From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The publication of the results of the controlled nuclear fusion experiment has aroused public opinion and academic enthusiasm continues to be hot.

This is because the effects of controlling fusion are too great.

Controlled nuclear fusion is considered to be the most promising technology, and it is also considered to be the main source of human energy in the future, mainly because its advantages are too great.

For example, the raw materials required for nuclear fusion are very abundant on the earth, especially the deuterium element, which can be said to be inexhaustible.

For example, nuclear fusion power generation is energy-intensive power generation, and the power generation efficiency will be very high, which can minimize the need for land use.

For example, during the reaction process of nuclear fusion, no greenhouse gases and harmful substances will be produced.

In addition, nuclear fusion has safety advantages. Unlike atomic fission, fusion will not produce any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste.

etc.

Such efficient and reliable clean energy will naturally receive widespread attention, and it will definitely have a huge impact on the development of human science and technology.

Now the Nuclear Fusion Engineering Corporation has announced the realization of the control of nuclear fusion, and it is the control of deuterium-deuterium fusion that has higher environmental requirements. It can definitely be described in four words——

Incredible!

The international academic field is already boiling.

Nuclear fusion is not a brand-new field. There are many scholars involved in the research. Many scholars discuss it from a technical point of view, and their opinions mainly focus on the difficulty of controlling deuterium-deuterium fusion.

Deuterium-tritium fusion is relatively lower, but it is already very difficult to control deuterium-tritium fusion.

There are two aspects that are most restricted. One is the material problem, and the other is the control of the reaction rate. The latter is relatively easy. As long as the internal temperature is controlled, the reaction rate can be effectively controlled.

The former is the biggest difficulty.

In terms of the development of the history of human science and technology, the development of materials plays a decisive role. The research of many technical directions is basically due to the different properties of materials.

If there is a material that can withstand the high temperature of millions of degrees Celsius, naturally any problem can be easily solved, and there is no need to study any control technology.

That is obviously impossible.

Therefore, there are various designs in the research of nuclear fusion control, and the tokamak device is only one of them, which is considered "the most feasible".

The problem with the tokamak device is that it is "too idealized". As long as there is a small problem in one part of the device, it will affect the operation of the entire device and become a big problem.

Also, the tomacak device didn't solve all the problems.

For example, alpha particles.

Alpha particles, helium-4 composed of two neutrons and two protons, are the product of light nuclear fusion, with a speed of up to 20,000 kilometers per second and a positive charge.

When α particles run in the medium and quickly lose energy, they cannot penetrate very far, and a piece of thin paper can directly block them, and they are not dangerous outside the organism.

But the crux of the problem is that α particles are the product of light nuclear fusion. Whether it is deuterium-deuterium fusion or deuterium-tritium fusion, α particles will be continuously produced, and α particles will become "impurities" that affect the fusion reaction. directly affect the reaction.

The tomacak device cannot solve the alpha particle problem. In other words, even if a perfect tokamak device is manufactured, the internal reaction cannot continue.

There are many similar problems.

The result information released now shows that 'the reaction has continued for more than a month', which means that all related problems have been resolved.

This really shocked the academic world.

"How are these problems solved? It's impossible to solve so many irrelevant problems just by using the annihilation force field technology?"

"Did they make a new design?"

"How to design?"

"I'm so curious to know how they solve these problems..."

"..."

The international academic community is discussing related matters, not only those scientists who study nuclear fusion, but also scholars in other fields can't help but participate in the discussion.

But in any case, the vast majority of people believe the public information.

One is because such a major engineering experiment is successful, the possibility of public fraud is too low, and the other is because of the participation of Wang Hao and the addition of the new scientific technology of annihilation force field.

"Globe" reported on the achievements of nuclear fusion control, and believed that "human technology is about to achieve revolutionary progress, and will quickly affect all aspects of life." '

There were also many emerging technologies and materials before, including upgraded materials, superconducting technology, etc., but most of them have not been popularized in the civilian field.

First-order lithium, that is, lithium batteries made of magnetized lithium materials, is the most contacted in the civilian field.

In the domestic market, high-end lithium-ion battery vehicles are selling well, and they have also developed into other fields, including electric bicycles and high-end electric motorcycles.

