Super military empire

The artificial solar project is actually a controllable nuclear fusion project. The principle of the sun is nuclear fusion. With the help of the hydrogen isotope, deuterium, reacts with tritium to generate a helium atom and release a large amount of energy in the process.

Controllable nuclear fusion has always been a cutting-edge technology that mankind has always wanted to obtain after mastering nuclear technology.

Since the Soviet Union built the first magnetic confinement device composed of a closed magnetic field in 1954 and named the tokamak, countries around the world have begun to increase investment in this area.

In the civil field, a 1,000-megawatt nuclear fusion power station uses the electricity generated by seawater, enough for humans to use for 10 billion years!

In the military field, once controlled nuclear fusion is achieved, the detonation of the hydrogen bomb does not require the ignition of the atomic bomb of nuclear fission, and the state of war will be effectively changed.

At the same time, unscrupulous use of nuclear weapons in war is no longer a taboo.The reason why mankind has successfully studied the atomic bomb and prohibited the use of this most powerful and lethal weapon in human history is that after the atomic bomb exploded, it will not only release a huge amount of energy to destroy everything around it, but also produce a large amount of energy. A hundred years of high-level nuclear radiation, there are areas with nuclear radiation, human beings simply cannot survive.

If only the hydrogen bomb produced by nuclear fusion is used, there is no need to consider the irreversible impact on the environment.

In the military, whoever masters this technology first has the greater deterrence.

In the civilian sector, China’s rapid development has an increasing demand for energy, and the large-scale expansion of cities has an even greater demand for energy.

Thanks to China's huge coal production, a large number of thermal power plants have been built so that there is no energy crisis.However, the production of thermal power will generate a large amount of greenhouse gases. While China's economy is developing rapidly, the environment is constantly deteriorating.

In the future, China will pay a very large price for environmental governance.

Coal, oil, natural gas, etc. are all non-renewable resources, not inexhaustible.Once the energy crisis cannot be resolved, the war will break out again.

The Americans started the eight-year war in Iraq because of oil!

China's population is several times that of the United States. Once it has developed to the level of the United States' economy, its demand for energy will far exceed that of the United States.

Therefore, looking for a new cheap clean energy is what China must solve.

The use of efficient and clean nuclear energy will, in the future, be the main source of energy for China and even the entire mankind.

If you master this technology, you have a greater say.

The Ninth Institute's investment in this area is not only for military needs, it only accounts for a small part. The larger aspect is to deal with the energy crisis after the global oil depletion decades later.

The sooner the technology is broken, the more reliable the technology in this area. After all, the technical difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion is too high and the technical requirements are too high.

This project of the Ninth Institute has China's top nuclear technology experts, as well as related experts from the Soviet Union. All the top technologies of the Ninth Institute have been used.

The entire project has invested more than 800 million soft sister coins!

"Director Liu, are you here?" The deputy director of the Institute of Nuclear Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tian Yu, is in charge of this project.

He knew Liu Yijiu's position in this base, even though Liu Yijiu didn't appear for much time.

"It's okay, you are busy with you, we just come over and take a look." Liu Yijiu said to take a look. Naturally, Tian Yu, who is about to come, would not let him take a look.

"At present, it has reached the final debugging stage. After many computer simulations, theoretically, our model can obtain a steady-state high confinement mode plasma repetitive discharge for more than 100 seconds. The theoretical data needs to be demonstrated after the reactor is built. Continue to modify..." Tian Yu introduced the situation.

"How much energy can be generated?" Liu Yijiu, no matter how long the nuclear fusion reaction can be controlled, wants to know how much energy can be generated.

According to the original plan, the laser cannons of the Ninth Institute used ordinary reactors to gradually accumulate energy, which was too slow, and there were too many uncontrollable factors in the process.

The use of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion reaction, although the controllable time is short, it can release a large enough amount of electricity in a short time range, and then use the laser emitting device to form a high-energy laser beam with huge energy.

"The maximum power can reach 500,000 kilowatts, the maximum current can reach 500 kiloamps, and the total temperature of the central electron particles can reach 100 million degrees Celsius... There is no problem at all for the launch of laser cannons. But Director Liu, there is a problem now. If you use such a device to generate electricity, the amount of electricity generated at this moment..." Tian Yu said with a wry smile.

It is too extravagant to use such an advanced reactor to provide energy for rarely used laser cannons...

"Those problems will be solved gradually in the future." Liu Yijiu does not interfere with these things now.

Professional things are left to professional people.

Once the giant wheel of scientific research is started, as long as there is no interference on it, and the research direction is not stopped or forcibly changed, the huge inertia will slowly make breakthroughs in technology.

When the various projects were just started, Liu Yijiu, with advanced knowledge that was decades more than this time, could still give pointers.

Now, the various projects are progressing very fast, and Director Liu has not entered into in-depth research. The details of the project and the technology are all specious, so naturally he can't go to empty the cannon.

