature is rising.

Because of the change in the outside temperature, it is not a problem of the air conditioner itself.

"Unless you build a super-powerful fusion reactor."

"For example, a 100 million kilowatt fusion reactor, reading the properties of this reactor, and then through backward compatibility, you can grasp the data of all fusion reactors within 100 million kilowatts of power to deal with turbulence."

"100 million kilowatts. I'm going to do plasma turbulence. ”

Chen Yi roughly estimated the time and cost of building a 100 million kilowatt fusion reactor, and simply abandoned the idea.

"The key to studying turbulence and eddy currents inside high-temperature plasma is to get data inside the plasma."

"So, I need an accurate detector."

According to the principle of detection, Chen Yi thought for a while.

Write down a noun on a piece of paper.

Hydrogen nuclear launcher.

Since the ultra-high temperature plasma, the temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius blocks all external detection.

A series of high-precision detectors in modern times can only sense the overall energy change, but cannot detect the internal situation.

Then just build an object that can penetrate the inside of ultra-high temperature plasma and at the same time will not be damaged.

Shoot this object into it, and then detect the trajectory, direction, angle, velocity, kinetic energy change and other parameters that bounce back, and slowly calculate the situation inside the plasma.

"The proton, or proton, wants to be destroyed."

"It needs at least a billion degrees Celsius, or tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of atmospheres in the core of a star."

"A nuclear fusion device of one or two hundred million degrees Celsius is not a bath for it."

"What's more, protons are charged and can be emitted and detected by magnetic fields, so it's perfect."

Chen Yi determined his plan, to put it simply, this is a blind guessing billiards game.

The high-temperature plasma in the confined field is covered and invisible, and the emitted protons, that is, protons, are the balls that are hit, and through the rebound and force changes of the ball, guess the position of the billiard ball at the beginning.

Of course, the basic principle is this, and the difficulty of real implementation must increase by 100 million points.

"Hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

The thermal movement inside the plasma can be said to be more violent than that of most stars.

Plus the energy expended in and out of the binding force field.

The proton wants to go in and bounce out.

Instead of being blocked by a confined force field, or overwhelmed by plasma, the emission intensity must be strong.

But it's too strong to do it.

It's too strong, the kinetic energy of the proton exceeds the tolerance limit of the proton, and when it hits, it won't bounce back at all, it will only be annihilated."

Chen Yi walked to the safe house next to it without radiation.

He took off his dust mask, took out a pen and paper and calculated for a while, and even requested some supercomputing resources.

It took more than two hours.

A temperature parameter was calculated by him.

＜101987060.78℃

No more than 101.9 million degrees Celsius.

Below this temperature, the proton can penetrate the binding force field, and after multiple bounces, there is still a margin to eject.

No matter how high the temperature is, if the proton wants to eject it, the initial kinetic energy of the emission will exceed the tolerance limit of the proton.

That's not detection, it's a collider test, and at the moment of impact, the proton itself is annihilated.

"Of course, the condition for being able to eject is that it must hit less than 6 times."

"If there are too many impacts, too much energy loss, you can't get out."

Chen Yi added a condition.

According to the temperature and density of the plasma, it will come out if you want to bounce back 6 times.

He estimates that 1 out of 1 million protons is considered good.

But in any case, the presence of protons means that there is data.

With data, with the intelligent life of Xuannu, he can come up with a mathematical model of plasma turbulence.

"101.9 million degrees Celsius, which cannot be used as deuterium-helium fusion."

"It seems that the data needs to be obtained step by step."

"From millions, to tens of millions, tens of millions, gradually collect data, through different temperature ranges, turbulence changes law."

"From 101.9 million degrees Celsius, a plasma turbulence model of hundreds of millions, or even billions of degrees Celsius, is derived."

"Dry and dry."

"Proton launchers, a.k.a. proton launchers, proton launchers."

"An improved version of the ion cannon, this thing, an old acquaintance."

The scheme was determined.

Chen Yi quickly designed the space-based ion cannon according to the previous one.

All of them are replaced with superconducting materials, which enhances the strength of the split electric field and increases the annular acceleration orbit.

It took thirteen hours, from daylight to early morning.

An external power supply, an acceleration orbit 18 meters long, and a proton launcher with a diameter of 8 meters and a doughnut-style synchronous acceleration field in the starting stage successfully appeared in front of Chen Yi.

[Item: Proton Limit Launcher]
