This civilization is very strong, but the technology tree is a bit crooked

"Controlled nuclear fusion?"

Chen Yi was stunned: "There's no need to be so fierce, is there?"

Originally, he thought that he could build a decay battery pack of hundreds of kw at most, and a fission reactor of several thousand kw at most, and then use the thermoelectric power generation effect and radiation volt effect to convert energy into electrical energy.

Although this is lower than the energy efficiency of boiling water to generate electricity.

But it can minimize the volume of the reactor, so it should not be a big problem to move it to the aircraft.

Realistic decay battery packs are already well established in spacecraft.

For example, the decay battery pack of Voyager 1 claims that the power will not be exhausted for 100,000 years.

It's just that Chen Yi now needs a little bit more power.

The fission reactor is also similar. The actual fission nuclear power plant is so huge, mainly because the boiling water generator set occupies most of the volume, and the safety design occupies most of the volume for the rest.

Just remove the boiling water generating set and replace it with thermoelectric power generation and radiation power generation.

Then through the system, the safety design is optimized and reduced.

The volume of the entire fission stack can be reduced to about the same as that of a decay battery pack, and there is no problem in moving it to an aircraft.

more importantly.

The above two, in reality, already have mature or semi-mature solutions.

Chen Yi used it, except that his brain was a little bigger, but it was actually not too abrupt.

but controlled nuclear fusion

This thing is too fierce.

Except for the past few years, the country has broken through the upper limit of experiments one after another like chicken blood.

Taking the strength of more than a dozen countries in the world before, there has been no breakthrough in research for decades.

But even though the country has been playing chicken blood in the past few years, it has broken through the upper limit one after another.

But the overall system is still in the stage of burning the stove.

That is to increase the temperature of the plasma, increase the time of magnetic confinement, and carry out simulation experiments instead of actually putting in nuclear fuel for actual experiments.

To describe it vividly, the long march of controlled nuclear fusion has only taken the first step, and the remaining ninety-nine steps are all theoretical.

He is a machine engineer, and in order to develop a better machine, he came up with nuclear fusion technology. It's too embarrassing to say it.

"If you want to add an energy reactor to your drone, pack your things quickly, and I will take you to live in the mountains in the northwest for a few years."

"The group of people who have been hiding their names in the deep mountains and have been engaged in nuclear research for more than ten years have heard of your name a long time ago, so I happened to go over to chat with them."

When Professor Zhang heard this, he quickly pulled Chen Yi, his expression full of surprise and authenticity.

After dozens of days of research and work together at the Rongfei base, he knew how abnormal Chen Yi's research talent was.

Even in fields that you haven't touched before, you can master them very deeply after studying for a few days and a week, and you can even make further research breakthroughs.

I really want to kidnap this guy and live in the mountains in the northwest for a few years.

Good guy, the domestic nuclear industry has not been able to rocket into the sky, soaring in a straight line.

"."

The corner of Chen Yi's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly took two steps back.

Just kidding, let him go to the mountains in the northwest to live for dozens of days, one or two months is fine, live for a few years. Yifei just goes bankrupt and forgets.

"Old Zhang, you are abducting me now."

"Tomorrow, the whole country will be able to celebrate with joy, saying that Yifei was defeated by them."

"Well"

Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment: "I almost forgot that you are still the core public figure in the competition between the two sides.

If he really wants to disappear for a few months, the other party will definitely make a fuss about it.

In this way, you can only go to Hecheng, Ontario, to see the EAST nuclear fusion project. "

"Forget it in the past."

Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "Please help me with a sentence.

10 kg of helium-3 element.

Some of the data they have already researched, as well as relevant literature reports.

I just built a spotlight tower on the moon for the opposite side today. I don’t know how the other side reacts. I haven’t gone out for two months. "

Lessons learned from Persian scientists.

Chen Yi still cared about his own safety.

These days, he intends to ask Xuannv to investigate carefully to see if there are any broken jars on the opposite side.

After fully grasping the safety risks, consider going out.

