Chapter 591 Silicon Heavy Nuclear Fusion (4K, 6K Postponement)

In the office, a thesis is projected on the big screen, and it can be seen from the title that it is special——

"Analysis of the composition of the subterranean ocean of alien planets"

Under the big screen, a team of professors composed of many interdisciplinary subjects such as astrochemistry, astrophysics, etc. are staring intently at every word above.

The paper is not long, it is just a pilot paper, it simply discloses part of the data obtained by the wormhole detector, and some simple analysis is done based on this data.

The level is actually not very high.

However, this paper is just a data analysis work, and does not require any special operations.

The ingredient data disclosed here is the most important.

"Victor, how much of these data do you think is credible?"

Astronomy professor Leonard whispered a question to the astrochemistry professor next to him, Ms. Victor.

Professor Victor, who was wearing thick eyes, bit his lip, and then said in a low voice: "It seems quite believable. From my first instinct, the logic revealed in this data is in line with the astrochemical theory. of."

"This can only prove that this data is not fabricated." A voice suddenly interjected from the side.

It wasn't until the two of them realized that even though they spoke softly, it was clear enough in the silent office.

Professor Victor glanced at the person who interrupted.

It is Bill, a professor of theoretical physics, who is notoriously stubborn. Ever since the news of the success of instant communication came out, he has been declaring through various channels that "the theory of relativity is still perfect, and instant communication is just a cheap scam". like a devil...

In this state, many people dare not provoke him, even his students.

When he learned that Professor Bill would also attend tonight's seminar, Professor Victor had already foreseen the current scene.

The other party will not just say this sentence and end it.

Sure enough, then Professor Bill simply stood in front of everyone, blocked the big screen, spread his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then stretched out his fingers to point at everyone, his white hair trembling with anger:

"I really don't know why you guys are wasting your time here, it's just a very shoddy and obvious scam, we shouldn't let them waste the world's time anymore."

"What we should discuss now is not the authenticity of these papers, but to stand up and expose their crimes of falsification to the people of the world!"

"Man-made wormholes, such things simply cannot exist! That's just a fantasy in movies and novels!"

"It is impossible for their detectors to have reached alien planets. These papers are just smoke bombs they released..."

No one spoke in the office for a long time.

Victor, Leonard and other professors looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

"Tonight's topic is not to discuss whether wormholes are true or not, we are discussing the papers they published..."

Viktor said in a lower voice than before, shaking his head.

She had had enough of the stubborn and talkative old man in front of her.

As soon as the words fell, Professor Leonard next to him couldn't help standing up: "Professor Bill, before denying the artificial wormhole, I think we need to explain the two experiments they conducted on the moon before."

"Although the possibility of man-made wormholes is unlikely, we should not draw conclusions arbitrarily until we cannot explain the two experiments, and we should not express our position on this."

"You don't understand physics at all!" Professor Bill angrily reprimanded on the spot, pointing at Professor Leonard.

Professor Leonard shook his head: "Then can you explain to us, what physical laws are responsible for the lunar experiment?"

Professor Bill: "...you don't understand physics!"

Similar scenes are happening all over the world, whether in universities or in various scientific institutions, or even in the homes of ordinary people.

The supporters and opponents were completely chaotic because of the papers released by the Zhixing platform.

But in the country, it is stable.

In China, the real existence of artificial wormholes, and the sound of probes successfully reaching alien planets and sending back information have become mainstream.

On the one hand, this is the reason for the country's reputation. No one has ever doubted the domestic action in major events.

On the other hand, it is the joint guarantee of more than a dozen academicians including Chen Shen.

The last reason is that the water army on the opposite side has been cleared from the battlefield.

There are no people peeing everywhere with the water bill in one hand and the faucet in the other, and the network environment is naturally much quieter.

"Set the alarm clock, now you can sleep and wait for the live broadcast of tomorrow's press conference."

After reading various videos and articles on the Internet that guess which planet the probe will arrive at, there are also those videos that spring up like mushrooms and pop up in two or three hours to analyze the data of the paper.

