Zhao Ye ignored everyone's discussion and continued to talk about his new arrangements.
"Starting from today, I will establish two new research institutes, which will be on the same level as the existing research institutes.
One is the Space Research Institute, whose main research direction is the space field.
The other is the Energy Research Institute, whose main research direction is nuclear fusion.
These two directions are big money burners. The reason why I plan to invest 10 billion US dollars in research is that, in addition to our No. 7 machine, which burns a lot of money, it is these two new research institutes, each of which is a waste of money.
A big money maker."
"Director Zhao, we are a computer company. Why do we need to do research in these two areas? I think it is unlikely that our superiors will approve it."
The speaker was Professor Wu, who is a member of the Academic Committee of Lever and one of the national representatives stationed in Lever.
"I will explain this to my superiors." Zhao Ye did not talk too much about this issue here. He also understood that to invest so much money at one time in these two directions, his superiors must ask. At present,
Based on the interests of the country, the superiors hope that Lihua will invest in other aspects, such as people's livelihood products, export products, etc. The worst is to invest in infrastructure construction, but it is necessary to invest so much money in these two short-term projects.
In areas where benefits are not seen, superiors must ask questions.
Zhao Ye has already made plans to go directly to Deng Gong to confirm this matter. He doesn't have much time. In this limited life, he wants to do more things in these two fields.
In traditional industries, there is a difference in whether it develops faster or slower. But since he came here with a system, why should he create one or two things for mankind that can achieve technological leaps?
Lihua's meeting lasted for half a month, and of course Zhao Ye did not attend all of them. He is not only an entrepreneur, he is also a scientist.
He put forward his own suggestions for enterprise development, and all that was left was for the management committee to implement them. As for himself, he had already submitted an application to the chief executive's office to meet Mr. Deng.
Zhao Ye's application was quickly approved. One evening, Zhao Ye met Mr. Deng. The two talked for a long time, and it was not until late at night that Zhao Ye came out of the leader's office.
In order to convince the chief, Zhao Ye explained his plan to Deng Gong bit by bit, and finally got Deng Gong's support.
Soon, Lever Group quietly established two research institutes. They were called the Second Research Institute and the Third Research Institute to the outside world.
The second research institute is the Space Research Institute. His research direction is currently manned space engineering.
The third research institute is the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, and its research content is the study of controllable nuclear fusion. For this, Zhao Ye can use some external forces. At the very least, the system can give him a rough model, and then he can
In the space laboratory, various simulation experiments are conducted.
The construction of a research institute does not happen overnight. While the engineering troops moved in to carry out construction, the polytechnic also started civil construction.
Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. For scientific research work, talent is also one of the food and grass. Zhao Ye has opened two new research directions, so he needs talents in these two areas.
After a nationwide screening, Zhao Ye reluctantly assembled a scientific research team for these two institutes. But when these experts and scholars came to work here, they could not only do scientific research, but also had to undertake corresponding teaching tasks.
Therefore, Zhao Ye plans to add several new majors to the Beijing Institute of Technology.
One is the space major, which mainly cooperates with the aerospace department to offer some professional courses on space engineering.
The other is to add a nuclear physics major to the original physics department that only recruits graduate students. This is of course also in cooperation with the Nuclear Energy Research Institute. On the one hand, it is to do research on nuclear power plants. On the other hand, it is to select some manufacturable materials and carry out nuclear research.
Research on the subject of fusion.
In this way, Zhao Ye has built three pillars for Lihua: artificial intelligence chips, manned spaceflight, and nuclear fusion.
The three projects are the vanguard of the world's highest technology. For now, artificial intelligence has a semi-finished product. As long as there are money and people in manned spaceflight, there will be no big problem. The key lies in controllable nuclear fusion.
In this regard, there are currently two models in the world, both of which are still at the stage of imagination.
Some countries may already be conducting relevant experiments, but there is still a long way to go before results are produced.
Zhao Ye has no such concerns. His biggest advantage is that his experiment costs are extremely low. This is also the main reason why he wants to invest his limited time in this field.
At Lever Laboratory, Zhao Ye has applied for national support for more metallic hydrogen. He believes that despite the shortcomings of his ring press, it can produce metallic hydrogen in batches after all. The country
This super material must be continuously produced somewhere.
When the school season arrived, the military sent Zhao Ye more than a ton of metallic hydrogen.
