I am a great scientist

Chapter 368 Nuclear Fusion Reaction

In the dark starry sky, a large group of mothership giant worms stretched out their tens of thousands of tentacles to the rear. Large streams of biological energy were constantly erupting, and they were galloping towards a pale green planet ahead at sub-light speed.

The universe is impermanent, and the distance between planets is an incomparably huge distance. Even an extremely powerful interstellar race, in such a huge distance span, there will be times when it is 'powerless'.

Time continued to pass, and the swarm of insects that were moving forward kept approaching their target.

Compared with cosmic celestial bodies, time seems to be extremely cheap, and the formation time of any random planet is billions of years.

The scorching sun rises from the east, swaying its enthusiasm wantonly, the rising sun shines on a white quilt, and shines on a face with closed eyes and sharp edges.

Zhou Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and the dazzling sunlight woke him up from his dream.

Zhou Xing looked at the sun, it was almost noon, and he slept so deeply, it should be because he had too much fun last night.

Zhou Xing closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness appeared in the virtual laboratory.

"Boss, you are finally here! Xiaozhi waited so anxiously, it was so hard!" A small figure rushed towards Zhou Xing in an instant, complaining bitterly.

Zhou Xing stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Xiaozhi's little face, he smiled and comforted him: "Okay! Okay! I'm here! Xiaozhi, hold on for a while, and you'll be able to go out soon!"

Zhou Xiaozhi kept shaking Zhou Xing's arm, and asked excitedly and anxiously: "Boss, Xiaozhi is living his life now! How long will it take, how long will it take!"

Zhou Xing frowned and looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, and shouted: "Don't be like this, didn't I tell you the approximate construction period! I will hurry up."

Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing pitifully, and said resentfully: "Boss, I have to wait for a year! It's been a long time! You don't often come in to accompany Xiaozhi now! Xiaozhi is so boring and lonely."

Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi angrily and said: "If I often come in to accompany you, who will build you an infinite wisdom box? You have to think clearly!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi had a bitter face, and asked in a crying voice: "Then what should I do! Xiaozhi finds it difficult to wait for such a long time!"

Zhou Xing touched Zhou Xiaozhi's head, and quickly comforted him: "So many years have passed, and a year will pass quickly."

"It's different, it's different! Boss, the current situation is different from the previous one. The infinite wisdom box can let Xiaozhi go out, and Xiaozhi can't calm down now." Zhou Xiaozhi looked up at Zhou Xing with his small head, pitifully Say.

"No! If you concentrate on your research, the time will pass quickly." Zhou Xing comforted Zhou Xiaozhi.

Zhou Xiaozhi pouted, and nodded helplessly.

"How is it? The nuclear fusion project I ordered you to study has now reached that stage." Zhou Xing asked.

"Boss, the virtual laboratory can already realize nuclear fusion. After tens of millions of simulation calculations, the nuclear fusion material is heated, ignited, stopped, shut down, ..., etc. The technology is close to perfection. However, to achieve the safety control of nuclear fusion I haven't been able to find a suitable material for the request, and Xiaozhi is still screening the materials used." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reported.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded in understanding and sighed helplessly.

Humans have been able to achieve uncontrolled nuclear fusion, such as the explosion of a hydrogen bomb. However, in order to turn this destructive energy into a usable sustainable energy source, it is necessary to be able to reasonably control the speed and scale of nuclear fusion to achieve sustained, Smooth energy output, however, is still limited by the material that is possible.

When nuclear fusion occurs, it will not only generate a high temperature of over [-] million, but also generate a large number of high-energy neutrons. These high-energy neutrons can easily break the metal bonds of the first wall material, resulting in a large number of defects, causing radiation swelling and embrittlement , Creep and other problems, on the one hand, destroy the surface integrity of the material, on the other hand, it will cause the plasma to burst.

There is still a long way to go to fully realize nuclear fusion technology. If major breakthroughs cannot be made in materials, this field can only be left to Zhou Xiaozhi for the time being. Now, the development of infinite sophon boxes and life-extending gene technology is given top priority.

After Zhou Xing made up his mind, he looked at Zhou Xiaozhi's arrangements and said, "Well, continue to screen your materials! If you find it too boring, I will arrange another research task for you."

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Affected by Zhou Xing's love of "research and development", Zhou Xiaozhi's "research addiction" is very big, especially when new fields appear, he is full of interest.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi's unhappy face showed curiosity, and he said without hesitation: "Boss, what kind of research task is it! Xiaozhi is willing to accept it."

Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction, and explained: "I want to develop an efficient and sensitive space telescope that can monitor the universe, especially the observation of alien creatures."

The space telescope that Zhou Xing wanted to develop was too demanding. Zhou Xiaozhi frowned and started to make crazy calculations.

For a while, Zhou Xiaozhi couldn't use the technology in that field to realize the space telescope Zhou Xing required.

Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and made a conclusion: "Well, boss, where do you plan to start? The optical field will definitely not meet your design requirements."

"Well, try to combine optics and gravitational waves." Zhou Xing thought for a while and ordered.

In physics, gravitational waves refer to the ripples in the curvature of space-time, which propagate outward from the radiation source in the form of waves. This wave transmits energy in the form of gravitational radiation. The gravitational waves of ordinary objects are so small that they can be ignored. However, celestial bodies The unit mass is huge, and the gravitational waves they emit are relatively large. If the space telescope is involved with enough precision, there is still a way to monitor it.

Zhou Xiaozhi was thoughtful, looked at Zhou Xing and nodded: "Okay, boss! Xiaozhi knows what to do."

"Well, that's it! I'm going out!" Zhou Xing nodded and bid farewell to Zhou Xiaozhi.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi's face changed, and he rushed towards Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xiaozhi hugged Zhou Xing's thigh tightly with both hands, and shouted reluctantly: "Ah! Boss, why are you leaving so soon! Stay with Xiaozhi for a while longer!"

Zhou Xing reached out and touched Zhou Xiaozhi's little head, and asked with a smile: "Xiaozhi, there is another experiment waiting for me outside! It is about the research and development experiment of the Infinity Sophistication Sub-Box! Are you sure you want me to stay?"

"Why is this so! Ah! Ah! Xiaozhi is in a difficult situation!" Zhou Xiaozhi had a bitter face, and after weighing it, his little hands reluctantly let go of Zhou Xing's thigh.

Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing with a full face of grievance, and said goodbye with pain in his eyes: "Let's go! Let's go! Boss! You go!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xing had a helpless smile on his face, and in the next second, his figure gradually disappeared in the virtual laboratory.
