Chapter 394 The Road to Nuclear Fusion
Chapter 394 Ai Nuclear Fusion
But in the end, the experimental results were lower than expected.
The key issue is that the q value is too small.
Although logically speaking, the run time and fusion efficiency are equivalent.
However, the fusion efficiency is also low when it is at extremely low temperatures for a long time.
The disadvantage of star imitators is that the fusion temperature is too low.
This can generate too few energy gain factors.
It is almost difficult to achieve the goal of production exceeding consumption.
And for the design of imitation stellar filters.
There are currently no good methods and solutions in the world.
Therefore, the country is currently cautious in investing in star imitators.
Generally speaking, the manufacturing difficulty of imitation stellar devices is much greater than that of ring tokamak.
Many key components are still blank in China.
It is very difficult to develop.”
Su Han nodded and said, "In fact, nuclear fusion is a project that can affect the whole body. No matter which route, it has advantages and disadvantages. But according to the current situation, the best situation is the level of the Iter experimental reactor. Do you think there is a method or route for nuclear fusion that can make the q value of fusion reach more than 50."
More than 50!
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
These people are all experts in the field of nuclear fusion.
The world record is only a little over the past few days.
And this record is not stable.
Even the target of the iter experiment reactor is only five, and the maximum possibility is only ten.
It may be possible to achieve it in the end.
And even if it can be achieved.
Whether the output can be continuously and stably is also a question.
It reaches more than 50.
These people never dared to think so in their dreams.
The room suddenly became a little quiet!
This kind of novice who has regarded Su Han as a novice field.
It is impossible for an expert in the field of nuclear fusion to say such things.
Because this is no longer nuclear fusion.
It's already a fantasy.
Roda thought for a while and said, "Mr. Su! I don't know how much you know about nuclear fusion. But it took decades worldwide to increase the energy gain factor to a little. At this time, the ceiling has actually reached the ceiling. Maybe you don't know that early nuclear fusion was just a very simple way to generate magnetic fields. Just generate plasma.
Now we must have the ability to deal with the charge separation problem caused by the drift of charged particles in the vertical direction. Among them, there are curvature drift, gradient drift problems, and we also have to face the instability of plasma energy exchange and plasma ion thermonuclear turbulence problems.
The boundary local mode that occurs in high-constrained mode will release high-energy plasma.
The problem of dispersion of fish bone molds.
These problems are all internal problems of the ion.
It is not that easy to solve any problem.
How to design the extreme field coil?
How to design a circular field coil?
How to design the central solenoid?
These are all problems we need to solve.
There are also control means, electronic control systems, heating systems, ion cycle control, electronic cycling, heating and auxiliary heating of neutral beam injection, low-clutter current driving, as well as various control channels, control automation, etc.
Any category and function in these control systems consists of countless small categories and functions.
It can be seen that nuclear fusion is now a very complex system.
Any little design that you want to change.
It may all be overturned and started from scratch.
You now know why people always say that nuclear fusion is a project that will always take fifty years.
Because the current nuclear fusion technology is too large and too complex.
It is the most optimistic result that such a complex system can achieve a q value of 10.
After iter is built, let alone 5, it may not be even 3.
As for what you said 50.
Don’t blame me for breaking the gong for you!
Maybe it may not be possible in another fifty years.
At least with the current global nuclear fusion technology level, it is impossible to deal with the possibility of q value above 10."
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Luo Da is worthy of being one of the designers of the Huaxia Super Ring.
The analysis is naturally comprehensive.
In fact, with the iteration and progress of nuclear fusion technology.
Various functions have become more complicated and cumbersome.
Any of these functions is enough for a team to study for a lifetime.
What's more, nuclear fusion is a system now.
The most important thing is that nuclear fusion now only has a general direction.
There is no accurate direction.
In other words, even if everyone has set the direction and meets the design expectations, no one is sure whether it can be achieved in the end.
In a sense, nuclear fusion is the ceiling of the global technology field now.
And it is a ceiling without specific goals.
The future of nuclear fusion seems to be hidden in the fog.
No one knows whether nuclear fusion can be achieved in the end.
After all, the plasma generated by nuclear fusion is something that is uncontrollable in chaotic states.
No one knows what problems may occur in the future of nuclear fusion.
Otherwise, it would not be said that nuclear fusion is a project that will always take fifty years.
Su Han nodded and said, "Although I am not an expert in the field of nuclear fusion, I can't learn it! The most important thing is to kill the master with random punches.
Experts are needed in the field of nuclear fusion. Experts allow us to avoid detours on this road, and can step on the shoulders of our predecessors and reach the top again.
But I also need a young man. Because a young man has the imagination that experts do not have. Perhaps this kind of imagination can break technical barriers and allow nuclear fusion to make another breakthrough!
Actually, I am such a naughty character.
Speaking of the knowledge of nuclear fusion, of course I am not as good as the experts and teachers here. But I think the biggest problem with nuclear fusion now is not technology. In fact, the global nuclear fusion field has accumulated enough technology in recent years. But why is technology so powerful? There is still no breakthrough in nuclear fusion.
It is because systems outside of technology have not kept up with technology.
I started out with software, I believe you all know it.
Although the current nuclear fusion control system has been automated, to put it bluntly, no longer requires manual intervention. However, this automation is still a fool-like type. In other words, it is linear, with obvious hierarchical structure, and has the characteristics of concatenation.
This kind of automation is just a replacement for manual control, not really intelligent control.
This kind of control system has no way to make precise control of nuclear fusion plasma in the millisecond range.
I think innovation should be done on the control system.
Using artificial AI methods, a set of self-learning and dynamic control systems are generated. The AI control speed of plasma is increased to the centiseconds or even microseconds.
The accuracy of this control is something that humans cannot do or imagine.
If we can use algorithms to completely solve the precise control of plasma.
