Chapter 366 The first generation fusion furnace
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Miracle! This is a miracle! Haha! The magic really turns the world upside down! Boss, you are the new century, no, you are the greatest human being in history, bar none!"
A man in research clothes stood in front of a strange large instrument and spoke a little incoherently.
What did you witness?
Controllable cold fusion technology! It almost represents the beginning of eternity of energy!
Bob is an expert in nuclear physics. He is very fruitful in his concentrated research and may even have a chance to compete for the Nobel Prize in the future.
He and his team were also one of the earlier teams recruited by Umbrella.
It was he who offended the financial backer, who resorted to various means to kidnap his daughter, but Umbrella rescued her.
In order to protect his family and out of gratitude to Umbrella, he jumped ship with his team.
Now we have signed the highest confidentiality agreement and joined in more in-depth research!
The one in front of me looks a bit like an inverted cone, with blue light blooming in the gap and rotating at high speed. It looks like a dreamy and beautiful instrument. It is the first-generation cold fusion reactor prototype under the personal control of Wang Yi.
When the big beauty is still preparing for the first ignition, the so-called net energy gain is achieved by stealing the concept.
Wang Yi also cooperated with other teams, supplemented by his own knowledge system and Lin Shiqin's computing power, and successfully built the first-generation cold fusion reactor in front of him with an actual energy output ratio of about 1:10. .
Moreover, the production capacity ratio here is the comparison of all input energy and all output energy, and it is not a sneaky concept of a beautiful ignition device.
Except for the consumption during ignition, it can be completely self-sufficient and transmit energy to the outside world at the same time!
Compared with the previous "micro-innovation" and "micro-enhancement", this is truly epoch-making black technology, something that no one else can understand!
Even though it is still a first-generation reactor prototype, it can only be considered a success. The total output power is limited. The output power of the thing in front of you is about the same as a steam gas turbine.
However, this can also be regarded as a breakthrough from scratch, from 0 to 1.
The first prototype with real practical results!
"Professor Bob is serious. You and your team are all responsible for the success of this prototype."
Wang Yi looked at the inverted cone-shaped reactor that was rotating at high speed and glowing with blue light in front of him, and he did feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
If the enhancement of batteries directly changes the industrial structure of many energy sources, then this thing in front of us can be said to directly solve the energy problem!
Although this requires Wang Yi to do it himself, and mass production is not yet possible, it is still a qualitative breakthrough.
In fact, when Wang Yi was studying lenses, he found the idea of magic power on controllable nuclear fusion.
At first, Wang Yi wanted to research lenses that could allow extreme ultraviolet rays to pass freely. Relying on the inspiration of the formula he had discussed with mathematicians, he found a way to lock and influence electrons outside the nucleus.
Including the quantum computer that I built with my bare hands, it was also born out of that mathematical idea.
And now that it has begun to interfere with extranuclear electrons, the direct impact on the nucleus is actually much simpler.
It can make the fusion reaction far lower than the originally required conditions and truly achieve a ‘cold start’!
However, even if Wang Yi relied on magic to cheat, he also solved the principle problem, but from principle to practice, it has been all the way to the present. In the end, it was with the cooperation of Bob's team and Lin Shiqin's computing power that it was possible I knocked out the prototype machine in front of me with an output similar to that of a steam turbine.
Although the output power of this thing is only about the same as a steam turbine, but...
The little fuel currently injected into it is enough to keep it running for ten years!
Because the material also has Wang Yi’s magic reinforcement and magic lines, there is generally no need for maintenance problems!
The most important thing is that with this prototype, it will be easier to build a maritime urban energy system in the future.
After success, we can start trying to produce larger component materials. After all, it is impossible to make a ready-made package in the sea city. We can only make materials and accessories first, and then assemble them.
Moreover, there cannot be only one fusion reactor in the city.
The purpose of this first-generation fusion reactor is only to use the energy needed to complete the initial engineering transformation of the machinery. As the energy demand increases after the transformation is completed, it will inevitably be necessary to install a reactor with a higher power output.
