Chapter 953

After a little hesitation, Chen Qiangsheng quickly followed.

The degeneration of "nuclear" 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 polymerization of nuclei under high temperature and high pressure to generate neutrons and helium-4, accompanied by a huge release of energy. form.

Its mass-energy equation E=mc^2 is the release of energy caused by the change of the static mass of the nucleus.

Nuclear fission is the continuous glow and heat phenomenon that occurs when a heavy atomic nucleus changes into a light atomic nucleus.

Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion has much less environmental problems such as radioactive contamination. 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 achieve the controllable nuclear fusion.

But even so, the research on nuclear fusion is still very slow, and until now, no one has proposed 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's a whole bunch of researchers working hard in hazmat suits right here.

They held various beakers and test tubes in their hands and shuttled back and forth in the experiment.

On the laboratory bench, an electrolyzer is running.

Electrolyzer? Qin Luo is no stranger.

"What is this doing?" Qin Luo asked curiously.

To be honest, although he had heard the word "nuclear" many times, it was Qin Luo's first time to really come into contact with "nuclear".

"The raw materials for nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium." Wei Suifeng introduced: "The seawater is rich in deuterium and tritium."

Deuterium and tritium oxides are 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 a large amount of water, until the seawater that cannot be electrolyzed in the end is heavy water! That is deuterium and tritium!

Hearing Wei Suifeng's words, Qin Luo nodded thoughtfully.

"How far have we progressed in nuclear fusion research?"

Speaking of the progress, Wei Suifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said proudly: "Just three months ago, we have made new breakthroughs. In the experimental equipment, the heating power can reach the level of 6 megawatts. The plasma center The temperature of the electrons has also reached 50 million degrees.”

"This is considered the top achievement in the world."

Yes, although there are countless countries and research institutes in the world studying nuclear fusion, the achievements made by the Yanjing "Nuclear" Research Institute are still remarkable.

6 MW, high temperature of 5000 degrees.

Under these circumstances, the completion of the experiment is a first-of-its-kind 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.

do not know? What is this?

"Why? Did you encounter any problems?" Qin Luo hurriedly asked.

Wei Suifeng shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Originally, our plan was to attack 10 megawatts and 100 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 experiments!
