328 The Road from Science Fiction to Reality Is Long

"The fact is, it is impossible to use chemical fuel to drive the spacecraft? Even if our initial goal is to build a spacecraft sailing in the solar system, it is impossible to use chemical fuel as energy!

However, the most important thing for you, the boss, is to determine the direction of research and development. 1. Gravity field constraints; 2. Inertial constraints; 3. Magnetic constraints, which of the three methods should we choose.

One of the main controllable nuclear fusion methods: laser-constrained (inertial-constrained) nuclear fusion (such as my country's Shenguang plan, Lao Mei's national ignition plan are all in this form).

Magnetically constrained nuclear fusion (tokamak, star simulator, magnetic mirror, reverse field, spherical ring, etc.), this method is currently considered to be the most promising.

We must first determine the direction of research and development, and then we can plan the subsequent research and development work, otherwise it will be like a headless fly like a clueless chaos!Kuafu suggested.

Lei Tiantang nodded in agreement. Through such a long period of study, he has already understood the relevant research and development directions of nuclear fusion. To be honest, Lei Tiantang admires the brains of these scientists. They use their own Wisdom has laid the foundation for the future of nuclear fusion energy, but at present everyone is still in the preliminary research and development stage of nuclear power generation.

For the development of fusion energy, it has been studied for 50 years, and it is expected that it will be widely used in 50 years. What is the reason?What can be answered now is:

One is to understand or preliminary to plasma; plasma is also called plasma. It is an ionized gas-like substance composed of positive and negative ions produced by atoms and atomic groups after partial electron deprivation. The scale is larger than Debye length The macroscopically electro-neutral ionized gas, its movement is mainly dominated by electromagnetic force, and shows significant collective behavior.

It exists widely in the universe and is often regarded as the fourth state of matter except solid, liquid, and gas.Plasma is a very good electrical conductor. It uses a cleverly designed magnetic field to capture, move and accelerate the plasma.

The development of plasma physics has provided new technologies and processes for the further development of materials, energy, information, environmental space, space physics, geophysics and other sciences.

Many of the engines used in spaceships in science fiction movies and novels are so-called "plasma engines", that is, plasma engines. He can provide sufficient kinetic energy for the spaceship, allowing the spacecraft to travel at a speed close to the speed of light, and even enter the super space. Light speed driving state!

Lei Tiantang doesn't think that these applications of plasma can be realized only in science fiction movies or novels. As long as he continues to work hard in this area, science fiction will come into reality!His spacecraft also needs such kinetic energy!

The second is that the various technologies that support magnetic confinement (superconductivity, low temperature, ultra-high vacuum, microwave, materials, etc.) are very complicated, because the deuterium-tritium reaction needs to generate 14MeV of strong neutron radiation, and it also needs to treat hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature plasma. The body maintains for quite a long time, which poses a challenge to the accumulation of existing human technology;

The third is that the world has yet to form a consistent timetable for the development of great changes. It is difficult to concentrate human, material and financial resources.In this regard, Lei Tiantang is very tempted to say that the capitalists will never let inexhaustible energy like nuclear fusion come out before fossil energy is exhausted.

Without money, there is no way to study such technology, and capitalists who provide funding can control this research and development process. Why is nuclear fusion power generation always 50 years away from success?

The people are not fools, but even if everyone knows the reason, there is no way to change the status quo, because without capital, there is no right to speak!This world is so realistic!The capitalists will never really make a nuclear fusion power generation project successful without cutting the wool of fossil energy. Even if it succeeds, it will delay the construction and use of this energy!

It is also a joke to count on cooperation between countries to promote such R&D projects. Take the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, which is currently the most famous international cooperation project.

There are several investors, and the total investment amount is more than 10 billion US dollars, but everyone does not want to pay more. It is just a matter of who should pay more money. After all, it is a matter of money. No one wants to have more, and it took a long time to argue before reaching an agreement.

Then there is the construction problem. The entire project has not yet been completed. The reactor is scheduled to achieve its first plasma in December 2025.This means that the reactor will be able to generate a large amount of charged gas called plasma inside its core.Deuterium and tritium fusion experiments are planned to begin in 2035.

From this cooperation project, it can be seen that international cooperation is also unreliable, unless the world is now unified into one country, and then it is possible to achieve such a thing.

Lei Tiantang can't wait that long, who knows what will happen in such a long time?What happens in a year when a large meteorite falls down, and the entire civilization of the earth is finished?

So it’s still up to him to do it himself. He researches in private, but he can research as much as he wants. He can start manufacturing anything. There is no need to use company funds to support his research. I believe that the speed of research will never be slow. Where did you go?

"We chose the development direction of magnetically constrained nuclear fusion! I am still very strong in this development direction. The celestial body with the strongest magnetic field is undoubtedly a black hole, and the strongest magnetic field among black holes is the largest black hole with the largest volume.

Although the black hole owned by the boss is a small black hole, the strength of the magnetic field is almost no rival except for the super-large black hole. There is such a best physical target to study the magnetic field. I want to develop a magnetic field that binds nuclear fusion energy. I think it's still very easy for me!

As for whether to choose the structure of tokamak, stellarator, magnetic mirror, reverse field, spherical ring, we have to consider and study, and even in the end we may choose at least two structures to study , Because I think large nuclear fusion power generation equipment and small nuclear fusion power generation equipment may not be a structure!

Let's study these things slowly, anyway, it is impossible to complete the research in one step, there are more possibilities for more paths!

By the way, did you tell me last time that it is not enough to add so many R&D projects to your computing power all at once?I’m going to add more units to you tonight. How many units do I need to add this time to meet R&D needs for a period of time in the future?"
