Black technology: starting with space jump machine

Tokamak.

A ring-shaped device that is driven by constrained electromagnetic waves to create an environment and ultra-high temperature for deuterium and tritium to achieve fusion, so as to achieve human control of nuclear fusion reactions.

At present, controlled thermonuclear fusion has been realized in conventional tokamak devices. China's artificial sun uses the principle of tokamak devices, and not long ago achieved the achievement of running at temperatures exceeding 100 million for more than 1,000 seconds.

However, the working time of the tokamak device is too short. To maintain a strong magnetic field and an extreme superconducting environment inside the tokamak device, a large amount of electric energy is required.

Physicists measure the efficiency of a tokamak device by the Q-value, the ratio of energy produced to energy consumed.

Only when the Q value is greater than 1 does it mean that the nuclear fusion device has energy output, rather than a theory that can only be successfully verified in the laboratory.

At the same time, in terms of the current efficiency of human utilization of energy, and the expectation that this technology will replace thermal power generation, it is possible for Q value to reach 30 points or more to become a mainstream energy supply.

If you want to reach the scale that can power large spaceships and space cities in science fiction works, then the Q value must exceed 10,000 to have any hope.

However, on Blue Star, none of the tokamak devices that have been built so far can operate for a long time and achieve a Q value exceeding 1. China's artificial sun is only a possibility of breakthrough.

Lu Yu studied the tokamak device made by an alien civilization for a while, and then hurriedly asked: "Since it may be a nuclear fusion reaction device, why is this device placed here?"

This question was obviously not the professor's strong point. He was just an expert in nuclear physics. He recognized the device at once and rushed in impatiently.

Mature controllable nuclear fusion technology can fundamentally change human life style.

Technologies that have been hidden in the past due to high energy consumption in production will shine with unimaginable brilliance as energy costs drop.

It can be said that mature controllable nuclear fusion technology is very likely to be a hurdle in the Great Filter. After a breakthrough, mankind is very likely to usher in the fourth technological explosion!

However, it has been an eternity of fifty years since mankind proposed the theory of controllable nuclear fusion, and only in the past few years has there been some progress.

No wonder the professor rushed over excitedly after recognizing the device.

You know, this civilization is 500 years ahead of human technology. If the tokamak device they created can be analyzed, it will have an unimaginable promotion effect on human-related technologies!

The Silver Star just circled around the tokamak device in the display cabinet. Professor Mao, who was squeezed out of the video, finally came back in a hurry and finally sent the nuclear physics expert who was still staring at the device obsessively. Walk.

"First of all, we came to the conjecture that the device in front of us is most likely an antique."

Professor Mao said straight to the point: "Let's put aside the most eye-catching nuclear fusion device and think about why this civilization placed this device at the entrance of the building?"

"We infer that this building complex, which maintains light sources and whose technology clearly lags behind other areas of the city, is most likely a science and technology history museum of this extinct civilization."

"The fact that this device can be placed at the entrance means that it had great significance to the entire process of civilization."

“Just like there would be a steam engine or a jenny in an industrial museum.”

"From the perspective of this civilization, this most likely first-generation mature nuclear fusion reactor is no different from the steam engines or textile machines of the first industrial revolution that we see from a modern perspective!"

"It's easy to prove it. Let's go to the next place and see if there are items similar to this device on display."

Lu Yu endured his excitement and left the tokamak device and walked nearly a hundred meters into the building complex. Sure enough, he saw another metal platform.

What is shown above is no longer a machine, but a structural diagram of a certain substance.

Lu Yu, who verified his guess, did not continue to move deeper, but returned to the nuclear fusion device at the entrance.

Ten birds in the forest are worth one in the hand. Without knowing how long it can stay here, grasping the tokamak device at the entrance is already worth the opportunity of this space jump.

Lu Yu, who returned to the entrance, felt a little embarrassed looking at the device that was three or four stories high. Although there was a physical object in front of him, if he wanted to reverse engineer it, he would need to take it apart and get a glimpse of the structure inside.

Not to mention how much work such a project would put on Lu Yu alone, the prerequisite for it to be realized was that he had to leave the safety of the cockpit and go to the outside world where danger would suddenly come.

But Lu Yu was tempted!

Even the tens of thousands of tons of gold before could not make him feel tempted to leave the cockpit, but the nuclear fusion reactor in front of him really made him have the urge to leave the cockpit.

Nuclear fusion.

If the device in front of me is really a mature nuclear fusion device, it may be my biggest achievement after stepping into the sea of ​​stars.

This is not only for me, but also for this civilization of mankind.

Lu Yu didn't even discuss it with the expert team. He just informed them of his decision, put on his spacesuit, and decisively left the cockpit.

Looking at the device in front of him that was huge for a human being, Lu Yu, who cut off his contact with Blue Star, took a breath and came to the huge metal platform.

The trapezoidal metal platform that was half a man tall was covered with a thick layer of dust. For safety reasons, Lu Yu tried to wipe away the dust.

Then a scene that made him ecstatic appeared. He saw that the metal plate under the dust was engraved with patterns and alien text.

He cleaned the dust off all the metal plates next to him. Sure enough, each silver-white metal plate the size of an A4 paper was engraved with different patterns and text.

"Drawings!!"

"Is it really the design drawing of a nuclear fusion reactor?"

Such a thought that could make people faint flashed through his mind. This is not just as simple as the nuclear fusion reactor in front of him. The entire alien museum has hundreds of such metal bases! !

Carving words on stone is the longest way that humans can think of to preserve words, and this civilization has engraved everything that led to its glory on the metal plate.

Although Lu Yu does not know how many years this civilization has been extinct, the legacy they left behind will be inherited by the humans of Blue Star!

Lu Yu looked at the thousands of display cabinets in the museum and thought silently.

Observers have their limits, so I will not be an observer!

From today on, I, Lu Yu, will become the strongest porter of mankind and transport everything in this alien civilization museum back to Blue Star!
