The artificial sun project is actually a controlled nuclear fusion project. The principle of the sun is nuclear fusion. It uses the isotope deuterium and the huge transformation of tritium of hydrogen atoms to react to a helium atom, and releases a large amount of energy in the process.

Controllable nuclear fusion has always been the cutting-edge technology that humans have always wanted to obtain after mastering nuclear technology.

Since the Soviet Union built the first magnetic constraining device composed of a closed magnetic field and named Tokamak in 1954, countries around the world have begun to increase their investment in this regard.

In the civil field, a 1,000-megawatt nuclear fusion power station uses the electricity generated by sea water, which is enough for humans to use for 10 billion years!

In the military field, once controlled nuclear fusion is achieved, the detonation of hydrogen bombs will not require the atomic bomb ignition of nuclear fission, and the situation of war will be effectively changed.

At the same time, in war, unscrupulous use of nuclear weapons is no longer a taboo. The reason why humans prohibited the use of this weapon with the most powerful and lethality created in human history after successfully researching the atomic bomb is that after the atomic bomb explodes, it will not only release huge energy to destroy everything around it, but also produce high-level nuclear radiation that lasts hundreds of years. In areas with nuclear radiation, humans cannot survive at all.

If you only use hydrogen bombs that are caused by nuclear fusion, you do not need to consider the impact on the environment irrecoverable.

In military terms, whoever masters this technology first will have greater deterrence.

In the civil field, China's rapid development has become increasingly demanding energy, and the large-scale expansion of cities has become even greater.

Fortunately, China's coal production is huge, and a large number of thermal power plants are built to prevent the energy crisis. However, thermal power production will produce a large amount of greenhouse gases. While China's economy is developing rapidly, the environment is also deteriorating.

In the future, China will pay a very huge price for environmental governance.

Coal, oil, natural gas, etc. are non-renewable resources and are not inexhaustible. Once the energy crisis cannot be resolved, the war will break out again.

The Americans launched the eight-year Iraq War because of oil!

China's population is several times that of the United States. Once it develops to the level of the United States' economic development, its demand for energy will far exceed that of the United States.

Therefore, finding a new and cheap clean energy is something that China must solve.

Efficient and clean nuclear energy use will be the main source of energy for China and even the entire human race in the future.

Once you master this technology, you will have a greater say.

The Ninth Academy's investment in this area is not only a military demand, but only a small part of it, but the bigger aspect is to cope with the energy crisis after the global oil depletion decades later.

The sooner the technology is, the more reliable the technology in this area will be. After all, the technology of controlled nuclear fusion is too difficult and the technical requirements are too high.

The project of the Ninth Academy has the top nuclear technology experts in China and also experts from relevant aspects from the Soviet Union. All the top technologies of the Ninth Academy have been used.

The entire project has invested more than 800 million soft girl coins!

"Director Liu, are you here?" The person in charge of this project is Tian Yu, deputy director of the Institute of Nuclear Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He knew Liu Yijiu's status in this base, even though Liu Yijiu had not appeared for much time.

"It's okay, you guys are busy with yours, we just come and take a look." Liu Yijiu said it was a look, and Tian Yu, who knew how to do it, would naturally not let him see it by himself.

"It has reached the final debugging stage. After multiple computer simulations, theoretically, our model can obtain repetitive discharge of steady-state high-constrained mode plasma for more than 100 seconds. The theoretical data needs to be demonstrated after the reactor is built before continuing to modify..." Tian Yu introduced the situation.

"How much energy can it be generated?" Liu Yijiu didn't care how long the nuclear fusion reaction could be controlled, but wanted to know how much energy could be generated.

According to the original plan, the laser cannon of the Ninth Hospital used ordinary reactors to gradually gather energy, and the speed was too slow. At the same time, there were too many uncontrollable factors in this process.

Although the controllable time of nuclear fusion reaction using magnetic constraints is short, it can release sufficient electricity in a short time range. Then, using the laser emission device, it can form a high-energy laser beam with huge energy.

"The maximum power can reach 500,000 kilowatts, the maximum current can reach 500 kilowatts, and the sum of the temperatures of the central electronic particles can reach 100 million degrees Celsius... There is no problem for the launch of laser cannons. However, Director Liu, there is a problem now. If you use such a device to generate electricity, the power generated in this instant..." Tian Yu said with a wry smile.

It is too luxurious to use such an advanced reactor to provide energy for less commonly used laser cannons...

"Those problems will be solved gradually in the future." Liu Yijiu will not interfere in these matters now.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Once the giant ship of scientific research is started, as long as there is no interference from above, no stopping or forcibly changing the research direction, the huge inertia will slowly make the technology break through.

When various projects were just launched, Liu Yijiu could give some advice on the advanced knowledge that had decades more than this era.

