Chapter 64 (1/2)
It is not difficult to extract deuterium and tritium. Seawater contains a large number of deuterium and tritium elements. Even with the current technology of human beings, it is not difficult to extract deuterium and tritium, not to mention Nie Yun, a robot in hand.
Because of the abundant deuterium and tritium resources in the ocean, and the product of fusion is completely pollution-free helium, nuclear fusion is also considered to be the main energy technology for the future development of the earth!
However, the nuclear fusion environment requires an instantaneous high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, as well as an unimaginable high pressure environment. Even with the most advanced technology, it can not be achieved under normal circumstances.
And the only nuclear weapon that uses the principle of nuclear fusion - hydrogen bomb! It is to use fission reaction to create a fusion environment with high temperature and high pressure, so as to achieve the effect of initiating fusion reaction. This is the so-called atomic bomb detonator.
However, it's easy to detonate a hydrogen bomb, but it's not easy to make fusion reaction continue to supply energy under controlled conditions.
At present, several nuclear powers in the world are studying how to carry out stable nuclear fusion. This technology involves physics, materials science, mechanics, engineering and other basic disciplines. It has gathered a number of top talents. However, technical barriers still block the pace of human development.
There are two main technical difficulties in deuterium tritium fusion reaction. One is how to create a stable high temperature and high pressure environment, and the other is how to restrain the ultra-high temperature plasma in fusion.
However, Nie Yun, who has a robot in his hand, has finally come up with a bold idea after learning a lot of basic physics knowledge.
At 12 o'clock in the night of that day, after the number of mechanical insects officially exceeded 10000 tons, Nie Yun took the Hailang with all the mechanical insects and arrived at the scheduled experimental site hundreds of miles away from the base.
This is a small island reef that deviates from the trade route. There are no large islands within thousands of square kilometers nearby. No one will disturb Nie Yun. He can make his experiment quietly.
The mechanical insects soon leveled the island reef, which is only about 10 square meters, and formed a small circular platform. Nie Yun took the Hailang to command the island at 3000 meters in the deep sea several miles away.
No way, Nie Yun is not sure about this thing, so he has enough safe distance.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint thunder. It seemed that a sea storm was coming.
Nie Yun is half lying on the broad captain's chair, closing his eyes to control the mechanical insects on the platform.
On the center of the flattened circular platform, there are three silvery white scaffolds with top tip and bottom width. The tips of the stents are close together to form a standard triangular vertebral body.
At the tip of the scaffold, a football shaped transparent polyhedron ball the size of a baby's fist is stably placed. In the center of the ball, a very small metal particle is suspended, which contains the purified deuterium tritium mixture.
The interior of the ball is vacuum, and under Nie Yun's design, this transparent polyhedron made of mechanical insects is a super strong magnetic confinement.
The current is transmitted to the ball through three supports, providing energy for magnetic confinement.
The preliminary preparation work is completed. Under the control of Nie Yun, hundreds of silver white spines suddenly grow around the platform, and the dense tips are evenly distributed and aligned with the small ball.
Nie Yun takes a deep breath -- the experiment begins!
The top of the first spike suddenly lights up, and a very thin high-energy laser suddenly shoots out from the tip, instantly stabs into the transparent ball, and then refracts repeatedly inside the small ball to form a complex reflection light path, and finally reaches the central position and irradiates on the small metal particles.
”Hooray! Laser ray path calculation is accurate, next step, start! ” Nie Yun thought silently.
