Chapter 65: A Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion


The steel torrent of the three great powers is crashing together in the Middle East, and they don't care about the situation of the native Arabs.!

*!

In the Middle East, oil has brought wealth to the Arabs, but it has also brought disaster.

Britain came under unprecedented pressure, as the Soviet Union and Germany had the potential to join forces to destroy the British position first.

However, neither country has a strong navy, and Britain is a giant at sea.

British warplanes and naval guns provided the most staunch support for the army.

Germany held the Mesopotamian plain and did not choose to continue the assault and chose to detour through Egypt to kill the French army in Libya.

In February 1941, Rommel bypassed Britain's powerful navy and appeared in front of the French.

De Gaulle, who had no heavy weapons, had no choice but to retreat and wait for the United States to be equipped with weapons and equipment in order to seek a counterattack.

Rommel got the oil refineries in Libya and finally filled his armored forces with oil.

Oil, the blood of the army.

The German U-boat pack appeared in the Mediterranean, and although it suffered heavy losses, it gnawed at the British fleet.

The Mediterranean Sea is not the same as the Atlantic Ocean.

The British fleet had nowhere to hide.

Germany's entire fleet reached the Mediterranean, which had abandoned the Atlantic and wanted to turn it into its own inland sea.

France, Germany could not give it a chance to fight back in any way.

Turkey is just a shot in the air.

At the same time, the Soviet fleet, hiding in the Caspian Sea, finally found a chance to come out.

Together with the German fleet, it had the posture of annihilating the British Mediterranean fleet.

The goal of the Soviet fleet was the Persian Gulf, and the Soviet Union wanted to seize the most important access to the sea, ending the history of no access to the sea.

The fierceness of the battle.

It was sent back to China via satellite footage.

Bai Chongxi was silent.

In the face of this method of warfare of large armies, the Wehrmacht believed that it should be avoided, which is also the reason why the squadron did not appear in the bare Aral Sea desert.

Even if there are helicopter swarms to fight tank corps.

Nor should it be.

Why do Westerners use such stupid tactics as steel for steel, shell for shell, machine gun for machine gun.

"Use the terrain to stretch the tank corps so that it does not support each other.

Cut off its rear path with helicopter swarms, and delay its attacks with trenches and anti-tank missiles until it runs out of fuel. ” "What if they stay in the plains and don't come out."

"The Air Force bombs, and the enemy is transparent to me."

"Informatization.

One-way transparency.

The informationized troops have unimaginable advantages over the steel troops.

Bai Chongxi nodded and smiled.

Satellites, after the replacement of satellites, both in terms of detection range and clarity have been improved by several levels.

Scanning speed thanks to the thermonuclear battery.

Don't worry about electricity at all.

The solar panels are gone, making the satellites more stealthy.

The attitude engine on top is also more sophisticated.

Satellites can do so much more.

Positioning, information transfer, in addition to light detection.

There are also microwave detections in special bands.

There was no return capsule in the factory module launched at the end of February.

And a couple of brand new satellites.

The crew of the space station increased to twenty people.

Yang Yu and Xie Jinli finally came back, but as soon as they came back, they entered the Xinmin Medical Research Institute.

Because of their long-term life in space, their bodies have developed various maladaptations after returning.

After nine launches, the station will form a huge cylinder around the command module, weighing 1,000 tons.

However, at this time, the space station can be rotated, and some of the gravity will be restored.

The situation will be much better.

Since the second factory module went up, the space station has been repaired and maintained.

The crew began to use two shuttles on the cargo compartment to carry out the release and towing of the satellite.

Because it is in space, the energy consumption and cost are very low.

The density required for the new satellites is much more sparse.

Twenty-four satellites if adjusted according to the plan.

It can basically take care of all places except the North and South Poles until now.

It's just that there are no mobile satellites.

After the old satellite is recovered, it will be disassembled into parts.

Useful continue to be retained, not recycled in the cargo hold, and in the future, when the conditions are met, it can be recycled into materials.

When the three plant modules are combined, a space smelting and manufacturing workshop is already very complete.

But they soon discovered that even with a nuclear reactor, there was still not enough power to maintain the smelt shop.

