Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 293 This actually works!
A large-scale elemental resistance experimental base.

Song Baoguo led the team here.

His team has nearly fifty people in total, including a dozen computer, equipment and material engineers in addition to the core research group, so the staff size is relatively large.

When they arrived at the base, they also brought a lot of small precision equipment, most of which were needed for high-temperature ion confinement. After the small tokamak magnetic confinement device was dismantled, many of the equipment lost their meaning, so they were simply brought along.

With so many people coming to the base, the base suddenly became lively.

Many people were discussing new experimental research, and Song Baoguo would also say a few words to others, but the information he revealed was "unclear", "very little known", and "no confirmed news".

In fact, Song Baoguo still knew some information.

These are just fragments of information, but when put together, it makes people feel that the experiment is very dangerous.

For example, the experiment is 'Study of Confined Hydrogen Bomb Reaction'.

Putting aside what Tang Hua said, he also knew about the experiments conducted by Tong Zhiguo.

In the element resistance experiment, there is no direct information on what the specific "element resistance" is, but the experimental process is still known.

Simply put, it is to use particle anti-aircraft weapons to attack ultra-high temperature single-element particles.

The entire experimental process is carried out in a completely sealed vacuum environment.

Song Baoguo didn't know much about ion-to-air weapons, but he had read a lot of domestic and international news, including pictures of satellites being attacked on the Internet.

High temperature, smoke, and the satellite was burned into metal wreckage...

Needless to say, its power!
Song Baoguo also knew that every time an experiment was conducted, core researchers such as Tong Zhiguo and Lu Ling would flee forty kilometers to a place where there would be no impact and wait for the results.

What does this mean?
There is no doubt that this means that the risk of the experiment is very high and it may cause a violent explosion, so it is necessary to escape forty kilometers to be safe.

Forty kilometers!
Even if a hydrogen bomb exploded, forty kilometers would be enough to ensure safety.

"Sure enough, it's very dangerous!"

"It seems that the new experiment is even more dangerous. A new experiment, a large team, a controlled hydrogen bomb reaction... and they are also talking about researching battery technology?"

"Containing nuclear fusion has not yielded any results, so how can we confine hydrogen bombs?"

"Isn't this seeking death?"

Song Baoguo felt uneasy when he thought about participating in the experiment and commanding it from the front line.

He regretted it, but couldn't leave.

It’s not because I’m unpatriotic or lack a sense of dedication, but mainly because I was not mentally prepared before receiving the mission.

After all, he was just a scholar, an experimental physicist.

This kind of research is horrible!

……

After Song Baoguo's team arrived, they waited for another half a month. The tokamak magnetic confinement device was still being transported, but all the personnel participating in the experiment had already arrived at the base.

The personnel have been assembled.

Zhang Shuo also decided to hold an internal meeting for new experimental research.

All researchers will participate.

This was not a temporary decision, but one that had been decided long ago, so Teacher Li also came, bringing with him personnel from the military, other departments, and several veteran academicians and scholars.

Professor Li is very concerned about the research, but he personally still feels that the research on hydrogen bomb batteries is "unreliable".

But the research was after all announced by Zhang Shuo, and according to Zhang Shuo, it seemed to be going very smoothly, and the most important "harmony" material had already been researched.

Now we are moving on to the next step of 'hydrogen bomb battery technology research'. We also need to bring the team here to listen to the principles and let others help judge whether the technology is really feasible.

Although I'm not optimistic, but what if?
Hydrogen bomb battery!
With such technology, China can become the dominant power in the sky, thereby supporting even greater breakthroughs in aerospace.

Whether it is aviation or aerospace, there will be no rivals in the future.

With such a vision, even if there is only one percent of hope, we should come and take a look.

Most of the people brought by Teacher Li will participate in the meeting, but they are not participants in the experiment.

The participants in the experiment were mainly divided into two teams.

One is Song Baoguo’s team.

The other is the experimental personnel at the base headed by Lu Ling, including Tong Zhiguo. A small part of them are the original members of Tong Zhiguo's team, and the rest are scholars from other institutions who were recruited by the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry to participate in the experiment.

Tong Zhiguo cannot be assigned to either of the "two teams" because he is the person in charge of the experiment, and his position is higher than that of Song Baoguo and Lu Ling.

During the meeting, Tong Zhiguo also sat with Teacher Li.

Then, it was Song Baoguo and Lu Ling.

The two were sitting together.

