The Technology Tree of Xueba

Lu Jinming, president of the aerospace business group, and Feng Yunde, head of the Materials Research Institute, stepped into Zhou Yu's office.

Two others also came to Zhou Yu's office.

The two are Xu Rui, a high-temperature materials scientist at the Institute of Materials Research, and Zhong Haiyang, a theoretical scientist in nuclear physics at the Institute of Basic Sciences.

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Rui and asked solemnly again, "Scientist Xu, are you sure you want to follow the astronaut to the space laboratory?"

He received Xu Rui's application to go to the space laboratory for research, and then he recruited these people together to discuss the incident, because Xu Rui's research results were too important.

The success or failure of this research result is related to Spark Technology's controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Xu Rui solemnly said, "I have to go to the space laboratory to observe the material forming process, and it is absolutely necessary.

Even if neutrino communication transmits information at the speed of light, there is a communication delay between the earth and space laboratories, and the experimental process changes rapidly, and we have no time to give orders. "

Feng Yunde also introduced, "The materials used in the manufacture of controlled nuclear fusion reactors are limited by the environment and the raw materials that cannot be eliminated during the manufacture of extreme materials. The entire reaction process is very variable.

It is necessary to operate quantum computer programs according to the actual conditions of the materials to control the changes in the reaction process.

This material cannot be manufactured on the ground, it can only be manufactured through a nuclear power plant, and people must be sent to a space laboratory.

Ordinary people can't operate yet, they must be the R & D personnel of this project.

Mr. Zhou, you put forward the theoretical design of this material, and only me and Xu scientists participated in the development of this project. "

Zhou Yu looked at Zhong Haiyang, and his opinion was an important reference in determining whether Xu Rui was going to heaven.

Zhong Haiyang sighed, "Nuclear fusion projects have now stalled and all theoretical work has been calculated. It is only the manufacturing of nuclear fusion reactors.

The manufacturing of nuclear fusion reactors lacks the most critical material. It needs to withstand a high temperature of 50 million degrees Celsius, and it also needs to withstand the tremendous pressure of nuclear fusion reactions.

Only in this way can the nuclear fusion reaction we designed go back and forth.

This condition is extremely difficult. The temperature in the center of the sun is only about 20 million degrees Celsius.

This is because the density of matter in the center of the sun is very high and the pressure is very large. The temperature required for the thermonuclear reaction is much lower. "

Zhong Haiyang showed a brief description of the principle of nuclear fusion, and also said, "Now the international mainstream nuclear fusion is realized by the tokamak device.

It is essentially a huge electromagnetic field that compresses ion groups consisting of deuterium and tritium through the electromagnetic field.

When the pressure, density, and temperature reach the appropriate conditions, a nuclear fusion reaction begins.

This is only a relatively mature theory, but it is too difficult to form this electromagnetic field, and many difficulties need to be overcome, and the safety of nuclear fusion devices must be guaranteed.

The most important thing is that its reaction process is not easy to control, and no controlled nuclear fusion reaction technology has been developed for so long.

The idea of ​​our company's nuclear fusion reaction is completely traditional. As long as we find one that can withstand the ultra-high temperature and super-strong pressure released by the nuclear fusion reaction.

By using such extreme materials to form a nuclear fusion reactor, a nuclear fusion reaction can be achieved.

The implementation of this fusion technology is very simple, and its only difficulty is the production of such extreme materials.

This material is very strong if it can withstand the environment in which the fusion reaction occurs. That kind of material can be placed in the center of the sun without being melted. "

When Zhong Haiyang was talking, he also used 3D dynamic pictures to show the process of nuclear fusion.

This is a reactor composed of extreme materials. Inside the reactor there are many cylindrical rods made of extreme materials with hollow thumb thickness.

For a nuclear reaction to take place, the first step requires heating a mixed gas of helium-3 to a plasma state.

The helium-3 was selected as the raw material for the thermonuclear reaction, mainly because helium-3 does not release neutrons and cause radiation during the thermonuclear reaction.

100 tons of helium-3 can provide the total amount of energy used worldwide for one year.

The temperature is high enough to allow the electrons to escape the nucleus of the nucleus and allow the nucleus to move freely.

At this time, it is possible to bring the naked nuclei into direct contact, which requires a high temperature of about 100,000 degrees Celsius.

In the second step, because all nuclei are positively charged, the same charge will repel. To get together, two nuclei must overcome strong electrostatic repulsion.

The closer the two atomic nuclei are, the greater the repulsive force generated by static electricity. Only when the distance between them is close to about 3 trillionths of a millimeter will the strong interaction force play a significant role. Pulled together to form a new nucleus, releasing huge amounts of energy.

To achieve this step, there must be enough pressure and the density of the raw material composition must be very high.

The conditions for a thermonuclear reaction are the right pressure, material density, and temperature.

In order to overcome the repulsive force between positron nuclei, the nuclei need to run at extremely fast speeds, and in order for the nuclei to reach this operating state, they need to continue to warm.

Under the conditions of the pressure and material density of the nuclear fusion reactor, the nuclear fusion material needs to be heated to 50 million degrees Celsius.

Make the Brownian motion of particles reach a crazy level. The higher the temperature, the faster the nucleus moves. So much so that they don't have time to avoid each other.

Three helium-3 nuclei fuse into a carbon nuclei, releasing powerful energy in the process.

After a period of operation of the reactor, the internal reactor does not need to be heated by external energy, and the temperature of nuclear fusion is sufficient for the nuclear nuclei to continue to fuse.

As long as the carbon nuclei are removed from the reactor in time, and new helium-3 ion gas is input into the reactor in time, nuclear fusion can continue.

A small part of the energy generated by nuclear fusion remains in the reaction body to maintain the thermonuclear reaction, and most of the energy is converted into electrical energy by a thermoelectric generator.

Zhou Yu looked at the data broadcast by Zhong Haiyang. This is the controlled nuclear fusion that Spark Technology is preparing to develop.

As Zhong Haiyang said, the principle of this controlled nuclear fusion technology path is not complicated.

No one used this method before, and this method was nothing short of ridiculous.

A material has to withstand high temperatures of up to 50 million degrees Celsius and withstand the enormous energy released by nuclear fusion reactions.

This extreme material has never been possible before.

Only the space factory of Spark Technology, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com through reasonable processing technology, according to the complex interatomic arrangement, processed high density materials with almost no gaps.

Such extreme materials can be used as a site for nuclear fusion reactions.

"Xu's proposal is tempting. The helium-3 thermonuclear reactor is a technology that must be overcome in the future."

Zhou Yu sighed. He looked at Lu Jinming and asked, "As a scientist who has not undergone rigorous training, can he take the space shuttle to the space laboratory safely."

Lu Jinming responded confidently: "Zhou, as long as you control the flight power of the space shuttle, you can carry ordinary people.

The physical reinforcement of the astronauts is to adapt them to the long-term life in space.

To and from space in a short time, anyone can do it as long as there is no defect in the body. "

Zhou Yu heard Lu Jinming's assurance and said with a serious expression: "Xu scientists have worked hard and formally launched a controlled nuclear fusion project."
