"Including us, the tritium self-sustainability of controllable nuclear fusion in countries around the world is at a somewhat embarrassing level. Although scientists have continued to work hard over the past thirty years and through various solutions, the tritium recovery rate has increased from 70
% has reached our current level of about 94%. But it is obvious that this recovery rate must be infinitely close to 100% in order for controllable nuclear fusion to become a real 1-cent electricity bill."
Ye Ming briefly talked about the importance of two sentences - of course everyone present knows it, but this meeting report is for relevant leaders, so he added a few more words. (Actually, it is for readers and leaders to see^_^)
"Based on this operation, it was verified that our previous tritium breeding program was feasible. But it also verified our previous prediction of the program. That is to say, if we continue to improve the current program, the 95% breeding recovery rate is
It’s the upper limit.”
"Therefore, it is necessary to adopt new solutions that are different from traditional liquid lithium-containing metals and solid lithium-containing ceramics as growth technology solutions."
As Ye Ming turned the page of the PPT, a new plan appeared on the screen: "This is a design based on the Aita supercomputer that uses lithium silicate spheres for proliferation. After special treatment of lithium silicate, in the simulation
In the forecast, a value-added recovery rate of 98% may be achieved.”
"If we increase the temperature and control the ratio of deuterium and tritium at the same time, we can achieve a Q value of 120 times. Coupled with the excellent power generation system of the State Nuclear Corporation, if we maintain a 15% gross profit margin, then the grid-connected price can be achieved
About 3 cents.”
Chief Engineer Luo laughed loudly: "You wear such a high hat, but if you can't make these 3 cents when the time comes, won't the people want to settle accounts with me?"
Someone below laughed: "The reason for wrangling is the State Grid, not the power plant."
Mr. Luo nodded: "That's right."
At the end, he said with emotion: "It's a pity that even if the tritium value-added reaches 98%, we still can't build many buildings unless we can achieve 99.99%."
Ye Ming just smiled: "Anyway, I walk on two legs, so don't be in a hurry."
"Well, don't worry, you continue."
"Okay, after talking about tritium valorization, let's continue talking about helium 3 fusion."
"In the plan announced by NASA, they did not mention using controllable fusion reactions as engines, and they also do not consider controllable fusion reactions as direct power to be a mature technology."
"Because the product of the most mature deuterium-tritium reaction theory is high-energy neutrons, I think... no matter how courageous Musk is, he would not dare to let the engine butt spray a neutron beam, right?"
Everyone laughed.
Because neutrons are electrically neutral, they will not be "blocked", so they are fast, penetrating, and emit strong radiation. This is why the previous Tokamak fusion reactors were restrained by ultra-strong magnetic fields.
"So we have reason to guess that the aerospace fusion engines developed in the west only use controllable nuclear fusion as energy, and are essentially electric propulsion."
"But helium-3 fusion is different. In addition to being used to generate energy, it can also be used as a propulsion engine - mainly to solve high-energy proton radiation or dilute high-energy proton radiation."
Ye Ming breathed out softly.
"I have an immature idea about these two points."
As he spoke, Ye Ming turned to the next page.
All eyes are on the picture.
This is a very complex surface space formula.
"A month ago, didn't we talk about how different spatial arrays of constrained wells would produce unequal ultra-strong wave fields? Later, I followed this idea and designed a multi-wave field array. Through calculation, the array produced
The gravitational field can realize the phenomenon of space membrane."
Ye Ming pursed his lips and his eyes were extremely bright.
This formula was actually "stolen" by him from the antimatter restraint device!
In essence, it is a "magic modification" of the antimatter restraint device.
"During the ignition stage, the helium 3 plasma slurry will continuously collide with the membrane wall, obtaining strong energy and pressure, thereby generating fusion. Because the reaction channel is curved, protons will continue to collide, thereby increasing the temperature, allowing the reaction to continue.
At the same time, protons are captured at low latitudes in the curved space to complete proton power generation."
"First Evolution"
"Finally, when the proton reaches the end of the curved space, we add a magnetic field to constrain the proton, and finally complete the deceleration and harmless treatment of the proton, completing the power push."
After Ye Ming finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "This is what I can think of. Before humans master the antimatter engine and the curvature engine, the only option for the stars and the sea is."
After a minute, the applause stopped.
Everyone looked away from the screen.
Anyway, I won’t understand it for a while, so I’ll save it for later.
Even if Ye Ming's "immature ideas" are reliable - facts have proven that his ideas have always been reliable.
But there is still the biggest problem, which is the source of helium 3.
Although helium-3 fusion has long been called the "ultimate fusion" by popular science writers, and the helium-3 on the moon alone is enough for humans to use for six thousand years...
However, that was on the moon.
On Earth, the amount of helium 3 found in nature is approximately zero.
So where does helium 3 come from?
Go to the moon to build a factory? Develop the moon?
It sounds pretty good, but how to take the first step?
Use the Long March 5 to send machinery and equipment upwards?
I'm afraid I'm not crazy...
Building a space station is so laborious, but we need to build a lunar factory, and we don’t know how much money it will cost.
Moreover, once it is built, mining, analysis, refining, and transportation are all troublesome.
To put it bluntly, this is no less difficult than human beings "immigrating" to the moon.
Ye Ming obviously knows what everyone is thinking.
He exhaled softly and smiled.
"You have to go up first. Even if you build a workshop, as long as you can complete the self-sustaining reaction of the fusion reactor, it won't be a loss."
Beside him, Professor Huo Liang was silent. After a few seconds, he looked at Ye Ming: "Can Aita complete the control of the entire production process, including collection, analysis, and refining, under the delay condition of one second?"
Everyone's spirits were instantly lifted, and they all looked at the prototype machine standing aside.
At this time, Ye Ming was carrying a sensor, she was Yin Ta.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Yin Ta nodded reservedly and bowed slightly.
"I think I can."
…
Three days later, the West formally proposed a plan to form a next-generation science and technology alliance organization with the G7 as the core - SA, Sce, and the two houses of Congress also began to review the five trillion plan.
Affected by this news, the U.S. stock market, which had been in the doldrums for a month, began to recover.
At the same time, certain two aircraft carriers began to appear frequently and military exercises continued.
...(You can think of other things, but I don’t dare to write them anyway)
June 1st.
Ye Ming took Yin Ta and He Mo on the high-speed train to the capital.
He was going to attend a meeting held by the science and technology department on how to deal with "future plans".
In the compartment of the train.
Unlike He Mo's excited look, Ye Ming looked helplessly at the tweets that dominated the headlines on various social media.
——"High technology helps national defense, the style of the first batch of mechanical warriors in our army"
This... doesn't it mean that JiZhi Technology is directly admitted to be an arms company?
(Ah, just this chapter tonight, four chapters tomorrow...)
