Chapter 399 Controlled Nuclear Fusion

Pingyang City, nursing home community.

In order to prepare for this batch of light industrial products, Jingyun Group has almost dealt with the manufacturers all over the country, which has once again expanded the influence of Jingyun Group to a certain extent.

Jingyun Battery Factory officially changed its name to Jingyun Auto Parts Company earlier this year. Zhao Wenmu did not hide his true intentions:

"We will make the most advanced car in the future!"

"Every step we take now is to prepare for this goal!"

Starting from the supporting industrial chain, and gradually marching towards the downstream automobile manufacturing, Jingyun Automobile is to be a Di and a La in the parallel world.

The same development path, different final results.

Jingyun Automobile will not be willing to be inferior to others, and must be the leader of the whole industry!

All the work was carried out in an orderly manner. Zhao Wenmu went to the Badain Jaran Desert in his busy schedule, watched the Ecosphere No. 3 under construction, and then went to the Huaguo Institute of Controllable Nuclear Fusion.

Since meeting Zhuge Xian many years ago, Zhao Wenmu deliberately kept in touch with him.

The two met occasionally to discuss the development and future prospects of controlled nuclear fusion.

Of course, it's all non-confidential content.

He went to the institute this time at the invitation of Zhuge Xian.

This was somewhat beyond Zhao Wenmu's expectation, but he still came as soon as he arranged the work.

"Xiao Zhao, do you know what is the biggest difficulty of controlled nuclear fusion?"

The two met in a small teahouse. Zhuge Xian looked a little anxious and excited, but he still spoke in a calm and natural manner.

"Haha, you are an expert, so I have a rough idea. The main reason is that the fusion reaction must be triggered in an ultra-high temperature and high pressure environment, but such an environment is difficult to maintain, right?"

A hydrogen bomb must be ignited with an atomic bomb as a fuze.

The temperature at the center of the sun exceeds 1000 million degrees, and the pressure is tens of billions of times that of the earth's surface.

By the same token, the artificial sun, the so-called controllable nuclear fusion, also requires a high temperature and high pressure environment.

Humans have no way to achieve such extremely high pressure, so they had to give up high pressure and focus on high temperature.

Common controllable nuclear fusion devices require a temperature of almost hundreds of millions of degrees or even higher.

Zhuge Xian once said that the most high-temperature-resistant alloy that humans can manufacture currently has a melting point of only 4000 degrees Celsius. Compared with the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, it is not even a fraction of a fraction.

"Yes, such an environment is difficult to artificially create. The current mainstream idea is to use a strong magnetic field to confine the fusion material to a small area, causing it to undergo a fusion reaction in this area, and then use the high temperature generated by the fusion reaction to stimulate further Reaction."

"In this way, the energy output is greater than the input, and the output is continuously stable."

Zhao Wenmu nodded slightly. These contents are basically public, and it is not difficult to obtain them after a little attention.

"In addition to magnetic confinement, there are two methods of inertial laser confinement and gravitational confinement. Among them, laser confinement requires a super-powerful laser generator, and gravitational confinement uses super-strong gravitational force to attract fusion materials to the middle to make it happen spontaneously. Fusion reaction."

Zhao Wenmu was dumbfounded.

Isn’t the so-called gravitational constraint the sun?

The mass of the sun itself is extremely large, and the internal pressure is also very large.It binds the nuclear fuel together through its own huge gravitational force, and in the environment of extreme high temperature and high pressure, the nuclear fuel naturally undergoes fusion reaction.

But how can human beings have the ability to create such a massive object?

What's more, the nature of gravity has not yet been clarified, and the gravity machine is even more out of the question.

Gravitational confinement fusion is a true miracle of nature.

"About gravitational fusion, I've had some thoughts lately."

Zhuge Xian said slowly after thinking for a moment.

Zhao Wenmu raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Zhuge Xian heaved a long sigh.

"Just some ideas, the nature of gravity is not yet settled physically, and I have no idea about it. Maybe some experiments on controlled fusion will help understand it."

He rubbed his temples and said:

"I have been focusing on magnetic confinement these years, but sometimes I have a faint doubt, does this road really work?"

Zhao Wenmu couldn't answer this question.

But Zhao Wenmu is very clear that even after 30 years, the so-called tokamak device has not actually made substantial progress, and controllable nuclear fusion is still far away.

"Gravity constraints may not be unrealizable as imagined. I have conceived some experiments and may be able to verify some conclusions. However, the cost of these experiments is too high to be carried out at all."

Zhuge Xian said a little decadently.

Zhao Wenmu's eyes lit up.

Can a problem that can be solved with money be called a problem?
"How much? Maybe I can help."

Zhao Wenmu said very sincerely.

Zhuge Xian shook his head with a wry smile.

"Too much."

"Tell me, maybe I really have it?"

Zhao Wenmu smiled slyly.

"At least $5000 million for a single experiment."

Before Zhao Wenmu heaved a sigh of relief, Zhuge Xian went on to say:

"I'm not sure how many times it will take, but for the time being, it will take at least six times."

Six experiments, each worth 5000 million US dollars, totaling [-] million US dollars.

The reason why Zhugexian uses US dollars to denominate is because many experimental materials need to be imported from abroad, and the cost is very high.

Regarding this number, Zhuge Xian did not have any expectations at all.

You must know that the annual scientific research funding of their institute is only 1000 million yuan.

Not to mention six experimental funds, even one is impossible!
Although Zhao Wenmu was rich, it was impossible for him to have so much money.And even if he has so much money, why should he be taken advantage of?
"What is the estimated success rate of the experiment?"

Zhao Wenmu asked with a normal expression.

"No more than a tenth."

Zhuge Xian said this number with difficulty.

After a few seconds, he added another sentence:
"Maybe one percent."

Zhao Wenmu: …

"no problem!"

"You need to make a list of relevant materials for me, and I will ask someone to buy them abroad. Let's do six experiments first, and continue to do it if necessary!"

Zhao Wenmu said with a smile.

Isn’t it normal to throw away tens or tens of billions of dollars for the controllable nuclear fusion technology that is related to the future of all mankind?

Perhaps this technology has not been able to break through in the parallel world because Zhuge Xian's experiment could not be carried out due to lack of funds?

Dreams are always there.

It's worth it to pay for your dreams.

Zhuge Xian on the opposite side was stunned, already petrified.

Zhao Wenmu stood up, and Zhuge Xian also stood up subconsciously.

Zhao Wenmu stretched out his right hand, Zhuge Xian stretched out his left hand subconsciously.

Zhao Wenmu didn't care, he grabbed Zhuge Xian's hand and said with a smile:

"I'll leave the future to you!"

Controlled nuclear fusion technology, just like this, took the most critical step in this small teahouse.

History is the inevitability of chance.
