Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 529 Reverse Deciphering
After initially completing the research on the energy-releasing glass, Han Yuan immediately shifted his research attention from the energy stone to the energy-releasing material in the energy-releasing glass.

It's not that the energy stone is not important, but this energy-releasing material is more important to him at this stage.

This kind of material that can absorb most of the radiation energy has too many uses.

As mentioned before, the electromagnetic radiation used for fighter jets and space battleships, and the ability of radar stealth are only secondary values ​​for this energy-releasing material.

Its biggest and most important value is the utilization of various radiation and energy.

With this material, South Korea can redesign the DT controllable nuclear fusion reactor, and the existing magnetic fluid generator set and paramagnetic spin power generation equipment can be completely discarded.

In the face of this material that can absorb most of the radiant energy, the conversion efficiency of the first two generator sets is really too low.

More importantly, most of the previously wasted neutron radiation can be used.

You must know that for a controllable nuclear fusion device, its largest and most energy output is actually brought out by ultra-high temperature neutron radiation, accounting for more than 70.00%.

Although he has made some use of neutron radiation through a series of means, such as doping materials such as magnetic fluid to guide the high temperature of neutron radiation, but in fact this is only the worst secondary method.

In fact, he did not control the neutron radiation and allow it to participate in power generation. What he controlled was only the magnetic fluid material mixed with the ultra-high temperature neutron radiation, and some other charged particles.

The key to this is that neutrons are not charged and are not bound by magnetic fields.

We know that a magnetic field can control the movement of charges, and both positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons will become orderly under the constraints of the magnetic field.

But in addition to these electrons and nuclei, nuclear fusion will also release neutrons. Take the fusion of deuterium and tritium in DT controllable nuclear fusion to produce helium atoms and neutrons as an example. These neutrons are not charged and are not bound by magnetic fields.

However, the energy carried by these released neutrons exceeds 70.00% of the total energy released by deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion.

The inability to harvest and process the energy carried by neutrons means that much of the energy released by nuclear fusion is wasted.

In this way, even if the energy release rate of controlled nuclear fusion is very high, only one liter of deuterium in seawater can produce the energy that three hundred liters of gasoline can produce, but the utilization rate of the energy released by humans is far from high.

First of all, more than 70.00% of the energy is in unusable neutron radiation, and the remaining 30.00% will not reach [-]% utilization due to various reasons such as cooling, transfer, and leakage.

If the deuterium material in one liter of seawater can produce the energy that can only be produced by three hundred liters of gasoline, then the energy utilization efficiency of the current DT controllable nuclear fusion reactor is less than thirty liters, which is less than one tenth. one.

And maybe even lower.

This set of data was calculated by South Korean Won with a controllable nuclear fusion reactor built by himself.

The combination of magnetic fluid generator set + paramagnetic spin power generation equipment can also achieve [-]% efficiency in utilizing the energy released by fusion, not to mention the old-fashioned steam heat engine.

So don't look at the energy released by controllable nuclear fusion, but in fact most of the energy is wasted.

But now, with the energy-releasing material taken from the energy-releasing glass, and the neutron energy released by the nuclear fusion reactor can also be absorbed and utilized, it can be said that human civilization really does not lack energy.

According to the current energy-releasing material's ability to absorb various radiation energies, if it can be converted into electrical energy, the utilization efficiency of the energy released by fusion can reach about 60.00%.

Although the proportion is not very exaggerated, it is only a little more than half, but in fact, the effect of this number can make anyone numb.

To put it simply, if you used to pay 600 yuan a month for electricity, now you only need to pay 100 yuan.

The remaining 500 yuan is enough for you to buy dozens of catties of ribs.

Of course, I don't know whether the capital will lower the electricity price in accordance with the power generation ratio.

For South Korean won, the increase in power generation is much more fragrant than ribs.

If things like energy-release materials can be successfully deciphered reversely, then he will definitely apply them to the spacecraft that is still under construction.

