Chapter 494 Special Spring Festival (seeking monthly ticket)
The way humans realize controllable nuclear fusion is not only magnetic confinement nuclear fusion based on tokamak and stellarator, but also ultrasonic nuclear fusion and laser confinement nuclear fusion.

Ultrasonic nuclear fusion is cold fusion and normal temperature fusion. Its theoretical basis is that when ultrasonic recavitation occurs, the physical conditions required for fusion can be achieved, resulting in a luminescent effect.As early as March 2002, 3, the American "Science" magazine published a paper on "ultrasonic nuclear fusion". The paper was written by a research team composed of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Russian Academy of Sciences. The research team made a large The effect of nuclear fusion is obtained in the laboratory by the internal explosion of small bubbles in the liquid contained in the beaker.

In the experiment, they used a deuterated acetone liquid, applied neutron pulses to the liquid to generate micro-bubbles, and used ultrasonic waves to continuously expand these bubbles. With the increase of ultrasonic intensity, the bubbles expanded to a certain size and then burst. At the same time, thousands of degrees of high temperature and local high pressure are generated, accompanied by a large number of shock waves, flashes and energy releases!
But this kind of ultrasonic nuclear fusion has always been controversial in the scientific community, and it is not the mainstream!

The mainstream of nuclear fusion research still lies in the two types of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion and laser-induced nuclear fusion.

Regardless of whether it is a tokamak or a stellarator, in the final analysis it is magnetic confinement nuclear fusion. This is the consensus of all countries in the world. It is generally believed that magnetic confinement nuclear fusion is the best method and way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

However, regarding the controllable nuclear fusion method of laser-induced nuclear fusion, since 1963 N. Basov and 1964 Chinese scientist Wang Jinchang independently proposed the concept of using laser irradiation on the fusion fuel target to achieve controllable thermonuclear fusion reaction. , opened up a new way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion reaction laser fusion.From the birth of this theory to the present, its vitality is strong. Even now, many countries are still studying laser nuclear fusion.

For laser nuclear fusion to uniformly heat fusion fuel pellets with a diameter of 1 mm to 1 million degrees, the energy of the laser must be greater than 1 million joules, which is technically difficult to achieve.However, laser technology is also developing rapidly. In 1972, after the American scientist J. Nuchols and others proposed the principle of centripetal implosion fusion, laser nuclear fusion became a parallel development of magnetic confinement fusion in the research of controllable thermonuclear fusion. research pathway.

In the past few decades, the United States has not invested much energy in magnetic confinement fusion, but has devoted a lot of energy to laser fusion, because laser fusion can not only be an inexhaustible clean energy source, but also It is undoubtedly the best choice for the United States to develop truly 'clean' nuclear weapons and partially replace nuclear tests.

Where the investment is, the results will be there!

The United States has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in laser nuclear fusion, and naturally it is also a world leader in this field.The United States not only has the world's largest 'Nova' laser, the world's most powerful X-ray simulator.Moreover, as early as 1998, the US Department of Energy began to launch the "National Ignition Device Project" at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.This military-civilian high-energy laser fusion research project is planned to be put into operation in 2003, with a total investment of 22 billion US dollars.Among them, 20 laser generators are large-scale key equipment for research work.

In 2012, the US National Ignition Facility (NIF) produced the world's largest laser beam, which was used to detonate a hydrogen isotope target, triggering nuclear fusion, producing much more energy than was input.

Not only the United States, France has also invested a lot of energy in laser nuclear fusion, but unlike the United States, which considers both military and civilian research, France's laser nuclear fusion research has militarization as its main goal. Since 1996, billions of dollars have been invested, and it took 20 years to build 240 laser generators in the Gironde. Focus on a target with a diameter of millimeters containing a small amount of deuterium and tritium, thereby achieving laser nuclear fusion.

However, from the perspective of the world at present, the magnetic confinement nuclear fusion method is the mainstream in the field of controllable nuclear fusion research. In the field of controllable nuclear fusion research, most scholars believe that the magnetic confinement nuclear fusion method is feasible and the most likely to achieve breakthrough.

In order to be able to seize the opportunity in controllable nuclear fusion, Germany invested heavily in the construction of the "Spiral Stone 7-X" device. This "Spiral Stone 7-X" entrusts the ambitions of Germany and even Europe. Once nuclear fusion is controlled, Europe will To get rid of the energy crisis and achieve energy independence, we may even take this opportunity to restore the glory of a hundred years ago. No matter how bad it is, we can truly realize the situation of the three kingdoms.

