Black technology: I have a refitting factory.

Chapter 275 Is this an ignition device for controlled nuclear fusion? (4k -in-)

Assembly of the ignition went smoothly without any surprises.

An ignition device about three meters high and covering an area of ​​10 square meters appeared at the nuclear power plant.

“The next step is verification.”

In fact, many countries have already developed controllable nuclear fusion ignition devices.

But there is no way to use this ignition device at all. The nuclear fusion energy stimulated by the ignition device cannot completely cover the consumption of the ignition device itself. In this way, there will be no cycle at all.

In the plan given by the system, the ratio of the energy consumed by the ignition device to the nuclear fusion energy stimulated is about 1:100.

The energy generated in this way is enough for the next ignition, and there is still a lot of remaining energy that can be output, which is the first step towards controllable nuclear fusion.

The solution given by the system is this efficient, but we still have to verify it to know what the situation will be like in the end.

News that the new device was to be demonstrated quickly spread throughout the plant.

Everyone put down what they were doing and moved towards the verification point.

So far, everyone has only done a small amount of work, and they haven't quite figured out Su Qi's ideas for transformation.

But from those small details, it seems like a big change.

The verification of the first device can reveal something.

So everyone is curious.

In a huge test room.

Ignition units are shipped here.

"With such a small amount of hydrogen, the energy released should be about the same."

Su Qi whispered.

The controllable nuclear fusion technology currently being studied on Earth generally assumes that hydrogen isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T) are used as fuel for controllable nuclear fusion.

Su Qi thought so too before starting the transformation.

But in fact, the plan given by the system can use hydrogen to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, which is also a huge leap.

Because compared to hydrogen isotopes, hydrogen will be more abundant and easier to obtain.

This is one of the reasons why Su Qi felt that none of the experts and scholars at the nuclear power plant could guess that this was a device that controlled nuclear fusion.

Probably no one would have thought that hydrogen would be directly used as a raw material for nuclear fusion.

Just as the hydrogen is injected.

"The injection is hydrogen, what is it doing?"

"Do new devices need to use hydrogen to improve efficiency?"

"It may be that hydrogen nuclei are excited to accelerate the fission of uranium. In this way, the degree of fission will be higher, more energy will be produced, and much less nuclear waste will be produced."

"This makes sense, but this plan is too strong to come up with."

"Haha, due to my limited knowledge, I won't think about it at all because I can't do it."

……

Looking at the machines being operated, everyone started discussing.

They were curious about Su Qi's device.

At the end of the day, some people speculated whether it was some kind of ignition device that could control nuclear fusion. But Su Qi was about to experiment with hydrogen and gave up the idea.

Controlled nuclear fusion generally uses hydrogen isotopes as raw materials. It is difficult to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

It is even more impossible to use hydrogen, which requires a higher level of technology.

It would be possible to first develop a device for controlled nuclear fusion of isotopes and then improve the device.

There is no reason to use hydrogen to make things that can control nuclear fusion in the first place.

Su Qi heard everyone's discussion.

He had no intention of correcting the increasingly skewed direction. I even want to give a thumbs up to the researcher with the fantastic idea!

What a great help!

Even if it ignites later, there is a high probability that no one will think in this direction.

"Hydrogen injection completed!"

Xiaojiu's voice sounded.

This was the first time to ignite the fire. To be on the safe side, Su Qi let Xiaojiu do all the operations.

"The device is being tested again!"

"Test completed, no problem!"

"Start inputting energy!"

Under Xiaojiu's operation, a large amount of electrical energy is input into the ignition device.

"Energy input completed!"

"The device starts to warm up!"

"Preheating completed, start it or not!"

As Xiaojiu's last words fell, everyone's hearts lifted.

No matter what this thing is, now is the most critical time. If it succeeds, it proves that they have taken the first step.

Failed……

No one wanted to think about this outcome.

Su Qi was a little nervous at this time, but after adjusting his mood a little, he stabilized, and finally said slowly: "Start!"

"start up!"

