Chapter 291

【……】

All the netizens were in a very excited state at this time and almost couldn't celebrate. However, among the comments of these netizens, there were also quite a few netizens who poured cold water on it.

[I Chao, I woke up one afternoon and saw everyone talking about nuclear fusion. I thought nuclear fusion had really been realized, but this is the result?

No, can't you have a good understanding of how difficult it is to achieve nuclear fusion? Although it can run continuously for 370 seconds this time, I can only say that this UO structure does have something, but this cannot change the most essential thing. problem.

Nuclear fusion has never been a problem of device structure, but a problem of materials. As materials keep up, whether it is a tokamak or a stellarator, it can generate electricity. It is just a problem of more and less power. This time, although it can last for 370 Seconds, but I guess all the internal materials are damaged. Otherwise, I searched for a long time and couldn't find any detailed information. I can only say that I understand everything.

So I would like to advise everyone, just go ahead and do what you are supposed to do. Stop fantasizing about the future here. Nuclear fusion is not an easy thing. To reach this level, I estimate that it will be impossible to achieve it in 50 years. Just a slightly possible 50 years. 】

[It’s true that a group of people are having an orgasm here. Wake up, nuclear fusion is really not that easy to achieve. Now we want to achieve nuclear fusion, there is still a long way to go. The guy upstairs said it very well. Yes, the material problem is the most critical issue. If the material problem is not solved, we will never be able to realize nuclear fusion. As for the kind of material that can realize nuclear fusion... it can probably only be seen in science fiction novels. . 】

Naturally, some netizens couldn't stand these cold-water replies and responded immediately.

[It sounds like you are from the Plasma Institute or the Science Island Laboratory. Do you know how far Xiao Shen and the others have gone in their research? 】

[If you can do it, go ahead, if you can’t do it, leave it alone]

[Who doesn’t know how to make sarcastic remarks? Are you the only one who understands? 】

Netizens who poured cold water on it started to respond.

[Laughing, do you need someone from the Plasma Institute or Science Island Laboratory to know this kind of thing? Do you want to be so humorous? What is your education level? 】

[No, buddy, you have to be able to do this kind of thing? Is there anything else you can say? 】

[Can this also be called sarcastic remarks? These days, rational analysis has become a cliché. Netizens are still a bit humorous. Now I believe it. The undergraduate rate on online platforms is less than 10%. 】

【……】

Ever since, another online scolding war has started.

However, the situation on the Internet is only the situation on the Internet. For the scientific community, they are the ones who really know the significance of this matter.

In the Institute of Physics, the researchers here almost stopped their research work and started chatting with their colleagues about this matter. Although they may not study nuclear fusion or nuclear physics, this This incident can still be regarded as a major event worthy of attention in the world of physics.

"150 million degrees? They can still last for 370 seconds. Is it true? How did they do this?"

This question is probably the most frequently asked question in the Institute of Physics today.

There are basically only two answers to this question.

The first answer is: I guess it is possible to scrap the device. After all, this is the only way to prove that the UO device is indeed very powerful. But judging from this result, this UO device is indeed very powerful.

The second answer is: Maybe Chief Master Xiao has really developed some black technology material that can really block the neutrons produced by deuterium and tritium fusion? Hahaha!

Of course, of these two answers, the first answer is slightly serious, while the second answer is basically a joke.

No one believes that such black technology can really be developed, at least not now.

After all, the development of things is in an upward spiral, and so is technology.

…

On the other side, inside a military materials research institute.

"Mingya, have you heard? Your alumnus has achieved a very significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion! He was able to survive at 150 million degrees for more than six minutes. It's really hard to believe. What kind of material can it be? To this extent.”

A female researcher looked at the information on her phone and said to another female researcher next to her.

The latter is none other than Luo Mingya.

Although the confidentiality level of this institute is relatively high, you can still do it online, and you always need to obtain some research information.

Hearing what her colleague said, Luo Mingya was stunned, turned around and said, "What? Nuclear fusion?"

"yes."

The female researcher nodded and pointed to the news on her phone.

Luo Mingya looked over immediately, and then she was stunned.

They all study materials, so they naturally know more about how high the requirements for nuclear fusion materials are.

150 million degrees, can it still be maintained for 370 seconds?

First of all, it is impossible to falsify this data. After all, it can bring such a great influence. The consequences of falsification are too serious, and Xiao Yi cannot be the kind of person who can falsify data.

