Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 385 γ Nickel, Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology Debuts

The module program supplement for artificial intelligence Xiaoqi is being carried out along with the artificial synthesis of unnatural elements.

During the daytime, Won is making the equipment and instruments needed to synthesize unnatural elements, and after dinner, he is used to write supplementary modules.

On days like this, it seems to be back to the time when the third-level task only sleeps four hours a day, and he is constantly busy.

Those giant insects who don't know where they came from really put a lot of pressure on Won.

Especially knowing that these giant insects may pose a great threat to the earth, Won is even more worried.

Human beings will always have only one earth.

Even if his appearance will speed up the entry of human civilization into space, it will still take time and resources on the earth.

And even if you enter space, you don't know how long it will take to find another planet suitable for human habitation.

The terrestrial planets discovered by humans are all far away from the earth.

'Kepler-90.00b', which is more than 452% similar to the earth's environment, is 1400 light-years away from the earth.

And even 'Teegarden b', known as the Earth brother, is a full 12.5 light-years away from the Earth.

If the target is a little closer, it will be a full 4.2 light-years away from the nearest star system to the sun, the Proxima Centauri galaxy.

The distance of 4.2 light years is still an extremely distant astronomical figure for the current human beings.

The Voyager 1977 probe, launched as early as 1, is now about 225 billion kilometers away from the earth.

It sounds very far, but in fact the distance of a light year is 9460730472580 kilometers, more than 600 billion kilometers.

The distance traveled by Voyager 1 is not even a fraction of a light-year.

Therefore, at least in the next 100 or even 200 years, the earth will be the most suitable place for human beings to live.

And even if humans can immigrate to other alien planets, no one will allow alien creatures to come to the earth to cause damage.

At least Korean Won is not allowed.

So in addition to completing the system's tasks, his next goal is to find a way to deal with this giant insect.

After spending nearly a week, South Korea finally manufactured the equipment for smelting gamma nickel.

Artificially smelting and synthesizing unnatural elements is not too difficult for South Korean won, but that only refers to the case of completing tasks.

If it's just for completing the task, this short week is enough for him to get out three allotropes, not just a γ-nickel smelting instrument.

However, the three unnatural elements selected by Han Yuan are all materials that will be used later, and the difficulty of smelting is not at the same level as the difficulty of completing the task.

Han Yuan felt more and more that every task, the task requirements put forward by the system were like the teacher assigning homework when he was in school, checking whether he had studied hard.

After all, most of the time, the knowledge he uses to complete the tasks of this system is given by this system.

And sometimes some independent research and development materials appear, when independent research and development or triggering tasks, they need to use their own knowledge, which is like a teacher checking whether a student has innovation ability.

There is more than one instrument for smelting and synthesizing γ-nickel. In fact, it is a complete assembly line including high-temperature furnaces, electric arc furnaces, extractors, electrolysis equipment, autoclaves, filters, centrifuges, etc. .

Of course, most of them are alloy smelting equipment that existed before, otherwise, the Korean won would not be able to get them out in a week.

In fact, during this week, he manufactured and modified only three pieces of equipment.

The newly added autoclave and the modified centrifuge and extractor.

Autoclave is one of the core equipment for manufacturing gamma nickel.

It is necessary to change the properties of ordinary nickel through it, and to disrupt and reorganize the internal metal lattice, crystal system and molecular structure.

The audience in the live broadcast room were very interested in the new things that Won had been working on for a whole week, and asked questions one after another.

[What is this thing?How does it look like a large rice cooker? 】

[From the appearance, it looks a bit like a pressure kettle, but from the previous internal structure, it is obviously not. 】

[I can be sure that the internal structure of the autoclave is not like this! 】

[So it is a rice cooker. 】

[Electric rice. . . . .Boil your sister! 】

【Come on, let's go. My sister pulled me over and let him cook. 】

[I'll burn your mother! 】

[Come on, let's go. My mother also digs it out and cooks it for this young hero]

[Don't make trouble, the anchor, tell me what the hell is this? 】

[It should be used to smelt alloys. 】

[It's all put in the alloy smelting factory. Who doesn't know that it's used to smelt alloys, aren't you talking nonsense upstairs? 】

Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but also scientists from all over the world are more interested in this weird thing.

Every new device in this live broadcast room has its unique use, and it is likely to be related to the emergence of a new material or new technology.

