In fact, this society sometimes really looks like a development and operation game with relatively few bugs.
Establish a project in the right direction, invest enough funds, recruit necessary talents and creative geniuses, and then the most important thing is special experimental equipment and time.
Engaging in scientific research and high-tech hardware research is really a project with huge investment and unstable financial returns.
For example, the top treasure of modern industry-photolithography machine.
Today, there is only one country in the world that can manufacture the most advanced high-precision lithography machines, the Dutch company called ASML. However, due to such a monopoly, the EUV lithography machine they manufacture sells for 120 million euros. Equivalent to RMB 940 million, the money that can be sold and the funds invested are not worth it at all. And just look at the price and it will not be sold to outsiders at all, so the "sales volume" is not high.
Another example is Daxia's artificial sun, which is currently leading global research.
That is to simulate the environment of the solar core on the earth, so the relevant experimental equipment is also called the "artificial sun", and the full name is the "fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device (EAST)".
Of course, Gu Qing couldn't afford these two things.
The former requires too many high-precision manufacturing equipment and needs to be gradually refined; the latter requires too many financial resources. To stabilize the artificial sun and have practical applications, it requires many zero capital investments, which only the state can support.
But as a person whose head is filled with extra-dimensional technology, the latter, energy is actually easier to create.
But it's not an artificial sun, but a palladium reactor.
Palladium (Pd) is the 46th chemical element, and its element is a metal.
The most important thing is that palladium can absorb a large amount of hydrogen, even thousands of times its own volume. The hydrogen can be released only after being slightly heated. Therefore, palladium has great potential as a hydrogen storage material.
With such great potential, naturally many people are interested in it.
At the end of the 20th century, two giants in the electrochemistry community tried to use palladium to electrolyze heavy water, and then they published a conclusion after the experiment: This experiment had an unusually high energy output, and measured the output of neutrons and tritium, so They believe that palladium can induce nuclear fusion at room temperature, also known as cold fusion.
You know, usually in order for nuclear fusion to occur, the fuel needs to be heated to tens of millions of degrees Celsius so that the fuel has enough thermal kinetic energy to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between atoms to cause fusion.
If nuclear fusion can be achieved at room temperature, it will be a real energy revolution.
Thermal power generation that wastes resources and pollutes the environment, wind power generation that is troublesome to maintain and requires regional conditions, and hydropower generation that requires environmental changes and abundant water resources, these power generation projects will all be lost in the dust of history because of this palladium element reactor.
But the reality is not that simple. The experiments of these two electrochemistry giants have never been repeated by the "unscrupulous descendants" of later generations.
And the academic community has raised a lot of doubts about the results of palladium cold fusion. One of the most scientific doubts is:
The thermal motion energy of deuterium at room temperature is far from enough to overcome Coulomb repulsion, and fusion is impossible. Previous experiments have found that palladium will intensify the repulsion between deuterium and deuterium, making fusion less likely to occur.
So the palladium element reactor is like a farce. It was lively at first, but deserted later, and from time to time someone would come out and spit.
However, there are great differences in the knowledge Gu Qing inherited.
Two big guys invented the Ark Reactor, which uses palladium as a power source. It is an energy supply device that can provide clean energy to the outside world. However, the first-generation Ark Reactor was very large and the energy conversion efficiency was very low. Later, one of the big guys Lao's children improved the reactor design, successfully miniaturized it and used it as the power source for their own armor.
Physical problems can be described by partial differential equations (mathematical physics equations) about space and time. The theory of partial differential equations tells us that for a set of partial differential equations, there can be any number of solutions, so the definite solution is determined by the initial conditions and boundary conditions - called definite solution conditions.
Philosophically speaking, the physical process described by partial differential equations is an internal factor, and the initial conditions and boundary conditions are external factors. For a steady-state process, the definite solution condition is determined by the boundary conditions.
Specifically, it is determined by the wall conditions of the first wall of the vacuum chamber facing the plasma and the target plate of the divertor.
Gu Qing did not fully understand the technology of the Ark Reactor, but he was able to do it step by step based on the knowledge in his mind.
Of course, this is like a crafts enthusiast trying to assemble a very difficult model. Even if there are drawings, construction according to the drawings will require many trials and errors and corrections.
But there is no way. The Guardian No. 1 mecha lying in the underground laboratory is still relying on cables to transmit energy. December is coming. In order to surprise some people in Korea, the mecha's energy problem must be solved.
So after finishing the last meeting and drawing the cake, Gu Qing returned to the cold underground laboratory. He had three meals a day with Ahao, which was modified from the previous large sweeping robot. [Xuanwu] controlled it to order food in the cafeteria. Then bring the food back.
And while he was still hammering away and working hard.
Harbin Institute of Technology is separated from Xishu University by thousands of mountains and rivers.
In the graduate dormitory, there was a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses who was working on his thesis.
"Check for plagiarism. Damn that hammer, don't you want to cite it? CNKI is so expensive, isn't it just a joke?"
The Chu Ci in my thoughts was so angry.
However, I still sighed when I thought about the zero-tolerance attitude of relevant departments towards academic fraud and the measures to include academic misconduct in the list of dishonest persons.
It still needs to be checked.
He stretched and lowered his head to look at the laptop screen.
However, Chu Ci suddenly noticed that the penguin icon in the lower right corner of the screen was flashing.
Although he knew it might be an advertisement, he still clicked on it casually because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder, intending to close it.
It turned out that the message prompt came from the tutor's group notification.
His breathing froze instantly.
The supervisor of a graduate student is also the boss of the student. Project fees and other matters are the focus. If there are any problems from time to time, you have to be on call.
And the most important thing is that ordinary bosses cannot beat and scold their employees at will, but tutors can... even get diplomas...
Naturally, Chu Ci quickly clicked on the message.
"Look at the robot in this video. Can you tell whether it is a synthesized CG image? By the way, write down your review tomorrow."
Immediately following is a video link.
Chu Ci clicked on the link and jumped to Bi Zhan's video page.
