"Is Academician Jiang talking about nuclear-powered engines? Nuclear fission? Instead

, an academician named Liu Xiao wearing glasses reacted.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the other party, and Jiang Cheng was clear about his information.

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, solid rocket motor expert, engaged in aerospace propulsion theory and engineering research, age 59.

But Jiang Cheng still shook his head, but did not sell it again, but explained, "It's a nuclear fusion plasma propulsion engine."

"What?!"

"Fusion engines? How is this possible?

"That's it, Academician Jiang, don't joke with us old men." An old academician over 70 years old said with a smile.

Jiang Cheng smiled, "A while ago, I led the company's R&D team to preliminarily design a controllable nuclear fusion reactor, and I am currently working intensively to manufacture experimental prototypes.

"If this technology continues to be researched, I think there is also great room for development in rockets or space launch vehicles."

Academician Liu Xiao frowned and said, "The nuclear fusion engine is indeed a very good idea, but this idea is only limited to theory and laboratories.

"I am not a professional in this area, Liu Xiao is an expert in this field." But I've also always thought that nuclear fusion is uncontrollable, at least for now, nuclear fission is safer. Another academician spoke.

Nuclear fission refers to the fission of heavy elements, such as uranium, into lighter elements.

Nuclear fusion refers to the fusion of hydrogen elements, such as hydrogen and helium, into heavier elements.

The dividing line in the middle is iron (cobalt, nickel).

Fusion to iron, there can be no more fusion; Fission to iron, can no longer fission.

Stars like the sun, the current stage is hydrogen fusion, if all hydrogen fusion is finished, then helium fusion will begin, helium fusion into carbon, carbon refusion into oxygen, oxygen fusion into silicon, silicon fusion into iron. (It's more complicated, here's a brief introduction)

Of course, this is when the corresponding conditions are appropriate.

Not all stars have a chance to meet this condition.

Jiang Cheng also likes to discuss with these academicians in this way, "Fission elements due to the number of neutrons and protons, fission radiation is too much, the problem is too big, or fusion incense."

"But fission, we just need to insert a rod, we can slow down the fission, fusion is difficult." The academician, who insists that fusion is uncontrollable, still says so.

Xu Shaoxiong did not stop and let everyone discuss.

This is technical exchange, this Jiang Cheng in front of him is the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the field of science and technology is not to be underestimated, common communication is also a very good way to improve their scientific research capabilities.

It's just that there is something strange in his heart.

If Jiang Chengzhen completes the controllable fusion reactor, then it is estimated that the Chinese Academy of Engineering will give him the title of academician of the Academy of Engineering the next day, right?

Academician Hua Guoshuang, who is only 27 years old, can no longer be said to be awesome.

It can only be said that he is a god-like character.

After 10,000 years and a hundred years down, it is estimated that it will be difficult for a scientific and technological "god" like Jiang Cheng to appear.

Jiang Cheng listened to everyone's discussion, and then said with a smile, "How to achieve it is naturally our special technology. If it goes well, the prototype can be tested in the first half of next year. Then, after the successful trial next year, it is not too late for us to talk about cooperation.

"Eh, Academician Jiang, your aerospace company also has a research and development team, why would you want to work with us on nuclear fusion engines?" Xu Shaoxiong asked a little strangely.

"Because my energy is limited, and the newly established R&D team is inexperienced." Jiang Cheng said truthfully.

But the Chinese Space Administration is different, after decades of research and development accumulation, it has also made its own innovations and breakthroughs in the field of independent rocket engines.

In the future, whether it is aerospace or military, nuclear fusion engines are not completely mastered by Jiangcheng as a private enterprise.

Instead of this, it is better to reach cooperation with the Chinese official earlier, at least the money and people can make Jiang Cheng worry a lot less.

After Xu Shaoxiong listened, he looked at several academicians who did not dare to express their position casually, and said, "In this way, I need to report to the leader, this new cooperation is too bizarre."

"Yes." Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, at present, through his own launch base in Qionghai City, coupled with the Fengyun 1 launch vehicle, it is not a big problem to build his own small space base step by step.

And three years later, the completed Kenya Space Launch Center will be able to take over a large amount of capacity, and it will be easier to build a larger base at that time.

As for cooperation, Jiang Cheng believes that the Chinese official will not refuse.

The temptation is too great.

The root cause of why Hua Guo spared no effort to develop the space industry lies in the historical lessons of the Qing Dynasty's closed country.

In modern times, because of the isolation of the country, the sea power was lost.

Today's space resources are an unexplored virgin land, and whoever occupies it first is whom.

In the future, with huge resources, we can better and faster develop the technology tree.

Wait until that time, what are the many countries of the earth? There is only one Chinese country in the world!

Open your mouth and say: After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?

Who dares to disagree?

The space base is overhead, and deploying laser weapons in space or even on the moon is much better than on the ground.

The ground is also affected by the curvature of the earth, and when you look at the ground from space, you can see it at a glance.

However, in the current situation, the United States can compete with China in space, but unfortunately in the field of carbon-based chips, Jiang Cheng has locked the other party.

After talking for a while, Xu Shaoxiong left first.

As soon as he left, several academicians became lively, especially Academician Liu Xiao ran directly to Jiang Cheng's side, "Academician Jiang, how did the fusion engine you said here come true?" Is it deuterium-tritium fusion? Is superconducting magnetic confinement? How is the inner wall material solved?

A series of questions could see Liu Xiao's anxiety.

Jiang Cheng smiled and patted Liu Xiao's arm, "I want to know, let's cooperate!"

Liu Xiao was suddenly depressed.

Bite one's tongue.

But he also understands that such a powerful and sci-fi technology will definitely not be revealed so easily.

He is just an academician himself, and he cannot call the shots.

It can only be a call to the top to strengthen close cooperation.

At present, the cooperation between Hua Guo and Maple Fire Group is very close, as experts in the aerospace field, they also know that there is also close cooperation in the military field.

It can be said that in science and technology, Jiang Cheng represents the level of science and technology in China to a certain extent.

"Anyway, I'm going to convince the leadership, I think we have to get involved."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, got up and prepared to leave, but stretched out his hand, "Looking forward to that day."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Liu Xiao solemnly stretched out his hand.