So it must have persisted for so long at 150 million degrees.

This is really incredible.

In addition, it can generate electricity at 30MW for 50 seconds, which is even more amazing.

However, these cannot directly reflect whether Xiao Yi has made a breakthrough in the first-wall material technology.

It can only be said that there is doubt.

Moreover, even if there is a breakthrough, it is likely to be just a small breakthrough, which can slightly extend the time to resist the invasion of high-energy neutrons.

The time of 370 seconds can be said to be just right, and any situation is possible.

But at this time, Luo Mingya recalled the bet she made with Xiao Yi more than 6 months ago.

At that time, she was a little surprised why Xiao Yi seemed to be quite confident about winning the bet, but now, she suddenly understood some of the reasons.

Finally, she smiled. Of course, she hoped that Xiao Yi would win this bet.

There is no reason, just because once nuclear fusion is realized, it will be more important to China than her current research.

"Okay, let's not worry about this. Have you done the experiment today? Have you written the experimental report? Have you finished the data analysis?"

"Don't say it! I'll do it now!"

The female researcher immediately hugged her head and ran away.

...

As time passed, the discussion about this matter has always been hot.

Similarly, the relevant news naturally spread abroad, and immediately caused a discussion in the relevant academic circles abroad.

Naturally, it did not escape the attention of the White House.

...

The Secretary of State - of course, a newly appointed Secretary of State, came to the door of the President's Office and knocked on the door.

Soon, the secretary inside opened the door of the office and welcomed the Secretary of State in.

"Mr. President."

The Secretary of State looked at the President who was sitting at his desk and drinking Coke - of course, this was also the second time the old President took office, with a golden hair, very chic and uninhibited.

"Oh! My Mr. Secretary of State, would you like a can of Coke?"

The President looked at the Secretary of State, then pointed to a special button in front of him and asked.

"Thank you, Mr. President, but that's not necessary." The Secretary of State sat in front of the President and said, "This time I have an important matter to report to you."

"Important matter? Don't tell me it's related to Israel." The President frowned immediately.

"Oh, that's not the case, it's related to China."

"China... well, it's also a troublesome place, but at least it's better than Israel." The President sighed, "The enemy is on Capitol Hill."

Then he said, "Okay, let's talk business."

The Secretary of State nodded, took out the report in his hand, and said, "This matter mainly involves a technology called nuclear fusion, and there is a famous scientist in China named Xiao Yi. I don't know if you know that a nuclear fusion project in China led by him has made a significant breakthrough."

"According to the evaluation of scientific advisers, his breakthrough has a certain The probability represents that China does have the possibility of achieving controlled nuclear fusion. "

"However, the consultants are more inclined to believe that... the possibility of not being able to achieve it is greater."

"Xiao Yi? I know this person. He has a good relationship with that annoying guy, Terence Tao."

"And controlled nuclear fusion? Let me think about it! I heard about this thing when I was in office before..." After thinking for a moment, the president's eyes lit up and said, "Oh! I remember that if this thing can be achieved, it will be able to replace various energy sources such as oil and natural gas, allowing humans to have unlimited energy?"

"Yes." The Secretary of State nodded.

The President took the report from the Secretary of State and looked at it, then frowned and said, "So, my scientific consultants gave such an ambiguous answer? It may be achieved, or it may not be achieved? What kind of answer is this!"

The Secretary of State spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.

"Okay, we've experienced this for four years, so we should get used to it sooner this time." The president shook his head and asked, "What about the intelligence? Has the CIA found out anything?"

The Secretary of State shook his head and said, "No details have been found. China is getting better and better at keeping secrets. Their confidentiality agencies don't use Apple or Microsoft, so it's hard to find secrets."

"Damn it."

The president frowned and said, "Then think of a way to force them to reveal some information. I remember there's an organization called ITER, right? Try to ask ITER to release data."

"Okay, I'll organize this matter later." The Secretary of State nodded immediately.

"OK, then let's do this." The president sighed, "Unlimited energy... That's a good thing."

"We can't let it happen."

Chapter 246 What do you want to build?

Fei City, Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute.

Because the researchers are on vacation, the institute is still relatively quiet now.

However, although the researchers were on holiday, the chief engineer Xiao Yi was not on holiday as he still had a lot of things to deal with.
