Chapter 506 Fusion experiments and superconductivity induction technology!
Luo Jia's words caused everyone to nod. In the controllable fusion, magnetic constraints are the basis. If the magnetic constraints do not meet the standards, even if they are said to be useless, they will be useless in the end.
"As we all know, after repeated argumentation, we finally chose the double helix star imitator. This brand new design is undoubtedly an epoch-making masterpiece..."
Luo Jia bragged shamelessly. In fact, it was not important to argue. What was important was that Luo Jia got the drawings and technology of energy civilization from the hands of Black Sword.
"In addition to design, another difficulty in magnetic constraint lies in superconducting materials." Luo Jia said calmly: "The German imitation device used expensive Nb-Ti, that is, niobium titanium alloy, and the French international thermonuclear fusion experimental reactor ITER used more expensive Nb3Sn, niobium tritin compound superconductor."
"I must also say that the design weight of ITER has reached a crazy 23,000 tons, equivalent to three Eiffel Towers. It is really expensive and spectacular, and it is just as spectacular as ITER. There is also the laser inertial constrained fusion device in North America, code-named NIF. Since we rely on Carmen vortex power generation technology to be the first to realize energy freedom, North America has been in a hurry in recent years and has invested a lot of money in the field of controllable fusion, so their laser inertial constrained technology has also made great progress."
"This is the increasingly fierce competition. Whether we or the West, we have invested a lot in the field of fusion. Next, it depends on who will win."
"Now let's go back to the aspect of superconducting materials. Seniors should know that our Star Technology Institute of Materials Science is the strongest on the earth. Dr. Ji Ming is responsible for carbon fiber and trititanium alloy, and Dr. Cao Yuan is responsible for graphene and nanotubes. They have made achievements and are the beginning of the field of materials science."
"But you may not know that there is another doctor in our Institute of Materials Science and Technology. He joined the company earlier than Cao Yuan, but he has always been unknown and has been an important position in the field of materials science, superconductors."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, guessing whether Xingchen Technology has made a breakthrough in superconducting research.
Superconductors are a good thing. When the external magnetic field changes, current will be induced. These currents will not become smaller in a slight sense because the superconductor has no resistance. According to Lenz's law, the magnetic field generated by the current will prevent the magnetic field from changing, so the final effect is that the magnetic flux that the superconductor has will never change.
Anyway, superconductors are a very awesome and widely used thing. Not only are they needed to controllable fusion, but all electrical-related technologies are needed, such as magnetic levitation cars and magnetic levitation trains in science fiction movies. Without superconducting technology, it is impossible to achieve. Superconducting is a pre-technology for advanced magnetic levitation.
In addition, Chao Anbang is not unknown. He is the youngest doctoral in materials science in Tsinghua's century-old history. Ordinary people may have never heard of Chao Anbang. This is normal, but in the circle, Cao Anbang's name has long been known to everyone.
After a pause, Luo Jia said: "I don't think that superconducting materials that need to reach absolute zero degrees to achieve zero resistance will have any future. After all, the condition of absolute zero degrees is too harsh and there is no meaning in reality. Our goal has always been clear, that is, to find a perfect material that has a stable zero resistance or close to zero resistance at any temperature."
"It's just that the requirements are too high, and the difficulty of R&D becomes very great. Chao Anbang led the team to pursue it hard, but never found a way to realize universal superconductors, and it also made great sacrifices. However, there is no way. Just when our superconducting project was stagnant, Cao Yuan's team completed the graphene preparation process and we can produce graphene on a large scale."
"Chao Anbang and Cao Yuan's team are in the same building. Researchers on both sides bow their heads all day long and don't look up. They are very familiar with each other. So Chao Anbang went to Cao Yuan and got a lot of graphene back. With the mentality of being a dead horse, he tried to use graphene for experiments. After all, we can mass-produce graphene, which is not rare. It is true that the road is close to the water and get the moon first."
"Things have become interesting now. Because of Cao Yuan's success, Chao Anbang broke out of the traditional superconducting research circle. He did not use niobium alloys or copper oxides, but instead made a whimsical idea and used graphene from the next laboratory for superconducting tests."
