From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 336 Mass Production of the Sixth Generation Fighter
The meeting was very detailed, but despite all the details,
The steps to implement it are also very difficult.

The various technologies inside are as difficult as climbing the sky.

As we all know, there are two main routes to realize nuclear fusion,
One is the inertial constraint, which is adopted by Ugly Country, which realized the first Q positive in human history.
Let controllable nuclear fusion change from forever 50 years to real 50 years.

Unlike the Ugly Kingdom, the international community and the Daxia Kingdom have all adopted magnetic restraint from the very beginning.

Magnetic confinement generally uses a tokamak or stellarator device,

A large mass of high-temperature plasma is bound in it by a powerful toroidal magnetic field, causing it to undergo nuclear fusion.

The use of nuclear fusion energy on the earth requires the ion temperature of the plasma to reach more than 1 million degrees Celsius under artificial control conditions.

What is the concept of 1 million degrees?The core temperature of the sun is about 1500 million to 2000 million degrees;

Tungsten, the most heat-resistant metal material on earth, will melt at more than 3000 degrees. 1 million degrees, which is 5 to 6 times higher than the core temperature of the sun.

Zhou Yi is very clear that at least on the earth, there is no material that can directly wrap the 1 million-degree high-temperature plasma.

But these problems are difficult for those scientists who used to,
Think of the method of confining high-temperature nuclear fusion fuel with a strong magnetic field.

Beginning in the 20s,
Scientists from Britain, the Ugly, the Soviet Union and other countries came forward one after another, and different technical routes such as fast pinching, magnetic mirrors, and stellarators ebbed and flowed.

Until the 1960s, the Tokamak plan finally proposed by the former Tsarist Russian scientists suddenly emerged.
The effect was astonishing, and the key research direction of the international fusion community turned to the tokamak.

This is the importance of tokmak.

CEPC is a super large ring magnetic field.

This is the reason why Zhou Yi strongly demanded the construction of CEPC at the beginning.

Not only will there be breakthroughs in high-energy physics, CEPC can also be used in other directions.

As for the money for the construction, Zhou Yi has already borne all of it.

Zhou Yi is discussing with Academician Feng and others in the office at this moment,

Academician Feng said:
"The plasma current of our new generation of 'artificial sun' (HL-2M) exceeded 100 million amperes (1 megaamperes) for the first time."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"I've heard that too, so go on."

Academician Feng said:
"This means that we can take the most important step on this basis and start the fire early.

To measure the level of nuclear fusion devices and nuclear fusion research, three parameters are mainly considered: fuel ion temperature, plasma density and energy confinement time, all of which are indispensable. "

Academician Li Jiangang, Dean of the Fat Boy National Science Center Energy Research Institute, said:

"'Lawson's Criterion' has pointed out three parameters that need to be improved to achieve nuclear fusion ignition, and achieving nuclear fusion ignition seems to have become an 'open book' exam.

Although the answer has been stated, the process of 'solving the problem' still needs to be explored continuously. "

Most of the talents of the Energy Research Institute of Fat Boy National Science Center have also moved to Chongqing Higher Academy with their families.
Some of the talents left behind are to deliver news, or to use the experimental equipment and instruments at Fat Boy's side to conduct experiments.

Although the various equipments of the Chongqing Higher Court are better than theirs, there are still resentments for using policies to poach them.

In particular, Hui Province has a lot of resentment.

The resentment of Shu Province is not so big, thinking of Shu Yu's family,
If you have Yuzhou, it is equal to me if you have Shuzhou. Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem like a loss.

Zhou Yi said:

"Equipment and so on can be moved here. How much did you pay for it at the beginning? Now I will give it to you at the original price.
CEPC will be repaired soon, and we strive to achieve Q positive within one year and successfully apply it within two years. "

Several people said one after another:

"it is good."

"Even if CEPC is not very helpful for controlled nuclear fusion, with your ready-made equipment, we can do it quickly.

Or let France sell us directly. The core technology of ITER is in the hands of France, and I can buy it from them. "

After Zhou Yi thought for a while, he continued.

In theory, CEPC can be used to engage in controllable nuclear fusion, but it is only limited to theory.

I really don't know if it will work or not.

So Zhou Yi prepared a multi-handed plan.

If it doesn't work for two years, then three or four years.

Controlled nuclear fusion must be brought out.

