Great Power Technology.

Chapter 517 The target ball is ready
Zhejiang University, BCI project building.

Chen Li's team is conducting adjustment tests on a new batch of experimenters, but a sudden top-secret document interrupts everyone's work.

The content of the document is not too complicated. Although it involves many detailed requirements and suggestions, it can be summed up in one sentence:

The BCI transmission technology will be rolled out on a large scale within one year, and the first batch of applications will be applied to workers in electric power, coal and energy industries.

In order to achieve this goal, the document requires the next step of the BCI project team to conduct tests in this group of people, collect enough samples, and form a usable technical template so that subsequent application work can be carried out in an orderly manner.

"Go directly to the stage of large-scale application, do you think there is a problem?"

Chen Li frowned slightly and asked.

This order came beyond everyone's expectations. Originally, according to their plan, the current stage of the experiment would last at least one to two years. After enough samples were collected, a large-scale promotion would be carried out.

But now, all plans need to be reworked.

"The problem of application is not so big. What I am more worried about is the issue of scientific ethics-this technology is too sensitive. If it is applied to some people first, it may cause some people to rebound."

"In addition, technically, we also face risks. Now we have only a small number of experimental samples, so we haven't found too many substantive problems. But what if there are technical problems that are difficult to solve after the scope of application is expanded?"

"It's a direct effect on the brain, and if something goes wrong, it could be fatal."

Hearing Zhu Xuan's words, Chen Li nodded and replied:
"These are real risks, and we will definitely have to expose them."

"However, this is not an issue we need to consider. There is only one thing we need to consider: whether it can be done technically."

"As long as it can be done, then we have to do it. As for matters such as risks, that is something that needs to be considered by the above."

After pausing for a moment, he continued to speak:
"So the current situation is that there is no technical difficulty in achieving it?"

Zhu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, while Chu Ya at the side raised her hand and said:
"There is a problem with personnel. If we want to expand on a large scale, then we don't have enough manpower now."

"You can apply for this. Since we are required to do it, all our resource needs will be met. Don't worry. Are there any other questions?"

The other two shook their heads together, Chen Li closed the document, and said:
"Okay, since there is no problem, then it's settled."

"Everyone, this time, our task is very heavy and important. Although we have not directly participated in the energy work, we will have a name in the history of future energy development."

"So, everyone must do their best, and don't hold back the brothers in other links."

"clear."

Everyone in the laboratory replied one after another.

At the same time, at Rongcheng Airport, a special plane from Ugly Country has just landed. There are only two main passengers at random, but there are as many as 15 security personnel, because the things they carry are very important to the whole world. .

This is a technical document of the inertial confinement nuclear fusion target pellet plus a sample of the target pellet. Due to the application of new materials, the two target pellets can be stored normally without freezing, but considering the hot weather in Chengdu, they are still used during transportation. In order to preserve it at a constant temperature, as soon as they got off the plane, the two scientific researchers who were in charge of escorting immediately set off for the Huawu Institute.

In the Huawu Academy, Ye Zhou and the Shenguang 8 team had already made preparations for the inspection. It took only [-] hours to complete the inspection of the target pellets, and the performance was proved to be all qualified.

In the office, Chen Hao flipped through the test report in his hand and said:
"I can't understand this report to be honest, but since you said there is no problem, it should be no problem."

"Now it seems that the Ugly people have really come back. In my impression, this should be the first time they have helped us in a major key project in the past 20 years, and it was still free of charge."

"I feel a bit uncomfortable. Before sending it for testing, we were worried about whether there was any poisonous substance or miniature bomb in it."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"How could it be possible to do such a small trick? The people who do the testing are ordinary scientific researchers. Objectively speaking, each of them contributes equally to this project. Even if there is a problem, it will not affect the progress of the entire project. .”

"What I'm worried about is whether the performance of this target pellet is as good as described in the technical documentation. After all, we can only verify it through actual ignition."

"If we can't meet the requirements, isn't it equivalent to tossing for nothing?"

While speaking, Ye Zhou stood up, seeing his movements, Chen Hao also got up and asked:

"Are you going to install the target ball now?"

"Isn't that now? After the installation is complete, we will do a final inspection, and we can start the ignition-now our time, that can save a day."

While talking, the two walked towards the target room of the Shenguang No. [-] device, where the first wall had been opened, and the staff were carefully making the final preparations on the temporary workbench beside it.

Watching their actions, Chen Hao asked curiously:
"What does that mean? Just stick it with tape?"

Ye Zhou glanced at the workbench, and replied with some amusement:
"This is a thin film plastic sheet, which is used to fix the target pellet, and it will be ablated after ignition. Otherwise, how do you think it is fixed? There is no support in the vacuum chamber of the fusion device."

"Although the principle of this step is simple, it requires high precision. Before the old devices had no active adjustment function, many operations in this step had to be accurate to the micron level. Now laser equipment can achieve optical path deflection in a very small range. Only then did the accuracy requirements drop.”

"Okay, I'm a layman."

Chen Hao sighed with emotion, and then quietly stood aside.

As he said, for this work, he is a complete layman, and it is impossible for him to be of any help, but as a witness, there is still an indescribable emotion surging in his heart.

There are expectations and emotions in this emotion, but more of it is unbelievable.

When he was very young, he had already learned the concept of nuclear fusion from various books and film and television works. At that time, it was still a purely theoretical idea, and most of the explanations were only related to celestial bodies—— Or related to the sun.

At that time, he already knew that the sun is a celestial body undergoing nuclear fusion continuously, and that such energy is the basis for all life to exist, but he didn't know how such fusion came about, nor did he know how to get rid of it Take advantage of it.

But suddenly, in this very room where he was standing, a small artificial sun was about to appear.

The last time he felt this way was when he was revisiting 2001: A Space Odyssey. In that movie, humans have gone into space and established bases on other planets, but the spacecraft still uses the original button-type operation method , There are many screens, but you can't see a touch screen.

And now, my childhood vision of the future may also be completely shattered - what this technology brings is definitely not just as simple as an energy revolution.

With the arrival of sufficient energy, there may be a series of power-related application technology innovations, and then, from electricity to kinetic energy, and then from kinetic energy to mechanical energy. Even if it is only according to the most conservative assumptions, it will truly move mountains and reclamation , is also likely to become a reality.

Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, Ye Zhou patted his shoulder lightly and said:

"The preparations are done, and the first wall will be completely closed soon."

"Next, wait for the final ignition."

(It’s really not that I want to break the chapter. I had a meeting for a day today, and I was so angry that I resigned directly)
