Chapter 385: Start of Controlled Nuclear Fusion
But Li Yang's heart was not at peace. He knew clearly that the value of this information was far beyond this.
It is not only the energy technology of the future, but also the key to the rise of a country.
Especially in the 60s, when the global situation was changing rapidly, mastering this technology meant mastering the future.
Li Yang turned his gaze back to the information in his hand and continued flipping through it.
The information the system gave him was a basic version of nuclear fusion technology.
Although it was only elementary, it was enough to shock Li Yang. The information detailed the principles of nuclear fusion, technical routes, and necessary device design plans.
According to the description in the information, to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, it is first necessary to create a device that can produce extremely high temperatures and extremely high pressures.
This device requires taking into account multiple technical challenges at the same time.
The first step is the design and construction of the tokamak device.
Tokamak requires an annular container filled with dilute hydrogen or deuterium gas, and then uses a strong magnetic field confinement and heating system to heat the gas to hundreds of millions of degrees, turning it into plasma.
In this process, hydrogen nuclei will fuse under high temperature and high pressure, releasing huge energy.
Li Yang closed the document, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
This is just the beginning. To put this huge plan into practice, a lot of engineering design and experimental verification are still needed.
However, as an engineer who traveled from the future, these challenges were not insurmountable obstacles for him.
He immediately called together the core members of the laboratory to hold an emergency meeting. In the conference room, everyone quickly gathered together. Li Yang stood in front of the conference table, holding the nuclear fusion information in his hand, with a solemn but firm expression.
"Comrades," Li Yang said in a deep and powerful voice, "Today, I want to introduce to you a brand new research project - nuclear fusion technology."
Hearing this, the engineers in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. Nuclear fusion - this word is both familiar and unfamiliar to them. Familiar in that they all know that nuclear fusion is the hope for future energy; unfamiliar in that they have never really been exposed to work in this field.
"The document we have is the most advanced nuclear fusion technology in the world," Li Yang continued. "It details how to design and build a tokamak device, how to use magnetic fields to confine high-temperature plasma, and how to achieve a controllable nuclear fusion reaction."
He paused and glanced over everyone present to make sure they were listening carefully.
"But what I want to tell you is," Li Yang's voice suddenly became more determined, "this information is only preliminary. It is just a starting point. We need to conduct a lot of experiments and improvements on this basis before we can truly achieve stable and controllable nuclear fusion."
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze for a moment. Everyone's heart was stirred. Nuclear fusion, a technology that once existed only in theory and dream, was now going to become a reality in their hands. What an exciting and challenging task!
Li Yang looked at their reactions and was filled with confidence. He knew that these people were the country's top scientific researchers and that they had the ability and wisdom to complete this difficult task.
"First, we need to build a tokamak device," Li Yang continued. "The core of this device is a toroidal container, and a strong magnetic field needs to be established inside to confine the high-temperature plasma. We also need a powerful heating system to heat hydrogen or deuterium to hundreds of millions of degrees."
He walked to the conference table and drew a preliminary design of the tokamak device on a piece of white paper, marking the locations of the annular container, magnetic coils, heating system and other key components.
"We need a lot of superconducting materials to make magnetic coils to generate a strong enough magnetic field." Li Yang pointed to the magnetic coils on the drawing and said, "In addition, the heating system also needs to be specially designed. We can consider using neutron injection or radio frequency heating."
The engineers in the conference room nodded and began to record Li Yang's explanation in their notebooks. Everyone's expression became extremely focused, as if at this moment, they had begun to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this great project.
"I know this task is very difficult," Li Yang paused, his eyes showing a hint of determination, "but I believe that as long as we work together, we will succeed! This is not only for the future of the country, but also for the future of all mankind!"
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, the entire conference room burst into warm applause. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and pride. They knew that they were participating in a great cause that had never been seen before, a cause that would completely change the world's energy landscape.
Li Yang also felt a sense of heroism. He knew that the road ahead was bound to be full of challenges, but he was ready to face all difficulties. He believed that under his leadership, this team would be able to complete this great task, turn nuclear fusion technology into reality, and provide endless power for the country's rise.
After the meeting, Li Yang did not leave immediately. He stood in front of the window of the meeting room, looking at the city scene that was about to sink into the night, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart.
