Before returning to the college entrance examination, I became popular in the science circle

Chapter 409 Risk
If you want to gain as much gain as you want, you must take as much risk as you want. Risk and gain are always directly proportional.In this world, there is never any pie in the sky for no reason!
For ordinary people, the prerequisite for gaining something is to dare to give, devote time, and devote energy... But for them, this attempt is a risky investment, and this effort has a certain cost. If you take risks, you may gain something, or you may end up in vain.

However, for them, it is impossible not to do it because of the risks.Controllable nuclear fusion is a major technology that they must invest in research and development.

"We have placed our hope in it and are prepared for a long battle and failure. Isn't this a normal process? Mr. Wu's participation can bring us more hope! This is beyond doubt, but we cannot The pressure of possible future failures will all be placed on Mr. Wu! Full support and trust, this is what we should do most!"

"Yes, this is obvious. I agree with this decision!" Even if it failed, they would not blame Wu Tong for this failure. It was even said that Mr. Wu's move from proposing to applying for project approval could be called In a short period of time, they have made the first transcendent step based on their initial contact with controllable nuclear fusion. Their hope of success is very high!

In terms of scientific research for the advancement of mankind and the advancement of the country, their opinions are unified.

If they have controllable nuclear fusion, they will have an early say in the future track, have the confidence to compete with the international world, and have a steady stream of clean and cheap electricity.

This is a technology that they must master and make breakthroughs. Every year, they invest in research and development at all costs, and even participate in the construction of international TTRE with the mentality of being blessed at the same time, all in order to not fall behind in this process.

Now that the domestic market has left the international market behind, there is no hope of making a big move forward. If the domestic market misses out, it will be like entering the gold mountain and returning empty-handed!

What Shenlong needs is the power to fly freely in the blue sky and shock the world, not the powerlessness to be restrained.The Eastern Dragon has risen in this century, showing his majesty to the world.

In the office, Wu Tong sat behind his desk, writing furiously.A series of derivation formulas condensed in her writing.Her thinking has reached its infinite maximum expansion.Wu Tong tried the three major research and development directions one by one.

As time goes by, with Wu Tong's efficiency, there will naturally be no progress and gains.

In the huge project of artificial sun, the first wall material is regarded as one of the key materials.The first wall material is the first material in contact with the fusion reaction in the nuclear fusion device, so it must have high temperature resistance and radiation damage defense capabilities.

Wu Tong conducted extended derivation on alloy materials. Although he did not reach the final destination, he also obtained a material development and design plan that made great progress.

The material is expected to be a metal composite consisting of multiple layers of different materials.It can withstand high temperatures of up to 1000 million degrees Celsius and also has good radiation damage defense capabilities.

Although it has not yet fully met Wu Tong's absolute requirements, this material design scheme, even if it cannot be used in controllable nuclear fusion, can also be used in other fields in the future. Wu Tong will save this unexpected gain for the future. We will conduct experimental preparations when we have time. The focus now is still on the research and development of first wall materials.

Although if this material is used, it can barely be used for a fusion experiment, but what they need is a first wall material that is as non-destructive as possible, not a material that just has good resistance and can still be eroded.Because during the fusion reaction, the neutrons that penetrate the first wall are not just as simple as punching a hole in the first wall. They will form a cavity inside the material of the first wall like a balloon, eventually leading to the formation of a cavity in the first wall material. The entire wall material swells, becomes brittle, or even the surface material falls off, causing serious accidents.

If the cost of continuous internal replacement and repair of fusion reactors in the future is too high, they still have to maintain the absolute requirement for excellence from the very beginning of the design now to avoid the possibility of being scolded by workers and future generations.

Wu Tong still wants to get it right in one step and truly solve the first wall of materials, rather than just taking out the staged results and betting on them.In this way, we are irresponsible to the higher authorities and to scientific research.It is a negligent act that makes fun of people's lives and property. Such a criminal act is something that the Affairs Office does not bother to do.

After reaching the end of current capabilities in metal composite materials, Wu Tongfu turned his attention to other methods.

The second major direction, carbon extended materials, eventually became Wu Tong’s most important research and development direction.Wu Tong, who chose this direction as the most valuable and prepared, was not surprised.

Carbon element has been recognized and used by people for a long time, and a series of carbon compounds - organic matter are the foundation of life.Carbon also has many allotropes, such as diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerene, etc. These allotropes are widely used in aviation, medical, petrochemical, national defense and other fields.In addition, carbon is one of the components of pig iron, wrought iron and steel.

Carbon can combine with each other chemically to form a large number of compounds, which are biologically and commercially important molecules.Most molecules in living organisms contain carbon.Here, what is actually more attractive is that it has stable performance under high temperatures and is not easy to react.

Wu Tong is also extremely familiar with the carbon material sector.This time, the starting point is still the further advancement of carbon, or isotope graphene.

Of course, the pure carbon material graphene will definitely not be able to achieve the results Wu Tong wants. With carbon fiber composite materials, Wu Tong has maximized the improvement. Based on the current basis, it has only achieved the upper limit of four thousand degrees. Starting from one million, the material performance requirements for [-] million high-temperature base fusion reactions are definitely far from enough.

When choosing this material, what Wu Tong actually valued more was the unique single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure of graphene material.

It is assumed from many aspects that it is not enough to simply resist high temperatures based on material properties. Blocking is worse than sparing. This is the most true principle verified since ancient times.

At present, it is too difficult to achieve complete resistance and tolerance.But the road is dead, but the people are alive.

The cooling system, the cooling module... these will be the key areas for improvement. When all the personnel are available, Wu Tong will deploy them, and a dedicated person will be responsible for the research and development. She will optimize the derivation according to the situation, which can save a lot of effort. , it is also a matter of gathering the strength of everyone to tackle the hard problem of controllable nuclear fusion.
