A week after the last experiment, Institute 171 held a meeting.
At this time, due to the merger of the two project teams, the number of people in Institute 171 had reached more than 60, filling the conference room!
The researchers from the artificial sun project team looked curiously at Liu Xi, who was sitting at the head of the table. They really didn't expect that the entire 171 Institute would respect a young man so much, even addressing him as sir.
However, when they found out that this young man had single-handedly advanced controllable nuclear fusion for an unprecedented 10,000 seconds, everyone was convinced.
To be able to achieve such results, not to mention calling him "Sir", he was completely qualified to hug his thigh and call him "Dad".
The formulas and theories written by Liu Xi were invaluable to all scientific researchers!
What was even more valuable was that he gave everyone involved in controllable nuclear fusion research the hope of seeing controllable nuclear fusion put into practical use in their lifetime.
This was enough to leave a mark in history!
Since ancient times in Xia Country, who didn't yearn to leave their names in history? But how many people can get what they want?
This was a chance, a chance to glorify the sect and leave its name in history!
Therefore, all the researchers who came to Institute 171 were closely united around Liu Xi and firmly supported Liu Xi's plan.
At this moment, Liu Xi had called for a meeting to discuss what to do next.
And how to spend all five trillion?
Everyone started a heated discussion. Of course, the discussion was limited to the former. As for the latter, everyone was helpless.
It couldn't be helped. It was all because he had given too much money.
Liu Xi listened to everyone's debate and only lowered his head to record something. He did not participate in the discussion from the beginning to the end.
Finally, Wu Wenhua sorted out the results of everyone's debate and asked Liu Xi for instructions.
"Mr. Xi, this is our immature idea for the next stage of the experiment. If there is any deficiency, please correct me.
First of all, we need to modify the experimental equipment. We have achieved a stable nuclear fusion reaction for a long time, but the power consumption for heating is too large, and the power produced is far from enough. We have to solve this problem first.”
Hearing this, Liu Xi nodded, indicating that they should continue.
" Secondly, if we can achieve stable and efficient nuclear fusion energy production, then we can try to build a large experimental reactor outside to simulate the real production situation as much as possible.”
" Finally, if the experimental reactor goes smoothly, we can further improve the configuration and vigorously develop controllable nuclear fusion. A complete nuclear fusion power station is enough to replace a hundred thermal power stations and save a lot of energy!”
After saying that, all the researchers looked at Liu Xi with bright eyes, waiting for his instructions.
Liu Xi's fingers gently tapped on the table and said,"
"This plan is very good. We can build a complete nuclear fusion power station within a year.
But…"
When everyone heard that, their hearts immediately rose to their throats. They knew the main point!
Liu Xi slowly sighed and said,"
"But these plans are all based on the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion.”
Wu Wenhua nodded and said,
"Although the nuclear fusion reaction has many shortcomings, the raw materials are easier to obtain. It is our only choice now. We can first develop the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion, and then develop more advanced nuclear fusion after we enter the interstellar civilization.”
Liu Xi shook his head and said,"
"It's a good idea, but this generation of controllable nuclear fusion is a dead end.”
Seeing the shock in the eyes of many researchers, Liu Xi continued,"
"The first generation of controllable nuclear fusion has many shortcomings. The biggest drawback is that a large number of neutrons will dissipate during the reaction, so it can't be used directly to generate electricity. Therefore, we can only use this generation of nuclear fusion to absorb heat and convert it into electricity. The essence is still boiling water.
Ever since the steam era, humans had always used boiling water as their energy source. However, after entering controllable nuclear fusion, this trick was no longer effective. Because we need to heat it up to hundreds of millions of degrees!”
Liu Xi threw a piece of paper to the middle of the conference table and said,"
"Everyone can try to calculate this formula with the parameters and see what the result is.”
All the researchers 'eyes quickly focused on the paper. At the same time, their brains began to work.
Those who were good at mental arithmetic had already calculated the results quickly!
Wu Wenhua said in a daze,
"How could it be? The ideal efficiency of energy production was less than 10%?”
The other researchers smiled bitterly and sighed.
"So the application of controllable nuclear fusion is not as good as a primitive thermal power station?”
"Is there any point in developing controllable nuclear fusion?”
"Did our efforts go to waste?”
"Are humans destined to be trapped on Earth and quietly walk towards extinction?”
Everyone was lost and pessimistic.
However, Liu Xi immediately threw out a document and said,
"This is the proposal that I've drawn up over the past few days. Their efforts would not be in vain. The future of Xia country was the sea of stars!”
He pointed at the title of the proposal and said word by word,"
"We're going to mine the moon now!”