After the discussion, Zhou Yi was alone in the office,

Based on the income of the last one or two months,
Writes out many technical difficulties that need to be overcome in the current controllable nuclear fusion.

(1) Research on reactor-level magnets and related power supply and control technologies;
(2) Steady-state combustion plasma (generation, maintenance and control) technology,
That is, research on non-inductive current drive technology, stack-level high-power auxiliary heating technology, stack-level plasma diagnosis technology, plasma configuration control technology, feeding and ash removal technology;

(3) Initially carry out high thermal load material tests;
(4) Research on cladding technology, neutron energy moderation and energy extraction, neutron shielding and environmental protection technology;
(5) Low-activation structural material experiment (TBM), tritium breeder experiment research,

Experimental research on tritium regeneration and anti-tritium penetration, research on tritium recovery and tritium purification technology;
(6) Hot cell technology, research on remote control, operation, replacement and maintenance of core components.

The six problems are also the problems of ITER, and many of them have been solved with the advent of artificial intelligence technology.

Breakthroughs have been made in some respects,

For example, the first point, part of the second point, the sixth point,
For the remaining technologies, we have to think of other ways to break through.

Zhou Yi thought about it, and it was time for the [-] points to come in handy, but he didn't know how many of the remaining problems could be solved.

But the research on the residual problem in the second problem, feeding and ash removal technology, should not be costly.

Zhou Yi said silently to the system:

"System, how many points are needed to exchange for feeding and ash removal technology."

A cold voice sounded in Zhou Yi's ears.

"Feeding and ash removal technology requires 3000 points, please ask the host if you can redeem it."

Three thousand points.

Zhou Yi took a breath.

It is worthy of the controllable nuclear fusion necessary for level 1 civilization,
Such subdivision of technology requires [-] points, which is simply abnormal.

The former Tsarist Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashov roughly divided the civilization of the universe into seven levels,
These seven levels are also generally recognized in the academic circles.

The first level is the planetary civilization.

This kind of civilization means that the energy value that a certain civilization can use on the planet where it is located is about 10 watts.

Has the ability to use all the energies of the planet, including the energy that reaches the planet.

For the earth, it is the sun and all the energy the earth can generate.

Michio Kaku, a famous physicist in the island country, believes that a first-level civilization should be able to control the weather, even control natural disasters, and build cities in the ocean.

The second-level civilization is called a stellar civilization, which means that all the resources of the galaxy where the entire parent star is located can be used.

For example, the solar system where the earth is located.

The third-level civilization refers to the galaxy civilization. At this time, the resources of the entire galaxy can be utilized.

Like the whole galaxy.

The fourth-level civilization can also be called an interstellar civilization, which can shuttle between different galaxies and master all the energy and resources of this universe.

When it reaches the fifth level civilization, it is called a dimensional civilization, which can travel across dimensions.
Multidimensional space is no longer an obstacle to this civilization, and the survival of civilization has been completely guaranteed.

Exploring the rest of the universe may be their only goal.

The sixth-level cosmic civilization is to thoroughly grasp all the physical laws of the universe, and can apply them freely and flexibly.

It is even possible to break through the dimension and go to parallel worlds to explore other universes.

As for the seventh-level cosmic civilization, even the astronomer Nikolai Kardashov did not give a specific statement.

But the general statement is that there is a creator,
A Creator who masters the laws of any universe and formulates every law and operation rule of the universe.

Zhou Yi doesn't think so, it's enough to master the ultimate meaning of mathematics and comprehend all the laws and origins of mathematics.

Perhaps the creators mentioned by Newton, Einstein and Mr. Yang are essentially the operation of mathematical rules.

In different universes and different worlds, all subjects such as physics and chemistry will change, but only mathematics remains the same, and it is applicable to all universes and any parallel worlds.

Only by experiencing the ultimate meaning of mathematics,
Only then can we travel through countless parallel universes and speculate on all the possibilities of everything.

And only in this way can it adapt to and even formulate the rules of all universes and all dimensions, and use this as a weapon to attack civilizations below its own level.

Zhou Yi speculates that his own system has a high probability of being a product between the second-level civilization and the third-level civilization.
Up to level [-] civilization, no more than level [-] civilization.

After thinking wildly for a long time, Zhou Yi made up his mind and said:

"Use [-] points to exchange for feeding and ash removal technology."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for spending [-] points to obtain the electronic version of the paper on feeding and ash removal technology, which has been sent to the quantum notebook, please pay attention to check it."

