"In fact, the power of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers comes from the conversion of nuclear fission into electrical energy. If we want to talk about safer research and development, it must be controlled nuclear fusion!" Wu Tong sighed deeply.
Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, though only a single letter apart, represent completely different phenomena. Nuclear fusion involves the synthesis of two light nuclei into a single heavier nucleus. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a heavy nucleus into two or more smaller atoms.
Nuclear fusion is difficult to control, requiring temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius and generating enormous amounts of energy, but it is the most common process in the universe. Nuclear fission also generates enormous amounts of energy, but not as much as fusion.
Crucially, the fuel for nuclear fission is extremely scarce on Earth and produces enormous amounts of radiation, causing varying degrees of harm to the human body, particularly for soldiers who spend their daily lives aboard ships. Furthermore, the waste from fission is extremely difficult to dispose of. However, the fuel needed for nuclear fusion can be extracted from the ocean, and its reserves are virtually inexhaustible.
"Controlled nuclear fusion!" Li Huaimin clicked his tongue. Mr. Wu was the one who dared to think of it. Even he, who was only beginning to understand the scientific research sector, knew that this conceptual thing was still 50 years away from controlled nuclear fusion!
If a top genius like Mr. Wu were to do it, I wonder if there would be a miracle? However, their naval vessels and aircraft carriers might not have that much time to wait for the success of controlled nuclear fusion!
Even if he believed in Mr. Wu's ability, he felt that a major project like controlled nuclear fusion could not be conquered in a short period of time! Otherwise, there would not be the curse that it would always take another fifty years!
"Don't worry, Leader Li. I'm not so arrogant as to just dive headfirst into controlled nuclear fusion. Regarding our aircraft carrier, please wait until I've thoroughly researched and developed it before finalizing a plan for you. Based on the superficial information I've learned so far, I have two general plans. One is to go with a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, improving engine efficiency, fuel tanks, and power systems... to achieve the sustained, stable power output and ultra-long endurance of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."
The second option is that we also break through the barrier of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and develop nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but we must develop radiation-resistant materials to ensure the personal safety of our coastal defense personnel.
Given the high cost and danger of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, I prefer conventionally powered aircraft carriers. They are overly simple, easy to operate, and economical and practical for us!"
Seeing Li Huaimin's expression, Wu Tong smiled and reassured the naval leader, carefully explaining her plans and ideas to Li Huaimin.
A grand leap forward is undesirable. Wu Tong decided to keep her feet on the ground, taking steady steps rather than taking one big leap at a time. Controlled nuclear fusion was her next step. The fusion reaction method, superconducting materials capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 100 million and neutron penetration, turbulent flow control, and magnetoelectric conversion were all key areas requiring breakthroughs, and they wouldn't be achieved overnight.
"All of this is up to you. We believe in your ability!" Li Huaimin assured firmly as soon as he heard Wu Tong's preliminary plan. They would give Wu Tong the greatest trust, just like the previous project team, and look forward to Mr. Wu bringing them miracles like doubling their profits again and again like Moukong.
"Thank you for your understanding, I will do my best!" Wu Tong gave the same assurance. Since she accepted Haijian's request, she did not intend to be perfunctory or stingy in her efforts.
"Thank you for your kindness, but the timeline may have to be postponed. I may need to complete the initial research in Beijing. I have two academic conferences on the 10th and 11th, and there will probably be seminars scheduled later. It will probably take about a week to arrange them! At the very least, I won't be able to arrange travel plans until the second half of the month!"
The time for the academic conference on the two proofs has been set. This is something that has been announced to the world and cannot be easily changed. Therefore, she is currently unable to arrange the trip immediately at Li Huaimin's invitation.
"We understand that your academic conference is equally important. Regarding security issues, our military will work together with the security department to make arrangements. You can just hold the academic conference with confidence and leave the rest to us. We will make detailed arrangements after you are done with your work!" They are not in a hurry yet and cannot give time to President Wu in the past few days. They will also do their best to help President Wu with this grand event!
A week of sedimentation is basically enough for the world's top international mathematics scholars to verify Wu Tong's results and make a global response.
Two more monumental advances, embodying Wu Tong's meticulous and flawless style, have astounded the world and added new monuments to the edifice of mathematics! - Terence Tao.
This expert, who is always the first to be active in the online world, was also the first to express his feelings this time. At the same time, he also announced to the world that, if nothing unexpected happens, the ABC conjecture and the Millennium Problem BSD conjecture have been proved by Wu Tong!
This is a miracle of mathematics, and a miracle of the world. We are fortunate to have Wu Tong in this century, allowing us to witness the end of these great mysteries! Thank you Wu Tong for bringing miracles to world mathematics! ——Deligne
I once thought I was the greatest mathematical genius in the world, and that few could rival me. But now, I suddenly realize that the world of mathematics has gained its greatest genius. The glory of this century lies squarely in Wu Tong! — Andrew Wiles.
········
These sentimental remarks from leading international scholars signaled the beginning of Wu Tong's renewed international and domestic success. With these affirmative words, celebrations for Wu's success in solving the world's most difficult problems, the ABC conjecture and the BSD conjecture, one of the seven major problems of the millennium, began to ignite, not only at Peking University but also through official reports, igniting a wave of pride across the Chinese internet.
Miracles strike again, and my God has made another huge breakthrough. The ABC conjecture, the BSD conjecture, things that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime. This year, my God has made a big splash, and he has knocked off two in one fell swoop. What a genius!
[For your information, this difficulty level is approximately ten times more difficult than an average person climbing to the summit of Mount Everest!]
[The above person doesn't need to explain it, we understand that it is a level of difficulty that mortals like us will never understand. We just need to call our God awesome! The endless admiration of the river is not enough to express my praise for our God!]
[All things return to my God. Once I see my God, all things become empty! My God attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven. The true God descends!]
····The Internet is bustling again, as joyful as the New Year, and excitement is everywhere. Even the sour chickens are not bothered. The repeated crackdowns and group attacks by netizens have taught them enough lessons, and they have arrested and banned too many people. My God is an untouchable taboo, and this is the common bottom line of all water armies.
