Chapter 380 Reactor

If time can go back to the past and Academician Li Zhengwu chooses again, he will still not regret his choice of research on the controllable nuclear fusion east device.

Yes, in his opinion, controlled nuclear fusion is the future of mankind!

In this world, there is absolutely no energy that can compare with the high energy, efficiency and cleanliness of controlled nuclear fusion!

However, looking at the antimatter energy reactor in front of him, which is similar to the east device, Li Zhengwu had to admit that he was wrong, he was very wrong!

Antimatter,

A more energy-efficient, and clean energy than controlled nuclear fusion!

Moreover, unlike controlled nuclear fusion, the conditions for controlling the annihilation of positive and anti-matter are much easier than the conditions for controlling nuclear fusion reactions!

Compared with the east device he studied before, the central temperature of the antimatter reactor is only hundreds of thousands of degrees, and with the controllable positive and antimatter involved in annihilation, the central temperature can often be adjusted; however, the intermediate temperature of the east reactor is basically as high as hundreds of millions of degrees, and it is often uncontrollable!

This is the biggest advantage of an antimatter energy reactor!

Secondly, the high-energy magnetic field environment required for antimatter reactors is only 1t at most, while the high-energy magnetic field environment required for east reactors is also at least 2t, which makes the latter extremely demanding requirements for superconducting electromagnet materials.

Third, antimatter reactors do not need to rely on external energy to "ignite" them, while controllable nuclear fusion reactors must "ignite" them through high-energy laser devices!

The three major advantages make antimatter energy reactors simpler and more controllable than controllable nuclear fusion reactors. The result is that in less than a year, the antimatter reactor has achieved the result that it took decades to achieve the controllable nuclear fusion reactors, and has even left the controllable nuclear fusion far behind!

So far, the ignition record of controlled nuclear fusion for up to 40 minutes is like the gap between babies and middle-aged people in the ignition time of the antimatter reactor in the "arbitrary" time. It is really too far apart!

Therefore, Li Zhengwu's little thoughts were finally completely extinguished...

Unexpectedly, he actually gave up on the controlled nuclear fusion research that he had worked hard for most of his life!

Unexpectedly, he could still see a future energy that can replace controlled nuclear fusion in his lifetime!

Unexpectedly, the only one who lets him see all this was a young man under 20 years old!

"Three, two, one, ignite!"

In the laboratory, another ignition test of the antimatter energy reactor began again.

Staring at the strings of data flashing on the computer screen, Li Zhengwu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

If he calculates the success of the experiment, he can no longer count how many times he has succeeded.

Every experiment seems to be like a divine help, and the results are often expected, with almost few abnormal states appearing, which is simply incomparable to his countless failures in his experiments with controllable nuclear fusion!

However, he knew that this was not a helping god at all!

Although scientific experiments often require luck, in the experiments designed by Liu Feng, success seems to be taken for granted, while failure seems to have become something that requires luck.

That's right, almost all the experimental progress was carried out according to the plan arranged by Liu Feng. This experiment was so wild and impeccable that the old academician who had been engaged in East experimental research for decades could not find any "trick"!

In this regard, the young Professor Liu is indeed much better than him!

Originally, he had always been worried about the dismissal of controlled nuclear fusion, believing that Liu Feng had some intention to suppress dissidents and deliberately said bad things about them at the top, which led to the dismissal of the entire East project. If he had the chance, he would definitely find the venue and start the fire again.

However, the success of countless experiments made his thoughts desperate.

Even so desperate that he made him doubt his life!

The antimatter energy reactor in front of us has proved that antimatter is so excellent with hundreds of successful tests. It is so outstanding that its controlled nuclear fusion career has really drifted away like the wind...

I stared at the computer screen blankly, like a "Walking Dead", and stared at it for more than an hour.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The violent energy reaction was finally extinguished with the cut-off of antimatter supply, and a sound of steel colliding came from the entire laboratory, just like the sound of countless soldiers wearing armor marching in an orderly manner.

Obviously, the experiment ended.

Li Zhengwu was also awakened.

If it were the experiments in the past, if he had spoken so stunned, he would not have forgiven himself. However, now it has become the norm. Could it be because he is old?

"Teacher, it's the end!"

Soon, Academician Li Yongfeng submitted the first-hand experimental data with joy.

"Everything is in control, and all the data does not exceed the expectations before the experiment."

"Is that true?" Li Zhengwu nodded expressionlessly. After coming to his senses, he took the experimental data and simply looked at it, but his eyebrows were twitching without any silence.

He has achieved similar results more than once. The key is that every time the result comes out, he will think of this scene - from the initial unwanted failure to slowly failing once, and finally looking forward to "failing"...

Even if it fails to meet the standards once!

When he thinks of this scene, he feels like he is unwilling to live.

His pride has been trampled into shit!

The key is that this piece of shit has not yet dispersed, and it can't be shaken off!

It is almost exactly the same as the structure of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor. The antimatter energy reactor is also composed of a large superconducting magnet system, a vacuum chamber, a cold screen and an external vacuum Dewar, a plasma component, a device technology diagnosis system, a low temperature system, a high-power power system, a vacuum pumping system, a low-clutter current driving system, and a total control and data acquisition system.

Because he had long had the experience of building the east device, and he handled almost the entire process of the antimatter energy reactor, and even many parts were directly disassembled from the east device, Li Zhengwu knew all the parameters of this instrument.

The main purpose of the experiment they did this time was to test the operation of the reactor general control and data acquisition system at various temperatures in order to find the optimal reaction temperature of the reactor.

