Rebirth of science and technology academic master

The way humans can achieve controllable nuclear fusion is not only magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, mainly tokamak and stellarator, but also ultrasonic nuclear fusion and laser confinement nuclear fusion.

Ultrasonic nuclear fusion is cold fusion and room temperature fusion. Its theoretical basis is that when ultrasonic re-cavitation occurs, the physical conditions required for fusion can be achieved, resulting in a luminous effect. As early as March 8, 2002, the American "Science" magazine published a paper on 'Ultrasonic Fusion'. The paper was written by a research team composed of scientists from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States and the Russian Academy of Sciences. The research team asked a large The internal explosion caused by the small bubbles in the liquid contained in the beaker achieves the effect of nuclear fusion in the laboratory.

In the experiment, they used deuterated acetone liquid, applied neutron pulses to the liquid, causing it to generate micro-bubbles, and used ultrasonic waves to continuously expand these bubbles. As the intensity of the ultrasonic waves increased, the bubbles expanded to a certain size before bursting. At the same time, high temperatures of thousands of degrees and local high pressure are generated, accompanied by a large number of shock waves, flashes and energy releases!

However, this kind of ultrasonic nuclear fusion has always been controversial in the scientific community and is not mainstream!

The mainstream of nuclear fusion research still lies in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion and laser-induced nuclear fusion.

Whether it is a tokamak or a stellarator, in the final analysis it is magnetic confinement nuclear fusion. This aspect is the consensus of all countries in the world. It is generally believed that magnetic confinement nuclear fusion is the best method and approach to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

However, regarding the controllable nuclear fusion method of laser-induced nuclear fusion, in 1963 N. Basov and in 1964 Chinese scientist Wang Jinchang independently proposed the idea of ​​using laser irradiation on the fusion fuel target to achieve a controllable thermonuclear fusion reaction. , opening up a new way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion reaction, laser nuclear fusion. From the birth of this theory to the present, its vitality is strong. Even now, many countries are still studying laser nuclear fusion.

Laser nuclear fusion needs to uniformly heat fusion fuel pellets with a diameter of 1 mm to 100 million degrees. The energy of the laser must be greater than 100 million joules, which is technically difficult to achieve. However, laser technology is also developing rapidly. In 1972, after American scientist J. Nuckols and others proposed the principle of centripetal explosion, laser fusion became a method of parallel development with magnetic confinement fusion in controllable thermonuclear fusion research. Research pathways.

In the past few decades, the United States has not invested much energy in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, but has invested a lot of energy in laser nuclear fusion, because laser nuclear fusion can not only be an inexhaustible clean energy source, but also Real "clean" nuclear weapons can be developed and can partially replace nuclear testing. This is undoubtedly the best choice for the United States.

Wherever you put in the effort, there you will get results!

The United States has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in laser fusion, and naturally it is also a world leader in this field. The United States not only has the world's largest Nova laser and the world's most powerful X-ray simulator. Moreover, as early as 1998, the U.S. Department of Energy began to launch the "National Ignition Facility Project" at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This dual-use high-energy laser fusion research project is scheduled to be put into operation in 2003, with a total investment of US$2.2 billion. Among them, 20 laser generators are large-scale key equipment for research work.

In 2012, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the United States produced the world's largest laser beam, which was used to explode a hydrogen isotope target and trigger nuclear fusion, producing much more energy than the input energy.

Not only the United States, France has also invested a lot of energy in laser fusion. However, unlike the United States, which focuses on both military and civilian research, France's laser fusion research focuses on militarization. Its "Megajoule Laser Project" started in 1996. Beginning in 2008, billions of dollars were invested and it took two decades to build 240 laser generators in Gironde Province. These laser transmitters can generate 1.8 megajoules of energy in 20 nanoseconds and produce 240 laser beams. , focus on a millimeter-diameter target containing a small amount of deuterium and tritium, thereby achieving laser nuclear fusion.

But from the current world perspective, magnetic confinement fusion is the mainstream in the field of controllable fusion research. In the field of controllable fusion research, most scholars believe that magnetic confinement fusion is feasible and the most likely to achieve success. breakthrough.

In order to seize the opportunity in controllable nuclear fusion, Germany invested heavily in the construction of the "Spiral Stone 7-X" device. This "Spiral Stone 7-X" entrusts the ambitions of Germany and even Europe. Once nuclear fusion is controlled, Europe will To get rid of the energy crisis and achieve energy independence, we may even take this opportunity to restore the glory of a century ago. No matter what happens, we can truly realize the situation of the three countries.

"Bach, we must not underestimate Professor Qin. He is too scary. He is not only a theorist, but also an applied scientist. Nothing is impossible for him!" Bacher said earnestly: "When we meet The difficulties encountered may not be considered difficulties at all in Professor Qin’s eyes. And don’t forget, China is an infrastructure madman. Our “Spiral Stone 7-X” construction took ten years, but in China it may only take two years. It only takes a year!”