"You want to build it yourself at the base?"

Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Chen Yi to make such a choice.

"Of course, I can do nuclear fusion at the base, right?"

"This thing will go out if it is out of control. It is very safe, and there will be no risk of uncontrollable decay elements or fission elements."

Chen Yi answered naturally.

Where you go, don't tell if you are not used to it.

A single very simple technology, or a technology that can be mastered with just a single adjustment of the system.

It's too uncomfortable to pretend to think and study for a few days.

Controlled nuclear fusion devices are different from other decay and fission elements.

Fusion elements do not have radiation, and the reaction requires tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of temperatures.

Even if it is out of control, the reaction will stop by itself when the magnetic confinement fails and the temperature drops.

It will not be like a fission nuclear power plant. Out of control means that an area becomes wasteland.

He does it in the base by himself, so there is no need to worry about danger or radiation.

"Let me get in touch, it should be fine."

Professor Zhang thought about it and agreed.

This matter, in his view, is not a big problem.

Whether it is the above or the EAST nuclear fusion project, they will be happy with such a transaction.

The current EAST fusion project is an official project.

China is also a member of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program.

Strictly speaking, if the EAST nuclear fusion project team really wants to develop controllable nuclear fusion, it is necessary to share some technologies with other countries.

Although it is impossible to share this for free, if you can completely control it yourself, it is definitely better to control it completely by yourself. The right to speak and the initiative will be more sufficient.

Now Yifei is working on one more nuclear fusion project alone.

There is no need to occupy large scientific research funds.

No one else can use the agreement of the ITER project to request any technology sharing if they really want to come up with any technology.

They are all their own things, and the sound of tapping the table can be louder.

As for the EAST nuclear fusion project itself, with 10 kilograms of helium-3 elements, deuterium-helium fusion bypasses the problems of neutron irradiation and tritium self-sustainability.

Maybe it is still in the stage of burning the stove, and the real fusion test can be carried out directly.

"In this case, hurry up, I just happen to be free during this time."

Chen Yi thought for a while, and the straight line to the moon has been completed.

Although due to communication delays.

Most of them give an instruction, and the specific operation is automatically controlled by the program.

It is not as good as flying a drone at close range on the ground, and the experience of completely operating it by yourself is cool.

But the new experience of erecting a lighthouse on the opposite side and building a throne for the SpaceX moon landing made up for this part of the shortcoming.

Feel the real moon landing experience.

Next, Chen Yi felt that he was not interested in flying to the moon for the time being.

To fly, it is estimated that it will fly in the atmosphere.

Or wait for the technology to be updated, and then experience flying to Mars and the asteroid belt.

As for moon mining, just leave it to Xuannv.

In this way, during the period before Hua Arm Zhang got married, he was completely free, just in time to engage in nuclear fusion.

Finish talking with Lao Zhang.

Soon, the next morning.

A security guard took a confidential hard drive and handed it to Chen Yi.

At the same time, a special vehicle that was usually used to transport logs and was extremely stable drove into the Penghai base.

The space-based ion cannon was packaged and packaged, and the front and rear professional security personnel opened the way to escort them.

Grab a clearance for overhead satellite monitoring.

The vehicle drove out of the base and disappeared at the end of the road.

"I don't know when this thing will be launched. When it really comes to its debut, I believe the other side will be very surprised."

Chen Yi watched the log cart leave, took the hard drive up to the third floor, and checked that the data was all right.

Then he pulled out his own virtual helmet and imported the hard disk data into it.

"I haven't studied formally for a long time."

"This time, give nuclear fusion a face."

Put on your helmet.

Turn on the learning status.

Chen Yi felt his head becoming dizzy, and his vision began to blur.

After a few seconds.

There was a thrill all over my body.

It's like entering a new world, and the picture in front of you has changed.

A new teacher, dressed as a professional teacher, is walking towards him

Hazy, vague, coupled with a dreamlike feeling, it fills the learning atmosphere at once.

"This preview session is as good as ever."

