Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world
Chapter 64 Ark Reactor
In fact, this society is sometimes really like a development and operation game with fewer bugs.
Establish a project in the right direction, invest enough money, recruit the necessary talent and creative genius, and most importantly, special experimental equipment and time.
Engaging in scientific research and scientific research on high-tech hardware is really a project with a large investment and unstable financial returns.
For example, the top treasure of modern industry-lithography machine.
Nowadays, there is only one country in the world that can manufacture the top high-precision lithography machines, the Netherlands, a company named ASML in the Netherlands. However, it is such a monopoly dominance. The EUV lithography machine they manufacture costs 120 million euros. It is equivalent to 940 million yuan, but the money that can be sold and the funds invested cannot be offset at all, and this price is fine, and it will not be sold to outsiders at all, so the "sales volume" is not high.
Another example is the artificial sun that Daxia is currently leading in global research.
That is to simulate the environment of the sun's core on the earth, so the related experimental equipment is also called "artificial sun", and the full name is "Full Superconducting Tokamak Nuclear Fusion Experimental Device (EAST)".
Of course, Gu Qing can't afford these two things.
The former requires too much high-precision manufacturing equipment, which needs to be refined slowly; the latter requires too much banknote resources. In order to stabilize the artificial sun and have practical applications, it requires a lot of zero capital investment, which can only be supported by the state.
But as a person whose head is full of different-dimensional technology, the latter, energy is actually easier to manufacture.
But it is not an artificial sun, but a palladium reactor.
Palladium (Palladium, Pd) is the No. 46 chemical element, and its elemental substance is a metal.
The most important thing is that palladium can absorb a large amount of hydrogen, which can even reach thousands of times its own volume, and the hydrogen can be released after only a little heating. Therefore, palladium has great potential as a hydrogen storage material.
With such a strong potential, naturally many people want to play with it.
At the end of the 20th century, two big names in the field of electrochemistry tried to use palladium to electrolyze heavy water, and then they published a conclusion after the experiment: this experiment had an unusually high energy output, and measured the output of neutrons and tritium, so They believe that palladium can induce nuclear fusion at room temperature, also known as cold fusion.
You must know that in order for nuclear fusion to occur under normal circumstances, it is necessary to heat the fuel to tens of millions of degrees Celsius, so that the fuel has enough thermal kinetic energy to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between atoms to undergo fusion.
If nuclear fusion can be realized at normal temperature, it will be a real energy revolution.
Thermal power generation that wastes resources and pollutes the environment, wind power generation that is troublesome to maintain and requires regional conditions, hydropower generation that needs to change the environment, and water-rich power generation. These power generation projects will all disappear in the dust of history because of this palladium element reactor.
But the reality is not so simple. The experiments of these two giants in the electrochemical field have never been reproduced by the "unworthy descendants" of later generations.
And the academic community has raised a lot of doubts about the results of the cold fusion of palladium element. The most scientific doubt is:
The thermal kinetic energy of deuterium at normal temperature is far from enough to overcome Coulomb repulsion, and fusion cannot occur. Previous experiments have found that palladium intensifies deuterium-deuterium repulsion, making it less prone to fusion.
So the palladium element reactor is like a farce. It was lively at first, but then it was deserted and deserted. From time to time, someone would come out and spit.
But in the knowledge that Gu Qing has passed down, there are big differences.
Two big men invented the Ark Reactor powered by palladium, an energy supply device that can provide clean energy to the outside world. However, the first-generation Ark Reactor was very large and the energy conversion efficiency was very low. Later, one of the big men The Boy's Children improved the reactor design, successfully miniaturized it, and used it as a power source for their own armor.
All physical problems can be described by partial differential equations (mathematical physics equations) about space and time. The theory of partial differential equations tells us that for a set of partial differential equations, there can be any number of solutions, so the definite solution is determined by the initial conditions and boundary conditions—called definite solution conditions.
Philosophically speaking, the physical process described by partial differential equations is the internal cause, and the initial conditions and boundary conditions are the external causes. For a steady state process, the definite solution condition is determined by the boundary condition.
Specifically, it is determined by the first wall of the vacuum chamber facing the plasma and the wall conditions of the target plate of the divertor.
Gu Qing didn't fully understand the technology of the Ark reactor, but he was able to do it step by step based on the knowledge in his mind.
Of course, this is like a handicraft enthusiast assembling a super-difficult model. Even if there are drawings, construction according to the drawings requires many trials and errors and corrections.
But there is no way. The Guardian No. 1 mecha lying in the underground laboratory still relies on cables to transmit energy. December is coming. In order to surprise some people in Korea, the energy problem of the mecha must be solved.
So since the last meeting and painting the cakes, Gu Qing has returned to the cold underground laboratory. He eats three meals a day, Ah Hao, who was modified from a large sweeping robot before. [Xuanwu] manipulates it to order food in the cafeteria. Then bring the food back.
And while he was still beating and working hard.
Harbin University of Technology is separated from Xishu University by thousands of mountains and rivers.
In the postgraduate dormitory, there was a boy with black-rimmed glasses who was rushing to finish his thesis.
"Check the double check, damn that hammer, don't you quote it? HowNet is so expensive, isn't it just playing with snakeskin?"
Chu Ci in the broken thoughts, that is called a gas.
But thinking of the zero-tolerance attitude of relevant departments to academic fraud, and the measures to include academic misconduct in the list of dishonest persons, I still sighed in my heart.
It still needs to be checked.
He stretched, then looked down at the laptop display.
However, Chu Ci suddenly noticed that the penguin icon in the lower right corner of the screen was flashing.
Although he knew it might be an advertisement, he still clicked on it casually because he was a bit obsessive-compulsive, intending to close it.
It turned out that the reminder of the message came from the tutor's group notification.
His breathing froze for an instant.
The supervisor of the graduate student is also the boss of the student. The project fee is the key point. If there is a problem from time to time, he must be on call.
And most importantly, ordinary bosses can't beat and scold employees at will, but mentors can... even get a diploma...
Chu Ci naturally clicked on the news in a hurry.
"Look at the robot in this video, you can tell if it is a synthetic CG image, and write a review tomorrow by the way."
Followed by a video link.
Chuci clicked on the link and jumped to Bizhan's video page.
