As for how he came up with this idea, we have to go back to Chu Que’s remarks just now about “he is a human” and “the stream will flow away”.
"I was bored and my mind was in a mess, so I went to visit Chu Que's house and planned to have some barbecue to relax." Still hungry, Lu Guansheng ordered takeout and found a comfortable place to sit down.
"He's basking in the sun! He says he won't feel hot if he sweats! He says he's a human being, so his body temperature is constant."
"And then?" This incoherent conversation made the two even more curious.
"When he mentioned that humans can maintain a constant body temperature by sweating, my mind went wild," Lu Guansheng said, expressing his thoughts at the time. "Isn't the biological operation of the human body actually like a perpetual motion machine?"
The heart is activated by absorbing energy through eating, and other organs are activated by the blood transported by the heart. The heat generated keeps the body at a constant temperature, and the excess heat is carried away through the evaporation of sweat.
Assuming that sweat is energy output, then sunlight is the source of excess heat, and sweat is the product of blood activating the nervous system and transmitting temperature-control and heat-relieving information to the brain.
So Lu Guansheng came up with the idea of internal circulation heating to dissipate energy.
"Then the hot pot water started boiling, and I looked at it and thought of our reactor."
"Then what?"
"He also said that the stream can't be boiled because the water flows away before it's heated... Conversely, the water in the hot pot has nowhere to escape and can only be heated and turned into steam."
Then Lu Guansheng thought of the pressure cooker... and from the pressure cooker he thought of the reactor...
"Anyway, after having a bunch of inexplicable unimportant thoughts, everything suddenly became clear!" Lu Guansheng shrugged.
"I understand!" The miner nodded. "It's the same principle as the movement of planets. We're simulating Saturn. Saturn is actually like a pressure cooker, right?"
"You get it!" Lu Guansheng nodded.
"Wait! You two geologists, slow down! I can't keep up!" Gear felt that his thoughts were lagging behind.
"Our current reactor is externally powered, just like a traditional pressure cooker that heats water," the miner began to explain.
A planet is like a self-heating pressure cooker, where various particles collide with each other under high pressure and high temperature to generate energy.
"Earth and Saturn are both living planets with constant temperatures, while Mars is a dead planet with variable temperatures. The difference lies in the reaction of the earth's core." Lu Guansheng pointed out the key point.
"The reactor we want to build will use the principles of this living planet, allowing it to continuously react on its own. The original energy loss will become energy output!" The miner changed his mind.
Originally, they focused on how to prevent energy loss. Not only did they want to prevent it, but they also wanted to find a way to collect the energy generated by the reactor.
Now Lu Guansheng's idea has opened up reverse thinking for them.
This means that instead of collecting the reaction energy of the reactor, the energy that is emitted after the reaction and is originally "lost" is collected.
"It was raining in the north just now." Lu Guansheng said something incomprehensible again, "Thunderstorm!"
"Boss!" Gear was about to cry, "Can you think a little slower?"
"There are also many thunderstorms on Saturn, right? So the center of Saturn is still alive!" Lu Guansheng said this to the miner.
"I think... I understand!" The miner thought about it and his eyes lit up!
"Forget it! I don't want to know what you are thinking! Just tell me how to design it!" Gear shook his head. They had different majors, so their thinking patterns were indeed very different.
"Gears! I think we should be able to break through the unit calculated in microns this time!" The miner became motivated and stood up to go back to study.
"Wait! Eat first! There's no rush!" Lu Guansheng pulled him back.
The two looked at Lu Guansheng, who still believed that "eating is the most important thing in the world", with a helpless look on his face.
After quickly solving the problem of food and clothing, the three of them returned to the design station.
They enlarged the ping-pong ball-sized reactor to a diameter of 50 centimeters in a 3D simulator.
The outer 15 centimeters are still solid-state room-temperature superconductors, while the inner 20 centimeters are replaced with liquid ultra-high-temperature superconductors.
These liquid superconductors are filled with many hydrogen and helium atoms with stable structures and appear calm.
"Gears!" Lu Guansheng said. "Add one room-temperature superconducting wire per square centimeter. After exiting the pressure protection layer, form two cables and input them into the two battery units respectively."
While the gear was doing this, Lu Guansheng said, "Two lightning generators are installed inside the protective layer as activation tools."
After saying this, Lawrence Lu asked the two of them to continue the operation and planned to leave.
"Boss is leaving?" asked the miner.
"Well! This thing will take you a week or so to build. I'm busy!" Lu Guansheng put on his spacesuit. "Contact me when you're done."
"Swoosh!" Lu Guansheng flew away again.
About ten days later, Lawrence Lu received the news.
Back at the experimental station, they were ready, as success or failure depended on this one move.
The gear and miners were excited, some expectant, some nervous.
"Let's start!" Lu Guansheng nodded to them.
The start button was pressed again, and two bolts of lightning shot towards the reactor.
"Click!" After the initial sound, there was a period of silence.
The power of lightning brings extra electrons to the originally stable hydrogen and helium atoms, and the negatively charged particles begin to repel each other.
Because it is a closed space, the process of mutual repulsion and collision occurs. As this process repeats, the reactor comes alive.
In just a few minutes, the reactor's red light slowly changed from 4.5 million Hz to 7.3 million Hz purple light!
