Earth, inside the Institute of Magnetic Energy Physics, Xinghai Institute of Science and Technology.
Liu Yuan is explaining some theories and knowledge related to magnetic energy physics to many scientists and researchers.
If you want to develop warp engine technology, there are many difficulties and technologies that need to be overcome, the most critical of which is controllable nuclear fusion technology.
At present, the only technology that can provide powerful energy for the warp engine is controllable nuclear fusion technology. Apart from this, no other technology can provide powerful enough energy for the warp engine.
The most familiar application of nuclear fusion technology is the hydrogen bomb. The principle of the hydrogen bomb is the principle of nuclear fusion. It uses the powerful energy generated during nuclear fusion to destroy local targets.
But nuclear fusion technology can not only be used to make weapons, its greater role is to provide endless powerful energy.
The energy produced by nuclear fusion is very powerful and terrifying. The sun is a super large nuclear fusion planet, which is undergoing terrible nuclear fusion all the time, releasing endless and huge energy.
The reaction process of nuclear fusion is difficult to control with current technology.
The most critical point is that the terrifying high temperatures produced during nuclear fusion can reach hundreds of millions of degrees. Under such terrifying high temperatures, no material can withstand and control it, and everything will be directly transformed into an ion state.
In order to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, scientists have put forward many hypotheses and ideas. Two of them are theoretically feasible. One is the laser confinement method, which uses powerful lasers to confine the powerful energy generated during nuclear fusion.
, but laser confinement also has its own shortcomings. For example, current technology cannot produce a laser powerful enough to constrain such a huge amount of energy.
The second method is the magnetic confinement method, which uses a strong magnetic field to constrain the power generated during nuclear fusion. This method is currently the only relatively feasible method, and it is also a method currently being studied and overcome by the Institute of Magnetic Energy Physics.
"What is the problem we are having right now?"
"The problem we are encountering now is that the magnetic field is too dispersed. As you can see, the entire magnetic field is distributed according to the strength of the magnetic field, with the strongest at the two poles and the weakest in the middle."
"It's not that the magnetic field we currently create is too weak, but that the distribution of the magnetic field is too scattered, which results in great limitations in its effect."
"This is like the light from the sun. When countless lights are scattered, it doesn't seem to be anything special. But when we use mirrors to concentrate a large number of light beams to one point, it will produce terrifying high temperatures and ignite instantly.
everything."
"The same goes for magnetic fields. If we want to use magnetic fields to restrain the terrifying energy and high temperatures produced during nuclear fusion, we must find ways to restrain and concentrate the magnetic field. Only when it is restrained and concentrated can it have a powerful effect.
, enough to control terrifying high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees.”
Liu Yuan looked at the hundreds of scientists and researchers sitting in the conference room in front of him, and also explained the technologies and theories related to the inheritance seeds.
Many times when it comes to scientific and technological research and breakthroughs, Liu Yuan does not directly present the technology, but points out the direction and puts forward some theories, allowing these scientists to slowly study it themselves.
But now, the situation is a bit special and time is urgent, so Liu Yuan has to come to the Institute of Magnetic Energy Physics frequently to give classes, explain, and do related research with everyone.
A lot of research results have been achieved so far, and it is now possible to create a magnetic field with a strength of tens of thousands of Gauss, and a strong magnetic field of tens of thousands of Gauss. Many people may not know how terrifying it is.
The Earth's magnetic field strength is only 0.3-0.8 Gauss, and the terrifying Jupiter's magnetic field strength is only a few dozen Gauss.
Xinghai Technology can already create terrifyingly strong magnetic fields of tens of thousands of gauss, which shows how terrifyingly Xinghai Technology's technology has developed in this regard.
But even if the intensity has reached tens of thousands of Gauss, the magnetic field still cannot meet the requirements of scientists and cannot be used to control and restrain powerful energy.
Because this also involves another level of technology, which is to constrain and concentrate the magnetic field. Only by constraining and concentrating the magnetic field can magical changes occur.
This is just like sunlight. When thousands of sunlight rays are concentrated, the temperature that can be generated is very terrifying. It can easily reach hundreds of degrees or thousands of degrees. As long as there are enough concentrated beams, the temperature can reach above
Everything is very easy.
The same principle applies to magnetic fields. A dispersed magnetic field is nothing and can even be invisible to humans. However, it is different when the magnetic fields are constrained together.
In the interstellar universe, some civilizations specialize in the study of magnetic energy. When technology develops to a certain level, terrifying magnetic energy weapons can be created.
