From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 381 No such material

Normal-temperature superconductors have almost become the top stream in the world. About what is normal-temperature superconductors, what kind of changes it can bring to the world, how it can change human life, etc., there are almost any related popular science videos. With tens of millions of broadcasts, even some celebrities came to join in the heat.

However, the heat on the bright side is also in contrast to the surge of the undercurrent, and even this undercurrent is even more turbulent.

This has also made Huaguo's national security department busier recently.

Of course, in contrast, there is also the room temperature superconductor that Huaguo has begun to use on a large scale.

No less than ten large-scale production plants for CCD-I have been established long ago. Although the construction cost is very expensive, it is obviously not worth mentioning that it is more expensive than the significance of room temperature superconductors.

These situations have given the whole country a sense of prosperity.

And in this atmosphere, the Spring Festival of 2024 has finally arrived.

Lin Xiao has already returned home. After all, it is best to spend the Chinese New Year at home.

"Come on, cheers!"

There was a crisp sound of clinking glasses, and at the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Xiao picked up the goblet and drank the wine in it.

The wine was sent to him by Professor Purcell from France, traveled across the ocean, and was served on the New Year's Eve dinner table by him.

He raised his head and drank the Yinhong wine, and next to him, his father Lin Guowen sighed with emotion: "It's not bad, this wine is quite delicious, just like..."

Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "Like what?"

"It's like my daughter-in-law who can't see her shadow yet."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Yang Rong next to her beat her husband, and said angrily: "Why are you talking about this during the Chinese New Year? My son came back after a long time, and this year he is busy with work, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't find it."

"That's right, Mom still understands me." Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly and echoed.

"Well, who do I sympathize with if I don't understand my son?" Yang Rong nodded, but said in the next moment: "So when the Chinese New Year next year, you must bring one back for mom, right?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

This home can't wait!

The good haven is now leaking.

With a pained face on his face, he lowered his head and picked up the rice. Even the dishes were specially selected for the next meal, so he finished his meal with three or two strokes, then got up and said, "I'm done."

Then he put the bowl in the kitchen and ran to the balcony.

Standing on the balcony, although the weather is cold, but because the heating is turned on in the house, the body is already warm, and now it is refreshing to stand in a cold place.

Looking at the shining lights in the living rooms of those residential buildings outside also made him feel a little relieved.

If you wait a few years, after room-temperature superconductors spread all over the country, the development that will be brought to the overall economy by then, in terms of merits and virtues, will definitely be no less than the phrase "a great shelter for the poor and happy people in the world".

Suddenly, the phone rang, and after a glance, it was Ma Gaoliang calling.

He smiled, and after connecting the phone, he said, "Director Ma, happy new year."

"Happy New Year and Happy New Year."

Ma Gaoliang also replied with a smile.

Then the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, chatting about some household chores.

While chatting, they talked about room temperature superconductors.

"However, having said that, now I heard that foreign black markets offer 100 million US dollars to buy one of our room-temperature superconductors."

Hearing the news, Lin Xiao couldn't help being surprised and said, "Huh? Such a high price?"

"Yes." Ma Gaoliang said with a smile: "After all, we are still very strict on the outflow of room temperature superconductors. Basically, there are basically no other channels except for foreigners who come to receive paralysis treatment. Come here now. In other words, the artificial nerve is the only channel that may cause the outflow of CCD-I."

Lin Xiao couldn't help asking: "When the time comes, don't you have to worry about the power transmission cable being stolen?"

Ma Gaoliang smiled again: "There is no need to worry about this problem. We are all buried underground now. Basically, there is no big problem."

"And the only problem is if some places are dug during the construction, but we have already considered this problem and are already preparing for planning. If there are construction lines passing by at that time, it can be avoided."

"Well, that's good." Lin Xiao said, "It seems that there is basically nothing to worry about."

"Well... oh, yes, there is one more thing."

Suddenly, Ma Gaoliang said: "Do you know the Dongfang Chaohuan in our country?"

Lin Xiao said: "I know, it's the nuclear fusion device of the Plasma Institute in Feishi, what's wrong?"

Ma Gaoliang said: "They want to invite you to investigate."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Invite me? Visit?"

Ma Gaoliang said with a smile: "People are probably thinking that you can make a room-temperature superconductor, maybe you can also bring some advice to them?"