The troops performing the escort mission were simply configured in wartime, with fighter jets in the sky and tanks and armored vehicles on the ground. In other words, Lever's laboratory was not placed in the city, but was built in the valley east of the Ming Tombs. Otherwise, it would
I don’t know how many pairs of eyes this movement can startle.
Zhao Ye did not directly start building the world's mainstream Tokmak device. In Zhao Ye's simulation, although there is nothing wrong with the idea of this device, if he wants to achieve true controllable nuclear fusion, his design still has
There are many areas that need improvement.
First of all, because we have metallic hydrogen, we can easily achieve superconductivity. However, it is said that some units have been made in this regard, but there are still some huge difficulties in efficiency conversion, ignition, temperature control, etc.
Zhao Ye has done countless experiments in the system simulator, but this device has never been successful.
This is not to say that the idea of this device is wrong, on the contrary, this device can achieve controllable nuclear fusion, but the problem is that the energy required to invest in this device is too large, and the temperature control is too difficult. It is too difficult to operate.
No problem, it’s just that the gain in efficiency outweighs the loss in efficiency and it’s not sustainable in terms of time.
So what does Zhao Ye plan to do? He does not want to apply the limitations of his ideas to the existing Tokmak device or inertial device. He plans to find a new approach and first create a different nuclear fusion device.
The essence of nuclear fusion is to use tritium nuclei and deuterium nuclei to collide at extremely high speeds, and then let them fuse into a new helium atom and produce a free neutron. In this process, it will release 17.6 trillion electrons
Volts of energy. Theoretically, one gram of a mixture of tritium and deuterium can release energy equivalent to the energy produced by 10,000 liters of gasoline.
In other words, as long as the problem of accelerating deuterium and tritium atoms is solved, nuclear fusion can be achieved. Once the number of atoms participating in the reaction is controlled, it is controllable nuclear fusion.
As for how to collect the generated energy, currently, the most primitive method is to boil hot water. This can be put aside for now, and simpler methods can be left to be studied later.
In Zhao Ye's idea, if you want to accelerate atoms, there is another way to allow atoms to obtain enough collision speed to produce fusion reactions, and that is inertia.
It is different from the inertial device in the current world, which uses the surface inertial force of a closed container to press the atoms inside and outside, causing them to perform Brownian motion, thereby generating high temperature and high speed, and then colliding with each other. Zhao Ye's inertia uses the principle of gravity.
What is the essence of universal gravitation? Someone in this world may give you many answers and many calculation formulas. However, these only explain the phenomenon of universal gravitation, but do not explain the essence of universal gravitation.
In the answer given by Zhao Ye's system, the essence of gravity is the inertial force.
Our planet, including the solar system and the Milky Way, are floating in the cosmic space. And the cosmic space is not really empty, it also has a kind of matter filling it.
Gravity is the inertia produced by the motion of the planet in this material.
Zhao Ye understood this phenomenon as a rut, so a question arises. If you happen to be in the direction in which the earth is moving, are you not affected by this inertia?
The answer is of course no. Every point on the earth has gravity. This is a fact.
What causes this situation is the speed of the earth. In addition to the rotation and revolution of the earth, all stars are also accelerating. In the model given by the system, the entire galaxy is accelerating in one dimension. This speed
Even far faster than the speed of light. In this way, every celestial body in the entire galaxy has its own rut.
Therefore, light-mass stars are not only affected by heavy-mass stars, but also by the ruts of the entire galaxy. Under the influence of such complicated ruts, the earth produces a comprehensive inertial field.
Zhao Ye almost collapsed when he looked at the gravitational field rut diagram of the solar system simulated by the system.
But if we were only talking about the earth, many ruts could even be ignored for the time being.
Zhao Ye's idea is to create a device that allows deuterium atoms to find another rut, such as the sun's rut, so that it can escape from the speed of the sun's rut in an instant, such as a billionth of a second. In this way, due to inertia,
By using force, it generates a reverse speed that exceeds the speed of light. In this way, it has enough speed to collide with deuterium atoms, thereby producing a nuclear fusion reaction.
In this way, how to make atoms find the rut in another dimension has become the key to the success of this device.
Zhao Ye may not have thought at this time that his choice could also create another device, which is artificial gravity, or a gravity engine.