"Okay, there are only two problems we have to overcome in the future. The first is the adjustment of the output power, and the second is to directly replace the reactants deuterium and tritium with protium."
Protium is the most common hydrogen element, the one with only one proton, and the reaction of the sun is mainly the fusion reaction of protium.
The required difficulty is far more difficult than the reaction of deuterium and tritium, and the process is also much more complicated.
However, the difficulty of reaction was solved to the greatest extent with Wang Yi's direct magic intervention.
So it's not like asking an impossible question.
"Your will is my goal. In terms of structural design and conversion methods, I will give different plans to Queen Hong for verification. In terms of material strength and reaction, I will make bold assumptions!"
Bob saluted enthusiastically to Wang Yi.
He can study nuclear physics and has set up his own laboratory. He has the character of a scientific madman. He really doesn't have much interest in money. He just wants to explore the truth and keep moving forward.
The reason why his former sponsor was furious was because he painted a beautiful picture of money in order to defraud funds and deceive the sponsor into investing in his project.
As a result, he was used to develop things that would have the slightest chance of being commercialized in at least a few decades.
But coincidentally, this kind of personality perfectly met Wang Yi's recruitment requirements.
In fact, even if he didn't need the subtle influence of the Dihua Technique before, he would probably be shocked by Wang Yi. After having it, all that's left now is fanaticism.
Like the converted fanatic.
For this reason, such important scientific research teams are protected by one to three grass-headed gods, which not only ensures safety, but also monitors them to a certain extent.
"I still trust your abilities. Remember to take the time to do the surgery. I don't want your body to affect your thinking speed."
Hearing Wang Yi’s caring words, Professor Bob’s eyes were filled with emotion
"Thank you boss for your concern. I think I may actually have the potential to become a spirit, haha... By the way, boss, this reactor needs to be given a name. After all, it is the first prototype and a milestone product."< br>
"Name..."
Wang Yi looked at the cone that was spinning at high speed with blue light, thought of something, and then said casually
"Let's call it a solar furnace..."
"Solar Furnace! What a great name!"
With Bob's enthusiastic look, I guess Wang Yi said that shit smells good, and he will redefine the smell...
After starting a new design, Wang Yi also left Umbrella's most heavily guarded laboratory.
All progress is currently moving forward steadily.
The overall relationship between Mexico and China has been smoothed out.
Of course there are people who hate Umbrella, and there are definitely some interests that are affected.
However, overall, Umbrella has been highly embedded with Mexico, and what they want to prevent is the sudden introduction of some bills after the maritime city is affiliated.
What is needed now is to work overtime to complete the production of materials and parts required for the optimized first-generation practical reactor to ensure energy self-sufficiency as quickly as possible.
Silver mines are also working overtime to expand production capacity, raising silver prices while also reducing normal external sales.
By then, Sea City will have to build a third-generation mage tower that is more suitable for this planet. The amount of work will be huge.
Fortunately, Neon's constant supply of grass-headed gods has filled a lot of talent gaps to some extent.
The lowest mechanical work can be completed by ordinary skeletons, while some "engineer" control that requires more "spirituality" requires skeletons possessed by the grass-headed god.
Under Lin Shiqin's multi-threaded remote control of allocating computing power, it is ensured that there is no problem in the core operation of the sea city.
In the outer area, there are still sailors who have been recruiting, training and improving. It is barely enough to maintain the operation in the early stage.
"Continue to increase money and let them work another shift to improve efficiency."
Continuous working hours are too long, which can easily lead to loss of concentration. Now, let those guys in the shipyard continue to work overtime while having guaranteed rest!
In fact, they don’t have to worry about recruiting too many people.
Wang Yi's queue-jumping behavior has also accumulated many other orders, some of which they are busy with. In addition, even if Sea City has built many floating docks and can build its own ships after the later transformation, the initial filling work is still Still have to outsource.
The 20-million-ton platform is actually just a core area...
