Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 436: Superconducting
Energy is an important indicator of the degree of civilization development. It can be said that only a large amount of energy can be used to develop the level of science and technology.
Originally, Jiang Cheng had obtained nuclear power reactor technology from the coal family, and it was a miniaturized nuclear power reactor.
It stands to reason that Jiang Cheng should have no shortage of energy. After all, nuclear energy is a very efficient energy source.
But the nuclear power reactor that Jiang Cheng obtained was a fission reactor, which was a technology long ago.
The current nuclear power plant is this kind of reactor, and coal experts have just downsized it, so it is not an advanced technology.
There are several shortcomings of fission reactors, each of which is a very fatal flaw.
The first is that the reactor itself is quite unstable. If there is an accident, it is a serious radiation leakage accident.
I haven't seen the power plant leakage accident in Dao country a few years ago, and the leaked radiation has not yet been cleaned up.
In the history of Xiong State, a serious nuclear leak occurred. A huge accident occurred in the Chernuobyl Power Station that year.
Up to now, the place still cannot live, and decades later it is still barren.
If such a reactor is vigorously developed, accidents will only be a matter of time.
Jiang Cheng didn't want the Yan family to become like that. If there were radiation zones everywhere, he would not have a good solution.
The second is that this type of reactor requires special radioactive materials, and such radioactive profiles are very rare.
There are not many on the whole earth, and it is not a simple matter to vigorously develop.
Even if Jiang Cheng wanted to use it, it was very troublesome. With his current status, he could still get a small amount of materials from the country, and it would be difficult for him to get a large amount of materials.
The third is that the upper limit of the energy output of this type of reactor is not high enough, and it does not meet Jiang Cheng's requirements at all.
The shortcomings of this fission reactor are quite large, and various problems have caused Jiang Cheng not to use it.
Even the reactor on the Iron Man armor had to be used, and Jiang Cheng would not want to use it if there was a better option.
He always carries a scourge anytime and anywhere, even when fighting.
Except for fission reactors, there are not many energy sources currently available.
Traditional thermal power generation Jiang Cheng is totally insignificant, and wind and tidal energy are not very good.
Although solar energy is very safe and pollution-free, it can be said that solar energy is never exhausted.
As long as the sun goes out and then goes out in one day, solar energy can be used forever.
Although solar energy is good, it is not enough for Jiang Cheng to use.
The current technology is too low for solar energy utilization, and the output power is simply not enough for Jiang Cheng to dry his teeth.
Jiang Cheng thought about it in the laboratory for a long time, but could not find any suitable new energy.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Cheng still set his goal on nuclear energy.
The nuclear energy Jiang Cheng wants is not a fission reactor, but a brand new thing like a fusion reactor.
Nuclear energy includes fission and fusion. Although both are nuclear energy, fusion is much more advanced than fission.
The fusion reactor has no pollution at all. The raw material it uses is the very common element of hydrogen.
This energy is not only safe, but the raw materials are abundant, and the output power is also quite large, enough for Jiang Cheng to use next.
It is a pity that although the fusion reactor looks quite beautiful, it is very difficult to realize this technology.
Various countries have long set their sights on fusion reactors, but they have not yet succeeded in research.
Jiang Cheng is going to get the variable reactor out to completely solve the problem of the source.
After Jiang Cheng decided on the direction of the next research, he was ready to start researching related technologies.
As for why the research should not be started right away, it is because the current technological means cannot meet the requirements of fusion reactors.
Without some necessary technology and materials, it would be impossible to make a fusion reactor directly.
Jiang Cheng needs to get some advanced technology first, otherwise even he can't get a fusion reactor.
Those countries invest tens of billions of dollars in funds each year, but since they can't study fusion reactors, the reason is that the current conditions are not up to the requirements.
No matter how hard those scientists work, there is no hope of success.
First of all, thinking about materials is a problem that cannot be circumvented. If the materials do not meet the standard, fusion reactors can only imagine.
Fusion reactors require a lot of materials, many of which are not available on the earth, and the most important material is superconducting materials.
Superconducting materials are essential materials for fusion reactors, and they also play a very important role in other fields.
As the name suggests, this material is used to conduct electricity, but it is actually a kind of conductor.
However, this kind of conductor is not simple at all. Because it does not have any resistance, it will not generate heat when it is energized.
Although it seems that this material is not very useful but does not generate heat, it is actually very, very important.
It is important to know that in the process of using electric energy, a large part of it is wasted on heating. If superconducting materials are used, these wasted electric energy can be effectively used.
It is not only a problem of power waste, but heat is actually the biggest hemp.
The mobile phones and computers you usually use will get hot if you use them for too long, which will seriously affect the performance of the machine.
If those machines use superconducting materials, they won't generate heat at all.
If the machine does not heat up, the heat sink can also be eliminated.
You might imagine a computer that does not require heat dissipation. You can just leave out a fan or something, and you no longer need to hear the annoying sound of the fan turning.
If the mobile phone uses superconducting materials, it can be used for at least a few more hours when it is fully charged. In fact, a large part of the electricity in the mobile phone is wasted in the heat. These problems can be solved by superconducting materials.
The benefits of superconducting materials are far more than these, and its importance is evident.
Jiang Cheng wants to study superconducting materials, not only for fusion reactors, but also in many places.
If you research it out now, it will be convenient to use it later.
Superconducting materials are nothing new. There are already many kinds of superconducting materials that have appeared.
However, these superconducting materials have great restrictions on their use, and they need to have zero resistance when the temperature is very low.
If these materials are placed below room temperature, they will lose their superconducting properties.
The best superconducting materials now need to be used at temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.