After arriving at the base for half a month, Song Baoguo and Lu Ling have not communicated much. Firstly, the latter is always busy, and secondly, there is not much commonality in the research of both parties.

Now sitting together waiting for the meeting, Song Baoguo couldn't help but ask, "Professor Lu, we still don't know the specific research, do you know?"

"Can you tell me something?"

Lu Ling looked over in confusion.

Song Baoguo looked around and whispered, "It is said that there are risks? Is it to restrain the hydrogen bomb?"

Lu Ling thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know the specific experimental principles either."

"The meeting will start soon. Academician Zhang Shuo should be speaking."

"However, our research has always been very risky." He raised the corners of his mouth with pride. "For example, during one experiment, a huge explosion occurred. It was very dangerous."

"But, it doesn't matter."

“For important research, even if there are risks, it must be done!”

"Now our team is focused on research. We will do whatever we are asked to do, even if it means risking our lives!"

The last sentence is powerful and righteous.

Lu Ling was also worried about the risks of the experiment, but this was how he had to present it to the outside world.

In addition, he has been engaged in experimental research and knows more information than Song Baoguo.

When they decided to conduct the experiment, Zhang Shuo had already explained the risks. The research principle was relatively complicated and their team still didn't understand it, but they had an assessment of the risks.

To put it bluntly, it is much less risky than the element resistance experiment.

One is just researching the technology and conducting technical experiments. The raw materials for nuclear fusion filling are not much, not enough to cause a high-intensity explosion.

Secondly, the outer layer of the tokamak is sufficient to confine the ultra-high temperature plasma, and the temperature is controlled to maintain below 3000 million degrees Celsius.

When the temperature exceeds 3000 million degrees Celsius, the experiment will be forced to pause.

Spontaneous nuclear fusion reactions require a temperature of up to 100 million degrees Celsius. However, 30 million degrees Celsius is not enough for the internal raw materials to react spontaneously, and there is naturally no way an instantaneous explosion can occur.

In other words, the experiment was safe.

After ensuring safety, Tong Zhiguo and Lu Ling became much calmer.

When talking about the experiment with the unfamiliar Song Baoguo, he certainly showed his fearless spirit of sacrificing his life and blood for research and putting his own safety aside.

As for the specific research...

No technical meeting had been held before, and Zhang Shuo had not given a detailed explanation. Lu Ling only had a general understanding and was still vague about some parts, so he had no way of telling Song Baoguo.

Song Baoguo felt lonely after listening to it, and as if he had become a person who was afraid of death, and his mood suddenly became bad.

"This guy is hard to talk to!"

This was the impression Lü Ling left on Song Baoguo, and there was no further communication. Zhang Shuo, Xue Baikun, and Wang Qiang came to the meeting room together.

Zhang Shuo exchanged a few pleasantries with Teacher Li and others, then walked up to the podium and said, "This is a technical meeting."

"First of all, I welcome the Tomakkak nuclear reactor research team, and I would also like to thank the Institute of Nuclear Research for its equipment support..."

Everyone applauded.

Song Baoguo stood up on behalf of the team and waved to everyone.

After the introduction, Zhang Shuo continued, "That's enough of the formalities. Today I'm going to tell you about the experimental work."

He controlled the computer to project the image, opened the PPT page and introduced, "The experiment is to study 'hydrogen bomb battery technology'. To be more precise, it should be called 'nuclear fusion battery technology'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.

Many people asked about the content of the research, but were still surprised when they actually heard it.

Nuclear fusion battery?
Controlled nuclear fusion has not yet been achieved, so how can we directly study nuclear fusion battery technology?
This span is really too big!
“I know a lot of people are a little bit unconvinced.”

"But the new technology we are studying needs to be considered from a new physical direction, rather than the traditional tokamak spiral magnetic field confinement."

"The confined reaction method we use is not confinement. To be precise, it is to promote nuclear fusion by adjusting the strong environment stimulated by the material."

"One piece of data will make it clear to everyone."

"In our experiment, we hope to achieve an internal temperature between 1500 and 1600 million degrees Celsius..."

After these words were spoken, the uproar in the meeting hall grew louder.

A basic common sense is that the spontaneous reaction of nuclear fusion requires 100 million degrees Celsius. That is why there is a saying that "hydrogen bombs need atomic bombs to ignite".

The ultra-high temperature generated by the instantaneous explosion of an atomic bomb can ignite a hydrogen bomb, causing it to achieve a spontaneous exponential chain reaction.

