The air in the box seemed to condense into a solid form at this moment. No one expected that Lingchuan was actually an expert in the field of nuclear energy.
For "nuclear", ordinary people may think of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants.
But in fact, "nuclear" has a special mission. It has been recognized by all countries in the world and is the winner or loser in reshuffling the world structure.
Why do you say that?
Everyone has the desire for hegemony.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if a major country develops technology to intercept nuclear weapons, it can completely break the existing pattern and make its own country the leader.
Without the technology to intercept nuclear weapons, who dares to stand up and break the current situation?
Obviously.
No country dares to do this.
In addition to the subdivision of nuclear weapons, "nuclear" also plays a major role in the energy field.
Today's nuclear power plants all use nuclear fission technology. This technology requires a large amount of water for cooling, and also produces a steady stream of nuclear wastewater.
It is worth mentioning here that there is an essential difference between nuclear wastewater and nuclear sewage.
Nuclear wastewater is wastewater that has not come into contact with nuclear fission devices, only participates in heat dissipation, and meets United Nations emission standards.
But nuclear sewage is generally caused by damage to the isolation device of the nuclear power plant and direct contact of seawater or river water with the sewage generated by the nuclear fission device.
Nuclear sewage not only contains a large number of radioactive elements, but also exceeds the standard. Once it is directly discharged, it will cause the death of marine life in the least, and cause deformities in the worst case.
Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is much more environmentally friendly.
Assuming that magnetic confinement can control nuclear fusion, then it does not need to rely on a steady stream of seawater or river water for heat dissipation like nuclear fission.
Whoever controls the nuclear power will have the upper hand in the 21st century. This is an unspoken rule that all countries default to.
After Wang Shan came to his senses, he glanced at the men and women in the box, and finally focused on Chen Xing and asked: "Brother Chen, aren't these all experts in the field of nuclear energy?"
When he said this, his voice trembled visibly.
If there are so many nuclear energy experts to help, why worry about the nuclear fusion project failing?
“Gulu.”
Qin Long swallowed secretly, his eyes full of expectation, hoping for further confirmation from Chen Xing.
“That’s right”
Chen Xing didn’t sell out. He nodded in confirmation and introduced: “These are our Longxing Group’s talents with potential in the direction of nuclear energy.”
"Hiss——"
The words fell.
Wang Shan, Qin Long and others took a breath of cold air.
They really didn’t expect that Longxing Group had such a foundation.
Before they could speak, Chen Xing added: "Originally, I thought that after the advent of room temperature superconducting materials, we would start developing controlled nuclear fusion. But since the country already has corresponding projects, we, Longxing Group, Of course I have to do something.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Fengzhi nodded slightly and continued: "Yes, sirs, my name is Zhuge Fengzhi. I have been working at Longxing Group for a year. I usually assist in the research and development of lithium batteries, but I major in high energy. Neutron protection device."
"High-energy neutron protection device?"
Qin Long was shocked.
Perhaps many people don’t know what high-energy neutrons are.
If you want to understand what high-energy neutrons are, you need to first know what neutrons are.
Neutron, the full name is an electrically neutral particle, with a small but non-zero magnetic moment.
What is a tiny but non-zero magnetic moment?
To put it simply, it has a certain degree of magnetism. Although this magnetism may be very weak, it is not zero.
At the macro level, we may not be able to observe it, but at the micro level, we can "predict" its characteristics.
High-energy neutrons not only have magnetism, they also have ionization capabilities and can penetrate deeply into matter.
After in-depth research, nuclear fusion will continuously produce neutrons and other ions, which will penetrate the nuclear fusion protective device and cause continuous damage.
This is a bit like picking up wet clothes and shaking them hard. A large number of water droplets will be lased in the direction of the swish. Nuclear fusion is a 360-degree lasing of a large number of particles without dead ends. In a short period of time, they may not be able to It will cause damage to the device, but in the long run, it may destroy the nuclear fusion device. Therefore, how to protect these particles is an unavoidable topic in controllable nuclear fusion.
Looking at Qin Long's surprised look, Zhuge Fengzhi nodded again and responded: "Yes, I have developed a protective device that uses a layered structure and can defend against 99% of high-energy neutrons. "
"Can you tell me in detail? "
Qin Long held his breath, like a student studying.
Before entering a management position, he had actually been studying particles, looking for those ethereal ghost particles.
What are ghost particles?
The mainstream in academic circles believes that ghost particles are dark matter.
