I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 441 Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology

Jiangzhou Feiyun Technology Atomic Energy Research Institute.

The establishment of this research institute is not an easy task. After all, the control in this area is extremely strict, and it is basically impossible for private enterprises to get involved in this field.

Feiyun Technology's applications were not approved many times. Finally, it was only after Liu Fei submitted some of his ideas about controlled nuclear fusion technology that he was granted permission.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology is naturally not an ordinary technology.

This technology is hailed as the technology that can completely solve mankind's energy problems, and is also known as the energy technology of the interstellar universe era.

Its importance cannot be overstated!

We all know that the energy generated by nuclear fusion is much greater than that generated by nuclear fission, and most importantly, the raw materials for nuclear fusion are more abundant, have larger reserves, and are easier to mine than the raw materials for nuclear fission.

At the same time, the pollution produced by nuclear fusion is much smaller than that of nuclear fission. It can even be said that it produces almost no pollution at all. It is a very clean energy.

These are the major factors that make controlled nuclear fusion technology promising to completely solve humanity’s energy problems.

However, human scientists have not yet mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, and all nuclear power plants now use nuclear fission technology.

Uncontrolled nuclear fusion technology has been mastered, and the hydrogen bomb is an example of uncontrolled nuclear fusion technology.

Once the entire nuclear fusion process is started, it cannot be controlled at all. This is the uncontrollable nuclear fusion technology.

Since the process is uncontrollable, it can obviously only be used to cause damage rather than to be used as an energy source.

There are two major problems that have prevented us from mastering controlled nuclear fusion technology.

One is that nuclear fusion requires certain conditions to occur, and it can only be achieved in a high temperature and high pressure environment.

Stars are constantly undergoing nuclear fusion, and the temperature inside stars is as high as tens of millions of degrees, coupled with extremely terrifying pressure, so stars can constantly undergo nuclear fusion reactions.

It is obviously very difficult to artificially create such a high temperature and high pressure environment to ignite nuclear fusion materials.

The uncontrollable way is to use an atomic bomb to ignite nuclear fusion material and detonate a hydrogen bomb.

The controllable method has always troubled scientists, and they have never come up with a good way to ignite controlled nuclear fusion materials.

Another difficulty is that when nuclear fusion occurs, the highest temperature can reach hundreds of millions of degrees. There is currently no material or method that can be used to withstand or control such a terrifyingly high temperature.

These two major problems have always troubled scientists and are the reason why controlled nuclear fusion technology has never been realized.

Liu Fei had the controlled nuclear fusion technology that was rewarded by the system. When he submitted a small part of it, it immediately attracted great attention. In addition, Feiyun Technology had strong scientific research capabilities and financial resources, so it was able to obtain permission to establish an atomic energy research center to study controlled nuclear fusion technology.

At this moment, in a huge laboratory at the Atomic Energy Research Center, the world's first controlled nuclear fusion reactor is preparing to begin testing.

Liu Fei and many scientists from related fields of Feiyun Technology and the national team were waiting quietly. It could be seen that everyone was very excited.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Once you master this technology, you will never have to worry about energy problems again.

The moon is rich in clean energy He3 needed for nuclear fusion. This resource has never been mined because without the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, He3 is a useless resource.

However, once we master the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, human history will be completely rewritten, and we will no longer have to worry about energy problems.

Things like oil, coal, hydropower, wind power, etc. are all younger brothers in front of controlled nuclear fusion technology, the younger ones among younger brothers.

And this technology can also be used for interstellar space navigation.

Scientists estimate that once humans master interstellar navigation technology, the driving energy must be controlled nuclear fusion, and any other technology will not be sufficient to generate enough energy to support interstellar navigation.

This technology is so important.

Even if Feiyun Technology is allowed to conduct research, the national team must participate in the entire process.

“Technology is developing so fast!”

"I still remember my teacher telling me about his involvement in the research on the two bombs."

"That was a period of time that made people's blood boil. My teachers and countless predecessors dedicated their youth to the Northwest and forged the country's sacred weapon in the desert!"

"Time has changed. I never thought that I would be able to participate in the research of controlled nuclear fusion technology and witness us become the world's most advanced in this field!"

Next to Liu Fei, a white-haired old man looked very excited.

His name is Li Rushen. He is a leading figure in the field of atomic energy technology and also the leader of the national team.

"Yes!"