Lin Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "What advice can I give, this room temperature superconductor and nuclear fusion device are not a problem."

Ma Gaoliang said, "It's all about materials."

Lin Xiao said helplessly: "It's because it's all about materials, so it's not the same problem. There is a big gap between different materials. Otherwise, they would score high when they study how materials are organic and inorganic. Molecules, metallic materials, whatever."

Ma Gaoliang didn't know what to say, and finally said: "Hey, you just go and have a look. After all, it's somewhat embarrassing for people to invite you once. If you don't agree, they will be even more embarrassed."

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If they're embarrassed, they'll be embarrassed...Okay, now that you've said it all, I'll take the time to take a look after this year is over."

Ma Gaoliang smiled all of a sudden: "Okay."

Hearing that Lin Xiao was able to agree, Ma Gaoliang was of course happy. There was one thing he didn't tell Lin Xiao, that is, they almost all regarded Lin Xiao as "Miracle Man" now.

Who made Lin Xiao always able to create miracles?

Maybe let Lin Xiao take a look, and then what kind of nuclear fusion was first realized in Huaguo by accident?

Ma Gaoliang was looking forward to a certain day when Lin Xiao suddenly called him again, and then said to him: "Old Ma, I have good news for you, I have solved nuclear fusion again."

At that time, I am afraid that no matter how much Lin Xiao pretends to be aggressive with him, he will cooperate and be his own fan.

Lin Xiao didn't know what Ma Gaoliang was thinking there, but he felt a little overwhelmed by this matter, and finally said: "Okay, I won't say more, wait until the next year, let me have a good year first and then talk about it. "

"Okay, okay, have a good year, I won't bother you anymore."

Ma Gaoliang said with a smile, and then hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Lin Xiao shook his head.

Nuclear fusion, nuclear fusion.

He has always been a little pessimistic about nuclear fusion, at least for this era.

Nuclear fusion can be divided into three generations, and for human beings, the closest one is naturally the first generation of nuclear fusion.

The first generation of nuclear fusion refers to deuterium-tritium fusion, that is, hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium undergo fusion reactions.

Deuterium-tritium fusion needs to operate at least [-] million degrees, but now there is a problem, the problem of [-] million degrees is very high, what materials can withstand the high temperature of [-] million degrees?

Obviously, this possibility is basically impossible. However, for scientists, since they dare to propose nuclear fusion, there are naturally corresponding solutions. Therefore, two solutions that can be used to achieve nuclear fusion have emerged, namely inertial constraint and nuclear fusion. magnetic confinement.

Compared with the latter, inertial confinement nuclear fusion is more difficult to realize, which is mainly through putting a few milligrams of deuterium and tritium mixed gas or solid into a small ball with a diameter of about a few millimeters, and then uniformly When a laser beam or a particle beam is injected, the sphere absorbs energy and vaporizes outwards. Under its reaction, the inner layer of the sphere is squeezed inward, resulting in an explosion, and within a short picosecond, that is, one trillionth Within one second, the requirements of nuclear fusion are met and the fusion reaction is realized.

According to theoretical calculations, only three or four such explosions are needed per second, and the energy released is equivalent to a million-kilowatt-level power station.

It’s just that it’s relatively difficult to achieve stable inertial constraints, so those who study this stuff now are basically engaged in energy sources and weapons secretly, so basically they are researched by national laboratories of powerful countries.

Therefore, the only way to really study nuclear fusion is magnetic confinement fusion. Whether it is Huaguo's Dongfang Super Ring, or the Circulator 2M device, or the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Project, this special research nuclear fusion International organizations in many countries all use magnetic confinement tokamak devices.

Magnetic confinement fusion is to use a magnetic field to confine the plasma generated during the fusion process. After all, the plasma is charged and will be affected by the magnetic force. Therefore, by confining the charged plasma with a magnetic field, it is possible to avoid these temperatures up to [-] million The high-temperature plasma directly collides with the magnetic confinement device, causing the magnetic confinement device to be burned due to high temperature.

But at this time, another problem appeared, that is, deuterium-tritium fusion will produce neutrons, and neutrons are not controlled by electromagnetic fields, that is to say, these neutrons can easily cause damage to the device.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly asked in his mind: "How many truth points are needed for materials that can withstand the electromagnetic force of deuterium-tritium fusion neutrons?"

The system's voice sounded: "There is no such material."
