From black technology to super engineering

Today, even though mankind has entered the interstellar era, there are still two areas that have not achieved substantial breakthroughs.

One is room temperature superconductivity, and the other is cold nuclear fusion.

The current superconducting technology is still "high-temperature superconducting", that is, superconducting using low temperature and pressurized technology, which is far from the kind that people think can exist in a normal state at room temperature and maintain superconducting properties.

But even if it is far behind, room temperature superconductivity can still expect a special material to suddenly appear.

In contrast, cold nuclear fusion is too magical.

In essence, if fusion of two kinds of atoms at normal temperature and pressure is realized, this is no different from the highest level of "alchemy" and should be classified as magic.

The current controllable nuclear fusion is thermonuclear fusion, which follows the path of simulating the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of stars, but through the continuous improvement of materials and design, the current controllable nuclear fusion generally begins to take the path of high pressure—basically reaching O- The limit of the Grct crystal generating force field, in exchange for the result is that the required temperature has dropped by almost 500 million degrees, greatly reducing the difficulty of ignition.

But still the same sentence, human pursuit of technology is infinite.

When it was found that the use of conventional technology in this universe had come to an end visible to the naked eye—unless a new material was born that could produce a stronger vibo force field—a group of scientists with active minds began to set their sights on The current hot two-dimensional field.

"This is our initial model."

Since technology is involved, it is inappropriate to sit in the living room and chat. Soon everyone entered the conference room, and Director Huo Liang gave a technical explanation.

The virtual projection on the conference table shows a clever design based on two-dimensional space-in fact, a lot of geometric compositions.

Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming: "How is it? Do you dare to do it?"

Ye Ming has been in deep thought ever since Professor Huo Liang came out of cold nuclear fusion, and it was no exception until now. He didn't answer right away, but closed his eyes and kept blinking his eyelids.

Everyone has been dealing with him for a long time, knowing that he is constantly calculating in his mind, so they waited quietly.

After a while, Ye Ming opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The theory can pass."

"Of course it can pass, it's the theory of your Multidimensional Space Research Institute."

"But the fractal design needs to be redesigned, and the constraint system and navigation system also need to be redesigned...well, but these are all okay." Ye Ming breathed out slowly, and flicked five fingers on the desktop quickly Play it, as if playing the piano: "Let me think about it, in fact, there are experimental conditions now."

Professor Huo Liang was slightly taken aback: "How to experiment?"

"The physics center has a verification system for two-dimensional membrane generators, but the width of both the constraining force field and the two-dimensional expansion is very limited. Currently, it is testing the dimensionality reduction properties of materials for the Institute of Materials."

After his words fell, Professor Huo Liang clenched his fists: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"To redesign, let's figure out fusion first—and I have a new idea."

"What new idea?"

"We don't need to use such an exaggerated material as a neutron film as a substrate in a two-dimensional space. We only need to use an atomic layer. In this way, materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes can be used." Ye Ming said with eyes It gradually brightened, and the voice was full of joy.

"If it can be achieved, then we can really achieve miniaturization in energy!"

Ye Ming said and stood up: "Let's design first, and then I will notify Sheng Fei to prepare for the experiment!"

...

Three days later, a group of pitch-black commercial vehicles drove out of Jiangcheng under the clearing of a number of police cars, and then drove onto the expressway.

In the past ten years, highways across the country have expanded their service areas. While gradually canceling gas stations, a large number of fast charging parking spaces have been added.

On today's highways, except for trucks, it is almost impossible to see gasoline trucks, and even if they are trucks, most of them have introduced automatic driving functions.

Under Aita's control, even though the traffic on the road was like a long queue, it did not affect the speed of the vehicle at all. In less than an hour and a half, the convoy arrived at the provincial capital and then drove into the Provincial Communications Museum.

"Where is it?" As soon as he got out of the car, Professor Huo Liang looked around. Although he is an old teacher at the Provincial Jiaotong University, he left the school after becoming the director of the Controllable Nuclear Fusion Center. Now he returns to the Provincial Jiaotong University. His eyes caught black.

"The basement of the laboratory building."

Ye Ming led the crowd along the tree-shaded road towards the laboratory building. Fortunately, there are still a few days before school starts, otherwise the appearance of this group of them may cause a sensation.

At the entrance of the laboratory building, everyone exchanged a few words with Sheng Fei and others who were waiting here, and then went straight to the basement.

...

"This is graphene, this is the lead sheet with the highest purity, this is the confinement circuit we assembled overnight, and this is the deuterium-tritium tank."

In the basement, Sheng Fei, who has been occupying the test model of the two-dimensional space expander, introduced it to Ye Ming. At the end, he glanced at the crowd and was extremely nervous: "Mr. Ye, when the experiment is over, the experimenter will I'm afraid Lou is going to clear the place?"

Ye Ming looked at the group of people who were huddled next to the small ring-shaped two-dimensional expander, and laughed: "Of course, I just brought everyone over to have a look."

Sheng Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, I thought you guys wanted to see it."

"Sheng Fei, do you usually clear the room when you do experiments?" Professor Huo Liang's voice sounded, and he walked over and looked at him happily.

"It was only cleared once at the beginning of the experiment, and it was not cleared later. But... Mr. Huo, this time you are doing nuclear fusion!" Sheng Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "What if this thing becomes uncontrollable?" ..."

"Don't worry, we will control the fusion fuel, at most the energy of a grenade at the beginning."

"I can't stand the grenade exploding here. Can it be lower? Make a firecracker?"

"It's meaningless to be low." Ye Ming shook his head with a smile, and then walked towards the two-dimensional expander.

From the appearance, it is a large ring with a diameter of about two meters supported in mid-air. It is densely covered with dimensional wave restraints. Below the ring is an anti-gravity force field generating device. Its function is Suspend the matter so that it can be contacted by the two-dimensional space membrane and perform two-dimensional expansion-after expansion, it is necessary to perform compression constraints and fix the two-dimensional space on the "smoothest" substrate material.

So far, the smoothest material is naturally a neutron film.

But that thing... let's put it this way, if the last experiment was based on the conventional input-output ratio, then the cost of that small neutron film was as high as one billion.

Fortunately, graphene is cheap and theoretically feasible.

Seeing Ye Ming coming, everyone stopped discussing.

"So we're ready to start?"
