To this day, even though mankind has entered the interstellar era, there are still two areas in which substantial breakthroughs have not been made.
One is room temperature superconductivity, and the other is cold nuclear fusion.
The current superconducting technology is still "high-temperature superconducting," which is a superconductor realized using low-temperature and pressurized technology. It is far from what people think of as being able to exist in a normal state at room temperature and maintain superconducting properties.
But even if it is far away, room-temperature superconductivity can still expect some special materials to suddenly appear.
In comparison, cold fusion is too magical.
In essence, if the imagined fusion of two atoms at normal temperature and pressure is realized, this is tantamount to the highest level of "alchemy" and should be classified as magic.
The current controllable nuclear fusion is thermonuclear fusion, which takes the path of simulating the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of stars. However, through continuous advancement of materials and design, controllable nuclear fusion has generally begun to take the high-pressure path - basically reaching O- The Grct crystal generates a force field to the limit, and the result is that the required temperature drops by almost 500 million degrees, which greatly reduces the difficulty of ignition.
But again, human beings’ pursuit of technology is unlimited.
When it was discovered that the use of conventional technology in this universe has reached the end visible to the naked eye—unless a new material is created that can produce a stronger dimensional wave force field—a group of imaginative scientists began to set their sights. The two-dimensional field is currently very hot.
“This is the model we are initially building.”
Since technology was involved, it was not appropriate to sit in the meeting room and chat. Soon everyone entered the meeting room, and Director Huo Liang gave a technical explanation.
The virtual projection on the conference table shows an ingenious design based on two-dimensional space - actually a lot of geometric compositions.
Professor Huo Liang looked at Ye Ming: "How about it? Do you dare to do it?"
Ye Ming has been lost in thought since the cold nuclear fusion came out of Professor Huo Liang's mouth, and it was no exception until now. Hearing this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and blinked his eyelids.
Everyone had been dealing with him for a long time and knew that he was constantly calculating in his mind, so they all waited quietly.
After a while, Ye Ming opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I can pass the theory."
"Of course you can pass it, it's the theory of your Multi-Dimensional Space Research Institute."
"But the fractal design needs to be redesigned, and the constraint system and navigation system also need to be redesigned... Well, but these are okay." Ye Ming exhaled slowly, and flicked the five fingers of his right hand quickly on the table. Playing it, as if playing the piano: "Let me think about it, there are actually experimental conditions now."
Professor Huo Liang was slightly startled: "How to do the experiment?"
"The Physics Center has a verification system for the two-dimensional membrane generator, but both the constraint field and the width of the two-dimensional expansion are very limited. It is currently testing the dimensionality reduction properties of the material for the Materials Institute."
After he finished speaking, Professor Huo Liang clenched his fist fiercely: "Then what are you waiting for?"
"If we want to redesign it, let's get the fusion out first - and I have a new idea."
"What new idea?"
"We don't need to use something as exaggerated as a neutron film as a substrate in two-dimensional space. We only need to use atomic layers. In this way, materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes can be used." Ye Ming said with eyes. It gradually became brighter, and the voice was full of joy.
“If we can do that, then we can really miniaturize energy!”
Ye Ming stood up as he spoke: "Let's design it first, and then I'll notify Sheng Fei to prepare for the experiment!"
…
Three days later, a group of dark commercial vehicles drove out of Jiangcheng, driven by a large number of police cars, and then onto the highway.
In the past ten years, highways across the country have expanded service areas. While gas stations have been gradually eliminated, a large number of fast charging parking spaces have been added.
On today's highways, except for trucks, it is almost impossible to see oil trucks, and even trucks, most of them have introduced automatic driving functions.
Under Aita's control, even though the traffic on the road was like a long queue, it did not affect the speed at all. In less than an hour and a half, the motorcade successfully arrived at the provincial capital and then drove into the provincial courtyard.
"Where are they?" As soon as he got off the car, Professor Huo Liang looked around. Although he was a veteran teacher of the Provincial Government, he left the school after becoming the director of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Center. Now he has returned to the Provincial Government. His eyesight went dark.
"The basement of the laboratory building."
Ye Ming led everyone and strode towards the laboratory building along the tree-lined avenue. Fortunately, there were still a few days until school started, otherwise the appearance of this group of them would probably cause a sensation.
At the entrance of the experimental building, everyone exchanged a few words with Sheng Fei and others who were waiting here and then went straight to the basement.
…
"This is graphene, this is the purest lead plate, this is the constraint circuit we put together overnight, this is the deuterium and tritium tank."
In the basement, Sheng Fei, who had been occupying the experimental model of the two-dimensional space expander, introduced it to Ye Ming. Finally, he took another look at the crowded crowd and was extremely nervous: "Mr. Ye, when we do the experiment later, the experiment I’m afraid Lou has to clear the place, right?”
Ye Ming looked at the group of people gathered next to the small ring-shaped two-dimensional expander and laughed: "Of course, I just brought everyone here to take a look."
Sheng Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. I thought you were going to see something strange."
"Sheng Fei, do you always clear the place when doing experiments?" Professor Huo Liang's voice sounded, and he walked over and looked at him happily.
"It was only cleared once at the beginning of the experiment, but not cleared after that. But... Teacher Huo, you are doing nuclear fusion this time!" Sheng Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "What if this thing becomes uncontrollable? …”
"Don't worry, we will control the fusion fuel. At the beginning, we can only use the energy of a grenade."
"Then I can't bear the grenades exploding here. Can it be lowered? Get some firecrackers?"
"It's meaningless if it's too low." Ye Ming smiled and shook his head, then walked towards the two-dimensional expander.
From the appearance, it is a large ring with a diameter of about two meters supported in mid-air. It is densely covered with dimensional wave restrainers. Below the ring is an anti-gravity field generating device, whose function is The material is suspended in the air so that it can be contacted by the two-dimensional space membrane and unfolded in two directions - after unfolding, it also needs to be compressed and restrained and the two-dimensional space is fixed on the "smoothest" substrate material.
So far, the smoothest material is naturally the neutron film.
But that thing... Let's put it this way, according to the conventional input-output ratio of the last experiment, the cost of that small neutron film was as high as one billion.
Fortunately, graphene is cheap and theoretically feasible.
Seeing Ye Ming coming over, everyone stopped discussing.
"Then are we ready to start?"
