Chapter 425 Project
"Controllable nuclear fusion?"
"Controllable nuclear fusion!"
"Controllable...nuclear fusion..."
Although the executives of Mozi Technology had already been mentally prepared, they were still stunned by this new project.
There was only one new employee, Musk, the director of the Mozi Technology Mars Base, who looked full of admiration. He waved his arms excitedly and said, "Controllable nuclear fusion! That's so cool!"
"I knew that joining Mozi Technology was a very wise decision."
"Boss, you have the smartest brain and the noblest character in the human world. Kong Ming is not as smart as you when he was alive, and Zhuge Liang is not as smart as you when he was alive. Under your leadership, Mozi Technology will definitely be able to go to the world and the universe!
"
.......
The executives sitting here all showed contempt: Who said foreigners can't flatter me, but this Rockets maniac's flattery is simply earth-shattering.
Then their eyes communicated with each other: Are we usually too reserved? Maybe the boss is just like this?
.......
"Cough...cough!" Li Mo regretted a little, regretting letting this guy attend the meeting.
"Those who are doing this are all scientists and human elites. I don't need to say more about the importance of controllable nuclear fusion."
"It's still the same old rules!"
"A group of high-energy physics scientists were drawn from the laboratory to form a controllable nuclear fusion project team."
"Everything in the lab has to make way for this one."
.....
"Finally, I decided to classify this project as a top-secret project. Except for everyone here and the members who will join the project team, I will strictly disclose it to others!"
The controllable nuclear fusion project is different from the laboratory's previous projects in that it has a very high international sensitivity.
Nuclear weapons are extremely powerful and will be accompanied by strong nuclear radiation after the explosion. These nuclear radiations will destroy the genetic information of living things and even turn them into monsters. Land that has been exposed to nuclear radiation may not be able to support humans for hundreds of years.
Live and live.
There are more than 200 countries in the world, but only 10 countries possess nuclear weapons. And as the call for "abandoning nuclear weapons" has become louder and louder in recent years, any form of nuclear testing will cause an uproar in the international community.
Especially in recent years, Japan's floating island nuclear power plant suddenly suffered a leakage accident, and hydrogen explosions occurred in three groups of fuel plants, causing hundreds of thousands of people in the surrounding areas to flee their homes. This has made mankind full of fear about nuclear energy, which can destroy the earth.
Therefore, Mozi Technology's controllable nuclear fusion project must be carried out in "secret", at least in the early stage.
"Boss, nuclear projects are very sensitive. Do you need to submit an application to the relevant departments?" At this time, Professor Jian from the Nuclear Physics Laboratory raised his hand. Professor Jian's full name is Jian Yangtai, from the Institute of High Energy Physics under the Ministry of Science and Technology.
, is one of the major achievements of Li Mo’s talent poaching plan.
The Institute of High Energy Physics is China's first professional research institute specializing in controllable nuclear fusion research. Later, with the establishment of the Southwest Institute of Physics and the Institute of Plasma of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the lack of breakthroughs in research, the Institute of High Energy Physics
Abandoned by the Ministry of Science and Technology, research on magnetic confinement nuclear fusion almost came to a halt.
Mozi Technology then got help from Mr. Wu and invited this veteran expert to serve as the director of the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Mozi Technology.
Li Mo nodded: "Of course, I will draft a complete plan and submit it."
"No one needs to worry about this."
Everyone suddenly realized that they remembered that this young boss was not only an ordinary scientist, but also had a huge influence in China and the world. There were even rumors that he had a relationship with the respected old man in China.
Close contact.
This also explains why he behaves so lightly when faced with such a sensitive matter as the nuclear project.
Li Mo looked at the ever-changing expressions on the supervisors' faces and instantly understood what they were thinking.
However, he was unwilling to explain this kind of thing. After all, if a boss remains appropriately mysterious, it is very conducive to establishing authority in the hearts of his subordinates.
"Boss, there are currently two main ways to study controllable nuclear fusion in the world. One is a magnetic confinement tokamak structure-shaped nuclear fusion device, and the other is a laser ignition inertial confinement nuclear fusion device."
"Which method are we going to use for our controllable nuclear fusion project?" The person who raised his hand this time was not a scientist in the field of high-energy physics, but Director Su of the Life Research Laboratory.
Nuclear fusion is not difficult, and humans have already used the principle of nuclear fusion to create powerful hydrogen bombs.
The difficulty is how to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, that is, humans can control the start and stop of nuclear fusion, and can control the reaction speed of nuclear fusion at any time.
Just like gunpowder, it can be made into a bomb. The moment the bomb is detonated, the energy of the gunpowder can be completely released. Gunpowder and some chemicals can also be mixed in a certain proportion, and then put into a fireworks tube, and then lit.
Keeps sparkling brightly.
The magnetic confinement tokamak structure-shaped nuclear fusion device and the laser ignition inertial confinement nuclear fusion device are equivalent to fireworks tubes loaded with gunpowder.
However, Li Mo is not prepared to use either of these options, because after decades of development and tens of billions of research funds spent on these two options, humans still do not see any hope of achieving controllable nuclear fusion.
This already shows that this plan is not feasible. Just like a high school student, he goes to the Internet cafe after school. The Internet cafe is only 20 minutes away from the school. However, he walked for 50 minutes and still arrived at the Internet cafe. This can only mean that——
He went the wrong way!
In the same way, when a solution is still not feasible after decades of research by thousands of scientists, then there is a high probability that this solution is wrong.
Li Mo shook his head: "These two options are not under my consideration for the time being."
"...Are you going to take a new route?" Director Su's face was full of shock, because although these two options have not been able to achieve controllable nuclear fusion for the time being, they are also the most likely options recognized by the academic community.
This great scientist from the Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory is a bit unconventional...
"Because there are still some data that have not been calculated, it is not convenient to announce the specific design plan for the time being." Li Mo said with a smile: "You can do some later design work first."
"Later stage?" Everyone didn't understand what he meant. Has the controllable nuclear fusion device already begun to consider how to activate it before it even showed up?
"Yes." Li Mo nodded: "Let's just assume that controllable nuclear fusion has been completed."
"Then we designed a brand-new energy conversion device to convert the huge heat energy released by nuclear fusion into electrical energy."
Just...this great scientist looked confident, and everyone was shocked.
Li Mo continued: "Looking at the history of human energy use in modern times, it is just the history of boiling water."
"In the industrial era, humans burned coal to boil water and drove steam turbines to drive cars and ships."
"In the age of electricity, humans burned coal and oil to drive steam turbines to generate electricity."
"In the nuclear age, humans unleashed the power of nuclear fission and boiled water to drive steam turbines to generate electricity."
"So, I don't hope that when controllable nuclear fusion is successful, the energy from the star can still only be used to boil water!"