In the international market, the reaction is relatively delayed.

However, the number of upgraded lithium batteries delivered by domestic car companies to foreign countries is also very considerable, quickly occupying a part of the high-end market.

This is mainly because of cost.

The performance of lithium batteries made of magnetized lithium materials can be easily doubled, but the cost can be more than doubled, which makes the manufactured products somewhat expensive.

Power costs are also an issue.

With the large-scale popularization of electric vehicles, domestic electricity prices have risen twice in a row, and the cost of using charging facilities is also increasing.

In some traditional developed countries, the cost of electricity is more expensive than that of oil. Coupled with the high cost of the upgraded lithium battery itself, the sales volume for ordinary people will naturally be lower.

The high-end segment is different.

For example, some well-known international car companies will specialize in the manufacture of high-end sports cars with high speed. The use of upgraded lithium batteries can increase the output power, make the acceleration of the sports car faster, and increase the battery life by more than double. It has been favored by famous car brands.

"Globe" used "upgraded lithium battery" as an example, and analyzed that "technical upgrading has already begun", "after the realization of controlled nuclear fusion technology, efficient and stable nuclear fusion power generation facilities will bring a steady stream of energy to mankind. of electricity."

"In the future, energy will no longer be a problem, it will affect all aspects of technology, and further cover all areas of life."

"Human life will also undergo tremendous changes..."

...

Many people have paid attention to the International Energy Agency.

The International Energy Agency is an international organization related to energy. They have a branch called the Nuclear Fusion Center, which holds a large meeting of the Fusion Project Coordinating Committee every year.

This year's meeting was held in the capital of the country.

Originally, the content of the meeting was highly anticipated, because the Nuclear Fusion Center would assign work tasks and coordinate various member institutions for experimental cooperation, but the embarrassing thing is that the nuclear fusion engineering project of the flower planter has made great progress.

In this context, the so-called 'fusion project coordination' becomes meaningless.

However, there are still many people looking forward to the meeting, because the fusion physics research team of Huajia Academy of Sciences will participate.

The leader of the fusion physics research team, named Zhang Lin, is a nuclear fusion physics expert who has participated in the artificial sun project.

However, Zhang Lin did not participate in the nuclear fusion engineering project, he only attended the meeting as a representative, and he mainly focused on two words——

publicity!

Before the meeting started, many scholars asked Zhang Lin about the situation, and he also talked about some technical issues, for example, "What we have achieved is deuterium-deuterium fusion control, relying on the most advanced annihilation force field technology combined with the tokamak device to do it." Brand new design…”

"It has not yet reached the application stage, and there are many problems that need to be solved."

"It may be possible in the future, after the technology matures."

"Join in the research? Florists have always welcomed all kinds of talents, but whether they can join the project... I can't decide..."

Zhang Lin knew only so much.

The purpose of his team coming here is to carry out large-scale publicity, establish a high-end technological image for florists, and hope to attract more high-end talents to work for florists in the future.

When the purpose of publicity is achieved, the established work goal is completed.

As for the meeting...

It doesn't matter at all!

...

The impact of the research results of nuclear fusion engineering goes far beyond the public opinion and academic level. An unknown number of satellites in the world have already aimed at the central device of the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base.

To this end, the military has established a solid defense system around the area.

For example, a military airport was built, plus various types of air defense weapons, and a complete air defense system was established.

For example, a large number of troops are stationed, and each person and vehicle is checked in detail to ensure maximum safety.

Even, a large missile formation was sent.

The florist's defense of the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base has shown an attitude, "As long as the central device suffers external damage, it means that the war has begun."

"The scale of war will not be limited by the use of nuclear weapons."

This is a tough attitude towards the outside world.

In this environment, the nuclear fusion engineering project team and the F-ray experiment team are preparing to conduct a very important experiment--

F-ray release experiment of the Nuclear Fusion Center facility.

"Nuclear fusion is not just a technology", the central device does meet this sentence, the internal and external structure of the central device is consistent with the F-ray generating device, so it is possible to experiment with releasing F-rays in the outer layer.

"Be sure to ensure safety!"

"The stability of the device is the most important thing, but you must not cause a major accident because of the release of F-rays..."

