The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chang Xiangjun's team is currently making quite good research progress.

They have now initially solved the problem of RF wave coupling.

Radio frequency is the construction of high-frequency alternating current electromagnetic waves. Alternating current that changes less than 1000 times per second is called low-frequency current, and alternating current that changes more than 1 times per second is called high-frequency current.

Radio frequency is a high-frequency electric current.

In electronics theory, when current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is formed around the conductor. When alternating current flows through a conductor, a large electromagnetic field is formed around the conductor, which is called an electromagnetic wave.

When the frequency of electromagnetic waves is higher than 100KHZ, electromagnetic waves can propagate in the air.

The so-called RF coupling can be understood as the distribution of power...

Zhang Zhipeng has a clear understanding of all the research and development results of Chang Xiangjun's team, and he has great respect for Chang Xiangjun.

At present, the main problem facing Chang Xiangjun's team is that the inner wall of the tokamak device will be hit by high-temperature and high-speed neutron flow.

These high-speed neutrons have no electrical charge.

They are also difficult to confine in high-temperature, high-pressure magnetic field environments.

These neutrons hit the inner wall of the device violently and will damage the inner wall in a short time.

In this case, if you want to continue the experiment, you must replace the inner wall of the device.

This is also the main reason why controlled nuclear fusion experiments are difficult to sustain.

To solve this problem, we need to control the chaotic neutrons, and then solve the problem of the material of the inner wall of the manufacturing device.

Chang Xiangjun welcomed Zhang Zhipeng and hoped that Zhang Zhipeng could sponsor his experiment.

He actually didn't think that Zhang Zhipeng could provide him with any help in professional research.

However, after an in-depth conversation with Zhang Zhipeng, he changed his mind.

He was shocked to find that Zhang Zhipeng had a deep understanding of controlled nuclear fusion and his knowledge in this area was quite profound.

Zhang Zhipeng obviously has his own views on controlled nuclear fusion.

Chang Xiangjun said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, your knowledge in controlled nuclear fusion is quite profound."

“I never expected this.”

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "You're welcome. I only have a limited understanding of it."

"Teacher Chang, how long do you think our controlled nuclear fusion needs to run continuously before it has practical application value?"

Chang Xiangjun hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say now."

"If we can keep the reactor running stably and continuously, and if the electricity it generates can be used for both its own power supply and its own output, then it will be considered a success."

“But we are still a long way from that stage.”

Zhang Zhipeng asked with a smile: "Is it still an insurmountable problem to restrain the large number of high-speed neutrons that randomly hit the inner wall?"

Chang Xiangjun nodded and said, "That's true."

"Because there is no way to solve this problem for the time being, we are temporarily unable to keep the tokamak device running for a longer period of time."

"As long as the problem of disordered neutron collisions is solved, many problems will be solved."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Next, I would like to study with your team for a while. Is that okay with you?"

Chang Xiangjun smiled and said, "Welcome Comrade Zhipeng to guide our work."

"I have a feeling you might be able to surprise us."

In the following period of time, Zhang Zhipeng began to immerse himself in Chang Xiangjun's laboratory and started to work and study with them.

Of course, Zhang Zhipeng also needs to make full use of the reverse engineering system to quickly improve his capabilities in controlled nuclear fusion.

Just like that, a month passed quickly.

During this period, Zhang Zhipeng also greatly improved his research level in thyristor nuclear fusion.

During this period, he also provided some advice to Chang Xiangjun.

At the same time, Zhang Zhipeng also made full use of his abilities in intelligent control to solve some problems.

With Zhang Zhipeng around, he can also allocate a large amount of resources over.

He can allocate the best synthetic materials and the most sophisticated equipment in the world.

A month later, Zhang Zhipeng helped Chang Xiangjun's team significantly improve and upgrade their tokamak device.

Especially in the aspect of disordered neutron confinement, Zhang Zhipeng's improvement plan is even more effective.

Time flies, and soon it was early October 2003.

On this day, the tokamak device of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was tested again.

This trial run can be said to have significantly improved the original world record.

This run lasted a full 3500 seconds.

Moreover, the positive output of electrical energy is also achieved!

About 1.3 kWh of electricity was output positively!
This can be considered a huge success.

Because, before this, no scientific research team in the world had been able to achieve such great results.

3500 seconds, which is almost less than an hour.