"Controlled nuclear fusion technology, we have been researching for a lifetime without any breakthroughs, but young people like Liu Fei have already mastered all the key technologies in just one or two years."

"But we have young people like Liu Fei in our country, so we can rest assured."

Next to Li Rusen, an old man with the same gray hair couldn't help but nod and sigh.

His name is Tang Rong, and he is also a leading scientist in the field of atomic energy research. Even though he has reached retirement age, he still insists on being at the forefront of scientific research and is still making contributions.

"You are too kind. Without you, the predecessors, who have paved the way for us, the younger generations, we would not have been able to solve the two major difficulties of controlled nuclear fusion technology so quickly."

Liu Fei replied modestly.

Take a closer look at the huge nuclear fusion reactor in front of you. Although it was built in a laboratory for experiments, it is not a controlled nuclear fusion reactor for commercial use.

But its scale is still very large, as large as several football fields.

The entire reactor can be roughly divided into three layers.

The outermost ignition structure.

The entire ignition structure is based on the National Ignition Facility in America.

Controlled nuclear fusion relies on this ignition device to ignite nuclear fusion materials.

The ignition device is essentially the application of laser technology and is an ultra-large laser confinement fusion device.

Millions of joules of energy can be accurately concentrated onto a tiny point through hundreds of laser beams.

When the energy is released instantly, it can generate terrifying high temperatures of over 100 million degrees and horrific high pressures, thereby igniting nuclear fusion materials.

It seems simple to say, but it is extremely simple to do.

Millions of joules of energy are constrained, enhanced and finally concentrated on a tiny point through hundreds of lasers. This step alone is enough to give scientists a headache.

Of course, this ignition device is used here as a lighter to ignite nuclear fusion materials. If it is used in weapons, it will be a deadly laser weapon. In fact, as long as research and development continue, it has the potential to develop into an energy weapon.

Once this technology is used in the military field, any missile or aircraft will be no match for it. Energy weapons that attack at the speed of light will make missiles and aircraft like snails, and it can hit them with every strike.

Even drones, which are the most troublesome thing in the military field today, are no more than mosquitoes in front of laser weapons and can be easily shot down.

The outermost part is the ignition device, which is used to ignite the nuclear fusion material.

The structure in the middle is a device used to carry nuclear fusion reactions.

Nuclear fusion produces high temperatures of up to hundreds of millions of degrees. At this temperature, all materials will become ionized.

This problem must be solved if we want to achieve controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Liu Fei uses the magnetic confinement method.

This method was proposed by scientists a long time ago, and they designed devices such as the Thomas magnetic confinement device, believing that this device could control the high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees generated by nuclear fusion.

Liu Fei's magnetic confinement technology is essentially no different from this. Both rely on a strong magnetic field to confine the terrifying high temperature and energy generated by nuclear fusion.

However, the magnetic confinement device researched and manufactured by Liu Fei and others is much more powerful, and at the same time more controllable and safer. It almost perfectly solves the problem of the uncontrollable high temperature and huge energy generated by nuclear fusion.

The core layer is the nuclear fusion reaction zone, which is actually the smallest part of the entire reactor. It is located in a sphere, and the nuclear fusion reaction will be realized in this sphere.

At this moment, scientists are conducting final checks before testing, checking everything carefully.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology is not something that children can play with.

Once successful, it can be said that human history will open a new chapter and undergo earth-shaking changes.

Of course, if controlled nuclear fusion technology is used in the energy field, it is actually no different from before, it is all about boiling water.

Many people don’t know that the end of technological development is still boiling water.

Whether it is the current nuclear power plant, the thermal power plant or the future controlled nuclear fusion power plant, in essence, they all boil water in a fancy way, heating the water to produce high-temperature and high-pressure steam to drive the generator to work.

Even a huge aircraft carrier, even a nuclear-powered one, is actually boiling water.

By heating water and causing it to produce high-temperature and high-pressure gas, the turbine is driven to work. The turbine is used to generate electricity, propel ships forward, and so on.

The same is true for the controlled nuclear fusion reactors in front of us. If they are used in the energy field, they will ultimately not escape the fate of boiling water.

This is also the reason why developed countries restrict the export of large thermal power unit technology. Because boiling water is also divided into stages, blocking the export of large thermal power unit technology can lock up this technology, making it impossible for latecomer countries to develop forever.
