Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The term “cold nuclear fusion” is a very awkward proposition in academia, because it is often not interesting with it.

This concept was first introduced in the 1920s, and two German chemists Panis and Peters proposed in 1926 year on the idea of ​​nuclear fusion at room temperature. They found the enthalpy in the permeate by passing hydrogen through the heated palladium asbestos, and confirmed that the fusion reaction occurred and published the research on Nature.

This thesis, once it appeared, immediately caused quite a sensation, but it was quickly criticized by Ruthford, the then president of the Royal Society. In fact, in the follow-up experiments, the two did not repeat the experiment. Finally, the whole incident was identified as an oolong, ending with the retraction of Nature.

At the end of the 1980s, it was probably the highest tide of the entire cold nuclear fusion research. At a press conference at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, Fleischman and Pons published their latest research. That is, continuous nuclear fusion was achieved on the palladium electrode with a special heavy water electrode device at room temperature.

This discovery broke through the traditional notion that nuclear fusion can only be carried out at hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature, and that the controlled fusion researchers who have been unable to deliver on their promises have seen a new dawn. The sensation of this sensation has quickly swept across North America and even World, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Princeton PPPL Lab, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and many more than dozens of research institutions, even IBM’s private labs are involved in this race to chase new energy, and the media refer to the research results of the two as “the sun in a test tube.”

However, the good times did not last long. From the US nuclear power giant and the University of Utah experimental team signed a cooperative research and development agreement, the Italian Ministry of Science and Technology emphasized the priority of “cold nuclear fusion research”. The Office of the Secretary of State for Scientific Research of Belgium held a special meeting of experts, Moscow University of the Soviet Union. The first-rate research team is ready to roll out the study of cold fusion… and then to the end of the cool, not even a year.

This farce in the World range has also completely consumed the academic enthusiasm for cold fusion. Although a fairly rare research team is still persistently insisting on research in this field, the research on thermonuclear fusion has been dead for a long time, not to mention the huge cold nuclear fusion.

At present, the attitude of the entire academic community is to put aside the dispute and not completely deny it, but basically there is no hope.

As for whether there is a technical route that seems to be feasible…

There are still some things that are hard to say.

For example, “sound fusion.”

Although the word doesn’t sound too good.

After leaving the scene of the report, Sheng Xianfu did not go to Lu Zhou, but came to the National Quemoy University Institute of Acoustics.

At the end of the 1980s, all the worlds had done research on cold fusion, and China, which has been keeping an eye on the international academic community, is no exception. For example, the research team led by Chen Weizhong, Professor of the National Quemoy University Institute of Acoustics, once engaged in this topic of “sound fusion”, but unfortunately, it ended in failure.

The current conclusion is that although it cannot be fusion, it can emit light.

As for why it shines, it is still uncertain.

Before completing the blueprint in his heart, he needs to seek some help from the research of his predecessors…

“The data of cold nuclear fusion experiments more than 30 years ago?” After listening to Sheng Xianfu’s instructions, Chen Weizhong’s Professor suddenly sneered and shook his head and said, “You are wasting your time.”

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Sheng Xianfu tried to convince the elderly.

“Try it? I spent ten years trying it out, which proves that this path is not going to work. It is not for you to try again later.” Chen Weizhong smiled and said with a smile. When I wasted half of the expenses of the Acoustics, I finally got a pile of waste paper. Now let you waste a lot of time and waste the resources of the country to do this experiment? My conscience can’t go.”

It can be seen that the old Professor has been completely disheartened by the study of acoustic fusion.

But it is true that a decade of life was wasted and it was on a path that could not be achieved. This is not only his own research career, the expectations of the Institute, but also the students and researchers who followed him in this research.

however……

“I don’t think it’s waste paper,” stared at the turbid pupil of the old Professor. Sheng Xianfu said seriously, “it’s just that it hasn’t played its original value.”

Staring at Sheng Xianfu for a while, the old Professor did not say anything, slowly stood up and left the office.

About five minutes later, the old man took a crumpled note and walked in from the door.

“The Institute of Acoustics didn’t have much money. When I started this project, I was counting on it to make some achievements… but I finally failed.” I calmly handed this data to Sheng Xianfu’s hands. Chen Weizhong Professor looked at Sheng Xianfu and continued. “If this stuff can help you a little, you can use it.”

If it really comes in handy…

He felt that he would feel better in his heart.

I took over the notes that recorded the experimental data. Sheng Xianfu solemnly nodded: “I will use it properly.”

……

After getting the experimental data, Sheng Xianfu returned to the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies and began to sketch out the blueprint in his heart.

When he was in the Southwest, he had been studying plasma physics and was more engineering-oriented than theory. Now suddenly I have to do research on the theoretical direction, and he obviously feels struggling.

A lot of things have not been touched for a long time, he has even forgotten now, so in addition to reading the literature, in some places he even has to resort to reference books in order to complete the theoretical deduction.

However, fortunately, these difficulties can be overcome.

It took ten days to study and study on this side. He finally completed the technical feasibility study on “the fusion reaction at a relatively low temperature”, and found Lu with this thesis. Zhou’s office.

When he arrived at the office, Lu Zhou was thinking about what was on the draft paper on the table.

Gently knocked on the door, Sheng Xianfu said.

“I’m coming.”

Without stopping the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou simply asked, “Well, is there anything?”

“With regard to the problem of controllable fusion miniaturization, I have a little bit… other thoughts,” looked at thesis in his hand and was preparing to hand it over to Lu Zhou. Sheng Xianfu was somewhat uncertain.

“Is it convenient to show it to me?”

“That’s not it,” Sheng Xianfu was a little embarrassed, and finally made up his mind to put thesis on his desk. “That’s that… don’t laugh at me after you read it.”

“how come?”

Stopped the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou picked up thesis from the table and read it carefully.

In this way, time passes by.

Standing at the desk, Sheng Xianfu, who was waiting for the result, took a deep breath for the tenth time.

At this time, Lu Zhou finally finished watching thesis in his hand, laughed.

“Your imagination is quite rich.”

Sheng Xianfu’s face showed a bitter smile.

Didn’t you say that you didn’t laugh at me?

He coughed and he explained.

“I also feel very rich, don’t take it seriously, this is just my cranky thoughts -“

“You don’t need to admit your mistakes. Academic discussion should not presuppose the premise of correctness. We have the possibility of making mistakes in front of the truth, and we all have the right possibility.” Interrupted his words, Lu Zhou will light thesis. Lightly placed on the table, watching him continue, “not to mention, this time we still think of a piece.”
