Movie black technology

An engine with a thrust output of tens of billions of tons...

I am afraid that in a few centuries, human beings may not be able to use it.

Compared with the engine, the refusion technology inside is more attractive.

But the more Chen Shen looked down, the more it felt wrong.

"Why do these two technologies... seem to be bundled together?"

Chen Shen looked at the system and muttered to himself.

"The vacuum rock refusion technology and the planetary engine seem to be completely tied?"

Chen Shen frowned and looked at the technical outline in the system. Just from the information revealed by the current title, he felt something was wrong.

All the core technologies of the planetary engine project seem to be closely connected. Once any one is thrown away, it will lead to the collapse of the entire project...

"To put it simply, nuclear fusion technology is to heat the fusion material to a certain temperature, so that the atomic nuclei of the fusion material can attract each other and collide together, and the atomic nuclei will polymerize with each other to generate new nuclei with heavier masses..."

For example, the current mainstream idea of ​​nuclear fusion is to use hydrogen isotopes and a mixed gas formed by deuterium-tritium, heat them to a plasma state, and then heat them until the electrons outside the nucleus are free from the constraints of the nucleus.

At this stage, the atomic nuclei seem to have taken off their clothes, and have fencing... directly collide with each other, and it is possible for the atomic nuclei to fuse with each other.

But this is only possible.

Because atomic nuclei are all positively charged, according to the principle of same-sex repulsion——

To get together, two nuclei must overcome strong electrostatic repulsion.

The closer the nuclei are to each other, the greater the electrostatic repulsion, and only when they approach each other by about three trillionths of a millimeter do strong forces pull them together.

To solve this problem, we can only continue to accelerate the movement speed of the atomic nucleus.

To speed up the movement speed of atomic nuclei, we can only rely on increasing the temperature.

The higher the temperature, the faster and more intense the motion of the atomic nuclei will be. When the speed reaches a certain level, the electrostatic repulsion between them can be broken.

It's like two cars that can't stop at high speed collide directly!

boom!

Polymerization was successful.

A new nucleus is born!

If the nuclei of tritium and deuterium collide, they combine to form a heavier helium nucleus.

But according to the mass depletion equation, whether it is upward fusion or downward fission, mass depletion will occur when new nuclei are generated.

For example, a deuterium atom with 1 neutron and 1 electron, and a tritium atom with 2 neutrons and 1 electron, will lose the mass of a neutron when fusion upgrades to form a helium atom.

Because a helium atom has only 2 neutrons and 2 electrons.

The neutrons that are thrown out at high speed and have no home will hit other surrounding nuclei that have not yet started again, causing a chain reaction of fusion.

It's like on a crowded track, after two cars collided, a lot of debris was thrown out, and these debris hit other vehicles, causing the vehicle not to follow the track, and sooner or later the vehicle that would be in an accident had an accident ahead of time, and then the two Change into four, four into eight, and every car on the entire track was inevitably crashed.

Every time a car crashes, some pieces of stuff are thrown out, which is equivalent to the mass lost in fusion to form new nuclei.

The high-speed motion of these ejected neutrons will be converted into heat to maintain the temperature of the plasma surrounding it, keeping the plasma at an extremely high temperature.

At this time, as long as a steam turbine is added to the cooling system outside the plasma, and the machine is driven by high-temperature steam, mechanical energy generation can be realized.

Of course, it's easier said than done.

But humans have not experimented with nuclear fusion so far, so there is a reason why the eternal fifty years has become a meme.

One of the main reasons is that the plasma temperature required for fusion is simply too high.

In order for the nuclei to collide together, the temperature that needs to be reached must be at least 100 million degrees Celsius.

And this is only the deuterium-tritium element that is the easiest to achieve fusion.

If you want to fuse together step by step in the order of hydrogen, helium, carbon, neon, oxygen, magnesium, silicon, and iron.

At the final step of silicon fusion into iron, the required temperature is at least between 2 billion and 3 billion, or even higher...

No object can withstand such a temperature. The moment it comes into contact with this temperature, no matter what it is, it will disappear instantly.

