From university academician to chief academician

After Ye Fei and the others finished researching their technology, they immediately connected it with other technologies from the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

Ye Fei and the others were studying the most difficult technology, while the others were studying less difficult techniques.

In addition, due to the explosion among Ye Fei and others, their research was suspended for more than three months.

Therefore, Ye Fei's research was the last to be completed.

At the entrance of the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute!

Ye Fei and a group of people stood at the entrance of the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

Ye Fei stood at the head of the crowd. A middle-aged man standing next to Ye Fei asked: "Dean, who will come today? Besides Deputy Director Qi, who else?"

All the technologies for controllable nuclear fusion have been successfully researched, and the higher-ups must send people down to check them out.

Ye Fei and the others stood at the entrance of the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, waiting for the people above.

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know very well. The above didn't tell me who the person is."

A smile appeared on Ye Fei's lips and he said: "All technologies for controllable nuclear fusion have been successfully researched. No matter who comes from above, they will not make things difficult for us."

The others nodded slightly.

Also, they have already researched all the technologies, so there should be no trouble for them from above.

Besides, it was Ye Fei who led them in their research, and causing trouble for them was causing trouble for Ye Fei.

Who in Xia's scientific community dares to cause trouble for Ye Fei?

Ye Fei raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "It's almost time, it should be here."

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a faint beeping sound, which was the sound of the aircraft propeller rotating.

Ye Fei and others looked up to the sky.

I saw three helicopters flying in from a distance, then landing not far from them, rolling up yellow sand all over the ground.

Then, a group of people got off the helicopter, led by Geng Ye, director of the Department of Science and Technology.

Behind Geng Ye are Qi Yong, deputy director in charge of controllable nuclear fusion, Xu Mingshan, director of the Institute of Atomic Energy, and Gao, director of the Plasma Institute of the Xia Academy of Sciences in Henan.

There are also many directors of research institutes studying controlled nuclear fusion.

As soon as Geng Ye got off the plane, he waved to Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Academician Ye!"

Ye Fei waved his hand and led others to greet him.

After Ye Fei and others approached Geng Ren and others, the two parties shook hands and said hello to each other.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Geng Si, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Welcome!"

Geng Ye laughed and said: "You have developed controllable nuclear fusion. I have to come. Controllable nuclear fusion is the most important technology for the future development of our country."

Ye Fei stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation and said: "Geng Si, please!"

Geng Ye nodded slightly, and then a group of people walked towards the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

After entering the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, Ye Fei also knew that what Geng Ye and the others wanted to do most was to see the controllable nuclear fusion technology developed.

So, Ye Fei immediately took them to check out the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

In the main control room!

This is the place to control controllable nuclear fusion and view all information about controllable nuclear fusion.

The main control room is more than 200 square meters, with many computers placed in an orderly manner, and a large display screen is hung on the entire wall.

When Ye Fei entered, there were many researchers sitting in front of computers working.

When they saw Ye Fei coming in, they all stood up and said hello to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei pressed his hand and motioned for them to sit down and continue working.

Ye Fei and others stood in front of the large display screen. Ye Fei called up information on controllable nuclear fusion.

Ye Feidao: "Everyone, please see, this is the controllable nuclear fusion that has been developed."

"Now all the research on the technology has been completed, and assembly and testing are still needed. After the assembly is completed, and after another half a year of testing, it will mean that the research on controllable nuclear fusion is successful."

"What I'm showing you now is the controlled nuclear fusion that we simulated and assembled."

Everyone nodded slightly and looked at the big screen.

Controlled nuclear fusion is like an eight-story building.

Controlled nuclear fusion turns into a circle, divided into eight layers. There is a thick iron pillar in the middle of each layer. There is a hollow between the iron pillar and the outer iron film, like a circular walkway.

Ye Feidao: "The controllable nuclear fusion turns into a circle. There are eight layers in total. Each layer is three meters high. The eighth layer is 24 meters and the diameter is ten meters."

