From small town academic to chief scientist - Chapter 336 Mass production of sixth-generation fighter jets

This meeting was very detailed, but even though it was so detailed,

The steps to implement are also very difficult.

The various technologies inside are as difficult as climbing to the sky.

As we all know, there are two main routes to achieve nuclear fusion.

One is the inertia constraint, which is what Chou Country adopts, achieving the first Q correction in human history.

Let controllable nuclear fusion change from an eternal fifty years to a real fifty years.

What is different from Chou Country is that both International and Daxia Country have adopted magnetic restraint from the beginning.

Magnetic confinement generally uses tokamak or stellarator devices.

A large group of high-temperature plasma is trapped in a powerful ring-shaped magnetic field, causing nuclear fusion to occur.

The use of nuclear fusion energy on earth requires that the ion temperature of the plasma reaches more than 100 million degrees Celsius under artificial control conditions.

What is the concept of 100 million degrees? The core temperature of the sun is approximately 15 million to 20 million degrees;

Tungsten, the most high-temperature-resistant metal material on earth, melts at more than 3,000 degrees. 100 million degrees, which is already 5 to 6 times higher than the core temperature of the sun.

Zhou Yi knew very well that, at least on Earth, there is no material that can directly wrap the 100-million-degree-high-temperature plasma.

But these problems were not difficult for those scientists in the past.

I thought of using a strong magnetic field to confine high-temperature nuclear fusion fuel.

Since the 1950s,

Scientists from Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries came one after another, and different technical routes such as rapid contraction, magnetic mirrors, and stellarators were ebbing and flowing.

It was not until the 1960s that the Tokamak program proposed by former Tsarist Russian scientists suddenly emerged.

The effect was amazing, and the focus of research in the international fusion community turned to tokamak.

This is the importance of Tokmak.

The CEPC is a super large toroidal magnetic field.

This is the reason why Zhou Yi strongly requested the construction of CEPC.

Not only will there be breakthroughs in high-energy physics, but CEPC can also be used in other directions.

As for the money for construction, Zhou Yi has already borne all the money.

Zhou Yi was discussing with Academician Feng and others in the office at the moment.

Academician Feng said:

“The plasma current of our new generation ‘artificial sun’ (HL-2M) exceeded 1 million amperes (1 megaampere) for the first time.”

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

“I heard it too, please continue.”

Academician Feng said:

“This means we can take the most important step on this basis and start the fire early.

To measure the level of nuclear fusion devices and nuclear fusion research, there are three main parameters: fuel ion temperature, plasma density and energy confinement time, all three of which are indispensable. “

Academician Li Jiangang, director of the Energy Research Institute of the National Science Center, said:

“The ‘Lawson Criterion’ has pointed out the three parameters that need to be improved to achieve nuclear fusion ignition, and achieving nuclear fusion ignition seems to have become an ‘open book’ exam.

Although the answer has been written down, the process of ‘solving the problem’ still requires continuous exploration. “

Most of the talents at the Energy Research Institute of the National Science Center have also moved with their families to Chongqing High Court.

Some of the talents left behind are just to pass on the news, or to use Fat Boy’s experimental equipment and instruments to conduct experiments.

Although the various equipment of the Chongqing High Court are better than theirs, there is still resentment due to the use of policies to poach them.

Especially in Hui Province, there is a lot of resentment.

The resentment in Shu Province is not that big yet, thinking about the Shu Yu family,

What you have in Yuzhou is equal to what I have in Shuzhou. It doesn’t seem like a loss if you think about it this way.

Zhouyi said:

“Equipment and other things can be moved here. How much did it cost originally? Now I will give you the original price.

CEPC will be repaired soon. We will strive to achieve Q correction within one year and successfully apply it within two years. “

Several people said:

“good.”

“Even if CEPC is not very helpful for controllable nuclear fusion, with your ready-made equipment, we can quickly start it.

Or just ask France to sell it to us. The core technology of ITER is in the hands of France, so buy it from them. “

After Zhou Yi thought for a while, he continued.

In theory, CEPC can be used to conduct controlled nuclear fusion, but it is only limited to theory.

I really don’t know if it will work.

So Zhou Yi prepared multiple plans.

If two years doesn’t work, then three or four years.

We have to achieve controllable nuclear fusion.

After the discussion, Zhou Yi was alone in the office.

Based on the income in the past one or two months,

It writes about many technical problems that need to be overcome in current controllable nuclear fusion.

