The nuclear fusion project has entered the design stage.
When the project enters this stage, it can be regarded as having been 'project approved', and it can be put into manufacturing after the design is completed.
The full name of the project is "Design of Nuclear Fusion Reaction to Electricity Output Device".
The science and technology department, the National Foundation, and a dozen other large enterprises have raised 10 billion in funds for investment in design and experimental research and development.
This is a normal scientific research and engineering project.
Such a major project involves a large amount of funds and various factors, so it is definitely impossible to keep it completely confidential, even the early meetings can no longer be kept confidential.
So the project is conducted publicly.
The science and technology department and other relevant agencies also issued project announcements to formally announce the news.
The nuclear fusion project has received huge attention, and a large number of media reporters have come to interview it. The science and technology department has organized officials to hold press conferences.
The person in charge of speaking to the outside world is still the dispatched press officer.
Facing a crowd of domestic and foreign reporters, the press officer said forcefully, "The establishment of the nuclear fusion project was decided after many demonstration meetings. We believe that the basic technology has accumulated enough to support the completion of the transformation of controllable nuclear fusion into
The study of energy.”
"The goal of this project is to create a nuclear fusion device that can support power output applications."
The press officer's tone was very positive, showing his confidence in the nuclear fusion project.
Media reporters are not surprised. Now that the project has been established, the press officer who speaks to the outside world must express confidence.
They immediately started asking targeted questions.
Some reporters are more concerned about the project itself, such as whether it is confident, how many people will participate in the research, how much additional investment will be made in the future, where the project will be launched, etc.
Some reporters are more concerned about technology.
This is also the key content.
Controllable nuclear fusion is considered a century-old project and is considered the most important energy source in the future. Human beings always think that they are very close to controlling nuclear fusion.
This was the case fifty years ago.
This is also the case now.
But rational people know very well that the research on nuclear fusion involves all aspects of technology, and there are many difficulties that need to be overcome. The research itself is a huge project.
Not to mention now, if it can be realized within fifty years, it will be amazing.
Many top scientists believe that it would be extraordinary if humans could control nuclear fusion within the 21st century.
Most of the reporters who care about technology represent other countries. They asked whether there is annihilation field technology that supports confidence in nuclear fusion research.
This involves key technologies.
The press officer didn't know the specific situation. He glanced at the screen prompts and nodded, "Now that we have established a nuclear fusion research project, it is inseparable from the annihilation force field technology."
This answer surprised many media.
The news revealed in the official news is that among the control technologies for nuclear fusion, annihilation force field technology is one of them, and it is likely to be the core technology.
Another related question is, "Whether tokamak devices will be used in nuclear fusion control technology."
The press officer replied, "So far, the Tokamak device is the most likely design to control nuclear fusion. When we study nuclear fusion devices, the Tokamak device cannot be avoided."
"At the same time, we have been conducting research on various tokamas. For example, the artificial sun device of the Capital Research Institute is a tokamak control device."
"That is also the technical experience accumulated for our project..."
The press officer did not say whether a tokamak device would be used, but said that the research on the tokamak device had accumulated technical experience for current research.
This is normal talk.
Whether it is specific... you can guess.
Domestic and foreign reporters naturally feel that the tokamak device must be one of the core technologies for controlling nuclear fusion.
Of course, they couldn't think of other technologies.
Except for the questions about annihilation force fields and tokamak devices, other more in-depth technology-related questions remain unanswered.
There were some other questions at the press conference, which were also bypassed by the press officer's rhetoric, such as, "Will international cooperation be considered for the research?"
Some countries definitely want to get involved. Even if they cannot complete the overall research, it will be beneficial and harmless to them.
Also, "If the design is completed, will it start manufacturing immediately?"
The design and manufacturing of the device is a project process, but manufacturing will definitely require a huge amount of money, which cannot be supported by "tens of billions".
There are also some strange problems.
For example, "Has environmental and resource issues been considered in the research? Tritium is a radioactive element that is basically produced artificially."
The press officer's answer was, "It is meaningless to talk about environmental and resource issues before controlling nuclear fusion."
Some reporters ask questions deliberately to embarrass people, but there is a certain reason for asking questions.