Luo Jia was like telling a story, talking about interesting things that happened in the company, and everyone's hearts were all raised at this moment.
"When you have nothing to do, get a bunch of graphene for superconducting tests? It's true that Xingchen Technology's whimsical style is."
"People are so popular that people are so popular. In most laboratories, it is not easy to find a few grams of graphene, but Xingchen Technology has more graphene than tons of measurement."
Everyone thought in their hearts, and at the same time they raised their ears and listened carefully, eager to know what the results of Chao'anbang's experiment were like.
Luo Jia smiled and said, "The experiment was not going smoothly at the beginning, but it couldn't stand the nurse. Chao Anbang's good friend Cao Yuan enthusiastically assisted. While conducting the test in the Superconducting Laboratory, the Graphene Laboratory also constantly updated its product lines, graphene, tubular graphene, nanotube graphene, bilayer graphene..."
"Chao Anbang was in a state of great difficulty, so he simply brought all these graphene products back for experiments. He accidentally discovered a strange phenomenon. When the angle of the double-layer graphene is close to one degree, the energy band structure will be close to a zero-dispersion energy band, which will cause the energy band to pass through a metal insulator when the energy band is filled halfway, and eventually transform into a Motel insulator."
"We first observed similar transformations in copper oxides, so copper oxides have always been the most popular research direction for high-temperature superconducting. There are at least hundreds of laboratories in China and even the world that use copper oxides to conduct superconducting research."
"Now, we have obtained similar results by changing the rotation angle of bilayer graphene. The most important significance is not that we use graphene as a superconductor, but that we provide an unprecedented research direction, using cold atomic systems to simulate the superconducting phase obtained by doping Motex insulating phase."
When Luo Jia faces many experts and scholars, the content of her speech will inevitably enter the professional depth, which is different from his weekly column program. The column is for the public and requires Luo Jia to speak human language. Many scientific predecessors are here. Luo Jia does not need to be easy to understand, but only professional and rigorous.
If Luo Jia's speech is translated into human words, when a material cannot become a superconductor, try to stack the material and twist it. The non-aligned stacking material may exhibit the magical characteristics of a superconductor.
Luo Jia's speech speed began to speed up and said: "We currently call this technology superconducting induction technology. Simply put, by chemically splicing with other elements, the superconducting state of graphene is induced."
Atomic chemical splicing is used to induce superconductor state!?
Everyone at the scene was shocked again. It was an unforgettable night. In just a few hours, Luo Jia led a group of academicians and experts to experience the magical charm of alien higher science.
Isn’t there no superconducting substances that exist naturally on the earth?
Then use chemical splicing to induce the characteristics of superconductors!
To be honest, if Luo Jia hadn't spent seven years learning the inheritance of the golden dome, he wouldn't have believed such a magical thing that obviously violated the laws of physics and was infinitely close to metaphysics.
"In order to accelerate the space program, more black technology must be thrown out." Luo Jia looked at everyone's reaction and thought to himself, "It seems that the earth science community has not yet reached the level of accepting advanced star surgery, but for the sake of the stars and seas, I can only ask you to get on the bus as soon as possible."
Hurry ~
Perhaps the superconducting induction theory was too amazing. Almost immediately, everyone raised their hands, hoping to ask Luo Jia a question.
Luo Jia was also very troubled when he thought of explaining a lot of problems.
Just then, a harsh sound rang out, which was a signal sent by Dr. Xie Tian from the fusion stack, and the countdown to the last fifteen minutes.
Just as everyone was listening to Luo Jia's explanation, time had quietly come to the early morning. In the history of Star Technology, the first controlled fusion experiment will be officially launched!
"The experiment is about to begin. If there is any problem, let's talk about it when the experiment is over."
After Luo Jia said that, he raised his legs and walked towards the monitoring room. Although the bosses of the two hospitals felt itchy and felt uncomfortable, they couldn't say anything else, so they had to follow Luo Jia with a lot of confusion.
Chapter completed!
