October 5th.

Huang Xiuyuan participated in a high-level scientific research video conference.

The expensive virtual conference room system is also the first time it has been put into use. It uses an internal fiber network and there is no possibility of network leakage.

Currently, the Suiren Department has arranged somatosensory cabins in 45 major cities and 86 research institutes across the country. Through this somatosensory cabin, people can achieve an immersive meeting effect.

Although these somatosensory cabins are just simplified versions of the one in Huang Xiuyuan's secret room, the cost of one set is still as high as about 800,000.

The first meeting.

More than 170 people from the Suiren Department, including Huang Xiuyuan, Lu Xuedong, etc., as well as experts and scholars from various nuclear energy fields across the country, as well as relevant enterprises and institutions such as the China National Nuclear Corporation, the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, participated in this virtual meeting.

Several academicians in the field of nuclear energy came to the stage to publish some recent achievements and their prospects for the future.

Academician Fang Pengfei, chief engineer of China National Nuclear Corporation, just came on stage to speak and appeared in the seat next to Huang Xiuyuan.

Academician Fang whispered: "Xiuyuan, your company should also have nuclear energy projects, right?"

Huang Xiuyuan did not deny that the Suiren Group did have several nuclear projects, including the radioactive material separation technology developed previously, as well as seawater heavy water refining, seawater uranium element refining, etc., but did not conduct in-depth research on nuclear fission reactors.

"Our company has some projects, but I don't agree with the research and development of the fission reactor, mainly in some theoretical research on nuclear fusion."

Academician Fang was a little surprised: "Nuclear fusion? Which direction do you plan to go?"

"Which direction can you go?" Huang Xiuyuan spread his hands helplessly: "Now it is impossible to only go through magnetic constraints, inertial lasers, and imitation devices."

"That's true." Academician Fang naturally knew the difference between the three. The imitation star device was too complicated, while the inertial laser was just selling dog meat with the head of a sheep.

Many areas that study inertial lasers are nominally studying controlled nuclear fusion, but are actually conducting micro-nuclear explosion experiments.

The magnetically bound tokamak device has some hope.

However, there are also many difficulties. To achieve controlled nuclear fusion commercial power generation, the four core problems of temperature, inner wall neutron irradiation, plasma operation model, and room temperature superconductivity must be solved.

Only at present, humans can only barely solve the temperature and use low-temperature superconducting.

There has never been a good solution for the remaining neutron irradiation and plasma operation rules.

Huang Xiuyuan listened to the speeches of many industry experts, but did not find any eye-catching solutions. Controlled nuclear fusion that is always 50 years away is not a joke.

This nuclear energy symposium not only discusses the standards and technical directions of the new generation of fission reactors, but also discusses some issues of nuclear fusion.

Although the energy problem has been solved in China, both traditional fossil fuels and new energy have developed very quickly.

But even Huang Xiuyuan cannot guarantee whether Western countries will point out controllable nuclear fusion technology in advance.

Controllable nuclear fusion is one of the tickets to open up the next era. Once a country masters this technology, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.

In order to ensure advantages, it is absolutely not allowed to lag behind in controlled nuclear fusion technology in China.

This is also the purpose of this symposium. I hope that some clear routes can be discussed to promote the development of controlled nuclear fusion.

But the more full the ideal, the more skinny the reality is.

In Huang Xiuyuan's memory, the first commercially controlled nuclear fusion power station in humans was the Weihai Nuclear Power Plant in Lu Province that was put into use in 2053.

Although the Weihai Nuclear Power Plant claims to be controlled nuclear fusion, it has not been completely commercialized, and its Q value has been stuck near 15, which is straight to the year when it was attacked, and the Q value is still hovering around 15.

At that time, the domestic system had room temperature superconducting technology, and the reaction temperature could also be increased to 840 million degrees Celsius. A rough plasma operation pattern model was also mastered.

However, the fatal problem of neutron irradiation has not been solved for a long time. The neutron anti-neutron material on the inner wall of the reactor can only last for up to 17 days, and it must be shut down and replaced.

Other parts will also undergo brittlement and degeneration deformation due to neutron exposure, and the parts will need to be replaced in 3 to 8 months.

In this way, the controllable nuclear fusion reactor has to stop at every few days to replace parts, and frequent startup and shutdowns have led to the Q value not being able to increase.

The cost of constantly changing materials is even more hopeless.

At that time, the United States also built an experimental nuclear fusion reactor in 2057, and the Q value was also stuck around 15.

As for the declining Xizhou, Lucia was hesitant to build an experimental reactor. After all, the average production cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity at that time was about 20 to 30 Chinese yuan.

Even China, which has a national system, cannot bear this cost, let alone a capitalist country. Capitalists will not fully support the transaction without profit.

Huang Xiuyuan, who was trapped in his memories, suddenly listened to Lu Xuedong's voice.

"Xuyuan, it's your turn to speak."

Huang Xiuyuan, who woke up from his memories, clicked on the stage to speak, and his figure disappeared from his seat and then appeared on the stage.

He has already made a draft for this symposium.

"I am very honored to be invited to speak, and I am very happy to discuss the future of nuclear energy with everyone." After Huang Xiuyuan finished speaking, he went straight to the topic:

"For the development of controlled nuclear fusion, I only put forward some immature suggestions on the magnetic binding scheme. I have not studied much other schemes, so I will not show off my skills here."

Open the information you prepared, and the three-dimensional three-dimensional figure of the Tokamak installation appeared in the middle of the conference hall.

"As we all know, there are currently four major problems in the magnetic binding scheme, including temperature and superconducting, which can be used barely. However, plasma operation rules and neutron irradiation have never been clues."

None of the participants were surprised by this.

"Our company has been studying the research on room temperature superconductors, and has achieved superconducting effects at present."

"I have also done a lot of analysis and simulation of the regular model of plasma operation, and I hope to cooperate in depth with the domestic Tokamak installation laboratory."

He paused for a moment and continued:

"But I can't do anything about the problem of neutron irradiation. Although using helium three as the raw material for nuclear fusion can effectively reduce the generation of neutrons, it is just that everyone knows the reason."

Of course everyone understands that helium 3 is very good. The problem is that the helium 3 inside Blue Star is pitifully small, and it is not enough to do experiments, let alone large-scale use.

I can only go to the moon to mine. Now, it is very difficult and extremely costly to mine Helium 3 on the moon to mine.

Even in the future, China and the United States have established bases on the moon, and can only extract up to 0.2 to 0.4 kilograms of helium three per year.

This scale of refining can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

"So, I sincerely invite everyone to develop anti-neutron materials. Suiren Company is willing to invest 5 billion to deal with anti-neutron materials."

Many people showed envious eyes about Huang Xiuyuan's wealth and ambition, and began to discuss in a low voice.