Now that the various projects are progressing very quickly, Director Liu has not entered into in-depth research, and the details of the project and the technology are specious, so naturally he cannot fire the empty gun.

The fusion reactor of the Ninth Academy is actually a fission-fusion reactor under the control of Z-pinning. It is like the process of detonating a hydrogen bomb. At the beginning of the reaction, it is necessary to start with a more mature nuclear fission.

That is, this is not an EAST project in the full sense.

It is absolutely impossible to use a large amount of advanced technology and high capital investment if it is relied on national fiscal appropriations.

As the country's economy becomes stronger, officials of the Ministry of Finance are still holding their pockets tightly. Like most Chinese, they save money when they have money, increase foreign exchange reserves, purchase foreign debts from the United States and other countries, rather than increasing budgets for scientific research and military expenditures.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Yijiu had to increase his investment in this regard.

Wang Shunyi and Wang inspected the area where the reactor is located. The reactor is composed of two parts, part of which is a fusion reaction chamber in the middle core area. A circular jar with a diameter of 5 meters is not empty inside, but a special cable that lasts dozens of kilometers. There are many parts that ordinary people don’t know at all. The dense cables connect these parts together.

Unlike ordinary nuclear reactors, the middle is not a core rod for textile nuclear fuel, but a very small reaction chamber! Around this reaction chamber is a high-temperature and high-pressure-resistant super reaction chamber made of various composite materials, and is surrounded by superconductors made of various superconducting materials.

Around the reactor, six trapezoidal devices were covered with dense cables and some small silver-white parts.

Six devices are evenly distributed around the intermediate circular reaction device.

"Eighty million yuan of funds will eventually be built into such a thing. If the officials of the Ministry of Finance know about it, they will definitely scold us for being a loser!" Wang Shunyi looked at the reactor and said to Liu Yijiu with a smile.

Officials from the Ministry of Finance were eager for all departments to not ask them for funds, but instead offered them the funds.

They do not care about the future prospects of the project or how important it is to national defense.

Just like the Ministry of Aerospace Industry asked the Ministry of Finance officials for a budget, the Chang'e project of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry's lunar landing plan is a decades-long project. The Ministry of Aerospace has been talking about it, but a section chief of the Ministry of Finance asked them what they were doing on the moon. There was no land on the moon and no resources worth mining. Even if it was worth mining, it would cost old money to transport it back.

The bigwigs of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry were so angry that they vomited blood, but they had to explain to them the significance of landing on the moon. In particular, the related technologies were not only used by the aerospace industry. All the good things were said, plus the government's project establishment and the senior management's attention, they finally received funds, and the funds were also greatly reduced.

This is not to say that the officials of the Ministry of Finance are short-sighted, but the country has too big a stall, too little funding, and too much money is needed. In addition, the government is afraid of being poor, so it has to save money just in case.

It is not yet time that Liu Yijiu's original world was in the early 21st century. The government had money and the various departments had sufficient fiscal budgets. Every year, the budget was not used up by the end of the year, so they started to spend money suddenly and wasted a lot of money.

The development speed is fast and the supporting facilities in all aspects must be improved, so the government's investment in all aspects will become greater.

If the Ninth Hospital had not finally undertaken a large part of the funding, the progress in aerospace would not have been so fast.

Now Wang Shunyi talks about this matter clearly as a self-deprecating person.

"You can't say that. Although this is just a project, it covers many technical fields in the two major fields of military and civilian use. Not to mention anything else, just the 86 key technologies and new technologies used in this reactor not only fills many gaps in China, but also has a great promotion effect on various related technical fields! How to estimate the invisible influence?" Liu Yijiu said seriously.

I knew that Wang Shunyi was joking.

"Indeed, however, many officials do not understand these things. They only look at the results they can see, only care about how much money they spend and what they get." Wang Shunyi sighed, "I don't know how much the government will invest in our projects after we spend all the funds."

"It's definitely not too much. But that's the government's business, and it has nothing to do with us. So far, what we can do is almost the same. The foundation of the country has been established. If it weren't for our Ninth Hospital, the country's development in all aspects would have to spend at least ten or twenty years, and would have to pay a lot of tuition and take a lot of detours..." Liu Yijiu knew that Wang Shunyi was worried about the future of the Ninth Hospital.

This management model of the Ninth Hospital destined that the Ninth Hospital would not always exist.

The special period of history has made many units successful. After the special period, these units cannot be maintained as special.

"Besides, hasn't the military re-engineered the No. 0 Project? Our era is over, and a new era will naturally begin. The military's control may be more appropriate than our control. A small group or a small unit cannot support the entire country's industrial science and technology system. Our current bottleneck is because we are just one unit and cannot coordinate the entire military industrial system or even the entire country's industrial system!" Liu Yijiu thought more profoundly about these things.

