Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Sheng Xianfu stayed.

When he submitted his dissertation, he even made plans to be ironic.

However, I did not expect that his imaginary ideas could be recognized by Lu Zhou.

"Cold nuclear fusion is not a joke proposition. In fact, many things that cannot be done are not because it is wrong, but because we don't know enough about the universe."

Standing up from his desk, Lu Zhou walked to the solar system picture hanging at the corner of the office wall, and his eyes fell on the flame that has been burning for billions of years.

"Just like we can't fully understand the source of stellar power."

In a sense, the fusion reaction that occurs inside the star is also a form of cold nuclear fusion, but it does not look like "cold" as people can understand.

If nuclear fusion is to be achieved, the two protons must have sufficient energy to overcome the Coulomb barrier, so that the distance between the nucleus and the nucleus is less than 10 ^ -14 meters. To reach this distance, the thermal kinetic energy of a single nucleus must reach at least the energy level of mev.

However, in fact, the average thermokinetic energy of the nucleus inside the star only hits the energy level of kev.

A very intuitive order of magnitude comparison can prove that thermokinetic energy alone cannot overcome the Coulomb barrier to promote nuclear fusion. Even considering the effect of gravity, the fusion reaction inside a star is strictly unscientific.

From the perspective of classical mechanics, it is difficult to explain this "unscientific" phenomenon.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a concept in quantum mechanics.

That is, the quantum tunneling effect.

Although this concept may sound a bit obscure, in fact, as long as you understand the principle of wave-particle duality and uncertainty, it is not difficult to understand its connotation.

In quantum mechanics, all research objects are in an uncertain state, and their determined range meets a relationship.

Take a small ball commonly used in classic mechanics as an example. A small ball is placed in front of a mountain. According to the concept of classic mechanics, you can only cross the mountain when the speed of the ball is large enough. If it's not fast enough, it may run out on the mountainside and run out of kinetic energy, eventually rolling where it comes from.

However, in quantum mechanics, even though the speed of the small ball may not be very high, it still has a certain probability to pass through when it rolls towards the mountain.

If this mountain is replaced by a potential barrier, and the ball is replaced by an atom, that is why the fusion reaction can occur in the star.

Although the energy of the nucleus is much smaller than the potential of the Coulomb barrier, due to the existence of the quantum tunneling effect, protons can still cross the Coulomb barrier and be put into the embrace of another proton. It is also because of this probabilistic combustion that stars can stably burn for billions of years, instead of exploding in an instant, exhausting all fuel.

"Cold nuclear fusion is actually feasible, or to put it more academically, it is theoretically possible to make fusion happen when the macroscopic conditions of fusion are not reached, but we have n’t Finding a suitable method did not advance the theory enough to fully reveal its mysteries. "

"To solve the miniaturization problem of controlled fusion, we must start from the essence, understand what a strong interaction is, and use a certain model to unify it with electromagnetic interaction," said Lu Zhou. The paper was also given to Sheng Xianfu, and after a pause, he continued, "If a strong model can be used to unify the strong and electromagnetic interactions, our project will be much smoother."

"In fact, I haven't given up research on the miniaturization of controlled fusion."

"Just because, theoretically, only I can do it right now."

...

Regarding the general solution of the Young Mills equation, Lu Zhou has made some progress, but several key difficulties remain unsolved. However, he was not in a hurry. There was still a report meeting to be held. After the report meeting was finished, he had enough time to think about this issue slowly.

In this way, time passed day by day, and soon it was May.

With the two courses of Computational Materials and Number Theory being completed one after another, Lu Zhou is now waiting for a few students to publish a dissertation, and then they can receive system task rewards.

What is more interesting is that he found that the reward task is more Buddhist than the previous task, and there is no stipulated time for receiving the reward. In theory, if he doesn't want to complete, he can even pull a few students to brush up the total number of impact factors before handing in the task.

However, it didn't seem to be interesting to continue dragging.

Compared with a little impact factor, only 1000 points are free to experience 10 points, even if it is thousands, it is only 100,000.

However, this is obviously impossible.

Lu Zhou has already made up his mind and can publish as many papers as possible before June. Even if it's too late, he's almost rested in the past six months. It's better to start the next task early.

Three days before the report, Professor Klaus von Klitzing from Germany arrived in Jinling ahead of time. Under the experimental building of the Academy of Science and Technology of Jindaxin Campus, he encountered Lu Zhou who had just returned from the last computing materials class .

"I haven't seen you in a long time," gave Professor Lu Zhou a warm hug, Professor Keli Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that it would be less than two years. Your name must be given to the old fellows of the Nobel Prize selection committee. I have a headache. "

Lu Zhou smiled: "Maybe."

"No, maybe, in short, whether or not they will consider a scholar who has just won a Nobel Prize, I will nominate you for it," said here, Professor Klitzing suddenly smiled and continued, "Speaking of this, come this time Before Hua Hua, Professor Kreiber asked me to bring you a sentence. "

"Uh, what's that?"

"He said you're a terrible opponent," shrugged, and Professor Klitzing said with a smile. "He said that the last thing he regrets in this life is to show off his laboratory. Thanks to you, he is now economically and The technical department has been anxious. The bureaucrats in the technical department saw that you can solve this problem with your fingers, and thought that controllable nuclear fusion is actually a very simple thing ... It is said that they met last time, Spiral 7- The engineers in the x laboratory almost got into a fight with the secretary of the technical department. "

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou coughed embarrassedly.

"This ... I'm sorry. If he feels unfair, I'll take him to visit the Jinling Advanced Institute in the future."

"Haha, I'm just kidding," Klizin patted his shoulder with a smile. "He doesn't hate you, even ... thank you very much. After all, without your plasma turbulence model, now imitate the stars The research on the device is probably still in a state of being marginalized. Not to mention a different position. If his laboratory first completed controlled fusion, I think he would probably make the same choice. "

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression, "I hope my research will not cause him trouble."

"How could that be? And, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future," Klizin smiled, and continued. "Several major members of the iter have reached agreements with China, and they have reached many controversial issues and technology in the industrial field. Exchange on the Internet. About five years, the content of the agreement will be gradually implemented. "

After hearing Keli Qing's words ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Lu Zhou nodded.

Five years is a good buffer period.

Because I ’m not sure if this problem can be solved in the short term, other countries are naturally unwilling to use their own chips for exchange too soon, and the Chinese side also does not want controllable fusion technology to be prematurely changed by others. To master while losing their dominant position in the field.

Of course, there is a consensus that everyone knows that permanent confidentiality is impossible.

In particular, civil technology, such as controlled fusion, is destined for large-scale use. Unless it is used in the palm of your hand, or it is completely closed to the national gate, wait until the rollout of the controllable fusion power plant and the cross-region power grid project. Many possibilities will lead to the loss of technology.

Cooperating with the three-year popularization of the controllable fusion power station, the supply of more than 80% of the country's strategic planning, the use of controllable fusion technology for five years to exchange political, technical and other benefits to other countries is the choice to maximize benefits.

In the past five years, a lot of things have happened ...
