Chapter 490 1T Power Electron Gun (for Subscription)
Although the "Golden Crow Device" is not a real nuclear fusion reactor, but an experimental device, this device is very large, with a diameter of 30 meters, and the cost of the first device is as high as 10 billion yuan.

The controllable nuclear fusion project, like other research, is a process of continuous trial and error, and improvements are made during the process of trial and error.

For example, this "Golden Crow Device" will start construction next year, and it only belongs to the first generation of "Golden Crow Device". It uses the most advanced technology today to conduct controllable nuclear fusion experiments, and then continuously improves all aspects through controllable nuclear fusion experiments. Technology.

On this day, Qin Yuanqing came to the plasma physics laboratory.

The design idea of ​​the whole set of experimental equipment seems to be very simple, but it is extremely complicated in practice.

Besides the obvious ones, there are many not-so-obvious problems to be solved, which require a combination of theory and engineering knowledge!
For this whole set of devices, the team has almost spent the past three months in the laboratory and overcame many difficulties before they came up with this set of devices.

"Academician Qin, do you want to start the experiment?" Lin Yingming looked at Qin Yuanqing.

"Okay, let's start the experiment!" Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly.

Then Lin Yingming gave the order for the experiment, but the progress of the matter was not as smooth as everyone imagined.

The moment helium 3 atoms were injected into the high-temperature and high-pressure plasma, they were heated to the plasma state in a short time as expected, and the detectors connected to the outer wall of the simulation device also collected helium 3 as expected due to collisions and other reasons. Generated electromagnetic wave data.

But fate seems to have played a joke with everyone. The helium-3 atoms emitted by the atomic gun did not pass through the plasma as expected.

Wherever it ends up shooting, it misses the target material.

Obviously, they successfully fired the bullet, but did not successfully recover the bullet, which represented the failure of the first experiment.

Everyone is not depressed, and continue with a new round of experiments. Experiments are like this. There are always errors. One experiment cannot explain the problem. Therefore, in the laboratory, experiments are always performed in multiple groups, and then carried out through multiple sets of experimental data. Analyze, find problems, and then make corrections and conclusions.

But by the end of the 30th experiment, the atmosphere in the entire laboratory was extremely solemn.Because of 30 consecutive experiments, the results still did not detect the signal from the helium 3 atoms hitting the target material.

This means that either they ignored a major problem in the experimental process, which caused such a large deviation in the experimental results.Or it shows that there are problems in theory, which makes mistakes when it is implemented in specific experiments.

"Academician Qin, Academician Lin, could it be that the sensitivity of the probe is not enough? In fact, the impact has already happened, but we didn't observe it!?" A researcher raised a possibility.

Does this possibility exist? ?

There is such a possibility, if the collision signal is weak enough, it may indeed be ignored by the detector.

"Impossible! The waveform image of the electromagnetic wave is obvious. The energy of the helium-3 particle has decayed and exceeded the threshold in one-third of the area. There is no need to observe it. Theoretically, it has deviated from the original orbit. What does this mean? We should be clear!" Another researcher shook his head.

Qin Yuanqing's face was dignified at this time, and he watched the whole experiment process in detail.From the peak changes on the electromagnetic spectrum image, he has been able to judge that the helium-3 atoms that act as bullets did not penetrate the plasma, but "missed" in the collision with the particles inside the plasma.

It may have been confined in the electromagnetic field together with those plasmas, or it may have broken through the constraints of the electromagnetic field and plasma, but the direction of motion has been completely changed in the constant collisions...

If the particle injected into the chaotic system cannot be observed, it becomes a part of the chaotic system. Even if it still exists, it is still "missing" in the sense of physics.

Qin Yuanqing showed a thoughtful look, and his head was running quickly to conduct various analyzes. After about a quarter of an hour, Qin Yuanqing thought of a possibility, that is, the power of the atomic gun was not strong enough.

"I think we need an atomic gun with a higher power! I just calculated that we need to increase the acceleration electric field strength of the atomic gun to 1T. The deflection angle hits the target material!" Qin Yuanqing said.

Lin Yingming frowned slightly, the acceleration electric field strength of the atomic gun increased to 1T, which is already very scary, after all, the acceleration electric field strength of the stellarator is only 10T!

More importantly, Shuimu University does not have such a powerful electron gun!

"Academician Qin, in our laboratory at Shuimu University, the maximum power of the electron gun is 0.5T. At present, in the world, an electron gun with a power of 1T costs at least 500 million U.S. dollars, and you know the current situation. If you can buy it, you can ship it back at least It will take one month!" Lin Yingming said with some embarrassment.

"It takes so long!?" Qin Yuanqing frowned slightly. The issue of money is a small issue. Let alone 500 million US dollars, even 1000 million US dollars is no problem. What he cares about is time. "Is there no electron gun with a power of 1T in China? ?”