The fusion reactor of the Ninth Institute is actually a fission-fusion reactor under the control of z-pinch. It is like the detonation process of a hydrogen bomb. At the beginning of the reaction, it needs to be activated with more mature nuclear fission technology.

In other words, this is not the east project in the complete sense.

The use of a large number of advanced technologies and high capital investment is absolutely impossible if it is relying on national financial allocations.

The country’s economy is up, and the officials of the Ministry of Finance are still holding their pockets tightly. Like most Chinese, they save money when they have money, increase foreign exchange reserves, and buy foreign debts from the United States and other countries, instead of increasing scientific research. And the military budget.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Yijiu had to increase his investment in this area.

The two and Wang Shunyi inspected the area where the reactor is located. The reactor is composed of two parts, one is the fusion reaction chamber in the middle core area, and a circular tank with a diameter of 5 meters is filled with objects, but the interior is not empty. It is a special cable that is dozens of kilometers long, with many parts whose names are unknown to ordinary people, and densely packed cables connect these parts together.

Unlike ordinary nuclear reactors, the middle is not a core rod used for spinning nuclear fuel, but a small reaction chamber!The reaction chamber is surrounded by a high-temperature and high-pressure-resistant super reaction chamber made of various composite materials, and is surrounded by superconductors made of various superconducting materials.

Around the reactor, six trapezoidal devices are covered with dense cables and some small silver-white parts.

The six devices are evenly distributed around the middle circular reaction device.

"With the funds of 800 million yuan, such a thing will eventually be built. If the officials of the Ministry of Finance knew about it, they would definitely scold us for the prodigal!" Wang Shunyi said to Liu Yijiu with a smile while looking at the reactor.

The officials of the Ministry of Finance hope that all departments will not ask them for funding, but will take the initiative to provide them with funding.

They don't care about the future prospects of the project or how important it is to national defense.

Just as the Ministry of Aerospace Industry asked the officials of the Ministry of Finance for budgets, the Ministry of Aerospace Industry’s moon landing project, the Chang'e Project, was a decades-long project. The Ministry of Aerospace was exhausted, but a section chief of the Ministry of Finance asked What are they doing to the moon? There is no land on the moon, and there are no resources worth mining. Even if it is worth mining, it will cost old nose money to transport it back.

The big guys of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry were so angry that they vomited blood, but finally had to explain to them the meaning of landing on the moon, especially the related technology is not only used by the aerospace industry. All the good things, plus the government’s project, the high-level attention, In the end, funding was obtained, and that funding was greatly reduced.

This is not to say that the officials of the Ministry of Finance are short-sighted, but that the state stalls are too large, the funds are too small, there are too many places to spend money, and the government is afraid of being poor, so you have to save money just in case.

It has not yet come to the beginning of the 21st century in Liu Yijiu's original world. The government is rich and the budgets of various departments are sufficient. At the end of each year, when the budget is not used up, it starts to rush to spend money and waste a lot of money.

The development speed is fast, and all the supporting facilities must be improved, and the government will invest more in all aspects.

If it were not for the Ninth Academy to bear a large part of the funds, the progress of the aerospace industry would not have been so fast.

Now Wang Shunyi's talking about this is obviously self-deprecating.

"You can't say that. Although this is just a project, it encompasses many technical fields in the two major military and civilian fields. Apart from that, it is only the 86 key technologies and new technologies used in this reactor, which not only fill the domestic Numerous gaps have greatly promoted various related technical fields! How to estimate the invisible influence?" Liu Yijiu said seriously.

I know that Wang Shunyi is joking.

"It's true, but many officials don't understand these things. They only look at the results that can be seen. They only care about how much money they spend and what they get." Wang Shunyi sighed, "I don't know our funding. After the spending is exhausted, how much will the government invest in our projects."

"Definitely not too much. But that is a government business, which has little to do with us. So far, we can do almost the same, and the domestic foundation has been built up. If it were not for our Ninth Academy, the country would be in all aspects. It will take at least ten or twenty years for the development of the university, and you will have to pay a lot of tuition and take a lot of detours..." Liu Yijiu knew that Wang Shunyi was worried about the future of the Ninth Academy.

This management mode of the Ninth Institute is destined to not always exist.

In the special period of history, many units have been achieved. After the special period, these units can no longer remain special.

"Furthermore, isn't the military renewing the No. Zero project now? Our era is over, and a new era will naturally begin. The military's control may be more appropriate than ours, a small group or a Small units cannot support the entire country's industrial science and technology system. Our current bottleneck is that we are just one unit and cannot coordinate the entire military industry system or even the country's industrial system!" Liu Yijiu thinks more profoundly about these things.

Wang Shunyi's thoughts do not represent him personally, but all members of the management committee of the Ninth Academy.