Just like the "electrothermal-ion doping technology" a long time ago, it uses a set of weird equipment.

And it is such a set of equipment that directly broke the market monopoly of ion implanters.

Han Yuan looked at the barrage and said with a smile: "This is not for steaming rice, but for making the allotrope of nickel 'γ-nickel'."

[Gamma Nickel? 】

[Nickel allotrope, what's the use? 】

[Is it the nickel from Aoyama? 】

[Gamma is γ in the Greek alphabet, it looks a lot like our letter Y, so it is called demon nickel! 】

[Speaking of which, did the Qingshan incident come to fruition?Seems like Aoyama raised enough nickels, right? 】

[Mom made a move, of course. 】

[There is no result, the West is cheating, no deal. 】

【Why? 】

[People customize the rules, what else can you do if you don't want to play? 】

[A strong country is truly strong! 】

Han Yuan glanced at the bullet screen of the discussion, and said, "γ Ni is actually preparing for the live broadcast later."

"γ nickel is an allotrope of nickel, which has a neat honeycomb hexagonal lattice, and the peripheral electron arrangement is 3d84s2, and it has a stronger corrosion resistance than ordinary nickel or nickel alloys."

"Gamma nickel has almost all the metallic properties of ordinary nickel. In addition, gamma nickel also has a very important role."

"Gamma nickel is super resistant to neutron irradiation and is one of the core materials of the first wall material in a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. It is used to resist neutron irradiation and maintain the stability of the first wall."

"However, gamma nickel is more toxic to the human body than ordinary nickel. If gamma nickel ions are inhaled by mistake, it only takes 70-260 μg/d to kill a person."

"And this number is the amount of nickel ions that ordinary people normally need to ingest in a day"

The tone of Han Yuan's speech was very flat, but it caused an uproar in the live broadcast room.

Although the audience could not understand those nouns, everyone could understand the term controllable nuclear fusion.

[Controllable nuclear fusion! ! ! ! ! 】

[Mom, is the anchor preparing for controlled nuclear fusion now? 】

[It's coming, it's finally here. 】

[Can I see controlled nuclear fusion in my lifetime? 】

[Nickel seems to have only isotopes, no allotropes, right? 】

[I can't hear what is anti-neutron radiation, what is poisonous, I only know that it is a key material for controllable nuclear fusion!Go, go, go! 】

[I have a hunch that the price of nickel in the world will skyrocket tomorrow, and it may be comparable to silver and gold. 】

[Gamma nickel, gamma nickel, demon nickel, this is really true. 】

[Good guy, I'll just call him good guy, the news that the anchor said before that made us eat up is waiting here. 】

[Really eat a catty! 】

[Speaking of which, I am preparing materials for controllable nuclear fusion. When will my nuclear bomb be built? 】

[Anchor: It’s almost time, don’t rush, let me finish the controllable nuclear fusion first. 】

[What's so interesting about nuclear bombs? Let's get controllable nuclear fusion first. If you want to see it, the country can release it for you. 】

When Han Yuan said that gamma nickel is the key material for controllable nuclear fusion, the live broadcast room exploded in an instant.

Although everyone knows that controlled nuclear fusion technology will be seen in this live broadcast room in the near future, no one knows how long it will take.

After all, the anchor has never clearly stated the time.

But now, he is already preparing materials related to controllable nuclear fusion, which shows that controllable nuclear fusion is really not far away.

Compared with most of the audience in the live broadcast room, scientific researchers from various countries are more excited.

Controlled nuclear fusion, a wonderful technology that has lasted for 25 years and 25 years, still has too many problems that have not been resolved.

As a result, many people have lost confidence in it, questioning whether it is worthwhile for humans to spend countless money and resources on a technology with no end in sight.

Question whether controlled nuclear fusion can really be as good as imagined.

Question whether this is a big lie, a lie used by capitalists to deceive the whole world.

Just like the "Haruko Obokata's counterfeiting incident" that happened in the small island country back then.

It's just that controlled nuclear fusion is a super-large fraud case involving all human beings and all countries.

Of course, there are only a few people who have these ideas, and the vast majority of people still agree.

It's just that there are still too many problems in this technology waiting for humans to solve.

Such as the first wall material, plasma confinement, helium ash loss, self-sustainment of tritium, neutron radiation, energy export and so on.