If nuclear fusion adopts the conventional deuterium-tritium reaction, a large amount of tritium will definitely be used. As an isotope of hydrogen, tritium is extremely rare in nature and is a radioactive element. It is basically produced by humans.
.
The manufacturing method of tritium is also very special. It requires the use of neutrons to bombard lithium elements to produce tritium, which involves a resource issue.
Lithium mineral resources on the earth's surface are limited.
Consuming a large amount of lithium resources to produce tritium and then produce energy is a challenge to the limited lithium resources. Obviously, it cannot be said to be a clean energy, and it can even be classified as a "squandering of resources".
…
soon.
There were a lot of reports at home and abroad.
What is being talked about in China is the project itself, and everyone is looking forward to developing a nuclear fusion device. Some people also hope that with the nuclear fusion power station, it can replace thermal power generation and make domestic electricity energy cleaner.
At the same time, nuclear fusion research is also strategic.
With nuclear fusion providing electric energy support, and many transportation vehicles becoming electric-driven, a closed loop has been formed in terms of energy, and the country no longer has to rely on imported fossil energy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, many people are talking about Wang Hao.
The chief designer of the project is Wang Hao, and precisely because Wang Hao is in charge of the project, many people have begun to look forward to it.
This is Wang Hao's personal influence.
"Master Wang Hao can succeed in anything he does, and he has proven this in the past..."
"If the project does not have Wang Hao, I will definitely not be optimistic about it, but if Wang Hao serves as the chief designer, there will definitely be no problem."
"Master Wang Hao has been creating miracles, and I hope he can create miracles this time too."
"The legend is in charge of the project, so what are you worried about?"
"..."
At the same time, there are also many skeptical voices in public opinion.
Just like some reporters asked, even if the project enters the design stage, how long will it take to design and manufacture?
Design takes time.
Design review takes time.
Setting up a manufacturing project takes time.
Even after manufacturing is completed, it will take even more time to experiment, debug, and perfect the device.
This is true for many research engineering projects.
For example, the project establishment, design, and manufacturing of China's first aeroengine only took a few years, but subsequent debugging and improvement took nearly ten years before it could be mass-produced and assembled into fighter jets.
So how long does it take to complete the manufacturing and debugging of a nuclear fusion device?
The research and development of aircraft engines still took this long to imitate engines produced in other countries, even if there were precedents to follow.
Nuclear fusion devices, but completely autonomous exploration, will definitely take longer.
However, there is also a view that subsequent debugging and improvement may not necessarily take too long, because Wang Hao is responsible for the entire project. He has led the team to study superconducting power storage technology, superconducting batteries, and also designed Kongjian-1, Kongjian
-2 aircraft.
None of this took too long.
Foreign public opinion also has some favorable and unfavorable views. The difference is that most of them are unfavorable, and some conspiracy theories have emerged.
The conspiracy theory states that "nuclear fusion research is just a cover. Everyone knows that it is impossible. Their main purpose is to use nuclear fusion research as an excuse to mass-produce tritium and expand their nuclear arsenal."
The deuterium-tritium reaction itself is the principle behind the production of hydrogen bombs.
When a large amount of 'tritium' material is produced, a large number of hydrogen bombs can naturally be manufactured, and the nuclear arsenal can be expanded.
This is of course a rumor.
However, the rumors are indeed well-founded, and coupled with many international media reports, they even affected the international selling prices of raw materials for a while.
For example, the selling price of lithium ore has risen sharply.
In fact, top academic and political circles have clearly seen that the domestic nuclear fusion project has indeed been officially approved.
This is a normal transition from argument to design.
As for the expansion of the nuclear arsenal, it is indeed just a rumor, because even if it is to expand the nuclear arsenal, there is no need to use the nuclear fusion project as a cover. It can be expanded normally. The most other countries can do is condemn it and there is no way.
In addition, China has the largest lithium battery market and is also the main importer of lithium ore. It also has certain lithium ore resources.
If we just expand our nuclear arsenal, we can easily do it through our own resource extraction.
Top academic and political circles are concerned about what kind of technology will be used in China to complete the design of nuclear fusion devices.
"They said that they have enough technical foundations, and there must be something we don't know."