Not to mention keeping this ultra-high temperature plasma all the time, letting them continue to run and release energy.

Even the technology of the system is the same.

The planetary engine developed by the system is also unable to contain the billions of degrees of high-temperature plasma.

so--

"The system should be in a plasma semi-confined way."

Chen Shen looked at the titles in the technical outline and felt that the whole picture of nuclear fusion technology had been partly revealed in his eyes.

"The system has found a way to heat silicon elements to fusion standards with very low energy consumption, and then use a magnetic field to confine and guide the high-temperature plasma for a certain distance, allowing them to release energy during the confinement process. for power generation."

"When they can't be restrained, they will be introduced into the engine, fired as shells, and at the same time create a huge thrust..."

"This this……"

What a talent!

When Chen Shen saw this line of thinking, he was completely shocked, and he never thought that there would be such an operation.

In the final analysis, nuclear fusion is also doing economic calculations.

The most important reason for maintaining the fusion plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees before is that the energy required to produce fusion plasma at this temperature is too much.

If you don't maintain this plasma and let it disappear quickly, so that the energy produced is not as good as the energy consumed when heating...

So what's the point of this fusion?

It’s like spending a lot of money and energy to raise a cow, but when the first bucket of milk is produced, the cow is gone. Can this cow make money?

But the system found another way, and found an entry point that ordinary people can't think of, or can't do——

Reduce energy consumption when heating the plasma!

The plasma is heated in a special way that only requires minimal power consumption, and the confinement path of the high-temperature plasma is lengthened so that it only releases energy in this confinement path to generate electricity.

When the plasma cannot be grasped, it will open an opening and let it roll out by itself, and the part of the nozzle will transform into a planetary engine on the spot, contributing a little propulsion to the earth.

In this way, as long as the heating energy is small enough and the path of plasma confinement is long enough, there will be profits in the process!

Just like raising a cow, as long as the cost of raising a cow is low enough, so low that it earns a profit by producing one bucket of milk, and earns a lot of money by producing two buckets of milk, then this cow is worth raising!

And it’s also worth raising!

It is precisely because of this that Chen Shen thought that the planetary engine and the fusion reactor were tied to each other.

Because the two are basically one and two sides!

If you want to use this technology to make a fusion reactor, you must make an engine, otherwise the high-temperature plasma that cannot be ejected will be out of control to a certain extent.

Then it will be a disaster--

The billions of degrees of high-temperature plasma will evaporate everything, leaving a huge deep pit on the earth, and the destruction will not stop until they cool to normal temperature.

In this disaster, the only good news may be that nuclear fusion will not leak.

Because nuclear fusion needs to continuously add raw materials.

Once the fusion reactor has an accident, destroys the overall structure, loses the supply of fusion raw materials, and destroys the fusion reactor in the high-temperature environment, it will stop immediately like water without a source.

Rather than nuclear fission, as long as the fission raw materials are not consumed and the system is not shut down, fission will occur spontaneously.

"This is a bit difficult!"

Chen Shen stroked his chin.

He wants to re-fusion fusion technology, but not to build a planetary engine.

Because human beings don't need this thing at all!

The huge thrust output by the planetary engine to the ground will cause changes and destruction of the geological structure.

The high-temperature plasma it sprays into the sky will also heat up the water vapor in the sky. When the time comes, even the rain will be scalding hot, which can turn a romantic couple in the rain into two crayfish!

These two reasons alone have already determined that planetary engines are not suitable for the present human society.

Not to mention its exaggerated physique.

Whether it is eight kilometers or eleven kilometers, it is unrealistic for human beings to build buildings of this height.

At least until the Himalayas are equipped with elevators, human beings will be able to consider projects of this height.

"Is it possible to reduce the power and size of the planetary engine?" Chen Shen looked at the technology in the system, really greedy.

Even if there are many difficulties, it can't change his idea of ​​wanting to realize this technology.