Chow Tai Fook now only hates that time cannot run fast, it is best to fast forward to tomorrow's press conference.

At that time, he will know which planet the probe landed on.

That's right.

Although part of the data of Europa's subsurface ocean has been released to the public, the news of which planet these data came from was concealed by Chen Shen and the others!

This news will not be officially made public until tomorrow's press conference.

In the ten hours before this, the whole world could only make guesses based on the data they gave, regardless of the academic circles or the folks.

This is one of the reasons why various universities and institutions organize seminars.

In various related discussions, the planet where the probe landed has become a popular quiz item, surpassing the old-timer of the lunar payload quiz in one fell swoop, and has become the traffic responsibility of many news websites.

There's even a spinach associated with it...

The heat is just outrageous.

However, under such heat, Chen Shen looked at the system panel that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, but fell into deep thought.

Because, even under the blessing of such heat, the progress of the planetary engine project is still crawling forward like a snail.

23.7%!

Chen Shen remembered that the last time he watched it was in April, when it was around 10%.

Now nearly eight months have passed, and the progress has only increased by 13%...

"Isn't this progress bar too slow?"

Chen Shen, who is used to the system being a quick shooter and can handle a project in a few months, really didn't expect that there are still projects that can be difficult for such a long time.

You know, even if it is a man-made wormhole, the system deduction time is not so long.

Now it is just a controllable nuclear fusion plus a planetary engine, the deduction time of the system is actually so long...

Of course, the main reason why artificial wormholes seem so easy is that it is just a three-no product, and the system has no principle except for a recipe.

However, the current planetary engine needs to be deduced from the basic principles.

It can be seen from here that even the system may not know the principle of artificial wormholes, but it can know that as long as it does this, and then does that, it can create a wormhole...

Chen Shen didn't know how this illogical thing happened.

It can only be attributed to quantum mechanics.

Click on the details, and you can see that the system is still struggling with vacuum rock refusion technology.

This technology is at the heart of the entire planetary engine program.

Using silicon as the fusion raw material releases huge energy, which is all refusion.

The corresponding light nuclear fusion generally refers to deuterium and tritium, the isotopes of hydrogen that are often mentioned by humans.

"Is heavy nuclear fusion technology so complicated? It takes up one-fifth of the space of the entire project!"

Chen Shen was taken aback again, rubbed his chin and thought for a while before he felt relieved.

"Silicon fusion is indeed not that easy."

Theoretically, any element lighter than iron can be obtained through nuclear fusion.

There are countless stars in the universe, each of which is a huge element processing factory, producing various elements through nuclear fusion reactions all the time.

If it is a star with a large enough mass, it can generate helium from the initial hydrogen fusion, and then fuse all the way up to generate carbon, oxygen and other elements, and finally all the way to iron.

And silicon is the last hurdle before stars can produce iron.

As long as the temperature of the star can be high enough to ignite the fusion of silicon elements, the final nuclear fusion can be carried out, and countless silicon elements in the most core fusion reaction zone can be fused into iron, and at the same time, its own core can gradually become a large iron star. ball.

After the iron element is reached, since the energy required for fusion is more than the energy output by the fusion reaction, it is completely a loss-making business.

So generally by this time, the nuclear fusion of stars will stop.

Only some stars with enough mass and equally strong gravitational force will weaken the external radiation pressure formed by the nuclear fusion reaction at this time, causing the material in the outer layer of the star that has not participated in nuclear fusion to lose its support.

Usually, the matter in the outer layer of a star is under the radiation pressure produced by nuclear fusion, so it can resist the huge gravitational force of the inner core. However, with the reduction of fusion matter and the weakening of the fusion reaction, it is inevitable that the outer layer of matter will be captured by gravity. .

Under the action of gravity, these substances fly towards the core of the star at a very high speed, forming a phenomenon of gravitational collapse, and the outer layer of the star directly bombards the iron core in the center.

When the energy generated during this impact can make up for the part of the iron element fusion loss, that is, after the gravitational potential energy is converted into heat energy, the temperature required for the iron element fusion can be made up——

The iron elements that make up the star's core can continue to fuse to produce heavier elements such as gold and silver.

