Chapter 497: This time its really a satellite weapon!
The disclosure of the results of the controlled nuclear fusion experiment has aroused continued heated public opinion and academic enthusiasm.
This is because the impact of controlling nuclear fusion is too great.
Controlling nuclear fusion is considered the most promising technology and the main source of human energy in the future, mainly because its advantages are so great.
For example, the raw materials required for nuclear fusion are very abundant on the earth, especially deuterium, which can be said to be inexhaustible.
For example, nuclear fusion power generation is energy-intensive power generation, and the power generation efficiency will be very high, which can minimize the need for land use.
For example, during the reaction process of nuclear fusion, no greenhouse gases or harmful substances are produced.
In addition, nuclear fusion has safety advantages. Unlike atomic fission, fusion does not produce any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste.
etc.
Such efficient, reliable and clean energy will naturally receive widespread attention and will certainly play a huge role in the development of human science and technology.
Now the Nuclear Fusion Engineering Corporation has announced that it has achieved the control of nuclear fusion, and it is the control of deuterium-deuterium fusion, which has higher environmental requirements. It can definitely be described in four words--
Incredible!
The international academic field is already abuzz.
Nuclear fusion is not a new field. There are many scholars involved in the research. Many scholars discuss it from a technical perspective, and their opinions mainly revolve around the "difficulty of controlling deuterium-deuterium fusion."
Deuterium-tritium fusion is relatively a lower level, but controlling deuterium-tritium fusion is already very difficult.
There are two aspects that are most restrictive. One is the material problem, and the other is the control of the reaction speed. The latter is relatively easy. As long as the internal temperature is controlled, the reaction speed can be effectively controlled.
The former is the biggest difficulty.
In terms of the development of human science and technology, the development of materials plays a decisive role. Research in many technical directions is fundamentally based on different material properties.
If there are materials that can withstand high temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius, naturally all problems can be easily solved, and there is no need to study any control technology at all.
That's obviously impossible.
Therefore, there are various designs in the research of nuclear fusion control, and the tokamak device is just one of them, and it is considered the "most feasible".
The problem with the tokamak device is that it is too idealistic. As long as a small problem occurs in one link of the device, it will affect the operation of the entire device and turn into a big problem.
In addition, the Tomacak device does not solve all problems.
For example, a particle.
The a particle is helium-4 composed of two neutrons and two protons. It is the product of light nuclear fusion. Its speed can reach 20,000 kilometers per second and it has a positive charge.
When a particles run in the medium and lose energy rapidly, they cannot penetrate very far. A piece of tissue paper can directly block them, and they do not pose a danger outside the living body.
But the key to the problem is that a particles are the product of light nuclear fusion. Whether it is deuterium-deuterium fusion or deuterium-tritium fusion, a particles will continue to be produced. A particles become 'impurities' that affect the fusion reaction. When accumulated in large quantities, it will
Directly affects the progress of the reaction.
The tokamak device cannot solve the a-particle problem. In other words, even if a perfect tokamak device is manufactured, the internal reaction cannot continue.
There are many similar questions.
The result information now disclosed shows that "the response lasted for more than a month," which means that all related problems have been solved.
This really shocked the academic community.
"How are these problems solved? It's impossible to solve so many unrelated problems just by using annihilation field technology, right?"
"Did they make a completely new design?"
"How to design?"
"I really want to know how they solve these problems..."
"..."
The international academic community is discussing related matters. Not only those scientists who study nuclear fusion, but also scholars in other fields can't help but participate in the discussion.
But no matter what, most people believe public information.
One is because such a major engineering experiment is successful and the possibility of public fraud is too low. The other is because Wang Hao participated and added the new scientific technology of the annihilation force field.
"Globe" reported on the results of controlling nuclear fusion and believed that 'human science and technology is about to make revolutionary progress and will quickly affect all aspects of life.'
There were many emerging technologies and emerging materials before, including advanced materials, superconducting technology, etc., but most of them have not been popularized in the civilian field.
The most common type of lithium in the civilian field is first-order lithium, which is lithium batteries made of magnetized lithium materials.
