I Have A Super USB Drive

Naturally, Chen Chen didn't need Chen Chen to host the next press conference on Xingtian Project. He just had a conversation with Xia Yin, and Xiao X suddenly sent a message.

On the mobile phone, Xiao X sent a message: Just a few minutes ago, during the experiment of the inertial restraint reactor, there was a suspected atmospheric pressure leak.

Therefore, Chen Chen no longer cared about Xia Yin, turned around and left in a hurry.

Until he stepped out of the Black Light Arena, Chen Chen quickly got into Cheng Chao's car and said, "Superzi, drive to the spire at the fastest speed, hurry!"

But before finishing talking, Xiao X's voice came from the car stereo again: "My Godfather, in fact...just now it was a data error. Everything is normal in the inertial restraint reactor..."

Chen Chen: "..."

Cheng Chao looked at Chen Chen in the rearview mirror curiously, "Boss, are you still going to the steeple now?"

"Go, I'll stop by."

Chen Chen waved his hand and said helplessly.

Suddenly, the vehicle started slowly and left the Black Light Arena.

The inertial confinement reactor in Xiao X mouth is the nuclear fusion device developed by Chen Chen according to the plane technology of "Elysium". Since the end of last year, various consortia have provided him with a large number of high-precision laser components according to Chen Chen's requirements. .

Even Chen Chen discovered that some of these laser components turned out to be spare parts for the official NIF facilities in North America, and I don’t know what methods these families used to even get laser generators from the NIF project.

After the reactor was assembled, after several months of experiments, this inertial confinement reactor has been successfully ignited thirteen times in succession, causing the deuterium-tritium fuel inside to undergo nuclear fusion reaction, forming a miniature sun with a diameter of one centimeter.

Not only that, after many parameter corrections, this inertial fusion reaction can be maintained for more than five minutes, and the Q value easily broke through the number 10, reaching as much as 18 points.

Seeing that the world's first truly controllable nuclear fusion reactor was about to succeed, but when the atmospheric pressure leaked, Chen Chen was naturally panicked.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Half an hour later, when Chen Chen arrived at the Minaret Experimental Base by elevator, he happened to see a newly erected giant building at the southwest corner of the underground space.

This is a shed-like building similar to an assembly line factory. At this time, dozens of black knights are coming in and out here, looking very busy.

This shed-like building is the inertial restraint power station built by Chen Chenxin.

Unlike nuclear fission power plants, nuclear fusion is a completely clean energy source. The only substance produced after the reaction is water, and because of the harshness and particularity of nuclear fusion, once the reactor fails, the reaction will automatically stop. There will be accidents such as the proliferation of nuclear radiation.

Therefore, Chen Chen is very relieved to build the nuclear fusion factory in the minaret experimental base underground.

As Chen Chen walked into the factory building, he saw a huge cylindrical building with a diameter of more than 30 meters in front of him.

The whole building is made of reinforced concrete, and inside the five-meter-thick building is the inertial confinement reactor.

Who could have imagined that at this moment in this huge building-like building, there is a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees and an ultra-high pressure of more than 100 billion atmospheres that the earth has never had before?

Chen Chen looked at the console on the side, then raised his head and asked, "X, what's the situation now?"

"Now 15 consecutive ignitions have been successful, the reaction time of the inertial confinement fusion reactor has exceeded one hour, and the Q value has exceeded 20 so far."

"Has the problem of insufficient stability been resolved?"

Chen Chen couldn't help raising his eyebrows. "I remember that in the previous experiment, the normal temperature superconductor could not completely stabilize the plasma, right?"

Xiao X replied, "The reason why it is difficult to stabilize is that once the plasma undergoes nuclear fusion, it will become very turbulent, and the reaction will stop due to the occurrence of flying phenomenon. In order to solve this problem, I specially went to major world-renowned forums to propose Offer a reward and modify the background data so that my question is worth hundreds of experience points."

"In other words, whoever can solve my reward problem can get more than a hundred points of experience on the site."

"In order to gain experience, those high-energy physicists have offered suggestions and came up with 341 methods, but in my opinion they are useless."

"In the end, I got a really useful answer from an ID named'Sakikawa, son of Zhaohe's.'"

Little X continued, “Add 0.1mg of heavy elements to the deuterium-tritium fuel pellets as the inner core, because the heavy elements will accumulate toward the center of the sphere, so after the fusion reaction occurs, the pellets will remain at a certain high temperature and pressure to maintain The plasma temperature and the pressure towards the center of the sphere."

