Super black technology island

Chapter 183 Cold Nuclear Fusion
Du Gang slipped away very quickly.

As for the spare parts that Wang Chen needs to help process, just make a list, and Du Gang will help to contact them.

Watching Du Gang leave, Wang Chen also smiled and sat on the sofa.

I don't worry about not being able to sell these two things at all.

Leaving aside the bulletproof vests, just this individual mecha, no matter how expensive it is, will definitely be needed.

With this physique, it shouldn't be a problem for a Jinyiwei to carry three to five anti-tank tubes.

Relying on the high mobility of the mecha, the tank, the king of land warfare, would be killed if he didn't even see him face to face.

In fact, the design of the mecha has not been changed too much. It is estimated that in a week at most, I can get a full set of drawings.

Then the factory can start producing related spare parts.

Now Wang Chen's main energy has been drawn from the individual mecha and this special alloy.

With the help of artificial intelligence, many things no longer need to be done by Wang Chen himself.

In this case, Wang Chen also decided to officially start the research of the new project on March [-]th.

This time, what Wang Chen intends to study is the "nuclear fusion project" that has been delayed for some time.

This time, we can't delay any longer. The issue of energy is already related to the core development of the company in the future.

Especially after the construction of the island is completed, the power problem must be solved.

Not to mention entering the universe in the future, the cost cannot be reduced without unlimited energy.

The current global nuclear fusion technology is actually developing very fast.

In addition to hydrogen energy, which has no characters, the most promising energy source for human beings is nuclear fusion.

A great advantage of nuclear fusion is lower consumption. A 1000-megawatt thermal power plant consumes 9000 tons of coal per day, which is equivalent to the train load of 120 wagons.

If a power plant with the same power generation capacity uses nuclear fusion, it only needs to consume 27 tons of fuel per year, and processing and refining these nuclear fuels requires 270 tons of raw uranium, which is the amount of two wagons.So only in terms of consumption quality, the difference between the two is as much as 14000 times.

Not to mention that nuclear fusion has a wide range of sources of raw materials, and the fuels required are hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium.Deuterium can be obtained in seawater, where one out of every 6000 hydrogen atoms is deuterium, and tritium can be produced by irradiating lithium.

If we can extract all the deuterium in seawater, then we will get about 10 tons of deuterium, which is far more than the reserves of coal, oil or natural gas on the earth.

Even if one hundred millionth of the total amount can be obtained each time, it is enough for all human beings to use it for many years.

There are currently more than 30 private companies engaged in fusion technology in the world; 18 companies that have disclosed their financing have received a total of more than 24 billion US dollars in financing.

This is not counting the research and development organization of the housekeeper.

The biggest difficulty in researching this technology is how to confine the fusion charged plasma at a temperature of about 1 million Kelvin (much hotter than the center of the sun).

The mainstream technology now uses magnetic fields to confine and levitate the plasma inside the reactor.But because the plasma is so unstable, its confinement is so difficult that fusion reactions have so far been unable to sustain long enough for the energy output to be greater than the input.

Temperature control is an important difficulty in obtaining nuclear fusion, which is far more difficult than the current high-tech crystallization lithography machine on the earth.

As the world's most sophisticated equipment and the crystallization of the most cutting-edge technology of all mankind, the equipment and technology on the lithography machine are combined with the research results of dozens of top companies around the world. The boss of ASML once said that no country can manufacture lithography machines alone.

But even so, if the country is determined to do it, it will take about 5 years to produce results, and the most advanced lithography machines will definitely be produced within 10 years.As for controllable nuclear fusion, Mao Xiong had already started research in 1968, but if he wants to fully grasp it, scientists can only answer that they hope to see it in their lifetime.

Mao Xiong built the first "tokamak device" in 1954. This device is equivalent to a small reactor on Iron Man's chest. Although it is small, it can provide huge energy, which also established the direction of global nuclear fusion research and development.

In 1968, the bear scientist obtained plasma through the "tokamak device", which was the first time in human history to obtain plasma.

But after so many years, nuclear fusion research is still in a theoretical state.

Even if Wang Chen is now on the hook, he can't ignore the current technological background.

In Wang Chen's view, nuclear fusion under normal conditions is basically difficult to achieve, and even if it is possible, the cost will be very high.

Because it wants to output energy stably at such a high temperature, the requirements for materials are too high.

Therefore, the method Wang Chen intends to adopt is not conventional nuclear fusion technology.

It's a technology called "cold fusion."

Cold fusion, also known as cold nuclear fusion, is the colloquial term used for the more formal name "low energy nuclear reaction" and falls within the category of nuclear science of condensed matter.

At present, the world is still in a hypothetical state for cold nuclear fusion.

After all, I haven't even figured out thermonuclear fusion, especially cold fusion is so easy to get started?

Indeed, if it is a cold nuclear technology that can be equated to thermonuclear fusion, then the things needed are not something that Wang Chen can handle now.

However, if it is a beggar's version of the method, there is still a chance to get nuclear fusion out.

And at a very low cost.

Everyone knows that the biggest problem with thermonuclear fusion is temperature.

But the wonder of nature is that when it presents a problem, it also buries the needed solution.

If normal channels cannot control thermonuclear fusion, there are still some hidden methods.

For example, a formula recorded in the library in my mind.

It is by refining a special catalyst that the nuclear fusion material can undergo a fusion reaction at a certain temperature.

This is the product of other civilizations studying cold nuclear fusion, but in the eyes of that civilization, this product is really not worth mentioning to them who have mastered thermonuclear fusion technology.

Because although this catalyst can force the material to fuse, it will damage the energy of fusion.

Assuming that the normal fusion power is one hundred, and the ones fused in this way are less than sixty.

The conversion rate has almost reached half.

Just because people don't like it doesn't mean that the earth doesn't like it now.

Before everyone has found the correct way to use thermonuclear fusion, this beggar's version of fusion can still play a huge role.

After all, the total amount of nuclear fusion energy is placed there, and it is not for space jumping. It is still a huge amount of energy after four layers are lost.

It is fully capable of supporting the earth for development within the solar system.

As a transitional technology, it is already very good.

Wang Chen also consulted a lot of information before deciding to take this technology as the main development direction.

There is no way, the earth's resources are too few, and after entering the universe, many so-called problems on the earth are actually not problems at all.

Let's go out first.