In the domestic market, high-end lithium battery cars are enjoying hot sales, and they have also expanded into other fields, including electric bicycles, high-end electric motorcycles, etc.
In the international market, reaction was relatively delayed.
However, the number of upgraded lithium batteries delivered to foreign countries by domestic car companies is also very considerable, and they have quickly occupied part of the high-end market.
This is mainly due to cost.
The performance of lithium batteries made of magnetized lithium materials can be easily doubled, but the cost has more than doubled, making the manufactured products somewhat expensive.
The cost of electricity is also an issue.
With the large-scale popularization of electric vehicles, domestic electricity prices have risen twice in a row, and the cost of using charging facilities has also continued to increase.
In some traditional developed countries, the cost of electricity is more expensive than oil. Coupled with the high cost of advanced lithium batteries themselves, sales to ordinary people will naturally be lower.
The high-end field is different.
For example, some well-known international car companies specialize in manufacturing fast high-end sports cars. Using upgraded lithium batteries can increase the output power, make the sports cars accelerate faster, and more than double the battery life.
Naturally, it is favored by famous car brands.
"Globe" used the example of "upgraded lithium batteries" and analyzed that "technological upgrading has begun." "After realizing the control of nuclear fusion technology, efficient and stable nuclear fusion power generation facilities will bring continuous benefits to mankind."

…
Many people are paying attention to the International Energy Agency.
The International Energy Agency is an international energy-related organization. They have a branch called the Nuclear Fusion Center, which holds a large-scale meeting of the Fusion Project Coordination Committee every year.
This year's conference was held in the country's capital.
The content of the meeting was originally highly anticipated, because the Nuclear Fusion Center will assign work tasks and coordinate experimental cooperation among various member institutions, but the embarrassing thing is that the flower grower's nuclear fusion project has made great progress.
In this context, the so-called ‘fusion project coordination’ becomes meaningless.
However, there are still many people who are looking forward to the conference, because there will be a fusion physics research team from the Academy of Flora Science and Technology participating.
The leader of the fusion physics research team, named Zhang Lin, is an expert in nuclear fusion physics and has participated in the artificial sun project.
However, Zhang Lin did not participate in the nuclear fusion project. He only attended the meeting as a representative, and his main focus was still two words--
publicity!
Before the meeting started, many scholars asked Zhang Lin to learn about the situation. He also talked about some technical issues, such as, "What we achieve is deuterium-deuterium fusion control, relying on the most advanced annihilation force field technology combined with a tokamak device.
A new design..."
"It has not yet reached the application stage, and there are many problems that need to be solved."
"Maybe in the future, when the technology matures."
"Join the research? The flower grower has always welcomed all kinds of talents, but whether you can join the project... I can't decide..."
Zhang Lin only knew so much.
The purpose of his team coming here is to carry out large-scale publicity and establish a high-end technology image for flower growers, and hopes to attract more high-end talents to work in flower growers in the future.
When the publicity purpose is achieved, the set work goal is completed.
As for the meeting…
Not important at all!
…
The impact of nuclear fusion engineering research results goes far beyond the public opinion and academic level. Countless satellites in the world have been aimed at the central device of the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base.
To this end, the military has established a solid defense system around the perimeter.
For example, a military airport has been built, plus various types of air defense weapons, to establish a complete air defense system.
For example, a large number of troops are stationed, and every person and vehicle is inspected in detail to ensure maximum safety.
Even a large missile formation was sent.
The flower grower expressed an attitude towards the defense of the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base, "As long as the central device suffers external damage, it means the beginning of war."
"The scale of war will not be limited by the use of nuclear weapons."
This is a tough attitude towards the outside world.
In this environment, the nuclear fusion engineering project team and the F-ray experiment team are preparing to conduct a very important experiment--
F-ray release experiment at the nuclear fusion center facility.
"Nuclear fusion is more than just a technology." The central device does indeed comply with this sentence. The internal and external structure of the central device is consistent with the F-ray generating device, so it can be used to experiment with releasing F-rays in the outer layer.
"Be sure to ensure safety!"
"The stability of the device is the most important, but we must not cause a major accident due to the release of F-rays..."