(1) Research on reactor-level magnets and related power supply and control technologies;

(2) Steady-state combustion plasma (generation, maintenance and control) technology,

That is, research on non-inductive current drive technology, reactor-level high-power auxiliary heating technology, reactor-level plasma diagnosis technology, plasma configuration control technology, and feeding and ash removal technology;

(3) Preliminarily carry out high thermal load material testing;

(4) Research on cladding technology, neutron energy moderation and energy extraction, neutron shielding and environmental protection technology;

(5) Low activation structural material experiment (TBM), experimental research on tritium multiplication agent,

Tritium regeneration, tritium penetration prevention experimental research, tritium recovery and tritium purification technology research;

(6) Hot cell technology, research on remote control, operation, replacement and maintenance technology of reactor core components.

The six problems were also the problems of ITER in the past. Many of them have changed with the advent of artificial intelligence technology.

Breakthrough progress has been made in some aspects,

For example, the first point, part of the second point, the sixth point,

For the remaining technologies, we have to find other ways to break through.

Zhou Yi thought for a while, it was time to put the 20,000 points to use, but he didn’t know how many of the remaining problems could be solved.

However, the research on the residual problem of feeding and ash removal technology in the second question should not be expensive.

Zhou Yi silently said to the system:

“System, how many points are needed to redeem the feeding and ash removal technology.”

A cold voice sounded in Zhou Yi’s ears.

“Feeding and ash removal technology requires 3,000 points. Please ask the host if you want to redeem it.”

Three thousand points.

Zhou Yi took a breath of cold air.

It is worthy of the controllable nuclear fusion necessary for level 1 civilization.

A technology that is so subdivided requires 3,000 points, which is simply abnormal.

Former Tsarist Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashov roughly divided the civilizations of the universe into seven levels.

These seven levels are also generally recognized by academic circles.

The first level is planetary civilization.

This kind of civilization means that the energy value that a certain civilization can utilize for the planet it is on is approximately 10 to the 16th power of watts.

It has the ability to utilize all the energy of this planet, including the energy that reaches this planet.

For the earth, it is the sun and all the energy the earth can produce.

Michio Kaku, a famous physicist from the island country, believes that a first-level civilization should be able to control the weather, even control natural disasters, and build cities in the ocean.

The second-level civilization is called a stellar civilization, which means that all resources of the entire galaxy where the parent star is located can be used.

For example, the solar system in which the earth is located.

The third-level civilization refers to the galaxy civilization. At this time, the resources of the entire galaxy can be utilized.

Like the entire galaxy.

Level 4 civilization can also be called interstellar civilization. It can shuttle between different galaxies and master all the energy and resources of this universe.

When it reaches the fifth level civilization, it is called a dimensional civilization and can travel across dimensions.

Multidimensional space is no longer an obstacle to this civilization, and the survival of civilization has been completely guaranteed.

Exploring the rest of the universe may be their only goal.

The sixth-level cosmic civilization has a complete grasp of all the physical laws of the universe and can apply them freely and flexibly.

You can even break through dimensions and explore parallel worlds and other universes.

As for the seventh-level cosmic civilization, even astronomer Nikolai Kardashov did not give a specific explanation.

But the general statement is that there is a Creator;

A creator who masters the laws of any universe and formulates every law and operation rule of the universe.

Zhou Yi doesn’t think so. It’s enough to master the ultimate secret of mathematics and understand all the laws and origins of mathematics.

Perhaps the creator that Newton, Einstein and Mr. Yang talked about is essentially the operation of mathematical rules.

In different universes and different worlds, all physics, chemistry and other subjects will change, but only mathematics remains unchanged and is applicable to all universes and any parallel world.

Only by understanding the ultimate meaning of mathematics,

Only then can one travel through countless parallel universes and speculate on all the possibilities of everything.

Only in this way can we adapt to and even formulate the rules of all universes and dimensions, and use this as a weapon to attack civilizations lower than our own level.

Zhou Yi guessed that his system is most likely a product between the second-level civilization and the third-level civilization.

At most, there is a fourth-level civilization, and no more than a fifth-level civilization.

After thinking wildly for a long time, Zhou Yi made up his mind and said:

“Use 3,000 points to redeem feeding and ash removal technology.”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for spending 3,000 points and obtaining the electronic version of the paper on feeding and ash removal technology. It has been sent to the quantum notebook. Please check it.”

