C953 Problems at First Discovery
0After a moment of hesitation, Chen Qiangsheng quickly followed.
"Nuclear" was divided into two types. One was nuclear fission, and the other was nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion referred to atomic matter with a small mass, such as deuterium and tritium. Under high temperature and high pressure, nuclear fusion occurred. They produced neutrons and helium-4, and they were accompanied by a type of nuclear reaction when a huge amount of energy was released.
The mass equation E = MC = 2 was the release of energy caused by the change in the mass of the atomic nucleus.
The nuclear fission was a phenomenon where the heavy atomic nucleus changed into a light atomic nucleus that kept emitting light and heat.
Compared to nuclear fission, nuclear fusion's radioactive pollution and other environmental problems were much less. The materials for the deuterium and tritium nuclear fusion reactions could be directly extracted from seawater. The source was almost inexhaustible, so it was the ideal way to obtain energy.
From the moment the nuclear fusion was discovered, research on nuclear fusion had never stopped. Until now, there were still countless scientists internationally.
Scholars and researchers worked day and night to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.
But even so, research on nuclear fusion was still very slow. Until now, no one had come up with a feasible plan to control nuclear fusion and turn it into a new energy source that would benefit the world.
Under the lead of Old Man Wei Suifeng, Qin Luo finally arrived at the depths of the research institute.
There was a large group of researchers working hard in protective suits here.
They held all kinds of beakers and test tubes in their hands, shuttling back and forth in the experiment.
On the experiment table, an electrolyte was operating.
An electrolyte? Qin Luo was not unfamiliar with it.
"What is he doing?" Qin Luo asked curiously.
To be honest, although he had heard the word "core" many times, this was the first time he had actually come into contact with a "core."
"The raw materials for refining nuclear fusion, deuterium and tritium." Wei Suifeng introduced, "In the seawater, there are rich amounts of deuterium and tritium."
Deuterium and tritium had heavy water. The content of this substance was very small in the seawater, but it had a special property, which was that it could not be electrocuted!
People often used this property. A large amount of electrolytic water, until the last moment when it could not be electrolyzed, was heavy water! It was also deuterium and tritium!
Hearing Wei Suifeng's words, Qin Luo nodded thoughtfully.
"How far has our nuclear fusion research progressed?"
Wei Suifeng raised his eyebrows slightly when he talked about the progress. He said proudly, "Three months ago, we made a new breakthrough. In the experimental equipment, the heating power could reach six megawatts. The electronic temperature in the plasma center has reached 50 million degrees. "
"This can be considered the highest achievement in the world."
That's right. Although there were countless countries and research institutes in the world researching nuclear fusion, the results of the "nuclear" research institute in Yanjing were still outstanding.
6 trillion watts, a temperature of 5000 degrees.
Under such circumstances, completing an experiment was also one of the greatest achievements in China and even the entire world.
"What should we do next?"
"Sigh, I don't know..." Wei Suifeng shook his head helplessly.
Don't know? What was this?
"Why? Did you encounter a difficult problem?" Qin Luo quickly asked.
Wei Suifeng shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Our original plan was to charge at ten megawatts and a high temperature of 100 million degrees, but the current equipment can't support such a high temperature."
This was the biggest problem in front of the research institute!
Their equipment was not enough to support the next step of the experiment!
