For the next three days, Liu Xi had to do his best to come up with a plan.
This sounded like a fantasy, because for a major experimental project, every experiment had to go through many arguments before it could be launched. After it was launched, it had to go through countless screenings and rigorous calculations before the best one could be selected.
It definitely wasn't something that could be done immediately after a sudden inspiration. It was not something that could be done overnight to coordinate the division of labor and adjust all the supporting facilities.
In fact, the experiment mission of the 171 Institute had been set a year ago. However, the cooldown period for each experiment was very long. They could only queue up according to the plan before it was their turn.
However, in the eyes of others, Liu Xi's experiment plan was similar to a student's research paper. It was a systematic application of what he had learned in university. It was convenient for everyone to test his learning results and check for gaps.
It was still far from being a real hands-on project!
However, Liu Xi already had a clear idea in his mind. What he lacked now was to sort it out.
The entire nuclear fusion device was applied to dozens of disciplines. Therefore, to draw up an experimental plan, it was not enough to just discuss nuclear fusion. It was necessary to coordinate these dozens of knowledge areas.
In fact, if they were only discussing nuclear fusion theory, humans 'theoretical research was already very deep. However, if the other basic disciplines were not improved, then no matter how high-end the theory was, it would not be applied.
For example, the higher-level nuclear fusion that was proven now had a starting temperature of more than a billion degrees! This was almost impossible to achieve now.
The current breakthroughs in nuclear fusion were often not due to breakthroughs in nuclear fusion itself, but breakthroughs in other disciplines.
For example, if they could develop materials that could withstand ultra-high temperatures, it would definitely increase the progress of nuclear fusion.
The nuclear fusion that was being tested was the simplest tritium fusion, which was made up of hydrogen. This kind of nuclear fusion was also the nuclear fusion method of stars like the Sun, and it was referred to as " burning hydrogen."
The material for nuclear fusion, helium, contained a large amount of seawater. He only needed to obtain heavy water through the purification method and then vaporize the heavy water to obtain helium.
The energy released from the nuclear fusion of only one liter of seawater was equivalent to the energy released from the combustion of 300 liters of gasoline. In other words, the potential energy of the helium atom in every cubic kilometer of seawater was equivalent to burning 1.36 trillion barrels of crude oil, which was about the total oil reserves on Earth.
It was estimated that there were 45 trillion tons of helium in the world's seawater, which could provide the world with energy for 10 billion years!
In the true sense, it was inexhaustible!
However, tritium, the other form of hydrogen, had a half-life of only 12 years. It was almost non-existent in nature and could only be artificially produced!
This element was one of the most expensive things on Earth. One gram of tritium was worth more than two million yuan!
Moreover, a large amount of neutrons would be emitted from the tritium fusion, which would result in a large loss of energy.
Nuclear fusion technology was still not mature, so using tritium to generate electricity was not worth it.
Therefore, Liu Xi's goal was not the first generation of nuclear fusion, but another more efficient and clean element.
Helium-3 was an indispensable raw material for the second and third generation of nuclear fusion.
This element, in one place, contained millions of tons-
The moon.
In the field of controllable nuclear fusion, Liu Xi's ultimate goal was to mine lunar soil and achieve the second or even third generation of controllable nuclear fusion.
However, there was an old saying in China-put on socks before shoes, be a grandson before being a grandfather.
If Liu Xi couldn't achieve impressive results in the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion, then how could he achieve a higher level of controllable nuclear fusion?
His plan required the support of the entire country!
