Chapter 669 How Did You Do It? !

Although there is no generator set yet, heat can only be introduced into the water through the heat exchange system, but the energy generated by the system far exceeds the input energy of the system, and the neutrons produced by the reaction can already achieve self-sustainability of tritium. The design of the entire fusion reactor is undoubtedly a success!

When the matching magnetic fluid generator set is installed, the ultrasonic generating device no longer needs external power supply. At that time, it only needs to be equipped with a large-capacity lithium-sulfur battery to complete the melting of the core lithium metal and the first few rounds of ultrasonic emission, and the reactor can completely rely on the electric energy generated by itself to maintain the operation of the entire device.

As soon as the experiment stopped, Academician Wang couldn't wait to grab Lu Zhou and asked.

"How did you do it?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhou's mouth, and he simply answered the question.

"Sonoluminescence."

Hearing these unexpected four words, Wang Zengguang was obviously taken aback, then frowned.

"That technical route...hasn't it been proven that it won't work long ago?"

Due to the bottleneck in the research of magnetic confinement and inertial confinement, research on acoustic fusion was once popular during the period between the 1980s and 1990s. However, until now, there has been no controversy about this research route. interrupted.

As for why there are so many controversies, apart from two completely different experimental reports, one of the most critical reasons is that the physics community has not yet had a clear conclusion on the seemingly ordinary natural phenomenon of sonoluminescence.

"There are two possibilities for a road to fail. One is that it is wrong, and the other is that the walking posture is wrong. There were problems in the research on acoustic fusion twenty years ago, and the theoretical work has not been completed. Just blindly conducting experiments and collecting empirical data in the hope of finding a way to achieve fusion reactions is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, picked up the marker pen from the table, wrote a few lines of calculations on the whiteboard next to him, and then continued.

"...Only by determining the quantitative relationship between the electromagnetic interaction and the strong interaction, can we establish a phenomenological model for balancing the relationship between the two through calculations, and use this phenomenological model to find the most possible method."

After staring at the formula on the whiteboard for a long time, Academician Wang frowned.

"Is this... a corollary of the Unified Theory of Strong Electricity?"

Although he does not study theoretical physics, he has a background in nuclear physics and nuclear engineering, and he still has some understanding of the latest developments in the physics world. Especially for this kind of research involving nuclear force, it is even more impossible for him to miss it.

Looking at Academician Wang who was lost in thought, Lu Zhou nodded slightly.

"Exactly."

On the surface, the reason why this acoustic fusion device can be completed is largely because Sheng Xianfu and others cleverly added a small ionization chamber between the air inlet and the core to heat the deuterium-tritium mixture to an ionized state. Then inject it into liquid lithium.

But in fact, whether it is using liquid lithium or establishing a mathematical model for the relationship between a series of parameters such as bubble density, surface area, and sound pressure on the surface of the bubble, and the conditions for the fusion reaction to occur, it is based on the "unified theory of strong electricity". Some of the inferences have been completed.

The relationship between the two is just like the plasma turbulence model to the magnetic confinement fusion device.

If there is no theoretical work done by Lu Zhou, perhaps this device can also be built, but it is not certain how many years it will take...

While Academician Wang was still in deep thought, Director Li of the Bureau of Science and Industry couldn't wait any longer, and asked impatiently, "Can this thing be installed on an aircraft carrier?"

Hearing this question, Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said.

"I don't know much about the situation of the aircraft carrier. I still have to ask the experts of the Naval Equipment Institute for details. However, although its power limit and energy utilization efficiency are much lower than those of the Pangudui magnetic confinement fusion, it is better than the traditional The fission reactor is still much stronger... As long as it is designed properly, it should not be a problem to use it on an aircraft carrier or a submarine."

Hearing this sentence, Director Li took a deep breath, looked at Lu Zhou and said solemnly.

"...On behalf of the people of the whole country, I would like to say thank you!"

Lu Zhou smiled indifferently.

"You're welcome."

Thank you for hearing these two words a lot, and it feels like that is the case.

However, when he heard Director Li say this in a solemn tone, he felt quite comfortable.

Although the technology in the military field is not within the scope of his research, and he is not very interested in researching weapons, but if his research can contribute to the cause of national defense, he is also very happy to see this.

As for how to apply it on aircraft carriers or submarines, that is the task of the Naval Equipment Research Institute. The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study will provide technical support, but the design work will naturally be done by a dedicated person.

Of course, this is not free.

Since the miniaturized controllable fusion device is funded by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, which is a private research institution, the relevant intellectual property rights will be protected in the form of national defense patents.

Although judging from the current size of the domestic navy, this profit is far less than the lucrative patents related to lithium-sulfur batteries, but Lu Zhou's original intention of researching this thing is not to make money, so it doesn't matter.

"Currently, this fusion device is mainly used on spacecraft. Whether it works well or not requires further experiments." Speaking of this, Lu Zhou looked at Academician Wang and said seriously, "So, the matter of the magnetic fluid generator set , please get it done as soon as possible."

Academician Wang nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry about this, I will give you an answer within two weeks!"

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

After seeing the experimental reactor model of the acoustic fusion device, Academician Wang did not stop at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. After leaving the two students here, he rushed back to Haizhou without stopping.

The most critical part of the core has been completed, and now only the matching magnetic fluid generators are left.

What he has to do now is to complete the design of the matching magnetic fluid generator set as quickly as possible, so that this equipment can convert the huge heat energy into electrical energy!

As for Chief Li, after having a meal with Lu Zhou, Sheng Xianfu and the others, which was regarded as a celebration banquet, he also left Jinling immediately and returned to Beijing with the news of the breakthrough in controllable fusion miniaturization technology.

This kind of important news related to the fate of the country must be kept strictly confidential, and the fewer people who know it, the better.

Therefore, this matter can only be reported by him to the elders' house in person...