For any means of transportation, the amount of energy it carries, its quality, and its utilization rate determine how far it can run.

A steam engine in the [-]th century might have to burn [-] tons of coal to travel [-] kilometers, but correspondingly, [-] tons of aviation fuel is enough for an airplane to fly around the earth.

Under the same circumstances, one hundred kilograms of deuterium-tritium fuel may only be enough to drive a spacecraft from the earth to the moon, but if energy-releasing materials are used as energy-absorbing devices, one hundred kilograms of fuel is enough for him to travel from the earth to the moon. Fly to Mars.

The conversion of the spaceflight distance of the space vehicle is not simply processed according to the numerical value.

Among them, there is a rather critical factor that affects the space travel distance of a space vehicle.

That is the outer space environment that is almost close to 'vacuum'.

In a vacuum, as long as the object starts to move and is not affected by other external forces during the movement, the object will keep running at a constant speed.

For a spacecraft in this environment, during a long voyage, it only needs to set the end point, and then accelerate the spacecraft to a required speed, and then stop the operation of most of the spacecraft engines.

In this way, the energy consumed in the process of sailing is relatively negligible.

Otherwise, given the hundreds of times difference between the distance between the Earth and the Moon and the distance between Earth and Fire, even if the utilization efficiency of the same fusion energy is increased by six times, it is impossible for the spacecraft to fly from the Earth to Mars.

"Master, the analysis and testing data of the cross-sectional structure of the energy-release material has come out, shall we pass it on now?"

In the laboratory, Xiao Ling's voice made Han Yuan's eyes light up, and he raised his head excitedly.

A pair of eyes that were bloodshot and red from staring at various energy spectra, detection data, and analysis data for too long were full of excitement.

"Pass it on now."

Han Yuan quickly said that he had been waiting for this data for a long time, to be precise, it was three days, seven hours and 42 minutes.

The reverse deciphering of material science is a very, very difficult thing. Even if he has something like an atomic composition analyzer in his hand, its detection data can only tell you what elements are in this material.

But it can't tell you what compounds these elemental components make up.

Just like you know what elements the human body is made of, but can you synthesize one out of these elements?

In other words, the common coconut milk sago must be known to most people.

The raw materials of this thing are very simple, sago, coconut flour, fresh milk, water, just these four things, but do you know how coconut milk sago is made?
Some people may say, wouldn't it be enough to cook these things together and stir them together?

But in fact, it’s not that simple. First of all, sago has to be overheated. (The process is too long, so I put it in the author’s words. If you are interested, you can go and have a look)
When drinking sago dew, dare you imagine that a bowl of sago dew has to be boiled four times so exaggerated?

A bowl of sago is so complicated, let alone those high-tech alloy materials.

Apart from other things, let's take the titanium alloy commonly used by South Korean Won as an example. The detailed manufacturing steps are as high as three digits.

From the extraction of titanium metal, to the manufacture of titanium sponge, to purification, to the addition of other materials, to promote the formation of the lattice structure of titanium alloys, and so on.

These things, basically, if you make a mistake, you will not be able to produce titanium alloys of the same quality.

So even if you can decipher something in reverse, you can't make it.

How else can we say that materials science is a bottomless abyss.

Even if it is Korean won, for reverse deciphering an alloy material that has never been seen before and does not know any production information, there is a feeling of "a dog holds a hedgehog, but there is no way to eat it".

Fortunately, the various industrial equipment in his hands are advanced enough to give him a lot of help.

Just like this cross-sectional structure analysis test data that he has been looking forward to for a long time.

This is generated by a device that analyzes the cross-section of the material. This device can piece together the molecular structure and atomic crystal of the material through various detection methods + continuous cutting of materials to obtain new cross-section information + intelligent combination.

Every compound, whether metallic or non-metallic, has its own unique molecular structure and crystal structure.

