Chapter 552
Ronald Bigot stood in front of the busy construction site, pointed to the building under construction not far away and began to introduce the situation of the International Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor, "The iter device still follows the operating principle of the Tokemark device.
It’s just that the experimental device we built is larger in scale and has a higher energy level!”
"What will be installed at that location is the core component of the ITER device - the high-temperature deuterium-tritium plasma ring." Bigo's fingers changed directions, "There is a plasma current of 15 megaamps, and the nuclear fusion reaction power reaches 500,000 kilowatts.
, releasing up to 1020 high-energy neutrons per second. The plasma ring is in a ring-shaped envelope with a shielding envelope. The shielding envelope will absorb 500,000 kilowatts of thermal power and all neutrons produced by nuclear fusion reactions."
"The design principle is nothing new! But such a high power cannot be compared with our experimental device!" Someone in the Chinese delegation expressed their opinion in a low voice.
"A few milligrams of a mixture of deuterium and tritium is put into a small ball with a diameter of about a few millimeters, and then a laser beam or particle beam is evenly injected from the outside, so that the inner layer of the sphere is squeezed inward. The gas inside the ball is squeezed,
As the pressure rises, the temperature also rises sharply. When the temperature reaches the required ignition temperature, the gas in the ball explodes, generating a large amount of heat.
"Yes. Such explosions occur three or four times per second, and continue continuously. Most of the existing controllable nuclear fusion experimental devices use this method!" Someone was born and said this to Hua.
Not only did the representatives of the country feel a sense of pride, the founder of this theory was Mr. Wang Ganchang, an older generation scientist from China.
"Hey, the more you invest, the more likely you are to achieve results! Our country only allocates one billion U.S. dollars to research on controllable nuclear fusion every year, and it has to be distributed to so many units! If this situation does not change, in the future
We will have to catch up with the United States and ITER for a long time!" Academician Nie sighed and couldn't help complaining. "At the end of last year, I went to the superior department many times to apply for funds, but the result was! Still only
So little!”
"Yes, how can we do experiments without money!" This sentence aroused the echo of the crowd. Only Ma Yang showed a smile at the edge of the crowd. It's not that the country doesn't invest heavily in this field, it just doesn't leave it to you.
!
"Forget about doing experiments! Without funds, it is difficult for us to recruit people. As soon as the Xihe Plan came out, they robbed talents in both the superconducting field and the laser field! I would say that aerospace technology is important, but not
There will be no fundamental development in controllable nuclear fusion and aerospace technology!" Before he could be happy for a long time, the topic gradually developed in a direction that worried him.
"Mr. Bigo, may I ask what kind of equipment is being built over there?" Ma Yang was afraid that these people's words would create inappropriate associations for the iter staff, so he quickly stood up and asked.
"That is a toroidal superconducting magnet, which can generate a toroidal strong magnetic field of 5.3 Tesla. It is one of the key components of the device. This device will cost 1.2 billion U.S. dollars." Mr. Bigo did not seem to notice that China
The scientists continued to introduce the discussion to everyone. When he talked about US$1.2 billion, there was a sense of pride in his tone. In his opinion, except here and the United States, no country in the world can take it.
Such a grand gesture was made, "Through the center of the ring is a huge superconducting coil barrel, and there are six large toroidal superconducting coils outside the toroidal field coil, that is, poloidal field coils. The central solenoid and
The role of the poloidal field coil is to generate plasma current and control the plasma configuration. The high-temperature deuterium-tritium plasma ring and the toroidal superconducting magnet are covered in a large Dewar. They are located on the base and constitute the experimental reactor body."
Mr. Bigo pointed his fingers around the main body. He announced the names of devices one after another and their basic parameters, "Outside the main body are four 10-megawatt high-current particle accelerators, 10-megawatt steady-state
Millimeter electromagnetic wave system, 20 megawatt radio frequency wave system and dozens of advanced plasma diagnostics
The entire system also includes: large power supply system, large tritium factory, large water supply (including deionized water) system, large high vacuum system, large liquid nitrogen, liquid helium cryogenic system, etc. All possible adjustments and adjustments within the iter body
Maintenance is done through remotely controlled robots or robot hands."
"Gentlemen! The iter device represents the highest achievement of controllable nuclear fusion research in the world. It also uses top technologies in many fields, such as large superconducting magnet technology, medium-energy high-current accelerator technology, and continuous and high-power millimeter wave technology.
, complex remote control technology, etc." After introducing the device, Mr. Bigot raised his chest, as if to say, come and worship. Come and praise the great strength of our French people!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Academician Nie took the lead in applauding, and then other Chinese representatives also applauded. Mr. Bigo's chest rose higher in the applause.
"Iter is indeed a joint product of several major scientific and technological powers in the world! It is much better than our current experimental device in terms of scale and efficiency! Even the east can't compare with the experimental reactor we see now!
"Academician Nie first sighed with emotion.
"Yes, the reaction device we have is like a toy compared to this one!" echoed a representative from another city in Sichuan Province.
"According to the original agreement, our country can also send staff here to conduct research, right? It would be great if I could come here!" Someone began to think about joining iter.
Mr. Bigo almost laughed from ear to ear amidst the praises of everyone. He looked at the expressions of admiration and respect shown by these people with satisfaction, but when his eyes swept over Ma Yang, his smile suddenly froze.
; There was a smile on Ma Yang's face that was not easily noticed. This smile was not the happy smile of Academician Nie and others who saw major changes in their research field, but...a faintly disdainful smile.
Ordinary people might not be able to detect the meaning of his smile, but Mr. Bigot is a Frenchman with a romantic nature. When he was young, he knocked down countless beauties on the banks of the Seine. There is something hidden behind those subtle expressions.
The information is very sensitive!
Haha, the data he just mentioned are mediocre compared to what Xihe planned! Ma Yang suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his head and met Mr. Bigo's eyes. Oh, he must have discovered it.
What's wrong? Ma Yang quickly asked, "Mr. Bigo, what is the design goal of iter?"