The crew had no choice but to disconnect the nuclear reactor from the command module and provide electricity to the smelting plant alone.

A thermonuclear battery pack is used to provide power to the central computer and the control computers of the other cabins. barely made the smelter able to operate.

Now both the military and the space station are looking forward to the progress of the fusion reactor.

The problem is that even if the fusion reactor is successfully tested on the ground, it will have to be redesigned for the space environment.

However, Zhang Chun had already asked Einstein to be safe, and the development progress of the nuclear fusion reactor was slowed down again.

Fortunately, the research progress of thermonuclear batteries is very fast, and the safety is getting better and better.

This means that as long as there are enough battery packs, the space station is fully capable of composing enough power to supply the entire space station.

Of course, the ultimate solution is fusion reactors.

The technical bottleneck of a fusion reactor is also the damage caused by the core temperature and the neutrons produced during nuclear fusion.

The reactor under construction will certainly be able to complete the deuterium-deuterium stabilization reaction.

The deuterium-tritium reaction can also be tested.

But the ideal should be tritium-tritium, since it produces almost no neutrons.

But tritium-tritium requires too much core temperature and the highest amount of energy.

And it's really hard to say whether this reaction is cost-effective.

The Nuclear Energy Research Institute tried to ignite with a high-energy laser at the center of magnetic confinement.

But it also requires extremely high energy.

That is, a fusion reactor may need a nuclear fission reactor to turn on as a starting power, which is an extremely ridiculous thing.

It is more economical to have deuterium-deuterium now, except that people have to carry out adequate protection against neutron radiation.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chun believes that it needs to be more secure.

However, Einstein believed that the basic principles of electromagnetic confinement and superconductivity have not yet been fully understood, and only by figuring out these things can it be possible to conduct deeper research on controlled nuclear fusion, so as to achieve the goal of achieving more economical and easier methods.

Of course, the movement of neutrons in atoms such as graphite also needs to be studied.

This is something that must be figured out to complete neutron protection.

All these things, without a year or two, without long-term observation and testing, are not clear.

On February 14, 1941, the Qinghai Lake nuclear fusion reactor was officially put into operation to generate electricity, and the current was very stable.

Observations and inspections are also carried out at the same time.

This is a very serious test for researchers, because the neutron, once it escapes, is hardly able to stop it.

The human body is vulnerable to neutrons.

Researchers wear protective clothing that is more expensive than spacesuits.

Even with the addition of Motion Assist Armor, it moves slowly.

In other words, it's a game of life.

Fortunately, the reactor was able to shut down quickly.

As soon as the temperature of this thing comes up, the reaction stops.

It takes a long time to start.

Academia Sinica said: "Don't expect fusion reactors to be on ships or space stations in a short period of time.

This is still quite far away. ” Zhang Chun could only sigh after reading the report of the Academia Sinica.

Either way, controlled fusion is off to a good start.

The breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion lies in the study of superconductivity.

And the study of superconductivity has led to a sea change in computer manufacturing and design.

The study of high-temperature superconductivity is actually the result of the crystallization of materials and the study of crystal forms.

This involves microscopy and nanofabrication.

Microtechnology and nanofabrication, in turn, have facilitated the manufacture of computers.

So in fact, superconducting computers have become the fastest growing technology.

Computer manufacturing was completely replaced in just a few months.

If it weren't for the fact that the computer industry had not formed a capital force.

I am afraid that this kind of replacement will be difficult to complete.

But in China, the elimination of related investment and equipment manufacturing plants is eliminated.

The production line can only be transformed dramatically.

In Shanghai, when the most primitive crystal computers, which have been eliminated for many generations, appeared in front of foreign researchers, these people suddenly realized.

Transistors, silicon semiconductors are one of the reasons why China can be at the forefront of the world.

Powerful computing power is a must for conducting nuclear research.

In the past, countries did not have it, and it was calculated by pulling the slide rule.

And the Chinese, in addition to the abacus, also invented the transistor calculator.

And China also began to sell such transistor calculators and transistor radios.

Among them, the transistor manufacturing technology was also revealed.

Countries around the world have followed suit.