I want to indirectly prove the existence of dark matter by proving ghost particles.
But decades later, the ghost particle project still had no clue. He also switched to neutron protection, joined the controllable nuclear fusion project, and served as the team leader of the "High Energy Neutron Protection Project", but there was still no clue. Obvious progress.
Many people have no concept of things at the microscopic level such as particles and neutrons, because it is difficult for even a doctor to explain these things.
But now, when Qin Long heard that someone had achieved results in high-energy neutron defense, he was really surprised and eager to ask for proof.
“Of course.”
Zhuge Fengzhi smiled lightly and explained his theoretical results:
“The protective device is composed of hydrogen materials, lithium-containing materials and heavy metal composite materials. , such as polyethylene, lead, and tungsten.”
"First of all, for the outermost layer, we use wear-resistant, strong, and anti-oxidation materials to act as a physical protection. High-energy neutrons can pass through this layer very easily."
"The focus is on the second layer. In this layer, we can use hydrogen-containing materials to slow down the speed of neutrons, which is equivalent to braking them, and polyethylene boron carbide composite materials can capture a large number of high-energy neutrons while braking. ”
"What to do with the remaining high-energy neutrons?"
Zhuge Fengzhi asked and answered himself, and continued: "The high-energy electrons that penetrated the second layer have slowed down and can be called medium energy. Electrons, or medium-speed electrons, at this time, the third layer of heavy metal protective layer can reflect part of it to the second layer."
"If it can still penetrate, it doesn't matter, we have a fourth layer. .”
Zhuge Fengzhi paused for half a second, then said the fourth layer of materials: "That is to use graphite and beryllium oxide to completely cut off the path of high-energy neutrons."
"In summary, high-energy neutrons The neutron protection device achieves effective protection against high-energy neutrons through multi-layer material shielding, neutron deceleration and absorption, reflection and scattering mechanisms, and customization and optimization.”
Qin Long listened to Zhuge Fengzhi’s advice. After telling the story, I had a general understanding of his abilities, and excitedly walked up to the latter and said: "If you join the controllable nuclear fusion project, we will be even more powerful, like a fish in water, Comrade Zhuge Fengzhi."
The Yi of War. If you get it, it will be hard to find.
The materials mentioned by Zhuge Fengzhi can be synthesized by Longke Academy.
In other words, as long as he goes to the northwest controllable nuclear fusion engineering base, he can show off his skills immediately.
"The president has already talked with us, and we are willing to go for the great rejuvenation of the Dragon Kingdom." Zhuge Fengzhi stated directly.
Not only him, but others also expressed their attitudes at this moment.
"For the great rejuvenation of the Dragon Kingdom, we are duty-bound!"
"Yes, since we have kept the appointment, we have already made up our minds to go to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Base!" "Said That’s right!”
"For the great rejuvenation, for the Dragon Kingdom to reach the top of the world again!"
"Sun Yat-sen once said that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Perhaps our generation has to shoulder this mission. Therefore, We are willing to go!”
Listening to everyone’s firm and loud answers, Wang Shan and Qin Long felt deafening, like thunder in their ears.
Going to the northwest controllable nuclear fusion engineering base means that they cannot reveal any information to the outside world before decrypting it, and they may even stay there for decades.
If it is not patriotism, who is willing to dedicate decades of youth?
Just as what was said at the end, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. The current generation's shoulders are not other things, but to lift the Dragon Kingdom back to the top of the world, the position it has maintained for thousands of years.
“Okay, okay!”
Wang Shan said three good words in a row, and his eyes were already moist.
Once a bullet penetrated his thigh, he did not shed tears, but tonight, he was indeed moved by everyone's determination.
This is just like Huang Biao, the "puppet hero" during the Anti-Japanese War. Although he was misunderstood by his fellow villagers and was spat on and thrown by children when he went out, he was not angry, but smiled with relief: "Our children are still alive. If there is backbone, the country will have hope.”
In Wang Shan's view, as long as you have courage and faith, all difficulties are temporary.
If everyone loses their courage and faith, they will completely lose hope, which is ten thousand times more terrifying than war.
“With your help, I believe that the Dragon Kingdom will not only be able to conquer controllable nuclear fusion, but will also be able to return to the top of the world soon.”
Qin Long said excitedly.
“Of course, as long as we work together as one, difficulties will be a thing of the past.”
"Well said!"
