Chapter 439: This gap seems unreasonable! The beginning of nuclear fusion research!
Aeronautical Materials Institute, a large experimental room at the rear base.
Wang Hao stood in front of the experimental operating table, stared at a small group of powdery objects on the table, and asked, "Is this the extracted granular material?"
"right."
Cao Dongming nodded and said, "There are many other (materials) over there, but they are all large particles and shapeless. We then separated them and only got this small pile of materials. We used a microscope to determine that they have a semi-topological structure.
particle form."
Wang Hao nodded lightly.
Yang Yunhe pointed to the mixer on the operating table and eagerly introduced, "Academician Wang, take a look at this again, the mixer designed by our team."
"In this study, the stirrer played a huge role. We made three consecutive improvements and conducted many experiments before we determined that this form can separate granular materials."
Wang Hao followed and looked over.
The stirrer is a metal pillar with complex fan blade designs around it. To some extent, it can be understood as the saw teeth of a wall breaker. During the experiment, the stirrer rotated rapidly to completely break up the metal liquid, making it become
Each small particle.
Qu Gui also said, "Our several experiments were mainly focused on the mixer, and there is nothing else to adjust."
"We all thought the blender pattern was the breaking point."
"Experiments have proven that this is indeed the case."
Yang Yunhe was also very happy to be recognized, because the mixer was the research done by his team and it could play a role in the experiment, which was his achievement and contribution.
Wang Hao walked over and inspected it carefully, touched a few fan blades with his hands, nodded and commented, "It's amazing!"
Yang Yunhe was immediately excited.
Although he is much older than Wang Hao, the academic influence of both sides is not at the same level. It is also worthwhile to be recognized by Wang Hao.
Both are academicians.
But the gap between academicians and academicians is huge, even unbelievably huge.
Some academicians can remain famous throughout the ages, and their research is considered to have made significant contributions. Some academicians are simply not recognized by anyone, and most of their research is not recognized.
Yang Yunhe belongs to the latter. His research field is metal processing and precision machining, which is more engineering-oriented, and most of his achievements are niche.
In addition, high-end manufacturing and precision processing are big fields.
There is a lot of research in large fields, and his research is just adding bricks and mortar. Some breakthroughs can improve the technical level, but some are highly substitutable, and it is difficult to say how much improvement there will be.
Yang Yunhe has always hoped that he can achieve more outstanding results.
It is now.
The research on micron-scale granular materials is very important, and the stirrer he led the team to develop helped the new granular material manufacturing technology achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1.
Next, they continued to explain the experimental process to Wang Hao.
Yang Yunhe also kept saying, "Now we have taken the first step, and the next step is to slowly study and continue to improve."
"A brand new manufacturing technology needs to be slowly improved."
"The most important thing is that we have created it, which shows that this road is feasible..."
Others could only nod along.
Wang Hao just smiled. He didn't care what Tang Yunhe said. He just continued to understand the experimental plan, various participants and the experimental results.
After most of them were understood, he was silent for a while and said, "Well, you will do another experiment in the afternoon, starting from material cutting to manufacturing."
"I want to see the whole process..."
This request came as a surprise.
Yang Yunhe said in surprise, "Academician Wang, if we start from material cutting to production, it will take at least three days."
"Three days is three days."
Wang Hao said nonchalantly, "I was prepared before I came. I will stay in the capital for at least half a month this time, and I have to go to the science and technology department next Monday."
"All right."
Yang Yunhe and Cao Dongming looked at each other and immediately summoned others to prepare for the experiment.
This time it is a repeat of the last experiment.
They had done many experiments in a row, and the preparation for the experiment was relatively simple. In the afternoon, the experiment officially started.
The first preparation is to cut the material.
This part is the responsibility of Yang Yun and his team. Several manufacturing processes are required to cut the material in order to achieve faster dissolution of the material at high temperatures.
At the same time, the equipment is debugged to ensure that a special environment corresponding to voltage, magnetic field and temperature can be created.
During the entire experiment, Wang Hao stayed in the operation room, carefully checking every step, and would ask questions when he encountered something he didn't understand.
