v10 Chapter 953： Problems are emerging

After a little hesitation, Chen Qiangsheng hurriedly followed.

There are two types of "nuclear" denaturation, one is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion refers to a nuclear reaction in which atoms with small masses, such as deuterium and tritium, undergo mutual polymerization under conditions of high temperature and high pressure to produce neutrons and helium-4, accompanied by huge energy release. form.

The mass-energy equation E=mc^2 is the release of energy caused by the change in the static mass of the nucleus.

And nuclear fission is the continuous glowing and heating phenomenon that occurs when a heavy nucleus changes to a light nucleus.

Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion has much fewer environmental problems such as radioactive pollution. For the nuclear fusion reaction of deuterium and tritium, the raw materials can be directly taken from seawater, and the sources are almost inexhaustible, so it is an ideal way to obtain energy.

From the moment nuclear fusion was discovered, the research on nuclear fusion has never stopped. Until now, there are still countless scientists,

Scholars and researchers are working day and night to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

But even so, the research on nuclear fusion is still very slow. Until now, no one has proposed a set of feasible solutions to control nuclear fusion and make it a new energy source for the benefit of the world.

Under the leadership of Mr. Wei Suifeng, Qin Luo finally came to the depths of the research institute.

There is a large group of researchers working hard in protective clothing.

Holding various beakers and test tubes in their hands, they shuttled back and forth in the experiment.

On the test bench, an electrolysis instrument is running.

Electrolysis meter? Qin Luo is no stranger.

"What is this doing?" Qin Luo asked curiously.

To be honest, although he had heard the word "nuclear" many times, it was the first time that Qin Luo really came into contact with "nuclear".

"Refining deuterium and tritium, the raw materials for nuclear fusion." Wei Suifeng introduced: "Sea water is rich in deuterium and tritium."

The oxides of deuterium and tritium are heavy water. The content of this substance in seawater is very small, but it has a special property, that is, it cannot be electrolyzed!

People often use this property to electrolyze a large amount of water, until finally the seawater that cannot be electrolyzed is heavy water! That is deuterium and tritium!

Hearing Wei Suifeng's words, Qin Luo nodded thoughtfully.

"How far are we currently in nuclear fusion research?"

Speaking of progress, Wei Suifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some pride: "Just 3 months ago, we have made new breakthroughs. In the experimental equipment, the heating power has reached the level of 6 MW. The plasma center The electron temperature can reach 50 million degrees."

"This is considered the top achievement in the world."

Yes, although there are countless countries and research institutes in the world that are studying nuclear fusion, the results of the Yanjing “Nuclear” Research Institute are still impressive.

6 megawatts, 5000 degrees high temperature.

Under these circumstances, the completion of the experiment is a top achievement in China and the entire world.

"What shall we do next?"

"Hey, I don't know..." Wei Suifeng shook his head helplessly.

do not know? What's this?

"Why? Have you encountered any problems?" Qin Luo hurriedly asked.

Wei Suifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said, "Originally, our plan was to hit 10 megawatts and 100 million degrees Celsius, but today's equipment simply cannot support such high temperatures."

This is the biggest problem facing the institute!

Their equipment is simply not enough to support the next experiment!
