Chapter 54 The Test Machine Comes Out

Fang Xu looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with a complicated face, and the ballpoint pen in his hand trembled slightly.

Solid lithium is still dangerous, let alone liquid lithium heated above 180.54℃!

Now, Lu Yongchang actually told him that he would use liquid lithium as a reaction solution for controlled nuclear fusion?!

That's nuclear fusion!

The most violent reaction of the entire star system!

Not only Fang Xu, but all the researchers and professors around him looked strange after hearing the use of liquid lithium as the solution.

"Ahem..."

"Professor Lu, why don't we... let's consider it again?"

Lu Hezheng, who was beside him, cleared his throat and persuaded him in a kind voice.

Lu Yongchang glanced around and saw everyone's faces, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Well, to be honest, he also thinks that the security of this solution is not very high.

But which one of the experiments related to nuclear physics is truly safe?

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and walked to the demonstration whiteboard beside the laboratory.

He reached out to pick up the black marker beside him and wrote a series of complex and beautiful formulas on it.

"Everyone, this is a mathematical model of the acoustic luminescence phenomenon."

"To ignite nuclear fusion in solution, we must make the temperature of the bubble collapse reach hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!"

"And only liquid lithium can achieve this!"

As he said that, Lu Yongchang waved his right hand quickly and wrote down a detailed calculation process on the whiteboard.

Fang Xu looked at the formula on the demonstration whiteboard thoughtfully and nodded slightly.

As one of the top academicians, Fang Xu quickly followed Lu Yongchang's explanation and came up with the answer.

He sighed softly and said helplessly: "If there is no error in the mathematical model, then liquid lithium may be our only choice."

Lu Yongchang chuckled: "In my opinion, liquid lithium is not the choice in helplessness."

“On the contrary, it is the best choice for small fusion reactors!”

While talking, Lu Yongchang wrote a symbol heavily on the demonstration whiteboard.

li-6!

The moment he saw this symbol, Fang Xu's pupils shrank suddenly!

He understood!

He understood everything!

"Yongchang, you are planning to use the physical properties of lithium-6!"

A trace of excitement flashed in Fang Xu's eyes, and he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and rubbed his nose hard: "Yes! Yes! You're right!"

"Liquid lithium is the best choice for small fusion reactors!"

Seeing Fang Xu with excitement on his face, a smile flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

It is worthy of being Fang Xu!

Grasp the key points right away!

Unlike Fang Xu, the researchers and professors around him were all looking at Lu Yongchang with confusion at this time.

Of course, Lu Yongchang didn't keep it for too long, so he directly spoke up to explain.

"The lithium-6 atom has a physical property that is easily overlooked."

"When it is bombarded by neutrons, it releases tritium atoms."

Hearing Lu Yongchang's explanation, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly suffocated!

I see!

Once the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction is triggered, a large number of neutrons will naturally be released outward!

After these neutrons bombard the surrounding liquid li-6, the liquid li-6 will release a large number of tritium atoms!

In this way, compared with Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor, small fusion reactors do not even need to be replenished with tritium, but only need to be replenished with the cheapest deuterium gas regularly to maintain the operation of the fusion reactor for a long time!

"Yongchang! I'll contact the factory now!"

Fang Xu said with an excited look: "I didn't realize it just now. Now it seems that this is simply the best solution to miniaturize the fusion reactor!"

...

Three days later.

A huge iron factory was built out of thin air on the open space one thousand meters away from Xiaguo First Laboratory.

In the center of the factory, there is a dark black cylindrical container.

The container is about two meters high and about one meter in diameter.

At the bottom of the container is a huge ultrasonic generator.

This seemingly simple container is a test machine for a small fusion reactor.

Looking at the device in front of him, a hint of sigh flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

I have to say that after gathering most of the resources of the Xia Kingdom, the progress of the experiment was accelerated unlimitedly!

Three days ago, Fang Xu had just finished contacting the factory. In just one hour, the drawings of the test machine of the small fusion reactor were placed in front of Lu Yongchang!

Next... Xia Guo not only completed the manufacturing of the test machine within three days, but even, for safety reasons, Xia Guo also specially built an iron factory on the open space to serve as a temporary experimental site.

"Yongchang, when will we start the experiment?"

Fang Xu turned his head and looked at the test machine in the center of the factory, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.

This is a small fusion reactor!

As a top academician in the field of nuclear fusion, Fang Xu knows the value of this thing more than anyone else!

Unlike large fusion reactors, small fusion reactors will not be used in the civilian field, they will only shine in the military field!

Thinking that Xia's aircraft carriers, submarines or fighter aircraft will use nuclear fusion as energy in the future, Fang Xu's heart began to beat violently!

"No hurry, let's wait for someone first."

Lu Yongchang's faint words came from the side.

"Wait for someone?"

Fang Xu was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Who are you waiting for?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes crossed Fang Xu and looked into the distance: "Here, here we are!"

Fang Xu quickly turned his head and looked in the direction Lu Yongchang was looking.

I saw a black red flag car slowly heading towards the iron factory.

The license plate number is naturally the familiar string of numbers.

"The Chairman of the Council is here?!"

Fang Xu was shocked and exclaimed softly.

"Let's go!" Lu Yongchang tidied up his clothes, "We should go and greet him!"

...

"So small?!"

"Yongchang, are you sure this thing can undergo controllable nuclear fusion?!"

As soon as he saw the test machine, Congressman Li questioned Lu Yongchang.

Faced with a question, Lu Yongchang naturally responded with a smile: "Chairman of Parliament, this thing doesn't depend on the size of it!"

"Now it's just a test machine. If it succeeds, its size can be smaller!"

"At that time, it will be fine if it is installed in your car!"

Congressman Li smacked his lips, obviously not particularly convinced by Lu Yongchang's words: "The power generation power of this thing should not be as good as Pangu No. 1, right?"

Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly suffocated.

Isn’t this nonsense?!

What is Pangu No. 1?!www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

The area alone covers 20 square kilometers!

How big is this small fusion reactor?

Seeing Lu Yongchang being defeated, Fang Xu's face suddenly showed a knowing smile on his face.

However, no matter how much you laugh, your boss is defeated, your subordinates still need help explaining and maintaining it.

"Ahem, the Chairman of the Council, the power is naturally different in size." Fang Xu continued, "According to estimates, the power of the small fusion reactor in front of you should be about 1,000 megawatts."

The long eyebrows raised.

1000 MW!
