The core of successfully separating high-purity deuterium gas from mixed gases is to use the difference in apparent volume between deuterium gas and hydrogen gas in the quantum state to separate the gases.

This new type of porous cage-like material can select deuterium gas from mixed gases and adsorb a large amount of it. It is the lowest cost and most efficient way to separate deuterium gas.

Once this direction is proven successful, the problem of fuel purification for controllable nuclear fusion will be completely solved, and the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion will continue to move forward.

After successfully preparing this new porous cage material, Xu You, Lin Shi and others conducted deuterium gas separation experiments and successfully proved that the material did have the ability to adsorb deuterium gas.

"Teacher, you are really amazing. Your deduction has come true again!"

After completing the experiment of this argument, Lin Shi couldn't help but admire Xu You from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Shi is not a person who likes flattery. The reason why she admires Xu You so much is really from her heart.

Even if the experiment was successful, Lin Shi still could not fully understand Xu You's entire idea.

If it were Lin Shi himself, even if he had such a strong foundation in quantum physics, it would be difficult to directly predict the structure of porous cage-like matter based on this knowledge.

"Nothing. When you have a solid enough knowledge base and a sensitive enough sense of scientific research, you can also complete these tasks. Okay, next we need to discuss the optimal quantum screening conditions."

The adsorption capacity of new porous cage materials for deuterium gas has been confirmed, but the work on this topic is far from over.

We still need to find the most suitable conditions so that the porous cage material can exert its strongest adsorption capacity.

After Lin Shi looked through the experimental data these days, she replied to Xu You:

"According to the theory of quantum sieving, the factors that affect the effect of quantum sieving mainly include temperature, pressure, and the pore size of the material. But as for the pore size of the material, teacher, you should have calculated it in advance."

Lin Shi knew that among these conditions, the most important one was the pore size of the material.

If the pore size of the material is not appropriate, it will not adsorb deuterium gas at all and will have no effect on hydrogen gas.

Xu You also nodded when he heard this and said:

"Yes, as for the pore size of the material, I chose this special porous cage material after careful calculation. As for the most suitable deuterium gas adsorption conditions, it can be predicted theoretically based on the formula."

Hearing Xu You's words, Lin Shi also reacted and said quickly:

"Teacher, you mean to determine the most appropriate temperature range based on the function of de Broglie's wavelength and temperature?"

"That's right, just determine a temperature range first, and then conduct experiments within this range. Including the experiments we have done in the past few days, in fact, the most number of experiments have been conducted within this temperature range."

"I see. No wonder materials have better adsorption capacity for deuterium in these temperature ranges. I thought it was just a coincidence before, but it turns out that you have been there a long time ago."

Xu You smiled slightly as a response to Lin Shi.

…………

After the deuterium purification research project was completed, Xu You and other national strategic scientists discussed the application direction of controllable nuclear fusion.

Among them, the issues discussed mainly include the location of the establishment of commercial equipment for controllable nuclear fusion, various future application directions of controllable nuclear fusion, etc.

Because there are so many issues involved, every word you say has been carefully considered.

Faced with heavy pressure, Xu You showed no fear and was the first to stand up and express his views.

"I suggest that our first commercial controllable nuclear fusion plant should be located in the eastern coastal areas of Northern Hebei Province or Shandong Province."

After hearing Xu You's point of view, everyone's expressions were very serious.

Xu You's choice of address is quite similar to the choices of some people.

But everyone also wants to know, apart from his own position choice, what are the reasons why Xu You made such a choice.

"The first reason is that the raw materials such as deuterium and tritium required for nuclear fusion are extracted from seawater. In order to save the transportation cost of seawater, it is best to locate the factory in a coastal area."

For this reason, basically no one has any opinions. This is also one of the reasons that must be considered when building a controllable nuclear fusion plant.

"The second reason is that building a factory requires a large land occupation, so you cannot choose an area where land is too expensive. At the same time, the industrial level in the area must also be relatively developed."

"The third reason is that after the construction of the controllable nuclear fusion plant, I hope to give priority to solving the water shortage problem in North China. With enough energy, seawater desalination will become an extremely low-cost project..."

Xu You stated his opinions one by one, some of which everyone had thought of before, and some of which no one had thought of before.

However, after Xu You explained clearly the reasons why he made such a choice, no one had any objections to it.

After completing the discussion on site selection, everyone then discussed the application direction of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

"I just heard Professor Xu say that after building the factory, you hope to give priority to solving the water shortage problem in North China. This is indeed a big issue related to people's livelihood, but in addition to this application direction, we have many more important directions.

Can be applied."

Simply using controllable nuclear fusion to desalinize seawater is obviously overkill.

After hearing this question, Xu You calmly replied:

"Professor Wang is right. Just solving the problem of seawater desalination is not a very disruptive application, because even without the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, some countries are still carrying out seawater desalination projects. I

Of course there are many more innovative applications, but they may cause some problems that are difficult to control."

"Professor Xu, please speak."

"Controllable nuclear fusion can theoretically bring us almost unlimited energy, but before we use this technology wantonly, we must consider some of the consequences it may bring. The most important of these is global change.

It’s warm.”

After hearing Xu You's point of view, everyone couldn't help but fell into silence.

"The popularization of controllable nuclear fusion technology can reduce the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. From this perspective, it seems to be able to alleviate the greenhouse effect. However, at the same time, sufficient energy will inevitably bring about an increase in heat, which causes

The heating effect may be more serious than the greenhouse effect."
