Chapter 328

"That's the truth. It's impossible to drive a spaceship with chemical fuel, can't it? Even if our initial goal is to build a spaceship sailing in the solar system, it is impossible to use chemical fuel as energy!

However, boss, the most important thing you should do now is to determine the direction of research and development. 1. Gravity field constraint; 2. Inertial constraint; 3. Magnetic constraint. Which of these three methods should we choose.

Among them, the main controllable fusion mode: laser confinement (inertial confinement) nuclear fusion (such as China's Shenguang plan and the US National Ignition plan are all in this form).

Magnetic confinement fusion (Tokamak, star simulator, magnetic mirror, reverse field, spherical ring, etc.) is considered to be the most promising method.

We must first determine the direction of research and development, and then we can plan the future research and development work. Otherwise, we will turn around like a headless fly Kuafu suggested.

Lei Tiantang nodded with approval. After studying for such a long time, he has already understood the relevant research and development direction of nuclear fusion. To be honest, Lei Tiantang admires the brain holes of these scientists. They have laid the foundation for the birth of nuclear fusion energy in the future with their own wisdom. However, at present, everyone's research and development of nuclear fusion power generation is still in the primary stage.

For the development of fusion energy, it has been studied for 50 years, and it is expected that it will be 50 years before it can be widely used. Why? Now we can answer the following questions:

first, we have a preliminary understanding of plasma; plasma, also known as plasma, is an ionized gaseous substance composed of atoms and positive and negative ions produced after ionization of some electrons. The macroscopic neutral ionized gas with a scale larger than the Debye length is mainly controlled by electromagnetic force and shows a significant concentration Physical behavior.

It exists widely in the universe and is often regarded as the fourth state of matter except for solid, liquid and gas. Plasma is a kind of good conductor, which can capture, move and accelerate plasma by skillfully designed magnetic field.

The development of plasma physics provides new technology and technology for the further development of materials, energy, information, environmental space, space physics, geophysics and so on.

Many of the engines used by those spaceships in science fiction movies and novels are so-called "plasma engines", that is, plasma engines. They can provide sufficient kinetic energy for the spacecraft, and make the spacecraft travel at the speed close to the speed of light, or even enter the state of super light speed!

These applications of plasma, Lei Tiantang does not think that only science fiction movies or novels can be realized, as long as he continues to work hard in this area, science fiction will also come into reality! His ship needs the same amount of kinetic energy!

Second, the various technologies supporting magnetic confinement (superconductivity, low temperature, ultra-high vacuum, microwave, materials, etc.) are very complex, because deuterium tritium reaction needs to produce 14 MeV strong neutron radiation, and maintain hundreds of millions of high-temperature plasma for a long time, which challenges the existing technology accumulation of mankind;

Third, the world has not yet formed a great change in development With a consistent timetable, it is difficult to concentrate human, material and financial resources. The inexhaustible energy of nuclear power is not going to make complaints about fossil fuels before they are exhausted.

Without money, there is no way to research such technology, and the capitalists who provide funds can control the development process. Why is nuclear fusion power generation always 50 years away from success?

People are not all fools, but even if we all know the reason, there is no way to change this situation, because without capital, there is no right to speak! This is the real world! The capitalists will never really let the nuclear fusion power generation project succeed before they have finished cutting the wool of fossil energy. Even if it is successful, it will delay the construction and use of this energy!

It is also a joke to expect cooperation among countries to promote such R & D projects. Take the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, the most famous international cooperation project.

There are several investors with a total investment amount of more than 10 billion US dollars, but we all don't want to pay more. We start to argue about who should pay more. After all, it is a matter of money. No one wants to pay more. It took a long time to reach an agreement.

Then there is the construction problem. The whole project has not been completed yet. The reactor is planned to realize the first plasma in December 2025. This means that the reactor will be able to produce a large amount of charged gas called plasma inside its core. The deuterium tritium fusion experiment is planned to start in 2035.

From this cooperation project, we can see that international cooperation is also unreliable, unless the world is unified into one country now, and then it can be realized.

Lei Tiantang can't wait so long. Who knows what will happen in such a long time? What if one year a big meteorite fell down and the whole earth civilization would be finished?

So it's better to do his own research. He studies in private, but he can do whatever he wants. He can open up and manufacture everything. He doesn't need to use the company's funds to support his own research. I believe the speed of research will never slow down to any place."We choose the research and development direction of magnetic confinement fusion! For this research and development direction, I am still very strong, the strongest magnetic field of the celestial body is undoubtedly the black hole, and in the black hole, the strongest magnetic field is the largest giant black hole.

Although the black hole I own is a small black hole, the intensity of the magnetic field is almost no match except the super large black hole. I think it is very easy for me to have such a solid target for studying magnetic field and want to develop a magnetic field that binds the energy of nuclear fusion!

As for the choice of Tokamak, star imitator, magnetic mirror, reverse field and spherical ring, we have to consider and study. Even in the end, we may have to choose at least two structures for research, because I think large-scale nuclear fusion power generation equipment and small-scale nuclear fusion power generation equipment may not be the same structure!

Let's study these things slowly. Anyway, it's impossible to complete the research in one step. There is more possibility for multiple roads!

By the way, you told me last time that it was not enough to increase your computing power by so many R & D projects at once? I'm going to add more units to you this evening. How many units do I need to increase this time to meet the R & D needs in the future? "
