Go back to Yangcheng, arrange Wei Hong’s affairs and arrange Rupert into the laboratory.

This old guy deserves to be a controlled nuclear fusion that he has been studying for his whole life. He has become completely familiar with this demonstration reactor in less than three days.

After taking over the controlled nuclear fusion from Lu Yi, he wandered around the construction site like an old man every day, helping with problems and watching the world's number one nuclear fusion demonstration reactor slowly improve and grow.

The acceleration of the demonstration pile every day is undoubtedly a great spiritual encouragement and comfort for Rupert, who devotes most of his life to the research of controlled nuclear fusion and has been separated for this.

After all, most of the technologies on tomorrow's demonstration pile were inherited and improved by Lu Yi from WEGA. Rupert can clearly see the shadows of WEGA and spiral stone 7-X on it.

"Lu, the construction of the demonstration reactor will be completed the day after tomorrow, but there is one problem I think you should pay attention to it."

Seeing that the demonstration pile was about to be completed, but less than three days before the construction was completed, Rupert suddenly took a copy of data and looked at Lu Yi with a solemn expression.

“What’s the problem?”

Lu Yi is analyzing a spatial data that Zhang Qing was going to Baidao City to fight Qiufeng. Looking at Rupert, who was obviously at several levels higher than that in Yangcheng, he was a little strange. What was the problem that made this old guy so serious.

During this period, Rupert replaced Lu Yi's previous events. Lu Yi really took off his body in controlled nuclear fusion and began to devote more time and energy to aerospace projects and space gravitational wave projects.

Of course, more energy is still invested in the space gravitational wave project. The aerospace project is led by Wei Hong, the monstrous madman. After Lu Yi supplemented the manpower and financial resources, he was like he was cheating. Lu Yi didn't have to worry or pay too much attention. The data model of the Orion engine was even completed and given to him two days ago.

“Thermal pollution problem.”

Rupert said seriously: "The earth's power withstands is not without an upper limit. When controllable nuclear fusion breaks through, it can be expected that the power of the entire human society will increase leaps and bounds.

But we need to pay attention to one problem. The huge energy consumption will eventually be discharged into the environment in a heat situation, which will lead to an overall increase in the temperature of the earth's ambient temperature. This is a very serious environmental problem and may even lead to the collapse of the earth's ecology."

"Will this be too worrying? It's okay if the sun supplies energy to the earth so much. Our human activities release energy without even one thousandth of the energy released by the sun on the earth. This should not have much impact.

After all, it has been so many years since our industrial revolution, and the overall temperature data of the earth has risen by less than 0.5 degrees."

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what Rupert described.

"No, Lu, this is not an unfair worry, this is the data strictly analyzed by mathematical models."

Rupert handed over the data in his hand to Lu Yi and said seriously: "We cannot use the energy released by the sun to the earth as a basis, nor can we use the situation where the overall temperature of the earth has risen by less than 0.5 degrees in the century of the industrial revolution to reject the environmental risks brought about by controlled nuclear fusion, which brings about the increase in the power leap in human society.

This is a fallacy! It should not be the thinking that a scientist should have!

The energy released by the sun on the earth is thousands of times that of human activities, and even the earth's geothermal energy is greater than that released by humans.

However, geothermal heat, solar energy supply, and even the energy released by us humans before are in a balanced state with the earth's own endurance and digestion, so the earth does not have much impact.

But with the increase in the energy released by our human social activities, this energy balance of the earth is gradually being broken.

More importantly, the excessive release of energy is almost an irreversible and unrepairable result.

Lu You are currently studying aerospace projects. I believe you have a certain understanding of the cooling difficulties of spacecraft and space stations. This is the biggest problem that has plagued the expansion and development of space stations.

Heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation.

Although the temperature in space is very low, don’t forget that the vacuum does not have heat conduction and thermal convection medium. Vacuum cannot dissipate heat. Wrap the kettle with a quilt to keep it warm, it will never be as good as pouring hot water into the thermos bottle and keep it cool.

From this perspective, our earth is actually a large space station, and it is difficult to dissipate the heat and energy inside, and it will only accumulate internally.

The higher the energy we release exceeds the equilibrium of the earth, the faster the energy accumulated inside the earth will be. The situation shown is that the overall temperature of the earth is getting higher and higher, and the final result will lead to the collapse of the ecological environment.

If you don’t pay attention to this problem in advance, it will be too late when the trend is revealed!”

"The reduction of carbon emissions and greenhouse effects above is not enough to compensate for the power increase brought by controlled nuclear fusion applications. Is this data determined by environmental experts?"

After hearing Rupert's serious reminder, Lu Yi took a deep breath when he checked the data in his hand, and pointed to the numerical value on the data Rupert took.

"Lu, this data is accurate."

Rupert shook his head: "I asked scientists related to the atmospheric environment. They said that although the carbon emissions from human activities have caused an increase in the greenhouse effect, in fact, the greenhouse effect caused by carbon emissions accounts for a very small proportion of the overall greenhouse effect on the earth.

What causes the greatest greenhouse effect is not carbon dioxide, a well-known greenhouse effect gas, but water!

Water vapor evaporates to form clouds and mists in the atmosphere, which block most of the long-wave radiation radiated from the surface to outer space, leaving the earth's energy inside."

"The outer space lays reflectors to reduce the sunlight that shines on the earth... No, the gravitational balance problem at the Lagrangian point exists unless each reflector is equipped with a space engine, but the difficulty of construction and maintenance of the engineering is difficult to solve.

Use the principle of air conditioning to radiate into outer space... a few handfuls to emit a lot of hair!"

Realizing that the problem was serious, Lu Yi grabbed his hair with some worry. Seeing the scattered hair in his hand, he asked Rupert with a irritable mood: "In your expectation, if the controlled nuclear fusion breaks through and applies, how much will the total power of human civilization increase?"

As Rupert said, the earth is a super-large space station, and energy will only accumulate inside. You want to discharge heat into the outside space, and the vacuum environment refuses to receive it.

This means that the principle of air conditioning on the earth and that fan blowing can't work.

Arrange reflectors in outer space to reduce the energy power of the sun to the earth. Various gravitational problems will also make this project extremely difficult. It is impossible to achieve without a century of effort, and it also requires a lot of maintenance costs every year.

"I have counted the data on the changes in human activity power from the Industrial Revolution to the present. Every time the energy technology advances, the total power of human society will increase rapidly in a very short time, and then reach the power limit of current energy technology in several years."

Rupert shook his head with a wry smile: "This is a human nature problem, which cannot be stopped by science and technology.

So I think that once controllable nuclear fusion breaks through and applies, the total power of human society will be conservatively increased by more than 20 times, and if it is more than 100 times possible."

“20 times!”

Lu Yi's eyes widened. He might be happy if he had heard 20 times before today.

Because this means that after the controllable nuclear fusion, human production level, human life, etc. have taken a qualitative leap.

But now, these 20 times are simply a bomb. A bomb that will bury the entire human race may not have time to get rid of the constraints of the planet and go to the starry sky. Human beings will become extinct due to the collapse of the earth's ecological environment.

"Let's go! Let's build a mathematical model based on 20 times and analyze how much time we can give us if the total power of human society is increased by 20 times."

Lu Yi shouted to Rupert with some fear, and said as he took out his cell phone to make a phone call while walking towards the supercomputer area of ​​the laboratory.
Chapter completed!