"The area of ​​each layer is the same, the diameter of the middle cylinder is three meters, the distance between the cylinder and the outer layer is three meters, and the thickness of the outer layer is one meter."

"When the controllable nuclear fusion is running, seawater enters the cylinder in the middle of each layer from the first inlet at the bottom, and then converts the seawater into deuterium and tritium from the second to fourth layers."

"Then from the fifth to seventh layers, deuterium and tritium are converted into energy, and then the energy enters the eighth layer, which can preserve and release energy."

Deuterium and tritium are the most abundant in seawater, almost constantly.

Because of this, controllable nuclear fusion is the cleanest, safest and most reliable energy source.

In addition, Xia Kingdom has a very long coastline. For Xia Kingdom, having controllable nuclear fusion is equivalent to having unlimited energy.

After listening to Ye Fei's words, everyone nodded slightly.

Ye Feidao: "I will explain to you the technology of each layer. The first layer..."

Ye Fei spent most of the day giving them a brief explanation of each level of technology.

It wasn't until after six o'clock in the evening that Ye Fei finished explaining.

Ye Fei raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "Everyone, let's go eat!"

Ye Fei said jokingly: "I am here in the northwest, but there is nothing delicious. They are just ordinary meals."

Geng Ye smiled and said: "Academician Ye, with the controllable nuclear fusion you have developed, even if you feed us dirt, we will all be happy."

The others laughed.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Please come, everyone!"

After saying that, everyone walked outside and went to the cafeteria to eat.

The meals Ye Fei did prepare for them were very ordinary. They would eat whatever the researchers at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute ate.

The food at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is quite good, with vegetables, meat, fruits and soups.

Geng Ye sat across from Ye Fei with a dinner plate and asked: "Academician Ye, after the controllable nuclear fusion technology is successfully researched, when will it be assembled?"

Ye Fei tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "One year from now!"

Geng Ye frowned slightly and asked, "Does it take so long?"

What Geng Ye thought was that if it was assembled recently, he could stay and watch.

But it was assembled after a year. He still had work to do in the Technology Department, so he couldn't wait to stay here for a year.

Ye Feidao: "Assembly requires some machines. We don't have those machines here and they need to be transported from outside."

"Also, many parts of controllable nuclear fusion require the efforts of the whole country to manufacture. There are many parts that we cannot manufacture and require foreign companies to manufacture them."

"That's why it takes so long."

Geng Ye nodded slightly and asked, "How long will it take to assemble it?"

"Three months!"

"So long?" Geng Ye said in shock.

According to modern industrial standards, it takes three months to assemble a controllable nuclear fusion device, which is indeed a long time.

Even a quantum computer, a quantum computer only takes a month to build.

Ye Fei smiled helplessly and said: "Geng Si, there are many parts in controllable nuclear fusion, some parts are very big, and some parts are only as big as a hair."

“Moreover, some parts require us to assemble them manually, and machines cannot assemble them at all.

"So, the assembly speed is very slow."

Geng Ye nodded slightly and said helplessly: "Okay!"

Geng Ye asked: "Are you still staying here?"

"Yes!" Ye Feidao: "I have been staying here until the controllable nuclear fusion test is over."

Geng Ye and others stayed at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute for another three days.

After that, everyone except Qi Yong left.

Qi Yong will stay here and wait for the success of the controllable nuclear fusion test.

A year later, all parts of the controllable nuclear fusion were successfully manufactured and shipped to the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

There are also machines for assembling controllable nuclear fusion, which are also shipped to the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

In the factory!

Ye Fei and Qi Yong stood together, looking at the machines and parts that had been arranged in the factory.

A middle-aged man came over and said, "Dean, you're ready."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded slightly, then looked at Qi Yong.

Qi Yong smiled and said: "Academician Ye, you are the boss here. You can do whatever you want. I'm just watching from the side."

Ye Fei nodded, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Let's start assembling!"

"good!"

The middle-aged man left after speaking.

After a while, the machine started up and began to assemble controllable nuclear fusion.