He clearly knows how heavy a responsibility he shoulders. Nuclear fusion technology is not only a scientific research, but also a technological competition between countries. It concerns the fate of the country and the future world pattern.
Li Yang took a deep breath and vowed to himself that he would make this technology a success. No matter how many difficulties and challenges he faced, he would not back down.
As night fell and the lights in the city gradually lit up, Li Yang's eyes remained firm, as if he had seen the bright future.
"The future will definitely be even brighter." Li Yang whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with endless hope and determination.
……
At the same time, at the other end of the laboratory, engineers also began to prepare intensively. They spread Li Yang's design drawings on the workbench, carefully studied every detail, and discussed how to turn these theories into reality.
"Engineer Li is right," said Master Zhang, an older engineer, in a deep voice, "This mission is of great importance. We must go all out."
"Xiao Li, go check the supply of superconducting materials," Master Zhang instructed the young engineer beside him, "We need to ensure that the quality and quantity of these materials meet the requirements."
"Okay, Master Zhang, I'll do it right away." Xiao Li immediately stood up and walked quickly to the data room outside the laboratory.
"Lao Wang, you are responsible for the design of the heating system," Master Zhang continued to assign tasks, "We need to consider all possible heating methods to ensure the efficiency and stability of the system."
"I understand," Lao Wang nodded and began to record the parameters of various heating systems in his notebook.
In the entire laboratory, everyone was working intensively and orderly. Everyone's face was full of concentration and determination. They knew that they were participating in an unprecedented great project. This was not only a technical challenge, but also a test of their will and wisdom.
At this time, Li Yang had sorted out the information on nuclear fusion and placed it on his desk. He knew that the next work would be extremely difficult, but he believed that with the knowledge he gained from the Golden Finger system and these outstanding scientific researchers, he would be able to truly realize nuclear fusion technology.
Li Yang sat at his desk, picked up his notebook, and began to plan the next steps in detail. He knew that the realization of nuclear fusion technology required not only theoretical breakthroughs, but also a lot of experimental and data support. He decided to start with the design of the tokamak device and gradually advance the project.
“First, we need a small tokamak experimental device,” Li Yang wrote in his notebook. “With this device, we can verify some key technologies and collect experimental data.”
He paused, thinking about the next steps. Although the principle of nuclear fusion is very clear, there are still many technical problems to be solved in order to achieve a stable fusion reaction in the laboratory.
“The confinement and heating of the plasma are key issues,” Li Yang continued. “We need to ensure that the magnetic field is strong enough to effectively confine the high-temperature plasma, and the heating system must also be able to provide sufficient energy.”
At this point, Li Yang already had a preliminary plan in mind. He decided to start with the design and construction of the experimental device, and then gradually solve various technical problems to finally achieve a stable nuclear fusion reaction.
He put his notes aside, stood up, and walked to the window. Night had completely enveloped the city, and the lights in the distance flickered in the darkness, as if telling the changes of this era.
Li Yang's eyes flashed with determination. He knew that the road ahead was destined to be full of challenges, but he was ready to face all difficulties.
"No matter what, I will succeed." Li Yang vowed secretly in his heart.
He turned back to his desk, picked up the nuclear fusion information again, and carefully studied every detail in it. He knew that every detail could determine success or failure, and he had to make sure that every step was taken steadily and accurately.
The night passed by unnoticed, and the lights in the laboratory were still bright. Under these lights, Li Yang and his team worked silently for the future of the country.
The next morning, Li Yang walked into the laboratory as usual, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand. There was still a little tiredness in his eyes, but more determination and confidence.
"Comrades, today we will start the design work of the tokamak device." Li Yang said as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Li, we are ready." Master Zhang said with a smile.
Li Yang nodded and walked to the design table. "Okay, first we need to consider the material selection and design of the annular container."
"The annular container needs to be very resistant to high temperatures and corrosion," Li Yang said as he marked the key parts on the design. "We can consider using high-strength alloy steel or ceramic materials to make it."
"At the same time, the design of the magnetic coil is also very important. The strength and stability of the magnetic field directly affect the confinement effect of the plasma." Li Yang continued, quickly outlining the position and shape of the magnetic coil on the drawing with a pencil in his hand.