There are relatively few special materials without grain boundaries like monocrystalline silicon.

And really, as long as it is confirmed that there is no such special property as a grain boundary, it is quite easy to confirm, and it is also easier to reverse decipher.

After all, there are not many manufacturing methods for materials without grain boundaries, and it is more difficult to fuse with other materials, requiring relatively special technology.

On the contrary, All Won prefers to see the single crystal structure in the cross-sectional structure analysis and detection data of the energy-releasing material passed by Xiao Ling.

Unfortunately, reality often contradicts ideas.

In this cross-sectional structure analysis test data, Won did not find a single crystal structure.

[The hexagonal twisted structure with gallium atoms as the core, the maximum twist can reach 27 degrees, and the lowest is 9 degrees.】

[Regular tetrahedral space network structure with silicon atoms as the core, and there are extended covalent bonds in the middle of the connection between the silicon atom in the center and the silicon atom in the apex]

【.】

"Interesting, the data of this crystal structure is very similar to the structure of lanthanide gallium silicon thin film. It seems that my previous speculation is indeed correct. This energy release material definitely contains lanthanide gallium alloy, but it is not pure lanthanide Gallium alloys are most likely to use this alloy molecule as the skeleton to compound other molecular materials.”

"As for the specific compound, it needs to be determined through other means."

The analysis and testing data of the cross-sectional structure of the energy-releasing material was transmitted, and Han Yuan quickly scanned it, with interest in his eyes, and rubbed his chin and talked to himself.

These things, he can roughly understand the information of these data at a glance, and can also judge the compound corresponding to the crystal structure and molecular structure from this information.

Just like the second item in the proportion data, the Korean won can tell at a glance that this stuff refers to silica.

After all, his study has never stopped.

Now if all the knowledge and information in his brain can be exported, a top supercomputer may not be able to process it.

After a busy week, most of the molecular and crystal structures of the energy-releasing materials have been analyzed when Won resumed his [-]-hour working day.

And the remaining small part of the data, there are also small zeros for comparison.

At this point, the reverse deciphering of energy release materials is half completed, and it is the most difficult half technically.

Because as long as the molecular structure, compound structure, and molecular form of this material are determined, the rest is to conduct a large number of experiments to synthesize this material.

Compared with the previous step that requires cutting-edge equipment such as a cross-sectional structure analysis detector to analyze the composition, it is technically no difficulty to synthesize a given material through a large number of experiments.

But correspondingly, the time it needs is calculated in years.

This process is like developing a new material. It takes a lot of time to carry out various experiments and use various means to fuse these different materials together to form the required molecular structure.

Simply put, all new materials are obtained by fusing different elements and substances, and changing the original arrangement structure.

To find out a new material, the easiest way is to use various synthetic methods, such as heat and heat fusion method, high and low temperature mixing method, cold polythermal pressing method and other methods to conduct a large number of experiments.

Anyway, there is always one way to achieve the goal. As for how many experiments will be carried out and how much time will be wasted, no one knows.

Of course, in this process, there are shortcuts and methods that are tricky, but the shortcuts and methods come from the various experiences accumulated in your previous experiments.

For example, if you want to synthesize an alloy with a strength of 200Mpa, the specified materials are copper, iron, and nickel.

Then through various synthesis methods, you will accumulate a large amount of alloy data, and these alloy data can play an auxiliary role when you synthesize an alloy with similar conditions next time.

It can prevent you from repeating many experiments that do not meet the requirements, and it can also guide you in that direction.

Therefore, there is really only one way for the subject of materials, and that is to do experiments honestly and accumulate experience. Once this thing takes the lead, it will be difficult for latecomers to catch up unless they spend more energy, manpower and material resources.

Of course, except for the Korean won hanging on the wall.

For him, the basic material application knowledge information and intermediate material knowledge information in his mind provide him with more help than this civilization. He can easily find the various conditions needed to synthesize the required materials.
