Although Ye Ming has never been exposed to controlled nuclear fusion, elementary school students can understand the principle of that thing - under high temperature and high pressure, when two lighter atoms are brought together, new matter will be generated and energy will be released if the conditions are met.
For example, deuterium-tritium fusion is when a deuterium atom and a tritium atom come together under high temperature and pressure to generate a helium atom and a neutron and release energy.
If the utilization of energy is not required, then high temperature and high pressure are easy to solve. Smart people knew the solution 70 years ago - add an atomic bomb!
Here are the simple instructions for making a hydrogen bomb.
But controllable nuclear fusion obviously cannot be done in this way. Its purpose is to control the speed of the fusion reaction and utilize the energy. This is simple to say, but difficult to do.
For several decades, scientists have succeeded one after another, and it is still an eternity of fifty years.
"Yin Ta, let's open up some ideas." Ye Ming put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling, staring at the spider web that was woven out of nowhere.
"Antimatter must not be in direct contact with normal matter, right?"
"right."
"So, it must be hanging, right?"
"right."
"Even in the absence of gravity - antimatter is affected by gravity."
"Why is antimatter affected by gravity?"
"Because what I am saying now is that the antimatter that exists under the current theoretical framework has mass, and it seems to follow the principle of giving mass by the Higgs field. It is just opposite to the charge of positive matter, and not even the physical rules are absolute.
Mirror image - Well, that's not important. What's important is that I want to convince you to realize that restraining antimatter requires a very strong force field. I even suspect that the utilization of antimatter is accomplished by a similar force field."
"Therefore, if we expand our imagination a little bit, the way to utilize antimatter might be the upgrade of your civilization from controllable nuclear fusion."
"I agree with this."
"Look." Ye Ming smiled proudly: "Is there any problem with my thinking?"
"Then are you going to start a controlled nuclear fusion experiment?"
"Do you think I'm a god? The whole country's scientific research system revolves around my crazy conjecture?"
"Use less rhetorical questions."
"...But this is indeed an idea. Once I get the brain computer and quantum computer ready, I will try it!"
"Then should you upgrade my bandwidth first?"
"...!"
Five seconds later, Qi and Mo just stretched and were about to complain to Ye Ming when they saw this guy opening the door without looking back.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the lab to weld something."

It took another week for Ye Ming to complete the experimental design of another compound, N-CPVA, but this time he did it secretly in the middle of the night.
After several failures, the extraction was finally completed. However, N-CPVA is not a crystal like O-Grct and can be used for various operations. It is purely in powder form and is a simple catalyst no matter how you look at it.
By the end of March, Lao Tao also applied for a municipal project on insulating hydrogels for Sheng Fei, which was quite generous to him - but the project was applied for and funding was available, but Sheng Fei could not find it.
He had no choice but to unswervingly implement the hugging plan, come to Ye Ming every day to talk, and also reported to New Semiconductor O-Grct - he also gave him a popular and easy-to-remember name "Ye Dy".
You see, Ye Ming was embarrassed to hide it anymore after he had accomplished this. After accompanying Sheng Fei to the supercomputing center several times, he finally revealed the generation steps.
Of course, Sheng Fei was not as amateur as Ye Ming in the field of materials. He knew at a glance that these preparation methods were extremely complicated and contained new materials.
A minute after Ye Ming sent the document, Sheng Fei's news came back instantly.
"Damn it! Did you dig a mine just to build a house?"
"You suppressed it." Ye Ming smiled and typed: "When I have time to count how many brain cells have died, I will ask you to reimburse me then."
"Hahaha, how about I give you my brain? I will ensure that my brain cells have a higher survival rate than yours."
Ye Ming: "..."
A moment later, news from Sheng Fei came again: "I really didn't realize that Ye Dy could be used as a reactant. Let me interview you. How did you come up with the idea?"
"Because it itself is solving a secondary reaction equation in the hydrogel reaction, I will start with it later."
"Awesome...you know the materials better than the people we work with."
Ye Mingxin said I knew nothing.
Sheng Fei's messages came one after another: "Unlike us, I have been playing with Ye Dy these days, but I didn't think of it as a reaction material."
Ye Ming: "By the way, then...Ye Dy, have you accomplished anything?"
"Can you allow me to prepare a surprise for you?"
Ye Ming was startled. Did this guy really make any new discoveries?
Sheng Fei: "Forget it, I'm not as able to hold back as you are. I'm now designing an experiment with continuous high current and high voltage - this thing seems to be particularly resistant to manufacturing. It's almost catching up with gallium nitride, but it's a pity that it can't emit light.
.”
Ye Ming thought for a while and immediately replied: "Then design it quickly. Do you want my help?"
"Brother, can you give me a sense of accomplishment?"
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, okay... Then I'll wait for your good news."
After ending the call, Ye Ming looked at the electronic calendar - this was Mo Gu's birthday gift to him.
It is already April 2nd.
Needless to say, among the large research groups, the one who moves the fastest is naturally the task he is responsible for.
Although he did not design the hybrid chip that was installed in his brain, he had already designed the integrated circuit used for experiments, and also gave it to Yang Chaoxiong and others to design by hand.
Next is Mo Gu and his team.
Even though Mo Gu is young, in the field of surgery, practice has always emphasized the importance of making perfect. Her team has achieved anastomosis of all major nerves in mice and obtained a large amount of first-hand information...
An article for The Lancet has now been prepared.
If it goes well, it will be the first S of the Center for Brain Science.
Although Old Tang didn't say anything, Ye Ming could still feel Old Tang's eagerness.
Although the published articles will eventually end up in the Brain Research Center, and everyone will benefit, but...as the person in charge of the provincial government...Old Tang still hopes that the first top article will be published by his team.
Old Tang needed honor, and the pressure came on Ye Ming.
The problem is that Ye Ming is not able to pronounce the word "S" related to the topic, and secondly, he doesn't really want to pronounce it. Even insulating hydrogel, he doesn't want to.
Because the production chain of this thing is too long, as soon as it is released, all three new materials must be released at once, especially that...Ye Di.
But Ye Ming still wants to hide this!
In the midst of confusion, the door was pushed open, and Old Tang walked into the laboratory with a spring breeze on his face.
