Chapter 393 Prototype

After Huang Haojie read it carefully, he couldn't help applauding Liu Jingguan's "neutron squeeze method".

"Very constructive thought."

"Jing Guan is perfecting this plan, and we hope to use this method to make a prototype." Fei Anming said hastily.

"Yes, the condensed matter shield generator and NN-8-1 materials can be customized from Supernova Industries, and they are now responsible for the production of these things." Huang Haojie nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, chairman." Fei Anming said excitedly.

"I congratulate you on the successful development of the neutron squeezer as soon as possible." Huang Haojie was also very happy. Sure enough, human beings have unlimited possibilities, and people in the world should not be underestimated.

After the holographic communication is over.

Fei Anming quickly told Liu Jingguan the good news.

"Wait and see, the chairman has approved us to use the neutron squeeze method to develop nuclear fusion power generation."

"Great." Liu Jingguan also became excited.

Fei Anming walked back and forth in the office for a few steps, then stopped and said, "Well, let's stop improving the tokamak device and gather the researchers in the institute to do their best to perfect the neutron crushing method."

"I agree that if neutron crushing works, the tokamak is useless."

The resolute Fei Anming immediately summoned all the researchers and engineers of Qinling Plasma Research Institute.

Zhang Huaide, who was discussing with a group of researchers and engineers how to improve the shield layout, suddenly received a notice from Fei Anming, asking him to bring all the researchers and engineers to the conference room for a meeting.

Although he was puzzled, he brought people to the meeting room.

"Huide, you're here too." Yang Guangming, who is in charge of plasma control research, came up to say hello.

"Old Yang, do you know what's going on? It seems that all the researchers in the institute have come." Zhang Huaide asked in surprise.

Yang Guangming spread his hands and replied, "I'm also confused."

After a while everyone arrived, Fei Anming glanced at the meeting room, and said:
"Today's sudden meeting is mainly because there is one thing that needs to be announced. Mr. Liu has invented a brand-new nuclear fusion power generation method. We have decided to suspend the improvement of the tokamak device and fully promote the neutron crushing method."

"What? Suspend the tokamak device? Wouldn't it be too arbitrary for Fei Suo to do so?" Zhang Huaide said with a frown.

"I know everyone must have doubts in their hearts." After Fei Anming finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Liu Jingguan:

"Mr. Liu, please send the information to everyone, and then introduce the technical principle of the neutron squeeze method to everyone."

Liu Jing nodded her head, and first sent the information on the neutron crushing method to everyone present: "Let's take a look, and I'll explain it in 10 minutes."

The people who received the information clicked on the holographic display and began to study it carefully.

They all want to know what this neutron crushing method is, and why Fei Anming and Liu Jingguan chose to abandon the mature tokamak device.

Zhang Huaide calmly flipped through the pages, and the more he read, the more excited he became. This neutron squeezing method is theoretically possible.

If they can successfully complete the prototype test, the potential of this neutron crushing method is even greater, because the neutron crushing method is not difficult to miniaturize.

Of course, all of these are his current guesses. To verify this neutron crushing method, it is necessary to make a prototype. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the data on paper or how perfect the model is, it will be useless.

Others either brightened their eyes, or started discussing in whispers.

"It's time, let me introduce the technical principle of this neutron squeezing method..." Liu Jingguan briefly explained the neutron squeezing method.

Following Liu Jingguan's explanation, some people who had doubts also raised their questions. Liu Jingguan answered them one by one. The truth became clearer and clearer, and everyone was convinced.

"I agree to suspend the tokamak." Zhang Huaide said.

"I also agree to test the neutron crushing method." Yang Guangming also nodded and said.

"agree."

"..."

Everyone agreed that a prototype machine using neutron crushing would be built first to test whether neutron crushing was feasible.

If it works, there is really no need for a tokamak, and if not, it’s not too late for them to go back to the tokamak.

Zhang Huaide thought for a while and said: "Fei Suo, Chief Engineer Liu, I think that the 16 condensed matter shield generators on the tokamak ring vacuum pipeline can be dismantled and modified to make a neutron squeezer."

"Yes, Huaide, you and Chief Engineer Liu will transform these condensed matter shield generators together, and we will cooperate with you." Fei Anming agreed to the transformation plan.

The excited Qinling Plasma Research Institute quickly removed 16 condensed matter shield generators.

After clearing out a large laboratory, Zhang Huaide and Liu Jingguan led people to start modifying these condensed matter shield generators.

NN—8—1材料非常奇特，在从不稳定态的NN—8转变成为稳定态的NN—8—1之后，同一批次的NN—8—1材料会融合在一起，变得不可分离。

However, different batches of NN-8-1 materials will not fuse together. They will fuse only in the activated state. Once the activated state stops, they will go back to their respective homes.

In fact, this characteristic is derived from the integrity of NN-8-1 materials. It can be said that the whole of NN-8-1 materials of the same batch is an element.

It is precisely because of this feature that they can maintain stability, and have the characteristics of temporary integration and relative independence.

The transformation work is in full swing, and Zhang Huaide and others have successfully transformed 8 of the condensed matter shield generators.

Four of them were transformed into a condensed matter vacuum chamber, which is oval in shape.

The other four condensed matter shield generators were transformed into compression hammers, used to quickly fill the vacuum chamber with NN-4-8.

The renovation project took more than a week to adjust.

The time has come to February 2020, 2. Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the first day of work.

However, the people of Qinling Plasma Research Institute had a fulfilling and exciting Spring Festival.

In a large laboratory of Qinling Plasma Research Institute, there is a strange-looking machine in the middle. This is the prototype neutron squeezer modified by Zhang Huaide, Liu Jingguan and others.

The prototype looks like a football sandwiched between two barbell plates. The translucent football is shaped like a vacuum chamber made of the same material used to make vacuum railway pipes.

This outer vacuum cavity is necessary, otherwise the condensed matter vacuum cavity cannot be formed.

"Fei Suo, the prototype of the neutron squeezer has been completed, and now the reaction materials are needed." Liu Jingguan said while holding the document.

After taking the file and flipping through it, Fei Anming didn't expect Liu Jingguan and others to move so fast.

"I'll go prepare the reaction materials right away."

"Then please."

"You're welcome."

The reason why they said to prepare the reaction material is that the reaction material they prepared for the first test was DT, which is deuterium tritium.

Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. We generally refer to heavy water as it. It can be extracted through multiple electrolytic distillation methods. The heavy water factory of the Galaxy Consortium produces it. The ex-factory price of one kilogram is about 6 Martian coins.

Tritium is another isotope of hydrogen, which is commonly referred to as superheavy water. The natural abundance of this thing is very small, and it can only be synthesized artificially. Generally, tritium is produced by bombarding lithium with neutrons.
