The Technology Tree of Xueba

On January 1, 2027, the gears of time slowly rotate, and people are celebrating the coming of the new year.

Zhou Yu is also celebrating, but he is not celebrating the New Year, but celebrating the design of the controllable fusion reactor to meet the requirements.

After the core components of the controllable fusion reactor made of high temperature extreme materials reach the earth.

Scientists at the Controlled Fusion Project began designing controlled nuclear fusion reactors.

Controllable fusion reactors are a complex project, and now mature nuclear fission reactors simply cannot provide effective help for this project.

Scientists can only build controlled nuclear fusion reactors from scratch, with the help of a quantum computer.

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

The main persons in charge here are Zhong Haiyang, a scientist with controlled nuclear fusion theory, Xu Rui, a material scientist, and Ma Shan, an engineering expert.

Zhou Yu saw them and said with a smile: "The new year is new, and as soon as the new year arrives, I hear the news that the design of the controllable fusion reactor is complete."

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

There are too many difficulties here, some of which we simply cannot imagine, but through our joint efforts, these problems have been overcome one by one.

Now qualified qualified controllable fusion reactors are ready for engineering construction. "

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

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

All we can say now is that this controllable fusion reactor design can meet our requirements.

After the construction of the controllable fusion nuclear reactor is completed, whether it exceeds our design or fails to achieve the design goals is unknown.

We can only guarantee this controlled nuclear fusion reactor for experiments. At the very least, it can complete the controlled nuclear fusion reaction, allowing us to collect enough data for the controlled nuclear fusion reaction. "

When Ma Shan heard Zhong Haiyang's speech, he immediately continued: "As long as there is no problem in the construction of the project, the performance of the controllable fusion reactor is still very strong.

The annual output of controllable fusion reactors is 50 trillion kilowatt-hours. Such a huge amount of power generation is almost twice the total annual global power generation.

The fusion reactor consumes 1.6 tons of nuclear material helium-3 per year.

The amount of helium-3 in the lunar soil on the moon is millions of tons, even if the energy consumption of the earth continues to increase as it is now.

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

Zhou Yu was not surprised to hear such a terrifying amount of power from a fusion reactor.

It is known that all the gaseous stars in the universe that emit light by themselves emit energy through thermonuclear reactions.

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

Thermonuclear reactions can bring huge energy to a huge celestial body like the sun. As long as human beings use it slightly, it will inevitably bring an incredible amount of energy.

Every change of energy promotes tremendous changes in society.

In ancient times, people could only use slash-and-burn for logging, and their utilization of natural energy was very low.

The first industrial revolution allowed coal as an energy to enter the arena, and whoever possessed this energy had the absolute advantage.

In the second industrial revolution, fossil energy and electrical energy went hand in hand.

The third industrial revolution was a major arena for new energy sources such as nuclear, wind, and solar.

Only nuclear energy can support the high energy consumption of modern society.

The US now consumes more energy in a month than in the 18th century.

Even though human beings use energy, they are still constrained by energy.

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

One of the important reasons is that the harmfulness of nuclear power has become popular.

After all, the strong popularity of nuclear weapons has made everyone aware of the consequences of a nuclear reactor accident.

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

The cheaper deuterium and tritium, seawater desalination plants have stored a lot, it is almost within reach.

However, using these two materials as raw materials for nuclear reactors, in the event of a nuclear reactor accident, huge amounts of nuclear radiation will make the surroundings dead.

Helium-3 controlled nuclear fusion reactor. The emergence of this kind of truly clean nuclear energy can really make human civilization no longer worry about the lack of energy.

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

"The key to our controllable fusion reactor is controllability.

The thermonuclear reactions it carries out are not disorderly, but let them react at a certain rate according to our needs.

Engineer Ma Shan just said that the maximum power of a nuclear fusion reactor, in fact, the reactor can also generate electricity at the lowest power at which a nuclear fusion reaction occurs.

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

The helium-3 inside the hollow tube of the high temperature limit material is limited. As long as the material reaction is completed without the input of foreign materials, the temperature inside will quickly decrease and the nuclear fusion reaction will stop.

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

Safety measures are the nuclear fusion reactor design that is the biggest headache for us.

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

Otherwise, there would be a fatal blow to everyone's confidence if there was only one accident, and the controlled nuclear fusion reactor would not know how many years it would be refrigerated. "

After Zhou Yu heard them introduced, he looked at the structural diagram of the controllable fusion reactor.

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

This hollow tube is covered with a thermally conductive material such as gaseous polystyrene.

The most central place of thermonuclear reaction ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Polysilyl styrene is a gaseous substance directly, but it still does not affect its strong thermal conductivity.

Polystyrene 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 ultimate pressure, and a standard atmospheric pressure is sufficient.

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

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

Xinghuo Technology has matured high-power temperature difference generators, which converts the heat derived from polystyrene into electricity.

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

It is just one more step to convert nuclear energy into thermal energy.

It is this change that makes the technical difficulty of the entire project more than an order of magnitude.