The cold voice of the system sounded, and Zhou Yi quickly checked how many points he had left.

17034 points.

There are 17,000 more.

Zhou Yi then checked out the technology he had acquired, and after he had enough, he could give a lecture.

As for the time of the lecture, it is not yet known.

For the next half month, Zhou Yi has been studying this technology. The paper alone has thousands of pages.

Involving all aspects of disciplines,

If the level of various basic subjects in Zhouyi were not low, it would be unimaginable to read it.

In early November, Zhou Yi once again held a technical lecture on controllable nuclear fusion.

The last lecture only solved the first and second part of the question, and the sixth question.

Today is to completely solve the second problem.

The required equipment was also sent to Chongqing High Court one after another, and several addresses were selected for the required experimental environment.

Among them, there is one address relatively close to Chongqing High Court.

Close to CEPC,

CEPC can be used to bring particles up to the speed of light.

Smaller particle accelerators are used in a variety of applications, including particle-targeted therapy for oncology, radioisotope production for medical diagnostics,

Ion implanters used to make semiconductors and accelerator mass spectrometers used to measure rare isotopes such as radioactive carbon.

With future CEPC experiments, there will be huge breakthroughs in medicine.

Cancer may not be a terminal disease that kills humans.

Artificial intelligence controls particles for targeted therapy, which can completely eradicate cancer.

This lecture took a lot of time and did not have the foundation of previous technical accumulation.

Zhouyi lectured for a week, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Every detail and every direction is understandable to scholars and professors engaged in this field.

From its first flight to now, the sixth-generation fighter test aircraft Xantian-1 has

The collection of various data has also been improved.

After the lecture on the Book of Changes was completed, Academician Ma took some academicians from the Air Force Institute to find the Book of Changes.

“Professor Zhou, the data from the Xuantian-1 test machine have been almost collected, and now we are making improvements.

It will take about half a month to a month to complete the improvement. Do we need to report the progress to the superior? “

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:

“Let me report first. This result is not only needed by the above, but also urgently needed by other countries in the alliance.

We have already obtained chip core technology, high-precision machine tool technology and heavy-duty helicopter engine technology, etc.

If I don’t give it now, I’m afraid something will happen. “

Academician Ma said:

“Okay, I really didn’t expect that one day they would beg us.”

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

“There will be times when they beg us later. Now is just the beginning. In the future, we will completely widen the gap with them.”

Academician Ma was very excited about the pie painted by Zhou Yi.

“Then I will report it truthfully?”

Academician Ma said excitedly.

Zhouyi said:

“kindness.”

After the data collection is completed, improvements should be made where necessary.

Strive to achieve the most perfect sixth-generation fighter aircraft,

To avoid various problems and unnecessary losses after mass production in the future.

Moreover, the cost of the sixth-generation fighter sky survey series is also very high, reaching 1.5 billion, which is almost more than 200 million US dollars.

The J-20 is only 100-200 million US dollars.

In contrast, the cost is high.

Need to further reduce costs.

The data collected can be used for research in these directions.

The Air Force Station was faster than Zhou Yi thought, and all the data was processed clearly by the end of November.

The high funding for the sixth-generation fighter “Shantian” has been reduced from 1.5 billion to 1.2 billion.

Saved RMB 300 million in costs.

In Zhou Yi’s office, Academician Ma has presented all the core information to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi took two days to read it carefully and found that it was no longer possible to reduce costs, so he decided to submit the final version to the country.

In the office, Zhou Yi said to Academician Ma:

“Submit this report to the higher-ups. No, the previous information will also be submitted to the higher-ups, the 1.5 billion one. As for which report to send to foreign countries, let the higher-ups decide for themselves. We don’t worry about it.”

Academician Ma glanced at the Book of Changes. Is there any need to choose?

But this is ZZ’s problem, not something they should worry about, he said:

“Okay. There are currently three production lines, one for our Yu Gaoyuan, one for Shufei, and one for Shenyang. All three lines can produce at full capacity.”

Zhouyi said:

“Okay, just report it like this. Just let me know if you have any news later. I’m busy with various things related to controllable nuclear fusion.”

“good.”

After Academician Ma finished speaking, he hurriedly left.

Zhou Yi should have gone to Beijing to report in person, but as the deputy chief scientist, it was reasonable for Academician Ma to represent Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi saved a few days to make controllable nuclear fusion more exciting.