This enables a detailed understanding of the entire manufacturing process.
On the afternoon of the third day, the experiment was over. They successfully produced granular materials in the container, but after cooling, only a small amount of powdered materials were obtained. Most of them were still glued together, or simply had no form.
.
"Only a few succeed in separation."
"We think the main reason is still the stirring rod." Yang Yunhe said, "We have discussed making the fan blades more densely distributed and doubling the rotation speed of the central shaft, maybe we can get more powder particles."
Wang Hao nodded and said, "It is indeed related to the stirring stick."
His voice changed and he said, "But I think it is not to make the fan blades more densely distributed, but to reduce the number of blades, and the central shaft speed should also be reduced."
"Reduce quantity? Lower?"
Yang Yunhe was completely puzzled.
Cao Dongming and Qu Gui also didn't understand. They also believed that the small number of powdery particles was caused by 'insufficient stirring'.
If the number of blades is increased and the rotation speed of the central shaft is increased, more powdered materials can be obtained.
Wang Haodao said, "I have watched the entire experimental process, and I have watched every step. There is no problem on the whole, but the final powder particles obtained are very few."
"So the problem must be with the final mixer process."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There is no problem with the superconducting metal solution, and the stirring intensity is high enough. So have you ever thought about a possibility? Maybe it is not insufficient stirring.
But it was stirred too thoroughly.”
"Those powder particles that have been separated are bonded together again under more thorough stirring..."
He pointed at a large lump of metal stuck together and said, "If you look at this lump of metal, you will find that it is composed of small particles."
"Most small particles have a semi-topological structure."
Having said that, enough is enough.
Yang Yunhe, Cao Dongming and Qu Gui all looked at the ball of metal at the same time. Qu Gui simply walked over and placed the metal under the device and used the device's amplifier to observe it.
This is a direct magnification observation, the magnification is not that high, but it can still be seen that the metal is indeed composed of particles.
Yang Yunhe also went over to take a look, and he was a little reluctant to believe it.
What Wang Hao denied was his judgment.
If Wang Hao's statement is correct, it proves that his judgment is wrong. He couldn't help but whisper, "Maybe they are not particles with a semi-topological structure?" "Many materials look like this when magnified.
…”
This statement also makes sense.
However, Cao Dongming and Qu Gui were more willing to believe Wang Hao, and they could observe the specific situation and draw conclusions. They immediately asked others to slice and study the metal. As long as it was observed under more sophisticated equipment, they could know the tiny
What is the specific shape of the particles?
After the actual slice observation, the experimenter also made an enlarged picture, which showed the shape of more than a dozen tiny particles.
It is clear.
Wang Hao is right.
"These are semi-topological particles, that is to say, we have separated them, but the stirring power is too strong, causing them to stick together." Cao Dongming concluded.
Wang Hao said, "This is also related to the magnetic field."
"Your magnetic field design is in two directions. I think you can try to use a vertical circular magnetic field layout to keep the magnetic field direction consistent with the stirring direction."
"That way, the small particles won't stick together easily."
Wang Hao made another suggestion.
Yang Yunhe stopped talking this time, because the results had proven that he was wrong, but he was still very positive about the experiment. He immediately studied with the rest of the team to remove the fan blades and also modified the mixing container.
Cao Dongming found other people and worked together to modify the magnetic field generating device.
Although the magnetic field cannot be quickly transformed into a perfect circular layout, there is still no problem in controlling the whole to follow the stirring direction.
One day later, the research team conducted a second test.
This time, there was no need to make any preliminary preparations. They used the existing materials to directly conduct the final step of research. After pouring the melted materials into the container containing the superconducting metal liquid, the outer seal was closed and the central stirring device was turned on.
Accompanied by a "buzzing" sound, the stirring only lasted about twenty seconds and then stopped.
After that, we enter the cooling and extraction stages.
After entering this stage, everyone already knew that the experiment was successful, because they could clearly see a lot of powder particles instead of substances glued together.
Wang Hao couldn't help but smile.
Although the results cannot yet be determined and the specific size of the manufactured granular materials is not known, even large particles of about a hundred microns can greatly improve the annihilation force field technology based on metal materials.
