Rebirth: My Family Is 100 Million Points Strong!

early September.

USA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

College of Engineering, major in Nuclear Engineering.

Professor Kevin is teaching nuclear physics to students.

He popularized science: "Nuclear fusion is a kind of thermonuclear reaction. Under extremely high temperature and pressure, the atomic nuclei can attract each other and collide together, and the atomic nuclei will polymerize with each other, releasing the energy of all atomic nuclei in an instant.

Nuclear fusion is divided into controllable nuclear fusion and uncontrollable nuclear fusion.

The hydrogen bomb that everyone is familiar with is uncontrollable nuclear fusion, and it is gone after the explosion.

The sun that everyone is familiar with is controllable nuclear fusion.

Its core is a super-large natural nuclear fusion reactor, which can continuously and steadily release energy for billions of years and radiate the entire solar system~.

Theoretically, deuterium fusion in 1 liter of seawater can produce energy equivalent to 300 liters of oil, and it will produce almost no waste and greenhouse gases, and will not cause climate change.

Therefore, controllable nuclear fusion technology is expected to provide almost unlimited clean energy, and it is the "star of hope" for human future energy technology.

Once the controllable nuclear fusion succeeds, mankind will enter the next energy era and enter the interstellar era. "

hear this.

The students nodded.

All things grow by the sun.

Most of the energy needed by human beings comes from the sun.

Coal, oil, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, and even daily food, energy is actually endowed by the sun.

The energy of the sun comes from the hydrogen-helium fusion reaction inside it.

If controllable nuclear fusion can be realized, the energy on the earth will be inexhaustible.

Human beings will be able to achieve self-sufficiency, no longer rely on the sun, and even go out of the solar system to achieve a technological leap.

A student asked: "Professor, the theory of controlled nuclear fusion was very mature as early as 1933. But until now, human beings have never mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion. Where do you think the main source of difficulty is?"

"Each has its own difficulty!"

Roland said: "The two development paths to realize controllable nuclear fusion have encountered bottlenecks.

The road to controllable nuclear fusion in the United States is to use laser-driven implosion technology, use lasers to focus the laser beam on the same point, instantly generate a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, ignite nuclear fusion materials, and make it generate fusion energy.

Our country has been building the National Ignition Facility NIF since 1997.

The device is the largest laser-driven inertial confinement fusion device in the world. It was officially completed and put into use in 2009, costing 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, and has the size of three football fields.

It can focus 2 megajoules of energy through 192 laser beams into a space of 2 millimeters, thereby compressing the fuel to the core of the sun and the temperature and pressure of a nuclear explosion to achieve fusion ignition.

12 years for the NIF to be in use.

Researchers, from 5000 failures, constantly improve and revise the experiment.

Just last month, NIF was finally in the experiment, approaching the ignition threshold and reaching the threshold of fusion ignition. The input laser energy was 1.9 megajoules, the fusion output energy was 1.37 megajoules, the energy gain reached 0.72, and the engineering gain was 0.98%. At the same time, the fusion The number of neutrons produced by the reaction is consistent with the chain nuclear reaction that occurs within 100 trillionth of a second, and the corresponding energy release power exceeds 10 petawatts.

In the data I mentioned just now, it is mentioned that the fusion ignition energy gain is 0.72, and the engineering gain is 0.98%.

From the point of view of energy conversion.

The feasibility of fusion ignition can only be determined when the energy gain is greater than 1.

Of course, even if the energy gain is greater than 1, the engineering gain must be greater than 1.

The NIF National Ignition Device must improve the energy conversion efficiency by at least 100 times in engineering to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion. "

Speaking of which.

Professor Kevin took a sip of water around the cup.

At the same time, he also gave the students some time to absorb the knowledge.

hear this.

The students have a basic understanding of the progress of nuclear fusion in the United States.

The current United States is still far from real controllable nuclear fusion.

Professor Kevin continued: "Xiaguo's road to controllable nuclear fusion is to use a fully superconducting tokamak device to achieve ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature, so that it can generate fusion energy.

Last year, the Xiaguo all-superconducting tokamak device achieved a 1056-second long-pulse high-parameter plasma operating temperature of 70 million degrees Celsius.

In terms of temperature alone.

The Xiaguo all-superconducting tokamak device has achieved repeatable plasma operation at 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds and 160 million degrees Celsius for 20 seconds.

And want to achieve controllable nuclear fusion stable power generation.

At least two conditions must be met.

One is to instantly heat the plasma of tritium or deuterium to 100 million degrees Celsius.

The second is to last at least 1000 seconds to achieve a sustained response.

Obviously, Xia Guo has already led the world in the field of steady-state magnetic confinement fusion research.

Of course, although Xiaguo's controllable nuclear fusion can generate electricity, it is not yet ready for commercialization.