As China's national strength continues to increase, especially last year's economic aggregate surpassed that of the United States, coupled with the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West in the past decade, Europe will no longer look at China with the eyes of decades ago, and its understanding of China will continue to increase. It has revolutionized the world and even set off an upsurge in learning Chinese and studying Eastern culture in Europe.

Qin Yuanqing, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know what happened in Europe, and even if he knew about it, Qin Yuanqing didn't care.

At this time, he was at the scientific research center, making dumplings with researchers and staff at the base to spend the New Year.

In the scientific research base, there is a desert surrounded by yellow sand, which can be said to be a restricted area for life. The dry climate makes everyone prefer to stay in the comfortable environment of the base rather than going out. But during the Spring Festival, it is inevitable to miss home and family. Under such circumstances, making dumplings, eating hot pot, and watching the Spring Festival Gala together have become the best entertainment methods, which can reduce everyone's psychological burden.

In this isolated place, information cannot be transmitted to the outside world. Mobile phones can only use regional signals and cannot make calls outside. Computers all use local area networks. The TV and movies that can be watched are all censored. Everyone's entertainment methods are relatively monotonous, which means watching movies, watching TV in the dormitory or canteen, or participating in some sports activities.

In this era of extremely abundant material resources, those who are able to give up the prosperity outside and choose to remain anonymous and unknown are worthy of admiration and cherishment.

They learn from their predecessors and use their efforts and dedication to contribute to the country. They are interpreting the spirit of dedication in the new era!

Just when everyone was making dumplings, Deputy Commander Zhao suddenly came to Qin Yuanqing's side and whispered in Qin Yuanqing's ear. Qin Yuanqing's expression also changed, and he walked out with Deputy Commander Zhao to the gate of the base, and then I saw several cars driving towards this direction.

"Dean!" Qin Yuanqing saw a figure emerging from the car in the middle, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. He did not expect that the dean would come to the base on New Year's Eve. You must know that this place is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is still freezing and snowy. The environment Very nasty.

"Comrade Qin Yuanqing, let's go and spend an unforgettable Spring Festival with our comrades!" the dean said with a kind smile.

Qin Yuanqing led the way, and everyone arrived at the cafeteria. When everyone saw the dean, they all looked shocked, and then gave out warm cheers and applause to welcome the dean's arrival.

"Comrades, you have worked hard!" the dean said emotionally: "I am gratified and proud that China has heroes like you who dare to take risks and take risks!"

After the dean finished speaking, the entire cafeteria burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers, and everyone felt as if they had been given a shot of blood.

Then the dean made dumplings with everyone, ate hot pot, watched the Spring Festival Gala together, and spent this unforgettable Spring Festival Gala with everyone.

When 00:00 arrived, the dean said goodbye to everyone, and then went to an office with Qin Yuanqing.

"Dean, would you like to take a rest first?" Qin Yuanqing saw the dean looking tired. It was obvious that running around like this was too much for the almost 70-year-old man.

"It's okay. I'll return to the capital in an hour. I'll just rest on the plane then." The dean waved his hand and said, "Comrade Qin Yuanqing, how is the progress of the 'Golden Crow Project' project now? Is it going well? Do you need me for anything? Help?"

"Dean, the 'Jinwu Project' project is progressing very smoothly. At present, more than 800 technologies have made historic breakthroughs in He3 atom probes, carbon nanosuperconducting materials, new magnetic confinement devices, etc.!" Qin Yuanqing reported on the progress of the project Progress: "It is expected that the 'Golden Crow Device' will conduct its first experiment before the Spring Festival next year! The first experiment is set to 30 minutes, achieving a historic breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion!"

Qin Yuanqing is full of confidence in this. 30 minutes is the goal of 'Helix Stone 7-X', but it is the beginning of the 'Golden Crow Project'. 30 minutes only has preliminary commercial value, but Qin Yuanqing's goal is not controllable nuclear fusion. It is initially commercialized, but controllable nuclear fusion is truly commercialized.

30 minutes or 1 hour has never been Qin Yuanqing's goal.

If this is just the goal, then the 'Golden Crow Project' definitely does not need 100 billion in scientific research funding, not even 10 billion in scientific research funding!

As for the areas where the dean's help is needed, there is no need for it. Since the establishment of the headquarters, the power of the headquarters has been very powerful. The problems we encounter now are all technical problems. Technology requires technicians to solve it, and it is difficult for others to help.

Whether it is controllable nuclear fusion, anti-gravity or a 'double-ring space station', as long as the funds are guaranteed, the rest will need to be solved by technical personnel. Only by relying on technical personnel to research and achieve technological breakthroughs can the final achievement be achieved!
