I Have a Little Black Hole

That's the truth. It's impossible to use chemical fuel to drive a spacecraft, right? Even if our initial goal is to build a spacecraft that sails in the solar system, it's impossible to use chemical fuel as energy!

But boss, the most important thing for you at present should be to determine the direction of research and development, 1. Gravity field constraint; 2. Inertial constraint; 3. Magnetic constraint, which of these three methods should we choose.

Among them, the main controllable nuclear fusion method is laser confinement (inertial confinement) nuclear fusion (such as my country's Shenguang plan and the old and American national ignition plan are all in this form).

Magnetic confinement fusion (tokamak, stellarator, magnetic mirror, reverse field, spherical ring, etc.), which is currently considered the most promising.

We must first determine the direction of research and development, and then we can plan the following research and development work, otherwise it will be like a headless fly. ' suggested Kuafu.

Lei Tiantang nodded in agreement. After studying for such a long period of time, he has already understood the relevant research and development directions of nuclear fusion. To be honest, Lei Tiantang admires the brains of these scientists. They use their own The wisdom of nuclear fusion has laid the foundation for the birth of nuclear fusion energy in the future, but at present everyone is still in the primary research and development stage of nuclear fusion power generation.

For the development of fusion energy, it has been studied for 50 years, and it is expected to be widely used for another 50 years. What is the reason? The answer now is:

First, the understanding of plasma is still preliminary; plasma (), also known as plasma, is an ionized gas-like substance composed of atoms deprived of some electrons and positive and negative ions generated by ionization of atomic groups. The scale is larger than the Debye length. Macroscopically electrically neutral ionized gases whose motion is dominated by electromagnetic forces and exhibit remarkable collective behavior.

It exists widely in the universe and is often regarded as the fourth state of matter except solid, liquid and gas. Plasma is an excellent electrical conductor that can be trapped, moved and accelerated by cleverly engineered magnetic fields.

The development of plasma physics provides new technologies and processes for the further development of materials, energy, information, environmental space, space physics, geophysics and other sciences.

Many of the engines used in the spaceships in science fiction movies and novels are so-called plasma engines, that is, plasma engines, which can provide sufficient kinetic energy for the spaceship, allow the spaceship to travel at a speed close to the speed of light, and even enter the supersonic environment. Speed ​​of light state!

Lei Tiantang does not think that these applications of plasma can only be realized in science fiction movies or novels. As long as he continues to study hard in this area, science fiction will also become reality! His spaceship also needs such abundant kinetic energy!

Second, the various technologies supporting magnetic confinement (superconductivity, low temperature, ultra-high vacuum, microwave, materials, etc.) are very complex,

Because the deuterium-tritium reaction needs to generate strong neutron radiation of 14MeV, and it also needs to maintain the plasma with a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees for a long time, which poses a challenge to the existing human technology accumulation;

Third, the world has not yet formed a consistent timetable for the great changes in development, and it is difficult to concentrate human, material and financial resources. In this regard, Lei Tiantang wants to complain very much. Capitalists will never let inexhaustible energy sources like nuclear fusion become available until the fossil energy is exhausted.

There is no way to research such technology without money, and the capitalists who provide the funds can control the process of research and development. Why is nuclear fusion power generation always 50 years away from success?

The people are not all fools, but even if everyone knows the reason, there is no way to change the status quo, because without capital, there is no right to speak! The world is so real! The capitalists will never make the nuclear fusion power generation project successful until the wool of fossil energy has been cut, and even if it is successful, it will delay the construction and use of this energy!

It is also a joke to rely on cooperation between countries to promote such R\u0026D projects. Take the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, the most famous international cooperation project.

He has several investors, and the total investment amount is more than 10 billion US dollars, but everyone does not want to pay more, and they start to argue about who should pay more. After all, it is about money. , and no one wanted more, and it took a long time to reach an agreement.

Then there is the construction issue. The entire project construction has not been completed until now, and the reactor is scheduled to achieve the first plasma in December 2025. This means the reactor will be able to generate a large amount of charged gas called plasma inside its core. Deuterium-tritium fusion experiments are scheduled to begin in 2035.

It can be seen from this cooperation project that international cooperation is also unreliable, unless the world is now unified into one country, and then it will be possible to do such a thing.

Lei Tiantang can't wait that long, who knows what will happen in such a long time? What if a big meteorite hits down in a single year, and the entire Earth civilization is finished?

So it's better to do his own research. He researches in private, but he can research whatever he wants. He can manufacture anything, and he doesn't need to use the company's funds to support his research. I believe that the speed of research will never be slow. where did you go.

We choose the research and development direction of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion! I am still very strong in this research and development direction. There is no doubt that the celestial body with the strongest magnetic field is the black hole, and the strongest magnetic field in the black hole is the largest giant black hole.

Although the black hole I own is a small black hole, the strength of the magnetic field is almost unmatched except for super large black holes, and there is such a best entity to study the magnetic field. If you want to develop a magnetic field that binds nuclear fusion energy, I It still feels easy for me!

As for which structure to choose, tokamak, stellarator, magnetic mirror, reverse field, spherical ring, we have to consider and study, and even in the end we may choose at least two structures for study , because I think large-scale nuclear fusion power generation equipment and small nuclear fusion power generation equipment may not be the same structure!

Let's study these things slowly. Anyway, it is impossible to complete the study in one step. There are multiple paths, and there is one more possibility!

By the way, last time you told me that your computing power was not enough to increase so many R\u0026D projects at once? I'm going to add units to you tonight. How many units do I need to add this time to meet the research and development needs for a period of time in the future?