After receiving Su Qi's instructions, Xiaojiu entered a start command for the ignition device.

hum!

Dozens of openings in the ignition device eject 100 million amps of plasma current. Under the control of the device's magnetic field, these currents begin to spiral forward and slowly combine together.

The speed began to increase.

It didn't take long to reach the exit from the ignition.

There is an extremely powerful magnetic field exerted here. In a small range, high-speed plasma current, coupled with the power of this magnetic field.

All plasma currents come together.

boom!

An ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature environment was instantly created.

In this ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature environment, hydrogen atoms begin to aggregate and produce nuclear fusion.

This time, there is only the ignition device and no other restraining devices. When fusion occurs, a large amount of energy is released instantly.

A white light flashed.

boom!

There was an explosion in the ignition device.

"Is this a failure?"

Seeing the explosion, a thought came to everyone's mind, and the expressions on their faces became a little disappointed.

This situation is obviously out of control.

Maybe hydrogen gas was detonated?

Just when everyone was depressed, Su Qi had a smile on his face.

The experiment was a perfect success!

He placed a sensor at the explosion site in advance to collect the energy generated by the nuclear fusion. According to the test just now, the energy released has reached expectations.

It should have exceeded expectations, reaching 1:110.

"Expert Su, is this a failure?"

Seeing the smile on Su Qi's face, Hu Shicheng realized that this experiment might be different from what they imagined.

"Yes, it worked."

Su Qi nodded and said, "This time it was mainly to test the reaction to hydrogen. Now it seems that it has met expectations. Of course, this explosion was also expected.

The sensor placed in that place is for testing. "

"Haha, that's it! It scared me."

Hu Shicheng's original depressed expression disappeared, and a smile began to appear on his face.

The rest of the people also let out a sigh of relief.

They can actually accept failure, but not failing is always a good thing.

"Expert Su, I think this thing looks a bit like an ignition device for controllable nuclear fusion. Is it considered a successful ignition just now?"

Bai Wenyuan suddenly spoke.

After his words fell, everyone was stunned for a moment. “Wen Yuan really dares to think!”

"Actually, I look a bit similar, but I'm not bold enough to ask."

"If it's true, that's not..."

……

Everyone was discussing in soft voices, all looking at Su Qi, waiting expectantly for Su Qi's answer.

Although it still seems unlikely, what if it is true?

Su Qi was startled when he felt everyone's gaze. He originally thought that no one would ask this question.

Now it seems that the level of the people at the nuclear power plant is still slightly underestimated.

It's really unrealistic to think about it now that everyone can't see it.

But at this level, the atmosphere is actually about the same, so if you say it, the shock value should be quite a lot.

Thinking of this, Su Qi smiled and said, "Yes, this thing is designed to be an ignition device for controllable nuclear fusion. The explosion that just occurred was actually the energy that was released after the fusion of hydrogen."

"It's actually true!"

"Controlled nuclear fusion?"

“Expert Su’s steps are a bit big!”

"I, I, I, actually have controllable nuclear fusion, did I hear you correctly?"

"What's going on? Hydrogen is actually used as the raw material for nuclear fusion?"

……

Hearing Su Qi's answer, everyone took a breath.

Then everyone started talking, their words full of excitement.

They didn't dare to think about controllable nuclear fusion. As a result, they were now told that it was already on the road of research and would become a reality in a short time.

How can you not be excited and nervous? !

More importantly, forget about controllable nuclear fusion!

Why use hydrogen as a controllable nuclear fusion fuel? This is a path they can't even think of.

It is so difficult to use isotopes. If we use hydrogen, it must be at least several times higher!

Soon, I became excited again, there are many isotopes on the earth.

But extraction is also a troublesome matter, and if we really want to enter the era of interstellar navigation, there will not be enough on the earth, and we will have to go to the moon to collect raw materials.

Hydrogen is different, it is much easier to produce.

It is also abundant on earth.

"Well, Expert Su. I would like to ask, what was the energy conversion ratio just now?"

Hu Shicheng asked.

As his words fell, everyone's hearts began to rise again, and they looked at Su Qi expectantly.