Chen Yi cheered inwardly.

After completing an exciting preview, the real learning state begins.

This time, Chen Yi became an undergraduate student majoring in physics.

Because of his superior talent, he completed the master's course in his freshman year, and then chose the research direction of plasma physics and condensed matter physics to continue his research.

After a lot of hard study and research.

Before he was 28 years old, he beat most of his peers and became a top expert in international plasma physics and condensed matter physics. He was invited to join the EAST nuclear fusion project team to lead the completion of controllable nuclear fusion research.

Controllable nuclear fusion is mainly a reaction that imitates the fusion mechanism of stars to fuse light elements and release energy.

However, the pressure environment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of atmospheres inside a star cannot be created by the outside world.

As a result, the temperature required to achieve nuclear fusion is much higher than the internal temperature of a star.

Deuterium-tritium fusion, the reaction temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius.

Deuterium-helium 3 fusion, the reaction temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

Such a terrifying temperature, no matter in the universe can withstand it.

The only way is to use the chargeability of the plasma, and through the confinement of the magnetic field, confine the plasma with such a terrifying temperature within a certain range, maintain the stability of the temperature, and maintain the progress of the reaction.

According to this basic principle.

Chen Yi led the team to successively tackle the superconducting cooling problem of the reaction device, overcome key problems such as magnetic islands, magnetic field coherence, and super-strong magnetic field, solve the problem of magnetically confined magnetic field stability, and overcome the problem of microwave ignition.

Completed the physical model of deuterium-tritium fusion in Tokamak, completed the physical model of DHe3 deuterium-helium fusion, and overcome the problem of long-term plasma confinement.

And the constrained temperature has been broken from several million degrees Celsius to tens of millions of degrees Celsius, and then to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius for long-term maintenance.

But even here, look up.

The road ahead is still as long as the sky, I don't know when it will be the dawn, let alone when it will end

"call!"

After returning from the virtual learning state, Chen Yi breathed out as if waking up from a dream.

Disaster!

too difficult!

Artificially create an environment of hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius.

It is also necessary to make this environment self-consistent and stable for a long time, and at the same time, the energy must be maintained with positive returns.

Even through virtual equipment and virtual learning, he can clearly feel how difficult it is to enter the mechanical ascension and enter the state of rational thinking and wisdom.

"According to the domestic EAST nuclear fusion project team, the current results of more than 1,000 seconds of plasma operation and 405 seconds of high-constraint steady-state operation can actually be tried for fusion ignition.

However, the neutron irradiation of deuterium-tritium fusion and tritium self-sustainability have not been solved.

Once the fusion test is performed, the device will be scrapped immediately.

And, calculated according to existing models.

Even if the fusion ignition is successful, the energy gain is negative.

That is, the energy consumed by the nuclear fusion reactor to maintain the reaction is higher than the effective energy output by the reaction, and it is several times higher.

The longer it runs, the more energy it loses.

The problems of neutron irradiation and tritium self-sustainability can also be solved by skipping deuterium-tritium fusion and performing deuterium-helium fusion.

But the energy gain is negative.

If this problem cannot be solved, there will be no hope for nuclear fusion devices forever, and the ignition test is just ridiculous."

Thoroughly digest the data and technology provided by the EAST nuclear fusion project team.

Chen Yi took off the virtual helmet.

After thinking for a while, I finally decided on three directions for joint solutions.

Superconducting materials, improved magnetic confinement, plasma vortex shock.

"It's time to launch an assault on high-critical room temperature superconducting materials!"

Chen Yi glanced at the live broadcast of the moon landing, harvested nearly 200 million consciousness waves, and had full confidence in the charge of room temperature superconducting materials.

Materials are the foundation of everything.

If room temperature superconducting materials break through.

Yifei and all the technologies he has mastered will undergo earth-shaking changes, with performance doubled or even exponentially improved!

PS: I don’t have so much time to take care of children, so I will update almost 8,000 words today, and start tomorrow, and restore three chapters and 10,000 updates.