"I suggest you take a seat first, I want to toast you all a glass of wine."
Zhang Zhongchun, Yin Songyang, and Hao Zidong also expressed their opinions.
These academicians did not go to the United States, did not change their nationality, and were not corrupted by a hundred times higher salary. In fact, they all held a breath in their hearts, that is, they wanted to see whether their motherland could realize the great rejuvenation.
Because in the inherent thinking of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, when encountering a strong enemy, they will always fight against the outside world.
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, no matter how Wei, Shu and Wu fought, whenever there was a foreign invasion, the three families would send troops to quell it.
This is why foreign invasions were rarely heard during the Three Kingdoms period, and this is also why the capture of Wuhu Luanhua and Erlong are still regarded as a shame.
"Please take your seats. This meal is equivalent to your practice banquet. One day in the future, I hope to accompany you to the reception banquet."
Chen Xing glanced at everyone and said .
"Mr. Chen is right. Everyone, please take your seats. I'll call for the food." As soon as Zhang Zhongchun finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the box and said hello to his security guard standing at the door.
Because it involved a top-secret conversation, not only the box was carefully inspected, but the manager who was required to stand at the door of the box waiting for instructions according to hotel regulations was removed and replaced by guards from Wang Shan and Qin Long.
"I'll do it right away."
The guard trotted quickly to inform.
A moment later.
Dishes were served to the table one after another.
When the box door closed again, Wang Shan picked up the wine glass, stood up, glanced around and said, "I would like to toast you all to this glass of wine."
After that.
He raised his head and drank it all.
Seeing this, the others stood up and drank all the drinks in their hands.
Qin Long put down his cup, picked up the wine dispenser and poured himself a glass of wine. He raised his glass again and said, "I'd like to toast you all too."
Without hesitation, I drank it all in one gulp.
Although they are older and have given up drinking for health reasons, who couldn't drink a few ounces of wine when they were young?
Qin Long not only drank, he used to smoke and drink all the time.
Now after two drinks, not only was he no longer drunk, but it made his brain more awake, as if it had been activated.
“Then I would like to toast you all, wish you all a speedy return, and look forward to the day when controllable nuclear fusion will make its high-profile debut.”
Chen Xing raised his glass.
After drinking glass after glass of wine, time passed bit by bit.
……
Ten thirty in the evening.
It started to rain lightly in Shenzhen City.
Because it was the rainy season, and we were in eastern Guangdong, no one cared why it suddenly started to rain lightly, but the rain also added a lot of sadness to the parting.
"Gu...Chief Gu, I, Qin Long, have never admired many people in my life. You are one and Mr. Chen is another. Sometimes, I really have to believe in the existence of national destiny."
"Because at critical moments, our Dragon Kingdom is full of talented people!"
Qin Long didn't know how many glasses of wine he had drunk, and he was already drunk, and sometimes he had to pause when he spoke.
“Looking back on the past five thousand years, I also believe in the existence of national destiny.”
Wang Shan nodded and said.
When Gu Ren, whose cheeks were already red and looked like Guan Gong, heard this, he responded intermittently: "I...I don't know...I don't know what national destiny is, but what I know is...you have to walk the road yourself."
< br>The words just fell.
With a "pop" sound, Gu Ren's head hit the table. He was obviously too drunk and passed out.
Not just him, most of the people in the box were already drunk.
The only ones who can still stay awake now are Chen Xing, Wang Shan and Qin Long.
"It's getting late, let's just finish our meal here."
Chen Xing glanced at the people in the box who were drunk to death, then looked at Wang Shan and Qin Long and said: " By the way, what time do you plan to go to the northwest?”
“It was originally scheduled for early tonight, but with this situation, they may not wake up for a while, so let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
< br>Wang Shan responded.
He had asked Zhao Chenguang to contact the Western Military Region and dispatched a military special plane. It had landed at Shencheng International Airport two hours ago.
“Then again, Mr. Chen, if we take away so many people, you should have no problem achieving mass production of room-temperature superconducting materials, right?”
Qin Long seemed to have sobered up a bit and spoke. Everything has become neat.
Chen Xing glanced at the sleeping Gu Ren and responded to Qin Long: "Don't worry, with the material synthesis formula compiled by Chief Gu, mass production is already a certainty."
“That’s good.”
Qin Long breathed a sigh of relief.
He does not want the nuclear fusion project to delay Longxing Group's own mass production. A win-win situation between the two is the best outcome.