An output of 1.3 kWh is equivalent to a small power station.

This amount of electricity can almost meet the daily electricity needs of more than 2 households.

If this energy is used to drive a large space battleship, it should be enough.

The question now is: if the nuclear fusion reactor is installed on the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier, its cooling effect must be guaranteed.

Because, after all, whether it is nuclear fusion or nuclear fission power generation, it is basically the model of generating electricity by boiling water.

A large amount of energy released by nuclear fusion is actually carried away by the released neutrons.

In order to achieve energy conversion, it is necessary to restrain the running neutrons and convert their energy into heat energy, making the hot water boil and drive the steam turbine to generate electricity.

When on the ground, a water cooling device can be built for cooling.

However, if it is in the air, the water cooling mode may not be enough because there is no large amount of water in the air.

However, even if water cooling mode cannot be used, other modes such as air cooling can be used, right?
For the first time in history, a large amount of positive electrical energy output was achieved, and Chang Xiangjun's team cheered.

Everyone knows that this is a breakthrough that is enough to change the world's energy landscape!
This indicates that the nuclear fusion power generation model can now be put into commercial use.

Chang Xiangjun also knew that without Zhang Zhipeng, he would never have been able to do this.

He said to Zhang Zhipeng gratefully: "Comrade Zhipeng, thank you! Without your help, we would not have achieved such a great success!"

"When I submit my results, I will list you and me as the co-hosts of the results. Is that okay with you?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and patted Chang Xiangjun on the shoulder and said, "Goodbye, you are still the host."

"I just helped a little."

"I just hope that the Luanniao space carrier can be equipped with a controlled nuclear fusion reactor as soon as possible."

"Let's keep working on it together."

Zhang Zhipeng is also very motivated at this moment.

Because he has seen the dawn of victory.

As long as a controlled nuclear fusion reactor can be realized, the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier and the Xuannv aerospace fighter may be realized soon.

This will be a great initiative!

When the Luanniao aerospace aircraft carrier flies into the universe, I believe that all those guys who were originally against the Dragon Kingdom will probably crawl to the ground, right?
Chang Xiangjun hesitated for a moment. He knew that he couldn't do as Zhang Zhipeng said.

To do that is to be a bad person!
If you don't know how to behave, it will be difficult for you to deal with it in the future, right?
"Comrade Zhipeng, please don't refuse. When I report the results to my superiors, I will follow the standards of this person."

"You have played a huge role in the success of our controlled nuclear fusion." Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Then let's do it according to your idea."

Chang Xiangjun asked again: "Comrade Zhipeng, do you want to write a paper?"

"Such a huge achievement would be very helpful in the award evaluation if a paper is written."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Go ahead and write."

"Teacher Chang, based on this achievement, I dare say that you have a chance to win the Zhipeng Prize in Physics."

"Come on!"

Chang Xiangjun was very excited when he heard this.

Isn't he looking forward to winning this award?

Winning the Zhipeng Physics Prize means that his name will be remembered forever.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhipeng!"

"Then, we will continue to work hard and cooperate with you to develop a controllable nuclear fusion reactor for use on the aerospace carrier."

Just like that, Chang Xiangjun reported his achievements.

His research is directly managed by the National Science and Technology Commission.

It is a major research topic.

His achievement report was submitted directly to the Science and Technology Commission.

After the person in charge of the management of scientific research achievement applications in the Science and Technology Commission received this achievement application, he was immediately ecstatic after reading it.

Because this achievement is so significant.

He did not dare to delay and hurried to report to Guo Zaijie.

Guo Zaijie was also very happy after reading this project report.

"Wow! Controlled nuclear fusion power generation has actually been successful?"

"Doesn't this mean that the era of unlimited energy is coming?"

"Comrade Zhipeng is truly amazing!"

"It turns out that the report Chang Xiangjun's team made stated that it would be impossible to achieve commercial controlled nuclear fusion within at least 30 years!"

"Comrade Zhipeng went to help, and the results came out so quickly."

Guo Zaijie was very happy.

He hurried to see the senior leader to report his work.

When Guo Zaijie told the senior leader, the leader laughed and said, "This is really great news!"

"Didn't Comrade Zhipeng say before that he wanted to build an aerospace aircraft carrier?"