Everyone in the Management Committee of the Ninth Institute knows that the era of the Ninth Institute has entered the final stage.

They are old and lack energy, and they don't want the good situation that they have worked hard for all their lives to disappear.

"The results we have made are not a base like the Ninth Academy, but the overall development of the domestic industrial technology system. Under the overall planning of the country, it will definitely be more perfect than us, but it will take time. It will take a long time. We rely on the establishment of one country after another, which is not urgent but necessary but expensive, to drive the development of our related units and systems. At present, our domestic industrial manufacturing scale is still small, but who dares to say that we are top The manufacturing capacity is not good? And these are our achievements!"

Liu Yijiu took this opportunity to persuade Wang Shunyi implicitly.

He hoped that Wang Shunyi could persuade the other members of the management committee that everyone was so old that after the stalls on the Ninth Hospital were handed over, they would be able to enjoy a happy life in their old age for several years.

It is really idle and panic, and I can go to various research institutes or university campuses in China to become professors, and give full play to the heat of training a new generation of talents for the motherland.

In particular, Jiuyi College, which is a completely academic and practical university, has expanded the enrollment scale of domestic universities. However, because of its particularity and the expectation for students to become talents, Jiuyi University has not expanded the enrollment scale. It has a threshold for students who enter Jiuyi University. It's higher.

Unlike other schools in China that no longer cover distribution, the students of September 1st University have already been divided up by major scientific research institutes and military units before they graduate.

If the conditions are not good enough, entering various technical state-owned enterprises and private units can also support a world.

The members of the management committee of the Ninth Academy do not have any prominent reputation outside. Few people publish papers, and few people's names appear on the outside media.

But no one can despise them.

Many scientific research institutes wanted to dig the corners of the Ninth Institute before. If they were replaced by other units, they would be dilapidated.

"Okay, I know what you mean. It's somewhere." The two talked as they walked, and unknowingly they arrived at the top of the mountain where the laser cannon assembly was nearing completion.

On the top of the hill of the headquarters of the Ninth Hospital, there is a newly built white building.

This white building uses special construction materials. The walls are thick and the internal space is large enough. In the internal space, some monitoring equipment is being installed.

All the computers in it are specially produced by related units of the Ninth Academy.

The building is the base of the laser cannon and the control room of the laser cannon.

The aiming device here is not the aiming method of ordinary guns. After all, laser guns belong to the precision range of fixed-point acupuncture, especially the diameter of the emitted laser beam is less than 20 mm. The energy escapes tens of millions of meters away and the light is scattered. Will not cause too large diameter.

If the light is too scattered, the energy will be scattered and the lethality will drop sharply.

On the top of the building, there are various complex parts composed of numerous optical devices, surrounding the middle one with a bottom diameter of more than one meter, a top diameter of less than ten centimeters, and a length of about eight meters. It presents a conical cannon-shaped object, the barrel. Inside, there are also a large number of various complex components, not only optical components, but also densely packed circuits.

When Liu Yijiu and Wang Shunyi arrived, the top gun barrel had been installed, and many technicians were debugging.

The entire laser emission system is very complicated, consisting of tens of thousands of parts, and some of these parts need to be welded together, while the welding of two parts needs to be aligned within the micron level, and at the same time, there should be no weld bead. Otherwise, the parts are scrapped.

This is a new technology that is not available in the world, but it is not only available on laser cannons. This technology has been used in the construction of the fission-fusion hybrid reactor inside the mountain. For the technical staff of the Ninth Institute Said that this technology is difficult enough, but it is only difficult and it is not impossible to process.

After tens of thousands of parts are assembled, the final error range will not exceed 0.03 mm, otherwise it will have a great impact on the final laser beam emitted.

The shooting accuracy of the laser cannon and the energy contained in the energy beam are the keys to determining the success of the laser cannon.

It is impossible to fire a laser beam of 20 millimeters here. A few tens of kilometers away, the diameter becomes several meters. Such a laser cannon has no power.

What's more, the main function of this laser cannon is to hit satellites on the ground. In the future, it will become a key weapon for the prevention of long-range strategic intercontinental missiles in the country. When the enemy launches intercontinental missiles, it must change orbit in outer space above China. , Is the best time to destroy.

The speed of any air defense missile cannot be faster than a laser.

As long as the trajectory of the attacked intercontinental missile is calculated, it only takes a few seconds to destroy and completely establish a super defense system.

This is the most critical part of China's strategic missile defense system.

Once the technology on the ground takes shape, it will eventually be used on the International Space Station.

Of course, this is just Liu Yijiu's idea. Whether the country will adopt it in the end, Liu Yijiu can't change anything.

"There is no problem with the energy supply, and the laser cannon launcher is almost the same. Just one shot, a dozen US satellites, to test the power of our laser cannon!" Liu Yijiu looked at the laser launcher on the top of the mountain with a face. Said sinisterly.