"Safety, we must pay attention to it, and pay attention to it!"

Faced with such a major experiment, the leadership team came to the scene, and one of the decision makers came here. After he arrived, he kept emphasizing safety issues.

This is an experiment that makes people sweat.

The nuclear fusion center device has always been very stable, but if an opening is made in the peripheral magnetic field device, the stability of the internal reaction will be a challenge.

Wang Hao reassured the decision makers, "Theoretically speaking, there is no problem."

"We have conducted many F-ray generation experiments. The internal magnetic field will not be affected during the release process, and it will only increase the pressure on the opening, but the pressure is controllable."

"In the early stage of device design, we have considered the F-ray problem and designed two layers of magnetic fields, one for emergency protection and one for the peripheral magnetic field."

"The two work together."

"The F-ray is only controlled by the thin layer of the strong annihilation force field, and the entire thin layer will not be affected."

Next, Wang Hao talked about the goal of the experiment, and he said with great anticipation, "If f-rays can be successfully released, we have two pieces of data that must be detected."

"One is intensity."

"One is duration."

"Theoretically speaking, the released F-rays will last for at least five seconds, which means that it may become a powerful weapon against satellites."

"Intensity is also important."

"A stronger annihilation force field can help us understand the elements of upgrading, element changes under a strong annihilation force field...etc..."

Wang Hao is looking forward to the experiment.

Then……

Before the experiment started, he was forcefully arranged by the decision-maker to be 20 kilometers away, and the decision-maker himself continued to stay on the front line to watch the experiment.

This made him feel very depressed.

The words of the decision-maker are still in my ears, "You are much more important than us. If something goes wrong with me, there are many people behind who can do my job."

"You are different."

"No one can replace you, so your safety is the most important, even the slightest risk is not allowed..."

Wang Hao felt very depressed.

He had been looking forward to the experiment for a long time, but as a result, he, the person in charge of the experiment, was kicked out, and Xiang Qiansheng could only be replaced by Xiang Qiansheng to direct the experiment.

The good news is, someone is with him.

It's Tang Jianjun.

Tang Jianjun also felt very depressed, but thinking about being "protected" with Wang Hao, he felt a little excited and cried.

He was finally taken seriously!

So Tang Jianjun's expression was depressed and joyful, and occasionally he was disappointed when he heard the news from the other side of the communication, and occasionally he couldn't help laughing.

When Wang Hao stayed with him, he felt a little cautious and panicked.

The experiment time was chosen on a cloudy night, in an environment without lights, and the surroundings were pitch black.

Under Xiang Qiansheng's command, the F-ray release experiment went smoothly.

People around saw a black line appearing obliquely above the device, leading to the sky, because the sky is pitch black, and the black line can no longer be seen in the sky.

Black lines that last for a long time.

Many people felt that they watched it for a long time, but Wang Hao knew the data immediately, "The duration is 14.18 seconds."

Wang Hao shouted into the communication tool, "How much? Say it again!"

"14.18 seconds."

"——!"

Wang Hao put down the communication tool, exchanged a glance with Tang Jianjun, and sighed, "This time it's really a satellite weapon!"

Tang Jianjun pursed his lips vigorously and nodded, he also felt very excited.

In the past, F-rays were not very practical as satellite weapons because it was difficult to hit satellites in space at one time. The reason was that the speed of satellites was too fast.

Even if the trajectory of the satellite is accurately controlled, the electronic system still needs response time. Even if the deviation is 0.001 second, the deviation will become very large.

Now the problem is solved.

The F-ray can last for more than ten seconds, and it can be released to the front end of the satellite trajectory in advance, just waiting for the satellite to "hit" by itself.

Hit, made easy.

Tang Jianjun suddenly thought of a question, and asked, "Academician Wang, I remember hearing you say that F-rays may last forever, so what kind of energy intensity can support F-rays to last forever?"

"This can only be seen in experiments."

Wang Haodao, "If the internal energy strength supports the release of F-rays without affecting the supporting annihilation force field, it can continue forever."

"In terms of data, I personally estimate that if the F-rays last for more than 30 seconds, then there is a high probability that they will last forever."

"If the granular material is made of β elements, plus the built-in first-order deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction... probably it can be realized?"
