Chapter 391 Ambition
And they have promised investors that they will complete the thirty-minute commitment before 2020.
Germany is known for its rigor, and the data they publish are likely to be the time they feel they can achieve. At present, the international community cannot give them much experience to learn from in this area.
In this area, the domestic situation has lagged behind for quite some time, but Wu Tong is still confident in herself. She feels that if she is given some time, she should be able to close the gap.
Since Germany has such ambition, then her goal should be to be earlier and longer than the other party! Wu Tong secretly set a big goal for herself. Only with a goal can there be motivation, and only with motivation can there be a direction for effort and output!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Once a big goal is set, we should start from the progress of each step and improve the overall device.
Controlled nuclear fusion is a large project that covers all aspects, including technical difficulties ranging from plasma physics to material research and even information technology research... This is an extremely large project, and Wu Tong planned it carefully and determined the pace at which they would gradually overcome it.
She currently has two major material problems that need to be solved. The first is superconducting materials, materials that are infinitely close to room temperature, or can be superconducting at room temperature, and superconducting materials that are simple to install and do not require special setting conditions to form superconducting coils that provide a huge magnetic field to confine the elusive plasma.
The second item is undoubtedly the reactor wall, that is, the first wall material. No matter how much the plasma is constrained, there will always be a small amount that cannot be constrained, which will bring neutron impact to the first wall. This requires that the material of the first wall must withstand the light and heat of the fusion reaction starting at hundreds of millions of temperatures, as well as the plasma impact that blocks the escape of the magnetic field. This requires them to have a material that is extremely resistant to high temperatures and can withstand neutron penetration.
To be frank, Wu Tong is quite familiar with high temperature resistant materials. After all, Wu Tong has accumulated rich experience in heat resistant materials for fighter jets and missiles. It can be said that Wu Tong is one of the best in the world in high temperature resistant materials. Wu Tong is quite confident in the development of materials in this sector.
Both of these are material issues that must be overcome.
Materials that exhibit superconductivity under certain conditions are called superconducting materials. Superconducting materials are a hot field in physics, and due to their important application value, five Nobel Prizes are related to them.
Depending on the material's response to superconductivity, it can be divided into Type I superconductors and Type II superconductors.
According to the critical temperature, they can be divided into high-temperature superconductors and low-temperature superconductors. High-temperature superconductors usually refer to superconductors with a critical temperature higher than the temperature of liquid nitrogen (greater than 77K), while low-temperature superconductors usually refer to superconductors with a critical temperature lower than the temperature of liquid nitrogen (less than 77K).
According to the type of material, it can be divided into elemental superconductors (such as lead and mercury), alloy superconductors (such as niobium titanium alloy), oxide superconductors (such as yttrium barium copper oxide), and organic superconductors (such as carbon nanotubes).
In recent years, organic superconductors have become a world-class hot research topic, based on the fact that traditional element and alloy superconductors have been unable to break through the conditions. The research on the superconductivity of graphene materials has become a very promising research topic with the gradual rise of graphene.
Wu Tong has recently focused on information in this area and has seen that as early as 2007, some scientific researchers in this field published a paper on "Bipolar Supercurrent in Graphene" in "Nature". Wu Tong has consulted the publisher's literature and past information and found that this research group has been continuously conducting research and development on this topic. They are conducting research on the superconducting properties of graphene materials under low temperature conditions.
This is a relatively novel research idea, which has opened up the development and research of organic superconductors and the superconducting properties of carbon nanotubes, which have begun to become the focus of researchers in this field.
Research on the superconducting properties of carbon nanomaterials. Wu Tong wrote down the title on a piece of draft paper. This is a good research and development idea. Wu Tong began to collect information in this area with great interest and carried out research and development.
In fact, the current hot research direction of superconductivity in China is still mainly traditional superconductors, mostly elemental superconductors, oxide superconductors, and alloys. In the field of organic superconductivity, there is a blank, and Wu Tong has no way to collect a lot of data. But this does not make it difficult for Wu Tong. It is very simple. If there are no conditions, then create them.
Lu Xun once said, there is no road in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road! The predecessors did not leave enough foundation for her to stand on the shoulders of the predecessors and jump higher. Then, it is up to her to be the pioneer, to cross the river by feeling the stones, to accumulate experience for future generations and lay the foundation.
Designing different simulation experiments and screening the correct direction, Wu Tong could actually simulate and deduce many experiments in the deduction space. However, this would consume too much energy and the power of the Enlightenment Stele. Secondly, Wu Tong wanted to leave enough experimental data. Therefore, Wu Tong chose to design the experiment, which was a little more troublesome, and conduct it in the laboratory of the research institute.
Third, Wu Tong actually didn't want to rely too much on the deduction space if she had the conditions. It wasn't that she was worried that one day she would lose the enlightenment stone tablet. It was that everything in the deduction space was based on the perfect state in Wu Tong's cognition, and it was done with a wave of her hand, but in reality, she could actually master more.
You know, many major achievements often come from accidental operations. The deduction space is likely to block the occurrence of such accidental miracles.
Repeating the research and development experiments on organic superconductors in the literature and top academic journals, designing experimental models and experimental processes step by step, trying step by step, accumulating various types of data step by step, and screening and improving step by step, Wu Tong's accumulation in the field of organic superconductors has also grown like a snowball with the passage of time.
When she was conducting research and development, she collected information and did not hide too much from people in the institute. Therefore, the core members of the research team naturally knew that Wu Tong's next topic was superconducting materials.
This is a very important and popular topic. They are not surprised that Wu Tong is interested in this topic. They remember that Wu Tong said that after New Year's Day, they will start a major topic in the field of superconductivity? But no matter whether it is or not, Wu Tong started to study and research in this area, and even experimented!