The cold voice of the system sounded, and Zhou Yi quickly checked how many points he had left.

17034 points.

There are 1.7 million more.

Then Zhou Yi checked the acquired technology, and after he had enough, he could give a lecture.

The timing of the lecture is still unknown.

For the next half month, Zhou Yi has been researching this technology, and the number of papers alone is thousands of pages.
involving various disciplines,
If it weren't for the high level of Zhouyi's various basic subjects, it would be unimaginable how difficult it is to read.

In early November, Zhou Yi once again held a technical lecture on controllable nuclear fusion,
The last lecture only solved the first and second part of the problem, the sixth problem,

Today is to completely solve the second problem.

The required devices have also been sent to Chongqing Higher Court one after another, and several addresses have been selected for the required experimental environment.

Among them, there is an address that is relatively close to Chongqing High Court.

near the CEPC,
Particles can be brought to the speed of light with the help of CEPC.

Smaller particle accelerators are used in a variety of applications, including particle-targeted therapy for oncology, radioisotope production for medical diagnostics,

Ion implanters for making semiconductors and accelerator mass spectrometers for measuring rare isotopes such as radiocarbon.

With the CEPC experiment in the future, there will be a huge breakthrough in medicine,

Cancer may not be a terminal disease that kills humans.

Artificial intelligence controls particles for targeted therapy, which can completely eradicate cancer.

This lecture took a lot of time, without the foundation of previous technical accumulation,

Zhou Yi talked for a week, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm,

Every detail and every direction can be understood by scholars and professors engaged in this direction.

From the first flight to the present, Xuntian-[-], the test machine of the sixth-generation fighter jet,
The collection of various data has also been improved.

After the Zhouyi lecture was over, Academician Ma brought some academicians from the Air Force Institute to find Zhouyi.

"Professor Zhou, the data of the Xuntian-[-] test machine has been collected almost, and now we are improving it.

The improvement can be completed in about half a month to a month. Do we need to report the progress to the above? "

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:

"Let's report first. This result is not only needed by the higher authorities, but also by other alliance countries.
We have all obtained core chip technology, high-precision machine tool technology and heavy-duty helicopter engine technology, etc.

I'm afraid something will happen if I don't give it now. "

Academician Ma said:
"Well, I really didn't expect that there would be a day when they begged us."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:
"There will be times when they beg us in the future. Now it's just the beginning, and the gap will be completely widened with them in the future."

Academician Ma was very excited about the pie painted by Zhou Yi.

"Then I reported it truthfully?"

Academician Ma said excitedly.

Zhou Yi said:

"kindness."

After the data collection is completed, the areas that should be improved should be improved,

Strive to achieve the most perfect sixth-generation fighter,
In order to avoid various problems after mass production in the future, causing unnecessary losses.

Moreover, the cost of the sixth-generation fighter jet sky survey series is also very high, reaching 15 billion, or more than 2 million U.S. dollars.

And the J-1 is only 2-[-] million US dollars.

In contrast, the cost is high.

Further cost reduction is required.

The collected data can be used for research in these directions.

The Air Force Institute was faster than Zhou Yi thought, and processed all the data at the end of November.

The sixth-generation fighter Xuntian has been reduced from a high cost of 15 billion to 12 billion.

Saved [-] million costs.

In Zhouyi's office, Academician Ma has presented all the core information to Zhouyi.

Zhou Yi took two days to read it carefully, and after finding out that it was no longer possible to reduce costs, he decided to submit the final version to the country.

Inside the office, Zhou Yi said to Academician Ma:
"Submit this report to the higher-ups. No, the previous information is also submitted to the higher-ups, the 15 billion one. As for which item to report to foreign countries, let the higher-ups decide for themselves. We don't worry about it."

Academician Ma glanced at Zhouyi, is there still a choice?
But this is ZZ's problem, not theirs to worry about, said:
"Okay. At present, we have three production lines, one in Yugaoyuan, one in Shufei, one in Shenfei, and three lines. We can produce at full capacity."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, just report like this. If there is any news in the future, just let me know. I am busy with various things about controllable nuclear fusion."

"it is good."

After Academician Ma finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Originally, it was time for Zhou Yi to come to Beijing to report in person, but as the vice president and chief scientist, it was reasonable for Academician Ma to represent Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi saved a few days to engage in controllable nuclear fusion.