Successful ignition is one aspect, and another key aspect is the conversion ratio. If the energy used is not as much as produced, it is not actually a success.

Suqi said that if it is successful, it must be that the energy used is less than the energy produced.

How much less this is is critical.

It is also related to the efficiency of future nuclear power plants.

It should be at least 1:3, right?

There is a number in everyone's mind. After energy is generated, there is still loss.

Therefore, to maintain the operation of nuclear fusion, the ratio must be at least 1:3 to maintain it for a long time.

"Here, I calculated an approximate value. Well, it's probably... 1:110."

Su Qi smiled and said, "That's a pretty good value."

"1:110?"

"Is that a good number?"

After hearing Su Qi's words of tiger and wolf, everyone stood stunned on the spot.

They have speculated that the maximum conversion ratio can reach 1:10, which is already a very impressive number.

As a result, the understatement comes 1:110...

What a pretty good number.

This is a magical value, okay? !

Expert Su's requirements are indeed different.

"This has also increased the shock value a lot, but it is not enough..."

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Su Qi had a smile on his face.

In addition, bring up the panel to check the shock value.

The ones just mentioned add at least 100000 shock value.

But there is still a big gap between it and the consumption of controllable nuclear fusion.

But he was in no hurry.

This thing is not finished yet, and it should increase in the future.

The biggest source of shock value should come from all over the world.

This may require some warm-up.

It's best to have something to compare with and reverse, so that the power of controllable nuclear fusion can be seen.

Originally, Eagle Sauce was the best character, but now the technology is outdated and far behind our own.

And since they are always weak over there, they probably won’t think about teasing their side again.

It seems like I can only figure it out on my own.

……

"According to the information obtained, the transformation of the nuclear power plant is currently going smoothly. The technical information obtained from the aliens is quite detailed. It is expected that the transformation of the entire nuclear power plant will be completed next week."

Gill reported to the Roberts Report, “After this transformation is completed, the construction cost of the nuclear power plant will be reduced by 50%, and the cost of treating nuclear wastewater will be reduced by 70%.

The safety factor should be very high, and the possibility of a nuclear leakage is about one in a thousand.

Do we need to vigorously promote this thing? "

After a pause, he spoke cautiously, "Do you want to compete with the Chinese side?"

"Compared with the Chinese side?"

Roberts frowned slightly.

"Yes, our transformation was very sudden this time. The technology given by aliens is a very cutting-edge technology. It is said that China is also upgrading nuclear power plants.

but……"

When Gil said this, he paused, "Unless there is controllable nuclear fusion, it is unlikely to be able to match our transformation results. This is not just based on our demonstration."

This is a conclusion reached through communication with aliens. "

"But...will China give us a big surprise and suddenly come up with a controllable nuclear fusion?"

Roberts frowned.

He knew that controllable nuclear fusion was difficult, and it was basically impossible to achieve it all at once.

It's just that there are too many things happening in China that don't follow common sense, and he really has a psychological shadow. As soon as they publicize it, especially if they get them to promote it, they might be able to create a controlled nuclear fusion for you.

By then everyone will explode!

"We have evaluated this, and the possibility is basically non-existent. Controllable nuclear fusion requires hydrogen isotopes. In the research stage, it should be extracted from seawater on a large scale.

I haven't found anything about this action over there yet. "

Gil replied, "So it shouldn't be about controllable nuclear fusion. It is most likely upgrading the nuclear power plant like us. It will be upgraded to a big level, but in the end it will still not be able to compare with ours."

"Is that so..."

Roberts fell silent after hearing this. If he had said it before, he would have made the decision without hesitation.

I'm really struggling inside right now.

The above-mentioned opinions have been raised over the past few failures.

After pondering for a while, he looked at the information again, and asked Gil again if it was the conclusion drawn by aliens. Finally, he seemed to have made a decision and said: "Promote, continue to promote, and promote it to a bigger scale. Especially China." I was also working on this renovation and accidentally brought it up!

You shouldn’t lose this time! "