Wang Shunyi's ideas represent not him personally, but all members of the management committees of the entire Ninth Court.

Everyone in the Management Committee of the Ninth Academy knows that the Ninth Academy era has entered its last stage.

They are old and have little energy, and they are unwilling to let the good situation they have formed after working hard for them all their lives disappear.

"The results we have made are not like the base of the Ninth Academy, but the comprehensive development of the domestic industrial technology system. With the coordination of the country, it will definitely be more perfect than us, but it will take time and a long time. However, we rely on the establishment of one country after another but not urgent but requires huge projects to drive the development of our related units and systems. At present, the scale of our domestic industrial manufacturing is still very small, but who dares to say that our top manufacturing capabilities are not good? And these are our achievements!"

Liu Yijiu took this opportunity to persuade Wang Shunyi obscurely.

He hopes that Wang Shunyi can persuade other members of the management committee that everyone is so old that after handing over the stalls in the Ninth Courtyard, they can enjoy a happy life in their later years.

It’s really idle, and you can go to various scientific research institutes or university campuses in China to make use of your remaining energy for the motherland to cultivate a new generation of talents.

Especially for the Jiuyi College, this is a completely academic practical university. The scale of enrollment of domestic universities has expanded, but the admission scale of Jiuyi University has not expanded due to its particularity and expectations for students to become successful, and the threshold for students entering Jiuyi University is higher.

Unlike other schools in China, students at Jiuyi University have been divided up by major scientific research institutes and military-industrial units before they graduated.

If the conditions are not excellent enough, entering various technical state-owned enterprises and private units can also support a world.

These members of the management committees of the Ninth Academy have no significant reputation outside. Few people publish papers, and few people's names appear in the media outside.

But no one can underestimate them.

Many scientific research institutes have wanted to dig the corners of the Ninth Institute before. If they were replaced by other units, they would be digging up and were broken.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'm here." The two of them walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they reached the laser cannon position on the top of the mountain that was about to end.

On the top of the mountain at the Jiuyuan headquarters, there is a newly built white building.

This white building uses special building materials, the walls are very thick and the internal space is large enough. Some monitoring equipment is being installed in the internal space.

All the computers here are specially produced by relevant units of the Ninth Hospital.

The building is the base of the laser cannon and the control room of the laser cannon.

The aiming device here is not the aiming method of ordinary guns. After all, laser guns belong to the accuracy range of fixed points, especially the diameter of the emitted laser beam is less than 20 mm, and the energy escapes tens of millions of meters away, and light scattering will not cause too large diameters.

If the light is too dispersed, the energy will be dispersed and the lethality will drop sharply.

At the top of the building, there are various complex parts composed of many optical equipment. The diameter of the middle bottom is more than one meter, the diameter of the top is less than ten centimeters, and the length is about eight meters. It is a conical gun barrel-shaped object. There are also many complex components inside the gun barrel, which not only have optical components, but also have dense lines.

When Liu Yijiu and Wang Shunyi arrived, the gun barrel on the top had been installed and many technicians were debugging.

The entire laser emission system is very complex, consisting of tens of thousands of parts. Some of these parts need to be welded together, while the welding of the two parts needs to be aligned within the micron level. At the same time, welding cannot appear, otherwise the parts will be scrapped.

This is a new technology that is not available in the world, but it is not only used on laser cannons. This technology has been used during the construction of the fission-fusion hybrid reactor inside the mountain. For the technicians of the Ninth Academy, this technology is difficult enough, but it is only difficult and not impossible to process it.

After tens of thousands of parts are assembled, the final error range will not exceed 0.03 mm, otherwise it will have a great impact on the final emitted laser beam.

The shooting accuracy of the laser cannon and the energy contained in the energy beam are the keys to determine whether the laser cannon is successful.

You can't fire a laser here 20 mm, and the diameter becomes several meters if it is dozens of kilometers away. Such a laser cannon has no power at all.

What's more, the main function of this laser cannon is to use satellites on the ground. In the future, it will become a key weapon for domestic prevention of long-range strategic intercontinental missiles. When the enemy launches intercontinental missiles, it must change the orbit in outer space above China, and this is the best time to destroy.

The speed of any air defense missile cannot be faster than that of a laser.

As long as the intercontinental missile orbit was calculated, it would take only a few seconds to destroy and completely build a super defense system.

This is the most critical part of China's strategic missile defense system.

Once the technology on the ground is formed, it will eventually be used on the International Space Station.

Of course, this is just Liu Yijiu's idea. Whether the country will adopt it in the end, Liu Yijiu has no way to change anything.
Chapter completed!