Because in controlled nuclear fusion experiments, the central temperature of the reactor is often too high, resulting in various deviations in the overall control system. Although the antimatter energy reactor does not have high temperatures of tens of millions of degrees or hundreds of millions of degrees, it is still too high for instruments and equipment.

Looking at the experimental data in his hand, Li Zhengwu sighed and finally showed a little excited expression.

"We finally found the most suitable reaction temperature!"

In fact, this data parameter is mainly divided into two parts.

The first part is real-time data on the reactor center temperature and various detection elements.

It is obvious that when the temperature remains below 90,000 degrees, the detection elements of each part of the instrument are in a very stable state;

When the temperature remains at 90,000 to 200,000 degrees, some detection elements have already deviated;

When the temperature exceeds 200,000 degrees, most of other types of detection elements except for the temperature detection elements have been distorted!

As for the second part, it is also a key part of the entire experiment.

In the experiment, they can control the reactor center temperature by adjusting the annihilation rate of positive and negative matter;

The data in this part is the correlation map between the flow rate of the positive and negative matter and the central temperature of the reactor. In the coordinate system, it is obvious that the axis increases with the increase of the x-axis, and the two basically show a positively correlated linear trend. That is to say, the larger the flow rate of the positive and negative matter (that is, the annihilation speed), the higher the central temperature of the reactor!

Judging from these two sets of data, he can basically determine the optimal reaction temperature of the entire reactor.

"Teacher, I think we can submit a report on the successful test of the reactor!" Li Yongfeng was still excited and his face turned red. "This reactor has been successful, and it can be used directly to generate electricity!"

"Then let's report it!" After putting down the experimental report in his hand, Academician Li Zhengwu leaned on the office chair, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

Success?

This is successful?

In less than a year, they successfully ran an antimatter energy reactor?

this,

It's too unbelievable!

...

Soon, a report was submitted to Liu Feng.

Looking at the experimental report in front of him, Liu Feng nodded with great satisfaction.

To be honest, although the reactor was designed entirely by him, he basically never participated in the specific experimental operations.

According to his prediction, the reactor will have to wait at least next year or even the year after, and it is beyond his expectations to achieve success so quickly.

Carefully summarize, review and confirm that the experimental report was carefully summarized, reviewed, and confirmed that there were indeed no omissions.

"I have to give in, Academician Li, I made the wisest choice when I tried my best to bring you into the anti-matter project!"

With this impeccable report, Liu Feng was not grateful for his decision.

"If it weren't for your joining, if it were someone else, no matter how complete my design was, it wouldn't have been possible to produce results so quickly."

Although he is almost fifty years old, Academician Li Yongfeng still smiles shyly:

"We are the smartest choice to join your project. Even without us, any research team in China that builds nuclear reactors can make these things according to your design. At least, I don't know much about other people, but the HL-2A team next door is no worse than our east!"

hl-2a is the abbreviation of China's Circulator No. 2. It is the first large tokamak device in China with filter position shape. It is also a controlled nuclear fusion experiment.

However, unlike East, the Circuiter No. 2 was rebuilt using large components of the D-National Asdex device host. The East device was designed and built independently by China after absorbing the HL-2A technology. Relatively speaking, East technology is actually more advanced and mature.

But over the years, hl-2a has been in operation and has achieved considerable results.

For example, the three-dimensional structure of geodesic acoustic mode and low-frequency band-like flow was observed for the first time using a new electrostatic probe system, filling the international gap in this direction; the spontaneous internal particle transport barrier was discovered using original ultrasonic molecular beam modulation technology, and new topics were proposed for plasma transport research, etc.; these new discoveries have made outstanding contributions to the development of fusion plasma science, and also provided a scientific and technical basis for China to participate in the Iter program.

If there was no East team, with these outstanding achievements, Liu Feng would have really gone to "harm" the hl-2a team!

Shake his head.

However, since the antimatter project was launched, the hl-2a team seems to have not had a good time.

Especially after hearing that Liu Feng was also engaged in "controllable nuclear fusion", the Irer organization also made things difficult for the HL-2A team like Ern. Recently, there have been news that it wanted to remove China from the country;

Did you just take the lead and beat the rabbits? Why did you just take these people into consideration?

Thinking of this, Liu Feng stroked his chin with a somewhat moving expression.

However, in the end he still "rejected" this tempting idea. Academician Li Zhengwu had already let him "reluctant" him. On the hl-2a team, there were countless people with a temper like Mr. Li. He did not have the confidence to take these people into his pocket.

...

The two flattered each other, were humble, and chatted for a while.

In the end, it was Academician Li Yongfeng who said, "By the way, Professor Liu, do you have any other arrangements next?"

After thinking about it, Liu Feng asked back, "What are your plans?"

After a pause, Li Yongfeng was a straightforward person after all, so he still expressed their plans: "I discussed with the teacher. Since the reactor has been successful, we plan to conduct miniaturization research on the reactor. Of course, if you have any arrangements here, we will naturally meet your requirements first."

Nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, even if Academician Li doesn't say it, he will have such an arrangement. However, miniaturization of the reactor is definitely an eternal thing, and now he has more important things to them:

"The miniaturization of the reactor is not urgent. Academician Qian Zhengying has designed a high-energy meson generator. This generator is different from traditional nuclear power plant generators and is more similar to a magnetic fluid generator structure. It has very high requirements for reactors. I hope that together with Academician Qian, you will first link the antimatter power generation system!"