Magnetic energy weapons are extremely terrifying. Everything containing iron and nickel will be completely destroyed by the powerful magnetic energy wherever it passes. Even trace amounts of iron elements in living organisms will be stripped away.
What is even more terrifying is the magnetic energy weapon. It is invisible and colorless, and it does not even have any fluctuations when it attacks. Only when it comes, you will realize how powerful and terrifying it is, but by that time it is already too late.
If magnetic energy technology is developed to a higher level, magnetic energy shield technology can also be developed, using magnetic fields to form a powerful defense. Magnetic energy attacks and energy attacks will not pose any threat to it at all. It is an extremely powerful technology.
.
Therefore, the current research on magnetic energy technology is not only to study controllable nuclear fusion technology, but also to prepare for the future.
In the interstellar universe, wars between civilizations are very frequent. If you do not master powerful technological weapons, you will often be bullied miserably, or even be directly destroyed by others.
This is the real interstellar universe written by countless cosmic civilizations with their bloody history. The interstellar universe is not a warm treat for dinner and making friends, but a cruel one of the weak and the strong. The truth is only within the range of a cannon.
In fact, it is the same not only in the interstellar universe, but also on the earth. It has been like this from ancient times to the present, and there has been no change from beginning to end.
Research on magnetic energy technology is currently used to control nuclear fusion. In the future, it can also be used to develop magnetic energy weapons and magnetic energy defense technology. Coupled with energy technology, at least in the future, we can travel sideways in the galaxy.
"Boss, how should we constrain the magnetic field?"
Someone thought for a while and asked.
"Then we all need to study together. I'm not a god. I know everything."
Liu Yuan smiled and replied.
"Haha~"
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed in unison.
To be honest, after everyone has been with Liu Yuan for a long time, they will naturally feel that Liu Yuan knows everything and is omnipotent.
Because whether it is in the fields of magnetic energy physics or optics, or in many fields such as biology, chemistry, materials science, etc., there is no one who Liu Yuan doesn’t understand, and he doesn’t know how to do it.
He seems to be at the forefront of all disciplines. He is an omniscient genius who is always able to come up with things and theories that no one can think of, guiding the Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute's technology to develop at an unimaginable speed.
The technologies currently announced and displayed by Xinghai Technology are just the tip of the iceberg. There are still a large number of technologies on Xinghai Technology that have not been displayed or announced to the outside world at all.
For example, in the field of biotechnology, scientists from Xinghai Technology are currently researching technologies and drugs that can extend human lifespan, and have achieved good scientific and technological results.
According to the data currently obtained in the laboratory, the drugs currently developed can extend human life to 300 years, which is almost four times the current average human life span.
This is a very scary technology. Once any news of it leaks out, Xinghai Technology will really be doomed. Rich people and powerful people in the world will not let Xinghai Technology go, because everyone wants to have more
To live a long life instead of watching yourself grow old slowly and eventually be buried in the soil.
There are many technologies similar to this, and they are all technologies that can have a huge shock to the entire human society. Liu Yuan ordered a strict blockade. Very few people knew about it, and no one dared to leak any information.
Liu Yuan even asked the inheritance seeds to be closely monitored, and would take immediate and decisive measures if there were any signs of leaks.
Now Xinghai Technology is on the cusp of the storm, but nothing can happen. Liu Yuan just wants to develop the warp engine as soon as possible, so that he can move to alien planets as soon as possible. In this way, he will be the leader.
The sky is high and the birds can fly, no longer need to be restrained.
People at the Institute of Magnetic Energy Physics are busy again. With the direction pointed out by Liu Yuan, the speed of research is rapid and progress is rapid, which makes Liu Yuan very satisfied.
If the magnetic confinement device is manufactured, controllable nuclear fusion technology will be just around the corner. The core and key problems will be solved, and other problems will be nothing to Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute.
"It's time to go to the Laser Research Institute to see the research status of the ignition device."
Liu Yuan looked at the busy people, and after thinking about it, he was ready to go to the Laser Research Institute to take a look at the ignition device.
The so-called ignition device refers to the device that ignites nuclear fusion.
The occurrence of nuclear fusion requires certain conditions. It requires a very high temperature to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The hydrogen bomb can explode because the hydrogen bomb is detonated by an atomic bomb. The terrifying high temperature generated by the atomic bomb is used to ignite the raw materials for nuclear fusion.
Finally, the hydrogen bomb exploded.
But controllable nuclear fusion obviously cannot be operated in this way, it requires the use of an ignition device.