These include transverse anti-gravity technology, conventional anti-gravity technology and f-ray generation technology. F-ray generation technology is directly related to controllable nuclear fusion technology.
The biggest difficulty in controllable nuclear fusion technology lies in the reaction vessel.
Whether it is a tokamak magnetic field device or other theoretical research, the ultimate goal is to create a container that can accommodate high-intensity reactions.
Today's micron-level granular materials can increase the intensity of the DC antigravity field and the outer layer's strong annihilation force field.
The inner anti-gravity field can reduce the reaction speed.
The strength of the outer strong annihilation force field is high, and the maximum limit of energy it can absorb is high, which means that the reaction intensity that the container can accommodate is higher.
This ensures safety and stability.
After the experiment, Wang Hao also praised, "The research has finally made great progress. Everyone has done a good job. This research is really important."
"I don't have to keep secrets from you either."
"The day after tomorrow I will go to the science and technology department to talk about nuclear fusion technology. With the progress of granular materials, the foundation for nuclear fusion research will be more stable..."
"..."
What Wang Hao said is still shocking.
Cao Dongming and Qu Gui were both very excited. They knew that research was very important, but before, they only knew that it was related to the annihilation force field.
result……
Related to controllable nuclear fusion?
Yang Yunhe was also very excited, but he couldn't laugh and felt severely hit.
He always felt that his research was very powerful, helping the research of granular materials to achieve breakthroughs from 0 to 1.
But if you think about it carefully, the basis of their research is Wang Hao's theory. Even if they achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1, they have done it together. The research on the mixer is just a small difficulty.
Wang Hao came to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, and it only took him a week to make great progress in their research, which can be said to have achieved a breakthrough from 1 to 100.
This gap...
It doesn’t feel reasonable!
…
What Wang Hao went to the science and technology department to discuss was nuclear fusion technology.
Decision-makers in the science and technology department and other institutions want to know Wang Hao's views on nuclear fusion research, because nuclear fusion is a very important research, and it is not easy to just make up your mind to do research.
Wang Hao's opinion is crucial.
Wang Hao had not paid much attention to the research on nuclear fusion before, mainly because he did not have enough foundation. He rashly started a project to do large-scale engineering research. There were too many technical difficulties that needed to be overcome. If he wanted to truly create a controllable nuclear fusion device, it would be difficult.
Extremely difficult.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is different now.
Wang Hao believes that a certain foundation has been laid, and the research on nuclear fusion can also be discussed and put on the agenda.
That's what he said in the tech sector.
Obviously.
Wang Hao's personal influence is very great, and his opinions even play a decisive role.
When they returned to Xihai from the capital, the science and technology department had already spread the word in advance, and some media began to make early 'exploratory' reports.
"Century Project: Flower growers are preparing to start a nuclear fusion research project!"
"Nuclear fusion, a super project!"
"Flower Planters will become the first country to master controllable nuclear fusion technology!"
"Our country may start the project within a year..."
A series of reports are just "chasing rumors" and there is no substantial evidence, but there is a saying that goes well: there can be no smoke without smoke.
When many media reported it together, they must have heard something. Public opinion also started a heated discussion, and most of them were supportive.
Ordinary people just admire it, but the focus is still on the reaction of the academic community.
The academic community is not very detailed about this news. Many experts have come forward and said, "It is unlikely to start research on nuclear fusion in a short time."
"That is a huge project, with a scale of at least 100 billion."
"Even if new technology is adopted, its effectiveness is questionable. There is no room for error in nuclear fusion research. There should not be enough basic support yet."
"Maybe it's just a discussion..."
The last statement is recognized by many people.
There are many large engineering projects that have only entered the discussion stage without actually being implemented. The most obvious example is the Large Particle Collider.
In the past many years, there have been discussions about building the world's largest particle collider. The project has been demonstrated time and time again, but the result is that there is only discussion but no implementation.
Current nuclear fusion research is even less reliable than the Large Particle Collider.
It is definitely a larger project than the collider, and it is still a research project without sufficient foundation. From entering the demonstration stage, to officially starting the project, to finally achieving research results...