Ye Fei looked at the machine that was assembling controllable nuclear fusion and thought to himself: "The technology of controllable nuclear fusion is very difficult, and the assembly is also very difficult. Even if there is a machine, it will take three months."

"With all the technology currently developed, there should be no machine on earth more complex than controllable nuclear fusion!"

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to simplify the assembly of controllable nuclear fusion. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to assemble it in half a year, let alone three months."

At that time, Ye Fei considered that it would be very complicated to assemble controllable nuclear fusion.

Therefore, he developed a simplified method for assembling parts.

Of course, parts assembly is simplified and performance is not compromised in any way.

Ye Fei looked at it for a moment, then called the middle-aged man over and said, "You guys watch here, I'm leaving first. If you have any questions, let me know."

It takes three months to assemble the parts, and it is impossible for Ye Fei to keep an eye on it all the time.

"Okay, Dean!" the middle-aged man said.

Ye Fei walked up to Qi Yong and said, "Director Qi, do you want to stay here and watch, or should you leave?"

Qi Yong asked: "What? You want to leave?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "It takes three months to assemble it. I can't stay here all the time!"

"Okay!" Qi Yong said, "Then you go ahead, I'll watch from here."

Controllable nuclear fusion is very important, and Qi Yong wants to watch it all the time.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave.

Ye Feidao: "Okay, if anything happens, let me know. I'll be in my office."

"Okay!" Qi Yong said.

Ye Fei immediately left the factory and returned to the office.

Three months later, in an open space at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

Here stands a 21-meter-tall round machine with a silver appearance. It looks like super-large candied haws butted together. It is controllable nuclear fusion.

Ye Fei looked at the controllable nuclear fusion in front of him and thought to himself: "The assembled controllable nuclear fusion is exactly the same as what we simulated, without any deviation."

"Twenty-one meters high and ten meters in diameter!"

"According to our research guess, this controllable nuclear fusion can produce 3.6x10^17 joules of energy in one hour, which is one hundred billion watts of energy and one hundred million kilowatt hours of electricity."

"That's 876 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year."

"Xia Country needs nine trillion kilowatt hours of electricity a year."

"As long as there are 11 controllable nuclear fusion reactors, we can meet the electricity needs of the entire country."

"However, the cost of this one is very high."

Ye Fei and the others spent more than 30 billion US dollars to create a controllable nuclear fusion device.

This is also because the controllable nuclear fusion was developed by Ye Fei and the others, so the manufacturing cost is only the cost price.

"Eleven would cost more than 350 billion U.S. dollars!" Ye Fei clenched his fist and said excitedly, "But it's worth it."

"More than US$350 billion was spent to create 11 controllable nuclear fusion reactors, which can meet the country's electricity needs."

"Moreover, the energy released by controllable nuclear fusion is purely natural and pollution-free."

"If it were a nuclear power plant, spending 500 billion U.S. dollars to build a nuclear power plant would not be able to produce enough electricity in one year to meet the needs of the entire country."

"Also, nuclear power plants pollute and are expensive to produce electricity."

"And controllable nuclear fusion produces electricity because the materials are extracted from seawater."

"So, the cost is very low."

"Of course, whether it is a nuclear power plant or controlled nuclear fusion, a lot of money is needed for post-maintenance."

"But overall, controlled fusion is much cheaper to operate than nuclear power plants."

"After controllable nuclear fusion is put into operation, Xia's electricity will be very cheap."

"The current electricity price is 0.52 to 0.57 yuan per kilowatt hour. After controllable nuclear fusion is used, the electricity price may be as cheap as 10 cents per kilowatt hour."

“The more controllable nuclear fusion we build, the cheaper the electricity price will be!”

"If we create more controllable nuclear fusion, we can also sell the electricity to foreign countries and earn a lot of money."

Qi Yong walked over and said expectantly: "Academician Ye, let's start the test!"

As long as the test is successful, it means that the development of controllable nuclear fusion has been successful.

Qi Yong has long been looking forward to this day.

Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "It's time to start."

Ye Fei called over a middle-aged man and said, "Are you ready?"

"Dean!" the middle-aged man said, "Ready."