"The biggest technical difficulty for an aerospace aircraft carrier is actually just one: whether a controllable nuclear fusion reactor can be developed."

"Now that controlled nuclear fusion has basically succeeded, doesn't that mean that the aerospace aircraft carrier will also be accelerated?"

Guo Zaijie smiled and said, "The leader just mentioned this and I just remembered this."

"Leader, then, what should we do now?"

“Should we announce this major achievement to the world?”

The leader waved his hand and said, "No, don't promote it for now."

"If you want to promote it, then do it in a big way."

"It won't be too late to promote our aerospace aircraft carrier once it is truly successful."

"Well! Actually, my suggestion is: now that we have mastered controlled nuclear fusion, it should be much easier for us to go to the moon, right?"

"Or, call Zhang Zhipeng over to me."

"I'll have a good chat with him."

Guo Zaijie nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes! Then let's talk to Comrade Zhipeng first."

"However, it doesn't seem that easy to install a controlled nuclear fusion reactor on a spacecraft."

"After all, to maintain such a controlled nuclear fusion reactor, a large number of auxiliary facilities are required. The protective measures and power generation facilities alone are huge."

After all, Guo Zaijie still understands a little bit.

The leader thought so too, nodded and said, "I am indeed a little too idealistic."

……

Zhang Zhipeng soon received a phone invitation from the leader’s office.

The leader invited Zhang Zhipeng and Chang Xiangjun to have a chat together.

Zhang Zhipeng told Chang Xiangjun about this, and Chang Xiangjun was very excited.

Chang Xiangjun has not been received by the leader yet.

The night before leaving for the capital, Chang Xiangjun was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night.

The next day, the two of them flew directly to Beijing.

After meeting the leader, the leader shook hands with Zhang Zhipeng enthusiastically.

Then he shook hands with Chang Xiangjun and said with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Xiangjun!"

"I've heard of you a long time ago."

"Thank you for your great contribution to the country!"

"It would be great if this artificial sun could continuously output energy for the country in the long term. We wouldn't have to worry about energy problems anymore."

Chang Xiangjun hurriedly said: "Thank you, leader! It is my responsibility and obligation to contribute to the country and make our motherland stronger!"

Next, the leader asked Zhang Zhipeng and Chang Xiangjun to sit down and talk.

What the leaders are most concerned about is whether the controlled nuclear fusion can continue to operate and output stable electricity. Also, what is the cost of this electricity?

Zhang Zhipeng told the leaders that the current controlled nuclear fusion technology should be relatively mature and there should be no problems with its continued operation. The specific situation still needs to be introduced by Chang Xiangjun.

Chang Xiangjun's introduction is more detailed.

Chang Xiangjun reported to his superiors that according to current technology, a controlled nuclear fusion reactor can continue to operate for at least one month, after which it will require maintenance and replacement of consumables.

Therefore, there should be no problem with commercial operation.

The initial estimate of the construction cost of building a 60-kilowatt controlled nuclear fusion reactor is at least 100 billion RMB.

Assuming 3 million kWh of electricity is generated every month, the investment can be recovered in about 5 years, and the commercial benefits are still quite considerable.

The leader nodded and said, "A 60-kilowatt reactor can generate 36 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. If we build two or three thousand controlled nuclear fusion reactors, we won't have to worry about electricity anymore!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Leader, that's not how it works."

"Controlled nuclear fusion reactors also generate electricity in the form of losses. In addition, there are not many raw materials needed for nuclear fusion on Earth!"

"Currently, nuclear fusion mainly uses deuterium and tritium."

"As for deuterium, it is relatively abundant on Earth, but tritium is very rare. There is very little tritium on Earth, and it is basically obtained through nuclear fission."

"However, there is one place where tritium is more abundant, and that is on the moon!"

"After we land humans on the moon in the future, we can build a base on the moon to collect tritium. We can even build a controlled nuclear fusion power station on the moon. In this way, there will be no problem with energy. We can even produce on the moon base. Then the value of the moon will increase greatly!"

The leader smiled and nodded, saying, "I am really excited by what you said! Haha!"

“I hope you will continue to work hard and strive to achieve this goal as soon as possible!”

"Well! Comrade Zhang Zhipeng and Comrade Chang Xiangjun have made great contributions to the country. I think this year's National Highest Science and Technology Award should be shared by you!" (End of this chapter)