"But the overall design framework can still be guessed. The strong annihilation field generating device, coupled with the design of the tokamak, is the perfect container for nuclear fusion reactions."
"This solution is theoretically feasible, but it is too difficult to implement."
Some experts carefully analyzed, "Based on these two technologies, it can only be realized theoretically, but safety and stability cannot be guaranteed."
"The thin layer of the strong annihilation force field can annihilate energy, but there is an upper limit to the intensity it can carry. In addition, the device itself is used to generate electricity. If most of the energy is annihilated, it will naturally be impossible to generate electricity and maintain the equipment itself.
It’s already running great.”
"In addition, the strong annihilation force field generating device itself also has safety issues. The superimposed force field based on high-pressure mixed materials has its own safety hazards."
"There is another nuclear fusion reaction above..."
“Unthinkable!”
"Also, the tokamak device itself is a bit idealistic. If you want to completely bind ions, there are many difficulties that need to be overcome. Just one a-particle is a big problem."
"..."
After careful analysis by experts, some top decision-makers were relieved.
For example, the No. 1 decision-maker of Amrican.
The flower growers have nuclear fusion control technology and can also apply the technology to generate electricity, which is of great strategic significance.
This also means that flower growers will no longer have energy difficulties in the future.
At the same time, the No. 1 decision-maker couldn't help but think of the Groom Lake Project and the person in charge, Gamov Shapley, and his mood became very bad again.
Regardless of whether the florist's nuclear fusion project can be completed, it has at least entered the design stage. The technology to generate strong annihilation force fields is definitely a key factor in nuclear fusion design.
To put it simply, the opponent's strong annihilation field technology can be theoretically applied to the research of nuclear fusion, and their strong annihilation field technology...
not yet!
This is the most embarrassing part.
Even if the Groom Lake Project could produce a device with the same technology as the International Annihilation Theory Organization, the No. 1 decision-maker would not feel so embarrassed.
After all, it was still made.
There is nothing now, and more than $20 billion has been spent on the project.
The No. 1 decision-maker felt that he could no longer bear it. He also saw the news in public opinion, saying that nothing had been researched on the Groom Lake project, and that it might be a project used by decision-makers to 'cheat money'. Some people even
Walking on the streets holding signs to protest, they believe that policymakers are squandering taxpayers' money.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under this background, the No. 1 decision-maker asked Gamov Shapley to come over and take a look.
The two talked alone for ten minutes.
Gamov Shapley walked out of it, his expression full of depression and sadness, and anyone passing by could tell that he was a loser.
He was fired.
This is not unexpected.
In fact, before Gamov Shapley came to meet the No. 1 decision-maker, he knew that he would not be able to continue to be the person in charge, or even stay in the project.
Over the past few months, their research has stalled.
There has been little progress in the study of antigravity forms of materials.
So far, they have not been able to find a first-order iron-based superconducting material that can support the creation of an antigravity field with a strength exceeding 7%.
Gamov Shapley himself almost lost confidence.
When he walked out of the building, he was in a daze. Thinking back on his experiences over the past year or so, he felt like a clown.
At the beginning, he confidently proposed the direction and even used Wang Hao as his opponent.
result……
He's no different.
Gamov Shapley thought about it carefully and found that his failure was natural.
In the direction of the annihilation force field, Amrican's research has never been smooth.
From anti-gravity technology to strong annihilation field technology, major research always receives a lot of investment, but the person in charge has changed again and again.
The last one was Empoli-Cubo.
Empoli-Cubo served as the head of the International Annihilation Theory Organization, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being dismissed because the equipment he manufactured lagged far behind the flower growers.
"Now that I think about it, Cooper has been very successful!"
"The annihilation organization led by Kubo successfully created a strong annihilation force field. Even if the magnification is only 4.0, it is already amazing."
"At that time, I laughed at his failure, thinking that I would definitely be able to catch up in research, but until now, I haven't produced anything..."
"Perhaps Kubo will be reactivated?"
Gamov Shapley thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that the possibility was very high.
Previously Empoli-Cubo was considered a loser.
Now he has used his own failure to prove Empoli-Cubo's success... Of course, everything has nothing to do with him.