Among them, neutron irradiation and first-wall materials are actually a large category that can be solved together.

Among the controllable nuclear fusion technologies, DT controllable nuclear fusion is currently considered by various countries to be the most promising one.

However, DT controllable nuclear fusion will release a large amount of neutron beams during the reaction process, causing damage to the controllable nuclear fusion device as a whole, thereby greatly shortening the service life of the equipment.

Some people may say that since DT controllable nuclear fusion can release neutron beams, wouldn’t it be enough to study another fusion method that does not release neutron beams?
Indeed, besides DT controllable fusion, there are also tritium-helium 3 controllable fusion and helium 3*helium 3 controllable fusion among the controllable nuclear fusion researched by human beings.

Tritium-helium 3 controlled nuclear fusion releases few neutrons and hardly needs much protection, while helium 3*helium 3 controlled nuclear fusion does not release neutrons.

So why do humans have to hang themselves on a tree in the "tritium-deuterium" controllable nuclear fusion, instead of trying other things?
This involves the principle of controllable nuclear fusion and the amount of energy released by controllable nuclear fusion.

In fact, the conditions for atomic nuclei to undergo fusion are quite simple.

As long as the reactant of nuclear fusion, that is, the nucleus moves fast enough, or its own kinetic energy is high enough, then the two nuclei are close enough, and the fusion reaction can happen.

Note that this is a possibility, not a certainty.

Because atomic nuclei also have their own extranuclear electric field, it will repel other atomic nuclei.

So it takes a certain amount of energy to help nuclei get closer to other nuclei.

From this perspective, DT fusion is more advantageous than tritium-helium 3 fusion and helium 3*helium 3.

For DT controllable nuclear fusion, as long as the nuclear kinetic energy of D or T exceeds 10 keV, the probability of fusion reaction is considerable.

The remaining two, whether tritium-helium 3 fusion or helium 3*helium 3 fusion, require higher energy levels
The need for a higher energy level is only one problem, but there are other problems that come with it.

For example, if the required energy level is higher, the confinement of the atomic nucleus requires a stronger force field and more powerful materials and technologies.

Therefore, DT controllable nuclear fusion is the most suitable for human beings. Although it has neutrons, its input and harvest are directly proportional.

For human beings, the energy level of 10keV is simply a drop in the bucket.

In the past, the picture tube TVs in every household, that is, black and white TVs, could do this.

The voltage of the high-voltage pack in a black and white TV can generally be 30KV, which can easily accelerate D or T nuclei to 30 keV.

It is like accelerating the electron beam emitted by the electron gun in the picture tube.

In this way, particle accelerators can be used for nuclear fusion.

Because as long as the D or T nuclei above 10 keV have a center-to-center collision, and the distance between the two is close to the range of nuclear force (10 to the minus 15th power meter), the DT fusion reaction will occur.

It is true that particle accelerators can produce nuclear fusion reactions, but the accompanying problem is still the repulsion between nuclei.

In a particle accelerator, the D nuclei shot at the T target will repel and scatter the D nuclei because the T nuclei of the T target have their own extranuclear electric field, so that not all D nuclei can hit the T target for fusion.

大约需要发生10000000（1000万次）散射，损失10000000（1000万）个加速后的D原子核后，才有可能发生1次DT聚变。

If calculated mathematically, the input energy is: 10000000*10KeV=100000MeV.

The energy of a DT nuclear fusion is: 1*17.6MeV=17.6MeV.

It can be seen from this that using particle accelerators to produce controlled nuclear fusion is a method that cannot make ends meet.

Although it is true that it can produce fusion reactions, it cannot obtain fusion energy.

To develop controllable nuclear fusion technology, human beings need to obtain energy from this technology, rather than investing a lot of energy for it.

Since this is the case, some people may say, can I wrap something found in the particle accelerator to prevent the D nucleus from running out, and let it keep spinning in the particle accelerator?
Some people think so, and so do scientists.

And this problem is a problem that human beings have not solved until now.

D atoms and T atoms will generate high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees when they fuse with T atoms, but human beings cannot find a material that can wrap the high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees generated by DT nuclear fusion.

Even if confinement with a magnetic field is possible, the large number of neutrons produced during DT fusion can wreak havoc on the equipment that creates the magnetic field.

This is the problem of neutron irradiation.
