Chapter 436

Energy is an important indicator of the development of civilization. It can be said that only by mastering a large amount of energy can we develop the level of science and technology.

Originally, Jiang Cheng had obtained the technology of nuclear power reactor from the coal company, and it was a small nuclear power reactor.

According to the truth, Jiang Cheng should have no shortage of energy. After all, nuclear energy is a very efficient energy.

But the nuclear reactor Jiang Cheng got is a fission reactor, which is a technology of a long time ago.

Today's nuclear power plant is such a reactor. The coal industry has just miniaturized it, so it is not an advanced technology.

There are several defects in fission reactors, each of which is very fatal.

The first is that the reactor itself is quite unstable. If there is an accident, it is a serious radiation leakage accident.

I didn't see the leakage accident of the power station in Dao country a few years ago, and now the leaked radiation has not been cleaned up.

Bear country has also had a serious nuclear leak in history. A huge accident happened at the Chernobyl power station that year.

Up to now, the place is still uninhabitable, and decades later, it is still desolate.

If we vigorously develop this kind of reactor, the accident is only a matter of time.

Jiang Cheng didn't expect that Yan family would become like that. If there were radiation zones everywhere, he didn't have a good way to solve it.

The second is that this kind of reactor needs special radioactive materials, which are rare.

There are not many on the whole earth. It's not very easy to develop vigorously.

Even if Jiang Cheng wants to use it, it's very troublesome. A small amount of materials can still be obtained from the country by virtue of his current status. If he needs a large amount of materials, it's hard for him to get them.

Third, the upper limit of energy output of this kind of reactor is not high enough to meet the requirements of Jiangcheng.

The shortcomings of this kind of fission reactor are quite big, and various problems have caused Jiang Cheng not to want to use it.

Even the reactor on iron man's armor has to be used. If there is a better choice, Jiang Cheng doesn't want to use it.

Bi Yi carries a disaster with him at any time, even when he is fighting.

Apart from fission reactors, there is not much energy available at present.

The traditional thermal power generation is totally despised by Jiangcheng, and the wind and tidal energy are not very good.

Although solar energy is very safe and pollution-free, and solar energy can be said to be inexhaustible.

As long as the sun goes out one day, then the solar energy can be used all the time.

However, although solar energy is very good, it is not enough for Jiang Cheng to use.

Today's technology for the utilization of solar energy is too low, the output power is not enough.

Jiang Cheng thought for a long time in the laboratory, but he didn't find any suitable new energy.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Cheng still put his goal on nuclear energy.

The nuclear energy Jiang Cheng wants is not a fission reactor, but a fusion reactor.

Nuclear energy includes fission and fusion. Although both are nuclear energy, fusion is much more advanced than fission.

There is no pollution in the fusion reactor. The raw material it uses is the common element hydrogen.

This kind of energy is not only safe, but also has plenty of raw materials, and the output power is quite large, which is enough for Jiangcheng to use next.

Unfortunately, although the fusion reactor looks very beautiful, it is very difficult to realize this technology.

Many countries have long focused on the fusion reactor, but they have not been successful.

Jiang Cheng is ready to get the transformer reactor out and thoroughly solve the problem of the source.

After Jiang Cheng decided the next research direction, he was ready to start to study the related technology.

As for why we don't start the research immediately, it is because the current scientific and technological means can't meet the requirements of fusion reactor.

Without some necessary technology and materials, it is impossible to directly build a fusion reactor.

Jiang Cheng needs to get some advanced technology out first, or even he can't make a fusion reactor.

Those countries invest tens of billions of dollars every year, but since they can't develop fusion reactors, the reason is that the current conditions can't meet the requirements.

No matter how hard the scientists try, there is no hope of success.

First of all, materials are a problem that can not be bypassed. If the materials are not up to standard, the fusion reactor can only be imagined.

Fusion reactors need a lot of materials, many of which are not available on earth yet, and the most important material is superconducting materials.

Superconducting materials are essential materials for fusion reactors, and also play an important role in other fields.

As the name suggests, this material is used to conduct electricity. Generally speaking, it is a kind of conductor.However, this kind of conductor is not simple at all. Because it has no resistance, it will not generate heat when it is electrified again.

Although it seems that this kind of material is not very useful, but it will not heat up, but in fact it is very, very important.

We should know that in the process of using electric energy, a large part of it is wasted on heating. If superconducting materials are used, the wasted electric energy can be effectively utilized.

Not only is it a waste of electric energy, but heating is actually the biggest problem.

People usually use mobile phones and computers. If they use them for too long, they will get hot, which seriously affects the performance of the machine.

If those machines use superconducting materials, they won't heat up at all.

If the machine doesn't heat up, the heat sink can be canceled.

You may imagine a computer that doesn't need heat dissipation. You can stop using fans. You don't need to hear the sound of the fan turning any more.

If the mobile phone is made of superconductive materials, it can be used for several more hours at least when it is fully charged. In fact, most of the electric energy in the mobile phone is wasted in heating. These problems can be solved by superconductive materials.

The advantages of superconducting materials are far beyond these, and its importance can be seen.

Jiang Cheng wants to study superconducting materials, not only for fusion reactors, but also for many places.

If we study it first, it will be convenient for us to use it later.

Superconducting materials are nothing new. There are many kinds of superconducting materials.

However, these superconducting materials have great limitations. They all need to be at a very low temperature to have zero resistance.

If these materials are put at room temperature, they will lose their superconductivity.

Now the best superconducting materials need to be used in the temperature of dozens of degrees below zero.
