Chapter 94 Fusion Simulation

Technology Simulator: "A new technology branch has been opened, energy-controllable nuclear fusion."

Energy branch is a super category, and controlled nuclear fusion is only a small category in technology simulators. Even so, many types of gray patterns of controlled nuclear fusion technologies appear on the simulator.

"Star-imitation magnetic constrained fusion device."

"Tokamak fusion reaction device. (branch one, ring tokamak device; branch two, spherical tokamak device.)"

"Inertial Constrained Nuclear Fusion Energy Release."

"Nuclear fusion energy conversion device."

...

Under this category, first of all, it is a machine that realizes controllable nuclear fusion devices, and then various energy conversion and release machines.

Only after the controlled nuclear fusion is completed, the subsequent fusion generators, fusion propellers, fusion laser emitters, etc. have a basis for research.

According to the basis of international thermonuclear fusion research, Du Xingyu first put the goal of scientific and technological simulation on the tokamak fusion reaction device.

"The ring-shaped tokamak device is undoubtedly the most studied and most mature nuclear fusion device now." Du Xingyu analyzed the information he obtained. It is a series of complex electromagnets surrounding donut-shaped containers, some of which are horizontal and some are vertical. A coil called a solenoid, tightly wound together passes down through the hole of the "donut". These combined magnetic fields squeeze the plasma into the center of the tube, causing it to slowly spiral while wrapping the coil.

However, plasma is hard to control. Trapping it is like trying to squeeze a balloon with your hands: it always bulges between your fingers. The hotter the plasma becomes, more gas constrained by the magnetic field will expand, twist and try to escape. Much of the fusion research over the past 60 years has focused on how to control the plasma.

To achieve stronger binding and control, a larger ring tokamak device must be built.

This is a problem that must be solved for Du Xingyu, who wants to build a nuclear fusion engine.

"In comparison, the spherical tokamak device can achieve higher circumferential specific pressure on a smaller volume, with better stability and binding force. It's just that it's more difficult to manufacture."

"Invest 100,000 energy points and start the first simulation of the spherical tokamak device!" Du Xingyu started with the existing information and started the simulation.

In reality, it will take at least several years to build such a device, which costs tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars. However, in Du Xingyu's technology simulator, it only takes one hundred billions of a second to complete.

In the simulator, he has built a spherical tokamak device model proposed by the Oak Tree Leader National Laboratory in Tennessee, and started model operation and data recording.

In the process of technological simulation, Du Xingyu has long been accustomed to failures and errors. It is through repeated mistakes that he can obtain more data information and improve with the lowest cost and highest efficiency.

This is destined to be a huge project. Du Xingyu doesn't know what kind of device, what kind of structure, materials and various auxiliary devices are the most suitable choice.

During Du Xingyu's learning and attempt, the "Response Plan for the Crisis of the God-Death Star" was also underway in difficult and twists and turns.

Before the space elevator is completed, too much material cannot be transported to space, so there is no way to talk about the construction of the space port.

But this does not prevent designers and engineers from designing the spaceport and manufacturing components. The spaceport will adopt a modular design like the space station.

They first launched the cornerstone modules, which also have a power system, will fly in orbit in synchronization with the Tiangong Space Station and act as a counterweight for the space elevator.

In addition, military experts from various countries are also studying and discussing the design plan of space warships and the construction of outer space defense systems.

Several major powers have spared no effort to build heavy transport rockets and reusable spacecraft, develop the moon, and explore Mars. China has taken absolute dominance due to its leading space technology.

Today, among the spacecraft under construction, except for the independently developed and manufactured by China, it is also developed by China and other countries.

...

In the first year when humans discovered the God of Death, the world pattern underwent earth-shaking changes. The Human Guardian Alliance led by China was established, and the super project of the "Meteoric God of Death" project was started!

People all over the world began to get used to this kind of life after experiencing panic, anxiety, and discomfort for a while.

This year, Du Xingyu had no time to spend. Even during the Chinese New Year, he just went home to have a reunion dinner and rushed to the research institute.

The next year has passed by another five months. In early June, the first super project, "Ladder", finally received good news.

"The ground station of the ladder, including the tower of the ladder, has been fully constructed, and Penglai Island is still being expanded, but it will no longer affect the ladder project." Chai Boyan, chief engineer of the construction of the ladder ground station, reported the situation to Du Xingyu.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work!" Du Xingyu said happily, "The chemical group of Japan and South Korea has also made carbon nanotube cables worth more than 40,000 kilometers long. The German company has prepared the car, the space station and the counterweights. "

"The main body can be spliced ​​next."

The various parts of the space ladder have been completed earlier than expected and will usher in the last link of manufacturing, with the bodies splicing together.

Among them, the length of the carbon nanotubes is 36,000 kilometers higher than the space station, and it is still being manufactured and synthesized. This is not only for backup, but also for the purpose of extending the height of the space elevator from the Tiangong Space Station to the near-Earth spaceport.

In addition to being connected to carbon nanotubes and climbing accidents with electricity, the car also carries rocket thrusters and parachute safety equipment, which can ensure the safety of personnel and materials in the car when a cable accident occurs.

The laying of cables determines whether the space elevator can be opened to traffic smoothly. Therefore, Du Xingyu plans to supervise the work in person and solve the problem in time if he encounters problems.

Penglai Island has changed by 180 degrees compared to a year ago. The original blue sea area has now become a beautiful artificial island of more than 1,000 square kilometers!

On the artificial island, you can also see the engineering team busy construction. The center of the artificial island is the ground station of the ladder.

The process of building the ground station has been broadcast live all over the world. According to statistics, at least one billion people around the world have seen this live or related video!

Although the live broadcast room is closed now, people still keep their attention to Penglai Island and the ladder.

Du Xingyu came here for the first time after the ground station was completed. He saw the tower with a height of fourteen kilometers at a glance!

This is the tallest tower in human history so far! In order to maintain stability, its lower part is poured with reinforced concrete, and the ground part is 1.5 kilometers deep!

When building the island, more than 100 engineering teams were used at the bottom of the tower alone, and engineers and experts from more than ten countries were guided and researched!