"Bach, we must not underestimate Professor Qin. He is too scary. He is not only a theorist, but also an applied scientist. Nothing is impossible with him!" Bather said earnestly: "We met The difficulties encountered may not be regarded as difficulties at all in Professor Qin's eyes. And don't forget, China is an infrastructure madman. Our "Screw Stone 7-X" construction lasted ten years, but it may only take two years in China. Years will do!"

As China's national strength continues to grow, especially last year's economic aggregate surpassed that of the United States, coupled with the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West in the past decade, Europe will no longer look at China from the perspective of decades ago, and its cognition of China continues to grow. The ground refreshed, and even set off an upsurge of provoking Chinese and studying oriental culture in Europe.

And Qin Yuanqing, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know what happened in Europe, even if he knew Qin Yuanqing didn't care.

At this time, he was in the scientific research center, making dumplings with the researchers and staff of the base to celebrate the Spring Festival.

In the scientific research base, there are deserts all around, filled with yellow sand, which can be described as a forbidden area for life. The dry climate makes everyone prefer to stay in the comfortable environment of the base rather than go out.But during the Spring Festival, it is inevitable to miss home and family. Under such circumstances, making dumplings, eating hot pot, and watching the Spring Festival Gala together have become the best entertainment mode, which can reduce everyone's psychological burden.

In this isolated place, information cannot be transmitted outside. Mobile phones can only use regional signals and cannot make calls outside. Computers all use local area networks.The TV and movies that can be watched are all reviewed, and everyone's entertainment is relatively monotonous, so they just watch movies, watch TV in the dormitory or cafeteria, or participate in some sports activities.

In this era of extreme material abundance, those who can give up the prosperity outside and choose to remain anonymous and unknown are worthy of admiration and cherishment.

They learn from their predecessors and contribute to the country with their own efforts and dedication. They are interpreting the spirit of dedication in the new era!

Just as everyone was making dumplings, Deputy Commander Zhao suddenly came to Qin Yuanqing's side and whispered in Qin Yuanqing's ear. I saw a few cars coming this way.

"Dean!" Qin Yuanqing saw a figure in the middle of the car, and his eyes were incredible. He did not expect that the dean would come to the base on New Year's Eve. You must know that it is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is still icy and snowy. Very nasty.

"Comrade Qin Yuanqing, let's go and spend an unforgettable Spring Festival with our comrades!" The dean smiled kindly.

Qin Yuanqing led the way, and everyone came to the big cafeteria. When they saw the dean, they all showed shock, and then gave out warm cheers and applause to welcome the dean's arrival.

"Comrades, you have worked hard!" The dean said emotionally: "I am gratified and proud that Huaxia has heroes who dare to take risks like you!"

After the dean finished speaking, the whole cafeteria erupted into warm applause and cheers, each and every one of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

Then the dean made dumplings with everyone, ate hot pot together, watched the Spring Festival Gala together, and spent this unforgettable Spring Festival Gala with everyone.

After 00:00, the dean bid farewell to everyone, and then came to an office with Qin Yuanqing.

"Dean, do you want to take a rest first?" Qin Yuanqing saw that the dean looked tired. Obviously, the nearly 70-year-old man couldn't take it anymore after running around like this.

"It's okay, I'll go back to the capital in an hour, and then I can rest on the plane." The director waved his hand and said, "Comrade Qin Yuanqing, how is the progress of the 'Golden Crow Project'? Is it going well? Is there anything I can do for you?" help?"

"Dean, the 'Golden Crow Project' project is progressing very smoothly. At present, more than 3 technologies have made historic breakthroughs in He30 atom probes, carbon nano-superconducting materials, and new magnetic confinement devices!" Qin Yuanqing reported the progress of the project Progress: "It is expected that before the Spring Festival next year, the 'Golden Crow Device' will conduct its first experiment! The first experiment is set for [-] minutes, achieving a historic breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion!"

Qin Yuanqing is full of confidence in this. 30 minutes is the goal of "Screw Stone 7-X", but it is the start of the "Golden Crow Project". 30 minutes is only a preliminary commercial value, but Qin Yuanqing's goal is not controllable nuclear fusion. It is initially commercialized, but controllable nuclear fusion is truly commercialized.

30 minutes, 1 hour, was never Qin Yuanqing's goal.

If it is just this goal, then the 'Golden Crow Project' definitely does not need 1000 billion scientific research funds, not even 100 billion scientific research funds!
As for the places where the dean's help is needed, there is no need for it. Since the establishment of the headquarters, the power of the headquarters has been very large.The problems encountered now are all technical problems. The technology needs technical personnel to solve it, and it is difficult for others to help.

Whether it's controllable nuclear fusion, anti-gravity, or the 'Double Ring Space Station', as long as the funds are guaranteed, the rest needs to be solved by technicians. Only by technicians to research and achieve technological breakthroughs can the final achievement be achieved!
