Professor Samuel A. proposed a Princeton anti-field configuration based on strong magnetic confinement in 2002 of this century, and then launched the DFD concept - direct fusion engine.
In the following years, it has been invested by the Department of Energy and Princeton as a "tryable" project.
Both Android and Apple are available.】
In the plan, the engine will use helium 3 and deuterium fusion to complete fusion - that is, helium 3 fusion, and then obtain an aircraft engine with high specific power, adjustable thrust, specific impulse and low radiation.
Of course, in the past two decades, the progress of this project has been extremely slow. The biggest difficulty is that the conditions for completing helium 3 fusion are difficult to meet. To be precise, the temperature system is difficult to achieve.
Until a year ago, a Chinese scientist achieved ultra-high equivalent pressure through a ye field.
…
"Actually, we should thank Huo Laien."
In Professor White's office, Coles, an official from the Department of Energy, held a fat cigar in his mouth and smiled broadly: "If it weren't for his plan on the constraint array..."
Before Coles finished speaking, the professor's assistant coughed lightly.
Coles immediately stopped talking.
He has long heard that there is a lot of conflict between Professor White and Huo Laien, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true - in fact, when he mentions Huo Laien now, he mainly resents Professor Huo Laien.
Escape.
Initially, Hollion, Dennis, Musk, and he and Mark Five from NASA proposed the space program to the White House after the Global Controlled Nuclear Fusion Conference, and immediately received approval and support.
But less than a year later, Huo Laien, as the signatory of the plan, escaped!
How do you think he feels?
Hearing Coles mention Huo Laien, Professor White just frowned slightly, without showing too much displeasure, but nodded: "Yes, but this is not in line with our previous plan. Helium
3 Fusion should be used in aircraft naturally.”
"Although the fusion conditions have been solved so that fusion can occur, it has also changed the inverse field model. We currently cannot solve the problem of completing the power conversion while realizing the jet, and the utilization of high-energy proton beams is not enough."
Professor White sighed softly as he spoke.
Although there has always been a rift between him and Huo Laien, you can't help but admit his technological achievements - science doesn't lie.
Compared with Musk's Mars plan, the resources obtained by the PFRC team's engine plan are obviously insufficient. Under this circumstance, taking the lead in completing helium 3 fusion will not only affect future resources, but also the country's increasingly shaky international influence.
Good strength...
All are beneficial.
Although Musk doesn't keep his mouth shut and often says things that no one will listen to and cannot believe, there is one thing he says is right - if you don't spend money, then the money will be worthless.
To make money valuable, we need to keep this country taking the lead in the field of advanced science and technology to "win back the city."
——Frankly speaking, Huo Laien arrived at the provincial level and immediately co-signed a paper with Ye Ming that faced dimensions. This had a great influence on the entire academic world. It is no exaggeration to say that it was shocking.
Therefore, the pfrc team gave up the immature engine plan and turned to helium 3 fusion.
It was only announced yesterday that helium-3 fusion will be ignited in a week.
It's just a little regretful.
"Professor, don't sigh." Coles put out his cigar and laughed: "As long as you can ignite helium 3, even if it is only ten seconds... your funding will be ten times what it is now."
"That's for sure." Professor White put away his emotions and a smile appeared on his face.
…
…
"Sometimes, I really admire the beauty. She is so confident."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ming's sleepiness disappeared.
Of course he knows the pfrc team - because he referred to the pfrc design plan at the beginning. After all, they proposed the configuration and the concept of direct fusion engine 20 years ago.
And over the years, there has been technological advancement, but it has been very slow, and many technologies are still just ppt.
However, after getting the plan later, Ye Ming found that the plan was of course no problem in the field of magnetic confinement coils, but after adding the ye field, it would be difficult to design, and it could not be basically directly replaced like a tokamak.
.
Therefore, Ye Ming's final design is original, and its constraint environment strictly adheres to the definition of Ye's equation on the Hilbert surface, and achieves multi-stage ion control.
"Why do you say that?" He Mo asked curiously after taking Ye Ming's phone again.
"Because they are obviously lagging behind us in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, but they believe that their technical capabilities can overtake us in a corner."
Thinking that this news was a public notice, Ye Ming shook his head.
"Hmm... But I think the above attitude this time is a bit strange." He Mo pursed his lips and thought about it seriously.
Ever since she heard Director Niu say he was going to announce the success, she had been listening carefully to the phone call - thanks to the quiet driving environment and sound insulation, she could hear the phone call clearly.
Moreover, she also noticed that Director Niu directly said the news of "announcement of success".
This... has the meaning of not allowing failure.
In other words, even if you fail, you must declare success - at least find a "success" that can be declared.
Frankly speaking, this is very abnormal.
"Well, it's indeed wonderful, but... I think this may also represent a change in attitude towards competition." Ye Ming closed his eyes and quickly went through the current situation in his mind.
He was a little surprised before as to why the progress of the work that had been kept secret was suddenly announced, but now that he has entered a substantial new stage, he can somewhat understand it.
There was a joke in the past that the reason for keeping it secret was so that others wouldn’t know how backward we were...
In the past, there was indeed no competitive capital.
But now, it can even be said that.
The results achieved by both parties in any future-oriented technology and the announcement of the results actually represent a display of muscles.
And this muscle display is not even just for showing someone...
But show it to others.
It's like if the second-in-command wants to take over the position of the first-in-command and subdue the younger ones, you can't just rely on being gentle. You also have to let the younger ones know how strong you are, and let the first-in-command know how strong you are - this can also avoid many unnecessary conflicts.
.
"Then...it should be fine this time, right?"
Ye Ming chuckled: "It seems like you don't believe me?"
He Mo: "..."
Ye Ming looked at the highway ahead, remained silent for a few seconds and then closed his eyes.
"Our biggest problem is helium 3. Maple Leaf is out of stock, which really gives us a lot of trouble."
