If conventional power is used, if you want to keep floating in the air, the energy consumption is extremely terrible. Always use a transport plane to transport and burn it, which becomes a waste of money and is not practical at all.

Zhao Yi thought about it and asked, "So, Academician Chen, are there any technical difficulties in the research of nuclear fusion devices?"

He continued, "The space barrier area, using the space cover as an isolation layer, will reduce the difficulty of control a lot, right?"

Chen Zeshu nodded and said, "We did an experiment in the space barrier area, but the difficulty of ignition became very high. We just successfully completed the ignition. Later, for some reason, the reaction did not happen normally."

"I'm pretty sure the ignition is complete!" He emphasized, shaking his head helplessly, "We speculate that the space barrier area can effectively control nuclear fusion, but it also limits the occurrence of reactions."

"Theoretically, the space shield's ability to isolate energy conduction can become the best isolation device for nuclear fusion devices. However, the control of nuclear fusion reactions is still a difficult problem. According to the existing theory, only magnetic control methods can be used, but it is very difficult to control the fusion reaction." Not realistic."

He was referring to the money invested.

To build a magnetically controlled nuclear fusion device requires a huge amount of money. A simple test machine in the Nuclear Energy Research Institute also cost hundreds of millions of investment, but there is no gain at all. The experimental process can be said to be full of loopholes.

Internationally, it is believed that the cost of building a complete nuclear fusion magnetic control device is calculated in hundreds of billions.

This is just theoretical data.

Because nuclear fusion involves many other difficulties, building a magnetic control device alone cannot complete the nuclear fusion reactor, and it may even be useless. After it is built, it can still only be used as a test product, and the cost is too high.

Zhao Yi frowned, and grasped the key point of the words, "Academician Chen, you completed the ignition in the last experiment, but the reaction didn't happen?"

"Correct!"

Chen Zeshu thought that Zhao Yi didn't believe it, so he immediately said, "Everyone who participated can prove it."

Zhao Yidao, "Academician Chen, I don't doubt you, but I think this is a normal situation."

"Normal situation?" Chen Zeshu didn't understand.

"It's normal. My theory speculates that the space barrier has an effect on the particle speed. In the space barrier area, the particle speed will be limited. This limitation will increase with the effect of the space barrier, but it is not proportional. Theoretically, the maximum limit can only be doubled."

"For example, at a certain temperature, the speed of particles is one-tenth of the speed of light, so under the influence of space barrier, the maximum speed is only one-twentieth."

"If the speed of the particle exceeds the limit, it will be affected and slowed down."

"In other words, the change of space barrier effect can directly affect the speed of nuclear fusion reaction. If the effect suddenly increases, the speed of nuclear fusion reaction will slow down, and under the fixed space barrier effect, the intensity of nuclear fusion reaction has an upper limit of."

Zhao Yi said very seriously, "Of course, I don't know much about nuclear fusion reactions, so I can only give a rough idea. What the specific upper limit is, still needs to be verified by experiments, but I think that in the space barrier area, nuclear fusion reactions It's controllable!"

Chapter 559 Our satellite's orbit has deviated!

When deciding to carry out the anti-gravity nuclear experiment, Zhao Yi only speculated that the space barrier might affect the nuclear reaction through the study of space, but to what extent it will be affected, a real experiment is still needed to give a conclusion.

After the anti-gravity nuclear test was carried out, the experimental results brought a lot, which laid the foundation for the subsequent discovery of the space cover.

In fact, the life up to this point is only limited to the research of the space barrier formed by photons, and does not involve the real space analysis.

It is different now.

The thirteen sets of formulas of photons and space provide a detailed analysis of the relationship between photons and space, and at the same time let Zhao Yi have a better understanding of space and know some characteristics.

For example, when the space squeeze effect is weakened, it will not affect the maximum speed of massless particles, that is to say, particles such as photons and neutrinos can still achieve the speed of light in the space barrier area.

But the particles with mass, because of the impact of the weakening of space squeeze, the maximum speed will be limited.

In fact, it is also easy to understand that the space squeeze comes from all directions, inside and outside the particle. Only with the continuous effect of the squeeze force can the activity of the particle be improved, otherwise the activity of the particle will decrease, just like a fish in water. They can swim freely in the water, and in the air with less pressure, it is impossible to swim.

This example is not very appropriate, but it can also be used to help understand.

