Chapter 953
After a little hesitation, Chen Qiangsheng hurriedly followed.
The degeneration of "nucleus" is divided into two types, one is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion refers to a nuclear reaction in which atoms with small masses, such as deuterium and tritium, undergo mutual polymerization under high temperature and high pressure conditions to generate neutrons and helium-4, accompanied by the release of huge energy form.
Its mass-energy equation E=mc^2 is the release of energy caused by the static mass change of the atomic nucleus.
Nuclear fission is a phenomenon in which heavy atomic nuclei change into light atomic nuclei.
Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion has much fewer environmental problems such as radioactive pollution.Among them, the nuclear fusion reaction of deuterium and tritium can be directly obtained from seawater, and the source is almost inexhaustible, so it is an ideal way to obtain energy.
From the moment nuclear fusion was discovered, the research on nuclear fusion has never stopped. Until now, there are still countless scientists,
Scholars and researchers are working day and night to realize the controllable nuclear fusion.
But even so, the research on nuclear fusion is still very slow, until now no one has come up with a feasible plan to control nuclear fusion and make it a new energy source for the benefit of the world.
Under the leadership of Mr. Wei Suifeng, Qin Luo finally came to the depths of the research institute.
There is a large group of researchers working hard in protective clothing.
Holding various beakers and test tubes in their hands, they shuttled back and forth in the experiment.
On the test bench, an electrolysis instrument is running.
Electrolyzer?Qin Luo is no stranger.
"What are you doing?" Qin Luo asked curiously.
To be honest, although he had heard the word "nuclear" many times, it was the first time for Qin Luo to really come into contact with "nuclear".
"Deuterium and tritium are the raw materials for nuclear fusion." Wei Suifeng introduced: "Seawater is rich in deuterium and tritium."
The oxide of deuterium and tritium is heavy water. The content of this substance in seawater is very small, but it has a special property, that is, it cannot be electrolyzed!
People often take advantage of this property to electrolyze water in large quantities until the seawater that cannot be electrolyzed is heavy water!That is deuterium and tritium!
Hearing Wei Suifeng's words, Qin Luo nodded thoughtfully.
"To what extent have we progressed in nuclear fusion research?"
Speaking of progress, Wei Suifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some pride: "Just three months ago, we had made a new breakthrough. In the experimental equipment, the heating power has reached the level of 3 megawatts. The plasma center The temperature of electrons can reach 6 million degrees."
"This is considered the top achievement in the world."
Yes, although countless countries and research institutes in the world are researching nuclear fusion, the achievements of the Yanjing "Nuclear" Institute are still remarkable.
6 megawatts, high temperature of 5000 degrees.
Under such circumstances, the completion of the experiment is a second-to-none achievement in the whole of China, and even the whole world.
"What shall we do next?"
"Oh, I don't know..." Wei Suifeng shook his head helplessly.
have no idea?What is this?
"Why? Have you encountered any problems?" Qin Luo hurriedly asked.
Wei Suifeng shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Originally our plan was to launch an impact on 10 megawatts and 1 million degrees of high temperature, but today's equipment simply cannot support such a high temperature."
This is the biggest problem facing the institute!
Their equipment is simply not enough to support the next experiment!