"Yes, yes, as far as I know, Yanda Plasma Physics Laboratory has it!" Lin Yingming frowned. As an expert in this field, Lin Yingming knew the information well: "It's just that you also know that there is no relationship between us." To deal with it, Yanda is not necessarily willing to provide it!"

For a long time, Shuimu and Yanda have not dealt with it very well. After all, they are the top universities in China, and there is a relationship of competition. No one will accept the other. Everyone wants to firmly occupy the throne of China's number one university.

Originally, the two universities were close to each other, but since 2009, the balance has been tilted towards Mizuki, and Mizuki has embarked on the road of rapid development. Whether it is in terms of performance, financial resources, or international rankings, Yanda will be far away. Throwing aside, even the Department of Mathematics, which Yanda has always been proud of, was overwhelmed by the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu.

Especially at the beginning, Qin Yuanqing went to Yanda University and bombarded Yanda University, which made the gap between them even bigger. After all, Qin Yuanqing was the banner figure of Mizuki.

In the minds of ordinary people, Shuimu is already the well-deserved No. 12 university in China, dominating the list for [-] consecutive years, and now Shuimu is ranked seventh among the world's famous universities, Yanda can squeeze into the top [-], and the gap between them is still relatively large Yes, Shuimu has produced several Nobel Prize winners in recent years, but Yanda has not born a single Nobel Prize winner.

As some people have given examples, Shuimu’s Shahe campus covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu. The construction of the new campus is all funded by the school itself, and no funds have been asked from the superiors.The Shahe Campus of Yanda is only one-third of that of Shuimu, and the funding mainly comes from higher-level funds.

Over the years, there have been many nasty things that have happened between the two sides on common occasions!
If there is any Mizuki student who can pick up a talented girl from Yan University, then he will be a man of the school all at once.

One can imagine how difficult it is to borrow Yanda's most advanced electron gun under such circumstances.

Maybe even the door of Yan University can't get in!
Qin Yuanqing raised his eyebrows. How difficult is this? This is not a matter of Shuimu and Yanda, but a major national event. All individual interests must be subordinated to national interests. This is a matter of principle.

"Leave this to me!" Qin Yuanqing agreed to this matter.

Soon, Qin Yuanqing sent a letter to Yanda in the name of the headquarters of the 'Golden Crow Project', requesting Yanda to send a 1T electron gun to Shuimu Plasma Laboratory within three days of receiving the letter.

"Too much deception! Too much deception!" Yanda was so depressed that he vomited blood when he received this letter. You must know that their 1T power electron gun cost 700 million US dollars and they bought it after a lot of contacts. Made some achievements in plasma research.

It turned out to be a good thing, I haven't started using it yet, but I have to lend it to my nemesis instead!
What's even more frustrating is that you can't resist!

Unless you really don't want to mess around anymore, otherwise, you can only obey obediently!
The first-level official crushed people to death!

That's the reason!
As a university with strong strength in science in China, the 'Golden Crow Project' Yanda has also undertaken more than [-] research projects. Naturally, it is very clear about the power of the 'Golden Crow Project' headquarters. No matter whether it is a person or a thing, all orders must be obeyed unconditionally.

On the second day after receiving the letter, Yanda's electron gun was sent to Shuimu Plasma Laboratory, and Lin Yingming and others conducted debugging and inspection. After confirming that there was no problem, they finally started the experiment again!

Everyone worked at their respective positions, and then held their breath, for fear of disturbing the plasma in the vacuum chamber and the helium-3 particles that were about to be emitted.

Following Lin Yingming's command to start the experiment, the button was pressed.

The liquid helium passing through the gate gradually soaked the wire, and the conductor in the ultra-low temperature environment gradually approached the critical temperature of superconductivity.

The moment the temperature of the magnetic track reaches the superconducting critical temperature, the current passing through the superconducting coil begins to rise sharply, which prepares the initial velocity for the helium 3 atoms hovering in the track.

At the moment when the No. 1 signal light was on, the speed of the helium-3 atoms was increased to the limit, and at the same time, the "atomic gun" also completed its loading.

Then the second button is pressed, and the helium-3 atoms moving outside the orbit suddenly break away from the acceleration orbit and move to the launch orbit tangent to the acceleration orbit.

There is no sound, no phenomenon can be seen, everything is invisible.

However, at the moment when the atomic gun fired helium 3, the helium 3 atom accelerated to the limit, like a bullet out of the chamber, slammed into the scorching plasma with huge energy.

The electromagnetic wave signal collected by the detector has layers of jittering ripples.

A smile appeared on Qin Yuanqing's face. Through the electromagnetic wave signal, Qin Yuanqing already understood that this experiment was a success, and everything was as smooth and accurate as he imagined.
