Chapter 450 Catalyst

The sun is rising in the east as usual.

At 8:30 in the morning, the employees of Mozi Technology clocked in on time to enter the experimental area.

It’s all calm and looks the same as yesterday.

However, some sensitive employees smelled a tense breath in the air: the security guards at the door were replaced by black uniforms, and the laboratory suddenly entered a Level 2 alert state.

What’s even more strange is that Professor Li Mo has been in the high energy physics laboratory for 7 consecutive days.

7 days, what can ordinary people do?

The artist can complete a simple sketch.

A salesperson can handle a single business.

The takeaway little brother can go around Yanjing.

A programmer can fix a piece of ancient code.

All Mozi Technology employees know that in 7 days, Professor Li Mo can solve a world problem, propose a theory enough to win a Nobel Prize, or complete the design of the Navigator.

So, everyone is looking forward to the professor’s new discoveries.

In the high-energy physics laboratory, there is a silver “boiler”, and the blue and green warning lights on the control panel flash alternately, making a sound of “weng weng”.

Li Mo, dressed in protective clothing, used a dropper to drip a dark green mixture cautiously into a glass tube extending from the “boiler”.

Beside him, an old man also wearing a protective suit looked at the few drops of liquid flowing into the “boiler” with a distressed face: “Boss, is this the 201st time?”

“Professor Jane, you made a mistake.”

Li Mo saw that the liquid flowed completely into the “boiler” along with the glass pipe, and he breathed a sigh of relief, said with a bitter smile: “If you count several operational mistakes, it should be the 208th time.”

“Each reaction needs to drop 1 million worth of liquefied californium alloy reagent.” Jian Taiyang quickly calculated and gave An unbelievably large number: “We have wasted more than 2 billion in 7 days!”

“This is really burning money”

Jian Taiyang shook his head repeatedly: “It’s not so fast to burn money. How many kilograms of wheat can more than 2 billion buy. tsk tsk.”

“I think back then, when I was a small researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics, my monthly salary was Only 10 yuan. This is the 10 yuan, in addition to supporting myself, I also need to subsidize my young brother who is in high school”

“2 billion.tsk tsk”

Every time Jian Taiyang said, it made Li Mo feel uncomfortable. He looked at the small amount of dark green liquid left in the test tube on the table, and muttered in his heart, “Why don’t we do the experiment and sell this thing?”

If it doesn’t work, then I’m going to shuffle the head heavily. Based on the data calculated by Li Mo, the Zhurong Project team spent more than 3 months to find a Catalyst that can improve the probability of quantum tunneling in controllable nuclear fusion. Unfortunately, this Catalyst, which is mainly composed of liquefied californium alloy, is too expensive.

Californium was imported from Europe and cost $30 million per gram. Nuo was obtained by colliding high-level elements using a collider in the laboratory, and it is worth $40 million per gram.

The stingy Li Mo has been calculated, and at least 3 drops of Catalyst need to be added each time to increase the probability of quantum tunneling. The probability can indeed be improved, but he has to face a new problem.

The increase in probability is huge! In liquefied alloys, the formula ratio of different components can increase the probability of different grades.

Small probability is meaningless in the real world.

Therefore, the reason why Li Mo spent more than 2 billion and conducted more than 200 experiments was to get the Catalyst formula with the highest probability of improvement.

.

dark green liquid is a liquefied californium-nuclear alloy, and the “boiler” is a small controllable nuclear fusion generator.

Buzz~ Buzz~

As the Catalyst drips in, the rumbling inside the “boiler” gets even louder.

“Professor Li, the quantum tunneling probability inside the generator has been changed!”

“Some ions start to undergo nuclear fusion reaction, and the reaction percentage is 10%20%30%”

An experimenter stared at the data displayed on the big screen, reporting the data from the “boiler” in real time.

Li Mo couldn’t help but walk behind him, his eyes fixed on the beating numbers.

Response rate: 40%

Response rate: 50%

Response rate: 80%

Response rate: 90%

Response rate: 90%

Response rate: 90%

p>

Response rate: 95%

Response rate: 98%

The numbers stop beating, and the rising curve changes into a smooth line.

“It’s an increase of 1 percentage point from the last time, not bad!” Li Mo was delighted, the 1 million spent just now was worth the money, he pressed the headset: “Attention to the fusion generator control team, Prepare for the next round of experiments!”

There was a reply from my ear:

“Ignition group, received!”

“Monitoring group, received!”

Li Mo walked to the test bench, ready to re-proportion Catalyst.

“Boss, I think the 98% quantum tunneling probability is enough to achieve controllable nuclear fusion and meet the needs of Zhu Rong’s plan.” Professor Jian saw that he was “wasting” again and reminded him. .

Li Mo sighed, looking back: “Old Jane, there is a 98% probability that fusion can indeed be achieved, but according to the values I calculated with pure mathematics, there is a kind of collapse in the probability cloud.”

“Imagine that once the reactor is built, the probability of quantum tunneling suddenly collapses, making it impossible to control the progress of nuclear fusion.”

“What will happen then?”

Probability is a very magical thing. The success probability of a thing is as high as 99%. At a certain moment, it will also fail continuously. This is because a probabilistic cloud collapse occurs inside the event.

Li Mo’s research found that the boundary of quantum tunneling probability collapse in nuclear fusion is 99.1%. Only when the quantum tunneling probability is above 99.1 can the probability cloud collapse be completely avoided.

“.” Professor Jian was speechless.

The experiment continues.

The result of the 209th experiment: the probability of quantum tunneling is 98.2%

The result of the 219th experiment: the probability of quantum tunneling is 99%

The result of the 239th experiment : 99.1% quantum tunneling probability!

99.1%!

When Li Mo looked at the bright numbers flashing on the big screen, he jumped up excitedly: “Success!”

“We Mozi Technology succeeded!”

“Our country has succeeded!”

“From now on, energy will no longer be the imprison of our development, the stars and the sea are within reach!”

Lab Inside, there was a burst of excited cheers, they knew the importance of this experiment.

After being excited, Li Mo immediately issued an order through the headset: “Notify the chemical laboratory and immediately produce the first batch of Catalyst according to the Catalyst formula used in the 239th experiment.”

“Notify Zhurong Base and let them prepare for power-on!”

“The laboratory will immediately enter the Level 3 alert state until the Zhurong Base is successfully ignited!”

After a series of orders were issued, Li Mo Some dry mouth. He entered the cleaning room, took off his protective suit, and grabbed the water glass for a while.

After a moment, he seemed to think of something, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number he had never called.

The call is connected.

“Hey, the chief experiment was successful, and the official ignition is just around the corner!” Li Mo took a deep breath and reported the situation.

“Good!”

“Great!” The opposite side seemed startled for a moment, and quickly understood what he meant.