"The high-temperature plasma is ejected because it cannot be controlled. Is it possible to control the amount of high-temperature plasma generated, and then lengthen the confinement path of the plasma to maximize energy consumption in the confinement path? Finally Exit again?"

Chen Shen habitually wanted to calculate, but found that he couldn't start.

The technology revealed by the system now is only a part of vacuum rock refusion, and he doesn't have the complete technical parameters at all, so he can't estimate it at all.

"Oh, I still have to wait!"

Chen Shen sighed, and could only turn off the system, so as not to itch like a kitten scratching his heart.

Looking back at the numerous reports on his desk, Chen Shen suddenly remembered another project.

That is the monster's quantum cell communication project.

This project was only in the pre-research state before, but now it is very important.

Because the first particle cannon on the moon...the particle beam generator has been installed.

Next, you only need to install five more sets, and then send the central control system and frequency modulation system up, and you can officially start the wormhole energy collision test.

Regarding the principle of wormholes, although everyone has not fully understood it, it does not hinder Chen Shen's confidence in this experiment.

In his view, the possibility of the success of artificial wormholes is very high.

And what is the first thing after successfully creating a wormhole?

Announce to the world that they have created the first wormhole in human history, swearing that this is a great domestic victory?

of course not.

The first thing is to put a detector across the wormhole!

How can everyone be sure that it is a real wormhole without trying to see if it can really transmit things?

And since the detector is going to be sent, there must be a communication device on the detector, right?

If the situation of the detector cannot be known in the country, then what is the point of this transmission?

Is it okay to send cookies to aliens?

However, all communication methods in use today are limited by the speed of light.

It’s okay to use it within the solar system, but if you want to use it outside the solar system, you will be blind.

If you want to use it on a wormhole detector that doesn't know where it will be teleported, you are completely blind.

In case the wormhole opens billions of light-years away, the earth does not know whether there is a lifespan of billions of years waiting for the return of the signal.

Moreover, the distance of billions of light years cannot be crossed by ordinary signals.

The signals received by the earth from billions of light-years away are all sent by some special celestial bodies or even nebula galaxies after major events.

That's why this signal can be strong enough to propagate for billions of years.

With the power of the wireless communicator that the detector can carry, the signal sent out is not to mention billions of light years in the universe.

It is impossible to spread even a light-year.

It can't run very far, and it will be covered by the background of the universe.

Therefore, for a country that is about to start exploring wormholes, a means of communication that can communicate with wormhole detectors is very important.

In the current human vision, the closest thing to this need, apart from quantum entanglement, is the communication cells in the monster's brain.

Regarding this technology, it has been involved a little bit in Scarlet Storm before, which can provide Chen Shen with a way of thinking.

That is to directly use the brain cells of these monsters as communication factors, take them out and breed them separately, and make them undergo mutated evolution to become a kind of cells independent of the monster's communication system.

To put it simply, through the means of cultivation and evolution, the relationship between cells and monsters is gradually separated until the two parties can no longer communicate with each other, and new cells can only communicate with new cells across time and space.

For the detailed technologies needed here, such as the solution that allows the quantum cells to survive after peeling off, Chen Shen had already deduced the ingredients some time ago.

There is also the technology of controlling the quantum cells. Through previous experiments, the laboratory has found that only a moderate amount of electric shock is needed for the quantum cells, and it will send out different wave information.

Various messages can then be received by observing the different messages produced by individual cells in the population.

This involves a new set of communication standards.

Similar to how computers use binary conversion information today.

Chen Shen's current task is to formulate a new set of standards and new algorithms, so that the information transmitted by the cell group can be read in the future.

This job is not difficult for him.

It's just a matter of setting a communication model based on existing conditions.

The key to this inter-space-time communication system lies in the cultivation of quantum cells...

The first 2,000 words have been stuck for me for a whole day. I wrote, corrected, and revised it. Now I have only written 4,000 words. I should have to work overtime until midnight tonight for the remaining 8,000 words...

In addition, there were new achievements in domestic nuclear fusion yesterday. Why do I feel that when I write about which field, there will be new achievements in that field?

This seems to have happened several times...