Because the investment in maintaining controllable nuclear fusion is far greater than the output of controllable fusion power generation.

However, the industry agrees.

In another six years or so, Xia Guo will be able to truly realize controllable nuclear fusion!"

The voice fell.

The American students present all looked very dignified.

As far as they know.

Xia Guo's controllable nuclear fusion project is divided into three stages.

The short-term goal is to realize the first power generation of controllable nuclear fusion in 2015-2021.

Medium-term goal, 2021-2035, to improve the efficiency of controllable nuclear fusion, reduce input and increase output.

The long-term goal is that from 2035 to 2050, the input of controllable nuclear fusion will begin to be smaller than the output, and the conditions for commercialization will be met, and controllable fusion power stations will be built in various places.

Now, Xia Guo has entered the mid-term goal.

If the United States cannot lead Xia Guo in the field of controllable nuclear fusion.

The kingdom of Xia, Tuan reached the top and became the world's most powerful country!

Professor Kevin said in a concentrated voice: "This year, Xiaguo's technology has developed rapidly, and it has successively developed intelligent life and holographic projection technology, which amazed the world.

Right now, the field of controllable nuclear fusion has become a new battlefield for major powers to compete!

Once Xia Guo takes the lead in developing controllable nuclear fusion, then the dominance of the U.S. will cease to exist!"

The voice fell.

The students present were silent.

There is a consensus in the tech world.

The United States is playing nuclear.

What Xia Guo played was magnetism.

These are two tech routes that can touch Divine Grade civilizations.

And now...

Xia Guo has played brilliantly in the nuclear and magnetic fields!

"WTF?! Amazing!"

An Indian student suddenly exclaimed again and again, breaking the tranquility of the classroom.

Hearing this, the eyes of the whole class were focused on this student.

……… Ask for flowers………

Professor Kevin frowned.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the top three universities in the world.

Although the school is inclusive, it is inclusive.

But all the professors hate students who are surprised in class.

Ah three is ah three.

He Liyan!

He just wanted to reprimand a few words.

But I heard Kunal, a student from India, said excitedly: "Professor, Xiamen has conquered the technology of controllable nuclear fusion!"

The voice fell.

The whole class stared at Kunaler like a fool.

previous class.

The professor spoke clearly.

Xiaguo's controllable nuclear fusion can only generate electricity for a short time at present, which is not enough for commercialization.

If you want to conquer controllable nuclear fusion, you need at least the sixth army.

Obviously, Kunale didn't pay attention to the lecture at all in class.

See people question.

Kunaler stood up quickly, walked up to the high platform, searched for information on teacher Kevin's computer, and projected the screen to the multimedia screen in the classroom.

The students looked up.

A video appeared on the screen.

The title of the video is "The Birth of Controllable Nuclear Fusion in Xia Kingdom, A Milestone in Human Science and Technology!"

in the screen.

Xia Guo News reporter said impassionedly: "My friends, today is September 16, 2021, a day worthy of special mention.

As early as last year, White Cloud Nuclear Industry Group realized the 1056-second long-pulse high-parameter plasma operation of the EAST all-superconducting tokamak device, setting a new world record.

Just today, the researchers of White Cloud Controllable Nuclear Fusion Group, with the assistance of quantum computers and strong artificial intelligence, successfully conquered the controllable nuclear fusion technology!

Next, see the detailed report.

Below the TV screen, there are English subtitles.

The students all understood the news.

The students in the class look at each other, and everyone pretends to be a guest.

"ohmygod! Has Xia Guo really conquered controllable nuclear fusion?"

Munbelievable! Xia Guo's technological level is so high?"

Winconceivable! Controllable fusion is born, incredible!"

Everyone was amazed.

Professor Kevin looked solemn.

Xia Guo News is a state-level media.

This kind of authoritative organization will never report fake news.

Obviously, Yuanguo really conquered the technology of controllable nuclear fusion.

as a nuclear physicist.

Kevin is very clear.

The history of the development of human civilization is actually a history of energy utilization.

Every time the total energy used rises to a higher level, human civilization can reach a new height.

The birth of controllable nuclear fusion means endless energy.

Think here.

Kevin sighed.

Xia Guo has developed intelligent life, intelligent robots, and holographic projection technology, and the United States may be able to remain calm.

But when the controllable nuclear fusion was completely conquered by the Xia Kingdom, it was no longer possible to remain calm when going abroad.

From today onwards, the world pattern will be completely broken.

Xia Kingdom has officially become the most powerful country in the world, and its technological level has reached the peak of human beings!

After feeling a lot.

Kevin regained his energy and stared at the screen intently.

He wants to see it.

How Xia Guo conquered the controllable nuclear fusion technology... perish....
