Magus Tech

Bright Castle, No. 1 main building, 15th basement floor, furnace maintenance room.

Richard, Lorenz, Schrödinger and other supervisors walked in here, and several supervisors in the maintenance room immediately greeted them.

Siemens, the blond-haired manager, came straight to the point: "Lord Richard, all indicators of the furnace are normal. As long as there are no accidents, you can continue to run for a long time. You don't have to worry about it."

Richard listened, nodded, and walked to the deepest part of the maintenance room. Through the glass wall, he clearly saw the operation of the furnace.

As you can see, the so-called furnace is a huge flat-cylinder-shaped device. The volume is quite exaggerated, with a height of 12 meters and a diameter of 20 meters.

At this moment, the furnace is like a kettle filled with boiling water. The sound of "Guru Guru" is constantly heard inside, which makes the furnace tremble slowly, even with the whole maintenance room.In this process, a large amount of energy is pouring from the furnace, along the dense lines laid under the ground, and transmitted to the main energy line of the Bright Castle to play a role.

Richard carefully looked at the furnace for a while and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's not easy.

It's really not easy.

This furnace is the so-called "sun in a bottle" entity, and the principle involved in it is controlled nuclear fusion that is beyond reach.

Yes, controlled nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is relatively simple, just the opposite of nuclear fission-nuclear fission is to crush a heavier nucleus and turn it into two or more lighter nuclei, and the mass lost in the process is converted into energy, which shows terror Power; nuclear fusion is to allow lighter nuclei to combine into heavier nuclei under certain conditions. In the process, the excess mass is converted into energy, thereby showing the power of terror.

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the guiding principles of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, respectively. In terms of implementation difficulty, the latter is greater than the former.

This is because the nuclear fission of the atomic bomb only needs to accumulate a sufficient amount of nuclear materials to automatically detonate.Nuclear fusion is different, because it is a light atomic nucleus, which is generally a hydrogen atom isotope-deuterium and tritium. Even if there is too much accumulation, it will not exert its own effect.They need a very harsh condition, relatively high temperature, at least 4000, 0000 ℃, that is 40 million degrees Celsius.

This is not something that can be achieved casually, and it can even be said to be difficult. One of the few ways to achieve this is to borrow an atomic bomb.

Inside the hydrogen bomb, a small atomic bomb is often loaded-the atomic bomb is detonated first, and the high temperature generated by the explosion of the atomic bomb causes the fusion of the raw material of the hydrogen bomb to release its power.

Based on this technical logic, any nuclear-powered country on earth has an atomic bomb first and then a hydrogen bomb, not the other way around.

The reason why nuclear-powered countries try to master the hydrogen bomb after mastering the atomic bomb is because the hydrogen bomb is much more important than the atomic bomb.

It must be clear that the power of the atomic bomb is scary, but it is not infinite. This is because of the existence of critical mass-enough atomic bomb raw materials are piled up together, and as long as the critical mass is exceeded, a nuclear explosion will occur by itself.

Although this effect can be reduced by special design, the effect exists after all, just like an iron hoop, deadlocking the upper limit of the power of the atomic bomb.

Therefore, the most powerful atomic bomb tested on earth is King Ivy, equivalent to 500,000 tons.

In comparison, hydrogen bombs are much freer, as long as there are enough hydrogen bomb raw materials, the power can be increased infinitely.

For example, the well-known "Great Ivan" hydrogen bomb has a power of 50 million tons. This is still a reduced version. According to the original design, it should be 100 million tons.

From this perspective, it can be seen that nuclear fusion has more "future" than nuclear fission.

It is for this reason that after Richard created the atomic bomb on his own, he did not stop the research in this respect. After the establishment of Heihe Castle, he also guided the personnel of Heihe Castle to develop a lot of large-equivalent hydrogen bombs, also known as the new black sun arms.

However, compared to the destructive power of nuclear fusion, Li Cha actually valued another value brought about by nuclear fusion, which shows that the white point is the rational use of energy released by nuclear fusion.

The energy released by nuclear fusion is undoubtedly scary and belongs to the level of real destruction of the world. Compared with nuclear fission, this energy is clean and pollution-free. If you can find a way to use this energy, you can essentially change this no oil resource. The wizarding world.

However, it is not easy to use it.

When the hydrogen bomb detonated, the resulting nuclear fusion was uncontrollable and one-off, and all the energy was released in a very short time.

To really use it, we must make nuclear fusion controllable and continuous.

This is a big problem.