At the same time, after the outer layer of the star touches the core, the reaction force generated by the violent reaction will cause the outer layer of matter to be ejected into the universe in large quantities, which is commonly known as a supernova explosion.

The supernova explosion caused by the iron core, the remaining core after the explosion is the famous existence of neutron stars and black holes...

To round it up, the fusion of silicon element, as the premise of iron core, can barely be regarded as the gatekeeper of supernova explosion.

Therefore, in terms of technical difficulty and technical requirements, it is not necessarily worse than artificial wormholes.

During this period of time, Chen Shen has been taking a break from his busy schedule to learn some nuclear fields, especially knowledge related to nuclear fusion, in addition to his usual work and life.

Although it is definitely not enough in the face of heavy nuclear fusion, at least the foundation has been laid.

Chen Shen opened the technical details and read carefully, taking notes on paper from time to time.

The key to the fusion of silicon elements deduced by the system lies in the cheap ignition method, which is performed by the flint that appeared in the movie.

As long as this artificial large "stone" is put into the starting device, it can generate a temperature sufficient for refusion at the moment of starting, just like a lighter, promoting the fusion reaction.

The high temperature of the flint when activated will melt itself, so each flint can only be used once.

When the fusion reaction of the engine stops, you can only find a new flint to ignite the fusion reaction.

In addition, it is the long path of high-temperature plasma confinement.

After the heavy nuclear fusion is started in a cheap enough way, as long as the plasma is confined enough to a certain path, and the generated energy covers the activated energy, these difficult-to-constrain plasmas can be launched as cannonballs.

The length of the plasma confinement path is crucial here.

According to the data given by the system, the diameter of the planetary engine generally has two sizes of 33 kilometers and 10 kilometers, and the confinement path of the plasma circles up and down in the area of ​​several hundred square kilometers.

Chen Shen originally wanted to calculate the parameters to see if the power and size of the engine could be reduced. After all, it is really difficult to build such a huge engine.

But looking at it, he suddenly thought of a problem.

"Since flint can create a reaction that promotes heavy nuclear fusion, why can't it be used to promote light nuclear fusion?"

This thought was like a bolt of lightning, spreading from Chen Shen's mind to his whole body, so that he felt that his body was a little numb.

Why isn't light fusion used in movies?

It’s not that it can’t be done, but after calculation, it’s found that if only light nuclear fusion is used, even if all the deuterium and tritium that can be burned are burned, the energy generated is simply not enough for human beings to drive 10,000 planetary engines and push The earth ran for 2,500 years and entered a new home.

Therefore, the human beings inside can only give up the easier light nuclear fusion and turn to the idea of ​​making stones. Only the stones everywhere can withstand the consumption of 2,500 years.

So for the sake of human beings, we can only wrong Mother Earth to have fat pumped.

This is a practical limitation, not that the people inside are naturally fond of burning stones.

But movies are movies.

He Chen Shen didn't live in the movie!

Why do you want to follow the idea of ​​​​the movie?

He is in a prosperous era of harmony, peace and stability!

Why are you still burning stones?

This thing is not environmentally friendly at first glance!

Since the high temperature generated by flint can ignite the fusion reaction of silicon, it should also be able to ignite the fusion reaction of deuterium and tritium!

I’m numb. I started writing this chapter during the day, but I couldn’t finish it before twelve o’clock. Until now, it has taken up almost all of my free time. There are thousands of words deleted, deleted, corrected, and the owed six thousand will be made up in the next day. Well, maybe make it up tomorrow, or make it up separately.

In addition, the monthly pass is doubled from the 29th of this month to the 4th of the next month. The current monthly pass for this book is about 700. If you pay 1,000, you can draw a prize next month. You know╥﹏╥

I really want to draw another prize, I can't be an African chief! The last time and the last time and the last time I got a guarantee of 100 is definitely just an accident, or the starting point is targeting me! I'm going to prove my luck next month and the grand prize is definitely mine! ╥﹏╥