In short, Zhao Yi has a better understanding of space, so he can be sure that there will be an upper limit to the maximum speed of particles in the space barrier area.

Without the influence of space barrier, the highest speed of particles is the speed of light, which leads to nuclear fusion reaction. There is almost no controllable upper limit, and the reaction process must be controlled.

If there is an upper limit to the maximum velocity of the particles, then the reaction rate will be stabilized, which will also stabilize the fusion rate.

Of course.

As for the relationship between space barrier and particle velocity, Zhao Yi can't calculate it, because he still doesn't know much about nuclear physics, and the specific data still depends on experiments.

Hearing what Zhao Yi said, Chen Zeshu was a little excited, and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Yi nodded affirmatively.

Chen Zeshu frowned and said in thought, "If there is an upper limit to the speed of particles in the space-barrier area, theoretically, nuclear fusion is stable, but it still depends on the specific upper limit."

"If the upper limit is acceptable, anyway, in the process, we only need to ensure that the space barrier effect is stable."

"Then the nuclear fusion device will no longer have unsolvable technical difficulties~~"

At the end of Chen Zeshu's speech, his tone became agitated. He has been engaged in related research and knows very well the difficulty of a controllable nuclear fusion device, which is to control and confine the state of nuclear fusion.

One is to constrain the reaction speed.

Nuclear fusion is an exponential explosive reaction. For example, the reaction between deuterium or hydrogen nuclei collides with each other, and the temperature is as high as 5000 million degrees Celsius. The fusion reaction of deuterium and deuterium requires a high temperature of [-] million degrees Celsius.

It is precisely because of the very harsh reaction conditions that there is a saying that 'an atomic bomb ignites a hydrogen bomb'.

This is the 'Ignition' difficulty.

After the ignition is completed, the nuclear fusion will react quickly, for example, at the beginning, two nuclei react, two will conduct to four, four will conduct to eight, and so on, the exponential explosion will grow rapidly , the temperature quickly reached an uncontrollable level.

If you don't control it at all, it will be the principle of the hydrogen-bomb explosion.

Controllable nuclear fusion must be carried out in response to the reaction, but the exponential growth of the explosive reaction is very difficult to control.

The reaction rate is one aspect, and the other aspect is the reaction temperature.

When nuclear fusion occurs, the temperature will also rise rapidly. [-] million degrees Celsius is only the theoretical "particle temperature", which is an explanation of the particle speed and state, but because the particle density is not high, the temperature transmitted to the outer layer is just It's not that high, but the external temperature will also be greatly affected. If the temperature is not controlled well, it is easy to burn the device itself.

and many more.

The confinement problem of nuclear fusion is the biggest difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion. There are several ways to confine nuclear fusion. The most effective way is magnetic field confinement. Using magnetic field to confine particles can theoretically control nuclear fusion, but Creating a magnetic field capable of confining nuclear fusion requires a large amount of energy, perhaps even exceeding the output energy of the nuclear fusion device itself, regardless of the cost of consumption.

This is not worth the candle.

Any energy device that wants to realize its application must achieve an output greater than the input, that is, the output of the energy device must be greater than the input consumed to realize the energy supply.

The biggest problem with nuclear fusion devices is that it is too expensive to constrain and control fusion reactions.

If the problem of constraint control response is not considered, it becomes very easy to realize that the output of the device is greater than the input.

The other technical difficulties are nothing more than the design of ignition and energy output devices, including the matching with anti-gravity devices.

and many more.

These are all solvable problems.

Chen Zeshu suddenly became very excited. He confirmed with Zhao Yi several times before he believed that there was an upper limit to the speed of particles in the space barrier state, so he couldn't help but conduct the experiment immediately.

of course.

It is very complicated to involve nuclear fusion experiments, and it takes a long time to prepare for each experiment and consumes a lot of funds.

The senior leader in charge was right next to him, and he immediately said, "You heard it all, I think, the anti-gravity nuclear fusion experiment is about to start!"

The senior leader also took a deep breath, and he was also very excited, but it was not as obvious as Chen Zeshu's expression.

He nodded and said, "If it is confirmed, I will definitely support it with all my strength."

"You guys are applying, this is not a simple experiment, it also involves Dong Lihua's team, and... Academician Zhao!"

The senior leaders looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I have emphasized several times that in the space barrier area, the maximum speed of particles will be limited."

"And I'm pretty sure there's an upper limit to fusion reactions."