"Because this pressure is maintained, the ball does not immediately undergo omnidirectional fusion. Part of the plasma energy on the surface will be released to the surrounding reaction chamber, keeping the two in balance. The ball will neither expand nor Shrink, and the fuel of the pellet will be squeezed to the surface to participate in the reaction, making the reaction more durable and stable..."

"It's so simple?"

Chen Chen looked surprised, "Could that person turn out to be a genius in high-energy physics? X, can you find out his true identity?"

"I have checked. This person has opened a studio with only one person, and is responsible for writing advocacy, network navy, trademark squatting and many other businesses."

"..."

It has to be said that no matter how sophisticated the nuclear fusion equipment that Chen Chen copied here, and how to restore the technology of the plane of "Elysium", there is always a technological generation gap.

However, what Chen Chen didn't expect was that Xiao X actually took a different approach and used a brainstorming approach to solve a major problem. Although doing so would cause the reactor power to not reach the original level, it was enough for Chen Chen.

In fact, the fundamental meaning of the so-called inertial confinement nuclear fusion is to hit the energy of multiple lasers on a very small target containing nuclear fuel in a very short time to create a micro-nuclear fusion and release a large amount of energy. .

After the first nuclear fusion is over, the reactor will automatically be filled with new fuel targets. In this way, nuclear fusion will be ignited again and again to obtain a large amount of energy.

The real difficulty in this is that in addition to the supersymmetric laser components, there is another point that requires the laser generator to consume a huge amount of electricity to ignite and form a fusion reaction.

In other words, even if it is not enough to form a nuclear fusion reaction, the energy generated by the nuclear fusion reaction must be greater than the energy consumed by the ignition of the laser generator.

Therefore, here we have to mention the gain factor of nuclear fusion energy-"Q value".

The ratio of "output energy to input energy" is called "Q value". Q greater than 1 means "output is greater than input". If you count the cost, if it is a boiler-burning steam turbine, the "thermal efficiency" is about 40%-70%. Counting some other losses, roughly Q=2.5 can be considered a real cost price.

In other words:

At Q0, the realization of fusion reaction is a sign of a breakthrough in the principle of human fusion reactors.

At Q1.0, the output energy is greater than the input energy, which is a sign of "break-even".

Q2.5, the output energy is still greater than the input energy after being converted into electrical energy. This is the real sign of the breakthrough in the "practical" of nuclear fusion.

Q50 is a sign that profit can be realized after the output energy is converted into electric energy and can be "commercialized".

Therefore, there is a common saying in the high-energy physics community: "If you don't talk about the controllable nuclear fusion of the Q value, you are actually playing hooliganism."

The Q value of Chen Chen's inertial confinement fusion reactor at this time has been brushed to as much as 20, and the maintenance cost has long been more than sufficient.

The only regret is that Chen Chen did not use the "boiled water" method to generate electricity, because the underground space is insufficient to withstand a large amount of hot gas emissions, so Chen Chen uses the "magnetic fluid power generation" technology with low power conversion efficiency.

This technology is not a technology in the plane of "Elysium Space", but one of the technologies that already exists in reality, and its principle is very simple.

The miniature sun in the reactor is actually a high-temperature plasma confined by a magnetic field, and the plasma is also a charged particle system composed of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles. According to the Lorentz force, as long as the magnetic fluid device The charged particles are concentrated on the two-pole conductors to generate a potential difference, and then as long as the wire is connected, the current can be directly output.

The advantage of this kind of magnetic fluid power generation technology is that it is simple and easy to operate, and there is almost no technical difficulty. The disadvantage is that the efficiency of electric energy conversion is not high. Otherwise, the Q value of the inertial confinement fusion reactor at this time may have exceeded 50. .

We must know that the Q value of nuclear fusion reactors in the forefront of the world can be maintained at around 1.5, and there is still a long way to go if we want to truly reach the self-sufficient 2.5.

In any case, Chen Chen can at least be sure that his nuclear fusion reactor in the Minaret Experimental Base has officially succeeded. It will also be the first truly mature nuclear fusion reactor in human history.

According to Xiao X's calculations, the maximum output power of this reactor can reach 200,000 kilowatts. Although it does not seem to be much, it consumes only a fraction of the energy, which is far more cost-effective than nuclear fission power plants.
