Military vehicles drive on the road.
Tall trees on both sides flew past behind.
Tang Jianjun was sitting in the back seat of the car, staring at the information in his hands. He raised his head and asked anxiously, "How long will it take?"
The young soldier in military uniform in the front row turned his head and replied, "The road in the mountain is not easy to walk, and it will take another three hours."
He then said with concern, "Academician Tang, the journey has been long, you'd better get some sleep."
"good."
Tang Jianjun nodded nonchalantly.
He also knew that he should take a rest, but thinking that the research being conducted by the annihilation force field experimental team was probably an early experiment of nuclear fusion, or related to confined nuclear fusion, he couldn't sleep at all.
Confining nuclear fusion has been his lifelong pursuit.
As early as more than 20 years ago, he was studying confinement nuclear fusion technology and applied for the manufacture of a small Totmark magnetic confinement device.
After this device was manufactured, it was only briefly turned on a few times, and it has been sitting in the laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear Engineering Physics, almost becoming a pile of waste.
Studying controllable nuclear fusion using Totmark magnetic confinement is not that simple. A small confinement device can be called a 'model', and naturally it is impossible to carry out nuclear fusion reactions inside.
There is also related research internationally, with the highest investment even exceeding 10 billion US dollars, creating a medium-sized or larger Totmark magnetic confinement device, and simulating nuclear fusion experiments.
For research projects worth more than 10 billion US dollars, problems frequently arise during the experimental process, and many problems cannot be solved at all.
International nuclear fusion-related academic organizations believe that if you want to truly research practical controllable nuclear fusion technology, the minimum investment will exceed US$100 billion.
This does not mean that a controllable nuclear fusion device can be created by investing hundreds of billions of dollars. It is just research on relevant technical difficulties. It is difficult to say whether the technical difficulties can be solved.
Many scientists who are engaged in research and development in the field of nuclear fusion believe that “with the current level of science and technology, it is almost impossible to create a controllable nuclear fusion device.”
Tang Jianjun thought so too, until the technology to generate strong annihilation force fields emerged.
If you are looking for a way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, a strong annihilation force field wrapped in an antigravity field, coupled with Totmark ring magnetic confinement, would be the perfect match.
That’s why Tang Jianjun joined the F-ray research group.
He did not want to study F-rays, but to better understand the strong annihilation force field, understand the principles and physical characteristics of the device, and determine whether it could be used to constrain nuclear fusion.
After increasing his understanding, Tang Jianjun became more certain of his ideas.
The realization of controllable nuclear fusion relies on the F-ray generating device, so that the internal nuclear fusion reaction can be strongly constrained and become controllable.
pity……
Tang Jianjun knew very well that he did not have the prestige to apply for enough funding and enough support to study controllable nuclear fusion with an F-ray generating device.
Even if he can get support from higher-level departments or even enough financial support, he is already old and does not have enough energy to do it.
This is a very helpless place.
Now that it is known that the annihilation force field experimental group is conducting nuclear reactions inside a device similar to the F-ray generator, one can imagine Tang Jianjun's excitement. The purpose of his visit to the annihilation force field experimental group is to understand the relevant experimental techniques and to persuade
Wang Hao studies controllable nuclear fusion.
"If Wang Hao applies to study controllable nuclear fusion, he will definitely receive sufficient support."
"Wang Hao is still young and energetic..."
"He is the founder of the annihilation theory. No one knows the anti-gravity field and the strong annihilation force field better than him." Tang Jianjun was a little excited as he thought about it.
He really doesn't have enough energy to lead a team to complete such a major research, but as long as he can participate in it, he is satisfied to be responsible for a small part of the work.
…
Annihilation force field experimental base.
Wang Hao paid great attention to Tang Jianjun's arrival. He went out and waited for more than 20 minutes. When he saw the military vehicle slowly approaching, he immediately greeted it.
Tang Jianjun got out of the car and saw Wang Hao, and said excitedly, "Academician Wang, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
The last time the two met was at the Institute of Nuclear Engineering Physics.
At that time, Wang Hao took people over to inspect the spiral magnetic field device and determined that the device would be dismantled and transported to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center for experimentation.
Wang Hao took Tang Jianjun to visit the experimental base.
Along the way, Tang Jianjun was asking questions about the new experiment. When he learned that the initial experiment was just electric heating, he tentatively asked, "Will nuclear tests be conducted in the new antigravity field in the future?"
He said with emphasis, "Only by nuclear reaction can we provide enough heat."
Xiang Qiansheng followed beside him and looked at Tang Jianjun in surprise.
Most people will be very surprised and unbelievable when they hear that nuclear tests are to be carried out in an anti-gravity field, because nuclear tests are so dangerous.
This old academician actually took the initiative to ask, and he was still a little impatient?
Wang Haodao, "We will only consider it if we are sure it can be controlled."
After hearing this, Tang Jianjun nodded. After being silent for a long time, he simply asked directly, "Academician Wang, I think your new experimental technology is simply tailor-made for controllable nuclear fusion."
"Think about it, a strong annihilation force field can annihilate energy particles, and an antigravity field reduces particle activity, which means it lowers the upper limit of reaction intensity."
"If a layer of magnetic confinement is added to the outside, the nuclear fusion reaction can be effectively controlled..."
"Can we use this to study controllable nuclear fusion?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Hao with burning eyes.
Wang Hao just shook his head indifferently and said, "There is no consideration in this regard at the moment." He said to Tang Jianjun, "Academician Tang, you are right. The new experimental technology is indeed very suitable for controlling nuclear fusion reactions, but it is like trusting
The Tmark device can only theoretically achieve 100% magnetic confinement."
"The new experimental technology is used to control nuclear fusion reactions, and the error tolerance rate is really too low."
"As long as there is a little problem, it may be a very serious accident. Even if the equipment is manufactured, there will definitely be a series of problems."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Studying this technology now... the gain outweighs the loss!"
Wang Hao said with emotion, "I have also considered studying nuclear fusion, but with the current level of technology, it will take at least ten years to succeed."
"It's too long!"
"I still think that after more technologies or discoveries are made, it is better to consider doing research. For example, materials are very important for first-order elements. If there is a certain material that can withstand high temperatures of 10,000 degrees Celsius, think about it,
By the time……"
"..."
Wang Hao said a lot of things in succession.
But the following content was subconsciously blocked by Tang Jianjun. There was only one sentence lingering in his mind - 'it will take at least ten years to succeed'?
Ten years... talent?
Tang Jianjun was stunned, not knowing how to react.
If a team can create a complete nuclear fusion device in just ten years, it will probably quickly gain support from any institution around the world, right?
Ten years, is it a long time?
It took him a long time before he said, "Academician Wang, is there any generation gap between us in our concept of time?"
…
In fact, there is no generation gap between the two people's concept of time.
Wang Hao also knew that it took ten years to develop controllable nuclear fusion, but he was unwilling to spend such a long time focusing on one research.
Because he has an easier way.
For example, if you can have materials with higher melting points, continue to improve annihilation force field technology, and lay the relevant technical foundations, it will naturally be much easier to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.
It's like building a high-performance car.
If it were based solely on steam engine power technology, the cars produced would not only be huge, but also very pathetically fast.
If you have turbocharged engine technology in hand, it will naturally be very simple to use it as the power core to build high-performance cars.
Now that they can make rapid progress in basic technology, there is no need to spend a lot of time and energy studying controllable nuclear fusion with existing technology.
This is not worth the loss.
Wang Hao's explanation took Tang Jianjun to digest it for a long time.