“Safety must be taken seriously and taken seriously again!”
Faced with such a major experiment, the leadership team came to the scene, and the person who came was one of the decision-makers. He continued to emphasize safety issues after his arrival.
This is an experiment that makes people sweat.
The nuclear fusion center device has always been very stable, but if an opening is made in the peripheral magnetic field device, it will be a challenge to the stability of the internal reaction.
Wang Hao reassured decision-makers, "Theoretically, there is no problem."
"We have conducted many F-ray generation experiments. The internal magnetic field will not be affected during the release process. It will only increase pressure at the opening, but the pressure is controllable."
"In the early stages of device design, we have already considered the issue of F-rays and designed two layers of magnetic fields, one for emergency protection and one for peripheral magnetic fields."
"The two work together."
"F-rays are only controlled by the thin layer of the strong annihilation force field, and the entire thin layer will not be affected."
Next, Wang Hao talked about the experimental goals. He said with great expectation, "If we can successfully release f-rays, we have two pieces of data that must be detected."
"One is intensity."
"One is duration."
"Theoretically, the F-rays released will last for at least five seconds, which means that it may become a powerful weapon against satellites."
"Intensity is also important."
"A stronger annihilation force field can help us understand the upgraded elements, the changes in elements under a strong annihilation force field...and so on..."
Wang Hao is looking forward to the experiment very much.
Then……
Before the experiment began, he was forcibly moved twenty kilometers away by the decision-maker, while the decision-maker himself continued to stay on the front line to watch the experiment.
This made him feel very depressed.
The decision-maker's words still lingered in my ears, "You are much more important than us. If something goes wrong with me, there are many people behind me who can do my job."
"You are different."
"No one can replace you, so your safety is the most important thing, not even the slightest risk..."
Wang Hao felt very depressed.
He had been looking forward to the experiment for a long time, but as a result, he, the person in charge of the experiment, was kicked out and had to be replaced by Xiang Qiansheng as the conductor of the experiment.
The good news is, there is someone with him.
It's Tang Jianjun.
Tang Jianjun also felt very depressed, but thinking about being "protected" with Wang Hao, he was a little excited and had the urge to cry.
He was finally taken seriously!
Therefore, Tang Jianjun's expression was one of depression and joy. Occasionally, he would feel disappointed when he heard the news from the other side of the communication line, and occasionally he would burst out laughing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Hao felt a little cautious when staying with him.
The experimental time was chosen on a cloudy night, without any light, and the surroundings were completely dark.
Under the command of Xiang Qiansheng, the F-ray release experiment went smoothly.
People around saw a black line diagonally above the equipment that went straight to the sky. Because the sky was pitch black, the black line could no longer be seen once it reached the sky.
Black line, lasts a long time.
Many people felt that they had been watching for a long time, but Wang Hao knew the data immediately, "Duration, 14.18 seconds."
Wang Hao shouted into the communication tool, "How much? Say it again!"
"14.18 seconds."
"——!!"
Wang Hao put down the communication tool, looked at each other with Tang Jianjun, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a satellite weapon this time!"
Tang Jianjun pursed his lips and nodded, feeling very excited.
In the past, F-rays were not very practical as satellite weapons because it was difficult to hit satellites in space at once. The reason was that the satellites were too fast.
Even if the satellite's trajectory is accurately controlled, the electronic system still needs reaction time. Even if the deviation is 0.001 seconds, the deviation will become very large.
Now the problem is solved.
F-rays can last for more than ten seconds and can be released to the front of the satellite's trajectory in advance, just waiting for the satellite to 'collide' with it.
Hit, becomes simple.
Tang Jianjun suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Academician Wang, I remember hearing you once say that F-rays can continue forever. So what kind of energy intensity can support F-rays continuing forever?"
"This can only be seen through experiments."
Wang Haodao, "If the internal energy intensity supports the release of F-rays without affecting the support of the annihilation force field, it can continue forever."
"Based on the data, I personally estimate that if F-rays last for more than thirty seconds, there is a high probability that they can last forever."
"If we use granular materials made of beta elements and have a built-in first-order deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction... we can probably achieve it, right?"
