"If you want to become an interstellar civilization, the core is the breakthrough of energy technology. High-speed engines and biological lifespan are these three aspects. Among them, energy technology is the most important. Only when energy technology breaks through can there be enough resources to study the remaining technology."

"Controllable nuclear fusion, the current problem can be summarized as unpredictable plasma turbulence phenomenon, the temperature is not high enough, and the magnetic field is not strong enough. The next two problems can actually be summarized into one problem, that is, materials.

The current technology of human beings is enough to create an environment of hundreds of millions of temperatures, but it is difficult to accommodate an environment of such temperatures.

This has exceeded the limit of any material and can only be bound by magnetic fields. From an engineering perspective, a stronger magnetic field is required to bind the plasma.

A larger magnetic field requires a larger current. The heating phenomenon of conductors passing through the current must be completed using superconducting materials. If there are room temperature superconducting materials, these two problems will no longer be problems.

In addition to these three problems, there are also phenomena such as insufficient magnetic field control, magnetic surface tearing, and mutual interference between magnetic fields and plasma have been plagued. However, these problems are actually due to insufficient understanding of plasma turbulence, which leads to insufficient optimization of the device design."

"To summarize the technical barriers currently encountered by controlled nuclear fusion, it is actually the unpredictable plasma turbulence phenomenon, and the delay in breakthrough of normal temperature superconducting materials technology."

Lin Meng went to study in seclusion, and the compression chip burn design was completed. Li Yashan took a long vacation to negotiate with ZTE, and Zao Ge was responsible for the registration of global patents.

Lu Yi spent more than a month in the library, looked through the materials and searched for documents, and finally gained a clear understanding of the current difficulties encountered in controlled nuclear fusion.

"It's extremely difficult!" Lu Yi closed the book and frowned deeply.

The superconducting phenomenon has been discovered for more than 100 years and has been studied for decades. Now it still needs to be soaked in liquid nitrogen at more than 100 degrees below zero to produce superconducting phenomenon. Every increase of 1 degree requires a lot of research and experimental new materials, which is extremely difficult.

And the plasma turbulence phenomenon that seems simple and can be directly analyzed from the data level is not simple.

It is already a fact that high-temperature plasma is unobservable under current technology.

We all know that detection is actually the process of sending a beam or particle beam, then collecting rebound collision data of the beam particle beam, and finally analyzing the data.

Temperature is the embodiment of molecular thermal motion. The temperature of the nuclear fusion plasma is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of millions of temperatures. Ninety-nine percent of particles enter such plasma and then their properties will change directly and eventually lose their effectiveness. Or they are dispersed by plasma with extremely violent microscopic motion and cannot complete the final data collection.

If you cannot detect, there will be no basic data. Without data, how can you analyze and summarize the phenomenon of plasma turbulence?

"Lin Meng said that the tool key has been found, Li Yashan and ZTE Unicom have also reached a preliminary consensus, and the global patent application on Brother Zao has also entered the patent confidentiality stage. It seems that I need a plasma expert."

......

"Lu Lu, this is Professor Zhang's office. I told him the general situation."

A young and beautiful master's senior sister in a short skirt brought Lu Yi to a professor's office. After realizing that she needed a plasma expert to help solve some problems, Lu Yi immediately contacted a senior sister she had met before.

With the help of his handsome network, we found Professor Zhang, a Zhongda University who has a relatively deep understanding of plasma.

"The professor is easy to talk to, but he hates those students with inappropriate attitudes. Lu Lu will remember to be polite and upright later."

Standing outside the office, the senior sister gently explained some professors' personal preferences to Lu Yi to prevent Lu Yi from being careful and annoyed the professor.

"Thank you senior sister, then I'll go in." After listening patiently, Lu Yi smiled and signaled that he was going to go in.

Under the gentle cheering gaze behind him, Lu Yi knocked on the door. After hearing the sound of inviting him to enter, he pushed the door and walked in.

"Hello, Professor Zhang."

"sit."

Professor Zhang, who was in his 50s, looked very rosy and raised his head from the documents on the table and asked, "Are you the classmate Lu who Linlin mentioned?"

It can be heard that the senior sister who brought Lu Yi over had a good relationship with the professor.

"Yes, students have some questions about plasma that have not been understood. I want to ask for advice like a professor." Lu Yi nodded and briefly explained his purpose.

"Then why did you come to me?"

Professor Zhang looked at Lu Yi up and down and became interested, but this interest flashed with a strong gossip in Lu Yi's eyes.

"I asked my seniors about the plasma situation of CUHK and learned that you are the expert with the most profound research experience in this area, so I want to ask you for advice."

Lu Yi flattered him in a faint way, and God gave him a face with a flattery effect of 100. He learned how to use his innate advantages very early on.

Sure enough, facing Lu Yi's words, Professor Zhang's expression calmed down even more, and he smiled and said, "What's the problem? See if I can answer it."

"I would like to ask for advice on the chaotic unpredictable phenomenon of plasma turbulence. At present, the international data on high-temperature plasmas are all inference predictions, and the data is not very accurate. I would like to ask if there is any way to improve plasma observations?"

"Plasma turbulence? Are you planning to develop into a thermonuclear fusion experimental reactor?"

Professor Zhang was stunned. At first, he thought Lu Yi had some problems with plasma in terms of magnetic fields, because this problem was a severe disaster area for students. He didn't expect that the ultimate chaos problem would be the first question.

He already knew Lu Yi's major and grade. Now that he heard about plasma turbulence, Professor Zhang quickly thought of controlled nuclear fusion.

He has seen many such students. When many students who study physics hear controllable nuclear fusion, they will involuntarily be attracted by this vast project that represents the future of mankind and the future of civilization, but this project is not something that ordinary people can participate in.

"How much did you get in the last academic year?" Professor Zhang did not answer, but instead asked Lu Yi's credit score.

“83.5.”

"I don't recommend you to move towards the core direction of nuclear fusion."

Professor Zhang shook his head. Physics and mathematics test their talents. Lu Yi's 83.5 grade point proves that although his talent is OK, it is just average. It is difficult to achieve anything when it comes to controlled nuclear fusion.

"Professor, you misunderstood."

Lu Yi smiled bitterly: "I didn't plan to study this myself, but I just made some money and wanted to invest in it. I used mathematical models to summarize the fluid data of plasma turbulence to provide data reference for the manufacturing optimization of Tokmark and star imitators."

"I made some money and wanted to invest? How much did I make?"

Professor Zhang felt that his head could not keep up with Lu Yi's thinking. It was impossible for a junior student majoring in physics to know how much resources it would cost to study this. Is this child crazy about having too much money?
