On January 1, 2027, the gears of time slowly rotated, and people were celebrating the arrival of the new year.

Zhou Yu was also celebrating, but he was not celebrating the New Year, but celebrating the controllable nuclear fusion reactor design meeting the requirements.

After the core components of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor made of high-temperature extreme materials arrive at the earth.

Scientists in the Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project began to design a Controllable Nuclear Fusion Reactor.

Controllable nuclear fusion reactors are complex projects, and now mature nuclear fission reactors cannot provide effective assistance to this project.

Scientists can only build controlled nuclear fusion reactors from scratch with the assistance of quantum computers.

Zhou Yu came to the Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project Team of the Spark Science and Technology Research Institute.

The main person in charge here is Zhong Haiyang, a scientist of controlled nuclear fusion, Xu Rui, a scientist of materials scientist, and Ma Shan, an engineering expert.

Zhou Yu saw them and said with a smile: "New Year and new atmosphere. As soon as the New Year arrived, I heard the joyful news that the controllable nuclear fusion reactor was designed."

Zhong Haiyang said with emotion: "We have solved the theoretical and technical difficulties of controllable nuclear fusion reactors, but we have transformed a theory into an applicable project.

There are too many difficulties encountered in this, and some of them cannot be imagined at all, but through our joint efforts, these problems have been overcome one by one.

Now a qualified controlled nuclear fusion reactor has been designed and can be constructed at any time."

"Is the controllable nuclear fusion reactor just qualified? How is its specific performance?" Zhou Yu asked immediately.

Zhong Haiyang explained: "Mr. Zhou, we designed a controllable nuclear fusion reactor for the first time, and we have not yet built a controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

Now we can only say that this controlled nuclear fusion reactor design can meet our requirements.

After the construction of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is completed, whether it exceeds our design or cannot complete the design goals is an unknown.

We can only ensure that this controlled nuclear fusion reactor used for experiments can be used to complete the controlled nuclear fusion reaction to the minimum, allowing us to collect sufficient data on the controlled nuclear fusion reaction."

After hearing Zhong Haiyang say it, Ma Shan immediately continued: "As long as there are no problems with the construction of the project, the performance of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is still very powerful.

The annual power generation of controllable nuclear fusion reactors is 50 trillion kilowatt-hours, and such a huge power generation is almost twice the total global power generation in a year.

The nuclear fusion reactor consumes 1.6 tons of nuclear raw material helium-3 in a year.

The helium-3 content in lunar soil on the moon is another million tons, even if the energy consumed by the earth continues to increase according to the current situation.

On Earth, only nuclear fusion reactors are used to generate electricity, and only rely on helium-3 in the lunar soil. These energy is enough for us to use for tens of thousands of years."

Zhou Yu was not surprised at all when he heard the terrifying power generation of the nuclear fusion reactor.

It is known that all gaseous stars in the universe that glow themselves, the energy they release is carried out through thermonuclear reactions.

For example, the most obvious one is the sun, which has been burning for billions of years and can still burn for billions of years.

Thermonuclear reactions can bring huge energy to celestial bodies like the sun. As long as humans use them slightly, they will inevitably bring incredible huge amounts of energy.

Every change of energy promotes tremendous changes in society.

In ancient times, people could only use slash-and-burn to plant wood as firewood, and their utilization rate of energy in nature was very low.

The first industrial revolution brought coal to the stage, and whoever mastered this energy would have an absolute advantage.

The Second Industrial Revolution was the joint progress of fossil energy and electricity.

The Third Industrial Revolution is the main arena for new energy such as nuclear energy, wind energy, and solar energy.

Only a huge energy, such as nuclear energy, can support the high energy consumption of modern society.

The United States consumes more energy in one month now than the United States consumes in one year in the 18th century.

Even if humans use energy, they are still restricted by energy.

Nuclear power has not yet become the mainstream of the world, and the mainstream of power generation is still relied on fossil energy.

One of the important reasons is that the harm of nuclear power has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After all, the popularity of nuclear weapons has made everyone understand what kind of evil consequences will occur if an accident occurs in a nuclear reactor.

This is exactly why Zhou Yu decided to use helium-3 as the raw material for nuclear reactors. Helium-3 performs thermonuclear reactions, and it does not produce neutrons and does not have dangerous nuclear radiation.

The cheaper deuterium and tritium have been stored in many seawater desalination factories, which are within reach.

However, using these two materials as raw materials for nuclear reactors, once there is an accident in the nuclear reactor, huge amounts of nuclear radiation will turn the surrounding area into a dead end.

Only when the helium-3 controllable nuclear fusion reactor, this truly clean nuclear energy emerges, can human civilization no longer worry about the lack of energy.

While Zhou Yu was thinking, he heard Xu Rui's voice ringing.

"The key to our controllable nuclear fusion reactor is controllable.

The thermonuclear reaction it carries out does not develop disorderly, but allows them to react at a certain rate according to our needs.

What Mashan engineers just said was the highest power of a nuclear fusion reactor. In fact, the reactor can generate power at the lowest power of a nuclear fusion reaction.

We can also terminate the thermonuclear reaction process of nuclear fusion reactors at any time.

The helium-3 inside the hollow tube of the high-temperature-resistant extreme material is limited. As long as the material reaction is completed and no external material input is input, the temperature inside will drop quickly and the nuclear fusion reaction will terminate.

We have taken safe and effective measures to ensure that our safety measures work.

Safety measures are the most troublesome nuclear fusion reactor designs.

Even if we carry out clean thermonuclear reactions, we must ensure the safety of the nuclear fusion reactor.

Otherwise, only one accident would have a fatal blow to everyone's confidence. I don't know how many years the controllable fusion reactor will have to be refrigerated."

After hearing their introduction, Zhou Yu looked at the structural diagram of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

The most central part is a thermonuclear reaction site composed of 33 hollow tubes with high temperature resistance.

The outside of the hollow tube is covered with gaseous polystyrene, a thermally conductive material.

The most core location of thermonuclear reaction, polysilstyrene is directly a gaseous substance, but it still does not affect its powerful thermal conductivity.

Polysilstyrene can still remain gaseous because the pressure outside the hollow tube is very low.

This is not a place for thermonuclear reactions, but a place for heat exchange. There is no need to maintain the limit pressure, and a standard atmospheric pressure is enough.

There is a thermally conductive material such as polystyrene, and a high-power temperature differential generator is connected to the other side of it.

The internal temperature of polysilstyrene can be kept below 10,000 degrees Celsius, which is not enough to ionize the polysilstyrene material and destroy its thermal conductivity.

Xinghuo Technology's already mature high-power temperature differential generator converts the heat derived from polysilstyrene into electrical energy.

The specific structure of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor is similar to that of a geothermal power station.

It just has the extra step of converting nuclear energy into thermal energy.