Ye Feidao: "Then let's start the test!"

"Yes, Dean!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he left and started asking people to start the test.

Soon, controllable nuclear fusion started.

Although this is in the northwest, it is close to Lake Hala. Lake Hala is the largest saltwater lake in Xia Kingdom and is rich in deuterium and tritium.

Therefore, deuterium and tritium can also be extracted from the water in Lake Hala.

The Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is on the edge of Hala Lake, only more than a thousand meters away from Hala Lake.

Through underground pipelines, the water from Lake Hala is transported into controlled nuclear fusion.

Ye Fei looked at Qi Yong and said, "Director Qi, let's go there!"

"Okay!" Qi Yong nodded.

Immediately, the two walked towards the monitoring room.

In the monitoring room, you can monitor all the data of controllable nuclear fusion.

After the two entered the monitoring room, there were many people working inside.

Ye Fei looked at the large screen hanging on the wall, which displayed all the data of controllable nuclear fusion in real time.

Ye Feixin said: "The lake water has entered controllable nuclear fusion. It depends on whether it can be converted into deuterium and tritium."

Ye Fei's heart also started to get nervous.

All previous experiments were based on theoretical research.

The test is to verify whether the results of their experiments are successful.

After a while, Ye Fei couldn't help but clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Okay, deuterium and tritium have been converted successfully!"

Qi Yong on the side was startled by Ye Fei's slap, but after hearing Ye Fei's words, he said excitedly: "Did the first step succeed?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded slightly: "The first step has been successful. After that, as long as deuterium and tritium are converted into energy, controllable nuclear fusion will be basically successful."

"I am very confident about the energy storage, and there will basically be no problems."

Energy storage technology is not a difficult technology, and some countries have developed it a long time ago.

Later, Ye Fei also developed the technology.

Ye Fei did not make much changes to this technology, and still used it in controllable nuclear fusion according to conventional energy storage technology.

Next, Ye Fei and the others continued to watch the big screen.

Ye Fei watched deuterium and tritium enter the fifth level of controllable nuclear fusion, and his heart pounded.

There are eight levels of controllable nuclear fusion. The first level is where lake water enters, the second to fourth levels are to extract deuterium and tritium from lake water, and the fifth to seventh levels are to convert deuterium and tritium into energy.

The fifth to seventh levels are also the core technologies in controllable nuclear fusion.

If there is no problem from the fifth to seventh levels, deuterium and tritium can be converted into energy smoothly.

Then, controllable nuclear fusion represents a successful research and development.

Of course, the premise is that there are no problems in the next six months of testing.

Ye Fei stared at the big screen tightly and found it difficult to breathe.

Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief until he saw deuterium and tritium being successfully converted into energy.

Then, a smile appeared on Ye Fei's face: "Succeeded."

Qi Yong on the side was stunned, looked at Ye Fei and asked: "Did it succeed?"

Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it worked."

Ye Fei turned to look at the rest of the people in the monitoring room and smiled: "Controllable nuclear fusion has successfully converted energy for the first time."

"Bah bang bang..." Soon, thunderous applause erupted in the monitoring room.

After the applause stopped, Ye Fei said with a smile: "As long as there are no problems in the next six months of testing, controllable nuclear fusion will be considered a success."

"Dean, there will definitely be no problem." Someone laughed.

"Yes, Dean, there will definitely be no problem."

"..."

Everyone was chattering.

They said this, firstly, to wish that there would be no accidents in the half-year test, and secondly, to cheer themselves up and hint that the test would pass smoothly.

Qi Yong said: "Academician Ye, I want to report this news to the superiors immediately."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Go and make Geng Si happy."

Qi Yong nodded and left the monitoring room.

After leaving the monitoring room, he immediately called Geng Ye and reported the news to him.

Geng Ye smiled and said: "Very good, Qi Si, you will stay at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute and wait until the test is over. If you have any situation, please report to me."

"Okay, Gengs!"

Half a year later, the test passed successfully!

Controllable nuclear fusion was successfully developed! (End of chapter)
