Chapter 666: A breakthrough in miniaturization!

?
In the end, Brother Luo stubbornly did not accept his proposal, saying that he would bring back the check from the Clay Institute in its entirety and hand it to Lu Zhou.
Later, Lu Zhou thought about it carefully, and felt that his proposal was indeed a bit inadequate, so he did not embarrass Brother Luo. Instead, he let the Institute of Higher Education's finances give him 100,000 US dollars in travel expenses, and wish him well. France and new girlfriend have fun.
Brother Qian Luo did not refuse, but not only that, he even asked him to take a month off.
It seems that he intends to return after the waves of money ...
Regardless of Brother Luo who is still in Europe.
These days, Lu Zhou has received congratulatory messages from many people.
Among them are the students and colleagues at work when he was in Princeton, the colleagues who had brief exchanges or business card exchanges at academic conferences, and the friends who had conducted in-depth exchanges.
For example Tao Zhexuan.
When they were studying Goldbach's conjecture, the two had worked closely together, and since then the relationship in private has been good. Academically, both of them are all-round scholars. The research scope covers almost all directions in the field of mathematics, so there are many things to talk about.
On the phone, Tao Zhexuan smiled and sent congratulations: "Congratulations, another millennial problem has fallen in front of you, maybe the Cray Institute should update their" question bank ". By the way, it is convenient to disclose your Next question? "
Lu Zhou: "I will probably not study mathematics for a while, but think about how to use science to change science."
Tao Zhexuan: "Like the moon?"
Lu Zhou: "Be one of them!"
Tao Zhexuan: "It sounds very exciting. My wife works at NASA and always shares with me things that are far away from my field of study. If you succeed, remember to reserve a seat for me , I have never traveled to the moon in my life. "
Lu Zhou joked with a smile: "There will be such a day, maybe one day I will have an academic report on the moon."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou got up from the office chair and was preparing to go downstairs to have lunch in the cafeteria. As a result, the cell phone that had just been in his pocket for a long time rang again.
Taking out the mobile phone, Sheng Xianfu called it. Lu Zhou didn't hesitate and immediately pressed the connect button.
"Hey?"
"professor……"
After hearing what was wrong in Sheng Xianfu's voice, Lu Zhou asked without thinking.
"It exploded again? Did it hurt someone? Is the equipment I borrowed okay?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xianfu was almost out of breath, coughed a few times and said, "What blew up again! We are not studying bombs, are we so nervous?"
Lu Zhou: "..."
In a sense, fusion reactions are more scary than ordinary bombs?
but……
People safe is good.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lu Zhou said blankly, "What is the mystery of your god?"
Sheng Xianfu touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly: "Aren't I excited?"
Lu Zhou: "... excited?"
"Well," Sheng Xianfu, holding the phone, nodded heavily, and said with a few tremolos, "We seem to be ... successful."
The phone was silent for half a minute.
Lu Zhou calmed down and took a deep breath.
"I'll be right here and I'm talking and talking."
Having said that, Lu Zhou hung up the phone and continued to call Wang Peng.
"Get down at the courtyard and pick me up."
Wang Peng didn't ask much, only returned a word.
"it is good."
Twenty minutes by car, a black red flag stopped at the gate of the institute.
After getting out of the car, Lu Zhou didn't stop at any time, quickly passed the academy's access control, and went straight to the corner of the academy.
Since the last security incident, the laboratory of the Controllable Fusion Miniaturization Research Group has been moved from the corner of the Institute to a temporary warehouse next to the institute. Even so, people who pass by occasionally go around unconsciously.
Quickly walked to the door of the laboratory, before Lu Zhou's forefoot was next to the door, he heard a deafening cheer in the laboratory, and the glass trembled.
"What's the matter?" Lu Zhou hurriedly entered the laboratory and quickly found Sheng Xianfu with an excited face.
"The idea of ​​using liquid metal as the working solution is correct! According to experimental data, when using liquid lithium as the working solution, we can apply a greater sound pressure to the bubbles through the ultrasonic emission device! And let the volume of the bubbles collapse Change is more stable! "In order to restrain the excitement in his heart and make his words look sharp, both sides of Sheng Xianfu were shaking.
Hearing that his own conjecture was verified, Lu Zhou's face could not help but show joy.
But rather than success itself, he is more concerned about how they did it.
"Why did it fail last time?"
Sheng Xianfu said excitedly: "In the beginning, we tried to increase the power of the ultrasonic generator. However, the neutron value-added rate could not be reached. Finally, we discovered that the key to the problem was the deuterium and tritium mixed gas!"
Lu Zhou: "What did you do?"
"We preheated the injected gas a bit!"
Lu Zhou's heart moved and immediately said: "Heating and ionizing the deuterium and tritium mixed gas?"
Sheng Xian said with a smile on his face: "Exactly!"
A stunned expression appeared on Lu Zhou's face, and probably understood their approach.
The deuterium and tritium mixed gas is heated and ionized, and then injected into the liquid lithium through the air inlet. Although the ionization temperature of several tens of thousands is not much compared with the instantaneous temperature of tens of millions of degrees, it is in an expanded state. When ionized gas is driven into liquid lithium, it will have a larger surface area than normal temperature, and the energy transferred from the sound field to the bubble will also increase.
In such cases, the sharply collapsed bubbles will obtain a greater instantaneous temperature, thereby reaching the conditions for the DT fusion reaction to occur!
Standing beside Sheng Xianfu, Professor Li Changxia also said with excitement: "We have found a more stable way to achieve controlled fusion! We are walking in front of the world again!"
"Yes……"
Looking at the humble lacquered black metal tube placed in the center of the laboratory, Lu Zhou's face couldn't help but a fascination ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The design scheme of the Hall propulsion unit has been recovered from Wreck III The five-axis linkage CNC machine tools are installed in the space shuttle assembly center, and Xiao Ai's production is completed without any problems. Now the problem of miniaturization of controlled fusion has also been solved, and nothing can stop him from completing the blueprint in his mind.
Of course, even now it seems that this "reactor" is still very crude, and the utilization ratio of power and energy is far inferior to that of Pangudui's huge magnetic confinement fusion device, which cannot be reused. The high cost also makes it almost impossible to use in general transportation.
However, this miniaturized fusion power generation device is not itself used to provide energy for production and living, so this shortcoming does not matter.
Considering its superiority in volume energy density and its advantages over fission cells in power, even if it is "slightly" more expensive, it is undeniable.
In conjunction with the Hall propulsion unit he recovered from Wreck III, this device will redefine the word aerospace, just as gunpowder redefines war.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire world will change because of their findings today ...