Not to mention 1600 million degrees Celsius, even at 9000 million degrees Celsius, the nuclear fusion reaction will spontaneously interrupt.

Some people present knew the information, but they didn't react much.

For example, Lu Ling and Tong Zhiguo.

Some people who just found out about it were very surprised and didn't understand.

Song Baoguo and the researchers in his team had completely different reactions. Some looked confused, while others frowned.

Song Baoguo belonged to the latter. He frowned at first, thought about it carefully, and then seemed to suddenly realize something, his face full of surprise.

He got it.

1500 to 1600 million degrees Celsius, he knew very well what this temperature range represented.

Simply put, nuclear fusion is converted into electricity.

That was the experiment their team conducted with Zhang Shuo, in which strong electromagnetic signals were detected in several temperature ranges.

1500 million to 1600 million degrees Celsius is one of the temperature ranges, and it is a very important temperature period.

In this range, very strong electromagnetic signals were detected. It cannot even be called a signal, but rather direct strong electric force.

Although it is only instantaneous, the instantaneous output of high-power electricity means that as long as the temperature is kept within the range, electricity can be output continuously.

In this way, Song Baoguo has roughly understood the technical principles.

By using so-called 'regulating materials', the internal nuclear fusion reaction is maintained at 1500 to 1600 million degrees Celsius, thereby outputting a continuous supply of electricity.

What exactly is the "regulating material" and how does it work?

None of this matters.

Zhang Shuo has already talked about adjusting materials, which means that adjusting materials must have some effects. At the same time, many conclusions can be drawn.

First of all, the experiment is safe because the temperature range is still far from the spontaneous reaction of nuclear fusion, and the outer layer of the Tomaq device is sufficient to confine the reaction.

The second study is promising, not a 'dangerous, unfeasible' experiment.

Of course, the premise is that the conditioning material is effective.

Two points are enough.

really.

When Zhang Shuo talked about the experiment, the overall situation was the same as what Song Baoguo had imagined.

"The experiment will use regulating materials to keep the reaction going..."

"Within a fixed temperature range, electricity can be continuously output."

The last sentence left many people confused.

For example, Lu Ling.

Zhang Shuo did not go into further detail. He just wanted everyone to have a basic understanding so that they would know how to participate in the experimental work later, rather than explaining the technology of every part.

Lu Ling was confused as to how the electricity could be exported by keeping it within the temperature range?

Zhang Shuo had almost finished speaking and did not explain this question.

Lu Ling turned his head and noticed that Song Baoguo looked surprised, obviously he understood.

He couldn't help but ask, "Professor Song, Academician Zhang said that by maintaining the temperature range, electricity can be output... Why?"

Song Baoguo suppressed his joy, turned around and smiled gently, "Professor Lu, we have also cooperated with Academician Zhang Shuo, and it was an in-depth cooperation."

"Your question is related to one of our studies."

"But, having said that, the principle is not important. What is important is the scientific research spirit that is not afraid of danger and is willing to make sacrifices."

"Our team has been doing research with Academician Zhang. We do whatever Academician Zhang asks us to do."

"Whether there are risks or not, even if you don't understand the principles, it doesn't matter. In short, you must take the experiment seriously..."

"Ula Ula~~~"

Song Baoguo said a lot of things in succession.

Lu Ling's face turned dark as he listened. He felt like he was just listening in vain, as there was no real content at all.

There were other people at the scene who understood.

For example, the several experts and scholars brought by Teacher Li.

They are all older and work as "academic advisors". They have done their homework before coming and have an understanding of new technologies and new physics.

As for my personal research results, there is definitely not much.

But they understand every technology in the new physics direction and can hear something from the experiments that Zhang Shuo talks about.

During the meeting, a scholar said to Professor Li in surprise, "According to what Academician Zhang said, the core of the research is to adjust the materials."

“If the regulatory material is effective, there will be no other barriers that cannot be crossed.”

"Then, we can master hydrogen bomb battery technology and even manufacture hydrogen bomb batteries!"

The last sentence was said with great force, and the emotion was obviously agitated.

Hydrogen bomb batteries sound much less reliable than ion cannon technology, and can even catch up with the shock brought by "gold manufacturing".

Teacher Li was also very surprised. He had always heard Zhang Shuo talk about hydrogen bomb batteries and originally thought that it was a "future technology" and "conceptual research" that focused on the research process rather than the results.

Zhang Shuo proposed to research hydrogen bomb battery technology, and he believed it a little bit...really a little bit!

Now, it's actually possible?!