On the earth, scientists have done a lot of research on this. In order to obtain endless clean energy, in order to achieve nuclear fusion conditions in a controlled environment, several large countries on the earth have adopted many methods, such as electromagnetic restraint methods, such as inertial restraint methods, and even Developed a freak like cold fusion.

what's the result?

It cannot be said that it was completely unsuccessful, or even the contrary, it can be said that it has successfully achieved controlled nuclear fusion.But there is a problem that the input energy of controlled nuclear fusion is more than the output energy.

What do you mean?

To explain, in order to achieve and maintain the conditions of controlled nuclear fusion, it is necessary to consume a certain amount of energy with the help of special devices.Due to technological limitations, the amount of energy consumed is so great that the energy obtained after controlled nuclear fusion cannot be filled.

As an example, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build equipment, consumes ten units of energy, and the final output is actually... five units of energy.

To give another example, this is like investing 100,000 yuan. After some hard work, it is difficult to create a fake currency worth 50,000 yuan.

Even without considering various consumables and risks, it is a loss.

This naturally makes no sense.

Only when the output energy of controllable nuclear fusion is greater than the input energy, will it have real practical value and motivation to promote.

Many scientists on the earth have been studying, hoping to do this, and they continue to claim that it can be achieved in 50 years... The result was the same ten years ago, and it is still the same ten years later-the slogan realized in fifty years has not changed.

Having said that, the sun and other stars emit light and heat because they use nuclear fusion to obtain endless energy, and transfer the energy to the planet, giving life to all things.

It is extremely difficult to master the controlled nuclear fusion, even if it grasps the power of stars in a certain sense.

But even so, Richard didn’t think he would spend fifty years working on the same problem as the earth. From the beginning, his plan was to take a few years to get a result.

This is not all scientists who are arrogant enough to think he can beat the earth, but the extraordinary power of the current world gives him confidence.

It has been propagated on the earth for fifty years for many reasons. The most important one is that the scientific development and progress in many fields are slow. There are many ideas for the realization of controlled nuclear fusion, but few can be tested in practice.

For example, a scientist on the earth suddenly announced the creation of a new model of controlled nuclear fusion one day. The model has low cost and low risk. Once manufactured, it can eliminate the energy crisis.But there is a small problem, that is the core part of the model, which needs a material that can withstand ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure, and this material does not exist on the earth.

Therefore, even the best model has become a fantasy.

In comparison, the current world is slightly different. Although there is no material that can withstand ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure, it is possible to increase a certain material to this state through a series of spells.

In a sense, extraordinary power is like a cheater, which can help Richard to solve all the difficulties in controllable nuclear fusion in a way that the conventional disciplines of the earth cannot.

During this process, the knowledge of ancient spells gained from the Baltha of ancient wizarding civilization was of great use, and even achieved an unexpected effect.

First of all, let Richard and Guangming Castle cooperate to create a "melting furnace"-if the furnace is disassembled, you can see that there are complex structures one by one, each layer of the structure has magic patterns in play , To achieve the desired specific effect on the design drawing.

After many test runs of the "Melting Furnace", Richard and the people of the Bright Castle collected a lot of data, and in this high-energy process, reversely studied some properties of ancient incomplete spells, extraordinary factors, virtual spirits, etc. Learn more about the underlying principles of the extraordinary power of this world.

Finally, the "melting furnace" successfully operated to achieve a positive energy output, that is, the output energy was greater than the input energy. In addition to proving many extraordinary power research conjectures, it successfully achieved a valuable and controllable nuclear fusion.

This is not easy.

It is simple to say, but it took more than three years for Richard and the Bright Castle to reach it. The resources invested are innumerable.

However, in any case, it was finally done.

Although, at this time, we can't see much change to the world, but the seeds have been planted.

Later, with the germination of seeds, this world will be a big surprise.

Squinting at the furnace in operation, Richard began to think about the following arrangement...Since the controlled nuclear fusion has been successful, the next step is to try to shrink the equipment and expand the equipment...The shrinking equipment is for portable and more widely used , Expanding equipment is used in more important places.

During this process, there should be a lot of problems that need to be solved, and it will take a short time to achieve his desired effect.If the truth will send people from heaven to make trouble, it may be longer, but in any case, the final result will not change.

When this stage is completed, it is to take out some of the follow-up plans that have been prepared for execution...

After the follow-up plan is almost implemented, it is time to really deal with the heavenly things...

It won't wait long... The seeds have been planted, and sooner or later there will be the day when the fruit will bear fruit.

"It won't be long..." Looking at the furnace, Richard whispered.
