Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Sheng Xianfu was stunned.

When he presented his thesis, he was even prepared to be cynical.

However, it was unexpected that my vision of the sky and the sky could be endorsed by the Ark.

“Cold fusion is not a laughing proposition; in fact, a lot of what we can't do is not because it's wrong, but because we don't know enough about the universe. ”

Standing up from the desk, the ark went to the solar system chart hanging at the corner of the office wall, and its gaze fell on the flames that burned like a day for billions of years.

“Just as we have yet to fully understand, the source of star power. ”

In a sense, the fusion reaction that occurs inside a star is also a form of cold nuclear fusion, although it does not look as “cold” as one might understand.

To achieve nuclear fusion, the two protons must have sufficient energy to overcome the Kulun barrier such that the distance between the nucleus and the nucleus is less than 10 ^ -14 meters. And to reach this distance, the thermodynamic energy of a single atomic nucleus has to reach at least the energy level of MeV.

In fact, however, the average thermodynamic energy of the atomic nucleus inside the star hits only the KeV energy level.

A very intuitive order of magnitude contrast demonstrates that thermodynamic energy alone does not overcome the Kulun potential for nuclear fusion. Even considering the role of gravity, fusion reactions within a star are technically unscientific.

From a classical mechanical point of view, it is difficult to explain this “unscientific” phenomenon.

As a result, a concept of quantum mechanics had to be introduced.

That is, the quantum tunnelling effect.

While the concept may sound a little obscure, it is in fact difficult to understand what it means as long as there is some understanding of the principles of particle bigotry and uncertainty.

In quantum mechanics, all subjects are in an uncertain state and their defined range satisfies a relationship.

In the case of a small ball common in classic mechanics, for example, a small ball is placed in front of a mountain, and according to classic mechanics, a small ball can only cross this mountain if it is fast enough. If it doesn't go fast enough, it may run out of kinetic energy on the waist of the mountain, and eventually roll where it came from.

In quantum mechanics, however, even though the ball may not be very fast, there is still a certain probability that it will pass as it rolls towards the mountain.

If you replace this mountain with a barrier, and the ball with an atom, that's why fusion reactions can occur in stars.

Though the atomic nucleus is much less energetic than the Kulun site barrier, the presence of a quantum tunnelling effect still enables the proton to cross the Kulun site barrier and into the embrace of another proton. It is precisely because of this probabilistic combustion that stars are able to burn steadily for billions of years, rather than exploding in an instant, depleting all fuel.

“Cold nuclear fusion is in fact feasible, or to put it another way, if the macroscopic conditions for fusion are not met, it is also theoretically possible to make the fusion reaction happen, although we have not yet found a suitable method or advanced the theory to a level sufficient to fully reveal its mystery. ”

“To solve the problem of miniaturization of controllable fusion, we have to essentially understand what strong interaction is and unify it with electromagnetic interaction with a definitive model," he said, returning the paper in his hand to Sheng Xianfu, pausing for a moment and continuing, "If we can unify strong interaction with electromagnetic interaction with a definitive model, our subject will also be much smoother. ”

“In fact, I have not abandoned the study of controllable fusion miniaturization. ”

“Just because, for the time being, theoretical work seems to be the only thing I can do. ”

……

With regard to the reconciliation of the Jan Mills equation, the Ark has made some progress, but several key difficulties remain unresolved. However, he was not in a hurry, and there was a briefing to be held soon, and he still had plenty of time to think about it after the briefing.

As such, the time passes day by day, and soon it arrives in May.

With the completion of two successive courses in Computational Materials and Mathematics, the Ark now awaits the publication of papers sent by only a few students to receive system task rewards.

More interestingly, he found that the reward task was more Buddhist than the previous one and did not even specify the time to receive the reward. Theoretically, if he doesn't want to, he can even pull a few students to brush the total number of influencers to the sky before handing over the task.

However, it does not seem to make sense to keep dragging on like this.

Compared to a little impact factor of 1000 free experience with 10 points, even if you paint a thousand, it's only 100,000 points.

However, this is clearly not possible.

The ship has decided to send as many papers as it can before June. Even if he can't make it, the rest of the last six months are almost over, it would be better to start the next task early.

Three days before the start of the presentation, Professor Klaus von Cletching from Germany arrived early in Jinling, under the experimental building of several colleges on the campus of Jindaxin, and encountered an ark that was returning from the last computational materials class.

“Long time no see,” gave the Ark a warm hug, and Professor Clearing looked at him and laughed, "I had no idea it had been less than two years, and your name had to give the old guys on the Nobel Prize selection committee another headache. ”

The ark laughed: "Maybe. ”

“No, maybe, anyway, whether or not they'd consider a scholar who just won the Nobel Prize, I'd nominate you," said Professor Cleveland, smiling suddenly, continuing, "speaking, before coming to China this time, Professor Krebe asked me to bring you a word. ”

“Uh, what? ”

“He said you were a terrible opponent," shrugged Professor Clearing, laughing, "and he said that the last thing he regretted in his life was to show you his lab. Thanks to you, he is now fueled by the Ministry of Economics and Technology. And when the tech bureaucrats saw your fingers, they thought that controlled fusion was actually a very simple thing... and they said that the last time they had a meeting, the spiral 7-X lab engineers almost had a fight with the tech secretary. ”

When he heard that, the ark coughed with embarrassment.

“This… I'm sorry. If he feels unfair, I will show him to the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies in the future. ”

“Ha ha, I was just kidding," Cleveland patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "he didn't hate you, even... thank you a lot. After all, without your plasma turbulence model, the research on the mimetics is probably still in a marginal state. Not to mention, if his lab took the lead in controllable fusion, I think he would probably make the same choice. ”

The Ark made a helpless expression, "I hope my research won't cause him any trouble. ”

“How? Moreover, we may have opportunities for cooperation in the future," Cleveland smiled and continued, "several major ITER member countries have reached agreements with China to exchange information on many controversial issues and technologies in the industrial field. The agreement will be implemented gradually over a period of about five years. ”

After hearing the words of Cleveland, the ark nodded.

Five years is a good buffer.

Because it is uncertain whether this problem can be solved in the short term, other countries are naturally reluctant to exchange the chips in their hands prematurely, and China, for its part, likewise, does not want the controllable fusion technology to be mastered prematurely by others without losing its place in the field.

There is, of course, a consensus that everyone knows that permanent secrecy is not possible.

In particular, civilian technologies such as controllable fusion, which are destined to be used on a large scale, have too many possibilities of losing technology until controlled fusion power plants and cross-regional grid projects are laid open, unless they are hidden in the palm of their hands or closed completely with national gates.

In conjunction with the three-year strategic plan to popularize controllable fusion power plants and supply more than 80 per cent of the country's electricity use, the exchange of political, technological and other benefits with other countries over a five-year period of controllable fusion technology is the option to maximize the benefits.

And over the past five years, enough has happened...