"There is absolutely no problem with this experiment and it must be done."

He said it very calmly.

In fact, Zhao Yi came to the Institute of Nuclear Energy to see how the development of nuclear devices is going. Nuclear fission devices are also an option, because the research on nuclear fission reactors has a foundation, and the development speed will be much faster.

Nuclear fusion devices are also one of the purposes, and it is an inevitable trend that nuclear fusion will replace nuclear fission in the future.

What he didn't expect was that if the nuclear fission device was directly denied, then he could only go ahead and directly study the nuclear fusion device.

Although the nuclear fusion reaction is controllable in the space barrier area, it is a brand-new research after all, without any reference materials, a series of problems will definitely be encountered during the research and development process, and the speed will be much slower.

Then the design and manufacture of the sky fortress will definitely be delayed.

This is the place to be sorry.

Zhao Yi is also looking forward to the Flying Fortress. He hopes to make it, see it with his own eyes, go up to experience it, and rely on his own theory to create a Flying Fortress. He is very excited just thinking about it.

It now appears to have to be postponed.

Of course.

In fact, it is very simple to realize. The anti-gravity team has been doing research. There have been several experiments to make the device float, and many relevant personnel have gone up to experience it.

However, Zhao Yi still hopes that what he boards is a real fortress, not an experimental device that can only float.

……

On the way back, the senior leaders had been talking with Zhao Yi about the nuclear fusion device. He seemed very excited because he understood what controllable nuclear fusion represented.

"That's the future!"

This statement appears vague.

In practice, controllable nuclear fusion represents an advanced domestic technology that can directly surpass foreign countries in terms of military power.

For example, nuclear power technology for large ships.

Only country M has complete nuclear power technology for large ships. If it can manufacture a controllable nuclear fusion device, it can manufacture a nuclear power device that is more efficient, has a longer service life, and has less pollution.

Then the country can form a direct overtake on the nuclear power plant of the ship, and can build a super large aircraft carrier with a higher tonnage and faster sailing speed.

This is only one aspect.

Controllable nuclear fusion devices have unlimited military application potential.

From the perspective of civilian use, the energy cost of controllable nuclear fusion devices may not necessarily be lower than that of fossil energy, but this technology represents the future. Fossil energy is limited after all, and the raw materials of controllable nuclear fusion can use the sea In hydrogen and deuterium, the raw materials can be said to be infinite.

and many more.

Just think deeply about how important controllable nuclear fusion is.

Of course.

It's all just imagination now.

Zhao Yi was not very interested in 'Imagination'. After talking to the senior leaders, he turned to the topic of reality, "Now the main thing is to develop a controllable nuclear fusion device. I think this research, at least Two years, still in the case of unimpeded design."

He meant to participate in the installation design himself.

Because it involves the space cover as the isolation layer and the space barrier as the reaction environment, it is impossible for him to escape the device design work.

But it takes two years, which feels like a long time.

The senior leaders opened their mouths in surprise and asked, "Only two years?"

"Two years, isn't that long enough?" Zhao Yi asked in surprise.

The senior leader felt that there seemed to be a huge difference in the concept of time between himself and Zhao Yi. He still said, "I estimate that it will take at least... ten years? Or 20 years?"

"Then you... cough cough!"

Zhao Yi wanted to say, 'Will you see us again', but when he thought about it, it seemed to be a curse, and his spoken words immediately became, "...then just watch it! We will definitely work hard and finish it within a few years , when the sky fortress is built, let's go up and have a look!"

The high-level leaders suddenly became very looking forward to it, and he could say that he had [-]% trust in Zhao Yi.

……

at the same time.

Public opinion is still fermenting. There are really all kinds of theories about the mysterious anti-gravity device, but one thing is certain is that the technology of the mysterious device is very advanced.

This can be seen from international trends.

Recently, the situation has obviously become tense, confrontation and contradiction have become the mainstream, and the focus is on the mysterious anti-gravity device.

Although there are many influential people who stand up and express their disdain for the mysterious device, the overall situation will not lie.

No matter what country it is, it attaches great importance to mysterious devices.

There is also a lot of pressure at home.

What should be done at this time is to properly expose the muscles to fight back, but how to expose is a problem.

In the internal targeted meeting, someone suggested maritime deterrence, but there is a certain gap between domestic naval ships, whether in terms of technical level or overall performance, which is really not convincing.

Then you can only show other aspects.
