Chapter 911
Soon, Xu Hao and the experts of the controlled nuclear fusion research project team behind him came to the laboratory of the giant energy cannon.
Seeing Xu Hao's arrival.
Even through the thick protective clothing, Xu Hao could easily see the surprised smiles hidden under the protective clothing.
But no one said too much, just nodded to each other and continued to work.
And Xu Hao didn't say too much nonsense, after all, he had learned from the expert of the controlled nuclear fusion research project team what the current giant energy cannon was like.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately picked up the experimental steps, research process and plan of the giant energy cannon recorded by the experts of the controlled nuclear fusion project research team.
Then he went to check and examine the existing giant energy cannon in person.
Soon, Xu Hao realized the problem.
It seems that the instability of the plasma has caused the huge error in the data of the giant energy cannon and the failure of some parts.
But all this is just an illusion.
Because in Xu Hao's opinion, the real reason for all the difficulties of the fusion energy cannon is that the steady-state self-sustaining combustion of plasma has not been achieved.
This is a state very similar to plasma instability.
But the difficulty of solving it can be said to be hundreds of times more difficult than solving plasma stability!
Seeing Xu Hao's solemn expression, the expert in the controllable nuclear fusion research project team responsible for the giant energy cannon immediately signaled the experts present to stop their work.
"Professor Xu, have you found the problem?"
"I guess the culprit of all this is not the failure to achieve plasma stability!"
Xu Hao did not speak, but nodded affirmatively.
Xu Hao was not surprised that the expert could make such a sure guess.
After all, the experts who were able to pass the assessment of those old-fashioned controlled nuclear fusion project research team experts and were selected to participate in the fusion energy cannon project must not be mediocre.
But Xu Hao's mood at the moment was not very good.
Because the problem of the giant energy cannon can be said to be more difficult than he imagined.
In the puzzled eyes of the experts of the giant energy cannon project, Xu Hao took a deep breath and then slowly said.
"The problem that caused all the giant energy cannon is indeed not caused by the instability of plasma, but the root cause of all this is that the steady-state self-sustaining combustion of plasma has not been achieved."
As soon as these words came out, the giant energy cannon laboratory, which had originally had some noise, immediately became silent.
As experts of the controlled nuclear fusion research project team, they naturally knew what it meant.
This is an extremely mysterious process.
To ensure that the plasma is in a stable state, they must also react with each other to generate energy.
Only in this way can the steady-state self-sustaining combustion of plasma be achieved.
However, this process is extremely difficult to ensure that the plasma is in a stable state. It can be said that this is an extremely contradictory process.
In the eyes of these experts of the controlled nuclear fusion project research team, this is a basically difficult process to achieve.
This problem is basically impossible to achieve in the field of controlled nuclear fusion in any country today.
And the experts of these controlled nuclear fusion project research teams naturally know the difficulty of this problem.
With their abilities, it can be said that it is basically unsolvable.
Because the theoretical system of controlled nuclear fusion involved is too huge.
Even now Xu Hao has compiled the theoretical system of controlled nuclear fusion he has mastered into a book for all experts in the controlled nuclear fusion industry of Longguo to read.
But no one can be as familiar with the theoretical system of controlled nuclear fusion as Xu Hao.
Perhaps, at present, only Xu Hao may be able to solve the problem of steady-state self-sustaining combustion of plasma.
But they are not sure whether Xu Hao is really capable of solving this difficult problem.
The air is terribly quiet.
Time is also slipping away every second.
No one in the Giant Change Energy Cannon Research Laboratory spoke, but just watched Xu Hao thinking, calculating and experimenting quietly.
Finally, as Xu Hao took a long breath, the experts of the controlled nuclear fusion project research team also put down their originally hanging hearts.
Because they knew that Xu Hao must have a solution to the problem of the giant energy cannon.
Then, in the curious and excited eyes of the giant energy cannon experts, Xu Hao slowly spoke.
As we all know, steady-state self-sustaining combustion of plasma is the key to achieving nuclear fusion reaction.The key step of nuclear fusion is to create a high temperature and high pressure environment, confine plasma for a long time, and control the instability during the reaction. Achieving this goal is of great significance for the development of clean and sustainable nuclear fusion energy. Xu Hao's voice was a little tired. He glanced at the project expert of the giant energy cannon who was also tired, and then continued. To achieve nuclear fusion reaction, the fuel needs to be heated to an extremely high temperature to turn it into a plasma state. Usually, this temperature needs to exceed 100 million degrees Celsius, and it also needs to be carried out under high pressure. Such conditions can make the atomic nuclei overcome Coulomb repulsion, approach each other and undergo fusion reaction. Of course, we also need to use appropriate heating methods to create a high temperature and high pressure environment. The heating methods here include strong lasers, particle beams, and magnetic field confinement. These methods can transfer energy to plasma through different mechanisms to make it reach the required temperature and pressure. The first way is to use strong lasers for heating. Strong laser heating uses high-power laser beams to irradiate plasma and transfer energy to plasma through the interaction between laser and plasma. This method can achieve rapid heating, but requires a high-power laser and a precise aiming system.
The second method is particle beam heating.
Particle beam heating uses high-energy particle beams (such as neutrons, protons, etc.) to bombard plasma.
Energy is transferred to plasma through the collision of particles and plasma. This method can achieve deep heating, but requires equipment such as accelerators that produce high-energy particle beams.
Here, it is most recommended that you use magnetic field confinement heating.
Magnetic field confinement heating uses a magnetic field to confine plasma in a limited area.
And transfer energy to plasma through external heating equipment (such as radio frequency waves, microwaves, etc.).
This method can achieve long-term stable heating, but requires complex magnetic field design and control system.
…
Xu Hao waved his hand.
"This is a way to heat plasma, let's continue!"
