Chapter 373 Small Fusion Reactor
Zhou Yu was very surprised. He didn't expect that such important results would actually be achieved when developing hollow bubbles.
This summary meeting was just a routine meeting, with the main purpose of setting up the R&D direction for the next period of time.
Because the time it took for Xinghuo Technology to obtain hollow bubbles was too short, it only took more than a month, and it was really surprising that it produced results in such a short period of time.
Zhou Yu briefly arranged the next R&D direction.
"We cannot learn from the genetic material of alien life, and now we can give up the exploration of the functions of these genetic material.
We can't really use genetic means to recreate alien life, that's simply a mortal.
We need to increase our efforts to explore the organelles of alien life cells. It can become as big as a 100,000-ton giant wheel. The organelles of alien life must have special effects.
Such a large cell organelles cannot be used in the cells of life on Earth, but we can analyze the functions of this cell organelles and use the principles of bionics to develop some advanced instruments and equipment.
We should focus on exploring the materials of hollow bubbles and the mysterious substances inside hollow bubbles. The research results of these two substances can truly promote our scientific and technological progress."
Zhou Yu only determined the main R&D direction, and the specific R&D details were designed by the scientists responsible for the specific projects.
The summary meeting ends here, and Zhou Yu and Li Qihua rushed to the Basic Force Field Laboratory together.
On the flying car, Zhou Yu asked curiously: "Director Li Qihua, why is your project progressing so quickly?
The other projects have just explored the properties of hollow bubbles, and your laboratory has already produced results."
Li Qihua's eyes were smiling and turned into a crack, introducing: "We have been studying the materials used in small nuclear fusion reactors.
As long as the vessel materials that undergo thermonuclear reactions make breakthroughs, our small nuclear fusion reactors can be assembled directly.
Our experimental idea in the past was to use extreme compression, as long as the material is compressed to a density close to the white dwarf, there is no problem in producing thermonuclear reactions.
However, the end-stage star that only forms a star as big as the sun can only collapse when the gravitational collapses. It is the end of the sun's life.
To form such a high density, an extremely huge energy and gravitational field is required, and our current technology simply cannot reach this level.
Our technical strength is the limit to reach one-third of the density of white dwarfs, that is, the density of the outer wall of the hollow bulb.
Through extreme compression, the high-density material produced can already withstand the temperature required during thermonuclear reactions.
But its service life is too low and it can only maintain thermonuclear reaction for one hour.
We found that the outer wall material of the hollow bulb was not closely linked.
There are also certain gaps between particles, but through the layout of various particles, the nuclear forces between each particle are intertwined to form a stable structure."
When Li Qihua finished speaking, he realized that he had not controlled himself and made a long speech.
After he finished speaking, he gave another example and explained: "Our previous method was to arrange the logs together as fences.
Technology is constantly improving, and the logs become boards, and they are closely attached to each other, and the fence becomes very strong.
The technology of alien civilizations is not wooden fences, they are barbed wire.
Even if the gaps in the barbed wire are larger, it is harder than the wooden fence."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed: "Microscopic particles also have their own rules. We need to find the rules between microscopic particles, and use the rules of particles themselves to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
We are pioneers now, so we should summarize the rules, which is our responsibility."
Zhou Yu and Li Qihua came to the Basic Force Field Laboratory, which was originally a Gravitational Laboratory.
Now that the basic projects are separated from the primary science laboratory, all of which are extremely difficult projects are now.
Li Qihua led Zhou Yu to observe the small nuclear fusion reactor.
There are many types of small nuclear fusion reactors here. The largest nuclear fusion reactor is a cylinder with a length of 10 meters and a circle on the bottom surface and a diameter of 5 meters.
The smallest nuclear fusion reactor is a cylinder with a length of 5 cm and a circle with a diameter of 5 cm.
Although these fusion reactors have a big difference in size, they are all small fusion reactors.
These small fusion reactors have completely different significance from the original fusion power plants.
In the past, nuclear fusion reactors at nuclear fusion power plants only refer to the most core place for thermonuclear reactions.
Today's nuclear fusion reactors include a series of auxiliary equipment such as cooling devices, power generation devices and energy storage devices.
These small nuclear fusion reactors can be directly installed on the engineering mecha to provide energy for the engineering mecha.
Li Qihua excitedly introduced: "Mr. Zhou, our small nuclear fusion reactor has been tested in detail.
They have different power, but their service life is extremely long. They only rely on normal maintenance and can be repaired for 10 years without overhaul.
Small nuclear fusion reactors use helium-3 as energy. As long as the raw material supply is stable, it can continuously generate electricity without interruption.
Small nuclear fusion reactors are very safe, and we set up three independent security systems.
Even if the small nuclear fusion reactor is at the site of a nuclear explosion, it will not explode in a mortal way during its complete destruction.”
Zhou Yu said with satisfaction: "I believe there is no problem with the reliability of the equipment you developed. How is its energy output? Can it output energy stably?
The gravity engine has been sealed, but there is not enough stable and huge energy to power it.
Now as long as the output energy of a small nuclear fusion reactor is stable, it can serve as an energy source for gravitational engines.
Once the gravity engine is put into use, our Spark Technology can develop large-scale spacecraft.
You can even place a space city in orbit around the earth."
Li Qihua knows that one of the key requirements for small nuclear fusion reactors is stable energy output.
He said proudly: "Our small nuclear fusion reactor fully meets the various indicators set by the project.
In addition to the huge fluctuations in electrical energy during startup, small nuclear fusion reactors have little fluctuations in other cases.
As long as advanced rectifiers are arranged, small nuclear fusion reactors can fully power the gravitational engine."
Zhou Yu inspected a small fusion reactor in the Basic Force Field Laboratory, and he watched various data on the small fusion reactor.
The data of these small nuclear fusion reactors perfectly meet the design requirements without any discount.
With nuclear fusion reactors that can output huge energy, some extremely energy-consuming projects can also be started.
For example, a gravitational engine that consumes a lot of energy, with the energy support of a nuclear fusion reactor, can build new spacecraft around it.
With the gravitational engine in use, Spark Technology can directly build a spacecraft comparable to a 200,000-ton ship.
